I wonder if I ask nicely if the FA will give me one. Im in Business Class. Do they give amenity kits on the daytime BKK-PEK? I have never gotten them on regional flights before, but perhaps they are given on flights of 3-4 hours?

Why would they give it to you if you're flying in business? It's an F class amenity.

Got a Silver one today coming from Frankfuurt to BKK, (BKK-FRA also silver). The while cabin had the same color. I have a blue and a purple one from other flights to London and Frankfurt.

Now, the one I had today might have been in the sun too long, the thai logo moved and also did the Rimowa brand. So those parts are stickers and you can remove them if you want

He's saying "if he asks nicely..." and I certainly have received F amenity kits and even F pajamas from TG when flying TG J ... and I did ask very nicely. So anything's possible.

Yes, it's Thai. In Thailand (and Philippines, in where I'm living), everything is negotiable to a large extent and depending on relationship rather than rule, for better or worse. Sometime one can't get what he deserves, and another gets what he doesn't (e.g. see how many Thais upgraded to F cabin)...

True brahms77 - anything is possible if asked in a nice manner! I got a lovely purple one, which is of course very befitting for TG!

Cheers,

Good for you!

I see nothing wrong with asking. If anything, it's a permanent marketing placement tool for both TG and Rimowa. Besides, those who regularly have to fly TG C due to company/tax policies are probably contributing far more to TG's bottom line than the occasional F flyer or F redemptions, so no harm in a little treat for us, middle of the bus pax.

My partner just flew BKK-LHR 2 weeks ago and came back with 2 Rimowa kits - one purple, one blue. I love them!

Could we organise an international contest who has most Thai Rimowa kits ? Entries should be supported by notarised photographic documents . I have 10 but no idea how to upload photos , would that count if I give you my word ?

Considering your in jest/sarcastic posts on another thread I'd not be inclined to simply take your word for it.
