Hi, they serve drinks, then your choice of entre/dinner/dessert, followed by tea or coffee and by the time you are finishing your second dup of coffee, the plane is on decline into Penang. Coming back to BKK from Malaysia, you will notice they may not serve you champagne before takeoff, but once you are up, it is available

If you're tall the best seats on the plane are the exit rows, 39 and 40. If you're wide then J is the best location.
I'm not a bulkhead fan, but row 1 might be the best C seat as there's nobody reclining into your knees.
At least to PNH they only load one bottle of champagne per direction. Half the time dinner is mystery meat.

Thanks all, shouldn't be bad for the short flight, especially compared to the USA carriers. As long as we still get the massage in the Royal Orchid Spa we'll be good to go!

I remember getting on one of these and walking past the first row in economy. That row is absolutely ridiculous, how close they have it jammed up behind the C seats (no bulkhead as I recall, but a curtain that hangs in your face.)

Yes, you are correct yyc I just remembered it was not good, and checked the pitch on seatguru. Seatplans.com shows 32 inches in economy and 33 in business. I guess the truth might be somewhere in between.
Thai doesn't specify pitch. Not surprising, perhaps.
11277m.
