Sorry for delay in responding - definitely not an Aprils Fools Joke (i'd hope if I did one it would be funnier 
).
Seems wideopen to me, books into J, balid for departures 01 May - 30 Jun & 01 Sep-30 Nov - ticket by 15 April, 1 month max stay. I'm getting £1720 inc. tax, so i'd underestimated the tax (apologies I see fares ex. tax) - so at THB49 makes about THB84000. But still FAR cheaper than you're seeing.
Maybe TG are not offering direct - if you need a recommendation for a TA, try Trayvale Travels in London - they have staff in Thailand and their staff speak Thai as well (note - i've not used them, but they come highly recommend and have good relationship with TG & BR for UK-Thailand flights).

Sam Bee, the one month duration won't work for me coming from LHR-BKK. I live in Bangkok and I travel to Europe about four or five times a year, so would really need 3 or 6 months validity. But I may contact Trayvale and see what they can do
Thanks again

Sometimes, you need to check the specific country page. There is a companion fare at the moment - http://www.thaiairways.com/en_HK/pla...ip/index.page?

If you fly to HKT, TG has one direct flight with decent price in J on a spacious J seat/bed.
KA (part of CX group) often has two flights per day, but they are expensive as preferred by locals. You also have HK Express and Thai Air Asia with nonstops.
