so i dont get it, do they want them all in the same air space at the same time?, making them all having to constantly watch they do not collide, & then when they land at bkk, (at the sametime) the staff have a big rush to accomodate them instead of taking a more planned appraoch if the arrivals were staggered

yes i am staggered too! anyone know why this is so??
How many of those are codeshares (1 actual flight with different flight numbers)? I would be almost sure that BA and QF (both OW) are codeshares and maybe others as well.
