Sorry, this sort of silliness is why I only fly TG in a pinch. They've been misleading about eqp on routes forever.
Some years ago (before the 744 refit) they advertised that BKK-LAX would have the (then) new seats Tue & Fri. It was printed in their schedule. It never happened. My last paid TPAC TG flight was when a FA told me to never believe their advertising.
On most airlines an equipment sub still gives you the same product. Not true on TG.
There are pages & pages of rants about TG's last minute equipment subs & I think all are justified. In spite of all their raves in various polls, I think that TG is just about on par with VN.
Thailand is a great place, but TG is crap. I fly LH or AF when I want to go to BKK from SGN.
