Good for prem econ pax ( I think them upgr. to the 2nd C cabin behind )
But econ pax hoping to enjoy 36 " pitch now only have 34 or behind 32 ", but I think about this, TG not care so much. Business Iam not sure if the same product ? At least the 60" pitch is the same ( sleeperseat ), but I think the screen on that A345 is bigger than on a A346 ?
Anyhow, I think that's the biggest problem with TG. Them have too many different seatproduct running ! 7442 & 7443 , 777 , 340-300, 340-500, 340-600. And them mix and match just like them want.
But this is TG ! Thai people would never complain about things like this (only we stupid farangs ). And that's why them not care about this.
Only 34"?? Industry standard in Y is 32" and some major carriers offer even less. I find it strange that you complain about not getting 34" or even 36". The 36" on the A345 was only supposed to be for the ultra-long LAX and JFK routes and never meant for Europe. So this should be considered a bonus for the lucky travellers from OSL who get a chance to fly the A345.

BTW the 772ER has 34" in Y, the 773 has 34" in the front Y cabin (and 35" for the last three rows in the plane). Only 772 has an all 32" Y cabin.
