Yes, there are a few partner booking classes like UA's K that have inexplicably fallen through TG's cracks. If it's not listed as earning 0 or less than 100% miles, then it will earn full miles....until somebody at TG gets around to noticing and updating the partner booking code list. Check before each and every time you make a booking, just in case Thai has tinkered with the code earning list, although IIRC they have historically updated it only once a year.

If the itinerary warrants and the price is right, I have often found that flying CO or US (or codeshares with UA) yields more fruitful opportunities for earning TG miles, as Thai has shut out fewer CO/US booking classes compared to UA. CO's S fares hit the sweet spot for me.
