I believe-and its all speculation-when it comes to Thai Airways, they have exclusively wide bodies. (Never have seen a narrow body.)
They run their wide bodies on varying length international. From shorter hops to intercontinental. Those flights tend to fill. During the layover periods when they would normally sit, they run them on the short intracountry flights. Thus you will fly for an hour on a 747 to Phuket etc.
