If you'd like to know your Thai Airways record locator out of curiosity, you can e-mail [email protected] with your request. Unless something has changed recently, Thai does not have online seat selection for UA-ticketed award tickets — but you can also e-mail your seat request to [email protected] . Give them the dates of travel & name and you should be good to go; I also usually include the ticket number in case it helps. (You can get your e-ticket number by viewing "view receipt" on the united.com view of your reservation.)
