You could, well, buy a business class ticket if the room in coach is not sufficient for you.

BKK-SFO/LAX in C on NH is about $3,300 round-trip.
My employer only purchases cattle car. Business class would be out of my pocket. I like where I work, but not that much.

E+ on a 747 beats the heck out my experience with coach on ANA last year. No comparison at all.
