So, I went here and managed to select the meals I wanted. The page is back up.

All seems to be in order and the meals show correctly.
However, when I return to the
http://www.thaiairways.co.uk/ page, I check my reservation (
http://wftc3.e-travel.com/plnext/tha...VB&LANGUAGE=GB) and it displays vegetarian hindu. It is worth noting that the UK website times out when attempting to see the pre-order menu, so ordering through there is impossible.
I think this must be a coding issue. If the domain you view your reservation through, no longer has a functioning pre-order system, your pre-order defaults to option number 1 : vegetarian hindu.
I'm just hoping that my actual reservation, as read by the caterers pre-flight, indicates my preference correctly.
So, the million dollar question is: has anybody else flown with hindu vegetarian appearing on their booking and actually gotten the meal they pre-ordered?
If not, wish me luck. I'll be the FT guinea pig, hoping for a lobster breakfast from LHR-BKK on Saturday
