3. Royal First breakfast (Kao Tom Lobster) is very appalling (I didn't pre-order)
4. Royal Silk noodles is also tasted appalling (that I have to avoid)
5. Where is the slippers? Oh! it's in the kit but it shouldn't be in there
6. It is harder to use Gold upgrade as they starts killing out J class bucket
7. The price of J cabin (BKK-LHR rtn; THB 150000) does not match with the service quality
To be honest, if TG charged me for THB 170000 for LHR rtn in Silk and the seat and service is like SQ, I would go for that.
I don't fly in Economy and I use the Royal First Lounge so I cannot comment on the Royal Silk Lounge, or the Economy food offerings.
I disagree with you about the Royal Silk/First food. I have had nothing but excellent food on the FRA/CDG/LHR routes lately, and in Royal Silk as First flight schedules have not suited me lately. Especially the Thai Samrab.
Agree its odd that they put the slippers in the kit, and no socks. I would prefer the socks to slippers to be honest.
But here's a funny thing.......I agree the prices are higher than the competition's prices for LHR/FRA/CDG but the premium cabins are full and they are not all TIPs. The 777 and A350/380 on these routes are providing a very good hard product so if Thai can get the price they ask then good luck to them. Its just a pity they cannot turn a profit at these prices.
