Used to be a regular on the TG flight from LAX to BKK at least twice per year, and it also provided very convenient transfers to SW China and KMG where I often need to travel to. I agree with others demand is there and with the almost flooding of the market for SIN now with multiple carriers, seems just a matter of time for someone to reinstate BKK.
TG not only did LAX-BKK but also JFK-BKK nonstop on the 340, and (unfortunately) couldn't make either one pay. I'd love to see UA do SFO-BKK, and I'd happily pay for J, but I don't think it's in the works.
