TG ran a 747 BKK-NRT-SEA, and briefly extended the route with tag-ons to both DFW and YYZ
SEA was obviously a crew change point, and very soon after service began the flight and cabin crews complained about the lack of good Thai food during their long layovers ... Bai Tong restaurant opened adjacent to a small nearby hotel, which quickly became the contract accommodations for the TG crews; the restaurant continued to draw a large customer base even after the airline dropped its SEA service, and has twice moved to larger spaces in more accessible locations (first to Pacific Highway South, and later to its current Southcenter Parkway site)
