I was TGed twice on a same day BKK-SIN-BKK trip in J on 04 Sep!

BKK-SIN: 359 to 789. That was OK.

SIN-BKK: 788 to 772. I didn’t mind the change, and might prefer the 772 for a short day flight.

Atleast they didn't show up with some A320 that uses European business of blocking a middle seat😂.

This is what Thai uses on their India routes normally, which is why I was surprised that when I booked the assigned aircraft was a 787.

It's a night flight, so was hoping for some rest, as I have a busy day in BKK upon arrival, followed by another flight to TYO in the afternoon.
Funny enough the TG 777-300 have the same seat yet is in 2-3-2.
