the ba site gives a price of around 106k THB - not selecting "flexible" tho so the fare conditions state "Refunds - There are no refunds except for any government & airport taxes"

so it would seem qr do offer flexibility on f fares but at a price. ba offer cheaper fares but with restrictions.

that’s a much bigger difference than the op had though (about £1250 rather than 80!) I wonder if the full flex might be due to the one way booking you tried? (Not clear to me the op’s trip is one way though I may have missed it?)
