Trying to select seats in business class for flight on TG. When I put the Thai record locator it tells me

4 warnings

  • Your updated "CONTACT INFORMATION" is required before adding any service(s). Please click "Modify traveller details" below to process

  • Your updated "CONTACT INFORMATION" is required before adding any service(s). Please click "Modify traveller details" below to process
  • To change your flight(s)/date(s) of travel, please contact the THAI office at your point of departure or your travel agent (if the booking was made through a third party).


I go to the Contact information, I can add passport numbers for my wife and myself, the only thing I cannot edit is Mr. or Mrs. which is greyed out and it tells me that this field is mandatory. Without that I can't go to the next tab which is Services.

At Services I see: For purchased add-ons such as Preferred Seat / Additional baggage and Etc. If passenger need to change any (the date, the flight, the seat) please contact THAI worldwide office or THAI Contact Center (+66-2-3561111)

So I can't add services if I can't add Contact Info and the catch 22 is closing again on itself...
I found that this error is alive and well on the Thai Airways website, and I could not find another partner airline website which allowed me to select seats. A simple fix allowed me to select seats: Right click on the grayed out Title box and select "Inspect". Scroll through the code on the line the cursor defaults to, and delete the word "disabled". Then you will be able to select your title, enter all personal information, and after that is complete select seats on the Thai Airways website
