TG hasnt said when they will finish with all refurbishments and all aircraft, but (from what I can tell from various sources):

*Four new A340s (with the new seats/interiors will be delivered in 2005)

*Four new A340s (with the new seats/interiors will be delivered in 2006)

*Seven new A340s/B787s (with new seats/int) delivered in 2007-2008 period

*all eleven B747s (with the oldest seats-18 seats in First class) will be reconfigured starting with first roll-out in Mar 2005

*one of the nine B747s (with the semi-new seats-14 seats in First class) will be reconfigured starting with first roll-out in 2005

*all eight B777-200s will be reconfigured starting with the first roll-out in Summer 2005

*all six B777-300s will be reconfigured starting with the first roll-out in Summer 2006

*not sure about refurbishment schedule of the 33 old A330s/A300s

*hope they dump or trade-in the four old MD-11s (I really dont like those old seat configs)

*not sure if they will refurbish the ten small B737s (three leased out to a subsidiary company budget airline called Nok ("Bird") Air)

*TG might get first shipment of A380s (super jumbo double deckers) in 2009

I agree that the new planes and overhaul in interiors and seats on most existing craft (starting with first roll-out this month) COMBINED with planned enhanced Thai food menus and entertainment systems, great friendly and warm Thai crew service and new super large Bangkok airport (and TG first and business class lounges with Thai modern decor and famous Thai massages) scheduled to be opened in March 2006 (postponed from Sept 2005) will make TG extremely competitive with all airlines (including top-notch Cathay Pacific and Singapore Air)
