ZRH-BKK-ZRH in Y. Swiss or Thai?
I'm planning a couple of weeks in Thailand in Sep.
If I fly through ZRH, Swiss sells both flights operated by them and flights operated by Thai (Swiss codeshare) at the same price.
Since the price is exactly the same, any recommendations on what to chose?
I'm an FTL with LH if it matters.
Thanks!

In case you plan on earning miles on this flight, be very careful with the booking class if you choose for the code share. Last year I did not get the miles on a ticket booked on the LX website, LX flight number but operated by TG - even if during the booking process they promised me 100% miles.
So make sure to check the booking class on the Star Alliance website before buying!
Apart from that, I prefer flying TG above LX on ZHR - BKK, mainly because of the extra legroom.

I couldn't find any such tool on the Star Alliance website.
