They are in the process of refitting the really old 2x2 recliner-style F class 747s with the same suites that the A380s will have.
But according to this thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thai-...-suites-6.html it is supposed to end up on BKK-MUC and BKK-FRA. But with TG you never know for sure until you are on the aircraft.

I'm booked on SYD-BKK in Jan '13 and just got a change of metal to 747 All Series. This should be the newly refurbished planes. (fingers crossed!)

As is KVS...TG600.
It also shows '380' on TG920 (FRA in 2013) but only when searching awards...not general availability so hard to tell when it starts.
EDIT: UA shows TG920 as A380 from either Dec 15 or 16 2012. It also seems to show zero award availability in C and F every day!

I wouldn't get my hopes up too high for the refurbished 747 on the BKK-SYD route.
Thai will only refurbish 6 747s, but currently BKK-FRA, BKK-MUC, BKK-FCO, BKK-MAD and BKK-SYD are shown as being served on a refurbished 747.
So, something does not add up there, because you would need more than 6 aircraft to operate all these routes. Either the system assigned the new 74N to all possible routes or Thai decided to refurbish more than 6 planes (?).
BTW, I am booked on BKK-SYD-BKK myself, so if indeed the 74N was operated on this route, I would be more than happy, but it's not doable with only 6 refurbished aircraft.
