Same on BKK-HND, no pyjamas, no caviar. full service meal otherwise including soup course... but there is only one meal on BKK-HND, and that is plenty. it is an afternoon/evening flight.

For redeye, Thai is actually quite generous with two meals - a hot snack with savories and soup after takeoff, and then a full breakfast prior to arrival. Considered SQ serves one meal only on a longer flight. Korean Air and Asiana also serves one single meal on this redeye/late night departure in first and business class. MH is possibly the only other airline offers a hot snack (satays and fruit) after takeoff and breakfast prior to arrival on this redeye flights. The Japanese airlines offer one hot meal but they have a a la carte snack service - cup noodles and sandwiches and fruit on demand, and breakfast prior to arrival.
For return daytime flight, it is quite common for Asian airline to serve only one hot meal on these long flights. The meal service in first and business are full international style with multiple courses. Japanese carriers offer a la cart snack on demand service (noodle soups and/or sandwiches and/or ice cream cups) and MH offers a satay service. Even SQ offers only one meal on these long daytime Japan to Singapore flight.
But these Asian airlines often have lots of packaged snacks and/or cup of noodles stocked. Theoretically you will not go hungry. I also can't imagine SQ F/As turning down requests to serve you the cheese plate and dessert later in flight in first and business class.

I find them good enough, very similar to M&S lounge wear but not compared to Calvin Klein X which is much softer. In the past (early 2000s) they used to be branded but even the latest ones I got 2 weeks ago were acceptable.

Anyone hoping for A380 and FC on TG640 watch out. I just saw that my TG640 BKK-NRT was changed to an A330... now I'm in a lousy BC angled seat.

That's why the day flights BKK NRT TG676/677 are on the A380

When I booked it, the flight showed a380... Must have repurposed or changed it.
Oh well. Guess I'll have to slum it for the 6 hours to Tokyo.

I am planning to book the same flight for early next year as part of my roundtrip, TG 640 showing an A330 operation. I am getting a booking in First Class 'P' but the A330s don't have F

with TG of course you never really know until you board.
I had booked F last year on the late evening flight when it showed A346 but then got changed to B787 so I was involuntarily downgraded with no compensation.
