fleet renewal plan
Thai Airways International has said it would revise its plan to order twenty-three new aircraft by the end of 2018 after the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) criticised the airline, The Nation has reported. "We will take time one month to revise the plan. Then we will propose the new plan to the transport minister and NESDB for consideration," CEO Sumeth Damrongchaitham said. The plan was announced in July 2017 by the Minister of Transport Arkhom Termpittayapaisith. He said that the total value of the order, which still needed the approval of the entire cabinet at that time, could reach THB100 billion bahts (USD3.1 billion). He specified that the new order would likely include A320neo for regional subsidiary Thai Smile (WE, Bangkok Suvarnabhumi) and any of A330-800s, A330-900s, A350s, B787-9s, or B777Xs for the mainline carrier.
The Thai flag carrier currently operates an exclusively widebody fleet consisting of fifteen A330-300s, twelve A350-900s, six A380-800s, eight B747-400s, six B777-200s, six B777-200(ER)s, six B777-300s, fourteen B777-300(ER)s, six B787-8s, and two B787-9s. For its part, Thai Smile operates twenty A320-200s.

Yikes - the increase on BKK-LHR is THB 9,280-12,800?!

The hike is even more on longer flights – Bt2,112 to Bt3,712 for (economy – first class) flights to and from New Delhi, Karachi, Dubai, Shanghai and Beijing. Travellers to Japan will have to pay an additional Bt2,560 to Bt4,800 while the load on London passengers will be even higher at Bt9,280 to Bt12,800.

Looks like 9280 baht on a Y booking that's about Ł232 that can't be correct that would put a basic Y booking well over Ł700.
Going to be a lot of empty seats at that price on the LHR/BKK route.

by-the-way..
it seems to me that this fuel charge increase was implemented for flights/tickets sold in Japan/Korea already on 1.August and from Europe/Australia/other Asian countries in mid-August.
Only in Thailand they have waited to charge more until now, but don't know for what reasons....

It does not help that Q2 operating loss was much larger than last year:
" THAI and its subsidiaries had operating loss of THB 2,807 million, loss higher than previous year of THB 965 million."
