I could only speculate! Maybe route dependant according to what the marketing folks come up with? Maybe fleet dependant (unlikely).
What were the route and aircraft types for each of the different J amenity kits?

AKL-BKK was non branded from memory, very basic and as such left it onboard the aircraft as not worth keeping. This was onboard a B789.
BKK-VIE was Greyhound (not the American Bus company
)
VIE-BKK was Lacoste onboard a B788
BKK-AKL was Mandarina Duck onboard a B789
Thanks for your reply, ThaiKiwi

Good to see the 789 seems to be more regular AKL-BKK! I can’t recall what I received in Apr AKL-BKK-HKG-BKK-SIN- BKK-AKL - but I guess I received 6 of them (don’t track brands of this kinda thing)

OK, from April I have Furla, Samsonite and Greyhound.
I like the Furla bags as they seem perfect to stash away various USB cables, chargers and such things. I suppose the bag is slightly more waterproof? But I know nothing of the relative fashion merits of such stuff, just my view on functionality for my uses...

I have a mix of Furla, Greyhound, Samsonite, Naraya, no-brand and one Porsche Design from recent flights - the Furla and Greyhound ones are most common in my experience.
That said, I have no logical explanation for the constant change either - other than the usual TG trend of going for a bit of everything (like their fleet!)..

Got a Mandarina Duck on a BKK-CDG and a Lacoste just now on the way back. Go figure. This lacks of consistency is mildly annoying, but at least the quality of the kit isn’t too shabby...

Hehe. In the end I don’t really mind – they’re pretty and with good quality. But I’d still like to understand the rationale behind. I don’t think it’s route-based since you get a different kit on the same route. I guess logistics play a role here.

A lot of airlines have different amenity kits outbound and inbound. Maybe Thai just started doing that....
