I do not think so!
if you google the item, you will see that it has popped up at other airlines...
TG is certainly not keen to get involved with any copycat products and Thailand is trying hard to get rid of such Reputation
Even the Deputy Prime Minister wears genuine and not fake Rolex; I heard he has quite a collection...

This is disappointing if it holds up. Taking my first F flights ever on TG in March.

TG are loading the Rimowa kits and the new steel blue colour PJs ex-BKK and the Porsche Design kits with dark blue PJs ex-Europe. Photos attached of the two sets of amenities/PJs, from my flights over the past two weeks. I rather like the new Black/Tan canvas Rimowa kit but I do NOT like the Porsche Design kit......not a patch on the Rimowa kit IMHO.



From BKK to CDG

exactly the same what I got, except a different PJ exBKK (upper picture)...was yours really "steel blue"? (I probably have to check with the doctor whether I get color blind)...mine was rather brown-beige-yellowish

They also had the Beige suits but I have so many of them I wanted the newer "steel blue" as I had not seen that before........you are (probably) not colour blind......

Well, if there are too may sets of PJs by those of you travelling in F, I'd be happy to receive any unwanted/unloved PJs to replace those I received on my last F flight FRA-BKK back in 2007 !!

I am L and my wife is M but she has not traveled with me that often so I have a wardrobe full of Ls.....PM your address and I will send you a pair. I have about five different styles of PJ, but more beige than any other colour.

Oh, I was kidding when I posted

That said, if some FlyerTalk drinks can be arranged in Bangkok late Apr or Sep this year, then I’d take you up on the kind offer over a beer/wine!! I may try and arrange.....

Cheers, TK

I usually give them away. My wife and myself have an upcoming F flight in March/April; so we could send you one or hand you over one in Bangkok (unfortunately we are seldom in Auckland...)

I live in Bangkok, so would certainly be on for a Flyer Talk drinks meet up. Bin Sabai and I tried to arrange a drinks meet before but it didn't work out.

I once shipped a pair of my wife's Thai F PJs to a guy in Connecticut whose wife had left hers on their flight and they both wanted to wear them for a visit to his brother's home over Christmas. DHL courier cost him about US$100 I believe.

Living in BKK too, I have also been contemplating this idea - maybe it is time to try again? - I would definitely be up for meeting up for drinks some day if you guys are interested
