Too bad, I have already booked my award tickets before this promotion comes out, but in case there is anyone interested. All the selected routes aren't that interesting to me, but still a good deal I believe as I don't see THAI do this 50% off award tickets often.

A good offer. Must have just been posted today, as I was looking through the ROP website yesterday quite a bit. Although the start date for the promo is 01 Aug....maybe I just missed it.
I don't have any flexibility to take up this 'low/rainy season' offer, and have mostly burned miles at present in any case.
Good for award nominees too:

Of course it would be appealing to many others, and if the deal extend to next year then I would definitely burn miles to fly to

Quick question - How do you guys search for award availability? I'm transferring points from CITI, however the site doesn't allow me to search for seats unless I have enough miles. 
I also called the LA Office, the agent was unhelpful and said she can't search award flights. (What?!) I have to call the Thai office and pay for international fees to search for award tickets.
Any way else I can find availability for the routes I need?

To add, these days an international telephone call is quite inexpensive. I have no hesitation calling THAI Bangkok office from NZ, as the service is top notch and the call costs around $2-$4.
If spending <$5 achieves my aim, I am not fussed.....
I also have a paid subscription to ExpertFlyer at $10 a month. Very useful for award searches, and much, much more...

I don't recall we need enough miles to search on ROP, but if that's the case try searching on ANA, it will show other Star Alliance carriers too if available, then you could look through the result for THAI. Also, if you like, I could help searching ROP for you, just give me routes and time period

The rep did mentioned that for these "promo" flights required to be called in to the Thai call center to be redeemed/ticketed, they cannot be purchase on the website. So FYI
