GBVery poor service I flew codeshare with Thai Air, having booked on Turkish Airlines. I tried to book seats on the phone for our return flight, as we did not book direct with Thai Airlines. Kept on hold, no reply. At the airport all seats booked on the return flight to Turkey. My husband and I had to seat separately, both in middle seats - 3 seat plane. We ordered vegetarian food, and ended up with inedible vegan food! Obviously, Thai does not understand the difference between vegetarian and vegan. Entertainment on plane was poor, I had to ask for a blanket on an overnight flight as they had not put one on my seat. No amenity kit given, unlike Turkish Airlines. Cabin crew, practically non existent, after serving food. Avoid this airline, unless you are looking for below par service.

THNo compassion on Thai Airways I had fallen and broke my foot while on holiday. Had booked a wheelchair but because that was pre booked I could not change my seats online. The doctor had written a letter to state that i should be upgraded to business class due to it being necessary to keep my foot elevated. Upon arrival at the airport they were not willing to change my seat not upgrade to business without paying the full fee. I begged if I could just sit there seeing the seat was available without any extra or at least pay a discounted fee, however they did not care even with a medical certificate.

GBWaited 4 years and 3 months for refund… Waited 4 years and 3 months for refund of flight cancelled during covid. In the time since booking my cash will have lost 35-40% to inflation while Thai probably had it sitting in a high interest account. Seeing headlines about plans to double their fleet size and business is booming. Greedy and ignorant business only concerned with lining their own pockets.

DK8 hour flight delay, no compensation I recently experienced a significant flight delay with Thai Airways, in total an 8-hour delay. This delay caused me to incur additional expenses: - an extra night's stay at the hotel - meals - transport Further, it led to missed meetings. Despite attempts to address and seek compensation for these inconveniences, I found the responses from Thai Airways to be unempathetic and unwilling to help. Additionally, some of the provided email addresses for contact were outdated or unreachable. This experience has significantly impacted my view of the airline and its customer service and taught me the value of flying with European airlines which are covered by European aviation regulations, which offer better passenger protection. Additionally, I have a preference for airlines with a predominantly Airbus fleet over Boeing, given the recent safety concerns surrounding Boeing.

GBAn airline that brings dishonour to Thailand I had to reschedule a flight. It was impossible to do this online which is very unusual these days. Getting hold of anyone in customer services is an absolute nightmare. The phones are hopeless. If you search around online you may be lucky to get an email address that someone may answer. If you need any kind of money back then, after they have helped themselves to a sizeable slice of your pie, you will wait months and months. You will enter a fog of unknowing. There is no contact, no updates, no means of finding out anything. You hit an opaque wall through which light cannot penetrate. It wasn’t even as if this was a cheap ticket. We’re talking over £1000 (USD 1250) economy for LHR to CNX via BKK. This is an opaque airline which damages and dishonours Thailand.
