No power to row of seats - no screen/charging/light/air ...... plus very little care 30 mins into flight the screens went blank along the row of three seats. I brought this to the attention of a flight attendant in the galley area – who was irritated but did offer to have a look as soon as possible. Waited 30 mins – nobody came to look at the screens. I asked another flight attendant who looked at the screens and said “I’ll get them reset”. Waited another hour - nothing happened. Asked yet another flight attendant who said “they will be reset”. I asked how long this might take – a shrug was the response. Over the next hour we asked attendants twice more about the progress with no further information being forthcoming – we had lost faith in the ‘it’s being reset’ comment. Now 2 hours 30 mins into the flight a ‘minor manager’ arrived to offer us “compensation” – a choice of ‘2500 Thai air miles’ or $100 off our next Thai Air flight. We explained that this was not compensation because as we were unlikely to fly to Thailand again the offer had no value to us. We asked to speak to the ‘manager’. After another 30 minutes and now about 3 hours into the flight the ‘flight manager’ arrived and explained that no other offer of compensation was available, but, she would take my email address and we would be contacted after the flight via email with an offer of compensation. The flight manager apologised for the failure of the systems and said that she understood how disappointed and inconvenienced we were by the equipment failure – this was the first apology received. As of now, 21 April, five days after the flight no contact has been made to my email address. I would like to point out that all power to the systems in our row of three seats was off. As a result; a) Obviously, we had no access to any of the ‘provided’ films or other entertainment/information. b) As we had no power to the row of seats it was not possible to ‘call’ an attendant; so our contact was achieved by repeatedly moving through the cabin to find an attendant. c) We had no lights to read from. This was a problem as the passenger in the window seat was trying to sleep so had shut the window. This passenger was woken up and provided with an eye mask and then opened the window so that it was just possible to read, but with difficulty. d) There was no power to charge phones – so whilst I was able to watch my phone for a while, this became impossible later in the flight. e) There was no air ventilation from above and at times the space was very stuffy and uncomfortable because of this. We would also like to point out the poor communication with flight attendants. Until the ‘flight manager’ spoke to us three hours into the flight none of the attendants had apologised or shown any sympathy. I felt like I was an inconvenience to the attendant and found their manner short and off-hand. We did appreciate the apology of the ‘flight manager’ and the offer to reach out and contact us after the flight – it is a shame that this did not actually happen. We remain very disappointed in the lack of facilities available to us on the flight and the manner in which our concerns were dealt with by staff. It was without doubt the worst long haul flight we have experienced in many years of travelling.

Theft, damage and non-existent customer service I flew with Thai Airways in Nov 2022. My luggage went missing but was returned to my address about a week later. The case had been broken into and something stolen. I sent photos and flight details as requested. Since then they have blanked all efforts to get any compensation. 15 months later, 20 plus emails and still nothing. This airline is happy for property to be damaged and people's belongings to be stolen. Don't fly with them. Customer service is so shocking it barely exists.

Waited 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.

Miserable experience I was looking forward to flying Thai Airlines. Flight wasn't cheap one way £995 LHR however, it was 13hrs straight through to london no changes brilliant. Oh dear, not so brilliant. Horrible Horrible where to begin. Seating can you make it any smaller, food order vegetarian safe side bad bad choice disgusting. Cabin cold why do you want to freeze your passengers on 13hour flight. Staff surley as cold as the cabin temperature. Service definitely not with a smile. Never fly this airline again,NO!!! rather extract my back teeth.

No 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.
