It has been more than 5 years since my last flight with THAI in first class so I was really looking forward to it. I used 195,000 SAS miles for this trip flying first class on the outbound from London Heathrow Airport to Bangkok with THAI and business class on the inbound (with EVA Air). Service was exceptional on this flight and the staff all seemed enthusiastic. Dining was also very good with the usual caviar and champagne. Sadly, wifi was not complimentary. Overall, a great flight ;)

Great vlog! I always enjoy the great food they offer to first class pax. Going to the SIA lounge is a must! UA lounges are just mediocre. BA Concorde Lounge is excellent.

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Thanks! Pre-pandemic, first class passengers could pre-order meal including lobster thermidor even if flying to Bangkok. Now, it´s only available for those departing from BKK. I love the ala carte dining in the Concorde Room ;)

[@AmbientWalking]

Wow! First class! A dream!

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Yes, I was glad I could redeem my miles and use it for this first class flight. I only paid about 200 USD in taxes 👍

[@EddieManning]

I'll be on this flight in business class later this month (second time this year). Biz class on Thai is excellent in my experience. About time they ditched the masks and gloves though. Crew always super friendly and efficient though. Catering top notch.

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

I’ve also flown Thai business class and found the seats and food great, and the crew friendly. On my recent EVA Airways (business) and Philippine Airlines (economy) flight , the crew were still using masks and gloves. It could be an Asia thing.

[@swulabs]

Fascinating. Philippine airlines also uses Payot products in their business class kit

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Yes, I think I saw a video of a PAL business class flight review here on youtube. PAL used to offer L´Occitane if I am not mistaken.

[@clausstimpfig3803]

no first class

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

@@clausstimpfig3803 I think Philippine Airlines has only offered business class as the highest cabin ;)

[@manuelm7614]

Booking first class on Thai Air is risky. The royal family has absolute priority, with no advance reservation required, even if they show up a few minutes before takeoff (it's a large group of hundreds of Thais, not just royalties). If there are no first class seats available, Thai Air kick out as many first class passengers as necessary to make room. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. You're never sure your first class seat is guaranteed until after takeoff.

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

I actually flew with a member of the Royal Family from Tokyo to Bangkok in THAI first class in 2018. I guess I got lucky as it was a small group and I believe those who booked in F class stayed in the first cabin. I was moved from my original seat 1A to 1K then to 3K. Two of the 9 seats in F class were not occupied. Felt lucky to have flown first class on that flight ;) Thanks for watching!

[@erinayasukawa9017]

Wow.....❤ lyxig riktig 🎉❤

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Tack, det är det! Jag berättar detaljer nästa gång. Kram ;)

[@EddieManning]

Like the lounge hopper experience. I've been into Singapore biz, United club and Lufthsnsa at LHR T2 and for me, United is best IMO. Sing first probably the best by looks of your film.

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

I also think United is the best business class lounge in LHR T2. It is huge with a bar and the food offering is very good. The Singapore First Lounge is/feels exclusive and has ala carte dining. Thanks for watching.

[@SW-11]

Running out a meal selection is a bit cheap. Great log!

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

I know. But in fairness, 7/8 passengers in first class were Asians so I guess all those before me were able to get their desired meal. I was the last one to be asked.

[@beverleyferguson8942]

How wonderful a train to the airport! We here in Melbourne Australia have been pushing for a train service to our one & only airport for over 50 years. Still hasn’t happened 😂😂

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Yes, it is very convenient. Sad to hear it is not the same way in Melbourne. I have taken the train from Sydney Airport to the city at least twice in the past and it was a breeze.

[@davidlogan4329]

Don't expect much from Australian infrastructure. It's way below ther level of many other places, sadly.

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

@@davidlogan4329 Sad to know that. Infrastructure projects really are essential especially in big cities.

[@bar10ml44]

There are now 3 options. Two train services and the tube.

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

@@bar10ml44 Glad to know that ;)

[@tjittekamminga5170]

the cabin lack an orchid next to the TV!!

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Yes, I remember they used to have orchids next to the TV pre-pandemic. The orchids in the lavatory are gone too.

[@grahamnancledra7036]

To me it looks like an ordinary long distance Business class seat and set up with a few extra's thrown in. I wouldn't pay the extra over business. Where there any extra's offered to get to Heathrow or away from BKK to your destination in Bangkok? There must be something better than business.

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Hi. I actually redeemed my SAS miles for this first class flight. I thought it was very good value rather than flying in business class. I started from Stockholm so I flew Brussels Airlines business class to Brussels then to LHR, and my final destination was BKK. There was no free chauffeur like Emirates though.

[@stevenmathers6661]

I have a strong tie to Thai airways - but these first class seats give an impression of white plastic boxes. Saddened that it's not better.

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

I have flown once on THAI A380 in first class and really liked the first class seats. It is a different story on their B777s and B747 sadly.

In Thailand masks are still required

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

I noticed that. We took the Bangkok airport rail link upon arriving in Bangkok and noticed that the locals were still wearing them.

[@LonglingEriksen]

so not true, but they have used it for the last 30 years. Nothing to do with the C virus

[@porsche187]

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

It was a chocolate box containing 4 pieces of pralines, one of which is exclusively made for THAI Airways.

Nice review though in my opinion, watching a review with voice commentary is so much more enjoyable. Reading is not as interesting to me. I sub to Noel Phillips, Non Stop Dan, Josh Cahill to name a few ( I gave up on Sam) and i find they always have some interesting anecdote along the way. Just an idea.

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Thanks, I appreciate it. I have thought of that many times but my speaking skills still need to be polished ;) Hopefully soon!

[@jean-pierrevleminckx6298]

Long to get there paying big for a first class walking a lot wow

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

It is, unfortunately. In Bangkok though, Thai offers buggy service to their first class passengers which is a big plus.

[@willieho3056]

Singapore air lounge in Hong Kong is below average, this is is ok

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Yes, I think it is because London Heathrow is a really big market for them and competition is tough in Europe.

[@AusFlyers]

It looks like you wanted to teabag your neighbour on the flight 😊

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

I had to google the meaning of teabag 😉 Answer is ”No”

[@cully5869]

paying for wi-fi in 1st class? Seriously?😮

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Lufthansa charges their first class passengers for use of wifi when I flew with them last time so I guess more and more will follow, sadly.

[@richardmcrandal6696]

No wifi free...shocking

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

In fairness, I think Lufthansa has never offered free wifi to it’s first class passengers (I’ve flown with them a few times). Qatar Airways had a free wifi voucher in first class when I flew with them last time in 2016 although it could be gone too.

[@globalnomad450]

It’s so typical of Asian carriers to run out of meal choices. As a first class pax this should not happen. Korean always ran out of things. That’s what you pay the money for….sadly Thai first class just doesn’t make it compared to other carriers like EK or QR!

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Sadly it is true even with European airlines (I’ve experienced that a few times on Turkish Airlines). I think Thai really has a problem in competing with the likes of Emirates and Qatar Airways who offer the best in the industry.

[@1bazbo]

1st class should get wi-fi

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

@@1bazbo Yes, I agree. They used to give wifi vouchers before but not anymore. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

[@sashaqueenie]

My gosh! I am shocked that wifi is NOT complimentary. Yikes.

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

I know, but as I have mentioned on other comments, Lufthansa first class passengers do not get free wifi either. I have flown with them a few times in the past.

[@poussinhamzah4013]

The lounge does not look great for first class...seems a bit crowded, no? The nasi lemak looks great though 😊. Making you pay for Wifi in first class seems very niggardly....

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

The Singapore Air First class lounge was a bit crowded that day, an SQ flight was cancelled thus some overcrowding. Otherwise, it is less people. Pre-pandemic I think they offered a wifi voucher.

[@davidlogan4329]

The food didn't look much better than Business Class.

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

I think the only plus in dining when flying THAI first class is you get caviar 😉 They used to offer pre-booked meals in THAI first class including lobster thermidor but they have now limited it for departures from Bangkok.

[@clausstimpfig3803]

that food was first and not primitive businessclass. The caviar the lobster and that vintage champagne

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

@@clausstimpfig3803 Those three things as you said really make the difference: caviar, lobster and vintage champagne ;)

Oh dear. Travelling First and you end up in a United Lounge. So cheap.

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Actually, I just visited the United Lounge for less than 10 minutes, same as the Air Canada Lounge. I stayed most of the time in the Singapore Airlines First Class Lounge which is the best lounge to visit when flying in THAI first class, in my opinion.

[@leorabelo3209]

FA still wearing a mask?

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Yes they are. It must be something required of them. In Bangkok when we took the trains, more than 50% were wearing face masks.

[@willieho3056]

As compare Singapore first class, this is not up the the par .

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

I understand. I have only flown once with SQ suites and I loved it, SQ is on another level. My favorite though is still Emirates First class on the A380 where you get to shower in the sky ;)

[@pacmanc8103]

@@TheFilipinoTravelerThe lavatory facilities on Emirates A380s is the best feature of Emirates First Class, to me. I find the cabin itself a bit full of suites - 14, I believe. The aisle seats (2k for me) feel a little confining because of the curvature of the fuselage, particularly with the doors closed. The Arabic mezze is always top notch and some of their main courses are very nice. This cabin doesn’t appear particularly dated, to me, but maybe a bit bland. At least it’s light and the seats look very comfortable. I like the fact that the seats are parallel, unlike the reverse herringbone that British Airways uses. The footwells aren’t narrow on BA, but these appear even wider. All in all, I like the lay out, but doors would be nice - like Saudia’s suites, which are very similar to this but with sliding doors. The food to me looked OK, but I’m not really a fan of caviar. The steak main course looked like there was something missing. From the menu description, I probably would have selected the chicken Kiev. The dessert and cheese looked pretty good - a sample of each would have been my choice.😉 Nice review - I flew Thai first class from NRT to Bangkok years ago when the seats were large recliners with footrests (on a 747, I think) and they didn’t have TVs. Today, it’s much nicer (although the catering is less extravagant).

[@lando3655]

Looks super dated. I know Thai are not cheap either. Until they update I wouldn’t be interested

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

I think their cabins have not been refurbished lately the way Emirates, Qatar Airways and others have done. For the price I paid (I redeemed miles) it was worth it.

[@keving331]

Looks pretty bad. As many airlines quit “First Class” service, some like Thai keep it going but dumb it down so that it’s the same as or worse than some airlines’ business class (QR, EK, SQ, EY) - just unnecessarily large seat space and a higher fare cost than J-class. And service in rubber gloves? Has nobody told the crew that covid ended two years ago?

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

Agree that QR´s Q suites is one of the best if not the best business class out there. For what I paid for in first class (I redeemed SAS miles plus about 200 USD, it was very much worth it :) Last week, we flew PAL from BKK-MNL and some of the crew were still using rubber gloves. Very different from what we have in Europe ...

[@willylao5430]

Quit complaining! Why, do you have money to fly First Class!!? Maybe you're just envious.

[@VickyViktoriia-tm8zn]

Rubber gloves are used even in high-class restaurants, and should be used in sushi restaurants, too!

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

@@VickyViktoriia-tm8zn I guess using rubber gloves on planes will be here for a few more months if not years.

[@TheFilipinoTraveler]

I considered flying with Lufthansa first class too but since they only release award space 14 days in advance to other partner airlines, I ended up booking the last F award seat on THAI. Still a good redemption in my opinion.
