On the MEL ~ BKK ~ MEL flights, THAI use B777-200ER..Nice plane. WIll
be returning from BKK next Tuesday on TG999 in C  class.   Seats in C
class are the 170 degree lie flat seats..These seats are better than
the ones used in the A340-600.

Y class seats have their own video screens with movie on demand.

Not all B777 have  been upgraded..The B777-300 series that THAI use
BKK ~ TPE ~ ICN mostly have later seat colours etc., but, not video
screens.

So, only B777-200ER are all new within the past 12 months. THAI has
six of these planes at present.  My THAI flights numbering 89 and 90
coming up in next couple of days...All these done since June, 2004

All the best..................Peter

Yeah ... should do.  But the pages haven't been updated since Dec 2006 on
the Thai versoin.  The Aussie version is a bit fresher, but not very
informative.
Looks like the MEL-BKK route is using the 777-200ER's and they are
definately newer fitout.

SeatGuru suggests that:
 "Personal televisions with Audio and Video on Demand are available at every
seat First and Business Class seat. Overhead video monitors are available in
Economy Class."
