Finally... a glimmer of hope
For the past few months, things seem to be getting better at Thai. The staff are more friendly as well. No major problems on flights either, but I wish they would make their Internet check-in service a bit easier to use - at least now they've moved the Internet check-in counter to the first booth in Row J.
Today I flew on TG 606 to Hong Kong. The aircraft was a nice 777-300, with entertainment systems in economy class as well.
The food hasn't gotten any better, but it hasn't gotten worse either - and still they have this strange practice of working from the middle towards the ends on Eastbound flights, and from the ends towards the middle on Westbound flights when serving food. Very irritating for many ROP members, though as it happens this time I was sitting right in the middle so I got served first.
The staff were all very friendly - smiling, courteous, an absolute pleasure for a change. I spent half the flight watching one particular stewardess, Ms. Subhawadee C, serve my row, always with a smile that used to be the standard of Thai and Singapore Airlines, and she was very efficient as well. I tried to take a photo but the idiot next to me complained that I was using my mobile phone... duh, like I can actually make calls from 10,000 meters in the air...
Also, one of the stewards, Mr Theparit Y, also took time to speak to passengers and served everyone with a smile as well.
I think, for a change, the entire crew of TG 606 on Oct. 22, 2007 must be commended - now if the rest of the TG crews would only follow this wonderful example...
By the way, the flight was about 98% full - even more credit to the crew because they had to work much harder.
