Hello from Italy, as I just kicked off the return portion of my review trip to Bangkok! For the next segment of my trip, I flew Thai Airways’ Boeing 787-9 Royal Silk business class on the 11hr30min flight from Bangkok (BKK) to Milan (MXP).
While I flew Thai Airways’ 777 first class last year, my last long haul flight on Thai Airways was pre-pandemic. I must admit, I was absolutely delighted by the experience, and this has to be one of the most underrated business class products out there.
The hard product was nothing special (and Thai Airways has quite some hard product inconsistency in its fleet), but the soft product was exceptional, with warm and attentive service, and incredibly tasty food, plus good drinks. I’d fly Thai Airways again in a heartbeat!
In this post I’d like to share some initial thoughts, and then I’ll have a full review upon returning home.

If you want to purchase Wi-Fi without data caps, you can purchase a surfing pass for $14.99, or a streaming pass for $39.99. I purchased the former, because I found the price difference to be surprisingly big, and on top of that, I rarely find that “streaming” packages actually live up to what’s promised, at least with Panasonic. So for $15, I thought that was good pricing (of course I’d prefer free, but…).
On top of that, there was a decent selection of movies and TV shows — it was far from the best in the industry, but was sufficient.
