Thai Airways Business Class

Airline overview

Thai Airways Royal Silk business class is famous for Thai hospitality — the gracious wai greeting and attentive service. Bangkok's Royal Silk Lounge offers complimentary Thai spa treatments.

The business class experience

Thai Airways Royal Silk features Lie-flat staggered with direct aisle access (787). Seat width is 22 inches and fully extended bed length is 78 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Thai Airways's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.

In-flight entertainment is delivered via 17-inch touchscreen. Dining on Thai Airways: Thai and international cuisine, Tom Yum soup in the sky. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 30kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.

Lounges and ground experience

At the home hub: Royal Silk Lounge (BKK) — famed Thai spa treatments. At other airports worldwide: Star Alliance partner lounges worldwide. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.

On the ground at departure, Thai Airways business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.

What travelers say

“Thai hospitality is unmatched. The spa at Bangkok lounge is a unique perk. Food is authentic and delicious. 787 product is significantly improved. Great value for Southeast Asia.”
