| Brand strength (Thailand) | 10/10 |
Thai Airways’s checked-baggage baseline is 30 kg. On Thai migrant-worker corridors Thai Airways adds +10 kg above the standard allowance. Thai Airways also runs Hajj/Umrah charters and bundles for Thai pilgrims, often with extra baggage and zamzam dispensations.
The +10 kg uplift has boundaries. We record it for labour corridors: it is a route-and-fare policy rather than an entitlement on every ticket. Promotional fares frequently sit outside it, it applies to hold baggage only, and it usually requires documentation the carrier specifies. Confirm at ticketing and have it noted on the ticket itself.
Thai Airways network & booking
Thai Airways’s network in our catalogue covers 47 corridors, based at Bangkok (BKK), Phuket (HKT), Chiang Mai (CNX), Hat Yai (HDY), Kathmandu (KTM), Yangon (RGN) and Vientiane (VTE). Cached fares across them run from ฿1,764 (BKK–HKT) to ฿27,524 (BKK–TLV).
In this catalogue Thai Airways’s network reaches 42 destinations across 29 countries — Australia, Bahrain, Cambodia, China, France and Germany. Most corridors serve GCC labour & Muslim pilgrims, Buddhist pilgrims, Thai diaspora / VFR and ASEAN & regional leisure travellers. All fares are shown in Thai baht (THB); compare live prices and schedules for each city pair on the route pages, and infant fares run about 10% of the adult fare. The lowest fare in our cache across this network is about ฿3,173 on BKK-VTE — prices move with season, so check live fares before booking.
Routing through a hub adds reach and a failure point at once. Connecting at Bangkok (BKK), Phuket (HKT), Chiang Mai (CNX), Hat Yai (HDY), Kathmandu (KTM), Yangon (RGN) and Vientiane (VTE) widens the destinations available but inserts one more place the plan can break. The upside is that a hub is where the airline keeps aircraft, crew and operations staff, so recovery is faster than at an outstation it touches once a day. If you must connect, connecting at the carrier’s own base is usually the safer choice.
Passenger rights & compensation
Thai Airways appears on 47 corridors in our catalogue. Thai Airways is registered in Thailand and answers primarily to Thailand CAAT. The common misreading is that rights travel with the airline. In practice they change first with the country the flight departs from.
Thai Airways passenger protection is governed by Thailand CAAT — covering care, rerouting and refunds for cancellations/long delays. There is no fixed EU261-style cash schedule; check the regulator’s official terms before filing.
Collect evidence from day one. Whichever frame applies, the burden of proof sits with the passenger. Keep every boarding pass, the airline’s own delay notice or message, receipts for food and accommodation while you waited, and the actual arrival time against the scheduled one. Most rejected claims fail not because there was no right but because nothing documented what actually happened when.
Dedicated Hajj/Umrah charters sit outside this frame. This carrier operates pilgrim charters, and those are contracted through the Hajj board and licensed operators — in Thailand’s case the Chularatchamontri Office. The passenger’s counterparty is not the airline directly, so the first claim path is the operator and the board rather than the aviation regulator, and automated claim services built for scheduled IATA flights generally will not take a charter case.
How Thai Airways fits travellers
Thai Airways appears on 47 corridors in our catalogue. Thai Airways’s corridors in our catalogue distribute across passenger clusters as: ASEAN & regional leisure (21), Thai diaspora / VFR (13), GCC labour & Muslim pilgrims (10), Buddhist pilgrims (3), with 19 flagged as labour/migrant corridors. The split is computed from our own route data, not from the airline’s marketing.
Thai Airways’s catalogued routes matter most to the GCC labour & Muslim pilgrims, Buddhist pilgrims, Thai diaspora / VFR and ASEAN & regional leisure segment(s). Its Bangkok (BKK), Phuket (HKT), Chiang Mai (CNX), Hat Yai (HDY), Kathmandu (KTM), Yangon (RGN), Vientiane (VTE) hub(s) are the main transit points. Compare schedules, baggage and fares against other carriers on the route pages before booking.
Your rights do not change with the cluster you fall into. The segmentation on this page is an editorial tool for deciding what to explain where. It is not a fare class and it has no legal effect. Two passengers on the same flight who paid different prices for different reasons hold identical statutory rights. What actually changes them is the departure country, the carrier’s nationality and whether the flight is scheduled or chartered.

Thai Airways in our fare record
Across 315 weekly fare captures on corridors Thai Airways serves, the code TG appears as the carrier holding the low 3 times — 1%. The cheapest such reading was ฿5,923 on BKK–RGN in week 2026-W23. Those corridors reach 42 destinations in 29 countries.
Why a weekly cadence misses promotions. We capture once a week per corridor, so a promotion that opens and closes inside a few days can go unrecorded entirely. That means this series systematically under-counts how often exceptional lows occur. Read it as a picture of price level, not as a deal-catching instrument.
Where this carrier holds the low most often. BKK–RGN (3×). On those corridors Thai Airways is the reference price to beat. Elsewhere in the network the low falls to other carriers more often, which is why checking two or three airlines before booking still pays even when you already intend to fly this one.
What this measures, and what it does not. We capture each corridor’s lowest fare once a week and record which carrier code that value was attached to. The 1% figure therefore says how often this airline surfaced as the cheapest option in the window we observed. It does not say whether the airline is expensive or cheap on average, and it says nothing about what the others charged that week. A low share is not evidence of a high price.
FAQ
How many routes does Thai Airways fly in the SiamFlights catalogue?
Thai Airways (TG) serves 47 routes relevant to travellers from Thailand in our catalogue.
What is Thai Airways’s checked-baggage allowance?
A 30 kg baseline, plus +10 kg on migrant-worker corridors. Always confirm on the official site before travel.
Does Thai Airways serve Hajj/Umrah pilgrims?
Yes. Thai Airways offers Hajj/Umrah charters and bundles with baggage and zamzam dispensations for Thai pilgrims.
What alliance is Thai Airways in?
Thai Airways is a member of Star Alliance.
Which regulator oversees Thai Airways?
Thailand CAAT, by country of registration. But passenger rights are set first by the country the flight departs from — anything leaving Thailand sits with Thailand CAAT.
Do Thai Airways Hajj charters carry the same rights as scheduled tickets?
No. Charters are contracted through the Hajj board and licensed operators — in Thailand’s case the Chularatchamontri Office — so the first claim path is the operator, not the aviation regulator.
Does the Thai Airways infant fare include a seat?
No. The roughly 10% rate applies to a lap infant with no seat of its own. A separate seat makes it a child fare, priced as a share of the full fare.
Is the low-fare column Thai Airways’s own price?
No. It is the cheapest fare our cache recorded on that corridor across every carrier serving it. On a multi-carrier route the low may belong to a competitor.
