THAI AIRWAYS IS BACK! 787-8 Economy Class Review (Bangkok to Chengdu)

After years of financial struggles, restructuring and uncertainty, Thai Airways is trying to rebuild its reputation. But what is it actually like to fly with them in 2026? In this video, I take a Thai Airways Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner from Bangkok to Chengdu in Economy Class to see whether the airline's comeback is real. I'll show you the check-in process, boarding experience, seat, legroom, inflight entertainment, food, service and overall experience from start to finish. Has Thai Airways returned to its former glory, or does it still have work to do? -- Support the Channel -- If you've enjoyed this video and would like to support future flight reviews and travel content, you can buy me a coffee via PayPal.
