This year, three of Thai's Airbus A330-300 are in retrofit program which is a big upgrade in Royal Silk class cabin (Thompson Vantage II full-flat bed).
In july 2018, the first retrofitted A330, HS-TEN, was in service for Krabi (TG249/250) and Narita (TG640/641)
The dedicated check-in lane for Royal Silk passengers at Row A, which connect to the Fast Tract Security Check and Passport check
I also visit Royal Orchid Spa, and Royal Orchid Lounge which are complementary.
The bus gate was used as the plane, returned from Krabi, was parked at domestic gate
The code for retrofitted A330 is "33R"

Hi Num_Plus, thanks for sharing this first report with us! The new TG A333 J cabins look great, certainly much better than the previous outdated cabins. The seat seems perfect for a flight of this length. Looking forward to future reports.
Welcome to Flight-Report!
Hi Num_Plus. Can you let me know if this seat was fully flat, or was it flat at an angle? Also, was there WiFi connectivity? Thanks!
Full flat 180 degree.
Wifi is planned to be available in the future. ? The flight attendant had told me.
Man.... what business class product DOESN'T TG have on some member of its fleet. Of course, I suppose the same could be said of TG's fleet strategy or lack thereof.
Still, a significant product upgrade, especially on the short and mid-range routes TG typically uses these birds on. Catering looks okay, if a little light in contents. How did it taste?
Thanks for an interesting look at how Thai is updating... and welcome to the site!
Thanks for sharing your experience on TG's new 33R! The seat is certainly a huge upgrade over the Angled-Flat seats on their non retrofitted A330s. Are the seats wide enough for your shoulders? Hope to see more of your reports, and welcome to flight-report.com! ;-)
