There is currently six Boeing 777-300s in Thai Airways' fleet, and only one of them is in this configuration, the other five is scheduled to be converted to this configuraiton later in 2008.
Business class is configured in a 2x3x2 layout, using EADS Sogerma Evolys design. Unfortunately, Thai decided to fit three across seats in the middle rows, changing from the very nice layout in their own 777-200 (version 77E1)'s pair of seats. This means that there is a middle seat, the least desirable Business class seat on this plane. If both aisle seats are in the the sleeper position, the middle passenger will have to climb a bit to get to the aisle.AVOD (Audio Video On Demand) is available for every Business class seat, as well as 110VAC universal power outlet.
Economy class seats are relatively wide at 18 inches. However, legroom is average to slightly above average at 31-34 inches, with 31-44 DEF and 31-43 HJK the most roomy. AVOD is also available for every seat in coach.
