Think they went bankrupt but i managed to get refund as was atol protected

They are answering emails and now have schedule from 1 st Nov. They just canx October schedule

They are in the first stage of reorganization bankruptcy, with the court deciding on their reorganization plan with all their major creditors. The government has already sold their shares so they can get rid of the union. Well, they transferred the shares to another entity with close government relations. They were supposed to start flying again on Aug. 1st, but have now set a new date in October. One thing that really affects expats is that Thai Airways holds all the first class international airmail contracts going out of Thailand with the post office. With no planes flying, well lots of you have experienced the new normal of trying to send mail out of Thailand.

chapter 11, Airline belly up.

chapter 11

Wouldn't touch thai air with a barge pole . Goverment owns most of the shares , they owe money to a few countries they cant even fly too as they will keep their plane , they were stuck in Germany the other week for 8 hours + because they couldn't pay for their fuel.

Tickets are still valid and can be exchanged when flights resume. They are merely reorganising not bankrupt.

in the middle of insolvency procedures , flights are operated, but refunds may be slow or not processed at all

Gone bust??

As I understand it they filed for bankruptcy and want to restart in a new company with restructured debts. They owe your friends money/flights, but as a result of this procedure nobody gets anything at the moment. I doubt refunds will ever happen, best they can hope for seems to be they will respect they still owe people the flight. They said before they will, but a Thai official coming back on his word would not be the first time.

It has been said they will refund but they will be delayed by the ongoing legal proceedings.

I think the hearing started on the 17th but won't be concluded by then. It's been filed in various countries also not just Thailand.

Did you try calling them?
