TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers considering flights from London to Bangkok express varying preferences among EVA Air, Thai Airways, and Oman Air. Many recommend EVA Air for its comfort and consistent service, noting that Economy Plus offers a great experience. Thai Airways is also favored for direct flights, with some passengers asserting it is a reputable carrier despite mixed reviews in recent years. Oman Air is seen as a good alternative for those who prefer a break with a single stopover in Muscat.

If you like a break to stretch your legs and breath normal air, then Oman is a good option. I've done their route twice and it's have no qualms booking them again.

If you prefer to do the long haul and get it over with, I'd say EVA is definitely the better option at the moment

Oman Air 👌 it's nice to have a little stop half way, have a break and stretch your legs. 11 or 12 hours or whatever is, is a long time to be sat on the same plane 😩

If you want direct them Eva. If you prefer the journey broken a bit then Oman are very good and you can get lounge access with showers for not much money. If you've got the time maybe even do a day in Muscat on an extended layover if you can

Thai if you go direct . There’s a lot of Thai bashing and it will never stop. Thai airways is a fine carrier. Had a great flight at the end of May and will fly again in mid October

Are you sure the EVA flight isn't just a codeshare on Thai airways. It's generally illegal for airlines to have flights between 2 countries that they aren't based in and EVA is in Taiwan.

Eva Air flys from Taiwan to London Heathrow via Bangkok & return with a crew change @ Bangkok before the same plane continues the journey.

Definitely not a codeshare & both airlines use their own liveried aircraft.

Eva Air are a far better service than Thai Airways, I’ve flown both airlines many times but will always choose Eva Air when possible.
