I think I'd put more weight on the longer-running Skytrax Awards.

 

Who gave Bangkok Airways at the Best Regional Airline in the World, and Best Regional Airline in Asia, for 2017  ...  which gives Thai Smile something to aim for. 

i will give them "the most cramped airline in the world" award.   I have flown many times with many different airlines but the return trip bkk to macao was my worst experience of my life.  but probably not a bad airline for people under 170cm tall.

"The event took place at the Thai Airways International head office in Bangkok." Says it all. How can  TripAdvisor demean itself with this sort of corruption.

Spend a modest extra amount of money and fly their premium class like I do (190+ cm here).  It really is worth it, not just for the leg room but also for the priority boarding, meal, use of the lounge at your departing airport, extra baggage allowance.

A little off topic, BUT  as a budget airline why are they allowed to operate from BKK  ??   all others were moved to DMK,,   all budget airlines for connections have to run the gauntlet from DM to BKK,   Maybe about time Air Asia got a UK long haul slot from DM.

As far as the award goes B Airways got high marks but it has only wealthy customers, as it is over priced and most services are a monopoly.     Thai Smile is good but Air Asia is a nicer airline  staff wise.

Are you certain that they had to go?

ThaiSmile operated from both airports for a while and has then withdrawn from DMK.
