Platinum requires 80,000 QM flown in THAI Royal First / Royal Silk (J/F) in each of two consecutive 12-month periods — the per-period figure is shown. Gold alternative: 40 international THAI segments in 12 months. Own-metal earning is the full published booking-class chart (26 of 26 letters resolved), with a 500-mile minimum credit on sectors below 500 miles. NB booking class A moved from Royal First (200%) to Premium Economy (110%) for flights flown on or after 1 July 2026 — the 110% rate is the one applied here; Thai's own page still displays the superseded First row, and Voyager and ShebaMiles both still rate A as First on Thai metal. Verified at thaiairways.com, Aug 2026. The Q-mile arithmetic is now PUBLISHED (Program Conditions page, verbatim, 9 Aug 2026): 'Qualifying miles are defined as actual miles flown, subject to paid fare, on THAI and Star Alliance operated flights, and include applicable class of service Bonus Miles' — the same-number reading of the partner charts is confirmed at Primary grade (gap TG-G2 closed); promotional miles and non-Star partner miles are excluded. The Gold 40-sector alternative is THAI-metal only, excluding T/K/S/G/V/W/L classes; Silver also reachable at 15,000 QM over 24 rolling months, Gold at 80,000 over 24. Asiana accrual ends for flights after 15 Oct 2026 (encoded as a dated rule window).
