Thai will be discontinuing BKK-LAX nonstops and will instead restart the old routing of BKK-KIX-LAX from March 31, 2009 forward amid cost-cutting measures. This new routing will use the Boeing 777-200ER, for its lower cost. The new flight numbers assigned to this route are TG797 & TG796 (LAX-KIX-BKK & BKK-KIX-LAX, respectively), and departure times will revert back to the old routing schedule: a midday departure from LAX and an early morning departure from BKK.
Thai Airways has announced that it is trying to sell its fleet of four Airbus A340-500 aircraft, but has not had any luck in doing so due to the current economic crisis and the generally weak market for an aircraft which consumes so much fuel.

Seems that may be correct. At least the airfare is lower than before 
Love the Pics Bam 
Seems Thai Air still has flights on the books NON STOP to BKK from LAX and that they will be using Airbus 340-500 as of now and thru year end of 2009
