About Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus
Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus is a travel loyalty program from Thai Airways, recorded in miles. The value of a travel reward depends on the itinerary, cabin, availability, and taxes or fees attached to the award. A points balance by itself does not determine which seats or rewards are available.
The catalog associates Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus with Thai Airways International.
Royal Orchid Plus status is earned on Qualifying Miles flown on Thai and Star Alliance carriers, over 12 months or a longer 24-month window. Silver and Gold count miles on any fare; Platinum needs 80,000 miles in Royal First or Royal Silk on Thai, in each of two 12-month periods. Thai is a Star Alliance member, so Gold and Platinum are Star Alliance Gold. New qualification rules planned for 5 August 2026 were postponed; the current rules still apply.

How to calculate your Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus points value
Multiply your balance by 1 and divide by 100 to get the estimated US-dollar value. For example, 50,000 × 1 ÷ 100 = $500.00. The calculator then multiplies that dollar estimate by the selected currency’s units-per-dollar rate. Changing currency changes the display, not the underlying value of your rewards.
Check the value of an actual redemption
Subtract the taxes and fees you would pay on the award from the comparable cash price, then divide by the points required. Multiply the result by 100 to express it in cents per point. For a $500 booking with $50 in award fees costing 25,000 points, the redemption returns 1.8 cents per point. Compare that result with the 1-cent estimate for Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus, while considering the flexibility and cancellation terms of the booking.
What this calculator does—and what to check
This tool estimates redemption purchasing power. It does not redeem, transfer, sell, or exchange miles. Reward pricing, expiration rules, eligibility, and redemption options are set by the program; check the current terms before using your rewards. A published average can be useful for comparing an award with a cash purchase, but your particular redemption can be worth more or less.
Currency conversions use ECB reference exchange rates via Frankfurter, dated 2026-10-13. Bank and card-provider fees or exchange spreads are not included.
