The crew just flew the 744 in, being sent back on the same aircraft. The route is normally a 777, the 744 was used as a one off replacement that day.
The Thai 777s have no first class, all passengers had business class tickets, the 744 has 50 business class seats. The 777 has 42 business class seats. The 744 should have has 8 business class and the 14 first class seats empty after accommodating all of the paid passengers.
