Question Thai Airlines: 777s for short haul

Hey

When I was in Thailand last year I took a flight to Phuket from Bangkok - I was hoping for something 'different' - like a twin turbo prop - you know, low altitude, get too see some of the countryside on the way down etc. I couldnt believe they put us on a 777 for this 1 hour flight! Is this normal? It screams to me of being very inefficient. Now I dont know maybe this is the done thing in some places - I guess if they are doing it it must be sensible. On the return flight it was a 777 again.

I'd be interested to hear.....

Cheers
