    Exact native 78W numbered seat diagram: every row, column, partial row, skipped number and nearest labelled service symbol independently reviewed. Schematic is not a window engineering grid or calibrated geometry. The native drawing itself shows outward angled single-seat orientation; the geometry hint describes these drawn angles and does not identify hardware or certify bed operation.

    Preferred selection may be chargeable; exit passengers require eligibility including age 15 minimum and unaccompanied minors aged 5–17 excluded, counter verification. Selection and eligibility alone do not alter comfort ratings.

    General policy only. No seat-specific regulated exit-seat legend is supplied by this native chart; assignments are not inferred from door proximity or cabin-zone colours.

How this map was built

Official THAI 78W native diagram transcribed by exact numbered seat positions, including partial rows and skipped numbering. Every seat evaluated within its sold cabin; ordinary position, premium cabin amenities, preferred-selection charges and exit eligibility are not comfort upgrades. Native service-bank cautions are categorical, qualified and unmeasured; no inference across doors, nearer unknown blocks or uncalibrated gaps. No diagram window-alignment warning is present: outboard seats remain unknown; engineering overlays disabled. No row-specific pitch, recline limitation, fixed-armrest width loss, cold-door effect or storage restriction is inferred. Numeric dimensions and hardware are withheld where the current specification table cannot be linked consistently to this exact native drawing; source ledger retains specifications separately. Individually identified native service banks are reviewed on both sides. Only the nearest occupied chair block without an intervening door, occupied chair row or nearer unidentified block receives a qualified caution. Skipped row numbers do not imply a physical empty row. The native bank ledger records inclusions and exclusions; furniture anchors do not certify their physical ordering. The native chart labels exit doors but provides no seat-specific legend identifying regulated exit seats. General airline exit eligibility is disclosed at source/config level; exact restricted-seat assignments require airline confirmation and are not invented from door proximity or zone colours. Native same-band lateral adjacency is also evaluated:61DEF directly borders the labelled right lavatory. The unlabelled centre blocks behind 61 do not interrupt that lateral bank relation and do not generate another warning.
