A replacement Boeing 787-800 registration HS-TQD reached Brisbane with a delay of 4 hours.
A passenger reported early into the flight rythmic and recurring vibrations were quite noticeable. About an hour into the flight the aircraft returned to Bangkok, no information was provided by the flight crew. Cabin crew hinted however, that they suspected a bird strike on departure from Bangkok. The passenger observed another passenger, obviously a company maintenance engineer travelling as passenger, watching the right hand engine (Trent 1000) from the cabin windows and then spending a lot of time in the cockpit.
