Hi,
robbie1906,
".. on the way back we was on a thai international branded 747 which had been updated with the inflight entertainment but not the thai airways branding on the outside of the plane,..."
That's odd as Thai does NOT have any "wet" leased B747's in their fleet.. All of their B747's are current fleet..
What I *suspect* you got was their Star Alliance livery painted plane.. HS-TGW, which is a mostly white exterior with the Star Alliance logo in the tail and Thai's name in small print below the forward cabin section..
This is one of their older B747's and is named "Visuthakasatriya"

Phillip N,
"... i was told it was going to be a A340-600 which all have the AVOD.."
==> The A340-600 series all have IFE that came with the aircraft at time of delivery and that has been the chosen aircraft that has been deployed to LHR while the demand softened and theit B747's underwent refurbishment.
Travel Safe,
