Despite taking about 17 sets of T-shirts and underwear, 3 separate devices to access the interned, a camera & a stupidly excessive quantity of toiletries, mosquito repellant etc, my luggage weighs in at about 16kg.
Next time I intend to cut back.

Several sets of metal thongs could easily add up to 21kg. Most poseurs prefer the silky ones.

Good news. They should make it even lower. People travel with way too much stuff.

I have just checked on the thai airways uk site for flights beginning on the 1st of may flying from london and they are still saying 30kg , maybe the webb site has not been up dated or the 20kg load for baggage is internal flights only

Within Economy there are several classes - V & W are the lowest internationally and they attract the 20kg limit. Y & B are the highest and their limit remains 30kg. Jim’s cut’n’paste alluded to that. You need to check the conditions before you book

You get what you pay for (not necessarily the same for buying guys)
