Airlines that let you pick your seat? London Bangkok

I've been a loyal Thai customer for my regular LHR BKK journey, only because
the website let me pick a seat before I handed over the cash. This facility
doesn't work anymore. I think it's been 'improved' and as a result, the page
cannot be displayed. I've had enough and they have to get the sack. No
computer advice please, this is a travel group. My question is:
What airlines let you pick your seat? British Airways, last time I looked
only let you see what was available after payment. High Risk. Especially
with their tendency to go on strike so not Thai and not BA. Any thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

Singapore airlines allows it but I think the option is only available after
you buy the ticket and have a booking reference for input into the seat
request system.
Their system has a graphic layout of the plane/seats, but some seats never
seem to be available including I think the emergency exits. I have also done
it one the phone with the reservations people and maybe they have better
access to specific seats than the internet version.

I have a registered preference (through Krisflyer I assume) for window seats
and for some odd reason their system usually automatically allocates me 33K
or 34K on 747s. There are many other window economy seats but I probably get
those seats 70-80% of the time in recent years. Very odd. But at least I
know where the seats are by now.
