Thai Royal Silk Domestic Lounge

After another night of eating and drinking and fearing possible irreversible weight gain, I worked out this morning. As we were leaving to head to the airport, we were treated to the Pen's Chinese New Year celebration...

Our Peninsula driver dropped us off at Suvarnabhumi about two hours before departure.

TG mystery #1: For those unfamiliar with TG, they do offer OLCI and seat selection but they are both one of those "what's the point?" features. Supposedly one can select seats at T-24 but each time I checked in, seats had already been assigned and the change seat function was unavailable. Nor could I print BPs for any of my TG flights. In each case, I was instructed to "see airport agent". Not that is was a big deal today as we were the only pax in the entire B and C concourse.

We breezed thru check-in and security where we the only pax for 5 fully manned screening lanes... yeah just like TSA.
A few minutes later, we were in one of the worst airport lounge I have ever visited.

Crowded mostly with farang kettles including one Aussie couple and their obnoxious kids... apparently overturning furniture is a new sport down under. Never were thirty feet of space and Bose headsets a better friend. No departure monitors for updates and dragons that couldn't speak English. OK it's a domestic lounge but most of the pax were farang.

We both passed on the buffet spread ...
