Awesome! I"m glad my friend was wrong about that info. I can see this as being the defacto lounge at BKK now. What was once a dreadful lounge experience looks to be the best lounge for oneworld passengers out of BKK.

It's looking great, thanks for the photos and update! I assume it has been opened already? Are there showers (or even a proper bathroom INSIDE the lounge? I don't ask for much :P )

Definitely on keeping it quiet

The new CX BKK Lounge is fantastic - it has the WOW factor that I still don't have with any other lounges.

There are no showers as all the flights from BKK are regional. There is a dedicated restroom for male and females within the lounge with Aesop amenities - see photos below.

How about the included food and drink options. Sit down with menu, or only buffet? Any special signature drinks? Is tipping expected like it is in the US?

There definitely won't be any tipping expected.
