BKK Lounge for One World alliance

Morning all

I will be using BKK 3 times in March, twice in J and once in economy.
Would you have recommendations for OW alliance lounges to use in BKK. To my observations here BA lounge is not very exciting nor I can find whether Qatar has it's own lounge?

Any thoughts, directions are much appreciated

Cathay is the pick if open.

Qatar is reportedly building its own lounge but dont think an opening date has been announced yet

When I flew from BKK a few weeks ago, the JL check-in agent gave me an, "invitation," for some sort of consolidated lounge; I can't remember the name. It wasn't too crowded before my 8am flight, but the food was mediocre and kept running out.

While walking to my gate I passed right by the CX lounge. Not sure if it was open, but had I known it was there I would have looked into it.

Was their in Jan.

CX lounge is fairly nice with a well assorted Bar & comfortable seating.

Can't comment on the food though.

That would be the Louis Tavern Lounge at G concourse. Nearer to Gate G2. Comes with the standard self service bar and a smoking room.

The CX lounge is also at the G concourse.

Food is the usual pad thai, siew mai, dumplings.

Louis Tavern is presently being rebranded to "Miracle Lounge"

That's it! I don't remember a bar, but I was there for an 8am flight... Didn't see anyone drinking. Didn't see any pad thai or other food like that, it was mostly eggs, sausages, potatoes, etc.; typical breakfast food. There were some sandwiches, I remember tuna, and perhaps others.

This was toward one end of G (not far from the main area), while the CX lounge was still in G but the other direction. My JL flight to NRT left from the very end of the pier, past the CX lounge.

Not sure why JL would have given me a pass for this when there's a CX lounge; perhaps CX charges them more? Or since I'm an AA elite, would AA pay that?

+1

cx bkk lounge is very good, comparable to their other lounges in the region. i usually was there in the early morning so i experienced mostly breakfast. even if given other lounge invitations at check in, i would skip other lounges and go straight to cx.
