[BKK] New SKL Lounge to open on Feb 8
Based on the info posted on SKL construction site in BKK (across the concourse from gate D7/8), the lounge should open on Feb 8, 2017. It should be much bigger than the current one. Of course this is BKK, so delays might happen...

possible delays
Was having a short chat with one of the staff,
- some delays may be expected...
- they are looking at end-feb or early-march to open the new lounge.
- new SKL will be located near gate D7 / D6. This would mean a shorter walk from the immigration control area. (a right turn from immigration, and a 1-2 mins walk)

front desk staff just told me that the new lounge would open March 8th.
I certainly hope it will still offer the fresh coconuts and Thai iced tea ice cream!

Looking forward to 8 March
Those from the Thai roadside stalls are rather fresh too .
Or really fresh from our garden , not plantation
Growing up , we had these boys who would come from a nearby kampong & ask to scale our coconut trees . Bartering with them worked really well

They were extended to accommodate *A elites who are not impressed with TG lounges (so BR can make money on this lounge). I use it regularly for my midnight OZ flight to ICN.
