Hey!
The 'Executive Lounge' in the pictures is operated by the Radisson Hotel. The Thai ROP Lounge is on the right before you head to the stairs.
The Airport restaurant, on the left as you go to the top of those stairs, is actually a very good place to be if you have time to burn at the airport.
The Thai Lounge is not as large, but is good enough for a 30-40 minutes wait for the TG flight. It doesn't serve any other airline and is only open before the TG departures. No washrooms in the TG lounge though.
Hope you enjoyed KTM.
cheers!!

wpj-- I went to the site and couldn't find any pictures of the lounge. I did however, see pictures from the Hyatt Regency Kathmandu. Looks like a great trip! Would love to see more pictures and hear more about it, as my wife and I are heading out there in June. Didn't quite get the Presidential suite, but booked a suite for only 8K points. Incredible deal!

Glad to see this thread bumped. I've had a few things happen in the few days since returning that trumped getting pics together. I'll have them in a few days.
We took off to the south a few days ago and once turning east there was little visibility so even though A seats are the better bet, there's no guarantee.

It's counterpart, TG319, is actually one of my favourite flights - a comfortable departure time, great morning views from the left side of the plane over the lush peaks and valleys of Thai/Burmese border area, followed by first Kanchenjunga and then Everest drifting into view on the other side, and culminating in an exciting approach to KTM where the rugged countyside comes up almost to meet you before falling away once more. And then you are at KTM and in another world. And it's on TG which is one of my favourite airlines.
AND you have a good chance of being offered a pretty decent Indian curry on TG319/320, if that floats your boat. (Look out for the second chipati run.)
