Thai Royal Silk Lounge in Bangkok Questions
I'll be flying in December from Bangkok. Flight is at midnight and I'll be travelling Thai Royal Silk/business class, BKK-CDG on 380. I know there are a few of the lounges on various concourses. I don't mind the walk, just not sure which concourse my flight is from, as I plan to be whiling away some time in the airport for at least a couple hours beforehand. I've found some reviews, but they're a year or two old, so curious which of them has the most amenities or is the most relaxing?
Cheers!

go to the one you will find a seat! December is peak season and in the evening from 930pm is peak time
a lot of the TG A380 leave from C where there are two smaller Royal Silk lounges located

If you are interested in wine, there is no longer any wine served in the C and E lounges. And you might find the seats a bit "unappealing", as you can see from this photo I took at the C lounge last month.

It is also the closest lounge to the spa, for business class treatments.

My understanding is that the lounge on Concourse D is a dedicated business class lounge, and star alliance gold card holders travelling in economy are not permitted entrance. This might explain the difference in lounge offerings (ie no wine in other lounges)

Its almost identical other than wine. Not worth it as its often overcrowded

This won't affect everyone, but my sister found the star gold lounges somewhat 'uncomfortable' as a solo female in terms of the passenger mix and did not feel the same in the dedicated business class lounge.
