I just took TG for the first time a few days ago and was looking forward to checking out the TG lounge when I depart BKK until i saw this thread haha
Which lounge is recommended in BKK? Now I'm leaning towards the SKL

I dare any one of you to spend 20 minutes in the Vietnam Airlines lounge in Hanoi without seeing a rat taking a stroll between the cushioned chairs I can only assume are their homes.
While I haven't seen one degust the buffet offerings, their juicy appearance suggests they are quite well fed from other sources.

The lounge staff reaction was priceless though, 4 or 5 passengers standing watching Mr Roaches antics and one of te attendants whipped the cover off of the sandwiches, grabbed him with a serviette and put the cover back on and rushed out back. Straight away another passenger who knew nothing of the visitor went to get a sandwich, we advised him not to - sandwitch plate was never removed until emptied. I know, this is Asia but surely modern food hygiene practices would have filtered into BKK premium lounges? Got me thinking, what ARE those hot dogs made from? It's going to be a few hungry flights for me

It does not matter, because most TG flyers have been "smile'd" away from the lounge.
What does that mean?
