As mentioned above drinks were free 0530-2130. Lounge is packed but staff knows everyone by name. There are at least 3 staff on duty at any given time. I spoke with manager. They did not sell upgrades to EL this week because of all the Gold and Plat elites here.

While this lounge and its staff are wonderful, the Asia lounges I have been to are better: Singapore, Hong Kong JW, HKG Ren Harbour, and Seoul. Bangkok Marriott is nicer in terms of the space and they give you free buffet breakfast in the restaurant.
Good info on when to try to book for NYE I've never been able to get rooms. I'll have to try this approach
