There seems to be only one trip report on line... food seems to be a snack. What's the alcohol selection like?

Edited to add - do you recall if you got a fast track voucher/pass for arrival in BKK?
The Juneayo flight experience was fine. But though I was assured by SFO check-in that my bags would be checked through. Not true. Lucky that I checked at the bag claim. But regardless of bag claim and recheck, you are still required to exit through immigration in order to re-entry the system for the connection. (just like in USA). I was able to use my 10year chinese visa, so that was not too bad.
I was just flying economy, so I was not granted fast track. But I have the APEC Biz Travel Card, so that whisks me through BKK immigration in a flash.
