I prefer Bangkok Airways to Air Asia due to the extra fees Air Asia charges for pretty much everything vs Bangkok Airways. When you look at all the extra fees you get charged with Air Asia, sometimes Bangkok Airways is actually cheaper for what you get. Granted I have only flown Bangkok Airways 4 times now but have yet to see the free lounges crowded. Also I much prefer BKK over DMK due to Airport Rail Link access and overall facilities, brightness, architecture, stuff to look at, lack of backpackers sitting in circles on the floor going "chill bro", etc...
If you want to avoid queues, you could get fast track through https://www.limousine.in.th/fast-track-immigration.html
Bangkok Flight Services ( https://www.bangkokflightservices.co...port-services/ ) used to offer fast track to economy passengers (which I used in April) but now it seems like they don't as of sometime last summer. It confuses me because both times I have flown business into bangkok I was given fast track passes by the airlines (Hainan and JAL).
