Just wanted to confirm what some of the other posts have said regarding the single international business class lounge currently open in the new airport, which is completely overcrowded and serves lousy food.

Got there at around 3pm (Mon 16th) and the lounge was almost full. After leaving to have a bite to eat as the food is so bad in the lounge, and returing around 4.30, every seat was taken and many people were standing! I walked across to the entrance and entered the First lounge which was half empty. Was quickly accosted by staff and ended up in a heated argument with the lounge supervisor as to why they do not allow paying C-Class pax into the F-Lounge when it has space available. I eventually left (i think just before she was about to call security!)

I can understand that they are having teething problems at the new airport, probably outside of their control, but surely they should do their best to accomodate high rev business passengers. Is it that much of a big deal to allow them into F lounge (or just separate the F lounge with a reserved section for F as in many other lounges)? I have to say it threatened to ruin what was otherwise a very good experience with flying Thai business class.

I suggest that everyone who finds themselves in a similar situation asks that they can use the F lounge. Perhaps they will evenutally get the message!

[also, no boarding announcements and no flight info screens in the lounge]
