I just tried the TG First lounge.....VERY nice....
I took the London cab service to the airport....VERY roomy....excellent for 3-4 travellers because of two back seats and two pulldown seats....adjustable air con & fans, stereo, and very good careful driver with a smooth ride perfect for reading all your newspapers and documents on the trip (the driver takes care of tollways and all luggage).....Baht 800 (tel:081-777-2-777).... a very nice non-stressful start for your trip....
first, a gold vested attendant escorts you from curbside from Entry One to the First Class check-in which is HUGE....like a nice modern airy hotel lobby.....
then after check-in, you are taken to the departure tax counter (actually the same one for business class) but no waiting....and then through departure immigration...very quick....
then downstairs to a little tandem 2 seater first class golf cart (its a narrow one that fits that small corridor running the entire length of the business class lounge)....the little golf cart takes you through the business class lounge...and you view the business class lounge denizens like a night zoo safari....
the cart drops you at the lounge....very nice....I had a large TV room to myself....the smoked salmon, pate, and shrimp appetizers were very nice,...the tiny tiramisus and cappachinos were delicious, and the small fish maw soups in individual ceramic elephant warmers very good....
the slumber rooms are not yet furnished with beds..but the shower rooms and the bathrooms VERY nice....
there is a full service bar, a separate dining room, a separate smoking room.... four individual internet stations...meeting rooms....wireless internet access....very nice indeed....MUCH larger than the old First class lounges at Don Muang....
unfortunately the TG Royal Orchid Spa is not yet finished across the hall from the First Class lounge, so no complimentary massages available yet...but the attendant said this will come soon... (before Christmas??)
