A friend of mine talked a purser into providing a fast track card despite travelling in Y from HKG. He got access to the priority area without them checking his boarding pass. I was flying J from SIN and they didn't demand to look at my boarding pass either, we just handed over the fast track cards at the entrance to the priority lane area. Interestingly for the flight from SIN they handed out passes at the door upon arrival whereas the HKG flight he was able to obtain one from a purser.

On arrival to Bangkok, I tried to use my blue fast track pass but was told that this is now an old one and I was despatched to the regular lane. 
I’m In suvarnabhumi now on the way home and have just been op upped to business - hooray. (I have ba gold). I passed swiftly through the fast track lane.

I landed at BKK last Friday. The agents now do not have the passes on board, and are met by a CX agent at BKK who does, and J passengers leave by the front door only and are given a pass as they leave. None for PY, Y, status, etc., who are held back and who use the second door or the front after J is empty.
At Fast Track, there are agents who ask for the BP and scan the pass QR code and take it, leaving the immigration officer to process the passenger and landing card only.

That's just random. Depends on whether the passes have been loaded at HKG or not. I've had it both ways in the past two months.

Not according to the purser who said too many people trying to mooch out of J due to status, mom is sick, I am the ambassador to Fredonia etc. To me the more strict and the fewer freeloaders the better.

Rather annoyingly, I have to stop by a check in counter even if travelling hand luggage only from BKK so that I can get the fast track voucher. A more efficient system would be to scan the BP at the fast track lane and if it was in J/F to permit access based on that. To have a separate paper voucher seems a waste of time and (environmental/human) resource.

Data point: 5 Apr, entrance to fast track was guarded and looked at my boarding pass very briefly, i unintentionally covered the "business class" wording on boarding pass but no issue at all. Guess just wanted to verify i did flew CX to match the stamp on fast pass

They handed them out on board before we landed my last CX BKK arrival in March. When they handed them out at the gate on an earlier flight, I was told it was because they had forgotten to load them at HKIA.

Separate Fastrack Passes No More
Came through BKK this week. They no longer use separate Fastrack passes on arrival or departure. You just show your BP. They've also moved the Fastrack departure area to the middle of the departures hall, much closer to the CX check-in counters. It was the least crowded I've ever seen it yesterday ^

Great improvement, if you ask me ^
