Lounge access in BKK
Have looked all over but could not find a definitive answer... I will be flying BKK-NRT @ 5am. Planning on flying in from Phuket previous (late) evening and spending a few hours at a lounge. First of all, is that advisable? Second, what choices do I have for 24 hour ST lounges as DL Gold? Skyteam website says AF Sky Lounge and CIP but Delta site brings up KE and China Air lounges (plus CIP)! Who to believe and which one would the pros recommend? A shower would be a bonus...

lounges
I have used the AF lounge most frequently but also the CIP lounge and China Air. All are nice and to be honest I like to float between them - I like the food in the China Air lounge .

DL used to use the small Louis Tavern CIP Lounge at the junction of Concourses D, E, F, and G, a short distance from the AF SkyLounge. That little lounge frequently filled up. On my last DL departure from BKK, DL was using the much larger Louis Tavern CIP Lounge down Concourse G-- much more spacious, though the F&B wasn't materially better.
I agree with dEagleS: interlining bags is a concern. It would suck to have to go landside to deal with that when you could otherwise be catching 40 winks.

Louis Tavern, the operator of the CIP Lounges, also has an airside transit hotel that you could grab a rest in during your transit.

IIRC, I think I've seen the VN posterboard with the FA's in ao dai's outside the SkyLounge (owned by AF, used by AF/KL, KE, others). If so, that'd be it. If I'm wrong, it's whatever VN uses by contract.
