This is all I can find in the THAI newsletter:
"The way we get you through the airport faster
Gold Track Security and Immigration – makes moving through the airport, from departure to arrival, a smoother and more seamless journey than ever.
Gold Status holders, First and Business Class customers now have priority status at passport control in 12 key airports and can speed through security in more than 130 locations globally, with more major airports being added throughout 2017. A complete level of fast-track service in more places than any other airline alliance.
So, wherever you travel across the largest world-wide alliance network, we’re making your airport experience easier and more relaxed time after time."
I don't see any reference to BKK. The Star Alliance website doesn't show BKK in it's list of Gold Track locations either: http://www.staralliance.com/en/gold-...ports-overview
I think many of these are just security fast track, not immigration.

there are not so many Airports in Asia with fast track for Gold; some European Airports have fast track for security, but not for immigration

Really? Where? There is no signage to it, no lane marked *Gold. Sometimes if the queues are long I just roll up to priority but get the impression I'm not supposed to be there even if they process my form. So, is there an official lane? I must have missed it these past 20 years and more than a hundred times inbound.

good question!
guess only ROP Gold (maybe also *G on TG flight) as this fast line is for TG passengers. other Airlines use other fast track and usually only with vouchers
as I am TG Platinum and usually on J or F I did not pay much attention.
Maybe others can fill in?

I used the arrivals Fast Track in November - TG First and Business customers only. The entrance is along an aisle at the top of the slope on the left. There is a small sign there. Quick processing. In December I arrived on non-TG so stuck on the slope leading to immigration. A long wait but to my surprise I was still processed quicker than those queuing in Fast Track since they had only one desk open. So it's best to have a quick look at the respective queues.

Even Cairo offers a *Gold fast track, a blessing in a difficult airport...

If it is Star Alliance "Gold Track" branded, it will allow access to all *G as well as F/J.
Gold Track is available in HND and NRT, for example. See the link below (which strangely omits NRT) for other locations:
