TG Domestic flights at BKK
Do TG Domestic flights at BKK use specific gates like A-gates or B-gates.
Is the route to the Domestic Baggage claim close to those gates or can it be a hike like international flights.

Anything TG at BKK typically involves a long walk. (Except when you're eligible for a buggy ride, which is when TG picks the closest possible gate.)
Sometimes it feels I've spent half my life in the Swampy corridors.

yes all domestic arrive in A and B councourse or on bus gate. bus arrives at D councourse very close to the baggage claim. the domestic baggage claim is in D, east of the international baggage claim (or in other words between international baggage claim and the A/B/D intersection)
Moving walk-ways along D in both direction, in A and B only in outgoing direction. So if you arrive at A6 you have a long walk to the baggage claim, along A without moving walk-ways and only from the intersection with D you will enjoy the moving walk-ways

Yes, a week ago I arrived in F at C3, first off the plane, put in a buggy with the other 2 PAX transfering to Domestic but then the lady driver just walked off and left us. No idea what she was doing. I gave up and walked the short distance but meanwhile half the plane was in the queue for immigration.

the ground staff was probably waiting for an additional passenger

There is no fast track at domestic transfer, hence my annoyance at half the plane ahead of me.

There were 3 names on her board and 3 of us in the buggy, if the ground staff were waiting for another passenger then they were not in F and their name was not on the board held by ground staff.

TIP's are usually written in Thai on another board...and they do not always sit in F...
