Thai Smile domestic lounge access
I know that *A Gold (non-Thai ROP) members don't get complimentary lounge access when travelling domestically, but is it possible to purchase lounge access? I'm arriving internationally about 1am and departing domestically around 7am and would like somewhere comfortable to put up my feet. I have two suitcases to retrieve and then check-in, so lurking in international transit lounges isn't an option

I also do not think that OP can do normal check in for domestic flight just after arrival

You'll be through customs by 2AM most likely and my suggestion is to head downstairs to the food court or pony up to an all night establishment on Floor 2 and grab some beer.
Counters will open at 5ish and you can proceed to airside at that time.
Good luck.

The expensive Novotel has an underground walkway next to the ARL city train, lowest level. Novotel also has a desk near domestic arrivals exit, I don't walk ask for a minibus, a few minutes drive, better than walk in 30C+.

but those underground walkway is not at 30C+, same as the bridges to the parking, which are airconditioned
