How to Maximise TG Royal Silk Class Experience
Hello,
I am soon taking my first flight on TG, flying from LHR-BKK-RGN in J on their A380 and A330. Is there a resource here on this forum detailing how to make the most of the Royal Silk experience?
I am aware of the lounge access at LHR T2, the turn down service onboard and the free 30min massage at BKK during my layover but is there anything else that I should be aware of which isn't proactively offered or obvious to passengers? For example are there any Pyjamas available on request?
Any advice/tips would be much appreciated thank you.

Choose an A or K seat for maximum privacy.
They can can mix a good martini, either gin or vodka.
TG's new long haul biz class meal service and presentation is pretty good... it would give some first classes a run for their money.
Nothing else much much to maximise your experience unfortunately.

not sure about the slippers as I did not get any yesterday on my long haul in J from Europe...PJs only in F
take a closer look at the drink menu as they serve now a more extensive menu of alcoholics, also the champagne, usually Veuve Cliquot is not bad
if your stopover in BKK is longer then 2 hours, beside the 1/2 hour massage try the slightly better Biz Lounges of EVA (terminal F) and SQ (terminal D)

SQ's new lounge opened earlier this year and is now down the same end of the (long) terminal as the EVA lounge ...

Thank you to everyone for the very helpful replies. Confirm I found slippers inside washbag.
On a separate note - can anyone recommend where to go in BKK airport for the best prawn Pad Thai?
Many thanks

Full discosure: I have been to the EVA lounge but not the new SQ lounge yet. But I have walked past the sign to it ! I believe it is near gate D7 .. which is near the E/F/G 'end' of the terminal, compared to the old SQ lounge which was at the opposite end.

Ok I think we're both kind of right. Full discosure: I have been to the EVA lounge but not the new SQ lounge yet. But I have walked past the sign to it ! I believe it is near gate D7 .. which is near the E/F/G 'end' of the terminal, compared to the old SQ lounge which was at the opposite end.

The new SQ lounge is lovely and I'd wholly recommend it over the TG provisions. But if you are going for a massage after check-in, stay in the TG lounge until you have your treatment. It's a very long walk to the SQ lounge and then back to the TG spa (and then back again if you are in one of the far gates such as E or F concourse).
