Priority security clearance at BKK
Back before christmas I had a TG flight in J from CGK to BKK, which allowed me use of the fast track security lane on arrival. I have another flight into BKK in March but haven't yet made a reservation. Fast track was good, and I'm wondering if it's just TG J that has access, or do all airline J bookings qualify?

I went through there two days ago, having arrived in TG J from London. I was looking carefully at the signage and it clearly said First and Business with no mention of airlines. I wasn't issued with a fast track card, haven't seen those since before covid; they were checking boarding passes.

The AOT fast track these days are for everybody holding a F or J boarding pass (and half a million other strange exceptions...)

Along with the millions of other exceptions. I have not had an issue inbound but outbound tends to have a gigantic line of people with kids, 300 wheelchairs and their entourage, etc. I really would wish that AOT would have a fast track for F and J only - it is getting too ridiculous these days!

But you are right, sometimes an armada of wheelchairs storming the Fast Track....and they even have the attitude to jump the queue of the Fast Track
...and the airlines pay for F and J passengers and not for all the other exceptions....

I was on my last trip in August ALONE at the TG Fast Track (and I did not fly TG); maybe it also depends on the time; it was around10a.m.

Technically, it was never there in the first place. However, airlines could decide to whom they would hand out vouchers for fast track, which they in turn paid for. This turned into a big black-market-ish circus which thankfully was stopped.
If anything, rather than allowing every person and their dog in, they should make better a service for F and J pax.
