It is what I'd originally considered, but I have to get a visa, moving from freezing Seoul to sweltering Bangkok is going to tire me out. So I plan to just relax at the airport.
Unless you're on a tight budget, I would consider a day room at a transit hotel. Or maybe do some lounge hopping. |
E gates - Priority Pass, Oman Biz lounge
Great lounge, lovely food, quiet, decent alcohol selection.

I will be transiting BKK for 9 hours in November (flying TG economy ICN-BKK-MAA) . I'm a PP holder, but my wife isn't. Reading through the forum, i get the idea that Oman Air Lounge is probably the best. Is it possible to swipe my PP twice for both of us to enter? I've never tried it before. I got the PP as a freebie while applying for a credit card.
I would also choose the Oman Air lounge. Not the largest but find yourself a corner and feast on the food and booze. Both better than the Miracle Lounges. |
Tried the Miracle lounge in the D-concourse (basically as soon as you pass immigration) for the first time and it was worth the visit. Definitely a very spacious shower room, and it's convenient as a pit-stop before moving to my usual choice of the AF/KLM lounge.

I just went to the CX lounge which was nice and relaxing and they serve Moet.
But the wanton noodles were quite dire this time around - the soup was very bland - surprising for Thailand. |

I tried this lounge for the first time last month and I liked it quite a bit. Quiet, plenty of seats available, nice selection of both hot and cold food.
I've only visited the lounge on a contract basis for a flight to Bhutan and food and drink was sparse at the time. I'll give this another go soon then and compare my experience late night with mid-day offerings. |

One of the advertised facilities on the PP app is aircon...

I don't remember being uncomfortably warm - and I was there mid-afternoon - so the aircon must be functional. Wifi was perfectly adequate for what I needed (i.e., I'm not a big video streaming type of guy.) Edit: I don't drink when flying so cannot comment on the quality of adult beverages available. |

I personally like the area near the booths. It's close enough to the food areas but not so much that there's foot traffic, and the larger table of the booth is helpful at times. |
Flying TG924 BKK to MUC in economy which departs at 12:50 AM from I believe Terminal A. Flying with wife and two kids aged 7 and 10.
Which is the best Priority Pass at BKK in general and Terminal A in particular assuming we start boarding around midnight? Thank you! :) Edited to add that we are using PPS cards. |

I like Oman for drink/bottled water, none for food. Some think the AF lounge is good, I can't comment on that. Miracle lounges are middling at best.
What is Terminal A? Do you mean concourse? There is only 1 (long and wide ranging) terminal at this point. Being that late at night, our food intake would be limited and we are not drinkers especially the kids ;) Thank you for the AF suggestions, we have tried that at SEA and it was superior to KLM but the AS lounge was better than both! |

You don't swipe it twice. They will register two people in one transaction against both boarding passes. You will, I guess, enter free with your PP membership and you'll be charged the regular rate by PP for the guest. The lounge will have no visibility of this. They will just process two people on your PP account.

How would you compare the Oman lounge food with the Cathay lounge if you've experienced both?
The CX lounge has a small self serve snack area and a counter order area with more selections. The bar is OK for selection but staff isn't always on the ball in speed or qualtiy of drink. Bathroom are built for more than 1 person at a time but no shower. |

Oman has better snacks, a few entrees/rice depending upon the time of day. Dates, fruit, nuts at all hours. Booze is self serve and decent. Red and white wine, sparking white and rose. Bottles of water self serve as well. The biggest problem with Oman is the lack of outlets outside of the bench along the window and a table near the bathrooms. They also have a shower.
