BKK different concourses

Travelling soon from BKK with Gulfair, can someone explain how the concourse system works for int’l flights works? Can you pass between the concourses after security or are you limited to where your flight departs from?

Reason I ask is I have option of two lounges; Gulfair says access to Louis Tavern CIP on third floor (is there a difference between First and business as their website sells access and implies it is one and the same), or AirFrance KLM on concourse G third floor. Is any one better?

Tried to work out where Gulf depart from and looking at the departures from last week it’s been seemingly random.

Assuming you are asking for your departure, once you are through security you will be able to access all international departure concourses, gates and lounges.

The above advice is spot on. No need to research this on your own - you can visit whatever lounge you have access too.

To confirm the above information, all of the "concourses" in the international departures area after security are connected. You can easily travel from one to the next. (It's really just one large concourse, IMO.)

As for the other question - the Air France/KLM lounge is far superior to Louis.

Louis Tavern hasn't existed for a year at this point; they have all been renamed as Miracle Lounge.

If you haven't already flown, I'd be picking the lounge closest to your departure gate on the day of travel. It can be up to 850m to walk from one end to the other so you don't want to be backtracking if you can help it.
