I was escorted from the Royal First lounge to the boarding gate. We walked for about 5 minutes to the end of the concourse. First class was the last to board so you can maximize time in the lounge.

Review: Thai Royal First Lounge BKK
I was pretty excited to experience Thai first class ground service. As I stepped off the plane there was an attendant waiting for me. We walked to a golf cart and drove off to security.
Review: TG HKG-BKK Business
In classic Thai fashion nothing is announced or on time. Boarding was scheduled to begin at 12:05 PM. However, boarding actually began at 12:30 PM.

I’ve never flown Thai business on an international route so I was pretty excited. I lowered my expectations a bit as this is a intra-Asia flight and doesn’t even have fully flat seats.

Review: TG Royal Silk Lounge Concourse D
After my complimentary treatment at the Royal Orchid Spa, I walked across the hall to the Royal Silk Lounge. The agent scanned my boarding pass and quickly admitted us.
Review: TG Royal Orchid Spa BKK
This is one of the most unique ground services out there. Thai Airways provides spa services to Royal First (First) and Royal Silk (Business) class customers. This is provided only to First and Business class customers flying on Thai Airways metal and is not extended to partner First and Business or Star Alliance Gold.

Aircraft: 777-300
Origin: CNX
Destination: BKK
Seat: 14B Business
Scheduled Push Back: 10:05 AM
Actual Push Back: 10:16 AM
I booked this one way CNX-BKK-TPE flight in business class using United miles which cost 40K. Come November 1 2017 the cost of these awards will be increased slightly. I saw there was a lounge at CNX but after clearing security I was told the lounge was before security and didn’t want to go back out. Boarding was scheduled to start at 9:45 AM. Like most Thai flights this is when they want you at the gate not when boarding will actually begin.

Destination: CNX
Seat: 12B Business
Scheduled Push Back: 1:10 PM
Actual Push Back: 2:11 PM
After leaving the Thai Royal Orchid lounge I headed over to gate A6 which was the furthest gate away in the terminal. Boarding was scheduled to start at 12:40 PM which was more of a concept than an actual boarding time. An announcement then came over the PA that the flight won’t board until 1:40 PM due to technical reasons. However, the status showed on time on the terminal monitors and website.
Review: Thai Royal Orchid Lounge Domestic BKK
I wasn’t too excited for this lounge as my experience with domestic lounges haven’t been too great. I flew Egypt Air and while their international lounge at Cairo was decent, the domestic lounge was essentially a room with chairs. However, this lounge was decent. It’s nothing special, but exceeded my expectations.
