During my exotic journey to Bangkok via Paris, I flew Thai Airways’ Boeing 787 business class from Bangkok (BKK) to Milan (MXP). Prior to my flight, I had chance to check out several of the Star Alliance lounge options in Bangkok, and in this installment, I’d like to review the Thai Airways Royal Orchid Prestige Lounge (I’ll also review the EVA Air Lounge and Turkish Airlines Lounge).
While Thai Airways has nine(ish) lounges at Bangkok Airport, the Royal Orchid Prestige Lounge is Thai Airways’ flagship lounge facility, which first opened in late 2019 (not exactly great timing for opening a new international lounge in Bangkok!).
I do think this is Thai Airways’ nicest business class lounge. However, it’s not particularly memorable, and doesn’t rank among the best business class lounges in the world. For that matter, it’s actually not that differentiated from the carrier’s other lounges, other than being a bit more modern.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
