One of the things that I've always liked about flying out of Bangkok was the free massages in the Thai Airways lounge. But it seems like that has long since disappeared; that might have even been at the old Don Mueang airport, which really goes to show you how infrequent these Bangkok trips are for me. It's too bad that the lounge doesn't have it anymore either way.
The Thai Airways lounge at Suvarnabhumi has other surprises though, not only in how looooooong the lounge stretches in both directions down the terminal, but also in the array of food stations in both directions. That included not just soup noodles and pad thai cooked to order above, but also desserts and snacks like that these banana sticky rice dumplings. None if it is worth saving stomach space for, but it was interesting to see how much effort they made, including some celebrity chef visits scheduled too.
To that end, the in-flight economy class meal today featured Thipsamai-branded pad thai, along with a lemongrass-based salad and even a coconut dessert, which was a nice surprise. If I get a flight out of the new satellite terminal again, then I'll need to stop at Ginger Farm Kitchen, as it's a Bib Gourmand from Chiang Mai.
