Bangkok Airways Blue Ribbon Club Lounge

Most BKK lounge hunters skip this one entirely.

Concourse A at Suvarnabhumi’s Main terminal is home to the Bangkok Airways Blue Ribbon Club Lounge, mainly used by PG business-class and elite passengers rather than status collectors hopping across programs. If your boarding pass says Bangkok Airways and “Blue Ribbon,” this is your default stop between security and the A-gates.

The lounge sits airside after security on the Main terminal’s Concourse A pier, a short walk from gates A1–A6, so it works best if you’re on a PG domestic hop to spots like USM or CNX. Figure 5–10 minutes from central security to the door at a normal walking pace.

Opening hours generally track Bangkok Airways’ bank of departures, with the lounge active from early morning through late evening while PG flights are operating. If you have a 06:00–08:00 wave departure, expect it open; after the final PG flights around 22:00–23:00, don’t count on access and plan for gate seating instead.

Food here runs to simple buffet options that match short-haul regional flying: think small hot dishes, snacks, and soft drinks rather than a full hotel-level spread. Coffee, tea, and standard non-alcoholic drinks are complimentary, and alcoholic options, if available, tend to be basic rather than premium-label focused, which fits a 1–2 hour domestic wait.

Seating covers the usual mix of armchairs and small tables, laid out in a single continuous space rather than multiple rooms, and it fills according to PG’s banked departures on Concourse A. Power outlets are present but not at every seat, so if you need to charge a laptop from 20% to 80% before boarding, grab a spot near a wall or pillar as soon as you enter.

There’s Wi‑Fi tied either to the lounge or the airport network, which is adequate for basic streaming and email on one or two devices per person. Restrooms are nearby in the concourse if not directly inside, so allow 5 extra minutes before boarding if your gate prints as A5 or A6 and you’re making a last-minute bathroom run.

Tip: If your PG flight departs from another concourse like B or C due to an aircraft swap, allow at least 10–15 minutes to walk from Blue Ribbon in Concourse A to the new gate so you don’t cut it close at boarding T‑20.
