General Impression
Location and Access
It is designated as an Air France lounge on Suvarnabhumi maps and such, perhaps meaning that AF signed the lease, but one of the cardboard signs out front reads "SkyLounge," and it seems to be used by most or all SkyTeam airlines operating from BKK: AF, KL, KE, and SU. (I'm not sure about Northwest, but highly doubt it has its own lounge or made lounge-sharing arrangements with a non-ST carrier.) It is on Level 3, what I'd describe as the Mezzanine level, one level below the main "Departures" level/mall and one level above the gate areas used by both arriving and departing pax. You reach it by taking the escalator down from the depatures level at the junction of the E, F, and G concourses, then walk out the F concourse, and it's on the right. You'll pass a small BA lounge at the foot of the escalator, and Eva Air's lounge is opposite the SkyLounge.
If you are taking an international departure or arrival flight, Inside immigration and security you have free run of the entire international area--this lounge included. Domestic flights, such as those on AirAsia, are segregated from the rest of the airport (and this lounge) by security.
Food and Beverages
The selection of food was limited, but enough for breakfast. They have 3-4 selections of cut fruit, juices, rolls, and cakes, etc, but no hot food.
Layout
The lounge has at least four rooms. You enter in the middle. In front of you are circular tables of four workstations with some computers (few seemed to actually have working connections to the internet). To the right is a large room with a buffet station in the middle and a bar at the far end and lots of smallish cocktail-type tables. Beyond the food-and-beverage room are the bathrooms; they had a nice modern design like everything else but ridiculously flimsy doors that felt like cardboard and must have been put up as a temporary fix (I hope) in the rush to open Suvarnabhumi by Sept. 28th. Turning left from the entrance is a standard lounging room with the usual modern comfy seats and small tables arranged in groups, and the fourth and final room at the end is similar, though it had a couple of massaging chairs naturally monopolized by two pax the whole time I was there. All of the rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows looking out on the ramp area of concourse G, and the room on the left at the end also has a view down the rest of concourse F. At night, the ramp is fairly dark, and the reflection on the glass makes it difficult to see anything out on the ramp, though it was a quiet night with not many planes out there.
Entertainment and Business-facilities
Several terminal computers with internet access, as well as free public Wi-Fi.
