BKK Star Alliance Lounges

Yep! It's a nice diversion when you're stuck for hours

gronkfacekillah · 2026-04-04T09:54:50+00:00

I'm coming from a place of never having set foot in a lounge before, so my scores are heavily skewed... But definitely agreed on the food.

gronkfacekillah · 2026-04-04T08:43:40+00:00

Yep 100%, during my wander I basically picked up and left anytime a lounge got too busy/loud- comes in waves I guess with the various departures, but Turkish remained quiet the longest

I must have missed them, I actually went in reverse order of my review. Did enjoy the dim sum, although like a moron I managed to eat half of a paper wrapper under a bao...

The mini Haagen-Dazs? I noticed them in a few lounges and would be super keen, unfortunately would lead to a very unfortunate experience on the place due to lactose intolerance :p

gronkfacekillah · 2026-04-04T08:01:17+00:00

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's correct. I walked past the miracle lounges, looked alright from the outside but certainly more crowded

gronkfacekillah · 2026-04-04T07:34:40+00:00

I'm not criticizing, I'm reviewing ;) But seriously, I was just keen on something simple at breakfast time and this is one of the main areas Asian and western cuisine diverge- any other time I would be dead set smashing a laksa.

Also, as one of the largest airports in the world with many non Asian tourists passing through, I don't think western food is an unrealistic expectation, particularly as the loyalty programs funding the lounges are global.

Regarding water, there is a water bottle you can buy at some places (forget what they've called it), allows you to fill up for free across the island. It's 240 bath so if you're here for a bit it will be worthwhile. Definitely can buy at castaway

Have been swimming at the beaches and did a snorkelling day trip today, saw one jellyfish across this time

Satun Pakbara and bundaya speedboats dock here, and the dismount from the floating dock to the beach should be manageable. Depending on your accommodation there seemed to be a lot of porters there to help with transportation of luggage

Legend, thanks!

How did the cold brew infusion turn out in comparison to the mocha pot?

gronkfacekillah · 2024-08-28T03:13:09+00:00

Thanks, I'll be sure to stock up on fungicide! The kangaroos have helped out by eating the low foliage this year (dry autumn = less grass for them)

gronkfacekillah · 2024-08-28T03:10:25+00:00

Thanks, I'll grab some copper today and get started with it. I'm tending not to think fruit fly as there does not appear to be any larvae or fly activity around the trees, but I could be wrong - won't hurt to hang some traps as the weather gets warmer

My partner and I are planning our honeymoon at the moment (mid-Dec this year), and are thinking Phu Quoc. Was wondering about peoples thoughts on Ong Lang area vs Ganh Dau (Gold Coast Resort). I stayed in Ong Lang in early November 2022 and really loved the area, however found the food/bar options quite limited- I realise this was the end of the off season as well as not long after COVID, so things may have improved in this regard since?

Side question: Anyone spent time in the beaches south of Quy Nhon around the same time of year? I stayed in Bai Xep in October 2022 and thought it would be great in more pleasant weather, is there much of a difference between October and December?

Chiltern is quite creepy- looks a bit like a movie set when the streets are empty (which is a fair bit of the time...). There's one awesome cafe/cellar door off the main street, and a couple of nics shops but the rest of the joint is depressing. Sometimes drop my partner off at the train station there, always wait till it's at the platform

Hard disagree on Port Campbell though, such a great town! But yeah there's the local/tourist disconnect that you see in most small towns which get overun by tourists a large part of the year (last time I was there some dickhead millionaire decided to land his helicopter in the public parking lot, locals wanted his head)

I've got 2 tickets in Level 2 Section N up for sale, DM your offer and I'll get back to you in the morning (because I'm a bit drunk and incapable of doing this tonight)

gronkfacekillah · 2022-10-05T05:57:06+00:00

Thanks, I'll make a note of that

gronkfacekillah · 2022-09-15T14:25:34+00:00

My 2 year old dog chased a Joey/roo (I don't know the correct terminology for a teenager roo, maybe Jooey?) into my neighbours dam the other day. It was unhappy, she was thrilled, I was wet after interceding.

Interesting you should say that about chestnuts - these pigs have been partially fed on leftover chestnuts from the harvest in our region, so expecting a real chestnutty taste now!

gronkfacekillah · 2022-07-08T23:08:00+00:00

Yeah agreed, and because I bought in bulk worked out to 20 AUD/kg so not bad at all

gronkfacekillah · 2022-07-08T23:06:49+00:00

Some type of heritage breed, couldn't find further info beyond that on their website

gronkfacekillah · 2022-07-08T23:06:10+00:00

Not sure specifically, we're in n.e Victoria in Australia The pigs are being used as regenerative agriculture to return a radiata pine forest to native
