Odd & Bad: Bangkok Priority Pass Miracle Business Class Lounge (Concourse G) Review

Worth Coming to Airport Early For: NO (This place feels like a shoddy Ikea design of what an airport lounge should be)

Better Than The Terminal? YES (Although just marginally – seating is pretty bad in the terminal itself)

Introduction

At this point in my trip, I had no idea who or what I was because had been traveling 24+ hours across two separate long haul flights (LAX – HND in JAL biz and HND – BKK in JAL biz). However, this is what the last-minute award availability gods had in store for me. To be honest, I could’ve just stayed in Bangkok, but preferred making Singapore my destination for this trip because I was looking for a place with a little more calm and stability. And there’s probably no better large city on earth for that other than Singapore.

My previous flight from Tokyo had landed in Bangkok around 5:30am from Tokyo Haneda. My next flight was to depart at around 9:20am, which meant I needed to find a place to kill a few hours. I thought Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport would be a decent place to spend time in, especially given Asia (generally) tends to be much better with quality priority pass lounges. I was wrong.

After going through security again, I was airside and went over to the nearest lounge. For me, this was the “Miracle Business Class Lounge” in Concourse F. This place was so cramped, dark and small I walked in and walked right out 5 minutes later looking for a better place to camp out. I ended up in the same brand of lounge in Concourse G, which was much brighter and the lounge looked (slightly) more promising. It was a bigger and brighter space, but that’s pretty much all that it had going for it.

In this post, you’ll find:

Access & Lounge Hours

This lounge is accessible via Priority Pass. It’s airside in Concourse G on level 3, opposite of gate 2. It’s currently open 24 hours, with a max visit time of 2 hours (I doubt that’s actually enforced).

I have priority pass through my Amex Platinum (and also Venture X) – priority pass access is pretty standard for all premium cards nowadays, so it’s pretty easy to get your hands on.

This is not a place you want to go out of your way for, or go to at all to be honest, unless you just want to grab a free drink from the fridge or have a quieter place to sit than the terminal.

After being on the road for 24+ hours with one more flight though, I just needed a quiet place to sit and rest for a bit.

Lounge Review & Amenities

The lounge is structured on two floors; the lower floor is the “Miracle Business Class Lounge”, and upper floor is the “Miracle First Class lounge”. This was closed during the time of my visit. Usually, both are accessible via priority pass.

Here’s the entrance area of the lounge. Checking in was quick and easy – I just flashed my boarding pass and scanned my priority pass membership code on my phone.

The lower floor has a long hallway with lots of lounge chair seating options:

The seating area is fine – no good views because you’re behind a few layers of glass, and the chairs and flooring is definitely showing its age. At this point though in the trip, I was grateful to just have a place to sit down and rest for a bit.

Here’s the escalator up to the first class area, which was closed during my visit. Maybe this area is nicer?

Now onto the food – this is where the lounge disappointed. The food area is right by the entrance. Everything here just seemed off. And strange?

Conclusion

Overall, this lounge is underwhelming. The food is not good, and it’s a pretty old and worn place. However, the seating is comfortable enough and it’s a fine place to grab a free drink and relax for a bit. The terminal itself doesn’t have a ton of nice seating, so this definitely beats that. However, I wouldn’t come to the airport early for this place.

Next stop, one last short hop on Singapore Airlines short haul economy.
