Family access to Thai Airways international lounges in Bangkok
I'm a Star Alliance Gold member and may be passing through Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) with family in the near future. Standard Star Alliance rules permit only one guest per cardholder, end of story; however, member airlines are often more liberal, sometimes as a matter of policy and sometimes in practice even when policy says something different.
For Thai Airways, the only source I can find is this undated page on their Australia site, which says children under 6 get free access and anybody else can pay "from A$76" for access. Is this still the case in 2022?

Lounge availability during Covid period may change without notice. So please plan ahead.
As a matter of policy you can bring one guest. Period. You may try your luck at entrance maybe you are lucky. If not you can try King Power lounge which is accessible to member. You can apply by top up your account for 2,000 Baht and use that credit to purchase things at their shops at airport.
