Around August, I left my place in Thailand for a short trip back to Japan.
I’d been curious about Travel Club Lounge at Don Mueang (DMK), so I went in with Priority Pass. Leaving a few notes here in case it helps someone else.
(I wrote about exchanging leftover baht after landing in a separate post.)
A fairly new lounge at DMK
The blue wall and glowing white logo make it easy to spot.
Behind the desk it’s bright wood paneling — clean in a way that feels like a newer lounge.
There was a walk-in promo
I went in early August, and a walk-in promo was up.
No idea if it’s still running.
I got in with Priority Pass, so I didn’t use that price, but the standee in the corridor was clear enough.
After check-in, you go downstairs
Once you’re checked in, an escalator takes you down a level.
The world-map wall stood out, and there was a complimentary-drink note for Priority Pass members.
Being newer, it was also very clean.
Spotless — and empty
This is what you see when you get down.
Morning flight, so it was almost empty.
Quiet enough that it felt like I was the only guest.
Side tables by the chairs have power outlets, and the flight info screens are easy to catch.
Drinks were solid
Coffee, juice, alcohol — the usual lineup was there.
Self-serve machines. Fine for a morning departure.
Workspace too
There’s a workspace area if you need remote work or a quick call.
Booth-style seats and a few more open ones.
Showers as well
There are showers — ask the staff if you want one.
Clean, and nothing smelled off.
Better to ask early if you plan to use one.
Welcome drink included
Maybe because of the promo at the time, I also got a nice mocktail.
I had rice and a Thai-style vegetable stir-fry.
Every staff member was friendly and walked me through how things worked.
Food was enough
Salad, soup, a few rice dishes, fruit.
Not much in the way of bread, but it was plenty.
If you’ve got Priority Pass and you’re flying out of Don Mueang in the morning, it’s worth stopping by.
Clean, quiet, and not crowded — that stuck with me.
A lot of people get Priority Pass through a credit card; right now there’s a Rakuten Card campaign in Japan through the 28th if you want points while signing up.
(I drafted this post in Draft (Shitagaki).)
