How to go to Aeon Lounge at Central Pinklao

Bus No. 511 is the most convenient to go to Central Pinklao from Sukhumvit area. I took the bus at Central World then took around 25 minutes to the destination. Fare cost is 20 THB.

Bus No. 511 is going to Bangkok Southern bus terminal at last. This bus also passes King palace and famous Khaosan road so very useful for tourists.

Arriving at Central Pinklao! Let’s get inside to escape from hot weather.

Nice interior design with high ceiling in escalator hall. Take escalator to 4th floor for banking areas.

Central group mall signature bear welcomes you.

All major banks locates branches at 4th floor.

Escalator exit is surrounded by major bank branches.

And Aeon Thana Sinsap is one of them.

Aeon lounge is inside of Aeon Thana Sinsap branch. You just need to show ID card to bank officer. At this moment, there was only one officer.

Lounge service

Inside the lounge, there are 4 rounded tables and one long sofa. When arrived, 3 groups were making themselves already. I took picture of the area once after all other guests cleared.

Normally in other lounges, Sugoi Japan TV program airs to introduce the culture of Japan. However here, they show Thai news program instead, 55. Maybe some other guests requested to watch it.

Bank officer brought food set and water bottle. Seems no chocolate pie here, which I like!

Japanese traditional pottery is displayed at lounge area near TV screen.

Thai news TV on screen.

Only coffee is available for you to take.

Machine is empty this time, hahah. Sad, I could not take it.
