Hi Lucky,
I’m flying THAI business from Bangkok to Tokyo tomorrow evening at 10:30 PM. What is the earliest time I can arrive at the airport to check in my bags. I heard it’s 3-4 hours before but I’d prefer to arrive early as I have a friend departing before my flight and would like to sit at the lounge with them.

Since you’re flying the airline out of it’s hub, I think that any TG check in counter should be able to check your bags to your flight even if you arrive way in advance.

Hi [USER=2516]@David1011[/USER], and welcome!

Generally you don’t want to arrive too far in advance to an outstation, as the check-in staff might only get there a few hours before the flight. As [USER=29]@David W[/USER] says though, there should be round-the-clock Thai staff in Bangkok.
