Coral Executive Lounge Phuket Review – Things to Note
- Food selection is decent but not extensive – While there are some hot options, the buffet is not as premium as airline-operated lounges.
- Can get crowded during peak hours – The lounge fills up quickly in the evenings when multiple international flights are departing.
- Limited seating near power outlets – If you need to charge devices, you may need to wait for a spot near an outlet.
- Shower facilities are only in the international terminal – If you’re in the domestic lounge, showers are not available.
- Walk-in price is a bit high – At 1,200 THB (~$35 USD) per person, it may not be worth it for short layovers.
Review of Coral Executive Lounge Phuket – Tips
- Visit during off-peak hours – Mornings and mid-afternoons tend to be quieter than evenings.
- Use a lounge membership program – If you have Priority Pass, LoungeKey, or DragonPass, you can access the lounge for free.
- Try the local Thai dishes – The hot buffet items rotate, but the Thai options are usually the best.
- Grab a seat near a power outlet early – Charging stations are limited, so find a good spot as soon as you enter.
- Allow extra time before boarding – The walk to some gates (especially for international flights) can be long, so leave the lounge with time to spare.

The Coral Executive Lounge at Phuket International Airport is a solid option for relaxing before your flight. With complimentary food, drinks, and comfortable seating, it’s a convenient escape from the airport hustle. However, crowds and a limited food selection mean it’s not as luxurious as airline-operated lounges. If you have a long layover or an evening flight, it’s a good choice—especially if you have lounge access through a membership program.
