It was a pretty long walk to transfer security, which was totally empty, and we proceeded to the Silver Kris Lounge for the short layover. The lounge was very crowded and packed full. Unless you are looking for some good F&B offerings, the crowded lounge definitely did not contribute to a relaxing ambience.
Cocktail selections had changed from my last visit.
Buffet selection was excellent as before.
I only had a tom yum soup, desserts and drinks.

Singapore Airlines
SQ 977
Bangkok (BKK) - Singapore (SIN)
A330-300
9V-STR
Business Class
Flight Time: 1H53M
Before long, we proceeded to the gate where boarding has already commenced.
Into the Business Class cabin, back to the old regional seat which is being phased out. Though I still feel that this seat is pretty decent for short-hauls. A pillow and blanket is already placed on each seat.
View out the window from 16K. Kenya Airways B787 commencing its taxi.
Boarding in progress.
As per standard procedure, welcome drinks and hot towels are offered.
Requested for a champagne, which unfortunately, had no bubbles… The entire tray of champagne was lacking the bubbles….
Headphones and menu. Yes, menu booklet is still available on this BKK-SIN flight, though I read that someone in J had the menu slip instead the month before.
Prepping for departure.
Continued with my movie which I did not complete on the last sector on TG.
Pushed back and safety video played.
Taxiing to the runway. The satellite terminal construction is underway.
Departure from Rwy19L.
Beautiful views of the coastline.
Flew over U-Tapao airport, a rising alternate airport to BKK, and marketed as Pattaya's airport.
Dinner menu for this flight.
Selection for SQ974 SIN-BKK sector.
Elaborate beverage selection
Dinner service commenced shortly after departure. Due to the full load in Business, we only got our meal almost an hour after departure as we were the last few to be served.
As expected on the short haul, all courses were served on a single tray. I chose for the beef ribs, which came with a prawn starter and thai dessert.
The prawn salad was very fresh and refreshing.
Beef short ribs was very tender and flavourful. BKK catering certainly did not disappoint.
The thai dessert was really cute.
The codfish with noodles was very tasty as well.
Ending with a chamomile tea.
44min to arrival after meal service is completed.
Lavatory is well-stocked as usual.
