I don't really go for Italian at all these days (so boring), so will skip the other one. I have been to maybe one good Italian this year (in Italy).
Its a problem though when I don't like to eat much Carbs. So no pasta, no Pizza, no polenta, no french fries, no risotto, etc.
My previous Bangkok "Tapas" experience was a place between Soi 21 and 19, I think Big Mamas, and it was rather ordinary. Not a repeat thing.

Very flavorful! Somebody knows something about Italian spices at this restaurant. I know it is not Tapas, but a couple of small slices of various pizzas and a glass of red Italian wine might satisfy your Mediterranean flavor urge. My favorite slice is the Boscaiola. I give it 4.4 stars, which is amazing given Pala's location and everything. Go! This place is surprisingly good.

My last two trips to Thailand has been on EVA business class, in which you get expedited service through customs and the wonderful, lay-flat sleeping seats. (On my previous 5 trips I flew their Elite class, which was quite nice.) But last April, as I approached the immigration stop, there was just one person, and they cleared out just as I reached the stop. So I was able to walk right up, zero wait, and get cleared in a minute. As you say, my checked bag was amongst one of the first to come out. I was probably on my way to Pattaya while the folks in cattle class on my flight were still waiting to be cleared.
BUT, the cost in a killer. I just checked prices for my upcoming return to LOS next November with EVA:
Cattle Class: $ 712.68.
Elite Class: $1,307.68.
Buss Class: $4,926.68.
Business Class seems to have escalated in the last year, making it even harder to justify. Elite class is still a bargain I feel. Business class has certainly spoiled me, but for us mere mortals, the approx $3,600 higher price over Elite class, and $4,200 higher prices than Cattle class, is very very difficult to justify. For a two week trip, that adds up to over $250 per day! That can pay for a lot of Soi 6 and WS agogo girls!
I think I have enough points with EVA / Infinity to get a free upgrade to Business Class for my November trip, so I can put of the decision on whether to continue with Business class off until next year.
But the added cost for Business class is not insignificant. If you can justify it, it is wonderful, but far be it from me to tell you what is "justifiable" for you.

Posts: 12856Tapas?
Can anyone recommend a really superior tapas restaurant in Bangkok? I have been to some super ones in Europe recently so missing the Flavours that really hit you.
I don't want a pretend Tapas place where food seems similar to Thai, Italian, Japanese, etc. Nor one where many dishes have the same pre prepared tomato sauce. Quality special taste is what I want, and low carbs dishes too. E. g. Boquerones, Pimientos Padron, Gambas Ajillo, champinones al ajillo, special duck and pork dishes, etc.

Posts: 491July-August ticket prices.
While I tend to agree with you about escaping lower European temperatures during Nov-Feb period, on the opposite side I noted that this coming July and August flight prices to BKK are really high compared to other years. Normally I fly either Emirates or Lufthansa but both quoting above 900 euros, Lufth even over 1 k. Even Turkish airlines known for their bargains have rates in the region of 900 euros.
