Yes there is baggage storage at Suvarnabhumi Airport, on the arrivals floor near door 3. So you could get rid of your bags for a while, go enjoy a coffee or meal at one of the restaurants on level 3, then meet your parents when they arrive.
Or you could head for the hotel and see what the possibilities are. They may be able to check you in early or if not they will likely be able to hold your bags until the room is ready and you can wander around the area for a while (best way to get over jetlag, walking around in the daylight).
The reason they told you they would charge you to reserve the room for early check in, because in order for you to have it at 8 am, they have to keep it empty the night before and therefore they lose the potential revenue for that room that night. And five star hotels are just as revenue conscious as a one star hotel.
But if you just show up in the morning and if the room wasn’t rented the night before, they maybe willing to check you in early.
And fwiw, if you had flown business class, you still would not have access to the lounges in Suvarnabhumi, as upon landing you have to clear immigration and customs right away, you can not wait in the departure area where the lounges are.
