I'll be flying out of BKK in Singapore Air business class - wondering which lounge folks would recommend. Beyond the SilverKris lounge, it seems I have access to Thai and EVA as well. I've been in the Thai lounges - does EVA beat them and SilverKris?
Thanks for your thoughts, people. That all fits with the few reviews I found online. Yes, looks like the EVA lounge is away from the usual SQ gates but might be worth the stroll to check out the apparently Tron-like interior design!
None of the TG J lounges are that great. I quite liked the SQ lounge there - very quiet, peaceful, nice view over the gardens and plenty of hot food options.
The new Eva lounge is the best Star Alliance option. Unfortunately none of the Star Alliance lounges offer champagne though, while Cathay (Emirates for QF holders on EK) and the One World lounges do.
I'm writing post from the Eva lounge mentioned on this thread.
I'm on TG, with enough extra time to walk down from the middle of the terminal to the far end where the lounge is located.
As has been mentioned by me and others, this lounge is probably to far for those on SQ unless they have a lot of time.
That said, this lounge is superior to the SQ lounge. Also to the TG lounge, unless your stopping for a massage. But if you are on TG and here early you could do both.
This Eva lounge is quite good. It has a new feel, in stark contrast to the falling apart feel you get from TG AND SQ.
The food is a lot better, both in terms of selection and quality. This, to me, would be the main reason to make the trek.
The drinks selection is on par with the SQ lounge. There is beer on tap here, don't recall if SQ had that.
Bottom line, if your gate is between area D (the middle of terminal) and F (the far end opposite SQ gates); the Eval lounge is worth a lack of you have 45 minutes or more until boarding.
It is the best of the *A lounges at BKK.

Agree that the SQ lounge isn't much, just better than the TG.

I've yet to try EVA, but I spend quite a bit of time in SQ (quite good, light, decent food/booze), and TG which is notably unspectacular.

Flew through in August 15. If you're on a Thai flight you can get a free massage in one of the lounges.
