Update - at checkin, we were given the usual Louis Tavern First Class voucher. We used it to get in the Miracle lounge (noticed the AY logo on the board), at the very beginning of the G concourse (way before the CX lounge, but on the right hand side). The receptionist said that we could also go to the lounge near G2, where they have showers and toilets, but we decided to try this one. Good sized and peaceful lounge with pancake machine 
A totally off-topic note - I had some superfluous Fast Track immigration cards that we used on our inbound (TG flight) I got in without incident, but the Mrs was lectured by the immigration agent that she's not supposed to use the Fast Track channel, if she flew in on TG but the invitation was issued by AY. In the end she passed, but said it was embarassing

Last time (April) I still could enter the Qatar lounge - which I find superior to the very good Cathay lounge since it s way quieter and you have a self service bar.

I am currently sitting in the Oman Air lounge at BKK. Near E gates, Diners lounge so should be relevant at least to AY+ Plats and most Golds (Priority Pass too, I think).
Better than most business class lounges, but inferior to many (true) 1st class ones. For instance, bubbly is good sparkling wine but not champage. One shower. At this hour almost empty of visitors.

(But in practice visit is fully free for AY+ Plats, and for Golds, too (except for the nominal DC annual fee) - assuming they have bothered to request the DC card. Alternatively I could have used my Priority Pass, I guess.)
I think this may be one the best lounge choices available at BKK for most AY etc pax, if not even the best.
- Cheers from on-board OH-LWA, AY-96 BKK-HEL.
BTW, beware: both last week and coming week AY-95/96 is (planned to be) operated with A-300, for Sun-Wed :-(

Overall impression after many other BKK lounges was positive, free of charge with AY DC card for Plats and Golds.
WY has 2 departures daily ex BKK and the lounge may be more crowded then but during our visit at 10:00 AM it was deserted.

I was turned away from the WY lounge with my black DC... went to the AF lounge instead, rather good one. They let me in even without a boarding pass, as the KQ transfer desk was not yet open at the time.

It is a very small lounge and could easily get (over)crowded and access restrictions may be reasonable, particularly before WY own departures at 09:00 AM and PM.
EDIT: didn't consider your note: "They let me in even without a boarding pass..."
They insisted to see my boarding pass (AY) when visited last month, this may be the reason of denial.

With WY we didn't even get so far as mention the bp, they just said that the DC lounge is the xxx lounge.
