In regard to F, LH and LX have 1 flight a piece during the late night stampede and everyone else comes from TG. Unless I'm missing something?!?
Is the lounge filled with LH HON and TG*P?

IMO the PG lounge was better than any of the *G/C TG lounges. The food is rubbish or worse at the latter, they don't have bottled water (which I'd always carry on the plane as a back-up) and they aren't comfortable.
The only aspect for which I'll give TG credit is checking-in while in C (and though I haven't flown their F, likely that too). That process works.

so that is together minimum 8 flights with F with max 8-12 passengers
everybody could take one guest
then of course the LH HON and TG*P (I admit, often flying only C)

For those who don't know, there is another TG F class lounge nearby the E gates . It is a very small one, secluded in the C class lounge , with a much smaller food and drink selection , but always very quiet.
Icing on the cake is that it is very near to the G gate where a lot of the A 380 flights to Europe seem to depart from .

I have priority pass with unlimited visits.
Security for connections was an absolute zoo also - plus a lot of people jumping the queue. I have nothing against flying on TG, but really not keen to connect at BKK.

PG's Blue Ribbon lounge, for C class passengers, is infinitely better than TG's. F&B requests are taken at your seat, prepared to order, and served to you. And the food is quite tasty as well.

If you were considering breakfast at the TG C lounge, here is the western breakfast selection that was on offer last time I was there. That's right, hard boiled eggs and some sort of processed ham product, floating in water and grease.
Bon appétit!
