About 5 years ago when entering the Thai Lounge in HKG, I noted a KC member and his guest were prevented from entry to the lounge with staff saying something like it was not a Star Gold card and so access was not allowed. That might have been correct or a staff mistake.
I can see that the NZ website clearly shows access is allowed into the Thai lounge at HKG, not surprising given the Air NZ traffic.
I recall as a KC member quite a few years ago I managed to bluff my way into a couple of non-NZ *G lounges, but was (correctly) tuned away in on most attempts.
