F lounge access on overnight layover?
I look at the FAQ, and searched, but couldn't find this specific scenario.
I'm flying CX first LAX-HKG and have a 23 hour layover and then flying CX first the next day from HKG-BKK. I'm planning on just buying a bed at the Plaza premium lounge for the night, but am wondering if I'll have access to the first class departure lounges on the day that I arrive. Since I have a lot of time, I was hoping to do some lounge hopping.

Yes, you will have access to the lounge. They will take your lounge invitation and then put a stamp on your boarding pass allowing you to access any lounge you would like. I just flew ORD-HKG-CEBU roundtrip and had a long layover just like you did. The Wing closes around 1:30am, the Pier closes at 12:30. They both reopen at 5:30am.

To the op, please don't take offense to what I'm about to say. This topic has been discussed over and over and over again. Just search for it.

The private rest areas at $600 for the first three hours and then $100 per hour after.
I would definitely follow the previous recommendation of finding a hotel and seeing some of HK.
For instance the Hotel Bonaparte between Causeway Bay and Wan Chai generally has an online rate for $450. Note that it is a basic room only hotel

But this would mean you will be staying airside 23 hours, no?
Do you really want to do this?
What is the point of having a 23 hour layover if you stay inside the airport the whole time?
Also, when you arrive in HKG, do they allow you to enter airside when your connecting flight is the next day?

however, i'll add someone just a week or two ago reported not being able to get in the F lounge on such an itinerary.
