I was on the 08.45 but when I looked a couple of days ago I could only see 2 departures and I had been rebooked on the 02.30 the following day for some reason.
I can see 3 departures now though, perhaps it was still working its way through the schedules when I first looked. I'm still on the 02.30 though so shall have to contact them.
Shame the breakfast time flight has gone, that was a good one to get where you were going on the same day.

Miracle Lounge no matter what day of the week. Sakura Lounge (until 1:25am) if flying on a Wednesday, Friday or Sunday. Many more food and drink options in the Sakura but the Miracle is fine if all you want is snacks, a cold beer and somewhere to relax.

I managed about half an hour in the Sakura lounge this week before closing time. Then moved on to the Miracle lounge which was like a zoo; there was a reasonable amount of food, but the staff were surly.

First of all it's a very long walk from the lounge to the gate.
The lounge was dirty. Food scraps all over the floor and I'm not exaggerating.
It was very full and besides the lounge reception, staff were very unfriendly. Special shout out to the server at the Chicken Rice station.
Toilets are dirty and reeks of smoke.

I think you were a bit unlucky.
I suspect that one's experience of the Miracle lounge may depend on what time one is there. I've been there early-mid-morning a couple of times recently, and while it has been busy, I've always been able to find a space to sit; I've found the food offering pretty good; and, at that time of day, it was looking pretty clean and tidy with no smell of smoke in the toilets.
Sure, if the Sakura Lounge is open, it's a better option, but most of the time it's not!

I think Qatar used to have 6 flights per day to Bangkok in 2019, now it's back up to 3 per day. Perhaps when the frequency gets up to 4 per day, they'll see fit to re-open their lounge.
I can't see Cathay re-opening their lounge any time soon, with 0/1 flight per day currently

I don't know the Turkish Lounge, nor the Oman Air lounge (although I remember walking past that a few years ago and thinking it looked quite cool).
The Sakura lounge is good, but with very restricted opening hours.
My memory of the Air France-KLM Sky lounge is that it was pretty poor.
There isn't much to differentiate between a Miracle First and Miracle Business lounge, but they are fine if there's nothing better open.
I think your lounge choice will depend upon what's open when you're there. It would be good to hear back about the Oman and Turkish lounges on this thread.

From what I remember I enjoyed the Turkish lounge. Especially with the Turkish pizza that they had.
I will have a chance to lounge hop in a week or two at BKK so can share some experiences.

pre.covid I went to the Oman lounge. From memory it was small but had interesting and tasty Middle Eastern food and decent drinks. I would go back there if I Qatar haven’t opened their lounge. I walked in and straight out again of the Air France/KLM lounge as it didn’t look great.
