Irrespective, comparing an F Lounge to a J one, is obviously going to throw up different comparisons.
Comparing the CX Lounge at BKK to the QR Lounge, is a far more realistic comparison, especially as both are OneWorld partners - and the CX Lounge was frequented by those who knew they could go elsewhere than the TG J spaces (within Opening Hours of the lounge)

LoL... your the one who is “not accurate.” Yes, the TG Lounge your referring is a separate room off the regular Royal orchid lounge but the main Royal First Lounge has semi private living rooms within the lounge. The place QR was sending it’s first passengers that you are referring is a very low end space.

Most often the E lounge left side. Showers are excellent, food and drinks OK, furniture is old so what?. Never found that F part, maybe right side E lounge? Was platinum last year and thought I could get in.
Last time I visited the right hand side lounge there was a private affair in their private rooms.
Yes, I disliked the TG D lounge.
Spent some time in much worse lounges: BA in BRU, YUL Nat Bank lounge, CPH Aspire food got me sick for 24h, that was really ugly. (leaving lounge had to run and did not make it to the bathroom)
Leaving on QR J late April, will try the new lounge.

this is a carrier main hub lounges. TG main F lounge is good, not great but good imo. Food is good, but i don't like the space of the lounge or the semi 'private' rooms, but that is compensated by the spa treatments. Regarding their C lounges they're below average imo, look at CX or SQ. Yes there are worse lounges around, but while I wouldn't go out of my way to spend extra time in the main TG F lounge, I would definitively try to do half my work day in the FCL or FCT in FRA/MUC when I have a late departure.

There are so many better lounges. FCT at FRA, The Pier at HKG, Al Mourjan and Al Safwa at DOH, the new QR lounges at CDG and LHR, QF F lounge at SYD, F lounge and Concorde Room at LHR T5, etc., are all much better, IMO.
IMO, there's very little about TG which doesn't feel like it's trying just soooooo hard to play in the big leagues; but they just can't quite pull it off.

Let's try and steer things back to QR, and away from TG.
Has anyone found the lounge to be busy yet?

^ Sorry, I'm one of the offenders. 
I'm a little confused by the comments here. At CDG and LHR, available dining is both buffet style and sit-down, order-from-wait-person-off-a-menu style. (And, IMO, both were very, very good at both airports.) Does the new BKK lounge have both buffet and restaurant style? If restaurant style is available, would someone post a menu, please?

I think it's important to add a little perspective.
BKK is the home of TG, and thus their lounge complex should be better than that of QR, and indeed any airline.
The Semi-Private rooms you mention, are not situated in the TG Lounge that QR has an agreement with, and so those spaces aren't necessarily relevant.
