???
They scan the QR code on your ticket, and not just "looking" at a printed BP

Qantas is long goneeee.
For 3pm departure, I'd stick to Cathay.

What would you do in a party of 3 with 2 in business and one in economy for lounge access?
a. Pick the best possible lounge and pay for the the third lounge access or
b. pick a lounge that accepts both Finnair business and PriorityPass for access?

What would the best option be for a / b in your opinion?

depending on how long you plan on staying and what your budget is...

Personally I would not pay much for lounges in BKK that accept paid access...

If there for 1 pr 2 hrs the PP lounges are fine IMO... the only lounge I would pay for there is pethaps QR

CX-lounge

I think I read for some months ago that Cathay didnt let in other than its own passengers. Have this changed back to normal ?

Appears so, yes. No issue accessing today prior to AY144 (lounge very empty too).

Immigration

Hi
Whats the fastest way to get through the immigration when arriving in J with Finnair ?
is there still a Priority lane/Fast track which is normally better than the regular one ?

There is a priority line on the right hand side. Just show your boarding pass and you are good to go.

It's a bit difficult to find. When you reach the immigration queue setup, look to the right. There is a sign saying "Thai passports". Follow that path. Nobody will question you even if you don't look Thai. Once you are up close to the booths, an agent will be there to check your papers. Show the agent your BP and they will let you through to the booths.

Exactly like this. There is no sign nor text; priority. Just follow the signs which state; Thai Passport and show your J-class BP if you get stopped.
