I just visited the new BKK SilverKris Lounge late last month. It is a very impressive lounge, with the new "Home Away from Home" decor.
The Lounge Entrance...
Seating...
Full bar and dining area...
Large F&B selection comprising both international and Asian selections.
Signature cocktails and dishes include Singapore Slings (mixed to order)...
...and Laksa...
The lounge is a lot larger than the previous SQ lounge in BKK.
One of the more impressive SQ outstation lounges I have visited. It was not busy when I was there on a Saturday afternoon, although I have heard it can get crowded at peak hours on weekdays. As others have mentioned, no showers in the lounge, although there are restrooms.
More pics can be found here (Link to external SQTalk site.)

Some additional pix
I was @ BKK in the early morning of 6/28 & took some pix as well.
I would have thought that someone would have posted some pix on here soon after the lounge opened in May but nobody did (although there are reviews on other sites).
Anyway, the lounge was serving breakfast when I was there so I thought I'd post some pix of the breakfast items. The noodle dish was "mie rebus", & I think all the staff at the lounge are really excellent!
p/s I read your trip reports on SQTalk & I think they are awesome.
Thanks for taking the time to write them, I know it's quite time consuming.
Just curious, have you ever had a bad meal on SQ?

Yes, these things take time to write, but I find writing them to be a great way to destress, and also to remember what I did on those trips!
Well they overcooked my steak once on a business class flight from ICN to SIN, but service recovery was prompt and excellent! Apart from that, I've never been a fan of their egg omelette breakfasts in Y (Bland and boring -- the Asian Y breakfast choices are usually better), and as mentioned in the BKK TR, they tend to err on the conservative side of flavours sometimes, but otherwise, I've been quite happy with SQ catering. I mean, how often do you get fillet steak served in an economy meal? :-)

IMO it's the best *A lounge at BKK. Excellent food. I don't like the BR lounges, and BKK is no exception. Weird seating, unappealing food.
TK lounge got some pretty unfavorable comments in the TG forum (which is where you'll find the most active discussion of BKK lounges).

My main complaint is if you are sitting in the wrong spot (and sometimes gets quite full so no choice) it can get very noisy with announcements from the terminal and even the ubiquitous (at BKK) “End of the walkway” reminder percolating into the lounge!

You even get that in the TG F lounge.
