First lounge access
Hi,
I will be arriving to BKK fromIST TK first class and connecting to SIN in biz. Will I be able to access the first class lounge with my boarding pass from my completed First class flight, or will I only have access to the business class lounges?

I think you should expect only access to the Biz (Royal Silk) lounge(s), but stop by the F lounge and try to enter if you wish.
Whether or not you gain access, you certainly won't have access to the 30 min massage in at the Spa (for TG biz/F pax and must be departing on TG metal).
If turned away from the F lounge, do consider camping out at the SQ Lounge - better offering IMHO, although there is not a toilet inside....
Cheers, TK

Access to the Thai business class lounge is available. Sometimes if the lounges are full and you arrive on TG First they will spread the load and access you into the F lounge. It happens yet not too often

Your onward flight on TG in biz will gain you access to the main Concourse D THAI Royal Silk lounge, and to the THAI Spa for a 30 min foot or head/shoulders massage (but not the full 1 hour spa treatment - F only).

Related question - sorry if this has been asked and answered before; I just haven't been able to find it...
Is the Royal First lounge only for those passengers in F on TG metal - i.e. if you were departing BKK in first class on another carrier, to which lounges would you have access?

Non *A F pax have no right of access to THAI F lounge.
That said, I've had no trouble hosting a colleague into the F lounge when he was on QF C. This was around 4 years ago, and I suspect that this kind of flexibility has declined.
