If I recall correctly the old SQ lounge at BKK had a sign about restricting access. I can't remember the exact text or restrictions but I seem to recall it was basically saying we reserve the right to restrict access to those on SQ metal if we want to. I was Star Gold flying SQ Y and was not restricted. I have not been in the new SQ lounge that opened several months ago in a new location closer to the EVA lounge.

Used the BKK SQ lounge a couple of days back, traveling TG J, no problem whatsoever and it was pretty busy. Way, way better than the tired old TG lounges and much better food and beverages on offer.

A *A C/J ticket holder is free to use any A* C/J/*G lounge regardless of airline.
Said *A C/J ticket holder is not given guest privileges however which is a difference to being a *G pax.
