If booked on one ticket under TG, then there is hope. I see from a dummy booking that the SGN-BKK sector books into U class (TG Premium Economy, or WE Smile Plus), and that Thai Smile offers Plus passengers lounge access.
It is not clear how a TG ticketed flight would be treated, but presumably lounge access will be included.

With comments like that, then yes, pretty much 
- last time I checked (granted, pre-covid nonsense) KBV did have a TG lounge. And I have never been given a coffee shop voucher for a TG/WE flight in my life. Though I don’t travel economy so could not possibly say from that angle..

According to Star Alliance rules, No (unless there are special arrangements.)

You probably should set expectations low, and ask politely at the lounge.

It’s WE code. Of course expectations are low and if not it’s no problem. My hope was if the nearby countries slowly open up TG will take this routes back and fly with a widebody by himself.

Short discussion at the TG lounge but then granted access as MM*G.
The way back however was more difficult. They did not want to give access at the SGN partner lounge.
