Two(2) Royal Silk Lounges at Concourse C, Level 3 – have the same facilities as Royal Silk Lounge at Concourse D, with the seating capacity of 137 in each lounge. These 2 lounges have been specifically designed for transit passengers to relax and refresh themselves prior to catching the flight.

FTL Silver is the same as Star Alliance Silver. *A Silver has no lounge access benefits (if travelling in economy class), I'm sorry. I know that LH allow lounge access, but only for LH lounges. Other *A airlines do not allow, nor does LH allow *S into their lounges IIRC.
You need to be HON Circle or Senator (ie Star Gold) for lounge access for *A members.

If anyone is arriving soon would appreciate a check to see if it's open or looking to be open, as I'll also be traveling again at the end of this month and might use it if it's open and I plan ahead.

A Thai silver card is fairly pointless, as far as I can tell. You start getting benefits at Gold level.

I think the only thing after it is the restrooms.
