Reading this I am not sure I will visit the TK lounge next month.
I rather will put SQ and BR on my priority list. (have *A G status now)
Strange people complain that much re the TG lounges.
I used to fly EY and QR from E gates (no *A status) and have used the left hand side TG lounge a lot (did not like the rigth hand side lounge)
But yes, avoid D lounge, they are renovating right now?
Food and drinks have improved a lot during 2018 and I always enjoyed a shower there, a lot better than DBX, DOH or IST, never a wait.
TG E lounge never crowded and seats could use to be renewed.

Save your time at SQ or BR lounge. Most BKK PP lounges are much better than this new TK lounge in terms of food options. Just visited on 3/24 before my SQ flight and really not impressed at all. Only plus is quiet vs very packed SQ lounge. I don't think I would give it a second chance.

I just stopped by yesterday before a midnight flight to Tokyo and it was a bit of a horror story.
Small stuff first:
I washed my hand hastily and bolted out. Somebody was waiting to use the shower, so I told him not to until somebody cleaned it. I informed a lounge attendant that the drain is clogged, then ran away to the comfort of BR lounge next door.
Small stuff first:
- The IT system doesn't seem to be working (shocking!) and the attendants have to photocopy every boarding pass and writing down frequent flyer number on a piece of paper.
- Food seems lacking, especially in comparison to SQ, which I also stopped by for the first time yesterday.
- Nice Turkish coffee and tea options
- Seating was quite nice

Just visited. To add to previous comments:
1) Apparently open 24/7 (I asked reception)
2) Hot food stops at 12:30am. After that you can get instant noodles and sandwiches
As noted previously, the one solitary shower is simply a stall in the bathroom.

smile & smell
I have a change to visit this new lounge once. It was quite impressed by the decoration and view. in side the lounge you will see the glass corridor along with seats, I can see airport wing with a good smell of Turkish pizza. Too bad that it not came out a lot compare to number of passengers. Anyway what i like most is the staff in the lounge. They smile and give you a good service. on that day i used the bathroom facility. You have to request to the staff and they will booking the time for use and bring towel to you. And again you have to wait for 15 minute for other passenger and staff to clean the bathroom for you. My opinion is it a nice place to rest from a bad traffic to airport and get ready before long flight. may be i came early 10.00 am it's not so many passengers

turkish airline lounge
I used there one and i felt very comfortable. well designed and organized.
I enjoyed snacks there which was totally enough quality to wait for my flight.
The staff told me my flight is coming so it was also very helpful.
Thank you and hope to use again.

Greetings from the TK Lounge in BKK - had some time to stop by today on a layover.
Luckily, I have no "horror stories" to tell - it is actually a nice, solid and quiet lounge.
At this time (noon) the lounge is very quiet, maybe 5 visitors in total.
While the food options are basic (but still good! Especially the green curry, turkish pide - which was more of a cheese pizza, and turkish tea), I really value the quietness of this lounge (nice garden view from the windows).
Staff was very friendly, WiFi worked perfectly.
I also used the shower room - it was basic, but clean.
Overall a good alternative to other, more crowded lounges in BKK! I would certainly come back!

Agree with others, not an impressive lounge. It was quiet today, but food selection is poor. I think the only upsides are the feta-like cheese in the salad bar and sparkling wine in normal bar. The SQ has much better food, and BR is much quieter (and their Tom Yum, when available, trumps the other lounge foods for me :-)).
Staff is nice though but way too many of them for what they are doing (nothing) so the girls were mostly focused on how hard they can step of the floor tile before it starts to peel off... :-)
