Article: Bizarre Airline Lounge Access Restrictions at Bangkok Airport

I was at BKK yesterday, flying SQ as a Star Gold with UA. Of course I had access to the SQ lounge, which is OK, if not prone to overcrowding.

However, I thought I'd test if the apparent new "rules" were being enforced, and so visited one of the (somewhat improved) TG lounges. I was welcomed with open arms, so obviously Thai seems quite happy to admit Star Gold flyers form other Alliance airlines, if they are on an eligible flight.

Perhaps the airport authorities have had a rethink, based on feedback?
