SA Lounge as VA Gold

[Strongarm]

Hi all, I'm sure someone here will be able to answer this easily.

The mrs and I are flying Singapore Airlines (economy) from Perth to Bangkok. We also have a 2 hour stopover in Singapore both ways.

I am Velocity Gold, I have no status with SA

My question is, do we have access to the SA lounge in Perth, Singapore & Bangkok using my VA Gold status? If so, Do we have access to the SilverKris or KrisFlyer lounge, or both?

Thanks for your help,

Strongarm

Yes to all three airports as there are lounges operated by SQ in all three. But in SIN only the KrisFlyer Gold lounge.

Yes, you will have lounge access at all three ports (I do this run as a VA Gold myself quite a bit). In Perth and Bangkok you'll have access to the SilverKris lounge (which is the only lounge Singapore Air has in those cities) and in Singapore you'll get access to the KrisFlyer Gold lounge (there's one in Terminal 2 and one in Terminal 3).
I'd describe the lounge in Perth and small and windowless, it's sort of OK but badly needs replacing now that they're up to four flights a day and are the largest international carrier out of Perth.
In Singapore both the KrisFlyer Gold lounges are good, but they both lack showers unfortunately. Still, in Singapore airport it's very easy to get a shower for a few dollars if you'd like one. The lounge in Terminal 3 is a bit nicer than the one in Terminal 2. Leave lots of time to walk to your gate or check where your gate is relative to the lounge in advance, Singapore airport is HUGE and it can easily take you 15 minutes to walk to a distant gate in the same terminal.
The lounge in Bangkok is quite nice and well equipped, I'd describe it as pleasant with a good view and quite comfortable.
