Singapore Airlines offers a comfortable outstation SilverKris Lounge in Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), with a generous selection of food and drinks plus comfortable seating.
Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge Bangkok Review (BKK)
This lounge is open daily from 6:30 am to 11:00 pm and available to:
- Star Alliance Gold members (including KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members)
- PPS Club requires S$25,000 in spending within 12 months, earned via Business, First, or Suites class flights
- Star Alliance business and first class passengers
Paid access is not available.
You’ll find the lounge on Level 3 opposite gate D7 in the main terminal and will be greeted by a very beautiful entrance with blue marble and backlit flowers.
Seating
This isn’t a huge lounge and seating can get crowded, as it was for me at 5:00 pm in the afternoon. The lounge features a mix of seats, most of which had electrical outlets within easy reach.
Barista Coffee
Kudos to this lounge for hte barista coffee menu, though I did find the coffee better in the Thai Airways Royal Orchid Prestige Lounge located near security and passport control.
Food + Drinks
There’s certainly more than coffee available, including an extensive bar menu, other drinks, and plenty of food.
Food included spiced peanuts, various fried pastries, Pad Thai (looked good, but I was not hungry), salad bar, meat and cheese cold cuts, and Bak Kut Teh, a popular pork rib soup from Malaysia and Singapore, made by simmering pork ribs in a broth of herbs and spices like star anise, cinnamon, and garlic. It also looked great.
The bar area is the centerpiece of the lounge and is fully staffed, though you can pour your own beer from a tap in the buffet area. Other self-serve drinks include water (including coconut water in coconuts), coffee, tea, fruit juice, and soda.
Selections from the bar include Champagne (Piper-Heidsieck) plus a selection of wine and spirits (including cocktails on offer).
Restrooms + Showers
Both restrooms and showers are available, but the showers suites were all occupied, so I do not have any pictures of those. Request a shower key from the lounge reception and if necessary, you can add yourself to the waitlist.
CONCLUSION
I did not stay here long because the lounge was fairly crowded, but appreciated the nice selection of food and drinks plus the barista-made coffee. It’s nice to have so many Star Alliance Lounge options in Bangkok and I would not hesitate to return here, even though I do prefer the Thai Royal Orchid Prestige Lounge over this one.
My previous review, published on August 17, 2019, is below.
Modern, hip, and bright, the Singapore Airlines Lounge is a nice alternative to the Thai Airways Business Class Lounge In Bangkok.
Rather than rows of uniforms chairs, this lounge offers a mix of comfortable chairs, most with power outlets nearby.
A dining area adjacent to the buffet offers further seating.
Available food included Nasi Lemuni with the all the toppings, a salad bar, cheese, fruit, sandwiches, cereals, breakfast breads with preserves, fruit, yogurt, ice cream, and hot breakfast items (western, Singaporean, and Thai). Next to the self-serve coffee machine there was also a small refrigerator with Häagen-Dazs ice cream in it.
A full bar offered a choice of various liquors, but there was also barista-made available, Asahi and Singha beer, and water, juice, and soft drinks. There was even fresh coconut water in the refrigerator.
Restrooms were clean, but no showers are available in this lounge (that I saw). They were also on the small side (at least the men’s room) with only one stall…
CONCLUSION
This Star Alliance Gold Lounge is open daily from 6:30 AM to 11:00 PM. If you find the Thai Airways Business Class lounge is crowded, check this one out. Better yet, just head here first. Perhaps it too gets very crowded later in the day, but it was sparsely filled during my visit.

This definitely looks nicer than the Thai lounge…
Nasi Lemoni sounds like the dessert version of Nasi Lemuni 😉
Whoops! Thank you! 🙂
I was at BKK two weeks ago and did a mini lounge tour. The SilverKris is the best of the Star Alliance lounges (with an honorable mention to the EVA lounge). I’ve also been there when flying SQ (last year) and it was very busy. But I still found somewhere to sit and enjoy the food and a Sunset cocktail. It has the best food and the bar serves those cocktails.
The Thai (business class) lounges are very poor, and the Turkish lounge was rather bland. Btw, if you like fresh coconut water, the EVA lounge gives you the coconut.
They are so stingy about that Piper. Most of the time it’s not offered and it’s quite irritating. Why? Who knows… they do the same in SIN as well. Last 3 times in SIN & BKK they didn’t have it. Maybe stock?
Better lounge than the TG space since it’s so much quieter, outside of banks.
Cute pumpkin latte!
If you’d eaten something, you may have changed your mind about preferring the TG lounge … the food (and bak kut teh) in the SQ lounge is delicious! And the coconuts are a nice treat. I’ve never found it crowded but have never flown out after 3pm. I always try to reach the airport a couple of hours early to enjoy this lounge
SilverKris lounges (except for at changi where it’s KrisFlyer Gold lounges, just like for *G) are also available for SAS EuroBonus gold and above when flying SQ or SK
