And this pinoy 2 piece was good, with charbo singer impressing me with her singlish (worked Sg 3 years). Was the only asian face amongst all the farang faces (if you exclude their partners). 3 big Singha pints @541bt plus free food dish thrown in.

Thanks for the report. I was there recently too. Nice thing about the new Silver Kris lounge is finally, there are toilets. The old one near the A gates had none and you had to walk outside. Unfortunately still no showers though and it closes at 10:30pm (or sometime around that)

You should also try the EVA lounge at F1 a short walk away. It is also pretty nice and has 2 showers and closes at 3:30am. Both beat the TG lounges (the non first class ones) in my opinion.
