Yflyer,
Excellent review as always. I have flown the 787s a number of times on CA, NH and SQ, always in Y. The longest flight I have been on a 787 was 7 hrs. I never found them cramped, and I am probably larger in size than you.
Amongst the 4 StarAlliance Lounges, the food in Silver Kris BKK is without doubt the best, unfortunately it's also the most popular lounge, and the lull window is very short.
So I always end up in the EVA lounge as it only gets crowded (but never packed like Silver Kris) before the EVA flights, and EVA doesn't have as many flights to BKK as SQ. The decor is dark, and not to everyone's taste, but it has tarmac views, nice showers and comfortable massage chairs in an enclosed snooze room. Food wise, not as varied as SQ, but still decent. The downside is that it is at the F concourse, and SQ/TG to SIN are usually at D/C. So I need to head to the C gates much earlier than I would like to.
Turkish BKK is a let down. It's the newest lounge, least crowded during the day, bright and airy, but the food is very disappointing. They do offer a quiet room and you can opt for a 10min head/shoulder massage there.
Thai's lounges are in dire need of a revamp. Enough said.
If you have an ABTC card, please use the Priority Entrance next time. There are 2 such entrances at the check-in level (walk right past the escalator that leads to the upper level security checks).
This priority entrance is used by various category of passengers including ABTC holders. There's clear signage above the entrance listing eligible users of the priority lane. Just show your ABTC card, passport and boarding pass to the attendant manning the entrance.
I am always through to the air-side within 5 min.
