IJ,
theres a huge difference when you are talking about these hotels. i always stay at westin grande, sheraton grande or jw marriott in BKK, and they are considered 5 star hotels on priceline.com, but when you get into the Peninsula, Oriental, and such, you are talking about far superior hotels. tops in the world

Paul,
Are you trying to impress Dodger's TG's sister with this, you sly dog?

If I am doing a couple of nights in BKK I am looking to try the president solitaire next time.. Suites with plasma TV's and all that jazz.. Fine for a couple of nights but if its 3 - 5 will probably be cheap and just use the Majestic suites..

i think the landmark hotel is a perfect choice , excellent staff , in prime location , good rooms.
for eg i got a shirt cleaned and it came back as if theyd been to a shop a bought a brandnew 1. un real service.

hey guysm thanks for advice. i booked the jw marriott. i did priceline.com and you have to take what they give you in star category you pick. if you pick 5 star, you usually get either westin or jw marriott. i got it for 45usd less than advertised on their website

Enjoyed My Stay
Quote:
Yes friend I have stayed in Oriental and Peninsula. Love the Oriental for its sheer luxury, service and the environment. They have some nice restaurants there. Peninsula also a great place to stay. Both are very expensive for a budget traveler but exceptionally good with the family. you will love your stay if you go with your wife or other family members. These places are family oriented and we can not go and stay with those BG IMHO  What ever it is Hotel Narai breakfast is still the best. its a Buffet and they will charge you Bht 450 (I think) if you are not staying there.In Mandarin Oriental try the Riverside Terrace for a buffet dinner or The Veranda for Breakfast. Also they have a nice chinese food at China House. My favorite Sala Rim Naam. Thai dinning. Wonderful. Go with your wife I am sure you will enjoy. Last edited by mandarin : 04-10-2005 at 09:50.

mandarin, have you ever eaten at Le Bernadin. it is the french restaurant in Oriental. suppose to be one of the top ten restauarnts in the world. how do you think i would be percieved if i took a tg with me. i told her i wanted to go there before, last year and told her shed really have to dress nice. i figured we would go buy a dress for her to wear. she told me she bought one and i was nervous because didnt know if it would be suitable for Le Bernadin. we ended up not going, but went to a beautiful italian restaurant and she blew me away with her dress. absolutley exquisite. so what i am asking is how do you think i will be percieved goign with a tg that will be dressed very classy

Marc26 I haven't tried le bernadin. missed it. Oriental has some great restaurants. My favorite is Sala Rim Nam because I am Thai food lover. also i have dinned in Ciao, Riverside Terrace and la Normandie. La normandie is a french cuisine and great night with the GF. They have some real great oregan Pinot Noir. Riverside terrace would be a great place for an early evening dinner and then retreat back to your room early  Overall you will never be disappointed with the meal, service or the atmosphere. I will certainly try Le Bernadin next time. Thanks for the insider clue.Re the dress, yes you make sure she is upto your standard. normally its very formal over there and you will be mixing with the Top tier thai clientale and decent farangs. If you go for a dinner lots of thai political heavy weights will be there with their family and friends. you don't want to be seen with a BG with 9" heels and tube tank top. Shoe is one important thing they always look. I am sure, with you she will be Ok.I used to live and work in BKK for some time and our favorite place Peninsula and Oriental for the evenings. Oriental has a great tennis court. Another best there is the spa. You can have some nice cakes and tea in peninsula. A casual evening and a decent dinner with your GF try BedSupperClub. Hope you will enjoy your stay in BKK. Wish you the best. If you need any info about BKK or Pattaya let me know and I will provide all the ifo I have. hope to meet you all soon in MTB. You have a great time Marc26.
