A staycation and travel addict who tries to toe the balance between living the atas life and maintaining some resemblance of financial sanity.
Continuing on my Accor Platinum rush heh.
With a short getaway with the family in mind, I stumbled upon an (in my opinion) unbelievable rate for a Raffles property so no fight it is, especially with a special occasion happening.

This is my first non-Bonvoy trip of the year!
After plotting out my Bonvoy Titanium renewal, I decided to focus on Accor in an attempt to see if I can regain my long lost Platinum status. And in line with my obsession with new-ish hotels, I was super happy to find an Accor property that was offering rather reasonable rates even for an Executive Room so that sealed the deal yay.

This property has been on my list ever since it re-opened following the extensive renovation in 2023 – I mean the property looks drop-dead gorgeous and such an improvement from its former life which I tried in 2021. The experience wasn’t bad but there wasn’t any denying that the hardware needed a refresh.
And of course, Hau65. Who says no to free flow Ruinart bubbles all day?

Terracotta Tripping 2024
This I believe was the score price for my trip!
Wasn’t able to find much detailed reviews about this property from my research other than that on TripAdvisor (and even so, Dec 2023 being the last review) so hopefully this will help someone else 🙂

My first trip back to this city after COVID!
It was an atas sibling trip this time and of course I had to clock in more Bonvoy elite nights. I have to say that the Bonvoy options in this bustling city can be overwhelming and I decided on this property due to the fact that its recently renovated, offers decent proximity to the BTS Stations, the great reviews I saw while researching, plus a later evening cocktail timing (until 9pm) which I needed as my flight will only be landing in BKK at 1700. Onwards to a great stay!

This was an impromptu trip to clock more Bonvoy double elite nights and figured I will do a short review of the property. I stayed here ages ago so its also worth seeing if the property is holding up okay, being the only Bonvoy property in the city. This was also a short stay so this review will also be rather condensed.
