A staycation and travel addict who tries to toe the balance between living the atas life and maintaining some resemblance of financial sanity.
This was the last segment of my whirlwind (okay fine, 3 days) Bangkok J trip. This is going to be a post with very little pics coz I was really feeling tired. Also didn’t want to repeat photos of the same cabin again.
I was so glad for the opportunity to fly J for this Bangkok trip as I was excited to try the SilverKris Lounge in Suvarnabhumi Airport.

When I realized my Amex KFA voucher was expiring in Dec 2019, I hatched a plan to use it without having to take leave. And the general consensus for the property to get the most value out of it is Conrad Bangkok.
But rooms look terribly dated then and I never ventured near since.
And so I thought it was timely that they have recently completed their extensive refurbishment so the stars were aligned.
Decided to do this quick review after all even though I have already done a more detailed post on the same aircraft when I tried the product for the first time in June this year. You can catch up on the post here.
I was curious to see if the service would still be as stellar on a shorter flight time. So here goes a 2.5 hour J experience!
So I decided to try a new hotel for this trip after trying IHG and Accor in this shopping and massage heaven city. It was timely that I was on my Marriot Platinum challenge and this was an easy 4-night stash to clock.

After redeeming my miles for Bangkok (25,000 miles on SQ), I decided to stay in Siam area for the 4days this time as interestingly, I’ve always stayed at other areas as Siam hotels are always super busy (and expensive!).
The hotel has been running for ages but they have also recently undergone a much needed refurbishment. The pictures shown online from late 2017 onwards seems to present modern Novotel touches all across, quite nice indeed.

And of course I once again stalked the Accor 40% Super Sale to secure this place at a superb deal for my 4D3N leisure trip with a slightly different agenda, other than shopping and eating hehe.
Prior to arrival, I had emailed the hotel to enquire about the upgrade in accordance with my Accor Gold membership and responses were prompt – was told they will try their best for me.
