[Hotel Review] JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok

On By Satu KosongIn Bangkok, Executive Club Lounge, Holiday, JW Marriott, Marriott Bonvoy, ThailandLeave a comment

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!

[Hotel Review] Conrad Bangkok

On By Satu KosongIn Bangkok, Conrad, Executive Club Lounge, Hilton Honors, Holiday, Thailand2 Comments

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.

[Flight Review] Singapore Airlines SQ970 Singapore to Bangkok Boeing 787-10 – Business

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 am officially on my first mattress run. Yays(?).

In the word of miles and points, a classic mattress run is defined as “Booking and paying for hotel nights you do not usually need solely for the purpose of earning points, reward nights, and  / or elite status”.

[Hotel Review] Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square

On By Satu KosongIn Accor, Bangkok, Novotel, ThailandLeave a comment

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.
