Grande Centre Point Rajdamri, BKK

Finally tried this Centre Point but not much impressed.  The room is very big and in a nice deco., but the facilities are somewhat disappointing.  The location is a bit not convenient to me and I prefer Wireless/Ploenchit area.  In considering the large no. of rooms available in this big building, the swimming pool and restaurant should be at least 2-3 times bigger.  The front office is always in long line for check-in and out.

Tea with a view, a hot Sunday on Rajadamri, a cool chill out at St. Regis BKK

A nice high tea set at just THB1,050++ for 2, there I could get a cool escape from a hot Sunday afternoon for a nice view with Silom on the left and Siam on the right.  I don't mind taking a cup of hot peppermint tea as recommended. 

Courtyard by Marriott, Bangkok, Thailand

Courtyard by Marriott close to Rajadamri BTS station and just opposite to Grand Center Point and behind Four Seasons. Inside the small soi, you can go to Lang Suan in 2-3 minutes. Location-wise, it's pretty good and yet it's very quiet. On its first few month opening, CX has a special package for 2 plus 1 (3 nights in total) at HK$2,180 but no longer available now as this hotel is getting more popular. The new package price is at around HK$2,5xx and I think it's still a good buy.

1/2. the room inside - quite spacious and the design is very user-friendly.

3/4. Standard TV and it's lucky that I got a 2 sided window suite.

5/6. the bathroom - I kind of like it as everything is jut in a nice position and very user-friendly.

7. the mini-bar and luggage area. 8. view to Lang Suan.

9. view to the residential and serviced apt. bldg/10. another view to the neighbouring bldg.

11/12. the lobby/reception area.

13. the swimming pool. 14. Marriott serviced apt. on Lang Suan.

Momo Cafe vs. food court

You may wonder why this title is and how come a hotel restaurant outlet can be compared with a food court? Yes, this nice lunch set is just THB160 net. If you go to any food court, order a half roast chicken, that's almost THB100 or above, not to even mention the side salad, the snack and iced tea. If you have a Marriott Gold card for a pay 1 less dining benefit, then it will be a further 50% off, which is THB80 net for one person. What can you say? Besides, the food is very nice.
