yosi, some questions regarding the Starwood Privilege. Did you have the Thailand Starwood Privilege card? Or did you use another country's card? Here is what I got from SP

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for your interest in Starwood Privilege. Please find attached a copy of our benefit, participating hotels and an application form Year 2009.

Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to contact me. (for the person who have resident in Thailand only)

Membership fee is 7900 THB net per year.

Yours sincerely,

Ms Jenny
Starwood Privilege Thailand


Does this mean that I have to be a resident of Thailand to get the Thai Starwood Privilege card?

Also, were the rates offered here https://www.starwoodhotels.com/promo...egory=GENDRE_R better than the Starwood Privilege accommodation rates? I went through the Starwood Privilege accommodation booking and although most offer free breakfast in the room rate, it doesn't reflect so when clicking on room discription/amenities in the next step!

Any thoughts? What was your preference?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
