Also, I was not asked to produce my 50% off voucher. And, yes, the rate was applied to all three nights of my stay. (Understand that I'm not trying to resurrect the discussion that took place in the Voucher thread; I'm just providing another data point.)

It would be great if the new Marriott starts giving breakfast in the restaurant. I'll be there in a few days and will let you know what happens.
Yellow-shirt violence: I never said that they were equally violent as some of the red-shirts at the peak in 2010 (ugly stuff...that got really bad). But they clearly can be violent: Ping ping bombs, throwing rocks, talking of 'seizing' Bangkok, seizing gov't buildings and the zoo, cutting off power, preventing candidates from registering, beating a taxi driver into coma for complaining about traffic, burning buses, destroying gov't vehicles, stealing equipment from police vehicles, commandeering TV stations, threatening the media, and more. I dare you to wear a red shirt and call them something bad in Thai. Visitors should know that this is not the kind of demonstration you'd see in Washington D.C. That's all I'm saying on this topic.

Post an update on the free brekkie when you get to the property.
And a gentle reminder to everyone that this is a hotel forum, not a who's protesting & what color shirt are they wearing forum. FT has a Thailand forum, so if folk want updates on what's happening re: protests I'd recommend they check that forum so that this thread can stay on topic re: properties. TIA.
Cheers.

Because this thread became so extremely long and unwieldy, I moved everything from 2014 forward (346 posts right now) into their own thread:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marri...4-present.html
I'm going to rename and close this thread, which will remain available for historical purposes.
Please note that many of the individual hotels in Bangkok have their own threads.
