In a situation where we make a Category 2 points booking and have to be moved to a property in the city that costs more points, will the difference be charged?
... that's an idea!

I wasn't asking to game the system -- we have a 6 am flight out of BKK, hence a desire to stay here the night before, but if we're going to be charged more points to move back into the city (i.e., farther away from the airport), I'd seriously consider staying at a non-SPG property much closer to BKK instead.

To answer your question, IMO they should not charge you more. I'd take the situation as similar to "walking" a guest. However, I seem to recall instances posted here on FT where the booking was cancelled for certain reasons and no redress made.

Btw, I don't play golf, but can those who do tell me if this course sounds like it would be worth inviting people to play on?

An update. Hotel has replied to my query as to why it is now only allowing bookings from 16 Nov, and what will happen to my stay on 14 Nov.
"While construction is proceeding at a brisk pace, we have seen that some areas require some more time before unveiling this spectacular new hotel. Therefore we have decided recently to accept only bookings from the second half of November onwards to ensure we are able to accommodate our guest.
While there is still a possibility that we may open earlier, we may recommend at the moment to assist you in arranging a booking at our sister property, the beautiful Westin Grande Sukhumvit at westingrandesukhumvit.com and offer you the same opening offer amenities & rates you reserved with us or amend your booking to a stay at a later date."
I've emailed to confirm that C&P and Points-Only bookings will retain the same rate even though the Westin is a higher cat, but I suspect the answer will be yes.
Unfortunately, I don't fancy the Westin, so I'm cancelling my bookings. Good for those who do though!

Further update:
The LeM has replied by email to confirm that, as expected, they will absorb any difference in price or points should they be unable to honour reservations and have to transfer bookings to the Westin Grande Sukhumvit.

3000 Baht green fee
350 caddy fee
700 cart fee
400 caddy tip.
Caddies are mandatory. A cart is optional. If you don't get one, the caddy will use a push cart to carry your bag.
It is a very nice well-maintained course. I thought the fairways and greens were in perfect condition. All kinds of water and numerous bunkers.
Large modern clubhouse, and locker room use is included with the fees.
I wonder how much the fees will be raised once the hotel is open. Or maybe hotel guests will get member rates!
