IIRC Pickles mentioned arriving by private car ensures an appropriate greeting.
I was showing a colleague around Bangkok and wanted him to see the Oriental. We were both in shorts and polo shirts (not particularly fancy labels). We did arrive in a chauffeured car (either a BMW or Mercedes). No trouble walking in and having a clerk show us a few rooms and around the property.
