Celestar340: Thanks for your info. Much appreciated. Sorry we'll miss you in BKK.
BTW, I was unclear in my earlier post, my wife and I are staying at the same hotel, we're just dividing our stay between the two. ...although your interpretation has its merits. Only kidding, Brigitte!
We are also debating whether to change the New World stay in favour of the Shangri-La. Any opinion?
Once again, many thanks.
