Perhaps I should arrive by taxi then as a test of their service. At a luxury hotel the mode of arrival transportation should affect service.

I don`t think a guest of any hotel should have to do anything to demonstrate that they are "in" A good hotel treats everyone properly, and knows who its staying guests are without their having to do anything.

At the rate I will be paying relative to other top BKK hotels, I would expect to be treated very well even if I chose to arrive in a tuk-tuk.

I was just at the hotel for lunch last week when I was in BKK, and was greeted very warmly when I arrived by Taxi, so I don`t anticipate any problems.
