If you are planning on spending a lot of your time at the resort, you should look into the Marriott Thailand Gold Card which costs approx. $200.00. You can find more information on this thread:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marri...-thailand.html
It includes a coupon for three nights at most Marriots in Thailand including the JW Phuket for a rate of approx. $100.00 per night incl. bkfst for two. So depending upon the rate you have, this coupon itself can pay for the card over a three night stay..You will still be entitled to your Plat benefits at this rate.
I just got back from there 3 days ago, so if you have any questions, PM me and I will try to answer them....

But should I contact the hotel directly to be sure?
Is there anything else we, as platinum members, should know?
Thanks!
