I needed 7 stays to make platinum so decided to do it in Bangkok just to see whether it adds much value as gold has been a bit of a disappointment in the upgrade stakes.

I chose the loop so it flowed a bit but its a real disruption to move so frequently. Dropped a big bag off at the Westin which made it a lot easier. After BKK ended up doing 3 hotels in 3 days in China. Got my first suite upgrade on my platinum !

Pity I didnt know about the platinum challenge and the inclusion of other rooms booked in my name being counted as nights as I could have Platinum in September and would probably split my time between PA and LM. Myy wife likes the nightly entertainment around Patpong !
