Tell them this is your special occasion. I'm quite sure that they will treat you well even without any SPG status.

I would recommend the river for a honeymoon, but Starwood has only one, the ROSH, which is ok, but not at the level of the 2 hotels I suggested.
The PA would also be a nice choice and is next to the newest shopping mall in BKK, with a bunch of nice food outlets.
The LMBKK is sleek and more subtle than the WBKK, but the Patpong area might not be the best area for what you are looking for.

Good luck & enjoy your trip!

i don't agree point with St.Regis BKK or C&P are not worth

I also agree with the other commenters who suggested non-SPG options given it's only two nights and Bangkok has some exceptional hotels at very reasonable rates. Personally I would look at what deals you can get on the Four Seasons, Sofitel So or the Peninsula.

Like other's above, the Plaza Athenee is a great choice. But, for if you're spending a lot of time in the room, both the Le Meridien and the Royal Orchid have great suites.
