Hi all,
My first stay at this hotel is coming up this week (arrival Sunday for almost the whole week).

I'm SPG Plat and wondering if they actually upgrade Plats to suites or just to a different level of service in the same room? I'm booked in the lowest category but I read a couple of pages back that grande, deluxe and luxury rooms are actually all the same room, just with different perks.

Based on the wiki it sounds like Plats will get the highest level perks of the luxury room even if I'm still assigned to a grande room. But do I have a shot at a suite? If so, do these upgrades normally come before/during check-in or should I ask? I know it doesn't hurt to ask but I'm wondering whether to expect one in advance or not is all.

Since I'm staying for 5 or 6 nights I'd appreciate the upgrade if they give it to me. I'll be working nearby and then spending the evenings in the hotel doing some more work or gym/pool as well. I've been to BKK many times but never for business so I've just stayed with friends in the past.

Thanks for your help.
