On MO BKK - I've never stayed. My only stays in BKK have been at the Pen and Siam. I did take the boat from the Pen to the Mo BK to eat at the bar, and I had no issues with the dress code. I thoroughly enjoy the meal I had no issues at the bar in the MO. The MO BKK is high on my list when I return to Bangkok. I was not floored by Siam or the Pen.
My apologies. I must have recalled wrongly. But few years back, there were several case of heated debate over MO BKK dress code. Some posters were expressing profound indignation for being prevented to enter either the restaurants or the hotel compound due to perceived failure to meet the official dress code, while other posters defended the hotel's policy. Those threads end up getting locked.
While I am all for hotel guests being allowed to enjoy the premise in more comfortable and casual clothing ( a suit and tie is really passe in this day and age ) and not being bothered by security, I wonder sometimes where does one draw the line? I have seen guests having breakfast dressing like they just walked off the beach, T-shirt, shorts exposing hairy legs and slippers. And no, that's not in a beach resort. It's in a 5-star luxury city hotel and yes, in London. Worse, occasionally they have to put their legs up on another chair and exposing their feet.
