Question Checking in at 8am (Bangkok)

Hi all,

I will be traveling to Bangkok in December and I will be landing at 6.30 am. I have not yet decided where to stay but I was thinking to book a suite at the Marriott Sukhumvit. Initially I was thinking of booking the room since the previous night but reading the forum I noted that: 1) sometimes there are issues when checking in well after midnight (being counted as a no-show) and 2) in general, at least in Bangkok, hotels are very good at honoring early check-in requests. Were it not for potential no-show issues I would rather not risk it. What would you advise? just contact the hotel and explain the situation?

By the way, the largest bookable room in the period I am interested in is a one-bedroom suite. We are 3 adults, so maybe that is enough. But I would not mind a 2 bedroom suite (perhaps as an upgrade :-) ). I am Bonvoy Platinum, and I might get to Titanium by the end of the year. Thoughts?
