That hotel looks beautiful but it's $231/nt. Got any other suggestions for Bugis?
The Writer's Bar sounds great. I'd like to explore the Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok when I'm there. Evidently there's a writer's section and famously, Joseph Conrad and W Somerset Maugham have stayed there. Wish I could afford it!
