11 Apr - Royal Orchid Sheraton, Bangkok

Check-in at this hotel was simple. Staff here was very polite, and I was given a room with a river view on a SPG floor. Most floors of the higher section of the hotel were SPG floors (lower floors have a separate set of lifts). The room was directly opposite the Millennium Hilton was near completion.

I picked this hotel for its ease to get to the major tourist sites. All one had to do was to walk out the hotel, take a right, and there's the pier for the river boat. There was also a free shuttle to a Skytrain station. Looking at the cliente of the hotel, it's certainly more of a tourist hotel...

Breakfast was pretty good. It'd a decent of range of Western and Eastern food and a range of tropical fruit. The first morning the staff asked whether I wanted to redeem 750 SPG points for the breakfast, I agreed. The breakfast was USD$10, but it might be a tad expensive, but I felt it was OK. I couldn't say I regretted it...

Check-out after a couple of days was simple. It took about 2 minutes... I thought of catching the shuttle and Skytrain to my next hotel, but I just missed one, and the next one wasn't another 40 minutes away... I gave up and caught a taxi instead...
