the problem is no cities other than bangkok are that consolidated.

I agree that it may help cut down on repeats and have some other plusses...thus why I believe it is worth keeping.
In regard to other cities, that's too bad that nothing else is consolidated. I seem to remember, though, that there are like 8-10 good threads on HKG, a couple on mainland China, 1-2 on Paris. But maybe they're more single hotel focused.
