Many thanx to all who contributed, I am now in the IC Bangkok, and it is a mixture of good and bad news. I arrived 8am and was afforded an early check in at no extra cost, impressed?
Chose to buy club access interestingly my paid night was charged an additional 1200++, however, the six pointsbreak nights attracted a supplement of 3200++
Breakfast was excellent as was afternoon tea, I am on my fifth glass of chardonay accompanied by adequate evening snacks......all in all whilst I was disappointed initially with 3200++ on balance it still affords excellent value given my room only cost 5000 pp points.
Room was upgraded to refurbished grand deluxe(If anyone is interested I will post photos), only downside is fairly stong smell of glue, a remnant from the recent refurb I suspect.
