Still, somewhat surprising.

Are other 5* hotels in Bangkok making a similar change? Have they already?

Four Seasons BKK has switched to THB pricing as well.

Anantara Chiang Rai was priced in THB. And SPG properties have all been switching over to THB from USD over the past year.

The is certainly a trend away from USD pricing in Thailand right now.
