Waldorf Astoria Bangkok {THA}
Hi All

Thanks in advance

I would not bet on an opening in January 2018. It was scheduled to open in 2015 before. ;-)
@robnc35: I recommend to wait with your plans until the soft opening starts. Maybe they will have special offers for that period. Of course there will not everything be perfect during the soft opening, but from my point of view a new and fresh WA can be fun even when it's not all perfect yet.

I would not make a decision before you know more about the WA, since the Bangkok market is in heavy competition hotels are kind of generous with benefits for loyal guests.
But I would guess the WA will be in a total different league pricewise then the other Hilton properties in Bangkok. Anyhow interesting to know that there will be a new choice soon.

It seems quite late for the property not even to be listed as "coming soon" but maybe they are being overly cautious given the previous delays.
I suspect that this hotel won't be all that expensive - there will be times when it is, but probably in the $200/night range vs. $120-150 for the Conrad.

As hotel prices in BKK moved up in the recent years and the hotels try to keep the level a price war like in the past is not what we can expect.
