I can only say really good things about my many experiences at Conrad Bangkok over the years.
This is one of my favourite hotels and we usually get very well taken care of.
Being Diamond and double digit stays may help but I always look forward to staying here.

I've just asked Jermyn a question. He answered me and I was fine with his answer. Actually I appreciate his investment of time and his quality approach (concerning his website). I find his pictures and reports really helpful. I also think, that his posting would be even better, if he stated that his ratings are based on one single stay per hotel, because quality and integrity belongs together and transparency supports integrity.
Given that the reviews on my website always relate to a single stay (with date of stay, loyalty program status and cost of booking stated), I've never felt the need to explicitly reiterate the fact that my reviews aren't based on multiple visits.
On the occasions when I do return to a property I always mention this in my review and link back to my previous posts.
If in doubt, you can view all of my reviews for a particular city here:
Hotel Reviews by Location
Alternatively you can view my reviews by hotel chain:
Hotel Reviews by Chain
If you want to chat further I'll happily to talk to you via PM, as I fear that the thread is getting a little derailed from its intended purpose.
Thanks again,
Jermyn

I will have about 12 stays with 30 nights in total at the Conrad BKK this year. That shows, that I appreciate that hotel. From my point of view it' the best hotel of the Hilton group in BKK and the status recognition for DIA is quite good. the free breakfast and the free lounge are better than at most of the other hotels, that belongs to the Hilton group. And I think, that the service is really good.
But even if the Conrad BKK belongs without any doubt to the luxury category, I don't think, it's the right one to find the "real luxury experience". I appreciate the Conrad as a luxury business hotel. That doesn't mean, that it's only suitable for business guest, but especially for them, it's one of the very best in BKK for business travelers, maybe the best one.
Your plan to try to find the "real luxury experience" at Mandarin Oriental, the Siam plus The St. Regis, Siam Kempinski and Lebua plus maybe Park Hyatt and Waldorf Astoria (Q1 2018) is absolutly the right approach. That are the main competitors of the Peninsula from my point of view.

Interesting. My late April stay at DT was 6-8 and I'm pretty sure my Jan stay at Hilton Suk was as well. As these are owned and managed by the same group it's odd they'd have different schedules.
Unless I've totally conflated the various lounges I've visited and then all bets are off.
Oh well.
