I've stayed twice in 2824. Never noticed the problem posted by others that people in the EL can look down on you. The living room and bedroom are a good size but not as large as some of the other suites that I've been in. The terrace is like a garden and wraps around the outward facing side of the suite. There is a table with chairs and two sets of lounge chairs on either side of the terrace. I don't think you would regret booking the room.

To be honest not worth the money. They are not private, Terrace is very open and people above can look in. I am sure they are closed at minute for refurb as they have not had furniture or people on them for some months now. I would advise to try get a new suite, Deluxe Suites are very nice

One of our favourite hotels. In the past have booked a corner deluxe and as a Gold never failed to get lounge access. Sometimes book an Executive to be sure and have on occasion been given a suite.
This time i wondered whether or not to book with points ; 160000 for 5 nights but of course this only gets a standard room so unlikely i would have thought to be upgraded to executive. Does anyone know how much or indeed if you can upgrade to executive level prior to arrival or on arrival from a points booking?
very many thanks

I did as suggested and just recieved this back:
As you are Gold member, your room will be upgrade to next category which is Premium room (newly renovate room) but which will be subject to the availability upon arrival.
Due to Grand Premium room (Executive corner) under renovated so we would offer 2 options as below for your considering instead;
1. Deluxe corner room (53 Sqm) included Executive lounge benefits with additional charge THB 2,300++ per room per night
2. Upgrade to Executive room (40.5 Sqm) with Executive lounge benefits THB 1,500++ per room per night
so a corner deluxe is no longer upgraded to an executive room

When the premium rooms were first introduced a few weeks ago, I could have sworn that they were slotted in between the Deluxe King and Deluxe King Corner, which would make sense based on the email reply you received, i.e. a Gold now booking a basic Deluxe King would be upgraded one category to a Premium King.
However, looking at pricing now, it appears they've changed the order to now go: Deluxe King -> Deluxe King Corner -> Premium King -> Executive King. So with a standard one category upgrade, it would now appear a Gold would need to book a Premium King in order to receive an upgrade to get Executive lounge access.

Main lobby is back open as of 2 days ago.
Diamond here, booked the normal Deluxe King and was initially upgraded to a Deluxe King Corner the day before. Emailed the hotel back and asked to switch to a Premium King to check out the renovations, which was granted with no problems.
New Premium rooms are very nice. There is sort of "magic" sensor that knows when you're there, every time you leave the room the window curtains drop, and when you return and open the door they open again automatically. Cool feature.
