When I stayed at this PH, there were always lots of available seating at the pool. It seemed to be hardly ever used. It's an outdoor infinity pool adjacent to the main dining room which means on the 9th floor, I think. It's not huge but should work well for kids if they don't have agoraphobia!

I disagree entirely. While suite upgrades have been at times sparse over the years almost everyone I know stays at SGS for their very solid Happy Hour at the three outlets and the very good breakfast.
This whole "I'm being treated well" mantra is a myth. If you're an elite member you're always "treated well" in terms of receiving hard benefits. I don't need feel good lip service. YMMV

FYI- The PH has a great "family plan" rate, only 7,000 THB per night, which is $140 less than my corp rate and nearly $200 off the best available rate. I booked the adult room with 20k points per night, that seemed like a good value for a $371 per night, but wow that's a lot of cash for a hotel room in Bangkok!

I have a question about GH vs PH. We've been to Bangkok many many times, always stayed in either the GH or one of the SPG places in the vicinity. We know have 3 kids and are heading back through Bangkok for three days over Christmas. When I had initially booked many months ago, the PH had no availability at all (which seemed odd) and I snagged 2 rooms at the GH under my ridiculously low corporate rate. I've since been going back and running new searches .
I think GH does it much better. I'm here right now and the whole place is so Christmasy. There's even a tree in the Fitness center. Can't really imagine the minimalist PH being so festive.

Is there direct mall access from the hotel? We have a one day layover here before going to Bhutan and aren’t feeling too adventurous.
looks like they’re pretty open to globalist suite upgrades if there’s availability?

Yes, direct mall access from the ground floor of the hotel, and a really great food court with lots of different food stalls at the bottom of the mall (Eathai).

Yes, with plenty of choices on almost every floor from sushi to Thai boat noodles.

The food court is fantastic, there is also a boat noodle place on 5th floor that is always very crowded but is very good and next door to that is an outpost of ippudo to get your ramen fix.

We landed at 7a and arranged for hotel airport transfer so we got a room at 8a when we got to the hotel which is godsend.
I was surprised to see how worn in the hotel is despite its relative age, sagging seats, heavily scuffed nightstand, etc.
Breakfast was really nice, decent selection but very high quality and constantly replaced / refreshed.
location next to central embassy is great, good stores for shopping and so many great food options.
wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again but would try for a better room next time

For any one interested in the luxurious ambassador suite, here are some pictures:
Upon entering the suite, this is the living room (from the left of door entrance
Closer look to the living room (there is a DVD player with the big TV, however, you need to bring your own DVD's, as the hotel doesn't provide any movie in the suite
Phloen-chit view from living room (you can see the train when it stops to load/unload passengers
To the right of entrance there is a door that leads to guest bathroom in front, to the right is a kitchen:
and to the left we have the bedroom:
And here is the closet:
Bathroom:
After the bathroom there is a small GYM with a beautiful view of chit-loom and Siam BTS stations. Evian water is placed in the suite (though I'm unsure if it's complimentary or chargable
