As far as room sizes go, the '1 King Corner' is almost as big as a regular suite at other hotels.
Are you actually paying for suites? That's probably a mistake if you want to benefit from your status.

At SGS? Hardly a mistake. It's a very difficult upgrade, especially coming from the Marriott side. Last stay they upgraded me from Grand Suite to one of the theme suites, so I wound up with a 24k THB suite for 10k per night.

Ok maybe I'm just lucky then. Stayed there about 15-20 times and can't remember ever not getting a suite. Last time I had the Raja suite with a huge balcony and tub outside. I always book a Standard Room.

Don't think it's luck at this point . . . you're a LT SPG Plat with a lengthy history at the hotel. Based on the property thread, as a Marriott Plat with no history (first stay earlier this year), my upgrade odds would be slim.

What is the current situation in terms of the Globalist happy hour?
I would be willing to return and reconsider the value proposition but I am still struggling given that it remains more expensive than StR, SGS, and Athenee.

Today, the TPG website published a negative review of this property essentially decrying 2 minor service issues that were rectified. The readers' response was overwhelmingly negative to the writer and his complaints, especially this one:
Check out the review & be the judge:

Having worked at a 5 star hotel in BKK, I've seen your type many times. You turn one issue into a giant disaster and whine about until you get something for free, which is your ultimate objective.
While you go home to write your pathetic review, the workers are traumatized and some might even lose their job. No big deal for you, of course.
The average "upscale" hotel employee in BKK earns a few dollars per day, even though many (even housekeeping staff) have attended hotel college and studied English for years. Don't fool yourself by thinking their meager salary is offset by the cost of living, it is EXPENSIVE to live in Bangkok!
The traffic in Bangkok is so bad that the average line employee will leave their home at 5AM to start work by 9, and they might not see their family until 9PM that night. But, scoring a job at a prestigious hotel has its benefits; free meals, uniforms, health insurance, and the promise of career advancement.
Until a predator like you comes along. Your bed wasn't made by 2PM, really? You went on your temper tantrum over that? Are you so filthy you couldn't nap in your own mess? You let a minor issue ruin a fantastic experience! Have you considered therapy or anger management?
I'm not surprised your bed wasn't made by 2PM, that's not unusual. Just because you hung a sign on your door the staff should swarm over your room? Get over yourself!
My job in BKK was HR related and I can assure you that your review, your complaints, your tantrums, and the picture of you behind the bar will cost some poor soul their job, and many others will be traumatized. But, you got your free night, right?

I think 9:30 to 2pm with the make up room light was more than enough time for them to make it up. It's not like he just clicked it on for 15 mins and expected it done in a jiffy. Seems housekeeping was lax and not doing their job properly. Having to badger housekeeping (via F&B manager?!) to make up the bed just makes it even worse. Shows this property still has ways to go.
