In the last three years I have been offered a choice at check in, Club access or One Bed Corner Suite.
They will make a note of your preference on your profile. Enjoy your stay..

Is this still the case or do they now have miniatures? Are these still free for RA's?

It's still the large 200ml bottles. It's probably been a year or so since the last time I touched any of them, but back then they were all included in the complimentary minibar. The same for snacks, at least I have never been charged for any of that.

They are still rather large for the minibar which is why they're in the drawer above and complimentary for RAs. Only beverages now though.

Not sure if it was accurate but the midday service in the lounge is alacarte and they charge for drinks.

Really? I ate some chocolate and chips from the minibar on my last stay a couple of weeks ago, and I wasn't charged anything for this.

Yes,, I was there last week and booked a Grand Deluxe room. Got upgraded to a Club room as an RA with all the Club benefits.

I got the same. But wasn't happy with the room so they provided me the option of a suite without club access. I took the suite. They are very responsive to e-mails too, however very strict with the check-out times. I wanted to check-out at 4:30pm, but wasn't allowed (which is OK per their rules).
check-in becomes instantanenous if you book their airport pick-up too. But that is expensive (at 2800 THB) compared to regular taxis (400 THB)

Question Friends and Family rate
How is one treated at this property if you book the friends and family rate? Does an RA still get upgraded? Does the RA get the mini bar access? Sorry that I am asking too many questions but we only have 1 Free AMB cert and we would like to stay at 2 IC properties, one at the ANA IC and the other at the BKK IC. Any advice is appreciated.

I have opted for upgrade to the suite rather then the club access. Will I still get Internet?
