I'm thinking of staying here for an upcoming trip, but if I try to book on SPG.com or directly on the hotel site the price is twice as much as what I can find on hotels.com.
Can I get the hotel to price match?

In any event, why not drop a PM to Plaza Athenee, BKK (Starwood) and see what they can do for you.

When you enter the days you are staying the 2 for 1 comes up as a rate, 5600 bahts for 2 days total (plus taxes fees). I think it comes out to be 6200 total or something like that.
This is a valid rate and had no problems booking through spg.com for my 3 stays there in the last 2 weeks.

Taxi Card for Plaza Athenee Bangkok
This is a great image of the taxi card from the Plaza Athenee in Bangkok, supplied as an image by the hotel. It has the hotel details and a map in English and Thai making it easy to hand to a taxi driver when trying to reach the hotel. While the hotel gives them out it may be beneficial to have one with you when you are getting a taxi from the airport at the start of your stay.

Plats get two pieces of pressing, that's the important thing, whether it's bc it's a plat. benefit or an executive lloor benefit. As a contrary example, at the WGS, you can be a Plat. and put on the executive floor, and you won't get free pressing unless you are paying the executive floor rate.

One evening, I invited two friends over for happy hour drinks and because I have a double booking I asked them to consider one of them as my "room-mate" ... they agreed
they however did charge me full hotel bar prices for the second guest which seems fair.
BTW, we were NOT charged for the food for the second guest

that 2 pieces of complimentry laundry is both a Platinum and Club Floor benefit.
Also inquired about cocktail hours as a Platinum guest.
Glaz bar or the Club Lounge are options between 6-8PM.

I had an evening flight and they couldnt extend my check-out beyond 4pm (which is fine with me). I was invited to use the lounge after check-out but they made it very clear that any "consumption" is chargeable 
Now how much they want to charge for an OJ and some peanuts, I do not know. However, their "baht-pinching" attitude put them at the bottom of my list for Starwood hotels in Bangkok.

Mmm... I have never been informed about comp laundry or Glaz bar option. Should we not be told about these benefits and options without asking??

Yes, we should be getting some slip of paper listing these things. I don't recall whether or not I got something at PA, but I'm assuming not. I'm certain I've gotten such a list at the SGS.

Don't know how much they would charge you for OJ & peanuts ... But believe me they are much better than the vultures at the Conrad Bangkok. I had a friend over at the executive lounge yesterday who just had two sodas and a plate of finger food. Today at checkout I was presented with an almost 1000 baht bill ... so much for the summer sale & the 2 for 1 promo. It's like a feeding frenzy in BKK nowadays with every property cutting back on services and aminities while pushing the envelope in revenue generating tactics!
I am glad I am outta there ... now at the JW Marriott.
