Help With SNA Strategy for Thailand Please
I'm looking for some help regarding using my SNAs for Thailand next August. We will probably be staying at the LMs in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket, but will only have enough SNAs for 2 of the 3. Given the time of year, suite availability at these properties, upgrade practices for Plats, etc., what's the most strategic use of my SNAs to try to maximize my upgrades at these 3 properties? Thanks!

Focus on using them at LM HKT. The other two properties are rather generous.

Agreed. The LM in Bangkok is quite generous towards Plat upgrades, so I'd use them for the other 2.

I'd even go as far as to say - save the ones reserved for LM CM for another occasion.

Although the SNAs for LM Phuket only gave us a Junior Suite option. We hot a suite without using SNAs in CM.
