Bangkok 2 months stay in 2 hotels suggestions
I have a assignment in Bangkok from Oct 1,2021 to Nov 30,2021 with overnight trip to Rangoon in the end of October. So far I booked Grand Hyatt for the first 30 nights at around $2,300 including all taxes and fees, and coming back for 29 days at Ibis Riverside for $900. My place of business is about half way between both hotels. Max Per Diem is $234 per day however like to eat as good as possible.

The Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit is my preferred "mid-priced" hotel in Bangkok and is currently doing monthly rates. I'm not a fan of the location, but the hotel and its service are something else. If you have Marriott Platinum or above the benefits are also quite considerable.

My go-to hotel has always been Conrad - for an extended stay, you might want to look into the Conrad Residences which offers larger suites (think serviced appartments) with access to the hotel's facilities (Exec lounge excluded). May I ask why you want to move half-way through? - Sounds like a bad plan to move from a five star hotel to an Ibis ! 
In Bangkok, at your per diem level, you can pretty much eat like a king every day - do not underestimate the street food options though! While very cheap and primitive, much of it is great.

Personally, I like a nice hotel after a long trip as I'm likely to spend more time in the room and on the premises when I'm jet lagged. It can also be nice to get some good toiletries to take and use during the remainder of the trip. OTOH some people like having something good to look forward to toward the end of a trip.

Hi SKT-DK,
Thanks for reply- Only reason for change of hotel was I get bored of Lounge Breakfast and Evening snack at Hyatt's after about 30 days. Might see if the old Regent, Four Season now Anantara Siam is available however usually too expensive, Agree Ibis is not a great brand.

Hi MSPeconomist,
Thank you for your reply- Yes its cumbersome with quarantines etc, luckily as long as I have Travel Orders I am exempt, except for the regular testing prior to arrival and Rangoon trip will be within my workgroup bubble so should not be an issue. Agree with long flights jet lag and nice hotels,
Best,

for accommodations for work assignments in Bangkok, it is all about locations as one would not like to spend too much time to commute... luckily there are a lot of very good hotels and service apartments. For such long stays, I would actually look into service apartments...
