    Stayed here for a week, a few months ago. Most luxurious experience in Hilton, or SPG group. Like an oasis in Bangkok. Hidden rooftop champagne bar, breakfast was incredible, rooms are beautiful, shower with full views of park, even the gym is swanky - complimentary Apple wired earbuds, fruit infused water. Waldorf is my new favorite :)

    Right up my alley....I find it strange these days how many hotels now have roof top pools and bars. When I started travelling almost 50 years ago...the pool was either in the basement or on level 2 and the bar was next to the lobby !! I often visit Kuala Lumpur to see friends and stay at Traders Hotel ( part of the Shangri La group) and they have a spectacular roof top pool and bar which is always busy with a great view of KLCC and the Petronas towers !! It is however fully enclosed !! The first roof top bar I ever went to was at the Library Hotel in New York some years ago and it had some brilliant views of the City !! A wonderful hotel....doubt I could afford it but in these most uncertain times what the hell !! Thanks for another great travel experience !! Never been to Thailand...I should go !! I actually went to school in Sydney Australia at the Kings School Parramatta with the now King of Thailand....haven't seen him since 1972 !!

      TRADER HOTEL IN KL has an excellent bar next to the swimming pool on the rooftop! I always went there after having a few alfresco drinks at KLCC restaurants and bars.

    The hotel is stunningly beautiful. This is the 3rd hotel you've stayed at recently that have the roof top infinity pool, I see a trend there. You got a sunset shot, but it does not rank up there in the million dollar money sunset shot of other places you've stayed. Well done. Nice to get out of Montreal for a little while and go some place different. Hope all is well there.

    Phenomenal videos, each and everyone of them. Love how you catch all the details on video and provide on screen commentary without any annoying voice overs. And your choice of serene music brings the whole composition together. Kudos also for the extra effort to video the hotel at night to capture the changes in lighting and ambiance, as well as showing us the restaurants/bars and various food dishes. Well done as always, and thank you for providing this great content! Best luxury travel channel on CZcams, IMHO.

    I stayed here in the 1st week of August 2018, 3 weeks before the official inauguration of this beautiful property was to be done by Paris Hilton. Beautiful Suite and the rooms. My entire family loved the washrooms and the toiletries more than anything. Lovely place to be in. We had two suites and two rooms for six nights. Great experience. 👍

    We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok a week after it open in 2018 and found it to be absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, The Front Room restaurant with Chef Rungthiwa has since closed. The Front Room with its 10 course tasting menu was an amazing experience as was The Loft and The Brasserie. I hope they will have replaced The Front Room with something equally as tasteful upon my stay next year. You truly captured the grandeur of the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok in this video. Thanks for posting and sharing!

    I stayed here last year. The staff is very friendly and the highlight definitely is the Pool. The breakfast was good and I liked the hanging honeycomb. The only thing I didn't like was the room controls (tablet) were overly complicated. I had a suit and it took me 5 mins to turn off the lights. Also if you don't set the 'clean my room' alert then they wont do it, but again you have to do it through the tablet control. A few days I was just excited to get out to the city and forget to switch it on. The daily fresh fruits were also a nice touch.

    I have always stay at St. Regis every time when visiting Bangkok, mainly for its generous complimentary laundry services 6 items per day and a dedicate butler service which makes St. Regis a true luxury hotel. I stayed in Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan few years ago, but it didn’t give me the same hype.
