Yeah, I ended up at the airport considerably earlier than I needed to be. Yeah, the plane was delayed. Yeah, it rained shortly after I left the Bangkok airport. But I love it here!!!!
So, you say, I haven't had too much time to see anything in Bangkok. Plus it was raining on the ride in. But wow, I have the BEST hotel ever and I think I am ruined for anything less than 5 stars from now on. LOL. (trust me, I got a good deal)
The taxi pulled up to the hotel (covered driveway) and not only did they open my door, they got my luggage and brought it up to my room! I went to check-in and was brought immediately to the 31st (top) floor for "special" check-in. While we were going through everything, I was brought a glass of orange juice. Now mind you, I only went for this package because breakfast was included (I found that very helpful in KL). I also get drinks during the cocktail hour and the business center is open 24 hours, with free Wi-Fi (which is where I am right now).
After check-in was completed, I was BROUGHT to my room! And she showed me where everything was, took care of turning on the electricity in my room, and then my luggage arrived. I just looked around the room in amazement.....the bed was turned down with a flower on the pillow! Oh, I get three pieces of clothing for complimentary laundry service - you know what I am having done tomorrow!
Once I unpacked and checked out everything (had problems with the TV at first, but I have it sorted now) I headed off to the Greenhouse, which is one of several restaurants here at the hotel (which also has - surprise surprise - a mall!). And I have my favorite Thai dish - phad thai (with shrimp). Scrumptious! Of course, I've never had any other Thai dish because I like this one so much. But so what. Don't be surprised if my meals here consist mainly of that. Remember, for at least 2 years in college I ate the same thing every day for lunch and dinner.
The people here are very nice and helpful. Tomorrow morning I am going to check with the concierge about a tour of the palace and temple. Can't wait!
I leave you with pictures of my room:
