Thanks, pics are often misleading. The sun deck at the Meridien is currently 3/4 closed, for renovation, which is tedious during perfect weather. Surely they could have done it in off season. I always used to stay at the Dusit, but it's gone up several grades in price. Also it's Olddaddy taxi range to Patpong!
Not to mention gold faucets! BTW, irrelevant, but i was once on board a yacht, so called, belonging to a Cypriot shipping billionaire, it had solid gold taps, as we say, in the visitors loo! He mentioned that it used to belong to King Farouk of Egypt!
Trouble with window seat, it's just a flat surface, up against the window, so you have to play around with the cushions to get comfortable! Boys like to be photographed with the view behind.
