In March this year Sivatel Bangkok opened their doors on Wireless Road, opposite the British Embassy. You can see my review of Sivatel Bangkok that I posted earlier.
As you can see the rooms are really spacious with huge bathtubs and in this particular room there are two flat screen TVs, one in the bedroom and one in the living room, both with Apple TVs.

Lebua at State Tower Bangkok
Lebua at State Tower plays a prominent role in The Hangover Part II -showcasing the open air bar on the roof of a skyscraper hotel as seen from a helicopter. Sirocco, touted as the world’s highest open-air rooftop restaurant on the 63rd floor offers breathtakingly panoramic views of Bangkok and the Chao Phraya river, which are especially impressive at sunset. Sirrocco and Sky Bar are part of the spectacular Lebua hotel complex, located in the Sathorn district, close to the banks of the Chao Phraya River. The nearest BTS Skytrain station is Saphan Taksin, from where you can also catch many different shuttle ferries and teak dinner cruise boats.
Rooms at Lebua currently start at USD187* for the Tower Club Cityview Suite, and USD 893* for the Tower Club 3 bedroom “Hangover Suite”. There is also a Hangover 2 package deal for 2 nights, details listed below. Of course rates on Agoda are always discounted way below the official rates offered on the official hotel website. *Rates quoted are for stay over the end of June 2011.

Located across the street from the Royal Bangkok Sports Club, on the 16th to 24th floors, the St Regis created a buzz when they opened the doors to Thailand’s first St Regis property in April.
Check out this video I made of the Caroline Astor Suite at the St Regis Bangkok a week before they opened in April. Imagine waking up to views like this!
As you can see in the video, the bathroom has floor to ceiling windows which look out over the Bangkok Royal Sports Club below. Yod, my butler, assured me that of course the glass in the windows, and the view , were one way and that guests could feel comfortable watching the races from their free-standing bathtub.

While I do love the Grand Hyatt Erawan, and it is always my first port of call every time I am in Bangkok, it is aging a little and there are a couple of improvements that I think would make the hotel that much better.
What changes, if any, would you like to see made at the Hyatt in Bangkok?
Something a little different today.
You may have seen these new Xtranormal videos that are doing the rounds recently on blogs around town. I decided to have a bit fun and try my hand at making one myself. I tried to fit as many stereotypical Thai scams into 2 minutes as possible without being too offensive.
I was inspired to make this by a hilarious video posted by Kevin May, called A Blogger Walks into A Hotel, over at the Talking Travel Tech blog, TNOOZ.com. You can find another travel inspired user created cartoon at The Grumpy Traveller.
If you like the video , please share it on Twitter or one of the social media links below.
Did I miss any scams? Speaking of Thailand scams, have you ever been a victim of one? Do you have any advice for fellow travelers? Please share below.
