regional first
Beatles cover band? Huge suite upgrade with river views? Excellent club lounge? My stay at the Sheraton was very brief, but it was pretty memorable.
I've read mixed reviews of the Royal Orchid Sheraton, but I enjoyed my stay. There are multiple Starwood properties to choose from in Bangkok, from Four Points and Aloft to St. Regis and W. I was traveling alone on this trip, so I didn't need to spend extravagantly, and this ...
This photo is another from a past trip that has brought back a flood of memories of my experiences.
This isn't as unique as some other photos I have posted, but its certainly not something one would expect to see when visiting this location. The water surrounding this photo is an iconic part of the city where it is located. It is an incredible place to visit, although this photo really doesn't do it justice. ...
$135 for a $500 suite on a business trip? Yeah, I'll take that deal.
This is the first time I've ever stayed in a Park Hyatt for work, as well as the first time I've ever paid rather than used an award redemption. These hotels are typically outside the my personal budget, as well as beyond what I can typically justify for a business expense.

When you hear (or smell) Portico White Ginger, what do you think of?
I am a frequent Hyatt guest, and am more than a little sick of that foul aroma, which is the standard offering for bathroom amenities at most Hyatt and Hyatt Place hotels. Other Hyatt brands including resorts have different (and in my opinion, generally rather nice) products. I know not everyone dislikes the White Ginger, but I'm happy to hear that it is finally going away. Mere ...

I'm sure the architechtural style gives away the region where this site is located. But can you name the specific location? This is in a large city with lots of sites to see. This particular spot is worth a visit, but its not at the top of most lists. It is a bit unique since many similar places in this area are no longer standing. ...
Similar to my United domestic first class legs at the beginning of the trip, I had 2 Thailand domestic flights in business class between Bangkok and Chiang Rai. Everything else on this ticket was in International First Class.
When I booked this, one way was on an A300, and the return on a A330. They also have some narrowbody Airbus on this route, but I tried to avoid that. Thai is known for their frequent schedule changes. Ultimately both legs ...
