Great report, thanks a lot. I know a lot of Bangkok hotels but these were mostly new to me. Interesting selection of 4-5 star properties. I would say, though, - and you mentioned that yourself - that most of these hotels were not real 5 star properties like Sofitel, Shangri-La, JW Marriott, Sukothai, Banyan Tree, Conrad etc. that are all above the $100 mark for a reason. Also, I think you just got lucky on the Chatrium Riverside, which usually costs $130 and above. Anyway, great video!
Thanks! There should indeed be a difference between 5-star and 5-star luxury. But the frontier in between all those 5-star hotels is complicated to draw. Even in these 5 hotels, the Chatrium is clearly above the JC Kevin in both quality of service, breakfast and amenities. I would compare it to hotels like the M Gallery Muse or the So'.

Then there are the super lux hotels like the 4 Seasons, Capella, St Regis, MO etc. The prices reflect that.
