Pullman properties in Bangkok

My last stop in Thailand was Bangkok, and considering my travel goals, I chose the Pullman Bangkok Hotel G on Silom Road. The hotel is located on the bustling Silom Road, which was perfect for a shopaholic like me. It's only about a 5-minute walk to Chong Nonsi BTS Skytrain Station, and there's a bus stop right downstairs. The Mahanakhon Tower is also within walking distance. There's a 7-Eleven about 100 meters away, but you have to cross the road to get to it. Dragging my luggage into the lobby, my first impression was its strong design aesthetic; the stylish decor was quite eye-catching. The welcome drink offered during check-in was a thoughtful touch, instantly easing my travel fatigue. Check-in was very quick, but there were peak period queues on later days of my vacation. I had a room with a floor-to-ceiling window, offering a great view. Lower floors feature dark wood flooring with brown decor. If you prefer lighter colors, opt for the white-themed high-floor rooms shown on the hotel's homepage. The bedding was very comfortable, but the hangers were fixed and couldn't be removed. Initially, there were only 2 bottles of water, but when I asked the staff, they readily provided 4. The breakfast was a buffet with a good variety of Thai and Western options. However, it gets incredibly crowded! Waiting for a table during peak hours was common, and the serving area felt a bit cramped. On the plus side, there was an à la carte menu where you could order personalized egg dishes, and the service was prompt and attentive. · **Swimming Pool**: This was my favorite spot. You can swim outdoors directly facing the Mahanakhon Tower – the view is fantastic and perfect for photos. · **Gym**: It's open 24 hours, but the equipment is quite basic, almost rudimentary. It's only suitable for simple cardio or strength training. · **Library and Lounge**: Mostly used for photo opportunities; there were hardly any guests using it. In the evening, I visited Scarlett Wine Bar & Restaurant on the 37th floor, which was definitely the hotel's 'highlight'. This place is recommended by the Michelin Guide and has an amazing ambiance. The best part is that the prices are very reasonable. As a Bangkok sky bar and Michelin-recommended French restaurant, you can check it out with a minimum spend of just 90 baht for sparkling water or 210 baht for a cocktail. The French desserts are authentic, priced around 440 baht. French main courses are only about 1,000-2,000 baht per person. Reservations are needed, and it's open from 4 PM to midnight on weekends. Sitting there, you can take in the panoramic Bangkok city skyline and the Chao Phraya River night view, with the Mahanakhon Tower brightly lit across the way – very romantic. The wine list is extensive and professional, with over 150 wines to choose from. If you're coming around sunset, I highly recommend booking an outdoor table in advance. Enjoying a drink with the evening breeze is the perfect way to experience Bangkok.

There's a King Power Duty-Free shop right next door. Walking towards the BTS on the main street, you'll find three 7-Elevens. If you turn right, there's a self-service laundry a few minutes away. The BTS isn't far, making it convenient to connect to the airport line. It's just three stops to Siam station. The room isn't particularly spacious, and the sealed windows can make it feel a bit stuffy. The air conditioning is noisy, and the curtains let in light along the edges no matter how you pull them. There's a gym and a swimming pool, and the breakfast buffet is plentiful. Compared to other hotels, their Chinese New Year price increase wasn't too bad. The elevator doors close too quickly – I got caught twice and saw someone else get caught once!
