We checked in to Thailand's leading hotel after 8pm this evening after six head-spinning, energy-sapping hours in Chatuchak market, the world’s most brilliant place to shop.
Exhausted, we didn’t feel like leaving our room’s comforting embrace, so dived into the room service menu.
In room dining can be a disappointing letdown in even the best hotels, but this dinner was a fantastic a la carte-esque experience, served on a round table wheeled in by a bow-tied water, who whipped off the silver food warmers to reveal our superbly presented, generously proportioned orders from the All Day Thai Favourites menu...
