Wat Kaeo Phichit

I gave them the stellar review. I don’t know what more you want from me.

This was our 3rd visit to Lebua and it doesn’t disappoint. Our corner suite was fantastic. The panoramic views over the city and the river set a high bar, giving us plenty of space to relax. Booking a Tower Club suite includes lounge access, which proved well worth it. The afternoon snacks were top quality, and the complimentary sundowner drinks made a great lead-in to the evening. Downstairs, the swimming pool offers a peaceful, spacious retreat from the Bangkok heat. Breakfast was another major highlight, offering a huge spread of international and local options that easily set us up for the day. We headed up to Sky Bar for cocktails one evening. The views are iconic and the atmosphere is electric. However, brace yourself for the bill. While the drinks are well made, the prices are eye-watering even by luxury hotel standards. It is worth visiting for one drink to take in the skyline, but it is not a spot for a long session. Our only real frustration was finding out the hotel removed all self-service washing machines despite them being advertised (and we used them previously). We planned to do a quick load of laundry before flying on to Samui, so losing that facility was a genuine inconvenience.
