Four Seasons Bangkok at Chao Phraya River, Impressive Scale, A Foodie Paradise, 'BKK Social Club' & Flawless Service - Bangkok, Thailand - October 2024

9/12/2024

When I visited Bangkok in 2018 I met with GM Lubosh to discuss the plans for the new Four Seasons, Bangkok, this hotel, therefore, had to be part of my 'Epic Trip'.

My Spectacular Welcome

You will see from the photos that my welcome could not have been more impressive. GM Lubosh was on a well deserved vacation with his family but Manager Simon handled it all perfectly and there was even a 'cut out' of the GM for the photos.

Walking through the hotel the monumental scale of it all took my breath away.

The End of Buddhist Lent, 'BKK Social Club' & The 'Epic Trip Martini Challenge'

All the bars in Thailand were closed for The End of Buddhist Lent on the day I arrived but 'BKK Social Club' was recreated in my spectacular suite to make me a perfect martini. Must thank Bar Manager Ferdia, and Director of Guest Experience Killian, for all they did to arrange this.

'BKK Social Club' & 'Four Seasons, Bangkok' came a close third in the 'Epic Trip Martini Challenge' for the effort this took.

My Guest Experience person was named Dream and she certainly lived up to her name. She made arrangements just as easy/ smooth as the butlers at Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok.

The food at Four Seasons, Bangkok could not have been better. From the super fresh scallops at 'Palmier' that were exquisite with just lemon juice, to the best balanced hot & sour soup I have ever eaten from Chef Tommy Cheung & caviar on my dim sum and fresh from the oven egg pizzas at breakfast with the most delicious fresh melon juice I have tasted. Everything was sublime.

Four Seasons, Bangkok also rates an unprecedented '8 teddies' (🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻) score. More handrails on stairs is the only area that needs any improvement. All this is even more impressive for a hotel still so new. Sean being part of my leaving photos was the icing on a perfect cake. Tip: you must have a cocktail in the award winning 'BKK Social Club' .

Dream also sounds like a standout star, ensuring your every need was met with the same level of care and sophistication you’ve experienced at the Mandarin Oriental. It’s always a pleasure to see such exceptional service in action.

And the meals? They sound absolutely divine! Balanced hot and sour soup, fresh melon, and dim sum elevated with caviar—what an extraordinary culinary journey. Yum!

As you can see, Simon, I am playing catch-up.

I am so glad your arrival in Bangkok MO Hotel was spectacular as it should be. I can imagine walking along the Hotel's grand entrance of monumental scale must have been breathtaking.

As you arrived, the Buddhist lent ends and the bars are closed, but the ingenious staff recreated you favourite bar right in your suite is only for the special traveler that you are.

To boot your Guest Relations Person is named Dream is a sign that things will be just fine. I can see Dream did fulfill your desires and wishes with utter efficiency. Dream is a dream comes true.

What a way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of your blog.

Cheers.
