Bangkok Marriott Marquis has everything you want in a 5-star hotel

Only Club guests get to dine at the balcony of the M Club Lounge.

I don't say this lightly, but those three nights in Bangkok – it takes more than one night for me – felt as if I had been transported to a place which dispensed manna from heaven. Dramatics aside – and going back to plain talk – it means the food served here was, simply, a #foodgasm.

I’ve stayed in many hotels around the world and, to me, the buffet breakfast spread at the Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park can't be topped. How in heaven's name can you try all the scrumptious offerings in one sitting? I silently gave thanks to the food gods for giving me three nights so that the enjoyment was spread out.
