I Stayed at the Most Iconic Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭 (Lebua Hotel)

I Stayed at the Most Iconic Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. In this video I will be sharing with you my experience of staying at one of the most famous properties in the city of Bangkok. The Lebua Hotel is famously known for its iconic rooftop that was featured in the film, The Hangover Part 2 and it was also where the crew stayed during their time of filming in Bangkok. If you're looking for things to do in Bangkok or hotels to stay in while in Bangkok this is the right video for you!

$40 for 1 drink. Even with that view I would still be in the free drink lounge. And you have to stand the whole time. I can see the beauty and checking it off a bucket list. The view was breathtaking.

[@ericd1084]

$40 for a normal drink is insane. For a super rare 35 plus year old scotch or something, maybe. 40 bucks and you can't even sit down. LOL

[@luisb84]

Bro I even got my 16 year old on your videos he loves it makes him plan future trips in life. Also Chris I been watching videos from the beginning 5yr old videos and I noticed you haven’t changed your awesome humble ways unlike other bloggers I fallow that with time change and become more cocky and rude to people. I respect you and that’s why your our new favorite blogger bro 💯 your a real one

The most iconic hotel in Bangkok is Mandarin Oriental Hotel, with 150 years of history. Lebua Hotel is iconic just for people who watched the Hangover.

I noticed many non-Thais working at the Lebua Hotel. The accents I heard from the staff sounded Filipino and maybe, Indonesian.

[@reezevlog]

yup…i noticed that too…

[@Jon-yp3sn]

Maybe I should work there at Lebua for a few months! haha

[@weekdaycycling]

I noticed as well. His appearance and accent lead me to believe he is from Myanmar rather than the Philippines or Indonesia. I’m not very familiar with how non-Thais can obtain work permits in the hotel industry for general positions like room clerk or concierge. From what I know, many high-end hotels mostly offer positions to foreigners in leadership roles that require special skills like the general manager, residence manager, head chef, and Wine Sommelier for example.

[@kevinp8108]

@@weekdaycycling - It's Thailand's lack of workers with English fluency. The hospitality industry in Thailand recruits English speaking workers from other countries to work in hotels and resorts that caters to English speaking tourists.

[@DonJ1973]

Hey Chris! Cool video. I've actually been to that bar before. I went there around 2016. It was a short walk from my hotel at the Center Pointe Silom, which I could totally see from the skyline view. I know that is in the Bangrak area. Yes, it's really pricey, but you are there to enjoy an experience and this is about living in the moment. Glad you had a good time on this trip to Thailand. You're making me really want to re-visit there again after 5 years away.

Dude said they use the finest whiskey...johnny blue, LMAO - bro that's a blend and just bc it's got a high price tag doesn't make it good....i've had it a number of times and so many others better, esp single or single single malts... Also the ballz to charge the same for a drink as the price a night's stay is just crazy....and standing only. F dat if Im paying 9100 thb for a drink best believe they're gonna bring me a table and chairs, lol

[@thekoshertourist]

how dated is that, they don't even know your room number when you call...but it is a big pad. And what's with the pants - I get trying to be all hautey tautey but what if you aint got pants...come on man, that ain't right. Also saw the dude in front of you, when you went back down, was in shorts and some woman had on shorts. And not to give you a welcome drink and towel...and take so long to get your bags. That's why I take my suitcases on my own... I also just realized you got the city view for $287, maybe a few weeks ago it was more expensive.

[@deathbytech666]

Absolutely Chris, would love to see another experience here wth Gladys, beautiful vdo as usual, Take CAre Bro

To be honest I normally don’t leave a comment unless I have something nice to say, but I honestly just gotta come on out and say it…. Bro you repeat yourself over and over I had to make myself watch this video to the end just to see how many times you were gonna repeat yourself…. Wow you paid $300 for one night at a hotel - who hasn’t (do you want a cookie dude. You literally said it’s the same hotel from the hang over 40 times , who cares do you want a pat on the back…. Honestly imma stay far away from this guys videos 😂😂😂😂 It wasn’t good at all 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️ Sorry not sorry, couldn’t bite my tongue on this one guys

I’m confused, I just saw a guy go in there with shorts on

[@Fiola_M]

This seemed like a waste of money..room was ok..nothing special. Overpriced for what you got. Not even worth it for the smoggy view. I feel like you did this to go on a drinking spree. Bro life is too short to spend drinking. I couldnt get down with the boozey vibe of the video. This hotel is a PASS! The content was not up to your usual quality hon!

[@shadys7836]

Paying €300 a night and then being told "you have to wear a long pants" to enter your luxury bar. That blew it off for me.

Shouldn’t laugh but 20 mins into the video & you are having the same issues we had unfortunately our experience didn’t get any better checked out the next day and went to another hotel with a cool sky bar & treated so much better

[@micks209]

Man I was just looking at staying there! $300 is fair considering you got a full suite, if you had a small family or friends to share it with that would be more ideal (cost effective). I'll be there next week and I'll be traveling to Cambodia the following week as well, safe travels!

Horrible hotel for the price, way past its hay days. Old looking, in a dire need of a complete refurbishment. That room looked like a cheap service apartment at best.There's SO MANY better hotels in Bangkok for half the price. Hard pass.

[@chon94]

Have you been to Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market and Thonburi Market yet?

[@TheBaldyVlogger]

Stayed there myself last year but booked during covid, so for some reason, it was still the covud price that far in advance £120 I regretted buying 3 drinks there before i knew the price of them 😮

[@DanTraxex]

Just booked 4 days there because it was cheap in the low season of September. I already feel uncomfortable and I haven't even arrived yet.

[@Unplugged704]

Hey Chris, Thanks for the great video and review! Curious why back in March you paid over $300 for just one night. Thai new year (Songran) isn’t until April.. so I can see rates higher then. But March? Today (8/19/24) I just checked (and booked thanks to you), we booked the Club tower river view suite on 51-52 floor, for $105 per night--$129 with lounge access. I booked through Expedia, which was cheaper than Lebua directly.

[@reezevlog]

i think thats why they are doing some renovation works at some of those floors..to upgrade the rooms.. n once that’s done, your room/floor might be next… its about time for that hotel to do some upgrades..

[@weekdaycycling]

The interior design and materials used in the room give off a partially old-school vibe. While it offers ample space, it doesn’t quite give out the stylishness one might expect compared to other new 5-star hotels. The telephone and curtain sticks look outdated, while many modern hotels opt for full home automation. You can control stuff from your bed.

[@rampagehazard7361]

God!!! Shame on me, I actually working here at this hotel and I've watched several of your vlog . But I couldn't meet you in person cuz I think the date u shot this vlog it was same day with my day off..... pathetic me.:(

[@MTing-vh8dw]

I stayed in lebua hotel a decade ago. It was big especially the bath room and with a balcony compare to other hotels. It was less than usd 200 per night back in the day. Everything was white and Grey color in hotel room. Guess your rooms furniture has been changed I would say downgraded with beige color. The breakfast buffet was great, also the roof top bar was super nice. They used Bvlgari toiletries back in the day. I started to buy Bvlgari stuff once I came back from that trip. Until now still keep buying Bvlgari perfume and body lotion etc.

[@asianight9188]

To be honest..... You payed double what I did to stay there, I payed 150 dollars a night, not 300

[@DC-xi4fd]

So this hotel with no superior service and dated rooms are as same as Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons and Shangrila ? Have you been to Four Seasons in Bangkok compared to this upgraded Motel 6? Their claim to fame is Hangover 2. I am sure other hotels declined when they were approached for the movie. WTF and they charge $300 for a suite with dates rooms in Bangkok? This sounds like retired working for you channel scam.

[@heartlandokie4485]

The valet that showed you to the room told you that you needed to have long pants to go the bar.
