Right up my alley....I find it strange these days how many hotels now have roof top pools and bars. When I started travelling almost 50 years ago...the pool was either in the basement or on level 2 and the bar was next to the lobby !! I often visit Kuala Lumpur to see friends and stay at Traders Hotel ( part of the Shangri La group) and they have a spectacular roof top pool and bar which is always busy with a great view of KLCC and the Petronas towers !! It is however fully enclosed !! The first roof top bar I ever went to was at the Library Hotel in New York some years ago and it had some brilliant views of the City !! A wonderful hotel....doubt I could afford it but in these most uncertain times what the hell !! Thanks for another great travel experience !! Never been to Thailand...I should go !! I actually went to school in Sydney Australia at the Kings School Parramatta with the now King of Thailand....haven't seen him since 1972 !!

Always love hearing travel anecdotes from a bygone era. Regards from India. P.S. might be worthwhile dropping into Bangkok and ringing up your old classmate😁

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thx for sharing

[@syedadeelhussain2691]

TRADER HOTEL IN KL has an excellent bar next to the swimming pool on the rooftop! I always went there after having a few alfresco drinks at KLCC restaurants and bars.

Thank you sir for another warm and introspective look. More so, thank you for the close up of the hotel room, food, and the menu. Your detailed efforts and time spent in capturing the spirit of the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok is greatly appreciated.

[@ChristopherRoma9]

The highlight of my week are watching your videos 🙌🏼

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Wow thx ☺️

[@blckqueen8044]

I miss Thailand so much. Can’t wait to go back and try this hotel. I usually stay at SofitelSo

[@AnAn-vd5up]

i really miss it, too. Bangkok has a plethora of good hotels. u should also look out for Rosewood, Park Hyatt, Siam Kempenski and especially "the Siam".

[@brutusp.8116]

So Sofitel is decently priced. My room looked like white night club.

[@brybryBillions]

Stayed here for a week, a few months ago. Most luxurious experience in Hilton, or SPG group. Like an oasis in Bangkok. Hidden rooftop champagne bar, breakfast was incredible, rooms are beautiful, shower with full views of park, even the gym is swanky - complimentary Apple wired earbuds, fruit infused water. Waldorf is my new favorite :)

[@lwrandall]

I have had the pleasure of staying here twice with a third stay planned for this year. It is a truly beautiful hotel with a wonderful and friendly staff. The breakfast is to die for. Especially the chocolate croissants. Great review as always and I always look forward to your weekly posts.

Phenomenal videos, each and everyone of them. Love how you catch all the details on video and provide on screen commentary without any annoying voice overs. And your choice of serene music brings the whole composition together. Kudos also for the extra effort to video the hotel at night to capture the changes in lighting and ambiance, as well as showing us the restaurants/bars and various food dishes. Well done as always, and thank you for providing this great content! Best luxury travel channel on KZbin, IMHO.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for your kind comment 👍

[@jeremy1350]

The hotel is stunningly beautiful. This is the 3rd hotel you've stayed at recently that have the roof top infinity pool, I see a trend there. You got a sunset shot, but it does not rank up there in the million dollar money sunset shot of other places you've stayed. Well done. Nice to get out of Montreal for a little while and go some place different. Hope all is well there.

[@thelukadeshlife8562]

My family and I had an absolutely incredible 1 night stay back in September 2019. We were fortunate enough to be upgraded to a one bedroom Astoria suite - truly amazing and still our most luxurious hotel experience.

[@MrG_11]

Another wonderful video. Clean, informative and calming. Regards from India

I stayed here in the 1st week of August 2018, 3 weeks before the official inauguration of this beautiful property was to be done by Paris Hilton. Beautiful Suite and the rooms. My entire family loved the washrooms and the toiletries more than anything. Lovely place to be in. We had two suites and two rooms for six nights. Great experience. 👍

[@TheVQueen]

Beautiful hotel with a lovely color scheme. The room and view were both gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your experience. This is definitely a bucket list contender.

[@moein-lifestyle]

🏢 Very nice hotel & room (03:20 - 12:10) . Excellent airport transfer (02:00)👌 Excellent foods (30:13) . In my opinion, the restaurant and breakfast section were very similar to the Armani Hotel in Dubai, but with a different decoration (32:25) 🍽️

[@Scott-Andy]

Truly love ALL your hard work and dedication to your channel ❤Bravo

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thx

[@afletchermansson4418]

The bar stocks Boodles Gin. Well played, Waldorf. Well played. I think the two cousins, William Waldorf and John Jacob, would be pleased with their Bangkok namesake. Thank you for another great tour, Dr. LTE.

Thank you for another great comment 👍

[@williehannon9306]

Beautiful as always. Hoping we can all travel safely soon. Good health Sir and thanks for adding luxurious colour to lockdown.

[@williamhoward8956]

We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok a week after it open in 2018 and found it to be absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, The Front Room restaurant with Chef Rungthiwa has since closed. The Front Room with its 10 course tasting menu was an amazing experience as was The Loft and The Brasserie. I hope they will have replaced The Front Room with something equally as tasteful upon my stay next year. You truly captured the grandeur of the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok in this video. Thanks for posting and sharing!

[@pflaffik]

since you obviously got a passion for gourmet experiences, Mandarin Oriental is still the gourmet’s best choice in Bangkok.

So relaxing, even in such a big city. I was to stay in the WA in Orlando last month but had to cancel. :(

Well a hotel I must say simple and clean. For me Astoria Boracay and Bohol in Philippines was an exquisite experience nothing beats that.

[@homer3152]

Great review of a stunning hotel..maybe I try it next time though I love the Millennium Hilton for its proximity to the river and its stunning sunsets enjoyed on the terrace of the Executive Lounge. I missed this in your review? Dont they have one? I love the happy hours in the Conrad Exec Lounges

[@ronaldwallace9524]

Wow your attention to detail is amazing.

If only you could have the confidence to add a commentary rather than subtitles, your channel would be the best travel channel here on KZbin. All in all good stuff. Keep it up.

Your video makes me want to book the hotel next time I visit Bangkok.

[@illfreakynana]

I stayed here last year. The staff is very friendly and the highlight definitely is the Pool. The breakfast was good and I liked the hanging honeycomb. The only thing I didn't like was the room controls (tablet) were overly complicated. I had a suit and it took me 5 mins to turn off the lights. Also if you don't set the 'clean my room' alert then they wont do it, but again you have to do it through the tablet control. A few days I was just excited to get out to the city and forget to switch it on. The daily fresh fruits were also a nice touch.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for your subscription. The rate depends on the room type and season

[@Serena_9]

I have always stay at St. Regis every time when visiting Bangkok, mainly for its generous complimentary laundry services 6 items per day and a dedicate butler service which makes St. Regis a true luxury hotel. I stayed in Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan few years ago, but it didn’t give me the same hype.

[@allwhatilove914]

I love those hotel reviews and videos, when in Bangkok I always stay at The Oriental. The Astoria I use to stay is in Jerusalem. But gosh I haven't seen it was more than half an hour video. No way I stay that long watching a hotel. 3-5 min would be fine.

Altho all this in Singapore, would love if you can make a vid about those hotels?

[@marcvilavan7616]

Great channel! Out of all the hotels you stayed at in Bangkok, which has the best breakfast in your opinion?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Waldorf Astoria has a spectacular breakfast display (not sure though whether it is still served during the pandemic).

[@franktr1124]

A very nice video, makes me feel homesick for Bangkok. I love to walk along Rajadamri, but if I had the choice, I would rather stay in St. Regis, the neighbour hotel. My dream would be to buy a condo above St. Regis or Magnolia above WA, but I cannot afford it. Thank you for the wonderful video

[@adventuroustravelearth5493]

Your video capture and editing is really impressive. If you shoot in V-Log this will handle any wide dynamic range issues and use a gimbal inside a car and plane for authentic looking camera stabilisation.

[@louiscy]

Even though the hotel room is nicely decorated and furnished, it looks really small.

[@abmong]

They have different room sizes. Want bigger, you need to pay for the suits. Plus this is Bangkok so space comes at a premium as in most big cities.

[@williamfrielinghaus8528]

The larger king rooms outside of suites are $320-$450 a night. Not terrible.

[@veddaga1504]

Which hotel is better? Waldorf Astoria or Park Hyatt Bangkok

[@AnAn-vd5up]

Park Hyatt is more private.
