Bangkok and the Marriott Resort and Spa Compliments of Marriott's frequent guest program.	March 17 - 20, 2002	The hotel is located south of the main part of the city on the Chao Phraya River. The river is a central highway for the city and is used for every imaginable kind of transportation (bus, taxi, commercial, sightseeing, barges full of everything).
Nice room	Great View	Super service

	Morning rainstorm The morning after we arrived, we were awakened to a torrential downfall. The kind of rain that will get you real wet.

	There are an incredible number of partially constructed buildings along the waterfront and elsewhere in the city. These are the after effects of the crash of the Thai economy a few years ago. Some have ben "under construction" for many years.


This building was under construction when we were last here eight years ago	It has been standing empty, never completed	It was supposed to be a Sofitel

Here it was in
1994
