Unbelievable Bangkok Views: Thitikorn Grandview - My Brain Dump (and Honest Review!)
Okay, so let's talk Thitikorn Grandview. I just got back from Bangkok, and trust me, my brain is still fried from the heat, the tuk-tuks, and the sheer volume of amazing things. This place? It's… well, it’s got potential. And I'm gonna be brutally honest, because that's the only way I can roll.
First off, trying to write a hotel review is like trying to herd cats. There’s SO MUCH to cover. I'm going to try, but bear with me, because I might just drift off into remembering the Pad Thai I had (OMG, the Pad Thai!).
The Good Stuff (and the VERY good stuff): Views to Die For and the Pool That Saved My Soul
Let's start with the main selling point: the views. "Unbelievable Bangkok Views" is NOT hyperbole. Seriously. I think I gasped when I first walked into my room. High floor? Check. Giant windows? Check. The glittering skyline stretching out before me? Double check! It's the kind of view that makes you want to Instagram everything – and I did, shamelessly.
And the pool?! Oh. My. God. The pool. It was an outdoor pool up high, with that same spectacular view. After a day of thrashing around in the chaotic Bangkok streets, that pool was my sanctuary. I swear, I spent a solid three hours just floating there, gazing at the sun setting over the city, and slowly, slowly letting the stress melt away. Total bliss. They really nailed the "ways to relax" category. That pool is worth the price of admission alone. The "Pool with view" box? Definitely ticked.
Accessibility & Stuff That Makes Me Grunt a Little:
Accessibility is important, and I tried to figure it out. They list "Facilities for disabled guests," and an Elevator, which is a good start. But the details? Mmm, fuzzy. I'd call ahead to get a crystal-clear picture of how truly accessible it is. The same goes for the onsite restaurants/lounges. I suspect the views are available to everyone, but I'm not completely sure. We need more info!
The Room: Clean, Safe, and With a Decent Bed (Mostly, I Think)
The room itself was… well-appointed. It’s got all the basics: Air conditioning (essential!), a comfy bed (mostly), a desk for working (if you must), and a little fridge to keep your Singha beers cold. They also seem to take "Cleanliness and safety" seriously, which is a HUGE plus in the current climate. The "Rooms sanitized between stays" and "Hand sanitizer" were reassuring, and I appreciated the "Anti-viral cleaning products" thing. I'm not a scientist, but it made me feel safe. Definitely a positive experience. There was also free Wi-Fi in all rooms!
The “Additional toilet” category is funny. The reviews are ambiguous on this one: some say yes, some say no.
Food, Glorious Food (and Some Minor Hiccups):
Bangkok is all about the food, right? And Thitikorn Grandview had options! The "Asian breakfast" was a must-try – I gorged myself on dim sum and congee. The "Breakfast [buffet]" was decent, although I wasn’t blown away. The "Coffee/tea in restaurant" was much appreciated, though I wasn't always in the mood for drinking. I did have a couple of happy hour cocktails at the bar. And the "Poolside bar" was a winner for easy snacks and refreshment. The "Alternative meal arrangement" and "Room service [24-hour]" options are great to know, but I didn’t use them.
Dining, drinking, and snacking? Well, there's a lot to choose from! And the dining options seemed good. The food was decent, but next time, I will try more dishes.
Relaxation Station: Spa, Sauna, and the Temptation of Doing Absolutely Nothing
I'm not a huge spa person, but the sauna? Yes, please! I didn't get a chance to try the "Body scrub" or "Body wrap," but the thought of it after a long day of sightseeing was tempting. I did see the "Fitness center," which I, uh… didn’t visit. My idea of fitness in Bangkok involved vigorous bargaining in the markets and chasing down stray cats.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter (and Sometimes Don't)
The "Concierge" was super helpful with arranging taxis and giving directions (essential!). The "Daily housekeeping" was on point, and the room was always spotless. The "Laundry service" was a lifesaver after my accidental encounter with a mango sticky rice explosion (don’t ask). The "Cash withdrawal" and "Currency exchange" were handy, too.
Now, the "Gift/souvenir shop." Here's the thing. I went there, hoping for some cool, local handicrafts. Instead, I found… generic tourist tat. A bit disappointing, but easily ignored. The "Doorman" was always polite, and The "Elevator" saved me from unnecessary stairs, though they seemed slow at times, so I would sometimes use the stairs if I wasn't carrying anything.
For the Kids (and the Inner Child):
I don't have kids, but the fact that they have "Babysitting service" and "Kids facilities" is a big plus for families. I saw some families there, and they seemed pretty happy.
The Nitty Gritty: What Could Be Better (and My Random Observations)
- Internet Access: Wi-Fi was free in the rooms, which is great, but the speed wasn't always the fastest. Fine for browsing, but perhaps not ideal for heavy-duty work.
- Safety and Security: Seemed solid. "CCTV in common areas" and "Security [24-hour]" are always reassuring.
My Emotional Verdict (and Why You Might Want to Book It):
This place isn't perfect, but I loved it. Honestly? It's the view, the pool, and the overall feeling of peace that did it for me. After the chaos of Bangkok, Thitikorn Grandview felt like a haven. I spent a solid week here. I actually think I'd go back just for that pool. It sounds weird, but this place felt like home. This place is clean and safe.

Okay, buckle up, buttercup. Because this isn't your grandma's pristine travel itinerary. This is my potential descent into chaos at the Thitikorn Grandview Bangkok, Thailand. And trust me, it'll be a messy, beautiful, and probably slightly traumatizing ride. (But, hey, isn't all travel?)
The Thitikorn Grandview: Or, My Attempt to NOT Get Sunburnt and Eaten by Something Exotic (Or Both)
Day 1: Arrival and the Art of Doing Absolutely Nothing (Except Maybe Panicking)
Morning (7:00 - 9:00 AM): Arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). Okay, first hurdle: navigate the airport. I always get lost. Last time I ended up in a duty-free perfume store sniffing "Midnight Orchid" for a solid 20 minutes, trying to decide if it was worth the extra 50 Baht. (Spoiler: It wasn't.) This time, I swear, I'm getting the airport map app. Maybe. Fingers crossed my luggage makes it too. I am going to be a full-on mess if they lose my swimsuit.
Anecdote Alert: Remember that time I thought I was being clever and filled my carry-on with emergency snacks? The airport security folks in Istanbul loved that. Especially the enormous jar of peanut butter. Learned that lesson the hard way.
Morning (9:00 - 11:00 AM): Taxi/Grab to Thitikorn Grandview. Pray for a driver who speaks English (essential). Pray even harder for a driver who doesn't drive like they're auditioning for the Fast & Furious franchise. I'm easily carsick, and Bangkok traffic already has a reputation.
Late Morning (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Check-in. Oh god, the check-in. Will the staff understand my mangled Thai? Will I accidentally request a room with a view of a brick wall? Will I look like a complete tourist idiot? Most likely, yes to all.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Finally, the room! Unpack (haphazardly). Assess damage. (Probably not much; I'm a minimalist packer… unless you count the three books, four pairs of shoes "just in case," and a ridiculous inflatable flamingo.)
Afternoon (2:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Nap. Because jet lag is a beast. And I'm already exhausted from the airport and the potential check-in carnage.
Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Wander. Just wander. Explore the hotel, get a feel for it. Maybe find the pool. Maybe not fall into the pool. Consider ordering room service. Pizza? Pad Thai? The choices are… overwhelming.
Evening (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): Prepare for the evening: I'm thinking exploring the hotel and searching for some type of restaurant because my stomach is starting to rumble like a baby hippo. I need caffeine in me and a safe haven to eat.
Evening (7:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Dinner at a restaurant near Thitikorn Grandview: My research has failed me. I will probably look for "cheap eats" on Google Maps, cross my fingers, and hopefully stumble upon something delicious that doesn't involve questionable street meat.
Evening (9:00 PM onward): Collapse in bed. Maybe watch some trashy Thai television (with subtitles, please!). Plan tomorrow. Or, you know, just… exist.
Day 2: Temples, Tuks-Tuks, and the Existential Dread of Bargaining
Morning (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Wake up with optimism, only to face the reality of the day. Coffee is essential. Maybe try the hotel's breakfast buffet. (Be prepared for the "international breakfast" experience – potentially interesting, probably weird.)
Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Visit a temple. Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)? Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha)? Decisions, decisions. Research what's appropriate to wear (knees and shoulders covered, people!). I'm probably going to forget my own advice and end up looking like a scandalized tourist. And I'm bringing my camera. I just can't help myself. Pictures are documentation of your life!
Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Street food adventure! (Or, at least, attempting a street food adventure). I'm picturing it: a delicious but slightly scary-looking dish, a language barrier, and me pointing wildly at something and hoping for the best. I'm okay with the risk.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Ride a tuk-tuk. This is where things could get interesting. Bargaining is my weakness. I'm terrible at it. I'll probably overpay, suffer from exhaust fumes, and then secretly enjoy the chaotic thrill of the ride.
Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Explore a market. Chatuchak Weekend Market is a must, even if I get overwhelmed. (I will definitely get overwhelmed). I'll buy something I don't need. Probably multiple "somethings I don't need." This is just how I am.
Quirky Observation: Watching the sheer volume of stuff for sale at these markets is astounding. Shoes, plants, art…you name it! There's even live animals. And I bet someone is selling a baby goat.
Evening (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): Back to the hotel. Hide from the sun. Rest. Regroup. I am going to be drenched in sweat like a swamp monster by now.
Evening (7:00 PM - onward): Dinner. Maybe try a cooking class? Learn to make Pad Thai. Or maybe just find a restaurant with air conditioning. Actually, the air conditioning wins. Comfort and survival is the name of the game tonight.
Day 3: River Cruise and The Eternal Question of "What Did I Eat?"
Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): River cruise on the Chao Phraya River. Hoping for scenic views, not a seasickness attack. Hoping the boat doesn't sink, but who knows…
Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Lunch on the water. Or, if I'm feeling particularly brave, lunch at the floating market. (Deep breath.) I'm sure the food will be incredible, and I will probably regret not eating much of it.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Explore a hidden gem - a park, a garden, a place to escape the chaos. I need a break from the general insanity of the city. I hope to find a quiet moment of peace.
Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Get a massage. Let's do the massage. I need this. My aching muscles thank me. And I will probably fall asleep and snore. And be embarrassed.
Evening (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): Trying the hotel pool, hoping it's not full of screaming children. I will attempt to relax. I will fail.
Evening (7:00 PM - onward): Fine Dining Experience. I am going to find a really nice restaurant tonight. It's time to embrace the food.
Emotional Reaction: I swear, the sheer variety of experiences is overwhelming! Even just thinking about it makes me want to lie down and take a nap.
Day 4: Shopping Spree and the End is Nigh!
Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): More shopping! Maybe at a fancy mall. Maybe at a local market. Probably a mix of both. I'm bringing back at least one suitcase full of things.
Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Find something quick and easy. I'm probably in a shopping frenzy.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): "Culture" time. A museum. Maybe a museum dedicated to art. Or maybe just another temple, if I have energy.
Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Pack. The dreaded packing. Trying to fit everything I bought into my suitcase. And wondering why I brought so many shoes.
Evening (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Final dinner. A farewell to Bangkok meal. I will probably cry. Because food and travel are precious.
Evening (8:00 PM - onward): Taxi to the airport. Check-in
Unbelievable Bangkok Views: Thitikorn Grandview's Luxury Awaits! (Or Does It?) - A FAQ
So, Thitikorn Grandview... Is it *really* as amazing as the photos? Those sunset shots... are they even real?!
Okay, let's be real. The photos? Stunning. Like, jaw-on-the-floor stunning. And yeah, some of them are probably touched up... a *little*. But here's the deal: the views from Thitikorn Grandview? Mostly legit. I mean, I saw the sunset myself. Pink, orange, purple... the whole shebang. Brought a tear to my eye, it did. I'm not going to lie, the first hour I was there, I was just glued to the window. Completely useless! Couldn't even unpack. Now, the key is *which* room you get. My first room...ugh. The view was partially blocked by a (admittedly rather pretty) building. Totally deflating. Asked to switch (and had to argue slightly – more on that later), and the second room? Boom. Money shot. So... research your room, people. Or get ready to be disappointed. Just sayin'.
Alright, alright, views are good. But what about the *luxury*? Is it actually luxurious, or just... expensive?
Okay, this is where things get... complicated. "Luxury" is a loaded word, right? For me, luxury means no kids screaming in the hallway at 6 AM. And, thankfully, that box was ticked. But, seriously, the rooms were *beautiful*. Sleek, modern, that kind of thing. The bathroom? Marble. The bed? Plush. The amenities? Well, they had L'Occitane, which is always a win in my book. Felt like I was finally living that movie life. But. And this is a BIG but… There were a few hiccups. One time, the hot water gave me a freezing cold shower! Tried to call the front desk, got put on hold for ages, got cut off, and after several attempts, finally got someone who sounded like they just woke up. It’s a small thing, I know, but when you're paying a small fortune, you don't want cold showers. It broke the immersion, you know?
Okay, the food! What's the restaurant like, and is the breakfast buffet worth the hype?
The restaurant is called “Skyline Dining”, and the views from there? Incredible. Seriously. Eats? Mixed. The lunch I had one day was…fine. Nothing to write home about, but perfectly edible. Then, I tried the dinner. Woah. The steak I got... it was like they had a secret ingredient. I asked the waiter. He claimed some kind of special Thai seasoning. Whatever it was, it was awesome! Highly recommend it. Breakfast? Yeah, it’s worth it. I’m a sucker for a good buffet. They had everything, from the classic eggs to the fancy, exotic fruits. Freshly squeezed juice, good coffee. And the best part? The balcony seating. Sitting there, watching the city wake up, sipping a mimosa... pure bliss. Just, uh, watch out for the other guests. Some people are *very* territorial when it comes to the croissants. Seriously, I saw a fight break out over the last one!
What about the pool and spa? Are they as relaxing as they look?
The pool *looks* amazing. Infinity edge, overlooking the city skyline… Instagram heaven. It was also frequently crowded. Like, sardines-in-a-can crowded. Finding a sun lounger was a competitive sport. Seriously, I saw people staking their claim at like, 7 AM. I managed to squeeze in a few laps in the morning before the hordes arrived, and it was glorious. The spa? Now, that was a different story. That massage? Pure bliss. The therapist was phenomenal. The pressure was perfect. The aromatherapy... oh, the aromatherapy! I walked out of there feeling like a brand new person. Worth. Every. Penny. Absolutely. Go there. Get a massage. You won't regret it. Did I tell you about the time I slept through my alarm and almost missed my flight? Thank goodness for the spa! That's a story for another time...
How's the location? Is it easy to get around?
Okay, so the location is a bit of a mixed bag. It's not *right* in the thick of the action, which is good if you want peace and quiet. But it's also not super convenient for getting around. Taxis and Grab are readily available, of course. The BTS Skytrain is close-ish, but still requires a short taxi ride. I walked it one day, and boy, was that a mistake. (Bangkok humidity!) But! Here's a secret: The hotel staff can arrange for drivers which makes things much easier. Also! It's close to some *amazing* street food. Seriously. Some of the best Pad Thai I’ve *ever* had. You just have to be brave enough to wander a bit and try things. Don't be afraid of the unknown! It's part of the experience!
Anything else future guests should know? Any hidden costs or weird quirks?
Hidden costs? Yeah, there were a few. Mini-bar gets you every time. And be prepared for the usual hotel markups on everything. But honestly, the biggest quirk was the elevators! They were *slow*. And sometimes, they'd just...stop. I got stuck in one for a good ten minutes. Panicked a little. Turns out, it was a power outage, and the emergency lights worked. So, not the end of the world. But still... Also, the staff are generally lovely, but there were some communication issues. My requests weren’t always understood right away, and I had to repeat myself a few times. But they tried their best, and the smiles were genuine. Be patient. Be polite. And download a translation app, just in case! Oh! And don't forget your adapter! I almost forgot mine, and my phone would have died. Disaster! And another thing... pack light! Because, trust me, you will be buying things. I came home with so much stuff!
Okay, final verdict: Would you go back?
Hmm... That's the big question, isn't it? Despite my little grumbles, yes. I would. The views were breathtaking. The steak was phenomenal. The spa was pure heaven. And the staff, despite the occasional hiccup, were genuinely nice. But I'd go in with my eyes wide open. Know what you're getting. Factor in the potential for minor annoyances. And definitely, definitely, research your room. Look, it's not perfect. But is perfection even possible in hotels? Probably not. But Thitikorn Grandview, with its flaws and its glories, gave me an experience I'll never forget. That sunset...Hotelish
