Thanks to you all for your great comments. Curt1591, I only wish I remembered what I was looking at...it's so overwhelming! I had identified one buddha as the Emerald Buddha and a Fodorite commented that it wasn't...so now, I have no idea what's the significance of the elevated buddha in one shrine.
rhkkmk, I'm envious that you're getting to Bangkok in the fall....I feel I didn't get to experience all the food (loss of appetite) and shopping (Red Shirts' shutdown of shopping area...thank goodness for Jim Thompson outlet store!) that bkk has to offer.

Mango7, you're right...the room itself was pretty bland. The overall setting is what made it so special...eating breakfast along the river, the spa was the best we've been to, the restaurants were good but not great...and taking the hotel shuttle back and forth made it seem more exotic. But, having said all that, I would try a different hotel if we went back.
