Which Marriott in Bangkok
I have lots of Marriott points and want to use them when I am in Bangkok in October. Should I pick the Renaissance or the Courtyard based on location and traffic?
Thanks
Gail

Since Marriott bought out Starwood, you have all sorts of options in Bangkok. I'd choose the Royal Orchid, located right on the river. The Renaissance is is a good (but very busy) location..

Marriott Sukhumvit Thonglor is lovely - great rooftop bar and right by the BTS. Also giant ROUND baths with views of the Bladerunner-like landscape were a hilight for me.

Providing hotel links would be helpful.

they are about equal for traffic, both are fairly close.

Sukhumvit park is a nice option, imo
