I detected a Christmas hesitancy and Interestingly, some like The Banyan Tree, Intercontinental, and The Siam were yet to decorate when I visited in early December.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Siam Bangkok told me they were flat out with weddings and needed to respect that not all brides wanted a Christmas theme &#8211; <em>what&#8217;s wrong with these brides<\/em> I wanted to say? But then I guess some have been waiting two years for their big day!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">My assessment? For the most part, Bangkok&#8217;s Christmas decorations can be described as <i>so so,<\/i> but if you know where to look, they are brilliant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Let&#8217;s start with the most awesome Christmas decorations at the <strong>Grand Hyatt Erawan<\/strong>.
