Same, the Dynasty Grande was my first ever hotel in Thailand. It was very new itself at the time. I subsequently tried about 8 or 9 different hotels along the Nana/Asoke strip over the years but always had a soft spot for Dynasty Grande. The website is still up but has no updates and it is not possible to book anything through end of 2022.

Popular Post roobob Posted February 5, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2022 Quick summary of the trip. On Thursday night I went to Soi7 and Soi7/1...... there has been some new bars opened up there. It was a little busy than Soi 4..... some bars had more than others.... but for a week night was ok. Bkk seems to be slowly coming back to life on the bar scene. Talking in some bars...the girls are starting to head back. On saying that...there seemed to be more FL around. Walking around a few business are gone and looks like will not be back. Same with Hotels... a few favorites have closed their doors but what the future holds for them...who knows...but hopefully they reopen when things pick up. On the flights ....Air Asia.... both flights on time...both flights were half to three quarters full so people are travelling domestically. Vaccinated and unvaccinated people .....all of us..... can all get about together...enjoy each others company.... and get on with things...... and the sky will not fall in. cheers 1 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beer Garden was open and I had a look in in the afternoon and at night and it was the deadest I have ever seen it. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarus Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Glad someone 'took if for the team' to report that much of lower Sukhumvit was closed except there were still a few hookers around. Sad reality of the continued onslaught of a global pandemic. Wonder how long it will go on in Thailand?

Thanks mate. You will have a good time. It is not all the doom and gloom that some are reporting. Yes things are not the same but slowly are getting back to where it was. cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever someone posts up something positive on Thailand or give their actual on the ground experience you are one of the first to jump in with constant negative posts...why is that?? The only serious continued onslaught of the a global pandemic is in your own little bubble world and your mind. Fair dinkum mate...grow up ...... get yourself off the keyboard for awhile and get a life cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair dinkum mate...grow up ...... get yourself off the keyboard for awhile and get a life cheers Seems I hit a nerve? I thought it was a good trip report. We learned that one can travel unvaccinated on AirAsia despite policies stating otherwise. We learned that many hotels and favorite spots around lower Sukhumvit are closed. Like you, I just offered my opinion of what you described and photographed...nothing more. "Taking one for team" is a positive expression...in case you don't know. You mentioned reality awhile back in this thread. The reality is you are in a country where Covid infection rates are climbing. Many business are closed or empty. Other board members have mentioned this in their recent trip reports and recommended people stay home (or stay out of Bangkok) because "Covid is running rampant." Your report (and the latest Bangkok news) just confirmed this. Thank you. You are traveling unvaccinated so you claim? And after circulating in the heart of Bangkok you climb back on a plane and flew home to "backwater" peaceful Isaan. Did you bother to get tested prior to returning home? Will you wear a mask everywhere you go or isolate yourself for a week or so? I know...you live your life with utmost personal responsibility, right? I have an excellent full life. I live in a great city with fresh air, world class amenities, and almost no Covid. The health authorities will declare Covid locally "endemic" within a few weeks. The only inconvenience is having to wear a mask indoors in public places and to prove vaccination to eat or drink indoors. There are no restrictions except for non-citizens flying in from other countries -- they must be vaccinated (see link below). I choose to participate on this forum by choice. No bubble, mate.

The only life you have is spending all your time on the forum tapping on your keyboard to post up your doom and gloom messages. One only has to look at your content and times you post up ....... you would never get out of the house....lol.. Ahh...again another little subtle dig at where I live...... the way you continually bring it up makes one wonder that you are jealous of me being able to live in that area......but I am in the North East ...not the Midwest....555 To your link...I suggest you actually read what it says before you claim something......lol. Do not worry......you are safe as I have no plans of visiting the USA again...... my days of returning there for a visit have passed. cheers Edited February 6, 2022 by roobob 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a very nice chef there back around 2018/19. According to a very skinny man on the interweb Bullies is set to reopen in early March. The iconic Bull will remain in place.
