Dynasty Grande

[coxyhog]

On my recent visit to BKK I had a walk up Soi 6 to see what was happening at the DG.It's my favourite hotel in the big city.

It is open,although the coffee shop outside is closed and the front desk is now repositioned and much smaller.

They did tell me the price of a room & a suite but I can't remember what they were although not expensive.

[roomark]

I haven't stayed there , but wondered what it was like though I've stayed in Pachara Suites opposite a couple of times which are good.

[Golfingboy]

Took a screenshot for these 2 months off a booking site, December was quite higher. This is Canadian $, so multiply by 28 or so

 

[Phantom51red]

Great place to stay,good gym aswell,wasnt open last year,glad to hear its open now tho.

[maipenrai]

I'm also glad to hear this, been staying there for years whenever I'm in BKK. 

[Nickrock]

Never tried the place will go check it out in a few days time is that behind Nana plaza

[Pumpuynarak]

Its my hotel of choice when staying in Bangers, great hotel imo. Car parking on site, walk in shower and i've never paid more than 2700bht per night, it ticks all my boxes.

Walk up Soi Nana until you turn left onto Soi 6,then it's up there on the right.

Or walk up Soi 6 from Nana BTS.

[nampla69]

One time I stayed there walls were a bit thin and Khun Falang and Ms Boom Boom were at it like a noisy pack of Soi Dogs on heat. She was either having a great time or suffering from some unnatural sexual practice ......apart from that great location for sure !!

Used to stay at the Dynasty Inn on Soi 4 in the very early days. Never checked out the Grande.

 

Soi 4 got a bit tiring for me over the years. But Dynasty Inn had a nice little place to sit out front. You could eyeball all of the talent going to/from. Nice little relax spot for prime up time. 

[Yessongs]

No fans of " The Dawin"  5 minute walk to Nana....this was where I always stayed at......recently re-modeled during Covid. 

@Mr. Smooth Perhaps a future meet up with that "Smooth Criminal"  aka Mr. Smooth in Jan here. 

We are moving back to Bangkok, back to my wife's home in 8 days.

I've stayed at both the Dawin and Dynasty Grande - I believe they were, perhaps still are, owned by the same group - and I like the Dynasty Grande more; better rooms IMHO, quieter as on a side street, and a spacious parking lot with good drop off area, unlike the Dawin where you are dropped off/picked up at the curb.

Soi 4 got a bit tiring for me over the years. But Dynasty Inn had a nice little place to sit out front. You could eyeball all of the talent going to/from. Nice little relax spot for prime up time. 

My last time in Thailand, August 2019, I stayed here my last couple of nights before flying back home. Loved the location, maybe 150 feet to the entrance of Nana Plaza, and after about 7 pm, would see all the FLers standing on the sidewalk out front of the lobby just waiting for a customer.

What I liked about it was that off to the left, there is an access lane that goes to the back where the elevator was to take you upstairs to your room, as I had requested a room in the back away from the street noise as much as possible. I took a couple of FLers to my room using that access, no need to go through the lobby and front desk.

Would have booked again for a couple nights in January, but at the time they weren't listed on Agoda, so reserved a hotel just across Sukumvit Rd and up a side soi, but still within a 3-4 minute walk from Nana and all the classic bars in the area.

Stayed in the Dynasty Inn for my first 4 nights ever in Thailand. Was a great spot. Like you grew tired off Soi 4 and would stop further down Sukhumit. in subsequent years.

Also liked the Dynasty Grande, but agree with Namps on the thin walls there.

Sorry to hear that.

Actually may end up how things will end for many of us. I suppose I can think of worse ways.

 

I feel sorry for those hotel maids sometimes. Tough enough job as it is. But,  they are usually the ones who make the grizzly discoveries. Something that is not easily forgotten.

i was remembering same experience, and some rooms no windows, really a shit hole but then think it was the old dynasty, on the nana soi, and not the new one launched about 11 yrs ago.

He was found with his hands cuffed behind his back & a plastic bag tied around his neck.

Well... I suppose a bit different than most. 

 

Well written, considerate obit. 

 

I have never heard about this case. Would be seriously interested to learn more about it, particularly since there may have been other similar such incidents during that time period.

[coxyhog]

There were similar incidents.

Wayne was either on his way to or coming back from a visa run to Penang.

That's all I know.I was told by phone by Colin Dresner,also now sadly not with us,on the way to work at BAe Woodford.I had to stop driving for a while as I was in tears.

BTW when I Googled him the first two links were to posts on here,pics that I put up from the old days.

Steve, we are at wifey's home for a long time per say, next trip back home to my place would be if my Daughter gets married ( perhaps in a year or two) or my Son knocks up his wife and I will be a Grandfather for the first time!  Time will tell. 

Yeah all of you guys that are in the Bangkok area right after the first of the year, hit me up, dinner/drinks are on me. Minburi has some great restaurants as you know Steve, perhaps a meet up like I said, right after the first of the year would be great. Would like to meet your wife and you know Thai gals, they all get along pretty well. 

We have already started the " Yessongs" farewell dinners last night, I am on my ass right now as I had 3 "Cadillac" Margaritas at Pedro's Mexican restaurant.....trying to get well and hit the gym to feel better. I even got wifey to try one....she drank half...LOL! 

@Binlid Wifey is not too happy with me this morning, she blames her headache on me for making her drink half the "Cadillac" Margarita. She DOES NOT like Tequila LOL!  There is a price to pay when you roll with "Yessongs" LOL!
