Woofer1 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Just a quick update on this hotel. There are two buildings, Front one was renovated 2 years ago completed nice Bum Hose in All rooms etc. Great place to be, as little Café downstairs offers Good food (Slightly overpriced) for those lazy legs who don't feel like shopping around. Coffee is what you need after a heavy night (Guaranteed to wake up the dead) Not so good, and what was not posted on the Hotel website is the fact that Rear Building is now undergoing renovations. and there is a NOISY Phase they are going through presently starting 9AM to 5PM. With a guy on the small ledge, they are replacing all the rooms windows facing the pool, so Pool seems to be in the Danger area, at lest the side closest to back building. This worker for last 2 days was knocking the windows frame out towards the inside using a Sledge Hammer, Can't get a shuteye unless you've got earplugs. They are about 30% done as this is written, and today, finally managed to get hold of a Wrecking Saw but still using Hammer to knock them down. Just a warning that next 2 weeks seem high Decibel area time, as they are bound to do same noisy stuff re installing new ones after. Hope for them there is not heavy rain, as all fcade of the building will be exposed to environment. Wonder how the plaster they are spreading on ceiling will have a chance to dry in this High humidity times. That's all Guys 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiamSam Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Good to know Woofer1. I often stay at the Dynasty Grande and was planning on doing so again this November. I think I will look elsewhere this fall. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofer1 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Dawin is a nice alternative, same chain but smaller rooms. I'll try to upload pictures of the state of the situation. You guys judge if it will be finished by early November. Personally, I doubt it, but you never know, as they seem to move quite fast at "Demolition" I am watching the 1st room being "Rebuilt" across from mine, it will be the measuring Gauge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofer1 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Latest Shots from Nov 3 PM Now I am not a Structural Engineer, but look at the left hand side of pictures, and see where the Supporting wall is now gone at the corner, Guess the Load earing is all on this little Jack (Which by the way they move from floor to floor down as they go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiamSam Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Construction should be finished by the time you check out Woofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardhi Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 There are no load bearing walls in Thailand - the entire building is supported by pillars spread throughout the building. The walls are just added later and can be broken down or moved - it makes no odd's to the building strength. They will have it done - looks like the are just putting floor to ceiling windows to me. Why they think that is important though is beyond me - the view is only of the other wing !!!!. Can't say I have stayed there recently - but I do not remember it being painted green before. Looks crap IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
