AS NOTED BY ANOTHER OP, PUTTING A BANDAID ON A BLEEDER DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE ON-GOING CONSTRUCTION WORK AND STILL TO BE COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION WORK WILL ONLY CAUSE GUESTS ARRIVING AFTER THE "SO-CALLED" 01 APRIL OPENING TO BE DISTURBED

Walked by March 31, supper time

So, there are still lots of outside tile workers and it's still a construction site, but you can (from the BTS stairs) see inside and the lobby area is furnished nicely and there are people washing windows and floors. Outside,, they're scrubbing the driveway. A news crew looked like they might be there to do a "Grand Opening" price, but then I lost track of them. The connector to the BTS looks like it is a long time away, though the station is right there, so no problem.
In short, it looks like they're planning to open on time, but I couldn't get inside to see if there are people "practicing" at the restaurant, front desk, etc. No way to evaluate. I will try to get by on the 2nd after they open. For me, I think I'll keep my Grand Hyatt Erawan reservation instead (April 3), as I have a 16-hour flight on the 4th, and want to be rested and well taken care
of.


I am sure the St. Regis will be lovely, but the uncertainty is not relaxing.
