and i still hate the concierge at this hotel. this OLD man with glasses seems to be the biggest idiot in bangkok.
when i were there 2 years ago, my friend called me from the cab complaining that the driver wont use the meter. i told the concierge to tell the driver to put the meter on. the man talked talked talked ,and than told me the driver wont use the meter...
this time same thing again. friend in a taxi, meter not used, i told the same man to tell the driver to put the meter on. after 2-3 minutes of talking he told me its not possible as the driver said he has a negotiated rate of 1500baht to the hotel...........
i mean whats wrong with this guy , i told him to tell the driver to put the meter on. he should help us, but this guy is totally incompetent.
so forget about the staff at the hotel.!!!
anyway the new lounge on the 26th floor is very nice, and the new suite was very nice too .

I know the old codger you're talking about. I dislike him too!!
I bypass him and go to the two guys on the door, or anyone else on the desk bar him.
There is a con going on at the ROS with the taxis, and has been for a long time, they will not allow anyone other than their own crowd onto the tarmac. I stay at the ROS every time I am in town and the staff know that I know the "bosses" and I must say they are very wary of me. I am back there this weekend, so I will say to four eyes, Hey hear you are still not telling your mates to turn the meters on, I mean we have to have a bit of fun sometimes, he will fumble about and no doubt pretend he doesn't understand me. I like it down by the river, I can work all day and if i choose to just relax at night, i grab a table and chair by the river and watch the world go by, dressed any old how. Up town at the Grande, i always feel I am still working. The pool is better too. Funny enough I agree with the check in staff, nobody in particular, but they have never been the happiest lot. I get on well with the front office SPG man and I always mail him before I arrive now because from Australia we arrive early Am, so now they are waiting for me with a room. regards bkkrop
