    I also went to the neighboring Citrus Suites hotel for breakfast because I prefer buffet spreads over "a-la-carte" as I like sampling different items. Also, buffets usually are less expensive than eating a-la-carte from the menu, particularly when you want your brekkie to be a substitute for your lunch.

    The neighboring Citrus Suites hotel offers its above average breakfast buffet, as you've correctly stated already, for 250 Baht to non-hotel guests which is a steal IMO. 

    They have a good variety there, from cold cuts, fruits, pastry, grilled tomatoes to excellent hot and spicy Asian items. They also have an egg station. The beverages you get are from coffee and juice machines. As long as they have enough space for their own hotel guests, you should be able to get a table if you're staying at the Dynasty Grande or at the Phachara Suites.

    Official closing time is 10:30 am by the way.



    Thx Thanks!

    Ok thanks Flipflops, SAG and Mikel, I'll definitely try to set it up at the airport.

    As I ordered a pick up service for my arrival at the airport, they'll be waiting to pick me up as I make my way to the main arrivals area. I'll see if the driver is willing to wait while I get my SIM card set up.... otherwise, I'll go to Terminal 21 and I believe there's a DTAC store on the 6th floor.

    Their desks are right in front of you as you exit immigration.  The queues move quickly - just hand them your phone, passport and the cash you want to spend.


    Thanks Mikel.

    Quick question... my memory is fuzzy from a couple years ago. Upon exiting immigration will I have picked up my bags from the carousel? Or can I go to these cell phone counters before getting my bags. Thx

    hahahaha... what if it's a unibrow... lol... does that mean they're willing to take it up the wrong'un...

    Just booked the Dynasty Grande via Agoda for mid-Feb and noticed a check box for Mozio ground transportation from Suvarnabhumi to DG for $11 USD. I ticked it and paid for it. Has anyone else tried Mozio from the airport to their hotel while in BKK?

    I typically take a taxi but last time I was in town, the lines were huge and it took me almost 90 minutes to get one. So I am looking at alternative modes of transportation...

    Nice report. I am not sure how the rest of your stay went... but I am sure that if you ever needed anything else from the hotel porter, he'd jump through hoops to make you happy.

    I may be going overboard but on my first day of any trip at the hotel that I am staying at (LOS or elsewhere) - I typically introduce myself and tip porters, reception folks, security guards, maids and bartenders/waiters 2 to 3 times what I would normally tip. After the first day, I tip based on the service. This small gesture goes a long way with some folks - especially those that typically don't get tipped. Same sorta reason I'd buy/tip a mamasan or papasan. Anwyho, I've been helped when in a bad jam by these folks, received room upgrades at no cost, provided free drinks/food etc., received valuable intel/advice and made new friends. 

    So don't worry too much about your 900 Baht, I am sure it went to good use.

    Looks like Phachara suites is no longer in the running for me. I was looking to bring back a couple guests per night during the course of my stay:

    Hello Gents, 

    It’s been a while but it’s that time again where I must get my mongering on!

    In past trips, I’ve stayed at the majestic suites and the majestic grande... but I am feeling it’s time for a change.

    I am down to 2 options:

    dynasty grande or phachara suites

    Out of these two, which would you recommend? My main concern is being able to bring up 1 to 2 guests at a time. Are there any joiner fees beyond a single guest? Thought I saw something about that for Phachara? And does dynasty grande have a 1 hour time limit for guests? 

    And which of these hotels is cleaner and provides better WiFi?

    Thanks in advance!
