While making the circuit of Lumpinee Park the other evening, the new Dusit Thani caught my eye. It’s indeed a great addition to skyline of Silom. Authorities are also improving all paved roads and walkways in the park. The resurfacing should be completed in time for high season.

welcome addition of another budget hotel in the area.  Very high budget though as I see rooms advertising for 13000 baht or so.

I hope to be able to report, later in November,  budget allowing!

I saw an early bird special on agoda but 1 night there could pay for my 4 nights at the quarter 😅

13k baht is way out of my budget

I’m content with my memories of old Dusit where I could occasionally find $144 rate on Agoda in their huge Dusit rooms with lounge privileges.

They were great rooms, and the staff in the lounge knew that I didn't like much ice in my gin & tonic! No lounge privileges  this time, dont think lounge is open yet, but have booked double aspect room. I hope the pool, which appears to be on the 5th floor, is bigger than the old one!

I used to really like the cocktail bar on the top floor, enjoying my dry martinis with the lovely views over the park. Is there any sign of a bar on the top floor of the new building?
