Hotels tend to have 3 renovation cycles: refurbishment, basic renovation and complete renovation.
Refurbishment occur after every 3 (minimum) to 6 (maximum) years: furniture, fixtures and equipment. Timing depends of how cheap or lavish the owners are.
After about 12 years comes general basic renovation.
Most owners never get to a total complete renovation as that happens generally after 40 years or so.

Just checked into a spa room. I would have waited for more to report on, but this is just about unbelievable for 2,500 Baht. I can’t speak for the standard/deluxe rooms, but this is sweet! This report is on room 208. I’ll update it as need it tomorrow when I move into 308. There were some plumbing issues up there today, I understand. Maybe we have now definitively answered the question, “Just how many condoms fit in a standard drain?”
If the guy who is bumping me out of here is reading this, I suggest you read my FR. Then, should you find occasional pools of liquids in strange places, just keep repeating, “It’s only sweat; it’s only sweat!”
Don’t ponder, “How could sweat get on the ceiling like that, and isn’t that a condom embedded in it?”
Three TV’s including a big flat screen for watching from the couch and two smaller CRT’s for the bed and the Jacuzzi. The latter two are hooked up to DVD players – the flat screen seems to have just a cable input, though neither DVD player is bolted down, so if one wanted a big screen experience of, say, something splattering on someone’s face, it could be arranged.
Good wi-fi as is evidenced by this message. Much better than the apartment where I am “really” living. There was a RTB post about half a year ago mentioning an in-room laptop, but there doesn’t seem to be one. Hopefully it won’t show up on my bill. I’d say not worth the hassle, given the number of guests who would show up without one. Better to work on in-room hookers.
The room is huge by any 2,500 baht standard: It actually spans the building, the equivalent of two rooms plus a hallway. Maybe twelve or thirteen meters.
The blackout slides for the windows are a great touch – they cut down a bit of the noise, and utterly block the light. So, if one would, and I stress that I’m speaking hypothetically here, close the ones in the bedroom first, then close the ones in the Jacuzzi room, one could find one’s just-in-from-the-sunlight’s eyes taxed severely and very suddenly recall that there is a step down from the spa room into the living room, i.e., where the damned light switch is.
The window in front of the desk has a conventional curtain, but it is essentially opaque, so light there is not a factor, either. Sound, though, is. I hate to bring up this bogyman from many previous posts, but I’m trying to be unbiased. There is construction beside the hotel (hence in front of the desk window). Not the jackhammer/pile driver type of work, but a lot of tapping and occasional power tools. I’m not terribly worried about it at night, but I don’t know when it will resume in the morning. I am not in a good position to assess it subjectively because I am a very light sleeper, so my “reality” might only be shared by other people who have actually been awakened by a mouse walking on their ceiling back home. Really! I’ve been wearing earplugs as I sleep for the last three weeks and anticipate doing the same here, so I don’t expect a problem.
Nice feature: The desk phone has a key that disables the keypad while still allowing incoming phone calls. No risk of TG calling sponsor in Europe while you are in the shower or a coma.
Really nice feature: The tabletop statue of incredibly obese woman who would make Jabba the Hutt look petite. So a punter whose excessive alcohol consumption the night before led to a choice he might not have otherwise made can sit on the couch staring at it, realizing that things could have been worse, maybe even as that choice trims his beard in the bathroom.
It’s the little things: The power outlet by the desk is a strange looking thing that I think is designed to accept prongs from many countries, just like a good bar girl.
It’s definitely designed with nocturnal activities I mind. There are renditions of women in limited attire gazing at you everywhere except, mercifully, the bathroom, because who really want to piss on the wall because of an uncommanded erection? One very slight negative in this stress is the lack of sheer curtains over the windows, so any daytime privacy must be a gloomy one, which suits me fine, but YMMV. I suppose this is really a very practical approach, though, because the wooden blackout slides can be wiped down, whereas the maid might have to wring out the sheer curtains.
There is a really scary water heater thing above the toilet. If I found one of those things in my house, I’d be calling the bomb squad.
In closing, I hope RTB gets credit for my staying here if there is a commission or the like. The hotel’s website had a “referred by” drop-down which I think included this site, but I just walked in to make my reservation in person a couple days ago, largely to get a personal idea of the distance to Sukhumvit, etc.. By the way, the taxi business was a real problem for me both times I’ve come here, even after reading the suggestions. The first time, at night, we made it all the way to the little intertie soi to Soi 20, but this afternoon we only got to the Rembrandt before opposite direction traffic stopped us. Both times I tried to explain to the driver how to get there via Soi 20 and the little soi, (and hence be that opposite direction traffic), but failed miserably. The second guy seemed to understand the “go up Soi 20” bit, but I realized that he didn’t know the shortcut, and I certainly didn’t know how to spot the turn-off on Soi 20. But my next attempt holds promise: The Swiss(?) guy at the desk said that there was a big “Polaris” sign and an exotic car dealer (Ferrari, etc) at that corner, so I’m going to try to micromanage the next ride: Not even mention Soi 18, but have him take me to 20 and work it from there. The walk to the hotel from the little soi is negligible. I’ll let you know how that works out, possibly from a remote village in Southern Thailand after paying a local kid ten baht to crank a generator.

the swiss guy is the boss, I am his inept english manager. they call me curly.
I think they fitted the new gate. there should not be any more noise tomorrow.
and thanks for the nice report I ask my boss to buy you a beer tonight.
also another good news, you do not have to move the room if you do not want, but you can.
I hope my boss will pay me some commission finally.

RTB - I'll likely just stay here then - short of a visit from one of your avatar's lovelies, I can't imagine the upper room would be any better.
I figured out how to make the scary thing over the toilet make hot water. It was probably on a timer, but the water was just 33 degrees. I found a magic button and all is well. I was a little relieved when it stopped heating in the high seventies: Nothing like having a total novice operating exotic equipment to bring things to a cataclysmic end!
Moto drivers have no problem with the up-20-over-to-18 route and they don't even need it! I rode home from Robinson's after carefully, through the universally understood language of wild gesticulation, describing the location of the hotel. Often the driver/pilot/lunatic would yell a question back over his shoulder, and I would respond in the affirmative - "Khrap". Or so he thought. Actually, I was generally yelling "Crap!" because of cars, trucks, buses, BTS trains, etc., cutting in front of us every time he turned to ask me something. I wonder how often they have to change the brakes on those things. How about their underwear?
When I returned things were deathly quiet, except for a soft, rhythmic pounding from a room somewhere above that I do not believe had a thing to do with construction, so I suspect the RTB is correct about the gate work being done.
