samori1 Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 I have been able to negotiate special rates for myself and a group of friends at the Grand President on the basis of volume and frequent usage. As I shall soon be getting a condo and will no longer be using the GP I thought I might make one last bid to get their prices down even further on the basis of a "club" i.e. Board Members, with over a 1000 members many of whom visit BKK more than once a year and need accommodation in the Suk area. Not quite sure how the scheme could be administered yet, or if Khun Sanuk would have any objections, but feel something can be worked out. What I need is extra bargaining chips. If any board member has stayed at GP within the last year and is prepared to E-mail me the dates, with Marcell's approval I will give it a go. The more names and dates I have the stronger my bargaining position will be. samoripas@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 I'll be staying at GP for 4 days in December and 4 days in January - haven't registered yet - use me as a chip also. A question - just need to confirm that GP is guest friendly - had a couple of conflicting reports. Regards to all Planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Hi, No objections from me. I obviously don't use them, but if you can save some of the guys here some money, by all means proceed. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyfarang Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 I'll be in Bangkok this winter and would consider staying at the GP with a good rate, but I need something larger than Topaz. If you want to use me as a chip, say I'm staying 30 days arriving November 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 16, 2001 Report Share Posted June 16, 2001 I love the GP and plan on spending 7/5---for the start of my next trip. My last trips were 12/00,5/00,10/99. Let me know if I can help secure a discount although I am very content with the price I have been paying(1150-1350)for a topaz studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 My experience over the years with GP shows that they are not interested in this kind of hotel-business: they cater for long staying guests as they claim themselves to be a "service appartement" - but not a hotel! Got that in a lengthy discussion with Roongvadee, one of the assistant managers. Tried to evaluate why they couldn't include the 5% charge on credit card payment into my room bill (they stated it separately as "different service charge", difficult for me to claim back at my company) But once I asked who is the resident manager (which is the executive in every hotel), I just looked into black eyes with a big questionmark. That position is not existing. They only do have a property director - but that chap is most of the time out playing golf. Result: service and customer relations is not a strong point at GP.

Red Dawg Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 I will be staying in a Topaz Suite at the Grand President for about a month beginning in early July. If you can negotiate a discount for board members please count me in. Regardless of the outcome, thank you for the effort. Red Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
