Does anyone know why the Siam Grand Hotel is not opened yet ?? It looks like it's all finished and looks great ??

Udon Map should get them to sponsor.. I don't see a website for it doing a Google Search.. I think if they were pending a "soft opening" they'd at least have a website..

Siam Grand is part of the Karin Hotel group and they don't have a website either. I guess they don't realise the importance of a website or hotel booking websites.

yes today most off them need af webpage - but this only make the price higher - here im town several guesthouse has no webpage or som bookingplace but is always full - they are cheaper than them on bookingsite

looking on latestays. always 50% discount

for 10 years ago on samui, no webpage and all cheap and 90% full -
today, most on webpage, all expensive (they has to pay the booking) and now half empty

so the internet is nice but expensive but there is no way back but maybee not same in few years - i think everyone will book direkt on the hotels homepage and pay with their mobile, not need for these bookingswebpage who only cost a lot off money

As grand as the Siam Grand looks from the outside, if it's a private venture, I'm afraid it will not be grand at all. My experience with hotels in Thailand is: if you expect international standards of quality in a hotel, you'll have a difficult time finding such in a privately owned venture.
The new hotel may indeed be a fine place to stay, but I'll be surprised if it exceeds the quality of what's already available in Udon.
If the hotel were eligible to win a prize today, it'd win for 'Hotel Taking the Longest Time to Build' and counting!

I used to have a guest house and 90% of the bookings came from the website. The website cost peanuts to put together. All you need is some photos, a map and contact details for bookings. I'm not sure if the Karin is full every night but it wouldn't hurt to have a basic website at the very least.

yes i agree Lee, if they want to bussiness, they need a webpage - same what I say, booking this way and pay with your mobilephone.

but I am not sure they need all these webpage as agoda, because they ask them to raise the price, so they can give discount, and then your room rates get more expensive and then less customer
