December 31, 201213 yr I hope they are better managed than last time (they closed about a decade ago) along with another chain from OZ (which was more reasonably priced but often arrived cold).
December 31, 201213 yr If it taste like Pizza Hut pizza in Thailand you can have it.if it taste the same as the pizza's they make in the us then i'm up to it.
January 1, 201313 yr If it taste like Pizza Hut pizza in Thailand you can have it.if it taste the same as the pizza's they make in the us then i'm up to it. I had a pizza at Dukes in Chiang Mai yesterday. My wish list for 2013 now includes a branch in Bangkok. Off topic I know but the best I have ever tasted in Asia.
January 1, 201313 yr From the outside, it looks like there was customers inside already... sure its not open already?
January 1, 201313 yr From the outside, it looks like there was customers inside already... sure its not open already? It's open and they've got a fleet of motorbikes for delivery.
January 2, 201313 yr Author Thanks for the replies. I hope it tastes like Dominos in the us/uk and not like Dominos in Australia! Also Hope they do the dipping sauce for the crusts.
January 2, 201313 yr Thanks for the replies. I hope it tastes like Dominos in the us/uk and not like Dominos in Australia! Also Hope they do the dipping sauce for the crusts. I got the UK herb dipping sauce in with the chicken wings. Someone maybe ought to point out to them that it's actually for the crust. From what I could see on the website only BBQ sauce was available as a paid extra sauce. They are UK style dominos pizzas not AUS. Edited January 2, 201313 yr by frankold

I thought they opened a branch in the Emporium on the top floor a few years back. Maybe it has since closed?
January 3, 201313 yr @ Spaniel Yes it closed down this past year. Bad location, hard for anyone to see it. Good food because they used the recipes from the original dukes in CM. However things were slightly different e.g. the prices were a bit higher and the menu was a bit more limited. I dream of the day Dukes opens a full restaurant in bkk.... Ok back to dominos...im at work and cant open FB. any word on the opening date?
January 3, 201313 yr Popular Post I dream of the day Dukes opens a full restaurant in bkk.... I have heard rumors that they are in the process of looking for a location to do so.
January 4, 201313 yr Popular Post Ok so I ordered Dominos last night. I went online and the website says that they will have their online ordering system set up soon and that you can call for delivery. It was just after 9 and I did so promptly. The lady on the phone spoke absolutely perfect American english, a true native speaker. About 15 minutes later however, I received a call from Dominos and an Indian sounding guy was trying to tell me something urgent but it was a bit difficult to make out. In the end he was saying that normally they don't deliver to my soi. I found that quite odd as they are located at sukh 22 and I live at sukh 36, essentially one bts stop away. He said their delivery area was Sukh 8-24, but I believe that he was referring to the area that qualifies for the "30 min or free" promotion. He said the driver may be a little late and I replied that it was quite alright I could wait a bit longer. The food arrived probably 40 min after I ordered and was still hot. The pizza was smallish but enough to feed two and came with a large order of garlic bread and chicken wings both of which were par for the course. The total for the meal was 339 and with delivery 378. I gave the delivery guy 400 to give him a 22 bt tip. Respectful delivery guy who kind of freaked out when I asked him if he had chili with him, he was scared I would be upset that he didn't have it, lol. The pizza was very thin crust and was about a 6.8/10 in my view. Sauce was standard, cheese was ok, but the pepperoni was a little disappointing as was the crust that broke up fairly easily.
January 4, 201313 yr Yup.....sounds like a UK style Dominos. I find the quality there varies widely too. I think it will be the best delivery pizza in town though.

January 8, 201313 yr There has been a Dukes in Bangkok for a couple of years. Not any more - it (unfortunately) closed late last year. Great news if, as UG said earlier, they're re-opening elsewhere.
January 8, 201313 yr How many of you tip delivery guys? Just asking because most Thais don't give any tip. When in Rome, do like...
January 8, 201313 yr How many of you tip delivery guys? Just asking because most Thais don't give any tip. When in Rome, do like... I tip 10-20 bt for food delivery, often just giving the change or if it is like less than 8 bt change, ill take the change and give him a 20. Why? I can afford it, makes me feel good, makes him (delivery guy) feel good, and hopefully, just maybe, he will remember me next time. With this dominos pizza order i gave him 22 bt for all of the above reasons plus the simple fact that it was the first delivery to my place and why not give the impression you are generous? how can it hurt you? Yes Will you can do as the Romans do, but I disagree that Thais don't tip; some do, some dont. Im from a tipping culture, and of course ive scaled it back since moving here, but I still believe in the logic behind it. As for the cries of "you dumbass Yank you are ruining for everyone else"...I dont give a flying fart what it does to you.

Well, I'll take it as someone who is having a bad day and is very tired because only illiterate individuals would misunderstand what I wrote! Of course, you can tip him. Will he remember you? I can't give you an accurate answer because everybody acts differently. From my experience, many don't care and don't give a better service because they previously got tipped. It is just a matter of culture

January 8, 201313 yr How many of you tip delivery guys? Just asking because most Thais don't give any tip. When in Rome, do like... I dont give a flying fart what it does to you. I think it is not a very kind statement. At least, not in a polite society...
