OK, just got back from 3 weeks in Bangkok, stayed at Pinnacle Lumpini:
1. I've been going to Bangkok for mucho years, this is the BEST hotel deal ever! Through Jimmy at Dragon Castle the price is, yes, 850 Baht/day ($20) and this includes a SUPER breakfast buffet for two. Jimmy turns out to be extremely helpful, you pay him upon arrival, and his English is perfect (spent 10 years in Los Angeles).
2. The location is very convenient, you can walk to Silom in 20 minutes and the Babylon in ten minutes, and, let's face it, the Babs has to currently be the best gay bath house in the world! If you can't make out there you should have been buried years ago..
3. OK, you don't have a phone in the bathroom, and, sorry girls, no hairdryer, BUT the service is great and friendly, CNN and in-house movies, the rooms beautifully maintained with clean linens and two bath towels daily.
4. I'm returning in December for the holidays and have already booked with Jimmy.
