I have stayed all over Silom area--Tarntawan, Saladang Place, Babylon Barracks, Swiss Lodge, and now the Pinnacle. By far, the best deal is the Pinnacle. It's the cheapest (850 baht thru Jimmy), includes 2 ABF, taxes, and is within walking distance of good Thai places ("JustOne"is really nice, on the corner between Babylon and the Malaysia Hotel)....

it's friendly, breakfast is the same as at Saladang Place, probably better; the furnishings in the room are the same or better than the Tarntawan; the room has a cheap mini-bar, CNN, and a rooftop jacuzzi with a gym that is in decent condition (not great, but you could work out if you're not too picky). Very cheap laundry service (25 baht/kg) is available just down the soi near the 7-11. All for less than half the price of Saladang, Tarntawan, or Swiss Lodge. If only it had gang showers, like Babylon Barracks!

There are 3 types of rooms at the Pinnacle :-

Standard room : on low floors, has old TV without remote control, not sure if it has kettle & coffee.

Superior room : on high floors, has new-looking TV with remote control, Kettle and coffee.

Suite : Don't know. Never been invited to stay in this room yet.

But all rooms have a fridge, air-conditioner and private bathroom.

Booking a "superior" room at asiatravelmart.com costs $20 and $21 at planetholiday.com, both include breakfast for 2.

Don't know what type of room you get when booking with Jimmy.

Exclamation Jimmy (Pinnacle)

To reach Jimmy, book through www.dragoncastle.net or directly to his e-mail Address: jimmyfirst@hotmail.com; you can also call the Pinnacle Hotel and ask for room 1312 - that's where he's staying.

I just checked out after 7 nights, and my telephone costs were about 900 Baht.....but I made several calls a day. Each local call to a regular phone is 5 baht, quite reasonable for a hotel (though the Tarntawan is free).... what probably happened is that you called a mobile phone: they charge 20 baht PER MINUTE for calls to mobile phones! So, be careful of that. It's a great profit for them, but really makes you feel ripped off, since it costs them about 2-3 baht per minute......other than that, I did really enjoy my stay at the Pinnacle....great value for money.

Re Hotel phone charges

Guess it's time for a repeat on internet connection charges in Bangkok. The EASIEST of all is to just walk out your hotel (any hotel) and within a block will be an internet shop. They're usually open 10am-10pm every day, and charge as little as 20Baht/hr. No fuss, no muss, no bother, no complaining about hotel overcharging. And we really don't come to Bangkok to spend our days alone in our hotel room on the internet, do we (I don't!)

Chateau de Bangkok is in a good location...close to Lumpini and not so far from Ploenchit BTS. I only know of families who have stayed there, but being a serviced apartment, I don't imagine it's gay unfriendly. It's the same company that owns/runs a tower in my condo complex and here it's not gay unfriendly at all....just a typical Thai live-and-let-live pleasant place to stay. But others may have alternative views maybe.....

Re: Who's Jimmy?

The main reason people aren't supposed to put emails in the body of the text is because it's been abused in the past, people have put other peoples email addresses (or URLs) in and it's caused problems for them. We allow them here if it's helping people cruise or for services here in Thailand.

I emailed Jimmy last week and asked him if he minded that his email address was being posted here; to verify that it's a legitimate link. I haven't heard from him yet.

So, my question is, does this guy actually exist? I mean, I see that people here use his service. Does anyone have regular contact with him? If so, have him email me and tell me it's 'OK' for people to put his email up here.

Thanks, Cupidman

Cupidman,

I assure you Jimmy is no ghost I just talked to him the other day. He is easily reached through dragoncastle and stays quite busy with his guest. He has recently moved out of his regular room at the Pinnacle while they renovate his regular room. You may call him at room 1311 now he was in 1312.

I AM SURE HE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW HE IS SUCH A FAVORITE.

One of the reasons I like booking with him is he gives you his mobil phone number tells you if you get in trouble or lost or just need advise to call. His rates are by far the best in the area for what you get. He is Thai and is closely connected with Dragoncastle. I am sure you can email them from their web page about Jimmy if you like.

I can vouch for Jimmy also.Have used his service via Dragoncastle and he is particularly helpful and knowledgeable with general tourist enquiries.As mentioned previously Pinnacle is good value and well located if Babylon and nearby Silom is your type of action.I think Thai Guy raised the issue of their superior breakfast to Tarntawan and I agree it has better variety for Asian as well as the standard buffet style breakfast.

If you are a regular visitor to Bangkok try all the hotels mentioned on the board;all of them are interesting in their own way.
