pe7e Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 PB? I would think he's refering to the Penny Black at the end of Soi Cowboy, decent place and very convienient for the nightlife. There is a bar on the first floor that gets lively when Cowboy shuts, recomended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingaporeSteve Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Fiery Jack said:What's PB? jack PB = Playboy Hotel off soi 3 opposite Bumrungrad entrance. Both shorttime rooms which are grotty, drive ins with the big curtain to hide the car and also on the floor above accessible through the main entrance door they have about 120 decent rooms which can also be had by the shorttime but also work out quite OK longtime at around 700 baht from memory or 800 baht for superior rooms overlooking the Japanese ambassadors place next door - room is same though. Big rooms, king size bed (but some are twins so beware), nicely furnished room and adequate bathroom - they overlook the short time rooms and have nice big windows. Loads of Russian hookers stay there and loiter around the coffee shop. Holiday resort it aint, but nowhere better for price and convenience. Oh and the carpet stinks in the hallway but otherwise the rooms are clean but your tv choices are limited to crappy Thai channels and Eurosport. No idea why they leave a UBC book in the room as thats the extent of your TV choices. Also never known it full unless you get there after 10.00pm. However by 1.00am more rooms have amazingly come back on sale - very high occupancy level as you can imagine and truly 24 hr housekeeping as they sleep on the floor in the hallway.

thai3 Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 You seem to have a fondness for shitty dumps, first the park on soi 7 now the ultimate crap hole. The only nice thing about it is the restaurant. Hot and cold screaming BG in ajoining rooms and nutters knocking on your door at all hours is my experience. Avoid the noisy overpriced disco.If the hotel was free I might consider it. Manhattan is far better and cheaper-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai3 Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Same at the dienasty, Suk Crown, Ambassador and I'm sure lots of others-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibblies Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 What he said. Fiery Jack, I'm surprised you don't know PB. I thought you were a player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Hoy Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 "Imperial Hotel"? LOL ! Me thinks that was bull-dozed several years ago...site now occupied by the Conrad and other businesses. But you're right-on about the Nana. IMO, the Nana is to BKK as Raffles is to Singapore. Everybody knows of or has heard about it.

unit731 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 PB? Penny Black? Obviously, some of these respondents don't know or never have stayed at the hotel in discussion here. Looks to me like a bunch of complainers. Or maybe good intentioned jokers (poorly executed, though). I stand by my original reply to this post.

CondomKing Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Jimmy_S said:Some of them will not stay or even go to Nana Hotel, seems a couple of farangs have checked out there (for good). And the place is haunted. They even quote room numbers. Maybe not for free, but don't you think 1000 B would pluck up their courage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Unit - PB would stand for Playboy - a very famous short time hotel, used often by residents, as taking whores home tends to scare the maids! I think it's a joke DOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibblies Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Stayed in it loads of times, mate. (Most of the first 5-6 trips, I think.) I just got tired of staying in such grotty rooms. And I still see it in trips to Nana Disco. You don't need to stay there to see the lobby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
