Yes, a day off and not much on the TTD list so what could be better than anotter research project for TeakDoor.
Time to road test yet another of Bangkok's upmarket hotels.
The Penthouse Hotel is just around the corner from the 'Q' Bar and on the same soi as the Playboy Hotel.
It has the usual plastic curtains to keep your vehicle dust free although I don't have a car but the kind chappie still pulled the curtain across, prolly to impress me!
So naturally we are going to compare The Penthouse with it's competition down the soi, the Playboy. You pay an extra 40 baht for your 2 hours at the Pent, 310 against the PB's 270. Is it worth the extra?
The rooms seem a little cleaner, although less interesting in my opinion, but one plus on a cooler day is hot water (the cold water shrinkage factor)
Another nice touch...your towels, soap and shower cap come in a sealed plastic bag!!! and with a comb!!!
Also I was impressed with a set of clothes hooks so your friends clothes don't look all creased and shabby after the rest.
Of course there's a TV and here you can bring in your own video tape of 'Big Momma's House' or something equally as side-splitting to amuse while you relax after your shower.
