    Can anyone provide a quote sub £1000 for 3 double rooms at the Peninsula Bangkok for the nights of 3, 4, 5 December 2009. Hoping to find a group discount for my son's 21st.

    Many thanks

    The Peninsula for £111 per room per night? In December? I would honestly say not a chance. You could get something for around £160 from now until October, but in December you'd be lucky to get them for £1,800, although i'd loved to be proved wrong. However, knowing the hotel it's won't haphazardly offer the types of discounts you're after, so i'd recommend pursuing other hotels if that's your budget.

    Loved to be proved wrong though!
