What happened to Jasmine Mansion?


Inocybe

Recommended Posts

I never staid at Jasmine Mansion (not the Hotel), but had it on the top of my list, mostly because of good reviews and the seemingly colorful owner. He used to write some fantastic, and long posts (at another board), telling us about how it was to be a guesthouse owner. Everything from impossible staff to hilariously funny situations that happened. Great writer. He later gave out a book with these stories (can't remember the name of it).

 

Now I see that their internet site is dead (www.jasminemansion.com), and I can't find any information on him.

 

Is Jasmine Mansion no more?

 

If he's still an active internet poster, do you know the address?

 

And, if you remember the name of the book, I could try to find and buy it in Pattaya?

 

Thanks! :Whistle:

 

PS! I know this isn't just a accommodation question, but couldn't decide where to put it.

Kevin currently owns The Great British Fish and Chip Shop on Soi Khao Noi, if you call and see him I'm sure he would sell you his book and give you the hotel info you require.

THANK YOU! Even though the reading (last updated march 2009) was not that positive. I knew about this site, and visited a long time ago, but forgot it's name. My memory isn't that good :(

 

Is JM sold or has his wife taken over. To me, when I read his old posts, it was he who had the control there. Without him, it seemed that the mansion would loose control completely.

 

Hope his new business goes well. I will visit the place next time. Can't call, my English get's even worse on the phone :Whistle:

 

Since I don't know how JM is run now, I won't say that it's run badly. This because I shouldn't say anything I don't know anything about... I just referred to old posts he wrote.

A new BG asked an experienced BG what was the difference between the Long Con and the Short Con. The experienced BG replied... The Long Con takes longer, but the rewards are far greater.

 

Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

Apparently he and his wife had a parting of the ways and she took over the running of Jasmine Mansion, whereby it went downhill rapidly. I stayed there when Kevin was still running it and he did a great job and was very helpful, as well as being an amusing raconteur. Shame, but that's life I guess. It's good to hear he's bounced back into another business - I'll have to pop in for a meal (once I figure out where Soi Khao Noi is !).

Real shame that.

That place has a priceless reputation, then it was almost like someone put the place in reverse.

Instead of going out of their way to help customers they seemed to be going out of their way to piss people of.

I guess that must have been when his wife took over.

Hi Alexandro, are you from Japan too ? Do you know if they do long stay discounts and do you they accept credit cards ? I've recently been divorced from the Thai bitch from Hell and I'm looking for somewhere to relax for a while. Would you recommend the Jasmine Mansion for me and can they make a Waldorf salad ?

Stayed there for a day last trip and it was nothing special at all, very tatty. Guessing his wife was running it, very pretty lady who looked terrifying, like she would flip out any second. The staff seemed scared shitless of her too.
