I have given them lots of stuff. Left over condoms Small money (all the change in my piggy bank) Soap and shampoo Towels Food/drinks/all booze left in fridge DVDs Fan Not even sure what else. But at the end of my 4 month stay I had accumulated all sorts of shit in my condo that I gave to the lady. She left with 2 bags of junk.

The only restaurant I remember was cafeteria style. You buy a card purchase food at the different windows and get your change when finished (same as Carrefour or the food court downstairs at the airport). I only had Thai food. Was a few baht more than it would have been in Pattaya. Not sure if there is a fancier place there.

Kessaya (now Hallmark) motorbike rentals review

Actually when I made my original reservation he informed me of this and recommended I check W/ my insurance company. Didn’t affect me but it just surprised me that Mark took the time to inform me of this. -
Kessaya (now Hallmark) motorbike rentals review
NorCalKid replied to NorCalKid's topic in Transport in Thailand
I have ridden out to BC twice. We took 110-135cc and all worked fine. There is really only one minor hill right after Buddha Hill. Other than that it’s flat and you will probably be going 70-80. The power isn’t the issue IMO. It’s the fact that the bigger bikes seem to be a little more stable at speed and more comfortable for me. But I wouldn’t hesitate to ride a 110 airblade out there, though it wouldn’t be my first choice. And as I stated before my buddies 125 had more power than my 135. And my Airblade had more low end, which was nice in town. I honestly don’t think it matters a wh -

Thay might ask more but if you threaten to walk they will drop to the same price. I paid 3k last time for one. Can be had on the dark side for 2.5k, Or I can just email Mark and it showes up at my room for 2k. I also bring a helmet from home. I peeled off all the stickers(DOT and name) and from a distance it looks like those 600b index ones. I think the only ones that will fit a 3/4 helmet under the seat are the Elegance and the Suzuki Hayate. I have rode both. Yamaha is a 135 and Suzuki is a 125cc. I felt like the Suzuki had a little more power. But I didn't spe -
Porn just doesn’t do a lot for me. The only time I really watch any is with a lady. The last time I watched any porn was almost a year ago and it was at a ladies request. We picked up a few DVD’s across from the Coconut Bar.

I took a look at the rooms at the New Nikon Court this trip. They were nice. I was quoted 650nt or 18k a month (for May). I believe they have a lift. Biggest negative I could see in my quick visit was no electronic safe. There are lockboxes at reception, they give you a key and you can put your own lock on. Reception in is 24hrs. I might give this place a try for a night or 2 my next trip. They were full the first 2 or 3 times I stopped by and I had to come back to look at a room. That tells me something.

I have no idea. My condo was nothing close to that quality. It was 5k and in a Thai building. But I really liked it and it had a pool and what not. We are comparing apples and oranges here. But for me if staying a month that's where I would stay. If looking for something nice and willing to be further from the action I would probably stay at the Nova group(I think it was them about 12k) building in Nakula. But I'm not willing to be that far from the action and not enough little food places around for me. I have stayed on LK for about a month in the past and it's not for me. It is IMO t

I haven’t stayed at the KK since the new owner took over, well it looks like 2 owners ago now. Stayed in a medium room there about a year and a half ago. If I were to stay on that corner again I prefer the Billabong. Though the KK did have better food as I remember. I'm sure the price wouldn't be 550 on a monthly rate. But if I stay a month or more I can half the monthly rates by staying in a condo and avoid the LK Metro noise.

Yep, It's about 100ft from the Diana/Bukaw intersection.

I stayed at the Le Katai for a little over 3 weeks in Jan. Just thought I would do a little review of what I thought of the place. Positives: It's in a great location right next to LK Metro but with out all the noise at night. Good double blinds for sleeping in. They use top sheets in the bed. I like this a lot better than the no top sheet GHes. Rooms are reasonably priced (mine was 550b in high season) Reservations are honored. Mine was screwed up and they didn't have a room for me so the gave me a balcony room for the agreed upon small room price. In loom safe

OK perhaps this review needs to be taken with a grain of salt as I have only used this place to rent a bike once. Here is a description of my experience with them. 1. I made a online reservation a few months back and got conformation that the bike was rented.(no deposit but I think this changed) 2. About a week before I arrived I got a email conformation letter just checking up and making sure I was still planning on renting the bike. 3. When I got to Pattaya I called and told them who I was and that I had a bike reserved. His response was Yes you do where and when would you like it d

Just thought I would pass a little info along. I tried to renew my 1 year license today and was denied. I was told I could make new but not renew my old one. I knew I wouldn't be able to renew for 5 years but was under the impression I could renew for one year with a 30 day arrival stamp. That's not the case and I would have to start from scratch and get a new license. This would involve the movie, written test/on computer and the driving test. Fuck if I'm guna go threw all that again. Had I known all this I wouldn't have ever bothered getting my license in the first place. Anyway just
