Displayed prices are for multiple nights. Check the site for price per night. I see hostels starting at 200b/day and hotels from 500b/day on agoda.

  1. A shameful performance to be sure, although one has to admire they way Oz came to the series. They should have to pay their own airfares and fly back Qantas,economy, that will teach them!
  2. Alice
  3. Perhaps you could try climbing up, and use the available vehicles to come back down? I hope I am remembering the right place....... the vehicle was a frightening and rough ride though. Not much call for skiing accessories in Thailand I think......you should do what I do, last time my Missus suggested such a pilgrimage, I managed to persuade her that she could take the truck and go with a few friends. I am getting too worried of a heart attack in the middle of nowhere due to such extreme effort!
  4. Well of course the location can easily be beat... but not for anywhere around that price. (For example VT 6 or just behind the Avenue are better).
  5. Amusing you chose the Penthouse as I believe amongst the features in the rooms, a swing can be found. You can find anything in Pattaya.....
  6. I really dislike the slow buses there, but do like their 'Premium Lounge', nevertheless I think I will hold back until I hear the new buildings are open and running smoothly. I was searching for a May flight yesterday, Biz Class, and Qatar prices were much higher than I was getting for both Emirates and Etihad.
  7. No, you didn't, another did, obviously you never went to the link. These days Ozzies seem to be into the wine more than the beer.
  8. Something to do with either Visa or Mastercard I think. For years I used a foreign ATM card here, as that was where I wanted to get money out-of. At the Aeon machines, just drew 20,000 baht... but as the baht appreciated I was squeezed down and it was apparent my limit was being hit.....( a third currency...not $ or £). So your home bank limit comes into play. I once also had a different (lower) limit on a SCB machine. Sometimes the machine has run low on 1000 baht notes. That foreign ATM facility went away, and now I draw from my Thai account always using the bank's machines. 20kbaht is no problem and I believe by using it multiple times I can get 50k/day.
  9. Now now, I cannot use our personal acquaintance to benefit you such. I could have done with your input previously when I was being called a liar..... You don't keep a few in the fridge there? Mine are in the little pool keeping cold!
  10. So he decides to clean the pool water AFTER you have been in there! Did you want to borrow my lawn mower to do your little condo?
  11. Paper clips........ Tell teelac she just hands them over as they are, and not to mess with them. Despite what they may say in the visa agency office (I heard stories of them misleading applicants). Mine didn't go through anything that could be called an 'interview'...just moving through a few steps and various desks/ counters in there. Good luck with it.
  12. I am actually going to hang on before I do a transfer, I think 55 baht/£ will be seen soon. 54.24 for a TT at SCB.... Yahoo showing 54.6/£, 32.96/US$.....45/Euro.
  13. I hear you developed your refined palate on a night out with Gonzo.
  14. Sardines tied on string. Cats are far superior at balancing and break fewer bottles than the ponies at the Chang factory.
  15. As previously stated, my pool is devoid of marinade. Despite the initial cold shock, I still retain my water. And the Mrs, like Mrs Gonzo, will not go near it during this bitter spell. I do hope Gonzo and Atlas enjoy imbibing each other's body fluids..... I have alternatives......
  16. On 'the stroke' of 11, the one free girl, put the Acme Thunderer to her lips to stop the proceedings and mark the end of the 2013 performances on the first stroke of Big-Ben. Ben was most aggrieved. Sadly, old habits took over and she inhaled and choked on pee. Who will be the first of 2014 to compete with the pyrotechnics of Pattaya>
  17. Jeff Daniels.
  18. Hi mate, my water stays just as cold when I have been in there a few minutes as when I first got in! Of course my pool is too small for serious swimming...but I do what I can. The pool at your place has been warmed up somewhat by the urine of all the other people you have to share it with. I, of course, do not urinate in my pool. Happy New year to you and Mrs Gonzo. jacko.
  19. I am sorry to spoil your New Year so soon... but this happened again this AM. I repeated the soe and arrived at Pattaya Talk fine second time around.
  20. Did anybody come by at a few minutes to for a quickie?
  21. American Gigolo
  22. Since it was capitalized as 'Stones' perhaps he means something else. I can only think of 10 so perhaps it is 3 Mick Jaggers, a few Charlies and a couple of Ronnies etc?
  23. If you mean the condo office being shot up, I saw that reported on a Pattaya One News report on Sophon TV.
  24. Nackonchai Air ...Bus Station, turn right out of Klang onto Sukhumvit, on the left. Google Maps See Mongkon...... 3rd Rd, turn left off Klang towards Nua on left, soon after TOT. Google Maps There are many more companies, but these two use large coaches, I used to mostly go 'VIP' via Nakonchai Air. You have to book in advance...it is the Rayong to Ubon route shown here
  25. Not the same since they changed the recipe............ (Probably lowered the salt content) While it is still the main contender for Eggs and Bacy, I am using the Lea and Perrins more on pies and things these days.
