  1. He has more than you, for example. As a recent guest, someone I know well, and who is capable of saying something positive. I have stayed in a Pattaya hotel more recently than you, and was in one only a few days ago.You stayed there once in 2003.......checking out because it was too expensive for you.
  2. Nah, I shall go and have a swim.Anyhow, if it is something they 'used to do' and haven't done for many years, no reason to bring it up is there. My feedback from someone with cred, who stayed Jan 2012, was very complimentary.
  3. If there was no gap why did they need to push them together?
  4. I didn't think there was space to have 2 single beds with a gap between as the side cabinets were in the way. I may recall 2 single beds one time but there was a double mattress used...... I think I first went there in 2001. 9500 baht/week.
  5. Underline Bold emoticons Must be a device or software dependent issue. Smart phones perhaps?
  6. The bedrooms in the main block I thought all were the same and had double beds. In fact there was a little cabinet on each side and I am unsure how they would get single beds in. They must have found some old beds in the store and made up a special cheap place in a closet for Pappy!
  7. I would prefer the CBR 250R I am a little disturbed that someone got me looking at bigger bikes again when I have a perfectly good, safe little Nuovo outside!!!
  8. It is all a conspiracy.......I don't think it is a general problem.
  9. Well I certainly wouldn't take Jet for £20 savings, or a bit more. Those layovers are truly rubbish though unless you get the free Dubai stopover.
  10. I had one about 10 days ago with a special offer. It looked pretty good actually, 20% off all classes fly before end of June, book soon. It was of the form 'I see you haven't flown with us for a while'.... and there was a special web access link, and a one-time code for the promotion...some complex group of letters and numbers.I was thinking great, biz class on the A380 for me.... Left it in my Inbox and it has gone...... Likely I accidentally deleted it, also gone from my Trash Folder, a search to see if I had moved it...nope, a 48 hour restore... nope. Bloody annoyed. Thanks for the heads up on this.
  11. Well I used to use the place a long time ago...it was okay. No pool, but there were some larger rooms that I always managed to get. Right next to the beach and close to Walking St. Nothing fancy the for me in those days.
  12. Material Girls.(Yes I knew that... it was on Sophon Cable recently and I kept looking at him thinking 'who is that'....yeah Data)
  13. Nah, Lek and Lido beach.
  14. Isn't that a video game?
  15. That was a TV movie.(I think we excluded them from the game)
  16. Not that I can think of. Surely a second hand camcorder wouldn't cost too much. You might get a Board Member to loan you one for a deposit.
  17. Are you suggesting some association with the fraternity of the sport of kings?
  18. I am out near the Sukhumvit junction with 36 (for Rayong)...so your suggestion is good, I will be on my bike as TGF took the truck.....
  19. Sure...... how when where? Bit of a swizz when I moved in here. I said I wanted a minimum of 3.....and he sold me 2 with a new circuit board and left one working with the old circuit board.
  20. Surprised by all this. I used the RG for many years and liked the monthly special price I got, the separate bedroom was a plus for me and that kept the road noise down. I even recommended it to a visiting friend just over a year ago and he liked it. Years ago there wasn't much nearby but there sure is a lot more now. Easy walk into town.... important these days with all the baht buses being full or looking for taxi fares. Often 3 up on a bike to get back! More of the cheaper places are around Soi LK Metro or 7/8 where it will be noisier.
  21. Just been through all that......Big Names are April. BUPA AXA etc etc.... Might be easiest to talk to the Insurance brokers at the Expats Club. One of the first decisions you have to make is the level of insurance...full cover 60-70,000 baht p.a. depending on your age. Or less/ budget cover maybe 20-30k p.a. The Club offers a group plan.
  22. And dreaded thought of where he tucked his purse to free up his hands!
  23. I don't want to get into replacing anything in the control box .....too hot and too many bugs.... just hoping to find compatible keyfob remotes. Is your Paypal account UK registered too? I hadn't noticed an option of mailing it to Thailand (wasn't looking for it), but it would certainly be a consideration for smaller cheap items.Last resort is ordering to be delivered to UK, although I don't expect to go until mid year.
  24. GF away for a day or two. Very generous of you to offer your old ones, but I am unsure whether they are all compatible or not. The ones I want to replace are labelled 'Maxim' and I also have an older one that works which is labelled P.A.T.You really should keep a grip on yours as you never know when you will need a spare (her damned relatives visit ), you lose one or it gets soaked during Songkran! But do appreciate the kind offer.
