These places run hot and cold, and I must admit I haven't been back for a bit as it isn't on my normal route. I have even stopped ordering fish and chips wherever I end up as all too often I am getting some unknown type of fish that has turned to mush. Goosies at least told me what type of fish was on offer..... now I only have it when I am back in the UK, particularly at Colman's in South Shields.

Yeah I can normally get to the cities, my problems start trying to find the little villages!

It's the only solution, standing room only on baht buses these days.

Those are 300 baht......How about a utility bill in my name?

Gr..........ouch.

Do you mean me? Actually that may be true as I was researching the Hotel Reviews and a few other places to give the guy an answer and relax him.,

You have 4 posts to your name all asking exactly the same thing. I am sure someone will get back to you.

I think if you swap it around to 'quality, fresh ingredients' it doesn't sound bad.

Perhaps you need to get out more yourself.He simply said there are many better places in Asia to have a family holiday than Pattaya...quite true, although I would have said in Thailand. The place being packed with Russians, Indians and Koreans doesn't necessarily change the underlying factors.

That would work too!

Christopher Lee (I think it was him)

And that ladies, is a Pappy 'Welcome to the forum'........

The keyhole on mine is simply behind the batteries...covered by a plastic panel on the front that just slides off.In your case it sounds like these keys are available to anyone behind reception. I am unsure whether there is a single master key for all the safes in the rooms, I would like to hope not. Hopefully the girls employed at reception are more honest than the 'others' that have access to your room.

I am often waiting at the lights at Sukhumvit/Klang and pedestrians try to cross, but it certainly isn't easy for them.There is an elevated crossover a little North of there but there aren't many of them. She certainly has a point. pedestrians are forced onto the road by various pavement deficiencies and obstructions all over town.....

Is it worth the Heathrow transit?Or perhaps you travel to London on land?

Well there is most certainly a train-line that runs near Pattaya......although you would have to define 'near' as on the other side of Sukhumvit. Not very many trains either.

Your choice. If you are going to en-cash them all in one go at this end they will give you added security in the interim.It depends if you can get them 'free'....... Inclined to say go with cash and make getting the bank account sorted and the money 'put safely away' a priority on arrival. If you are the type to fall down the aircraft steps into a GGB maybe not.

Perhaps you are suggesting some of the shops like Jen Jitt where a better rate can be had?OP... no problem opening an account here and you can specify an ATM card that can be used outside of Thailand. The 'requirements' to open an account seem to vary from bank to bank, and even branch to branch. Some requiring a non-Imm visa, some a tourist visa, some no visa at all. Kasikorn seems to come well recommended.

Well, actually when I bought it I think there was a sight more baht/£ and hence it looked pretty cheap.And it has a cute Yamaha logo on it. It would be better if there was a brake light connection. I bought it along with the bike, a disc lock and was hoping for a deal.... got 2 free absolutely crappy helmets and a cheap jacket that was way too small.
