Not good to come on here deceptively wasting my time. Had I known you were Indian I would have not been detailing hotels in the 'Arab area'.

Don't know why but can hardly read your small font! The Nakonchai air website no longer seems to have a timetable, but I think it would be easy to pop to their depot and check the timetable out, and book tickets. Their call centre is 029360009, The last bus I took turned off at Den Chai and headed more East. The VIP bus (I guess that is Gold Class now) is pretty comfy. Ah found it, all in Thai!!! You have to get the bus for Rayong to Chiangmai, picks up in Pattaya, That is the next to bottom block on the right, under the line. Timetable.. As to the train, again I got off at Den Chai but it was okay...but going into central Bangkok is tiresome if you have baggage. There are many flights now but beware that the budget carriers (Air Asia for eg) have moved back to Don Muang.

Book a minibus to go overland to Sihanookville maybe via an overnight stop at a shit-hole on Koh-kong.Quite a few Travel Agents located on Soi Post Office offer the trips. If you are young you may find it an adventure, older it may be arduous. A more expensive option is to fly from U-Tapao to Siam Reap.

I don't think I would recommend places like the Penthouse, in the same area is a place called Camelot that I have no experience of, and my site-advisor blocked me from their site.... perhaps you could check trip advisor. Don't you have any Arabic sites that can help you...as previously mentioned some places will not be open to you and many here will not be fully aware of that.

Perhaps it was actually an Amex charge card?

These cameras always seem to be out of order!

The Arab people seem to group together in the area of Soi 16 which runs from the Walking St through to 2nd Rd/Phratumnak. On 2nd Rd there is the VC Hotel, Cherry Hotel, White Rose and Marine Plaza. Or you could go up-market and stay at 5 Star place where, if you can book via the internet with a Credit Card you would not have any problems (Marriot, Hilton, Sheraton).This is the area you may like.

I found myself looking at my watch cos I wanted to go for a beer. The cinema was near empty but people seemed to be shuffling and munching all around and one twat kept moving around and trying different seats and bouncing around in them. Pattaya is full of nuts! Film, good action scenes, special effectss, mostly eyeball entertainment. Story silly and contrived, why do we always have to go through the falsehood that Bond has been turned traitor or killed. Great opening sequence with the Adele song, but that is hardly a new invention.

Yes a young and handsomeMickey Rourke was in it, prior to him getting his face bashed ugly.

Walking St is a misnomer these days. Walking is rather difficult there,due to crowds with cameras caused by the street entertainers, strutting Russian tarts and tourists who don't have any money. Soi LK has a lot of new GGBs these days some of which are getting good reviews and as of yet you can stroll from one end to the other in a reasonable amount of time before being blocked by 200 blank faced guys in horrible pyjamas following a flag. I may wonder whether the Soi LK's guest houses can offer a good night's sleep with a GGB beating out the sounds 4 inch of breezeblock away, but then again, nor can Soi 2 hotels.

Hard not to pay with a CC these days. I recently had a hotel stay where my card was hit 3 times, once for the deposit of one day on booking, again for the full 3 days stay + an extra bit to cover consumption at check-in and again on check-out for the full amount. The only deduction appears to be the final check-out bill, but the available credit still reflects the two earlier hits. I don't trust Thailand with Credit Cards...... Perhaps with cash, they would require you to pay for the full reserved stay up-front. Whether claiming no money would work or they would accept a single night I don't know. It is all a little dishonest...long gone are the days when I could check-in with a 500 baht deposit and settle up 2 weeks later on check out. (Normally being scammed for the 500 I had forgotten of by then. )

I saw the Bond film last night, I am thinking terribly contrived (emphasis on terribly) is a requirement for a blockbuster.
