I bought a one way ticket through these guys and was impressed with dealing via email... Traveltech.....I sent them an enquiry, and they answered it!!!

Blimey, are you watering the park? I have a 2 bedroom house and a tilac who is always in the bathroom and last month's water bill was 85 baht. And electric charges of 600 baht without an aircon seem high.....I have AC in the bedroom 9-10 hours every night and pay about 1500 pcm. The way electric costs are calculated is on a sliding scale rising with consumption, condos normally double the per unit cost.

Haven't seen much change in the realtors windows yet. (Estate agents). If anything, with high season around the corner, the prices go up and houses are being renovated all over town. I will be looking for a new place to rent next month!

Poor Airline, awful airport. Sorry...

Thanks for the info guys, you probably saved me the time, expense and frustration of chasing an alternative Internet connection. Even posting this reply took a wait of 2 minutes for the reply window....it's doing my head in!

Admitted I have a crappy slow connection here in Pattaya via my mobile phone...... I lose patience and give up, hence my reduced posting rate.....

Good comprehensive reply torrenova, although renting a house for only a month might be difficult. The first month in a rented house is an exercise in spending, getting all those bits and pieces that were not included. After 3 months I now have everything I need, but want to move back over Sukhumvit...closer to the sea. A condo never quite appealed to me, it's a bedsitter in a tower block! Someone above, who likes to wear high heel shoes (Big Chief), could make life annoying. That said, soi dogs can be frustrating when in a house.

Or a combination of 2 , 3 and 4. I worked many years in the Middle East, not paying taxes.

As someone says there are loads of houses with 'for rent' signs about. A lot of people are sitting on houses as they expect prices to go up when then new airport opens. They like to rent to farangs too, they can ask more for rent! My neighbour just moved out and the house is up for rent, furnished at about 12k. There are 3 bedrooms but one is in the roof and hot! Also quite a few in the street here on the East side of Sukhumvit. You need to be here to search around. If you like to keep dogs don't call me! Otherwise send me a PM and I will give details. If you go via an agent the price will be much higher.

Any chance of a bit more detail on this? Forewarned is forearmed...

What, no comment from Little Chief about inserting an extra digit in his little Thai number yet.....

This is a pretty well covered route. The obvious being Cathay and Thai, also Singapore. Bangkok is a stop off for many European and Middle East (Gulf)carriers on the way to/from Hong Kong Dragon Air fly there... ... Try this website.... Hong Kong Flights Or this.... From BKK to HKG

I am sure you can only change the region code 5 times before the selection locks in. So switching between 2 will eat them up too. As for getting around the region lock, well I do not know of a way on my notebook, although I have heard of people reprogramming their home DVD players to be multi region.

Mr Tooms service picked me up in Pattaya...early. Smooth ride, efficient without being frightening. Arrived airport in plenty of time. Polite driver.....recommended.

British people would have no need of flying via Taiwan to BKK. As you have no need of cutlery in what you laughingly call restaurants. It is also less of a problem to have poor teeth when you have been taught to chew with your mouth closed.

I realize that 15th August is not a Saturday, but I do not think Mr Toom can be blamed. Perhaps Mr Manracer needs to buy a calendar prior to complaining!

AUH is a pretty small airport........I would feel more confident of their abilities to transfer you and your baggage than at LHR.

I got a fare of £505 from their own website..... Etihad

You lend him the money................

Buy it in Thailand. No bundle to be saved.

I think if you HAVE used Mr Toom you would be a more informed poster.

BA used to offer 0 miles for anything less than a Y class ticket (or was it the next one down from that)? It was changed later. The tickets my company supplied for a vacation airfare used to get 10% of mileage.....waste of time. Important factor when considering using the same airline exclusively.

I was paying 30k at the Nova Park.....1 br apt. Perhaps not as nice , but well equipped and a nice pool and garden. Inferior location though. 18k...or 55% more is some difference. What was wrong with the free WI-FI that you went for that rather expensive ADSL?

Yes they are nice, and a great location. But I felt a little uncomfortable when I learned that on top of what was a hefty price, I would be paying for my electricity and water...and internet on top. Also the rate for the electricity was high....I love my AC What is the total cost then...? You paying for a month?

So if people are having complaints, why are they posting in the members area...he is pulling business from the 'open to everyone' section? I would like the man to have a chance to respond.
