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.

4 hours a week are required by the Ministry of Education for the ED visa and they do test you at immigration in relation to how long you have been learning, so, they will start off basic but the longer you are on the ED visa the harder the questions become.. I am on an ED visa.

If I remember right Nong Nooch has 2 or 3 restaurants and all kinds of snack booths. The main restaurant is very nice and more expensive than an outside restaurant but it will hardly break the bank. I wouldn't worry about it.

Was out and about last night and watched two of these crossings in action and came to the conclusion I will cross the street as far away from them as possible. 9:00pm The first light by Mikes shopping mall was the worst. When the light turned red no less than 10 cars went through it and at least 6 motorcy. A little further down the road the same thing happened. Tourists were starting to walk across as well. I'm willing to bet high season will see at least 1 if not more cross walk fatalities because tourists that have similar systems at home will trust these crosswalks.

Do you earn your living on the internet ,im looking into this

Who ever gave you this information is just looking to make money for his friend...all of this can be done easily by yourself. Buy hosting from a reputable web host...will cost you $5.95-$9.95 a month for a shared server account. You can set up payment processing web templates, blogs etc. through the hosting cpanel...in some cases it will cost you a bit more but not much. Research SEO and you can bump your own site up in the search rankings. Do your research up front and you won't have to pay anyone a dime. Of course all of this takes time and if you don't know much about web sites there is a learning curve. -
I don't know about the world over but in America and the U.K. if you are honest on the questionnaire and tick the box that you have been with a prostitute in the past year then they will not accept a donation from you under any circumstance. You will also not be able to give blood if you just returned from Thailand as it is a malaria region and you must wait 6 months after returning to donate blood.

a nighmare at the jasmine mansion
talen replied to bigorange1's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
I've stayed there 3 times and haven't had the same experience. The aircon wen't out in my room last may and Kevin had someone up to fix it asap. Aircons break and drains clog ...shit happens in pattaya and water pressure is a problem that happens and its not always the hotels fault. I don't think it's strange that Kevin would consult his wife because #1 as you stated you hadn't discussed any of the problems up to that point with Kevin and I'm sure he wanted to find out what had been done to fix the problems and #2 he and his wife are the owners of the hotel. Sucks that you didn't have a good experience but you were in Pattaya so I doubt it was so horrible that you decided not to have fun. -
Looks like the only ting that dies here was the OP's punchline

I ate there a few times in may...nice place and the food was good.

I contacted Kevin Meacher back in February or march after seeing the completed penthouse pics he posted and inquired about a long stay from May 1 to June 3. Kevin responded within hours and let me know that the penthouse was available from May 1 to May 20th and that he could put me in a suite room for the remainder of my stay and the cost would be 34000 baht. The email was very detailed about paying upon check in and even listed the guest breakfast menu. Right before my my trip I realized I could take off a few days earlier and emailed Kevin again to get another 2 nights. He respnoded again within hours that it wouldn't be a problem. He had a guest in the penthouse on the first night of my arrival so would give me a standard double with balcony and although he usually leaves a days downtime for the penthouse between guests to make sure everything is taken care of and in working condition he would get me into the penthouse my second day. I arrived on April 29th at 7:30 and they were ready for me. I met the owners Kevin and Jin and they got me sorted in no time. I asked them if it was ok if I paid 20k baht today and the balance tomorrow as I wasn't sure how my credit card was going to handle the rate transfer. They had no problem with this and waived the 1k baht deposit seeing as I was using a credit card. There was a small fee for using the credit card but that was no big deal to me....and as you'll see later I got more than that back from Kevin and Jin. Total for 5 weeks was 36k baht My first night I stayed in a standard double with balcony and to be honest I didn't take pics because the camera was packed and I took a shower and was out on the town by 8:30 and didn't get back till 4am. Have no illusions the room is small but it is exactly as it appears on the Jasmine mansion website and would be fine to stay in for a while. Personally for a long stay I would want a suite or the penthouse. The next day I moved into the penthouse....pic time The one pic I didn't get was of the laundry room that is down from the entrance to the penthouse. During the day there are staff on the penthouse floor doing laundry and drying towels and sheets. They were quiet my whole stay never waking me once. By 4pm or so they are done for the day and the penthouse floor is very private and you have the terrace completely to yourself. There is a cctv camera as you enter onto the penthouse floor aimed at the steps down and only the steps. If you can't handle steps then the penthouse won't be for you as it is quite a few steps to the top but they didn't bother me or any of my guests. On the 20th of may I moved down to a suite room as the penthouse was booked and I will post the suite room right after this post. I remembered at this time I would need a late checkout and asked Kevin if it was possible to do a 8pm checkout and what the extra cost would be. He said he would let me know the next morning as he was leaving for the night. The next morning he said it was no problem and there would be no extra charge. The next night my aircon froze up in the suite room and they had someone look at it during the day while I was out...came back and it was fixed. Jin gave me the keys and I headed up but she mistakenly gave me the penthouse keys as thats where she remembers me being...I come down to gt the suite keys and she politely scolds me to call down from the penthouse to have someone bring keys up if it should happen I get the wrong key. Then Kevin remarks " If you like you can move back to the penthouse as the guest that booked was a no show. I dreaded repacking and moving back but on my way up I thought about it and told teelac to start packing and I would sort the key. Came down and told Kevin I would take him up on the penthouse offer if it was still free ( free as in American slang for still available) Kevin didn't miss the chance to rib Americans for wanting a freebie. Kevin grabbed the key for the penthouse and I asked how much more for my last 13 nights.....Kevin remarked that the price would be 395 baht...exactly the price of my new book which has just arrived smile.gif a book I was going to buy anyway. Thats twice now that he could have charged me extra and I would have gladly payed extra. Kevin and Jin were on the premises daily and they always asked how everything was and how my holiday was going and if I had any questions they were quick and helpful. The staff was great ...always smiling and helpful and very respectful to the few ladies I brought back and especially to one lady I spent well over 3 days with. The Full of beans cafe has great food and I ate there more than a few times. Breakfast is included in the room price if you are up before 1 ( I usually wasn't) but there is a 30 baht service charge if you want it brought to the room and let me tell you making small Thai girls hump trays all the way up to the penthouse is worth the 30 baht. Room service was good anytime during the day just don't let your teelac and reception discuss in Thai breakfast as you might end up with cheeseburgers at 8am instead of cheese omelets but that too was sorted and omelets were on the table when I got out of the shower. I can honestly say I had no problems other than the aircon in the suite going down which was sorted straight away. I think I got more than what I payed for and Highly recommend the Jasmine Mansion. It's located on soi Boukow right up by LK Metro which is a great spot to stay as its central to everything. Another thing I noted during my stay was the fact that when a guest checked out Kevin personally inspected the room and made sure everything was ready for the next guest including touching up paint.... I don't know Kevin or Jin other than just meeting them and what I've written is just my personal opinion....I think I got maximum value for my baht and I will most definitely stay there again and hopefully soon ...if they have a free room

I tried to get a monthly rate for my upcoming trip and the prices quoted to me were only 100 baht cheaper per night.

hmmm something is bothering me about the original post....I've read this before word for word.....what reminded me about it is this paragraph. I want to say it was on Stickmans site but I will have to check to be sure...but I do know this is out there somewhere
-
From the way the OP's post is worded and arranged it sure looks like he's associated. I have nothing against Eden or Hell club and plan on paying Hell a visit in May....but I do have to say that looks more like an advertisement than just a tell tale report on his experience.

Funny, since deciding to come to Thailand I've checked out all the forums available and found that forum to be one of the worst.
