Hey Guys, I'm due to fly in to BKK at 6pm on Sunday - I'm hoping the airport won't be flooded by then !!! In the meantime I've been unable to find any info on road closures etc -can anyone enlighten me on the road conditions to Pattaya from the airport? Still clear? Any advice appreciated. Cheers

Armageddon - Soi LK - huge rooms Club Blu - Soi LK - nice spot - my fave when on a budget Liquid Lounge as already mentioned Pasadena Lodge does not have a seperate entrance - have to walk through reception at night and provide id to the security guard (friendly chap though)! steveoman seems to be the man to ask ! Nice one - didn'nt know Kilkenny had separate entrance - good food there too - might try it next month - cheers !

Used Mr Toom over 50 times in the last 4 years and no problems until this year - wasn't there when I arrived at the airport 3 times in a row this year - I'm done with him - bring on Mr. T !!!

Judd - that was my buddy who stayed at Armageddon - he doesn't make things up - I saw the lumps from the bites all over him. Ask the Armageddon directly to verify the story. If I took the same stance as you I would say "Maybe Judd is the owner and trying to cover his ass" but that would be juvenile in my opinion. Anyone mature enough to use these boards properly knows that the genuine posters try to share valuable and fair information to help other members out - I am one of them. Let me remind you of his review : So near and yet so far ! Recently stayed in the Armageddon. Had a nice r

In the first tab of their own price list " Floor12,14STUDIO46.00sq mtrs Price 1,495,000baht" - I'm always on the lookout for a bargain - but am I missing something here?

One of my fave Hotels - Nice rooms - very clean, fast internet, LCD TV & DVD player, quiet aircon. Rooms are not huge and bathroom is very small but very modern, Very girl friendly but insist on id. No probs with late checkout with no fee. Excellent pool. Good room service. 5 Minute walk to WS. Great value for 1250 baht currently - although LK Metropole has walk in rates of 1200 for standard room as of last week ! Deluxe and superior are exactly the same - only diff is the more expensive one faces the pool - no balconies on either. Cant help with the in room massage - never

Incredible offer from Etihad (Great Airline!) at the moment - €436 including Taxes for a return flight for flights booked before 25th May with travel out up to the end of June. Worth sharing methinks. Will head over myself for 4 nights - for that money its cheper than a weekend in Dublin !

Lol - Got to agree with Sybarite & co ! I make a visit there every time I'm in town and I've never even bought a ladydrink as the girls are so bloody miserable - no idea how they make a living as I'm not tight and enjoy buying a few drinks. Jaysus - maybe Im not a sexy man after all - or maybe theyre all lesbians ..... hmmmmm... In saying that I gotta say they regularly have a lot of cuties - Im sure other members have better luck !

Nova Platinum in Pattaya is Girl Friendly - I stayed there for a week in June. Paid 1750 for deluxe room inc breakfast - wouldnt pay any more than that but good hotel nonetheless.

My buddies always use the China Air route and I checked with them - they always get both boarding passes both ways. I fly Air France mainly but will be using Etihad next week as the timings suit me much better. Hope to use Etihad more often if the next flights go well. Did the same thing with the layover in Dubai and it was a nightmare - I know how you feel LOL Have a safe trip - hope all goes well. Cheers

Jasmine Hotel on WS (Soi BJ) provides a Laptop hire service through a local agent.

Stayed there last week for 4 days. Soft opening rates at 40% discount so I paid 2100 per night for the deluxe room. Have lots of pics I will post over the weekend - beautiful rooms - all my buddies moved in to the Hotel aswell. Highly recommended - had already stayed at the Jasmine Hotel WS and stereobar but they dont compare ! This was true Western 3.5 to 4 star - excellent quality finish, Booked peak season at full rate I was so impressed !

Stayed there last Dec/Jan - Have to say I enjoyed the accomodation and good value at peak season for 1000 baht a night. I currently have the managers business card in front of me - it does say www.pinewing.com but as you know the site doesnt work ! Other contact details: email INFO@Pinewing.com Tel 038-362273-5 FAX 038-361821 and the manager/owner was PA 0813401177 - Hope this helps !

Thanks MM for following this up - LK used to be my fave Hotel but now no constant hot water and that internet pricing is just stupid ! Can you confirm what dates those Corporate rates apply to? http://www.atsiam.com/hotels/pattaya/lk_me...ya_thailand.asp has cheaper rates to 31st October so just curious ! Thanks
