I just got back from Pattaya and I had no trouble exchanging new Canadian $100 at several locations on Soi Buakhao.

Anyone can pull a girl with if you got the money. From what I read from this guy he is a first class asshole. This is a discussion board. So why the hostile attitude toward the originator of the thread. If you dont like the thread move on and quit being such an asshole.....

Up until this year I have been staying at a hotel that included a buffet breakfast so I did not look around. This year (Jan 16th) I will be staying on Soi Buakhao.....and looking aorund for a good breakfast Any recommendations...include the price if you can

180 baht seems a bit expensive for Pattaya. I would expect to pay a similiar amount in Canada not that I would be likely to order Banger and Mash.

Thanks for your helpful advise. Wobbly1 that was very thorough indeed. Are you a golfer yourself. We will be there from Jan 9 to about Jan 26. We were planning on joining Pattaya Sport Club for the discounts. Sounds like dropping by one of the mentioned bars and meeting up with the organizers is the way to go especially in the beginning.

Hello Pattaya Golfers About 2 months to my arrival for 3 weeks of golf etc while staying at the Royal Twin Palace on 2nd rd. ALthough I know my way around Pattaya as I have been there before, I have not done any golfing so far. Seems like joining a sports or golf club is a good way to go as we plan to play 8 or 10 games over the 3 weeks. 1. Which is the best golf membership to join. 2. Whats the best way to get to and from golf courses. 3. What are the recommended course keeping in mind value for the Bth. we are both about 10 handicap. Thanks for any member advice you offered.

Hi Sommy; I just got back OTTAWA to BKK Jan 07 to Jan 24. Flew Japan Airlines for $1275 all in, which included $25 for some weekend departure. Itinerary goes through Chicago and Japan. Small seats, decent food, excellent service. Only issue with schedule is the return has a 6HR wait in Japan. Its good to have someone who lives in my part of the world to exchange ideas and prices with. Who are you flying with. KGK

Having been to Pattaya 3 times I have noticed a few things that I hope will help with your questions. 1. Travellors cheque dont get as good and exchange and there can be a fee for exchange. Myself I choose cash and when required I use ATM. Service charge for ATM doesnt really amount to much. 2. As the other post says clothes are small. I look for shorts, shirts etc but I find them hard to find. I wouldnt travel to light. Although things are generally cheaper and some times dirt cheap I wouldnt count on finding a significant portion of your waredrobe requirements that easily. The saving grace is getting laundry done is quick and cheap. Drop it off at any of hundreds of small laundry shops and pick it up the next day. Dont use hotel service. Walk a few feet and drop it yourself. Price is about 10 bt per item. 3. have never looked seriously at electronics but I can tell you when you get a fake Rolex for 700 bt........you get what you pay for Have a great time. I am just back from a 10 day trip that has me wanting more....

Just returned from my second visit Pattaya. Fell in love again I was dead tired from the trip home but now I am planning my next trip. Would like to play 4 or 5 games of golf next time. Wonderring how the golfers in the crowd get to and from their Hotels in Pattaya and the various golf courses around the area. Whats the common form of transportation and how much does it cost. KGK from Canada

I too am intersted in this subject. Although I have been to Pattaya a couple of times I did not golf. On my next visit I would like to do some golfing but I dont know much about the cost of arranging transport to and from the courses. I plan to stay in Pattaya mostly. Any advice on the transport cosst would be appreciated.

Although I have stayed in Pattaya a couple of times I have never golfed. I was hoping that I would do some golfing on my next trip. I see that there are many great golf course around Pattaya but what is the recommended way to get to and from the courses. Are any of the hotels offering some form of transportation. How much does it cost for a return trip from the hotels to the course and back. I have read about golf packages that are including hotel and some meals but I thought I would free lance my trip. Any recomendations. 8)
