Good one if you BF from the Go Go's. Bit trickier if you use the beer bars.

Greetings Monkeywatchers, and welcome to the very first of what may become a regular look into the most intimate crevices of Pattaya life. Then again, it may not. Anyway, here we go. Firstly, a belated happy St George's Day to all English boardies. Actually, you have to feel sorry for old St George, having to kill that hideous old dragon. These days, he could have just divorced it and buggered off to Pattaya. The Casino Club has been taking a lot of stick for having expensive drinks, crap over-loud music and girls who you can't get off with. However, when confronted with this damning indictment, the owner claimed that the place was meant to be an English theme bar and went on to thank his critics for taking the trouble to point out how authentic it was. The ever-increasing number of Brits visiting Pattaya has inevitably led to more and more local restaurants offering traditional English food, though the owners of these establishments have strenuously denied that the increasing popularity of the British delicacy spotted dick is in any way responsible for the sharp decline in the world's leopard population. If you thought Muslims were the only religious group likely to stir up the shit in Pattaya, think again, because we've now got bible-bashers on Walking Street. A group of three likely lads, led by a clean cut all-American boy, could recently be seen spouting on at the bemused passers-by, trying to convince them that they'd end up in Hell if they didn't change their sinful ways. So if you're planning a trip to Hell, you'd better pack your skis and ice-skates just in case they succeed. The Miss Nong Khai contest was reportedly thrown into uproar when it was discovered that one of the contestants was actually a girl. The perpetrators of this outrage are currently being hunted down with a view to immediate deportation. One of the more popular Cherry Bar girls has been overheard telling friends that she's getting money every month from an English banker. Looks like we've found another letter of the alphabet that Thais can't pronounce. Have you ever noticed the uneasy relationship that seems to exist between Thai girls and makeup? You've got some girls who can make themselves up to look as fabulously exotic as top film stars, and others who end up looking like a team of paintballers have been using their faces for target practice. Don't they teach them anything on those bloody farms? There's been a few guys been asking the question 'Old or young, what do Thai girls like?' Well, they've been asked and they said that they don't care how old your money is. The latest news from the government is that all infrastructure projects in Thailand have been suspended. Various plans have been put forward as cost-cutting measures, such as the planned new buses being replaced by conga lines. It's also been suggested that, instead of building new light rail lines to reduce the number of cars in Bangkok, they could achieve the same result by letting Indians drive the taxis for a couple of days. You may be aware that there's been some controversy lately about the use of large gif signatures on some Pattaya message boards, which just goes to prove the old saying 'Beware of geeks bearing gifs'. A parting thought. You know you've got style when you barfine a showgirl just because you can't find your bottle opener. be seeing you monkeyman

Just checked out my fingers. Thanks for that. Hadn't realised I was a ladyboy till now.

I was actually thinking of superbugs rather than the staff. But I should have said so. Point taken. I'll get me coat.

Who'd want to go into an NHS hospital anyway? You'd stand less chance of being killed in Baghdad.

Do you get a diploma if you pass?

I've tried this stuff in FLB and it's .

I've tried both Elite and Premium Laurel and would have to agree with many of the comments made. Elite definitely isn't up to the Old Evergreen Deluxe standard. The seats are smaller and I don't think they recline as far. OK, the entertainment system's better, but I'd rather have a more comfortable seat. Besides, if the entertainment system's top of your list, the one in Economy's just as good. Premium Laurel, on the other hand, suited me just fine. I agree about the seat angle in "flat" mode but it didn't bother me overmuch. My only real gripe was the food. Crap served on bone china is still crap.

Sandy Spring is fine as long as you're away from the noise of the construction work in soi 13. The advice about booking through the Scandibar website is good too. You get the membership rates without joining and a book of vouchers for a free drink every day at the Scandinavian Bar as well.

That's telling it like it is.

Welcome to the board Ron.

Perhaps it closes during the day?

Tom Would that be the reason why, when I recently upgraded to Business Class, they told me that I was getting the only available seat upgrade but when I got on the plane I counted 19 empty seats?

Trousers legs rolled up and knotted hanky on the head?

I'll second that. Just used Elite for the first time after three flights in Premium Laurel and it was crap. I won't pay for it again unless I'm booking a PL upgrade.

Well, guys certainly don't go to LOS to have organs removed from a body. In fact, quite the reverse.

Were they all murdered in hotels?

Yep, not guest friendly, much like most of the hotels used by the big tour operators.

I believe it. I mean, they cleared up the drug problem in a couple of weeks, didn't they?

You can't go far wrong with any of these three. All recommended.

The bottom line is that you can access any room without passing through either lobby. The Deluxe C rooms next to the Ruenthai Pool can be a little on the dark side, especially the ones on the bottom floor as they're actually lower than the pool itself and are somewhat overshadowed by it.

You can avoid the lobby in Sabai Wing if you go in through Sabai Lodge and use the stairs at the end nearest to Beach Road.

I've heard it's full of cunts from Bristol.

The "across Second Road" bit isn't better, unfortunately.
