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.

I've spent five Septembers in Pattaya and rain really isn't a problem. It's unlikely to have any significant impact on your trip.

Thanks for that Tom. I'll be using them shortly.

1200 baht all in is a good price for a pre-booked taxi. Worth a look if the service is good.

The Brit press not reporting on something like this could mean that the Government have slapped a 'D' notice on it. But why would they do that if it was an accident? Makes you wonder...

Not guest friendly. Mainly oriented towards families I think.

You call that girl friendly? Not sure the girls would agree.

I like Sabai Lodge for its layout and location, but I'm not a fan of most of the older rooms. Windows too small and no balcony. If I stay there, I go for Sabai Wing.

I use a Pattaya based company who've always been 100 per cent reliable.

Just be aware that many of them use outside taxi companies, so no comeback on the hotel if they don't show.

We did. That's why you've got it.

FBF Thanks for clueing me in. I'm just wondering why they didn't tell me themselves. Must cause them some problems if they don't give this info out, surely?

I've used EVA many times (though not on this route) and have never encountered anything like this. Is this problem maybe peculiar ro LAX? I've never used an e-ticket, though I think that this business with the credit card isn't confined to EVA.

I've never used this lot before, so I'd welcome a bit of advice on how they operate. The story so far. I made a booking enquiry with them and was sent an e-mail with the details. I e-mailed them back to confirm the booking and received a further e-mail from them, which was identical to the first except it had seat numbers on it. No mention of paying for tickets or when they will be sent to me. So what happens next? Will they contact me about payment or am I supposed to get in touch with them?
