I again Highly reccomend Mark. I have used his services on many occassions. Always reliable on collection and delivery of the bike. On this trip I had two punctures and a flat battery. Mark was prompt in fitting 2 new tyres and new battery. He can always be contacted on his phone and always pleasant and helpful. Thanks again Mark, just worry you will be too popular with renters.

I am thinking more about having to pay out.....................................The Farang Is always At Fault

Thanks guys for all the valuable information. I am looking forward to some good progression. :chogdee

hello all I am coming to patts for 2 months from mid october and want to learn to play golf. I currently play maybe 1 time a year for a charity day so am a complete novice. I will bring my own clubs to Patts. Can anyone help with the best way to go about it and some ideas on costs. I am guessing lessons on a driving range etc. I will have a motorbike and am an experienced rider so can travel with clubs on bike. Any advice and recommendations are appreciated. Cheers :chogdee

Thanks Bazle Yes all is fine as it remains occupied, but I aggree it is an important consideration if you leave your place empty.

Thanks for all your help. I ended up using moneysupermarket .com and found a firm called Preferential Travel Insurance. Cost £60.28 for Annual Multi-trip policy covering up to 93 days per trip. I was too old for the backpackers policies and the other policies were either too expensive or did not cover 61 days trip. Thanks again for all your help and hope this helps other searching for the cover.

Thanks for your replies. I am checking them out and will get back with a results. Any more suggestions would be appreciated

Hello all Does anyone have any recommendations for reasonably priced Annual Travel insurance to cover 60 to 90 day trips to Thailand. Most policies only cover 30 days. Thanks All

I just wanted to say I used Kessayes in march for a month. Mike is very helpful and prompt in answering the phone and emails. Dropped off and picked up the bike at the hotel and the bike was trouble free. I highly reccomend him and his service.

Just wanted to say I went to Nong Nooch ornamental gardens 5 days ago. The usual entry fee is 500bht per person including a Thai dancing show and Elephant show. I went with Thai gf. Booked a room on site 1100 bht. That included entry and breakfast. The room was basic and clean with aircon and hot water with 2 beds. Better rooms are available (See their website) There is a large pool and really you have access for 2 days. The breakfast was good with falang and thai choices. The gardens are nice. Both the shows were ok but be warned there is a mad dash from watching the Thai dance show to then go to the elephant arena . I advise sit near the left side of the stage (As you face stage) as an area opens behind and to the left of the stage. (The elephant arena is behind the stage area. ALSO Get seated early as seats go fast and many people end up standing. In general I enjoyed the gardens but do not hold too high an expectation or you will be dissapointed. In the evening I ate in a resturant above the large fish area. The food (Fish) was superb and high quality. It may be a little more expensive than Pattaya but I do not feel I was ripped off as the quality and quantity was worth it. There were no obvious signs of animal cruelty but this is because of past cruelty hitting the press. Apparently they often get inspections now. In essence I had 2 days nong nooch at a cost of 1100 bht with breakfast and aircon room If I visited for 2 days maybe 1200 bhts with show on 1st day only. Room maybe 700bht breakfast maybe 300bht, Total possibly 2200bht. Hope this was of some help

Thanks for your replies. I was thinking more about the evening meal as I suspect most of the daytime places close. The tg said she had been there once and all the chinese groups staying had brought those pot noodles. I will check out what is available on in the evening and if its crazy I will ride into bang saray. Thanks everyone

Can anyone help with info on Nong Nooch resturants. I will be staying over 1 night on site at the gardens. My tg said that the resturant is super expensive. Has anyone any knowledge of the on site resturant or reccommend any nearby places to eat. Cheers

Back 27th Feb to 27th march
