Hi There It's been 7 years since I last visited the LOS - last time I visited Pattaya I stayed the the Queen Vic on Soi 6 and thoughly enjoyed it - the service and food were good and ther served English beer which is a pluas as far as I am concerned, without wishing to get into an arguement only the English cab brew good beer closly followed by the Belgians. Think the manager when I last visited was a guy called Bert, very knowledgable and helpful. Looking at reurning later this year but heard that the Lord Nelson might be a better bet as far as accomadion is concerned, anyone like to offer an opinion as to which is the best establishment and which you prefer and why. Also last time I stayed the Queen Vic sent their mini bus to pick me upo from the airport, do they stoill offer thsi service and does the LOrd Nelson offer a similar service. Thanking you in anticiaption of your help Many thanks Pat

Hi Thinking of using U - Tapao airport rather than Bangkok on my forthcoming trip to get to Koh Samui. Wondered how far this is away from Pattaya and what the cost of a taxi should be to this airport. How long is it necessary to check in before an internal flight at U - Tapao. Many thanks Pat

Hi All, Planning my next trip to Pattaya, thinking of staying at one of the Flipper Hotels, which is best the Lodge or the Hotel. Could like to hear recent reports about the quality of both and the facilities on offer. Many thanks Pat

Was on the subject of trying to get British Tourist's abck to Thailand, He was saying what wonderful discounts were being offered. My experience is that everytime I asked for a quote this year the price is UP on the same time last year, it may be cheaper when we get there but experience tells me it is not cheaper to get there. Maybe if the Thai Goverment are serious about getting tourists back they need to get the airline to reduce their prices from Europe. Any comments or disagreements

Hi Fellow Traveller, Just a thought occurred to me i was thinking of visiting the LOS at the end of March and staying through April - problem is that's Easter week here which makes any kind of travel very expensive. Wondered if anyone had done it the other way around i.e. booked a flight in Thailand to go and come back to the UK, saw some pretty good prices advertised when I was there in November. Heard Phuket Air has some cheap offers on but can not find an agent that deals with them in the UK. Cheapest quote gote for flying out on the 18th MArch and back on the 08th April is £703, my thats expensive even for the UK. Any idea's guys

But how do you think the recent disatser will effect thing like air flight prices and hotel price over the next 6 months.

Anyone know who the uk agents are

Just done the Manchester Bkk round trip with the - put them on a par with Qantas or BA but not in the same class as Emirates or Qatar, Five hour wait at Istanbul frustrating even if spent in the VIP lounge.

Hi Wondered how widely Visa Electron cards are accepted in Thailand both at ATM's and for making purchases at shops/travel agents ? Many thanks Pat
