Code Monkey

I quite fancy a fag right now .....I'm allowed to say that - I was raised in England!

Don't want to state the obvious but if you have the phone number of the hotel, then why don't you either make a reservation by phone or call them and ask them for the email address??

You're choices are Get a taxi when you exit the airport Hire a limousine from one of the counters at the airport Check out this thread for drivers. http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6878 As for the intimate company, become a member and you'll receive advice there.

If you can afford it, then just go for it - no need to seek confirmation from other members!

Hi Chicago, Have sent you an IM.

Two days too late for me. I head down to Pattaya on the 11th. Catch you in the FLB for a drink or two.

I've only celebrated Loi Krathong in Pattaya and will do so again this year. It's a beautiful festival and a lot of the locals adorn traditional costumes adding enormously to the atmosphere. Whether you are in Bangkok or Pattaya, you are sure to have a great time.

I think all air hostesses should be drunk! One way to make the long flights interesting!

I'll have to remember to log on once I'm there....I may not be able to post any pics until I get back though. One more day to go! [smiley=grins-jump.gif]

I'll be staying there from the 8th onwards ;D and I'll let you know after that if no-one else responds.

Ok, the shared taxi to Pattaya has been arranged for the 8th. I'm still hoping that there's going to be a member on the same flight from Sydney to Bangkok on Thurday 6th November....anyone?...anyone?.... ???

I remember reading your review and almost considered not staying at the Areca Lodge but then nearly every hotel I contacted was booked (Dec 20th - 29th 2002). Areca Lodge was one of the few who could accomodate so I had little choice. Turns out it was a great choice! As for the robbery, his box was the only one robbed? I agree, stupid to have so much cash sitting in the box. [smiley=shame.gif] I guess that's why they only allow one escorted guest in at a time ::)

Hi SteadieEddie, I'm staying at the Majestic Suites which is very close to the Nana - in fact just around the corner from the traffic lights. Send me an IM and we can exchange details.

Not where I come from. The bed sizes in ascending order are single, double, queen and king. I haven't heard about the safe deposit boxes being robbed at the Areca. What I liked about the safe deposit boxes was that they are in a separate room next to the reception desk and they only allow one person in at a time escorted by the receptionist. You're dead right about crossing Second Rd though. You have to take your life in your hands each time! ::)

I arrive in Bangkok around 10:30pm on Thursday 6th November and will be travelling to Pattaya around noonish on Saturday 8th November. Anyone else want to share a taxi? This is a long shot, but is anyone else travelling from Sydney to Bangkok on the BA10 flight on Thursday 6th November?
