I always use the email address and not the online reservation form. That way I have a copy of what I send.

I have just booked pttaxi to collect me from Swampy in January - confirmation came back in ten minutes and its midnight in Thailand.

Interesting. I have used pttaxi through their web page last February. Never saw a reference to Mr. T - may be it was the same person all the time or perhaps as you suggest they have merged or something happened to Mr. T and they have taken over his 'book'.

I'll be booking a taxi for pick up at Bangkok. Anyone interested in sharing?

As you have moved location - I suggest you change the title of this thread to reflect the new location.

I stayed there in Feb/March. Here is a review I posted on another board. Recently stayed at the Sunview Place for three weeks. Agreed on emails 950 baht per night for superior room overlooking the pool with 50 baht discount per night for payment in advance after seeing the room – net 900. When I got there they charged me only 900 less the discount of 50 for net 850. It appears that they had brought their rates down for the 'low' season and automatically passed the lower rate on. Big tick for integrity. My room was on the sixth floor. Good size with nice balcony. Well maintained and promptly so after leaving key at the reception. Decent bath towels but no hand towel – cost only 15 baht to buy from a stall. Very effective room controlled aircon. Two negatives. The bed was rock hard and it was somewhat noisy with the bar/ restaurant across the road playing loud music till 2 in the morning. Would not have wanted a room on a lower floor. Small ok pool. Free internet access from PC in foyer. They said that they would be introducing wi-fi soon. Very quick and reliable lift. Good security – one or two guards on duty all the time. No charge for one 'guest'. Took guest's ID card, logged and kept it till guest left. One day I left the room safe open – when I came back to reception they told me and asked me to check the safe contents. Everything was still there. There is also a two key safe facility at reception – useful and safer for most important valuables not required on a daily basis. One day I left my room key at reception and it disappeared. Within half an hour of discovering this they had a locksmith in to change the room lock. I was not charged – they accepted my word that I had left the key on the desk. I also saw them changing another lock and when I asked why, they said that the previous guest had forgotten to hand in his key when he checked out. I was impressed with this attention to security. Food available from 8.30 to 5.30. Quite good and reasonably priced. American breakfast at 90 baht was acceptable although the sausages were more like small frankfurters. Mixed clientele. Some families and some individuals. Felt comfortable taking 'guests' in. Friendly and helpful staff. Location in Soi Buakaow. Handy for that area. Also, regular baht taxis going direct to Walking Street area. A bit more difficult at night to get back at night. Needing to take taxi up Pattaya Tai to Soi Buakaow and then a further (not very regular taxi) up Soi Buakhaow – but it can be walked. All in all I would recommend as good value and professionally run, although that bed might be a 'no no' for some. The cheaper rooms at the back are quieter although smaller. The music I referred to in my review goes on to 2 a.m. - and as a golfer on some days looked for an early night. But the music stops at 2 pm. and if you are a night owl, you won't be affected.

Great pics, great day, thanks to all involved in the organisation. The result was obviously fixed otherwise the Europeans would have to play with themselves next year.

Just been through my file with them (keep everything like a squirrel) and can't find such a letter. Anybody else recall seeing it?

Absolutely agree with all of the above. I am there from October 16 for three weeks. Would also be happy to share a beer with you as long as you don't object to be seen with a Chelsea supported and PROMISE not to discuss football. I am staying at the Sandy Springs.

Anyone on the same flight. I have a taxi (Large 4*4) booked and will be happy to share and split the costs. Please PM me if interested.

Please count me in. Board name Buddy1 - British Handicap 15 - shirt size medium.

I would endorse these recommendations. Once a member of the IPGC you also get green fee discounts which pay back the joining fee almost immediately. There are 5 bars attached to the IPGC - and the Haven is just one of them You can play golf 7 days a week with the bars. I played several times out of the OK Corral (The Bunker Boyr) also a good group. Take a look at the site.
