Maybe next time ... they have a website?

I was originally quoted 1900 for two weeks starting feb 11 ... I counter offered 1600 baht and they accepted that. On their website they have a link to make them an offer so a little haggling is a must there.

I'm going to try out the Pinewood Residences ... I got a decent rate for their biggest apartment .. with the Sauna (silly idea for a sauna, but the place seems ok otherwise)

Howdy ... planning my second trip to pattaya and I'm exploring different accomodations from before. (I'm a hotel butterfly) The particulars ... I am planning to arrive around feb 11 or thereabouts. (Flights not yet booked) Staying for 2 weeks Must Haves: Good bathroom. Walk in shower, or decent sized enclosed shower. NO TUBS WITH ABOVE SHOWER. This is the priority requirement for me and it's hard to research. Good aircon and ample natural light. (I have really bad S.A.D. I can't stay in dark rooms) English speaking staff. I have been to Thailand a few times and can follow a heavily accented english, but I don't speak thai at all. 1-2 minutes stroll to a convenient baht bus loop that can get you to BigC on one end or walking street on the other. From their I can make my way. No more than 1600 baht per day. I will pay a little more if it fits me perfect. No joiner fee for 1 "casual guest" ... fee for extra guests after that is fine Elevator or no more than 2 flights of stairs to my room. (No 5th floor penthouses) Needs to be either quiet or beach road convenient. I'm willing to trade one for the other. Optional: Pool, balcony, and/or decent view Stretching out space ... ideally with a small cushy sofa or other non-bed lounging option Wifi or cabled ethernet ... I don't mind paying for it I have been doing internet searches for the last few days and have sent emails off to many of the usual suspects (Flipper, Sabai, etc). Most places don't have pictures of their bathrooms at all. Need your help finding the smaller places that may not have much web presence or good bathroom pictures. For example Rabbi's Elephant hotel has a bathroom layout that I like and a great location that I'm familiar with, but I'd like to find something a little nicer overall. (Found pictures and review on p-a forum site) Please include web address and/or email address I can use to ask them questions etc. I prefer to work directly with the hotel and not use an online booking system if I can. At least not until I've corresponded with the hotel first. Thanks for help
