Erik at the Scandi Bar got a boat for serious fishing. With tanks for live bait and all. He can do food as well from his restaurant. You need the 12 hrs trip for real fishing when you head for the reefs halfway to Hua Hin (joking). Halfday is fun but you will only get the reefs around Asia hotel and Koh Larn http://www.scandibar.com/fishing/ If you just want the tourist fishing you can get a boat for 2-3000 at beach road. Anyone ever tried fishing at the bali hi pier? (Hilly?) Sounds like a great "afternoon do", with a crate of cold beer.

I find their rates close too madness for what you get. OK, Soi 13 and so on... They are now just below Sandy which got rooms in a better style (OK, they need 'paint' soon as well) Is the new AA up? Thanks

Bored this morning (what on earth do you do 07 in the morning in Pattaya) so had a look how busy they are on that route. MEL-BKK doesn't look as bad as Europe-BKK. Had a look at 18th and only W-class is gone. 22nd is wide open, cept for cheap Biz. Return say 5th have V class in the morning, only Q at the one after midnight (as the cheapest). I guess it will be just as hard to get an award flight with them as any other airline (did I say impossible). I can't see Thai awards at the moment but it is quite amazing that you can get cheap ones at this stage. But still think it will be hopele

A bit cheaper: http://www.scandibar.com/hotel/

Can't agree more with BigDUSA if you choose to stay outside Pattaya. Kids will love Pattaya Park. But you will again need transport. Will rather take a taxi and go there during the day. My new list to make kids happy... If above 4-5 yrs. 1.Hard Rock (Beach IN the pool, Haven for kids because of the style) 1. Pattaya Park (water slides big enought to scare me, beach that is "swim'able") 2. Dusit (Quiet, several kid pools, shopping) 3. Siam Bayshore (Quiet, close to South Pattaya, cheap'ish) 4. Amari (Quiet, shopping)

Hi Marcy and welcome aboard. Short version depending of what price range you prefer... Siam Bayshore (Great playground, pools etc) Amari (Great playground, pools etc) Dusit (Great playground, pools etc) I left out Hard Rock because of the room size unless you are willing to go for a suite or at least 2 rooms (talking tiny rooms here). The kids will later kill me if you not stay there, but, but. You can get a suite at Hard Rock from 7-8000 baht. You didn't mentioned the price range but I guess you are willing to pay a little more than a guest house. The first hotel that pops up in my

As with most hotels costing a bit more than 1000 baht: use an agent! Most TA in Pattaya will match any offers at the net, or use the net. Sites like hotelthailand.com and asiatravel.com used to be great but are now among the more expensive. asiarooms are ok at some hotels but do the search. Do a google with hotel name city and rates, like """GoldenCochroach pattaya rates""", then spend a day going through them all. As for Tim... Eric got them for 2600 I think through Scandibar.com Almost forgot... thaihoteldiscount.com (Chiang mai) have the best rates at the hotels they deal with, in BKK and

Siam Bayview, Bayshore and the Cliff are the 3 most unfriendly in town. Never heard anyone been "lucky" there. All other big ones have mixed reports

Most of the big ones cept for Marriott (hmm, or did I miss it) got a kid pool. Cheapest is probably Bayshore. Have some friends with kids that loved Bayshore. Your kid will probably prefer the Hard Rock pool but the rooms are small. Think Dusit got the biggest rooms if you need an extra bed.

No, Klang/Central. I got the feeling that they never turn down Soi 2 unless they are empty. Those times the bus head up Klang/Central it even surprised the Thais. Out of hundreds of trips back to Dusit I would guess it has happend maybe 10 times. From Dusit to South it only happend one time that the driver turned left up central road from the beach road.

Breakfast can be done cheap in the bakery. They have an OK sandwich selection for around 80-100 Baht. Best hotel in town, on the Baht bus route. I have never experienced a Baht bus driver going down soi 2. Once every now and then you get one who turns right up central road instead of continuing North.

Lots of mixed reports when it comes to Hard Rock and Dusit. I have never tried so I don't know. Seems the safest is to book through the hotel, and book a double. Even better, send them an e-mail. Print the answer if they say it's OK.

Hard Rock is around 2975B in the low season (May-October), around 3600 during the high season. Another 1000 or so during Christmas. IF booked on the net, not through the hotel. The rooms are not worth these rates, real tiny. Inludes a B'fast you will never reach in the morning... Dusit at 3900-4100 is a better deal.

They didn't attend the same Swiss Hotel management school as the 5 star hotels in town... "Mountain view" is my favourite for a 2nd road view. Back-side view...

A guy I know have stayed there a couple of times. He thinks the place is great. Very quiet soi, unless there is some building going on that I can't remember. I know Eric at the Scandibar made a deal with them but I think he gave them up. Can't see the place listed at the scandibar site. You have the Au Bon Coin restaurant almost next door... Can't ask for more, if you like some great food. Maybe to close to Soi 6...

From Areca. Walk down to Diana/Kiss, grab a bahtbus and he will get you across for around 20B . Or walk slowly across the street (highway/speedway) so everyone can see how you walk. NEVER stop.

Think both Inn House in Soi 13, and as mentioned, Areca, are totally non-smoking.

Will try to take notice when I walk there every now and then. Think it was 1st or 2nd floor so far yesterday. Havent't walked through daytime last days. No problem on the work side 4 days ago, soi all quiet. The noice you will have in the future is when they drag those steel things (that keep the concrete together, HELP, no speak English normally...) on the ground AND when they cut them.
