Excellent suggestion. Thanks.

Sounds like I might never make it to Walking Street. Which would be OK.

I've made a decision: 4 nights at the Sabai Lodge in Soi 2 because I've been there. That will give me enough time to explore other places. Thanks for your input Teelack. And your travel adventures.

1) The Areca has the standard shower-over-the-tub. I want a stand-alone shower 2) Their promotion for the Standard room(no breakfast) is 1604 baht / night Maybe I ought to consider a condo instead of a hotel

It's been 20 years since I've been in Pattaya. In the past, I often stayed in the Sabai Lodge (in Soi 2). I especially liked the 2-person walk-in shower. I dislike bath tubs (inherently dangerous). But, alas, Soi 2 is no longer what it once was: the beer bar complex is gone. The Welkom Inn is gone (along with the open-air restaurant that shared the same covered eating area with the short-time brothel). My preferences: 1) A shower big enough for two 2) Something in Soi Buakhao Since I will be in town from about July 15 - Aug 15 (low season), maybe my best bet is to simply res

I recommend "Fauda" from Netflix. Israeli commando unit vs. Arab militants. A never-ending cycle of reprisals / revenge and how everyone loses. Downer? Yes, but also very absorbing. It's a foreign language series (Hebrew and Arabic) so you'll need to read the subtitles.

Re: Better Call Saul (BCS) BCS is not Breaking Bad. It is its own story. You guys are missing out on an outstanding show

Better Call Saul is available on Netflix - all 3 seasons

Those are, indeed, high standards. All I can say is that I liked Better Call Saul very much. A few more Netflix recommendations: The Wire - A police procedural Nurse Jackie - Stars Edie Falco ("Carmela Soprano") and is about the high price of drug addiction: not just your life but also the complete betrayal of trust to everyone near and dear Episodes - comedy. Might not be for everyone Orange is the New Black - Women's prison dramedy (with MA-rated lesbian sex)

To redeem my soiled rep, I'll recommend 3 films from Netflix. 1) Below Her Mouth: A laughable predictable plot BUT really good erotic lesbian sex. This is little more than soft-core porn that somehow got general theater distribution. 2) Carol: a 2015 romantic drama starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara ("Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"). The movie is unusual in that there are two equal lead roles. It works. In fact, it works so well that the story is less a lesbian love story than just a love story between two people. I know, this sounds like a chick flick. It is. But it's outstanding. Gre

Lighten up. I punked you. Norsemen is a Vikings satire - and is funny (don't miss the obligatory Bad Guy who's over-the-top kinky). I burned out on "Vikings". Have you noticed how nearly every episode includes a vicarious torture and sex scene? Just another variation of "Sons of Anarchy", which is another male soap opera show.

For those who are fans of Netflix's "Vikings"... for something far, far better (and realistic), I highly recommend "Norsemen"

Netflix ===== Ozark Below Her Mouth - GREAT erotic softcore lesbian porn, disguised as "drama". Amazed it made it onto Netflix Spring Breakers - you'll either love it or hate it - nothing in between Blue Valentine - Highly recommended

Netflix ===== Orange is the New Black Wentworth Black Mirror Carol - Great lesbian story Narcos Nurse Jackie Glow Dexter Lilyhammer Mindhunter Whores' Glory
