  1. no its just a once a year 3 day visit as i leave los on my annual vacation. I pretty much dont bother with thailand much the last couple of years. I fly into bkk as its the hub then direct to phnom pehn then down to snooky to chill out on the beach. I just like to party in bkk for a few days before i return to another 11 months of grind.
  2. cheers for that but the location is the key, When i am in bkk i tend to bf 3 times a day so thats 12-1500 a day extra. better keep looking
  3. As anybody stayed in the park hotel suk soi7 bangkok? and is it girl friendly there is one old review that says he was asked for 500cash for a guest but that might have been the night cashier trying it on. cheers
  4. the baht is doing well against the euro and i guess against other currencys too. so maybe its the baht thats doing well?
  5. when I booked my flight in MARCH to leave anytime after christmas ,the best price I got was 699euro with EVA, KLM had the same price but it leaves 31 dec that was the best price.before or just after was a couple of 100 euro more. that price is before all the additions end price was 849 euro these flights are from amsterdam by the way. If you see a seat you better grab it fast.
  6. forget thailand its not a cheap place for cameras sex OK clothes OK food OK
  7. Its not called WEED for nothing
  8. Is this a problem for all destinations or only for flights to and from the UK and USA? I will fly EVA from Amsterdam to BKK in december and I only want to take handluggage, one bag about 8kg in total. I will then transfer to a Phnom Phen flight so I do not want my luggage on the carousele in bangkok, otherwise I have to go through passport control, get my bag and then go back through passport control it seems a bit odd. Can I get somebody from thai/bangkok/aisa air to get the bag from the carousele for me?

  10. Michael Palin takes a blow up globe with him on his travels, get a BG to pump it up for you before the geography lessons
  11. flew from AMS-Zurich-BKK had to present myself at the gate for a ticket passport check this happend at amsterdam and zurich on both legs. Tickets and passport controlled how long was I staying in thailand etc,it was painless but everybody was checked. "how long you stay Thailand" -"I am not going to Thailand I am flying straight on to Phnom Phen"-"Phnom Phen in Thailand?" .I was thrown by that a bit so I said "no in Laos" but that was OK they let me on.
  12. why are you guys flying the union flag and not the english flag?
  13. sorry that should read sandy spring has the best location
  14. they are both good places to stay the areca has the better pools a small gym and a restaurant. the areca has a better location soi 13 is a great area to stay [as long as the construction is not too loud] I do find that if I stay at the areca I find my way to other parts of pattaya on soi 13 it can get a bit groundhog day. oh and lolitas is close to the areca. you have the time so try them both and it will break up your routine.
  15. I have brought tickets on-line with thai and bangkok air both times i have been asked to show my credit card.they do make it clear when you order it that they want to see the card. I often use my CC to buy tickets for a couple of friends with the lowcost airlines here in europe and they have no problem. I have just got a ticket with EVA from amsterdam to bangkok on-line through an agency,for this I got an E-ticket nowhere does it say that i have to show my CC so we shall see maybe its only when you buy the ticket direct from the airline. but you better make sure the names on your passport and CC match
  16. you can always go the other way to soi bukalouw[sp] and take the bahtbus. one way is to south pattaya road the other way to central pattaya road,there are not so many BBs as on second road and you have a short walk at either end. And you get to see another part of pattaya.
  17. Two months after the euro was introduced its low point was just under 33 baht 01-01-2001 was when the euro came in,or 2002 so it was the begining of march that year. last year i got at one point 55 baht for one euro. thats the peaks and troughs in five years.
  18. With the euro since its appearance I have had a low of just under 33 baht for one euro to a high of just over 53 and thats what in five years.
  19. what about internet banking at least he will see when he is skint
  20. they do not need to offer discounts they are very busy cos its a good place to stay
  21. the areca is a popular hotel so if you decide you want to extend your stay it may already be fully booked.
  22. cheers wanabe i know the basic stuff but Cheshire Tom is in the travel trade and he always tells it like it is,so i was hoping he will jump in with the facts peace mike
  23. I will take my holiday in january and i was wondering if its a saving to leave on christmas or new years eve,I am aware the problem might be finding a seat for the return leg. and a Q for Cheshire Tom,I will leave at the end december begining of january when would be the best time to book sooner or later or just check often till i see whats availible I fly from schiphol as i live in amsterdam. cheers mike
