I FUKN AM CHILLED BSTRD

cheers tom I will check out air asias web site.

So I booked with swiss air out 6-12-05back30-1-06 total costs 943.97 euro could have booked with china direct for 50 more but I think that that flight is going to be jam packed If I left on boxing day it was 200 cheaper but I want to be eating fried rice on a beach somewhere on christmas day. So now where do I want to be, pattaya will be 2 much over christmas and new year, I really want a christmas free zone. Cambodia snooky, maybe or vietnam,hua hin will be full on christmas samui the same phuket 2 if anybody knows of a beach place that is christmas free or as free as it can be let me know please. Tom it seems that I fly out from zurich on thai # tg 971 on one of the e-mail confirmations and swiss #lx4300 not sure what all that means. mike

thanx tom thats what I was afraid of.I saw the turkish and aeroflop and a few others that I would not fancy either. I will check out the flights for after the new year but i have a feeling its going to be much the same story cheers for the fast reply mike

? for cheshire tom.I want to book for dec 19-05 to bkk return 6 feb-06. I live in amsterdam and normely fly china air but the prices I get are all starting at about 900 euro add tax and surcharge for this and that and agents charges its starting to look like 1200 euro return.what I was wondering was when do the airlines up there prices. What should I do, the best deal I see is with swiss air or fin air about 950 euro with taxs,that is with a stop over but thats no big deal.Should I book now or wait awhile or are there better deals from heathrow.thanxs for your time mike

the swimming pool and car park of the lek are on soi 13,right next to any work at the aa hotel.you guys never seem to want to hear that soi 13 is half a building site. sometimes its really noisy.if your room overlooks soi13 at lek/ss/aa/ma maison etc and there is any work going on you better not be a light sleeper

sandyspring and lek have secure parking

they are to be renamed THE SALFORD BAY COWBOYS

yes i have paid online via sawadee.com for areca hotel nana hotel sandyspring lamai inn [kho samui] all worked just fine

I stayed in areca last october, when I wanted to extend my stay for 3 days no joy fully booked its a popular place. moved to lek for 3 days not so good as areca and more exspensive.

you may have to ask for membership when you check in they might not offer it first

areca lodge soi dianne.

I dont really remember the details but i had about 4 forms,first I paid a deposit recieved confirmation, then paid remainder recieved confirmatiom. Then another confirming deposit and full payment. Then E-voucher that you present to the hotel as long it shows you have paid and the dates that you want, you really should have no problems. sawadee seems a reputable company just relax and enjoy your trip.

I booked hotels on kho samui and the areca in pattaya via sawadee .com and they worked just fine no worrys.

average hotel,noisy airco, room pool ok, staff ok,only made breakfast once ok.liked safe in room ,location good. Areca lodge and sandyspring better and cheaper.I paid 1200 a night walkin.

If you book via scandi bar you get a free draught beer . I never botherd though.

lek hotel new rooms about1200 ,bath/shower combi small inroomsafe.

I would add areca lodge to the list its as good as sandyspring without the building problems on soi13. avoid soi13 till they finish any building work.

Its a good price,just dont expect too much. they leave about 19:30 so they turn the lights off so just one film so you have a good chance off some sleep. flying from amsterdam cattle class there is not much too choose beetween china,klm,eva the only direct flights. just remember the often overbook so check in on time. you wont get it much cheaper.

hippy I had a look at the rooms in AA residence ,they were awfull the carpet was like walking on a soft garbage dump,dark and dingy. Also booked a mini-bus too go to bangkok,paid. it just did not show up. a bummer if you want to catch a plane. I stayed at areca lodge because of the noise on soi 13 [always my first choice] reccomend it booked and payed on line 960-980 baht no problem. but it is busy so you have too book.

A few weeks ago across from the lek hotel,young english guy no skin on right arm, right thigh serious gravel rash,knee serious cut,ankle ditto, various cuts to fingers etc etc. couple of girls and shop owner dabbing wounds with iodine trying to help. Advice from all go to bangkok pattaya hospital, Guy as only had bike 15 mins. worried about how much its going to cost at hospital no insurance?? , holiday fucked. maybe on a budget i dont know,I lost paitence after he would not take a taxi too the hospital, worrys about the cost. he wore flipflops.shorts and singlet. of course no helmet. you better take care out there. make sure your insurance covers you for dangerous sports, cos thats what riding a bike in pattaya/thailand is

They do have a small room with 3 computers in,have no idea about speed etc. maybe you can e-mail them and find out?

They also sell locks cos most of us dont bring one, the cost 150 baht. bring a quality lock of your own and you should have no worrys. its a nice hotel recommend it.

the car park for lek hotel is on soi13 next to AA residence ,you get some noise when you are in the lek pool. I stayed in SS in october NOT a sea view but a room overlookin soi 13 the noise from the jackhammers on the site next to ma maison was intolerable for 5 days. When i saw and heard them again and the were going for at least 3 days i was away Its noisy just from the street in the lek by the way.

I had to move from areca lodge as i only booked for a week and wanted to stay 3 more nights but they were fully booked,this was mon 7 march. So i walked to sandy spring but the site opposit was busy JACKHAMMERS;;;; etc it was noisy so i went to stay in lek hotel, Well that was as bad but because of the noisy airco and street noise it was earplugs every night i really need it quite at night,so i geuss pattaya is not the place though areca lodge was great. stay away from soi 13
