Don't have much to add, but still a real shock. So sad. She was a truly unique person. RIP SF dude

I did a long stay for 30K a month. It wasn't on high season though. Cheers SF dude

Hey Emil; I didn't get to see you in the NorCal meeting. I hope to get to see you here in Pattaya in a few. Have a good flight. Cheers SF dude

Hmmm... yes seems you are lucky (or perhaps unlucky), but it is true. The whole bunch (Mikey, Mark, me, and others) are going to be there. Just be warned. We are not easy on newbies. ;D ;D ;D Naaa, don't worry. Last time I had the pleasure to accompany a newbie together with SteveG (who will be there as well). After about 5 minutes you couldn't tell he was a newbie. Jim's warning though is true. It is the worst (best?) addiction. Cheers SF dude

No they are not. You are better off buying them back home. Cheers SF dude

Hi aniteowl; The safe in RG is not big enough. As others said though, no problems with theft there. Stayed there over the last 12 months for 17 weeks, always laptop left unlockd on the desk, and never a problem. It will be fun to break you in on your first trip, first party at FLB. ;D ;D I will see you there. Cheers SF dude

Same same. End of October. ;D Cheers SF dude

Two questions: 1. Safe deposit box in the room or in the lobby? 2. What are the rates you paid for the rooms? TIA SF dude

So I take it that in other bars the girls will never do that? SF dude

Sorry Pete. This job is already taken by Mikey. ;D ;D SF dude

I had a Dtac (Dprom) sim card, and the option to hide number. I was sure everything is fine, until I tried calling to my TG that was with me. Seems like the setting was just ignored. The number was presented (and recorded :-/) on the mobile I called to. Try it with a friendly phone before you count on the settings. Cheers SF dude

No. It was regular reading glasses. Cheers SF dude

Big C, ground floor, called "Eye Lab", about a week to get them ready, 4500 $Bt. SF dude

Hey Mrstein; Welcome to the board. I am sure you will have a great time in Pattaya. All 3 options you raised are pretty good. Since it really is quiet in Pattaya right now, it will not be a problem getting rooms. My suggestion, book a room for the first night so that you don't have to be worried. While there, give the 3 places a visit and make your choice. Have fun. SF dude

The answer is indeed yes. The service is the same as economy but the seats are wider and more leg room. For such a long flight, definitely worth the difference. SF dude

I tried one once in BKK and wasn't happy. He does have a lot of lookers available. The price is quite high as well. SF dude

No problem Alk. I didn't think it doesn't have merit. Only wanted to point you to additional info. :) SF dude

Hey Alk; The place was discussed not too long ago. It is in page 2 or 3 of this section. If the link works, it will take you there. http://www.freelancerbar.com/cgi-bin/yabb/...;num=1041802373 SF dude

Hey John; Click on PROFILE at the top of the page. It will take you to your own profile where you can change password or any other account settings. SF dude

Don't know about the place, but Foodland is on Central Pattaya Road (Pattaya Klang) few miles away from second road. It is not close to the regular baht bus route. There is a route for Pattaya Klang as well that will take you back to second road. SF dude

Hey; Here is the answer I posted on that discussion (few lines down) I am currently staying at RG. When I exit the room, I see that there is work being done. When in the room, even awake I don't hear anything. The work is on the left side of the building (from the pool facing reception), and my room is on the right. I am sure that has to do with it as well. Anyway, I don't have any problem with it. This report is still valid. SF dude

I didn't go to that specific island, but have been on few others. I know it is customary to charge for the beach chairs this kind of amount. Could that be the case here? SF dude

Hi; I would recommend the Thara-Patong hotel. I stayed there and it is great. The prtoblem is that I know they are already full on the dates you mentioned. :-X SF dude

Yes, I am. That's a deal. :) SF dude
