Sunny Valentine; thanks for replying. I was letting steam off yesterday in a internet cafe. Seems Acer Auckland will have it repaired by next wednesday. They have told me my extended warranty covers everything except the battery and power cables until June 2005. Great so i get a new motherboard and a new screen plus other bits and pieces. Still hope to get a Vaio one day. It is on my shopping list to replace the Acer when the time comes. Might go and buy a Sony photo printer before going to LOS...im pondering again

Anyone got one of these esp top of the line model with CD or DVD burner etc. What is the sony software like? Do you still get standard microsoft software? I am considering buying one? My Acer travelmate motherboard died after 18 months (purchased new) and Acer are bitching that the motherboard is not incl in the extended (purchased as a extra) warranty. i told them bullshit so they have sent my machine to Auckland to consider wether they pay or I pay. Im off to LOS week after next so I don't have time to play with. They told me my machine will be looked at in a priority line. bullshit again.

yeah could you please. thanks mate.

Roppongi who did you email , priceline or JW Marriott itself.? thanks.

above:elevated view from pattaya center jnr suite I love the big rooms, but they must be numbers 601,602,701,702,801,802 etc as the jnr suites are only located on the front of the building (maybe back end as well) good rooms to party in, the girls like them, central to beach road and most malls. the view is absolutely breathtaking with large windows and plenty of sun. The downside is they are a bit oldest (but still adequate to what you pay) the bathroom is simple and the phone has to go through a operater, no chance to use the internet from your room. I have never stayed at the Fli

Joker I am staying there next month but Papillion messaged me that there is no problem. Remember its another hotel in the stable like grand president.

Papillion, but if you stay at the Baioke you get two lift paases thrown in plus a welcome drink up at the bar.

A shot of the residence garden safe. Still I wouldn't worry about it. I have taken my laptop to Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia. Even left it in a bungalow with a room full of bargirls in Phuket whilst i went on a day trip to James Bond island and the laptop and the girls were still there when I returned. Gotta love Thailand.

Found out they stopped flying to U-Tapao from PP about a year back now. You have to go thru Bangkok. I was trying to cut out one long taxitrip/bus ride on news years eve.

I have checked out Bangkok Airways website as well ans some of the pages of their website pages script are corrupted.

Has anybody flown this route. Is it direct or via Bangkok. I need to know. I have instructed my travelagent to book my a flight from Bangkok to Phnom Pehn then back again but to U-Tapao so I don't have to travel from Bangkok to Pattaya. The travel Agency says the flight doesn't exist so can somebody tell me the schedule/flight number/days of service/departure time. thanks in advance.

Don't know about Ptty but the Conrad in BKK has high speed but comes at a price, 640 baht per day.

about $NZ300 at least = about THB6000

When ever I used to leave my beloved Thailand from my Bangkok hotel, On the way to the Airport the taxi used to go pass this rather tall building on the highway. One taxi driver told me it was a hotel which I later found out was the Baiyoke. If you check out on FLB under hotel bookings and select Bangkok this link should pretty much take you to it. http://www.freelancerbar.com/Hotels/booking.html As my wife was going to be in Bangkok for 2 or 3 days I booked a jnr Suite on the 52nd floor for a absurb amount of 2500 baht per night. There is a small hallway leading into the jnr suite

interested in some names. Maybe dickhead airlines.

Ben, yes we had a pvte discussion on Fortune in April when I was last in town but I was hoping to see if any other members had the same experience as you.

I hope that incls video monitors. I love TG but SG and CX are leaving them for dead

never heard of it. Probually a misprint and is the landmark hotel in Bangkok.

Looking for some accomodation for late December. Been in the lobby. Are the rooms clean and modern or are they old and tattered. I like the location as its close to shopping and away from Sukumvitt. Still considering the JW Marriot if I can afford it. Final Question. Quest Friendly.??????

I've stayed at both whilst Pres Solitaire say they might be 5 star they are only about 3.5 stars whilst Conrad is a 5 star plus.

heres the link. http://www.hotels.com/process_search.jsp;j...2&numchildren=0 There is no Conrad but does anybody have any idea where Royal City Avenue is as the Rddison looks ok for $US65.00 per night.

The Conrad Bangkok is the second best hotel I have ever stayed at (The best being in a suite at The Hyatt Regency in Surabaya, Indonesia) I have stayed at the Conrad twice on the last two trips at 2 nights each time. The hotel is situated in one of the towers of All Seasons Place which is halfway down Wireless Road. Wireless Road is a ten minute walk to the BTS Skytrain stop (only 1 stop to nana station or two stops to Asoke station) or a 20-25 minute walk to NanaPlaza if you have the energy and time. Wireless road is of course home to many embassies. In one of the towers at All Seasons Pla
