Yes it means "not interesting". "Not interested" would be ไม่สนใจ 'Mai son jai' without the น่า naa.

He'd wonder why he couldn't find three wise men and a virgin!

I've never looked for LS dual layer discs. As for LS in general........I've found it to be a bit of a waste of time really, something I'd only use on rare occasions. The quality of the lasered images is ok but it can take quite a bit longer than burning the disc in the first place.

It sounds just like the way every other scam in Thailand is presented. Listen to the good advice being offered.

It really depends. On my first trip to LOS in 1987 I was there for 3 months and my daily budget was 274 Baht (seriously). From that I had to pay for everything including accomodation. I did it, had to share rooms at times with my mates, spent hours getting to Surat Thani 3rd class on a train. 40 Baht per night beach bungalow on Samui. Most of my sex was for free (benefit of youth). The thing is though that I had the time of my life. These days my daily budget would be 5000 to 7000 Baht per day on holiday. You can have a good time on the cheap if you live there but I hate it when people relly on those "Live like a king" stories because you just know they are cruising for disappointment if they intend to spend all their time partying in BKK or Pattaya. When I explain it to people these days I tell them that you will spend a lot of money but you'll be pleased with what you'll get for it.

Thinking back. Fares to LOS, certainly from the UK have gone down in price in real terms. My first ticket to LOS back in 1987 was £365 return. This was with Kuwait airways with a few hours in Kuwait. I could probably get there for almost the same amount of money today.

Is it just peanuts or nuts in general? To be honest it can be a tough one to get what you order under the best of circumstances and asking for something as specific as no peanut products is a bit of a gamble, even if you manage to make yourself understood. Just not worth the risk IMO. Do you like KFC and hamburgers?

£220 return (taxes)......But it was for Thai Airways, first Class to LOS from London and business class to The Philippines return in seat 1a there and back! A combination of a birthday gift offered to Gold card holders on their FF scheme and 70 000 ff miles.

Rooms 202 and 302 are good ones with a nice corner location (I usually try to book either of these two rooms). Poolside rooms are a little more expensive

I've stayed there many times. It is very good value for money. The staff are pretty friendly and they don't charge joiners fees. Only downsides, the air-con control switches are broken in some rooms which can mean that your room is too cold (not usually a popular thing with TG's. The other grumble is that the drapes are light coloured which means the the rooms tend to get quite light as soon as the sun comes up. A big bonus, apart from the swimming pool, is the Car park with a 24 hour guard.The laundry in-house service is efficient and cheap. All in all I really like the place, I would reccomend seeing a couple of the available rooms first just to check that you can control the air-con temperature
