  1. I read an article a few months back (sorry haven't got the link) that stated the average starting salary for a university graduate was 15000 baht a month. I dread to think what an uneducated person earns (excluding sex workers).
  2. Looks like a nice pleasant day out, and free to enter, which you hardly see in the Pattaya metro area.
  3. What is the average cost of using a visa company? Also on your re-entry into holiday how many days visa do they give you?
  4. I stayed at April Suites on my last trip in December overall I would give it a 7/10. The room was nice, the pool area nice, good staff. The only downfall to this hotel is that the walls are wafer thin, You can hear doors open and shut all night and hear the tv and guests in the next room. I was a bit lucky that my room was a corner room so I only had to deal with one room next to me. Its a shame really cos I did enjoy everything else the hotel offered.
  5. Nice pics, Hua hin is a great place to visit.
  6. From what I have read in the past developers "say" there is a 25% knock down on the price, but that seems to be for developments that have not started. Looking into todays market, I would wait in buying a condo and especially from a development that is almost complete. There is a oversupply of units available, weakening baht (against $,£,€) plus also the Russian rouble is getting weaker, which might make buying a condo in Thailand less appealing to Russians. And another thing to remember when buying a condo before it is built the Russian market tend to buy it through the developers payment
  7. I few years ago, Etihad cancelled my flight, I only found out when I contacted there customer service a few hours before the flight. They give me the number for MAN office. When I called them they confirmed the flight was cancelled and I was booked onto the flight the following evening. I asked them when was you's gona tell me about the flight being cancelled, when I got the airport. The lady didn't give a reply. I said I can not fly out tomorrow I need to fly out today, she said nothing we can do, I said there is I know you's can book me onto another airlines flight. She gave a snotty reply a
  8. I booked my hotel for xmas the other week, there was still a lot of hotels offering rooms. The only problem is and is the same every year, the prices are sky high.
  9. On my last trip last xmas, I booked into china garden for a few nights, the place was over running with cockroaches. I asked them to spray the room, they did, but they were still running around the room and we coming out of the Jacuzzi. I checked out, and was given a full refund. There were posters on the wall saying that they had an issue with cockroaches, but it was resolved. Am not sure on the current state of China Garden, I would like to know if anyone else experienced the same issue their.
  10. There is a great kebab house near tops on the corner near 2nd road and klang
  11. seems a high price for a 7 year old car
  12. I visited Hua Hin in early augest, and the tailor sells not really bother you. and then one that did was pleasant and said if i have any time now or on another day would i like to go into his shop. If i had spent longer in Hua Hin i would of bought a suit their, but i got in pattaya. From a shop a friend recommend to me. They done a good job.
  13. Cheers guys, al be sure to check out the places you's have recommended.
  14. I tired to do a search on this forum for a good tailor shop, but nothing came up. I know there are plenty of tailor shops in Pattaya as you can not walk 5 seconds down beach road before they try and get you into there shop. Can anyone recommend a good tailor shop as i want to get a suit made on my next trip.
  15. most thais either support Liverpool or Man Utd, and this saturday there playing each other, should be a good game. I have watched this game a few times in patts and all you see is the BG's glued to the TV screen, its funny watching them watch the game and they really get in to it. Im going for a LFC win 2-0.
  16. Not til December, hope to see you around....
  17. Am staying at there guesthouse next trip, cant wait to try there food also.
  18. I enjoy watching thai movies, have seen a good few ones over the past couple of years, I also downlaod some and watch them here.
  19. i do enjoy indian food but have never tired it in pattaya yet, mainly cos i dont want to spend alot of time on the toiet. There is one indian restarant i want to try and thats Abi baba's on pattayaklang just off the 2nd rd turn off.
  20. Its a good business strategy. mainly farangs stay in the area and with walking street getting taken over by tour guides and russian, arab and indians walking up and down the street like headlesss chickens holding each others hands and drinking a small can of singha beer from the 7 eleven it gets a pain going there.
  21. Yep i read that on another forum, but i also read that they were installing a bigger water tank to store my water incase it goes off.
  22. Yep looking forward to it sir did you stay there last time dream?
  23. Same here. and also a good price considing the other hotels i normally stay in are way way overpriced for the xmas/ny period even comparing them to last years prices.
  24. As anyone stayed at the China Garden Guesthouse on soi lengkee yet? I have booked there for my next trip and its the first time i will have stayed at a guesthouse. Their rooms look nice on their website plus there is a chinese restauart on the ground floor, cant beat some siu mai's
