march 14 to april 3

Was a no show at the airport for me in october, no one answered the phone when i called. Will stick with the metered taxis in future. step

Have a look at www.samui-hotels.com The site has links to the hotels and also the phone numbers of the hotels. What i have done in the past is when i want a break from pattaya i have a list of hotels and phone numbers and just call and see what deals they are offering and some will also pick you up from the airport. Hope this is useful. step

Hi Pete Came in for somethig to eat a couple of times last month and the food was great. The only thing was as you have said a little slow coming. Do you think that if you did a daily special off the menu that it would help. I will be back in for a meal when i get back in march. step

I am flying with eva in march so i phoned to pre-book my seat. I will be going out on the 747 but returning at the end of the month on the 777. The girl on reservations said that they will be using the 747 during the high season and that they will use the 777 in the low season. I did like the upgrade on the old 747 but not on the 777, will have to check it out on the refurbished plane. step

Just booked with them today for my october trip. Booking online was 467.00 pounds but as i like to make my booking on the phone i paid the extra total 471.30. What a difference a week makes, when i checked last weekend i think the price was about 580.00 pounds. Only snag with the ticket price was that you cannot claim your air miles but i can live with that. I checked the price for my march trip and that was 520.00 so a 50.00 pound saving cant be bad although that will be spent on a yet to be found tg. step

I have used westeast travel for the last couple of years and i have found them to be very good. What i do is go on to their website and in the contact us part i put my dates and submit it to them. They reply by e-mail normally the next day with the prices and any deals for those dates and i have a contact name if i want. I then phone them with the deal i want and quite often it is improved on the phone and i am still talking to them when they send all the details via e-mail. Never had a problem and i plan to keep on using them. regards step

Nakaleen Become a full member of the board and check out the bar crawl section, you will be able to get the full updates on the bars visited plus plenty of photos. You will also be able to get to join in the bar crawl when your in pattaya and meet some fellow boardies. regards step

I read on stickman that there is a strong rumour that it wont be open till march 2007. I hope that is the case as i am due to arrive on the 6th of october. When i pre-booked my seat with eva they said to call them closer to the departure date and they might know more by then. regards step

Try westeasttravel.com. They are very good price wise and also very helpful, well worth checking out. step

Paul I will be arriving on the 10th of march, how much notice would you need for a booking with Jan. I am thinking of any changes on arrival times. thanks step

Nidnoyham I think the hotel you mean is called the A-one. It is on beach road and the corner of soi 2. Have never stayed there but from people i have spoken to the reports are good. The chinese coach groups go there early evening for a buffet meal by the pool wich does look quite good. Sorry i have no idea on prices though. Hope this helps. step

lancashirelad1 Try bahtbus.com they have a good map of pattaya and naklua. Hope that it will be good enough for what you want. step

hawkeyes I only bring cash with me, but there are plenty of places to change your cheques. Dont bother getting any baht in the uk, just change some cash when you arrive at the airport in bangkok. You will find the exchange rate the same as pattaya and there are several exchange places. I take my visa card but only for a emergancy. Sorry but i cant help with your hotel. step

Not open last month, i think it is going to be october or november time now. regards step
