I use them all the time. Never felt like there was a problem. If you're the type that is scared of his own shadow you might get a bit worried.........

yep, only about 120 baht last time I used it

Oh fuck, me too......still have tears in my eyes now!

The fucking exchange rate.

Better than the Jasmine Mansion by the sound of it. I stayed at Le Katai in high season for less than 550 and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful.

Agreed on everything except the food, unfortunately somewhat less than edible.

...... that someone was telling him about a town in China that's like Pattaya ( or more specifically, like Pattaya used to be) , has anyone heard of it and got any details? Or does it not exist?

You'd have to be pretty thick not to notice that months have more than 28 days.

Nothing shows up for me.........

Thanks but a bit too dear for me this year........ maybe when work picks up!

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look at them, (except for Summer Breeze, stayed there before and hated it) as Baanzhan is full too apparently!

Eh?

Anybody stayed there? looks good in pics but I suppose you can't rely on that! http://phuketdir.com/baanzhanhotel/ Usually stay at C&N, but just emailed them and it's full when I go (Saturday for 10 days). Any other suggestions would be appreciated, on a tight budget though as not been a good time work-wise! Thanks

That's where I usually stay - great staff and nice enough hotel........ but there are a couple of cheaper places in soi banzaan that I've heard are OK, so I might try one as I've had a shit year workwise and need to watch the pennies a bit, but then again, I might end up in C&N again as you couldn't wish for a better location really!

Thanks for the hotel suggestions - I'll check out their websites. Going for a month so need to keep costs down as much as I can - got to find a place in Patong too ( probably try soi banzaan this time), but not bothered about a pool there as the beach is nice!

Are you a clairvoyant?

I always reckon on spending at least £500 per week as a single bloke

Cheers, but no need to put yourself out, just wondering if anybody knew of anything off the top of their head - your time could be better used finishing your top 20 thread!

..... cheap hotel with a pool? I like Opey De Place or J&P Court, but are there any better ones for the money?

Is it an odd one out competition? If it is, I go for the woman in the pics........... she was never elected unlike all the others.

Swimming Pool.
