Thanks for the info & the well needed laugh !

True, although it is actually 1590 Bht per night in stead of 1690 Bht. But there's no dfifference with the 1200 Bht room. My opinion : if You're able to get the 1200 Bht room, You'll get a room worth your money. If those are not available, for 1590 Bht/night, I would check the alternatives. PS : took the 1590 bht room as I was too lazy to look for alternatives and really love the pool..... Jay

Always the same people trying to get down on the BiB. They do their job in Thaïland, the Thaï way ! Who the hell would we be (occasional visitors) to critizize them ???? Never had a problem with them & i wish the coppers in my country would be like them ! Jay

And to make things worse : "Januari 2029 : Baht bus fare increases too a staggering 15 Bht !!!!" Jay

I thought "NY" meant "No Yakking".....maybe that explains the popularity ! Jay

How did You get that rate ???? The site gives quite different prizes ! Jay

I'm fascinated that they can locate water on mars, but cannot locate where the water seeps in from in my car ! Jay

Seems like a beaver got their first too..... Jay

Pun seems to be gone...but seems like new girls too ! See ya soon ! Jay PS : update on the new girls might be nice

Although cautious about this subject, I think that capital punishment should be applied to those that "willingly" took innocent lives. The price of keeping these in prison & alive is high. Personally, I think that money could be put at a better use for those in need who have never done anything wrong. E.g. : lots of single parents, unemployed & homeless people who are just happy to have one meal a day, some warmth in this winter period and a roof above them. Jay

Came in a few times last June during my afternoon walk. Liked the view, the calm atmosphere, the fact that there is no hassle whatsoever. Enjoyed the music and the video clips on the screens. Staff was nice. Am actually surprised about the "noise" problem, never noticed it, maybe an "evening" problem ? Anyway, when back in town I'll sure be back ! Jay

I'd say keep it simple : any today's 6 Meg camera will do nicely for non-professionel photo shooting. Thaïland is not a bargain for the latest elektronic devices, but one can see some good deals on "yesterday's" technology. I'd go along with the previous poster : let the lady choose the cam (within your budget of course), I think she'll be pleased : Thaï women are like all women : when it comes to shopping.....!!! Jay

Great stuff !!! One of these days I really should scan in my pics from 1989 & onwards..........just about a.....few thousand pics......! Shouldn't take me long........one pic per minute........ouch...! Jay

I hope I'll be able to make it this year.....and your business seems to fill in a "niche" that I missed on my last trips ! Hope to see you when I get there, seems like the place where I want to spent time ! Keep up the good work ! Jay

Wishing ya the best of luck mate !!!!! See ya soon, Jay

Looks like a great party John......! Too bad I missed it.....would have loved some of those shrimps...! Jay (the one from Belgium)

My best wishes for a "story-filled" 2008 ! Jay

Stayed at PBR from Oct 6th till Oct 18th, had a room on the 6th floor facing the back. Very little noise from construction, although as already mentioned : the walls are very thin. The room service is great & fast, nice bathroom and the bed is of good quality. Liked the security system (you need a badge to get through to the elevator) and the TucTuc was on hand 24/7 to get you to 2nd road or Soi Bukhauw. Going through the new mall you're opposite soi 13 & it takes less than 10 minutes to get to Beachroad. I'll stay there again. Jay

Only flew once with Air France, but that was in the nineties...... What I recall from that flight was that it was uneventfull, so that's good. Good thing was that when arriving at CDG (Paris), a bus was waiting to take the transit passengers to their aircraft, in my case BRU (brussels), this because of the delay we had en-route (bad weather). Make sure you arrive in time : depending on the terminal where you have to be, it might mean that you need to take a bus to go to another terminal....and that is timeconsuming. Have a good flight ! Jay

Congratulations Adam !!!!!!! Hope you have a great party, I guess you & the girls will do a karaoke afterwards.... Wish I was there !!!! Greetz from Belgium, Jay

If we had know that giving free beer would have that result, World War 2 would have been over very fast.......! Jay

Wish I could have prolonged my March holiday........ Although Songkrang isn't my favourite thing, it is great to see the girls having fun ! Speakin' about the girls : only one pic of Anna......???? Take care, Jay (hope you enjoyed the Belgian beer I brought !)

Loy kratong being one of my favorite Thaï festivities, tx for the pics !! Brought back good memories ! Jay

kevin, great reading & it gives a totally new insight in the daily problems people that own a business in PTY have to face ! Keep it on !! Jay
