I can confirm this

Have you ever tried Naklua area at North Pattaya. Many cheap resort hotels, maybe a little far from action but very peaceful area if not too near Pattaya-Naklua Road. There are many resort hotels at 600-800B price category, maybe not condo style you are looking for. Here is some hotels: Pattaya Garden East Sea Resort Green Park Resort Garden Lodge Loma Hotel etc.

Here is seating layout on Finnair's MD11 http://www.finnair.com/filecontent/fleet/m...11_economy.html

I have flown twice with Finnair and my third time is next May. I can't say nothing special about service, it's just ok for me. Flight time from Helsinki about 10 hours and they use MD11 on this route. Good point is arrival time to BKK, about 1330/1430.

I stayed at Royal Cruise Hotel in october. It was really packed with chinese tourist groups, not many falangs. Staff was guite friendly. No minibar hassle, i paid minibar with credit card and no extra charge when i get bill from my cc company. I didn't see any customers with TG during my stay. They show me at check-in a statement that they dont't allow any guests, but if they are bring anyway, they would charge me 500 THB per night. I didn't test it. I had standard room and it was a little bit worn out but everything works. I had breakfast vouchers but i use it only couple time
