Welcome back, Wok & Rok. Look forward to spending there inn April. Please be open.

Tucker_69er, I usually go to Pattaya at the end of April into early May an have never found myself short of a girl or a good time. Room prices drop immediately after Songkran and as long as your don't want a quite expensive hotel, you will easily find good accommodation within your budget. I usually stay up around Soi Buakhao/Soi LK Metro/Soi Lengkee area in a myriad of small hotels that have good air-conditioned rooms, good bathrooms, big beds and are close to everything you will ever need. Have fun!

You need to get a REAL life....

Try 'Opey De Place' - a nice little hotel with a pool, on Soi Lengkee. Your budget should cover it....

Hmm, makes me wish I was there right now. I guess you REALLY think there are too many 'A's in Pattaya, and you are probably right. I know a few.... I love the video.

Ha Ha - I like that.

Oh Oh, Groundhog Day! - Didn't you say pretty well the same thing 2 years ago, Jacko? "Thanksgiving day already. Time does fly". Except that I don't think it is Thanksgiving, or is it?

And, never het into a disagreement with a Thai (male or female).

Thanks again, monkeyman.

Okay, but to take a train to Sukhumvit from Swampy isn't as easy as you are making out. How do you get a train from the airport to Sukhumvit? And going back is still again a pain in the arse if you have baggage. I sometimes find that it is easier (on the way back) to get a taxi to Makassan station from Sukhumvit, then jumping on the train. But you need to find what works for you....

Yes, used the train a few times, but if you catch it around peak hour (for me that was about 5pm from Swampy) it is very crowded within 1 or 2 stations. If you have baggage it is a pain in the arse, and other passengers don't give you any sympathy. Then (for me) I have to catch another train to Nana. I quite enjoy the trip when I have very little baggage, though. I would love to see a free bus from Swampy to Sukhumvit, but baggage would still be a hassle.

Yeah, welcome. Post a few photos of clean carpets, and we'll post a few of carpet lickers who also do a good job....

Thanks for that. On the other hand, last week I did see some pirated H.D. 'T' shirts for sale at one of the stalls on the even numbered side of Sukhumvit Road, just up from Nana Station, at about 5.00pm. I bought one at the Night Market in Hua Hin only a day before.

Okay, but where?

Metro for me too. Very pleasant place for a chat, Guinness on tap , pleasant staff, and Golf Club food quite good, as well as having some pool tables in pretty good nick. Mine Host, Dennis McConville is a great bloke too.

I heard that the Pentagon has given a 2.1 million dollar contract to United Airlines to remove Assad from Syria, if he resists after asking him kindly a couple of times....

ikkrang posted this recently: "Announcement by Nam’s Taxi: “Nam’s Taxi goes on Holiday” From April 14 until and including April 20, Nam will not be providing any taxi services in Pattaya or elsewhere. The past few years have shown to Nam very few drivers are willing to stay in Pattaya to drive, and the roads are so congested that an airport run can easily take four hours. Songkran is very much a family holiday event, and she wants to give her drivers an opportunity to spend time with their children and family. So Nam has decided to take a week off, her first holiday in over two years, and Nam herself is considering going to a cooler place. in order to keep the service running after the 20th, she will be responding to emails in that period, but is asking anyone who has booked their flight tickets well in advance, to also try and book their taxi well in advance, so she can minimise her online time during her holidays. Normal service resuming as of April 21…." Hope that helps.

Yeah, right - haven't seen that for over a year....

Yum! Looks great. Good luck.

Yes; no airport at Kanchan.

Nice!

What's pedantic about something so simple that it still was above too many people on here? A non-electric one would be a wind-up one, which also avoids the shortfalls in Pattaya electric companies.

Surprised no-one has yet mentioned 'Sanctuary of Truth' up at Naklua. A good half day visit, in my opinion.

How come everybody on here thinks that battery powered clocks are not electric?

My Thai wife in Sisaket has a small shop at her house, a small restaurant that isn't making any money since the passing of the king, and a small farm which grows only rice. As the return for rice out there is only 8 baht per kilo, it wasn't worth even planting any this past year. (Sorry about the continued off-topic post)
