I "borrowed" this from Pattayanewsflash, who borrowed it from another site. This dentist sounds okay: http://www.pattayadays.com/2013/09/i-love-doctor-bee/

"Why would a beach ever be off limits? " You have obviously never been to northern Australia.

Agreed, Steamer!

From your posted photos, it seems they sell more food than Buddhas.... However, I have found that the Buddha market on the sidewalk in Chinatown is pretty good. I have watched some people bargain for quite a long time, and quite earnestly, to get the one they want at the price they want.

I've stayed at the Woraburi many times. It has changed hands in the past 18 months and most of the old staff has also gone, much to the loss of the hotel. (The guy in the downstairs bar still constantly picks his nose) The pool is a good area to chill out and have a few drink in the afternoon, but the main bar and restaurant area is not air-conditioned and is pretty warm in the morning when having breakfast. I have had no problems with bringing guests into the hotel, including at times, 2 guests. Unfortunately, as others have said, the Woraburi needs a rebirth.

firth, where the fuck were you when you took some of those higher photos? Standing next to them?

I stayed one night at B.Arms in May whilst awaiting another hotel book-in date and had a very nice room and great shower; I mean a real shower stall with two glass walls and a door. It was a very quiet room at the side and I couldn't hear any noise from Pook Bar next door. I have eaten there a few times and, although breakfast was better than many other places, on the day I was there in May it wasn't as good as previous visits. Cost me 800 Baht and I reckon it was worth it.

Great photos again, Evil. They sure made my mouth water, but I'll have to wait for some time before I'm back over there (only been back in Aust for 3 weeks). Thanks for the write up.

Looks really good. I was there about 2 weeks ago and didn't drop in due to all the reno work. Wish I could be there for the celebration. Good luck with the new venture.

Along with 6 of my friends, we hired a minivan from Mr. T to get us to Soi 2, Sukhumvit a week or so back. It was early, waited for us, and stopped at a service station for some of us to use hong nam, then delivered us very safely to our destination. No problems at all. Two of those friends had already arranged with the other guy (Mr Toom) to pick them up 2 days later in Sukhumvit and take them up to Kanchanaburi - they also had a great trip at a good price. I've used both of these companies for many years and have (on the whole) always had satisfactory service.

Personally, I don't think the Thai girl is a problem. The bloke is an absolute dipstick! He doesn't seem to have any idea about Thai language or culture, is a litterer, chews mints whilst smoking, and speaks over her telephone conversation (I know sometimes their calls can annoy the shit out of you). She is doing all she can to ignore his stupidity. But that's just my guess....

Chang Thong House - My bed; my shower:

Yeah, sorry, but I forgot to being a lead to upload my photos from camera to MacBook, but will in a week or so (when I get home). Will also scan a copy of their business card.

I am currently in my room at Chang Thong. My telephoned booking hadn' been logged, but I got a room. Fantastic value for 1000 Baht per night, clean, comfortable, well equipped, good wifi, good shower, quiet, and very accessible to everything. Breakfast is, indeed, a bit boring but Robin's Nest is immediately opposite (if necessary). I definitely will stay here again. No problems with bringing in guests, but not sure about multiple girls.

Probably no need to get too serious about it. I reckon the OP posted it in the 'Funnies' section due to a number of reasons....

I originally thought it was free access, but now have been informed by someone else that it costs 80 Baht. However, all Farang look pretty much the same to Thais, and I reckon you wouldn't have any problem using the pools freely, as long as you don't make a big fuss about it. When I am there (in a few weeks) I have some friends staying at Areca, so will just join them if I need a cool dip but, normally I don't really care.

We (Vets) may have a few idiosycrasies that others don't always recognise, but we aren't all fuckwits. It's good you blocked this one - I have a similar "friend" who used to do the same stuff to me, and (occasionally) still does through other networks. I've learnt to ignore him.

worldxcess78, you have no respect for your guts, coming all the way to LOS to eat that shit! I understand people getting a bit of a "fat attack" and "needing" a fatty meal but, hey, it's Thailand and you just don't need to eat (or to try) too much of that stuff. Just my opinion....

Okay, very much like the mob I have used in the past for laser teeth whitening: http://www.dentistbeach.com/ They may be a bit more expensive than some others but, hey, so much cheaper than in Australia, and very pleasant dentists.

I'm in in May too - but 1st 'til 6th. Maybe a bit short, but at least I get to try it.

I've walked past 'My Way' on many occasions, but never entered. It is now bookmarked in my mind. Thanks!

Wow. what a weird little thread! I have no idea why it is here, but it seems like fun for some.

There are very few hotels in Pattaya in the cheaper range (600-800 Baht) that charge joiner fees, particularly if you ask for double rooms. In fact, I have yet to stay in one, even in the range of between 1000 and 2000 Baht per night. As stated, Drunken Duck or any other guesthouse on Soi LK Metro should meet your needs.
