LF Hey thanks for the info , I would definetly do the 1 bedroom , and the location I know well , since I walk to the beach all the time from my Argyle Apts, I normally take Soi 5 , but I"m sure I have walked past these before . My last stay was in April of 2008. I am actually looking far in advance since I won't been in LOS until April 2010 but I like to reserve early to get the best picks. I'm assuming These condo's are GF, and if you can get a email address from them or Pim would greatly appreciated it. Thanks JOKER

Gents I have stayed at 2 condo's on Pratamanak hill before Argyle apartments and another condon on Soi 5 Pratamnak . enjoyed both places but always on the look out for new or different . Both have full kitchens, separate bedroom and living quarters, full AC and internet connection of course GF, I've searched the Dyson estate condo rentals and came across The Moonlight Hill Condo's on Pratamnak hill. Doesn't say where on the hill but looks and has a decent monthly price . anyone heard of this place, or stayed or at least know of it's location ? I budget around 40,000 to

If you can remember the hours at the (new) airport that would be appreciated . Thanks JOKER

I have already filed choosing option 2 I went back thru my passports and counted the days from February 1,1996 to November 8,2006 a total of 220 days out of the country for me. I filed online on December 6, 2007. I'll post what amount and length of time it took to reach me. JOKER

Cowboy Sad predicament indeed-Good thoughts for you as well as anyone that are living with unknown ailments That's the key word "unknown" We are all living on borrowed time as soon as we leave the womb. From the initial slap on the butt the time clock is ticking. As of today I am a healthy 45 year old. Tomorrow ??? I agree we should all chase our dreams and desires but with disipline . Live for today yes, but make preparations for the tomorrows that may come. How much is too much??? Be it women, money, power etc.,Some have appetites that will never be satisfied. Years ago I started

I plan on booking a condo in April and saw these buys "DYSON ESTATES" Advertisment they have some good monthly deals on condos . Anyone deal with them in the past ? Good, bad anything? All info appreciated JOKER

Dr Cherry At PattayaSmile Dental Clinic across the road but very near TukCom cell phone place Very good ,prompt, very clean place. Friendly assistance's and good price. I had a 3 tooth crown done there . Once back in the states for a dental cleaning both her and the dentist praised it's quality. Will see her again for any foloow up work I have Joker

Thanks Alan I was there in May and would do my daily walk by these 2 buildings. I read in one report one of the View Talay building share the entrance with the Avalon hotel. You sound pleased if your signing back up . Information very informative and appreciated Joker

Gents Could an owner or renter please explain the difference of View Talay project 1 and 2 and buildingd A or B or C for that matter. I have looked on the map and zoomed in but what is the real difference? Are some buildings newer than other , hence the A,B,C reference? And when is says Pattaya side or Jomtien Side, from the map it looks like there all situated close together. I'm looking to rent a 1 bedroom condo in the Project 2, building A but I wish an owner or a tenant could explain the different buldings and surroundings for me. Thanks Joker

Just Back from LOS .My first experience with Jan and Paul Service and can only say I hope Jan continues after resting . Jan picked me up April 24 .Couldn't provide return trip because I was staying a month. In place and with sign a smooth and enjoyable ride with great conversation. Paul what a class act of woman you have and your daughter Sasha sounds like a gem. Best of luck with new addition . JOKER

Gents reading about all the problems at the new airport. Have they at least increased the "money exchange " windows so the wait is not as long? And locations please . Thanks Joker

Anfield, Redwood Thanks Joker

Chivas I'm assuming you mean Tops Market for you exchanging money. Since Tops is 24 hours what are the hours for the exchange booth and where is it in the store? I shopped there last year and didn't notice the exchnage place . Thanks for the help Joker

As Scumbag has noted 3 exits 1 for domestic and 2 international B and C . After exiting custom from international and choosing B or C how close now is the greeting party from these exits? At Bkk when you could look left or right you could see your party waiting . Does the same hold true at the new airport? Or does it depend on your airline ie, Plane arriving from USA or UK?? For instance I'll be arriving from NRT ,Japan on Northwest Airlines . Will NW have either B or C for it's departing exit? Anybody with info it will be appreciated Joker

Gents, Thanks for all replies. Pattaya hosp.seems the way to go ,and yes I was given 3 quotes all depending on the quality of crown . Pat. Hosp also returned my email very quickly . As for Dr. Aree yes I have read many great things ,but if she's not available I'll go with the other 3 choices. when it comes to my teeth , you could look like a orge but if your gentle and do good work ,you'll have my repeat business. Thanks for the help Joker

Gents, I've read the great reviews on Dr.Aree of pattaya hospital, and I've gotten quote for a crown from them for 14,000 baht and one from Modern Smile Dental for 12,000 baht. I wish to get a few more and I know you get what you pay for ,but anybody have any "Terrible " experiences with Dentist I should stay away from ? Thanks for the help Joker

Gents Any info good or bad of REGAL HOPE VILLAS Is located near Cosy Beach in Pattaya's Pratamnak Hill area. Supposed to be new two storey Townhomes with bedrooms upstairs. About 15 units it looks from the picture. They look great and price is good . Has anyone stayed there or know of anyone that has . Info greatly appreciated. Joker

Trvler No problem I wont be there until April 2006. Appreciate whatever comments you have to share bad or good. Ilovethailand I PM with some questions . I agree with above comments if any bad business deals let's hear them I would like to know what I'm getting into. Long way to come and not have what you ordered. Joker

Thanks for the replies Hotels I don t do anymore when I travel out of the country ,which is the only time I travel. Apartments are the only way to go for me. Residence Garden got old and way to noisy. I have stayed the last 2 years at Arglye Aparments which is where I'll probably stay again next year . I just viewed some really nice place with Fair Properties. Oh well no rush, I'll wait for Trvlr's feed back before I make my mind up. Thanks again for the replies Joker

Gents Has anyone had first hand experience with Fair Properties rentals. I am interested in a 1 month condo rental . Some of the Condo's on their site fit my bill exactly. Would appreciate any info on anyone that has had direct dealings with this company. Thanks in advance JOKER

Gents Everyone may not be aware of this roads name , I wasn't until I was staying there. Its the road almost directly in front on the Sugar Hut resort . The first right in front of Sugar Huts entrance. I believe this is also called Buddha Hill ?? Joker

Gents Last March 2006 . A building was being constructed on Phratamnak Road right next to Argyle Apartments. Does anyone have info on the progress. The work site wasn't that noisy but I would enjoy less hammering when I return next year. Also across from Argyle Apts 2 homes were being built . Close to being finished I hope ? Anyone with info or who could a drive by would greatly appreciated the progress report. JOKER

Stinger and Buddy Guy Thanks for the report Metrople sounds great and the price fits. Not rich but I like my comfort like home . thanks Joker

Stinger and Buddy Guy Thanks for the replies place sounds good .I was concerned about the unsecured credit page but glad to hear that you had no problems . Not rich , but like to live how I live in the USA and I always put my comforts first , and the kitchen is a big plus. Thanks again for the report Joker

Gents Thanks for the replies. And yes I see from the map that the Metrople is located behind second road, from the map it's really not that clear. One other question I see from the reservation site that they require a credit card deposit . Is this a secure site ? Anyone with problems leaving their credit card numbers on here? And how much deposit required? Thanks Joker
