Gents Am looking for one bedroom for Monthly stay April thru May and like all the pictures of The LK group places. Have read a few comments on Metrople and Mansion in the review forum but nothing in depth. My main interest is which of the three is the cleanest and quietest. They all look from the website to be within sight of each other and the Metrople suites priced from 78,000 and 87,000 baht a month or very doable. Have stayed in Jomtien area previous trips and enjoyed the quiet . I know these are located on 2nd road so there will ne traffic noise but if I can get a room or suite h

Reels , Your correct no balcony but the windows open with view of a garden ,you can get a great smell from the flowers early morning. Using Sugar hut as starting point , cheap eats about 2 minutes by taxi either direction, sorry I can't be more specific since I always cook in the apartment. Real home like feel in these apartments ,great pool on the third floor with view of Jomtien beach area. Locked gate out front at night , a bit out of town and sometime you'll have to walk down the hill about 50 meters to hail a taxi but really works well for me. Thanks for the offer but I arrive March

I have stayed in Arglye Apartmetns last year as well will be staying this year . 1bedroom with everything 1650 baht. Separate living room ,T.V in main room and bedroom. AC all around ,great kitchen, Very quiet. Pool with great view. In room safe. Very independent though, no restaraunt, or front lobby. Room clean with towels daily, sheets changed every other. Up the hill from Sugar hut resort about a 50 meter walk. I love it because it is away from heavy traffic and noise Hope this helps Joker

Perturbed You hit right on the nails head. I too am tired of Pattaya . Of course my retirement is 9 years off and LOS will still be my main destination but not in Pattaya . I too will live in the smaller provinces.LOS weather and food remains at the top of my list but the Pattaya nightlife has so changed since I first saw it in 1991 . But like you also stated everyone to their own. Good luck with your future move. If you find a province to your liking please share the info . Joker

MKGross Thanks for the tip about Mr Toom. I wish to use his service in March. Gentlemangaeoff ..Like to hear your comments also . Thanks Joker

Mr Toom Thanks for the reply. I'll be contacting you in March for a ride from BKK Airport to PTTY. Do you have a personal email for the reservation process ? Your price of 1200 baht is well appreciated . Talk with you in March Joker

Dotcom I wish I in Pattaya . No I'm still state side but will be there in March . Just want correct info on price . It seems silly for the for the taxi's at the airport to want to charge Jomtien price when I'm just going about 100 meters up the hill from Sugar hut resort. Just don't want Mr Toom to have all the info. Thanks anyway . Joker

Mr Toom I'll be needing to go to Apartment Area about 100 meters from Sugar Hut . Some taxis at airport say this is Jomtien Area and want to charge more .So from BKK airport to this is area in PTTY still 1200 bht? And if yes how does one contact you to set up meet at airport. I'll be arrivng at 11:50 PM .This late hour does not pose a problem does it? Awaiting your info . Thanks Joker

Gents For apartment stay was quoted rates as follows: Water 35 baht per cubic meter. electric 6 baht per unit. Is this accurate? Also I know daily usage depends on your habits, weather, but just a general average cost would be apprecaited .Thank you. Best regards JOKER

Gents For all that gave comments about LK Metropol thanks. 3000 baht for 1 night wouldn't kill me over 3 weeks but saw the ad for Sole Il De Siam , on Soi Pattaya Klang (Soi Boakao) for 20,000 baht for the month for a 1 bedroom . Only had the diagram layout for it but the size is 57sq m. I guess it's part of the Diana Estate Condo people?? The only downside looks like it is near X-Zyte Disco . Any knowledge of this one guys any info would be apprecaited. Also a footnote. IT seems from the same website I pulled up another building they own The Monoca Residence Apartments for 28,000 a month.

Gents I have not been able to locate any "inside the room" Pictures of either LK Metropole Or Opey De Place apartments. I see LK has rates of 3000 baht for 1 bedroom . Is this worth it? Also if anyone has stayed there is it quiet for sleeping at night? And since I'm on the subject Nong Aparmtents look nice . Any comments .Thanks JOKER

Mike OK now this clears alot of things up. You see I do not consider myself african american Like alot of black americans do.I know this is often an insult to "true" african people. I travel out of the country because I like too.Not for the sex.Heck you can get that anywhere.But to relax and enjoy a different culture.LOS suits me becasue of the food and people and price.Same as Brazil.I see many African men in my state with the same attitude that you profess and more power to you.I meant no disrespect and I too will retire in Asia. I must mention though that I do find it humerous when I am

Mike I too am a black male from the USA.And yes you are entitled to your opinion but come on.Why travel to a ASIAN country in search of a fat white women. My god the Northwest of USA is full of them.You'll have your pick of fat obedient women here.There mostly all on Goverment assistance so you'll have a place to live and free food to eat. Your thinking is a bit amiss .Logically you could go to the european countries to find your liking but to an asian country??True I have been appraoched by some Russian women when I am in LOS but I quickly vacate the area. Your points on black women being

Just saw these apartments on the net through Pattaya.lapu,They are located on Buddha hill ,well actually Phratamnak hill.From the pictures the layout looks similair to RG where I normally stay .Has anyone stayed here ?Thanks Joker

Please Does anyone have any information ie. cost,conditions,guest approval on Lawsawdee Laggon Apartments.Located behind Big C on Soi 2 .I like a place with a separate bedroom and living room . any information would be apprecaited thank you , Joker

Just some words of advice if anyone is thinking about. Or has dealt with "Pattaya Fan Club" It is an organization ran by a Thia woman Named Pan or Nan I have recieved email from both names . They are married to foriegn men.I have dealt with Fan club 3 times now they are a middleman for deals in Hotels and other venues.I secured a villa thru them for "View Talay " in April of 2003 .Got a great deal for half price and everything went smooth.So I booked 2 additional stays for the same price.My stay in October of 2003 ,problem.I arrived with View Talay having no knowlegde of my reservation ,even t

Guys Anyone stayed at the "2"bedrooms in the Residence suites? Same layout as the 1 bedrooms and same building?And what floors are they on? Thanks. Joker

Papillion What is the guest policy at the President Park?And how close to NEP and Cowboy? Thanks Joker

Bob and everyone else thanks for the answers.Bob I have read the reviews and see the differences of the tower selection with the prices I see on the internet I might as well get the Grand suite.Are the suites located in the connected building 1 and 2 or across the street in tower 3 which I have read is nosiy and rundown.I thank you in advance . Joker

Gentlemen I have narrowed it to 2 hotels for my 3 to4 night stay in BKK,before my assault on Pattaya. The Landmark or the J.W. Marriot . read the reviews on the Marriot but saw nothing for the Landmark besides their website.Both 5 star so questions would be guest friendly.I plan on reserving a suite or deluxe room so price is not a problem and I am on the reserved side so no swing from the chandelier type women,Thanks in advance, Joker

Gentlemen Need opinions of the condo's at View Talay Condo. (ie) Guest friendly,condtions of suites. I know the location but need general knowledge if anyone has stayed there.I plan on renting the executive suite for my friend in September, from the picture looks nice ,but ??.Appreciate any comments. Thanks in advance JOKER

I have heard nothing but great things about EVA have always flown AA or UNITED but got a great deal for $757.00 Out of Seattle that sent chills up my spine . Find it off the net but may call travel agent that was recommended .Thanks again for the help .See ya in LOS JOKER
