Last month Thai was offering Business class at 1633 quid return, so paying 700 quid for an upgrade plus your normal flight cost isn't always the cheapest way. KM

I've deleted your other post, Patfan, so don't worry. KM

or a cocktail stick!!

The Dusit has a good gym and you don't have to be a resident to use it, just buy temporary membership for a period. KM

Try Poolhustler on here. he buys and sells quite a few bikes, I believe. KM

Don't!! You'll spoil it for the rest of us!! KM

I had a good luck payout story regarding my car, although this was in the UK. A few years ago I bought a new (to me) car just a couple of weeks before coming to Patts for a month. I arranged to park the car at Purple Parking at Heathrow for the duration of the holiday. if you don't know about Purple Parking, your car is parked in a secure compound for the duration of the holiday and they bus you to and from the airport terminal at the start and end of your holiday. However, they have your car keys, details of your home address and when you will be returning, so a bit of trust needed. Anyway

I found that forum post earlier, thanks Jacko, but he wasn't available for the period I was coming for. However I contacted Dancewatchers direct and they have come back to me with several different options at various prices and is looking very favourable at the moment. If anyone has stayed there could let me know what they thought of it, regarding noise, service, etc, it would be very much appreciated. Many thanks everyone KM PS - anymore comments like your last one, Jacko, and you will have your tea ration cut!! (it's the thought that counts!!)

That would be ideal but unfortunately they are starting at 55,000baht for 22 nights according to Booking.com. I'm coming for the last week of January and first two weeks of February. I vaguely recall someone posting on here that they rented out a room there, but can't find it?

I know roughly where it is and will have a bike anyway for getting around and about. I normally stay in Naklua so it's more central than that, although maybe a bit off the beaten track? It has just come up with another price today of 26,400 baht, so getting cheaper!! If anyone else can suggest something similar that is more central and also has a pool I would very much appreciate it. I know there are loads on Booking.com (other websites are available!), but I'd prefer personal recommendations if possible. Many thanks guys,it's very much appreciated. KM

I'll be coming out in January for 3 weeks and someone pointed me toward this condo near Big C on Pattaya Klang. Its a new complex so only a few reviews. It looks pretty good and reasonably priced at 36,000 baht for the 3 weeks. Does anyone have any personal experience of it or of similar type accommodation in Central Pattaya? Many thanks KM

Sorted!

Just booked Heathrow - BKK for January/February for 477.75 quid with Thai Airways, 25% mileage accrual. If I wanted 100% mileage accrual it would have cost 814.75. Business class is on offer at 1635.15 On the seating plan it appears pretty full on the outward leg, but only about 50% on the return leg. KM

It's not an apology

Whatever

Too soon after what? Looks like a dig, well, in the UK anyway, since you gave me a red for it?????

What?????????????????????

I'd heard that the only reason they have zebra crossings in Pattaya was so the ambulances knew where to pick the bodies up from! KM

I do try! KM

Yep - scroll down on the page and you'll find an ad on the right for Real Radio. Press the pause button on the ad, and hey presto, no music!! KM

new link added - sorry!!

I have blatantly nicked this from another forum, but definitely worth watching!!!

I think this was possibly posted on this board recently? Not sure, but I've definitely seen it before. KM

Page 5 from the UK. i'll pick up my beer in January KM

Well, although they didn't play brilliantly, that BIG worry is behind them and they are 5 points to the better in their group. And as ex winners of the World Cup in 2003, they absolutely do have the right to approach this with confidence. KM
