Same answer to the same question in a simultaneous post from you........................... I have stayed there, nice hotel, but when I was there in January it was a little noisy due to construction work on the other side of the Soi. Associated to the Sandy Spring and many of the staff are from there or are interchangeable with there, so quality is very good. It is of course girl freindly as are the other hotels in the group.

I agree, having had both routine check-up and emergency treatment there, that Pattaya Bangkok hospital is better than any dentist I have visited in the UK, and about the same price as our discounted National Health dental charges. http://www.bangkokpattayahospital.com/dentalcenter/index.php

Can you please re-confirm the discount. I thought that it was less than that and only became viable with a 4day+ stay. Incidentally, I have found that the card also gives discount in their other Pattaya hotels. (Summer spring on Soi 1 and Sea Me Spring Hotel on Soi 10).

It seems that this is the price PER PERSON.

The place is more like a hotel than a serviced apartment and there are no cooking facilities nor anywhere that you could easily place your own. To give a better idea think "Sandy Spring" but further north up the beach.

The rooms are cabled for internet. I am there now and can recommend the place.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately Avis had no cars available and I couldn't get hold of Budget over the weekend. I might try Tutcom this morning and take your advice over the Garmin. Thanks. severn

I have left it very late as I thought I would be able to hire Sat Nav equipment with my Hire Car but unfortunately I cannot. I would appreciate any information as to where to get one tonight or before 10 tomorrow morning.

From my experience it has been used on every direct BKK - LHR flight I have taken and I have used all four operators. It did not occur on flights to KL or SIN nor on internal Thailand flights. I don't like it but have assumed that it is a requirement of the UK for the direct flight plane to be sprayed on departure.

There is good advice above but I would like to add a little of my own advice having been diagnosed with type two over 10 years ago. Firstly, there is a shock when first being diagnosed but once you adjust your diet, exercise, weight ect you should stabilise and will learn to recognise when your sugars are low. You will need time to do this and it is better done in the proximity oof your medical team Once you have stabilised you will be able to visit Pattaya many more times and start to enjoy life to the full again. Everything is allowed IN MODERATION. Please be careful that a

I guess "unlucky" mate. I had a good meal, enjoyed Beer Laos and had a nice chat with some of the staff, most of whom I have known for quite a time.

I have stayed here on a couple of occasions, not a budget hotel but good rooms pleasant staff and visitor friendly.

I can confirm that many Agogo on Soi Cowboy alloe smoking inside. I dislike it and moved on several times to avoid the smell.

Sorry Mate, I have only ever booked via the internet. I guess that you have already found their address and phone number but just in case EVERGREEN House 160 Euston Road London NW1 2DT 020-7380-8300

Thank you both for your helpful responses. It seems from Anfield reply that they are giving plenty of notice and to N3RGT for reminding me that I had more days available than I first thought. Severn

I am due to fly out to BKK on EVA on Wednesday 8th September and return on Thursday 7th October. This means that I am using my full 28 days allowance. I note that EVA are cancelling some flights. The most recent according to their website http://www.evaair.com/html/b2c/english/# then choosing the flight status tab toward the bottom centre shows BR68 outbound from LHR on Wednesday 18th August being cancelled. BR0068 1 LHR - BKK - 08/18/10 - 21:35 ¦ Arrive 08/19/10 - 15:05 - - Cancel - Can anyone tell me please how much notice of cancellation is currently being gi

There is a very similar site, that is currently Secret, but contains similar content and photographs that I can get to without any problems. Loads OK and even oversize pictures are reduced correctly. Looks as if I shall have to revert to a different browser for this site.

Thank you all for your advice. I have followed Joekikkers advice and cleared the catch and restarted Chrome from scratch but the problem is still there. An example page is http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49355 where the page begins to load, I see the top half of an oversize photograph and then Chrome hangs. I eventually get this message: I can use other browsers but have a preference for Chrome, and the only site affected is this one. Any help will be appreciated.

Is anyone else having difficulty with Google Chrome interfacing with the www.pattayatalk.com website. It used to work perfectly but has recently started to hang when photographs are encountered. It displays some, but I think that the software on the www.pattayatalk.com website that re-sizes photographs is affecting it. Any help or advice would be welcomed. PS IE8 works OK but in inherently slower so I prefer Chrome.

Papillion I have been past the Sabai Lodge many times and thought that it would be expensive. I am surprised at the rates you quoted. Is it joiner friendly?

I received this email today from EVA and thought it may be useful to someone who prefers direct flights. I have not checked availability however if these prices are available direct from the Airline there should be some Internet deals available. EVA Air is offering a special fare for flights departing from London Heathrow (Terminal 3) to Bangkok in all our 3 cabins. Why not take advantage of this great offer to experience a different cabin? The choice is yours. Just remember: in every class you will have your own personal seat back TV with the fabulous “Star Gallery” offering mo

Thanks everyone. I have passed your ideas on, it seems that Singapore is a good bet followed by Thailand.

Many people on this board have given excellent advice to me in the past and today I was asked a question by a colleague which I couldn't help with. Then I thought of all the advice received from you good people. The situation is that my friend works in global logistics and is married to a Thai wife. He currently lives and works in the UK for UK £. The company we work for has branches in most countries but recently has become more involved in south Asia (South Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Laos etc.) and he is in line to work in the area. Pay would probably be

Thanks for the tip Rascall. I have just booked 2 weeks leaving on 23rd.
