One thing you need to know about Markland is more than half the units are condos about 270 I believe and about 180 units used as hotel rentals. It is a major tour hotel for the Chinese tour groups. Always several bus loads are in the hotel. It is a nice place but only three main lifts, and the outside glass lift to a rooftop restaurant and a service lift. They are all slow and never have I seen them all running, it can be a pain sometimes.

For 50,000 baht per month you should have no problem finding a place. Most hotels will cut you a monthly deal on a suite if you like. You may also want to look at Markland on Soi 1 the condo units are nice and you can use any or all the hotel services for a fee. Many rental units are offered within the building.

I went in the New Dynasty Inn Soi 13 just after it opened. They quoted me a rate in person of 990 but then dropped to 820 if I book 2 or more nights with them. The hotel will move on the rate now because things are slow and the place is empty. I did look at the rooms and they are better than average for Pattaya.

I have stayed at both the Flipper Lodge and the Eastiny Inn. I find the Eastiny overall to be a better hotel but never had any problems with the staff or the rooms at Flipper Lodge.

Eastiny doesn't have a web site for any of their three hotels; Inn, Place or Bella Vista. The current rate at the Eastiny Inn is 800 baht per night. If you stay two weeks or more the Bella Vista will discount the rates to 550 baht. Flipper will charge you 800 and 880 for rooms right now as they offer a 30 % discount.

Don't need to relax I'm free to post my opinions as you are also.

If you're just trying to get answers to your questions, make the investment in this site, post some useful information and become a member. Then the language that is inappropriate is not a problem because it will appear on the closed members site. you should have a problem doing this if information really is the goal. But if taking away members is then it will be a problem. I don't think we will see you on the members board but only time will tell.

Why would the members want to go off site to another site? This is the site that we read and post to. You are a new member and the first post you do is to redirect the membership, seems a little strange indeed? What surprises aweigh at that redirect? I for one will not take this bait.

Take a look at the White Inn, Cornor of Second Road and Soi 15. A two minute walk to FLB Bar and they charge 400 baht per night year round. Also no id checks at the desk but also no pool. Many guys staying long term pick this hotel because of price and location.

The Nana Hotel is not great but the rooms are clean the food very good and the action is about as good as anywhere in the city. If you go with the new wing the rooms are much better, as are the upper floors above 5. The Deluxe rooms are 1500 baht and very large. They are redoing many rooms now and it should be better soon. I think everyone should try the hotel at least once.

So Pete can you give us a answer to this one?

No don't run it or have much to do with BA, only use British Airlines as a last resort.

You have to love that Thai Logic don't you.

I checked my hotmail account and could not find that it did. So I believe the answer is no.

That is wahat I thought expensive place to live. If I was coming to Asia to teach I would take Thailand and less money I believe.
