Hi, Same, same. I always check a room and complain then if it is shitty(wouldn't stay in room if not value for money). Same as Skylab I e-mail hotel to book room.

Hi, Hardly the crime of the century. If he outsmarted you he deserves his 5 baht. Never feel any fear of crime in Pattaya, but lots of trouble between local gangs of youths which we need not get involved in. Probably if you live there full time and were involved in business, ladies and making money it raises your profile amongst those who have bad intentions.

Hi, Donny is a better writer than me and his post should be read for an accurate account of the BKK P4P scene. Never had a bad room in Nana and there is an aroma of pussy in the air.

Hi, Airbus 380 starts flying into Heathrow tomorrow. Think first Singapore Airways flight is due to arrive over the skys of London at 13.00 hrs on it's way into Heathrow.

Hi, Sorry, his handle confused me.

Hi, The geezer is Argentinian.

Hi, On 2nd Rd near Soi 10 across the road from Siam Bayview Hotel. Good place for a bargain. Bargain on prices.

Hi, Think you need interests apart from drinking and girls. German man apparently drink a lot and die young in Pattaya, but that could be something to do with national characteristics. Think if you have a balanced attitude to life, the food is good, the weather is hot, and the girls are nice, so it should help to prolong your life and make your departure more pleasant. You need some money anywhere in the World so LOS is no different there.

Hi, Guys you gotta go left. You can't expect people to keep moving all over the place to find you.

Hi, It's quite safe as long as you use your commonsense. Most of these incidents involve people who live in Pattaya and usually there is some reasons behind them. When you are in and out on holiday you are unlikely to upset anyone and should have a great time.

Hi, I have just one experience of a hospital and it was a good one. I had an accident and was operated on within hours. Think NHS is good but too many freeloaders, some rich, are coming in to avail of services with seemingly no procedures in place to weed them out. I think it is Government policy not to ask people for passports or any of that sort of thing.

Hi, Gonzo gives good info about some places I unaware of. This board is very good for giving up to date info on places, don't know how we survived before the Web. I stayed in Siam Sawadee 3or 4 years ago and though it was ok. The fridge was defrosted and I complained at book-in. They gave me a massive new fridge in its place. I felt guilty leaving a few days later because they took care of me. The problem with the place for me is I like a drink and dont use moto-taxis so I found the traffic dangerous around there.

Hi, Havent been there in June, but been there in July and August. Prices are usually lower on walk up and some add free breakfast if it not part of their usual deal.

Hi, I was talking to a Swedish guy after the tsunami and he was flying home directly so there must be a service from Sweden. Phuket is an International Airport but I think flights are mainly from othet Asian Airports. When Phuket Air were flying from England they used Bangkok.

Hi, Too true, and if the baht went the other way hotels etc would start quoting in dollars which they have done before. If it gets too crazy all you can do is vote with your feet. Otherwise, just accept it and do the best you can with available funds.

the Baht should fairly quickly reach a steady value of 50~55 to the £. Which was about the level before the major fluctuations occurred. Hi, Can't see it, but lots of us boardies are up shit creek if you are right.

Hi, Think the couple who started Hard Rock Cafe's are brown bread. Suicides, tragedies anyway. Good idea at time but corporate now.

Hi, Too right. Your Aussie mate is trying to get you killled.

Hi, If you land on the ground at that time there should be lots of empty hotels and plenty of good deals. I would just show up as you know the neighbourhood.

Hi, If you have any trouble running dont cross 2nd Rd. It is seriously dangerous.

Hi, I think there is 2 possible reasons. Either they are fully booked and can't be bothered replying or they are not computer savvy. Having said that the guy from Residence Garden said sometimes the e-mail they send back goes into your bulk folder which like most people you dont check too carefully.

Hi, I see Torrenova and Gabor, two people on the ground with experience of dealing with them, have the same view as me rather than the rosy one painted by Michelangelo.

Hi, You will only offend if you have no baht.

Hi, Professional plumber is an oxymoron.

Hi, It wouldn't surprise me if Michelangelo is an estate agent himself, they are devious bastards.
