Drink bottled water, make your own coffee with bottled water(french press or melita style), and take your chances if you intend on eating fresh veggies. Its not the water that will kill you, its crossing 2nd road at 4 to 5 in the evening!

Mr cannon, the topic was moved to the members section by the Admin. If you were a member then you could read about it too. I wont waste any more of my time replying to your question, just click on the link in my previous post.

Your information can be found here, no members will help you in this section!

good, cheap, food is awful!

Your photo may not exceed 50kb in size. That may be the problem? Too big= no go :crying You will need to resize the pictures down to an "email" size. Many cameras have software that will help you size down the pics.

Ben, join the members group, and you can get better details and more info on Pattaya. You will also be able to instant message me for the dinner meet up.

Do not use USPS for sending anything to yourself, use a paid carrier......dont tempt anyone Look at renting a condo or email some hotels for long stay rates If you really need to, you can walk into any pharmacy and buy whatever you need without a prescription............yep, no prescription! they wont sell you any sudafed though!

Lets make this meet up a dinner one, as my friends would like to sleep in during the day. If you guys have a preferred time to meet for dinner, please post it here.

We can always change it to a members dinner, tilac dijour invited too! Maybe if we speak english fast, the tilacs wont know what we are talking about I usually like dinner around 9:00 evening, what about you guys? Later is OK too? Same place, same area, I will bring the imodium!

Anybody? share a taxi or limo 4:30 evening? Straight to Pattaya

Forget Bangkok, go straight to Pattaya. Any hotel on soi 7&8 is what you are looking for, see the hotel reviews. An email reservation is fine, no need for CC#s

One of the first things I am going to eat when I get there, is a bag of grass hoppers, and a bag of scorpions! I miss those tasty treats the count down is on, 30 days!

They serve typical thai and falang food, as I recall a filte mignon was around 140bt ?I do remember it was very cheap and good! I never got sick there. Bring your date if you like, but we do talk about "stuff" I hope you can make it!

Buy your camera at home, mostly all electronics are expensive in Thailand. As an example a japanese girl told me a digital camera is cheaper in the US than it is in Japan?

Good on ya! 750bt a room is a good call...... hope to see you in the land of smiles, maybe we could do another members lunch meeting if nobody contacts me on the one I am doing. T_T BTW, I thought a wind up merchant was a guy that sells watches without batteries? LOL

Sorry J_D, but I saw 1600bt on the review? 750 is not too bad I guess? I am going to be at the baybreeze for 500bt, I stayed there before and its near soi 7 & 8, and my favorite restaurant, Kiss. Made in Thailand market is right next door, and beer bar complexes are across the street. It does have its drawbacks, but I like it a lot. T_T

hotel review I am a cheap bastard, looks too pricey for me!

The only things on your list that are cheap is clothing, and "knock off" football shirts. You might want to consider bringing some spirits via duty free, cigs from home, or duty free. Lets see what other members say.

I did a members lunch meet up the last time I was in Pattaya, I met hoosifudge, and wardog. I am going to organize another lunch meet up, it will be at 1:00 on May 5 at the Kiss restaraunt. We will meet at the tables outside the restaurant across the tatoo shop. IM me if you will join.....T_T The May 5 meet up is changed to a members dinner, IM me for the time of the meeting, or leave me your email addy.

Hi, you might want to edit or delete this post or topic and ask it in the members section.

Hey Jack, I'll probally take you up on that offer, but "mai dum lao" I dont drink alcohol, its lady drinks for me! T_T

Thanks Emil

SoCalGuy, I cant take the flight for that price now as it would put me right in the beginning to the end of songkran! Its China air, so now I have to pay $520 to $550 to fly in May. I have commited myself to some work projects that I have to wait until after April anyway. In the Hawaii newspaper, its advertised at $430 so with my friends discount, it would of been cheap. Hawaii is OK, but there are a lot of stuck up women here, and it dont help being in my 40's

Hi Pete, I made a poll, once I made it I could not delete it and start again, I could not edit the mistake that was made once I did the submit. poll I goofed up on Thanks, T_T BTW I hope you got the software I gave to Ben to give to you, its a copy of offline explorer.

Yo Dough, sigh up for the members section, there is so much stuff that you are missing out on. T_T
