PATFAN

I will be getting to Thailand on Jan 9th and staying until the Jan 19th. I want to have a hotel room when I get to Pattaya that weekend (the 10th or 11th). I know it is late and I am guessing that I am arriving just as are many may be finishing up their Christmas holiday's in Pattaya. I have stayed at the Flipper house on Soi 7 and liked it alot and I have spent most my time in Pattaya on soi 7. I had a hard time getting past those first 10 or 15 bars!! ;D As suggested by some on this forum I am going to try to get a room for a day or two around soi 7 or 8....or maybe try Tim's beer bar hotel. And then try to check out my options for the rest of my stay (if I don't like my first nite's hotel). Is it foolish to be changing hotel for my last 7 or 8 days? Will it cost me more or will I save some bucks? Thanks for thoughts.

Hello This is my first post. I like this site. Looks like there is lots of good info and stories. I have been to Pattaya twice and wish I had known about this site and the FLB Bar. I will be going to Southern China at the end of the year and then I want to go to Pattaya (Boy!!! Do I miss That Place!!!) . I would like to leave China on about Jan. 8 and stay in Pattaya for about 10 or 12 days. Any suggestions on how get a good deal ? I will try Ann at Angeltravel.com as suggested by several posts that I had read. I heard that cheap tix might be availble in chinatown NYC and Boston thru "ticket consolidators." Doesn't anyone have any info on this "ticket consolidators"? Thanks and I hope to met up with some of you all at FlB.
