How much to take on a month's stay
sinbinjack replied to Hardeep J's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Hi, the exact ammount that you should bring is ,all that you can afford,if you have any left over you take it home and keep it until next time,any other ammount could see you running out of money, before you run out of holiday.The only way you as an individual can calculate how much you will spend in any single holiday destination will only be evident to you after you have been in that location at least once,no one can tell YOU how much YOU need only YOU can make that decision. Before you start complaining that is not helpful there are many posts that can tell you how much hotel rooms cost,me -
Hi,I don't specificaly know about Inhalers,but I needed some other medicines ,only available in uk on prescription,and I just showed the chemist in BIG C the meds and he gave me the stuff no problems ,so should be no problems with inhalers.

800 Baht from Pattaya to the Airport - OK?
sinbinjack replied to StandIn's topic in Meeting - Cost sharing
Hi conley , I know that you feel agrieved that you where charged more than you were quoted,and you feel that you would not have been charged more at home ,but as a licenced cabbie (in the past)I do know that I was entitled to charge an extra 10p for any more than 1 passenger and 10 p for every piece of baggage,this is what the "extras "is on the meter, This does not apply to Private hire Taxis, this extra charge is suppossed to be for the extra fuel that a cab will use if carrying the extra weight.I do not know how much the charge is now as I dont use cabs at home as they are far too expensive -

sinbinjack replied to BritMonkey's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
I was asked if I wanted a smoking or non smoking room.and as a non smoker who used to smoke I am usually sensitive to the smell ,I didn't smell it at the Lek. -

sinbinjack replied to floppyjack's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Hi floppyjack, i arrive on the 20th april,so if your still in town mail me we can go fishing,but if not the Fishing pier on Nakula 12 rd , is a very long fishing pier and quiet ,its where the fishing boats tie up and you can get a bit of squid for bait. -

Old wing has the same facilities as the new wing but it is a little more worn,and I have no problem staying there,have done for the last 2 years a total of 14 weeks I would not pay the extra for the new wing -
for me there is no choice I either have a bike and see the sights or I don't have a bike and see sod all. I have bad legs so cant walk very far,due to the pain in my knees.Whilst I understand the risks that one runs in riding in Pattaya I also think that some of these opinions are a little on the Conservative side.If I ride smart and within my capabilities then the chances of me having a serious accident are not much more than if I was riding at home,where I would undoubtedly be travelling much faster, In Pattaya I drive at 30 mph or slower(i am on holiday and in no hurry) I keep my eyes open

If you think Italy is bad then try driving a 44ton artic up the Champs Elysée(I was a bit lost) but I wanted to do some sightseeing and I have never liked walking.

Lookin for cheap hotel (Beach Road)
sinbinjack replied to anto24's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
Hi all, doe's anyone know if the Jhouse does a monthly rate ? and if so how much. thanks. -
Hi Jonty, I have a problem also but mine is I'm just a fat git so I also need all the room I can get, it is possible to book a seat on Thia that is the first row after the bulkhead separating the economy from deluxe this seat is much more roomy than the rest,the draw back is that this is also where they put the families with small children as there is a cot holder on the bulkhead in front of the seats(shows how much room there is)and you could get a crying baby(hasn't happened to me) all the way there and back,it worries some but not me,and could be a cheap way for you to fly if it doesn't bot

any newish condos in the soi buakow area
sinbinjack replied to sinbinjack's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
I looked in there on my last trip,but I thought the pool was a little small for a real swim, but it was otherwise a good place. -
any newish condos in the soi buakow area with pool,I looked at the Diana estates last year ,but keep hearing about new places. I love the soi buakow area as it's so economical,and as I'm staying 4 1/2 months I need it cheap,so I can have more to spend on the girls.The pool is a must as I swim every day as it's the only exercise i can do ,as I'm arthritic.oh yes and very fat as well.

Getting there from airport question (taxi).
sinbinjack replied to CozInCowtown's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Hi , the reason that you don't need ,or want a car in pattaya is,Parking,there isn't any,or at least there is no good parking anywhere near the hot spots, you would spend so much time looking for spaces ,then more time walking back to where you want to go ,that a Baht Bus is much quicker and cheaper.Another reason that you don't want a car is that the Thais drive on the other side of the road than Americans,and if you have no experience of this it will make for a dangerous experience,take it from one who knows ,I was a truck driver in the past and my first trip to Europe in a truck was almost -

The new pope was having a shower. Although he is very strict about the celibacy rules, he occasionally felt the need to exercise the right wrist, and this was one of these occasions. Just as he reached the Papal climax he saw a photographer taking a picture of the holy seed flying through the air. "Hold on a minute" said the Pope. "You can't do that. You'll destroy the reputation of the Catholic Church." "This picture is my lottery win" said the photographer. "I'll be financially secure for life." So, the Pope offered to buy the camera off the photographer, and after lots of ne

What do you call the Indian karaoke champion? Gerupta Singh. *** Have you heard about the new extra sensitive condoms? They hang around after the man leaves and talk to the woman. *** Two university students had a week of exams coming up but decided to party instead. When they got to their exam they decided to tell the professor their car had broken down the night before due to a flat tyre and they needed a bit more time to study. The professor told them they could have another day to study. That evening, both of the boys crammed all night until they were sure they knew jus
