Early Retirement or work another 5 years?
sinbinjack replied to York's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
I dont know where some of you guys are from but my guess is that some at least are from Mars the very most I have ever earned was 4 years ago and the year end total was just over £21000(inc overtime) before tax as I am now disabled and cant work i live on £10000 but this includes extras because I am disabled (over£2000 a year)many people live on much less than this and most pensioners get less than £100 a week so get real like it or not not everyone is expecting an easy ride in retirement and an income of £200a week in pattaya might look very interesting to a lot of people -

hi all , when in town this year i stayed at the lek hotel for 2 months but at just under 40000baht it was rather expensive so as I am planning on a 4 month trip next year I am looking to take a condo.I looked at the Diana estates on soi buakow and was surprised at the value offered and may stay there but I was wondering after reading some posts on the board if the members know of anything similar only things required are a pool,a/c and cable tv and of course pattaya not jomtiem ps I was quoted from 8000baht upwards at diana estates +utilities for low season may to august

sinbinjack replied to hawkeyes's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
hi hawkeye the exchange rate in thai land will get you a lot more baht for your money(was about 74 to the £ last time I looked)and the atms ,no matter what some on the board say ,are sometimes a bit hit and miss (some will accept your card and some wont)the single best way to go money wise is to get a nationwide account (try a search on NATIONWIDE)or get some TCs and take some cash as well, this is much the safest way as the TCs will be safe and you will change up your cash at the airport(in thailand) the use of credit cards is ok in thailand but everywhere will charge you as much as 7%(lek h -

Interested what to do all day?
sinbinjack replied to alesypalsy's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Hi alesypalsy I thought of another thing and thats quiz nights if you enjoy them at home then you will find that there are plenty in pattaya and its a great way to make friends, the ferry to koh larn is only 20 baht each way and the beaches there are a lot better than pattaya or jomtiem a real cheap charlies day out, there are all day fishing trips that are not very expensive run by some bars from 350baht(on soi7 near beach rd there is a bar that is either 3rd or 2nd last before you hit the beach with a sign outside who goes every thursday at 930) -

sinbinjack replied to alesypalsy's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Hi alesypalsy I dont usualy give places a bad review but I have been in crazy daves place 3or 4 times and after the first time i never bought his sausages again as they were not to put to fine apoint on it SHIT the worst sausages I have ever eaten (so bad i took on small bite and left the rest)the rest of his food was OK and I even enjoyed his black pudding (I am very picky about black pudding)but the service was not great but the apple crumble and custard was good. Just opposite crazy daves is a great curry shop with the best curry (IMHO)in pattaya its called NeeRoys and is run unsurprising -
took this advice last year will never do anything else in future

low hotel prices in reviews
sinbinjack replied to mzeng2k1's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
use your brains man if you book through a booking agent he has to make money and so do the hotel. If you cut out the middle man which way do you think the price goes up or down -
hi, front desk has boxes but I dont know if they are big enough to fit alap top
-
hi the safty boxes in the Lek are, old wing key ,new wing electronic,and neither are big enough for a lap top
-
hi teelak the LEK is a great hotel very girl friendly, they take IDs and phone when the girl leaves to see if you are ok,the pool is one of the biggest ive seen in pattaya the location is great the noise is only a bother to those sensitive to noise(and if you are that sensitive you should pick some other town to holiday in)the food was its worst aspect(my opinion)the new wing is little better than the old and both have in room safes another drawback is that the room service closes early but that is no hardship realy thge more expensive rooms are IMHOnot worth it and if you are on a budget stay
-
Lek is cheaper ,rooms are bigger the pool is of a usable size(I swim every day)and they have in room safes Dynasty the rooms are smaller tho newer the pool is no more than a hip bath or plunge pool and the cost more ,will not discount for long stays
