  1. Ken, thank you very big for the info, as I was only thinking about a trip for 2 or 4 people it's probably a bit costly. I reckon I would be better off getting a flight to samui or phuket for the same price.

     

    Lots of blokes getting man massages on dong tan beach and plenty of rooskies in VT5C and D clogging up Jomtien. That stretch of Jomtien beach is a no go zone after about 7.30pm.

  2. i know this has been asked before but how much to rent a speedy boat for the day to get out to these outer islands.

     

    I wonder who is going to win the battle of Dong Tan......will the rooskies run all the poofs off their home turf? I can't see them working and playing together very well.

  3. I use the meter taxi's as a last resort, too many bad experiences with crazy drivers and crap cars. I use Mr T about 8-10 times a year and never much of a problem except for somtimes a misconnect at the airport which was usually due to long immigration lines. Most of them are medium paced drivers except I find some can go a bit fast from swampy to pattaya, maybe they are used to punters telling them to go fast as they want to get to Pattaya ASAP.

  4. Oscar,

     

    Thanks for the update and good to know as I will spend a few nights on Soi 10 before moving over to the Sandy Spring. Don't want to to through what I did last trip by not being able to arrive or leave the hotel by taxi. Not even a motorbike could get in there. You could only walk and that was on a very narrow (1/2 meter wide) path and some on 8 inch wide boards over the holes (pits) in the soi.

    Especially with the amount of luggage you carry Leo. Two or three suitcases this time? :scared:

  5. I stayed at the sandy many times from 2004-2010, the last few years of which I would stay a month at time for 4 months of the year. Everytime i went it was always a walk in and never booked. The manager there knew me by name and whenever I walked in she would say with a mock roll of the eyes "Mr X i have a room for you....high floor sea view just as you like it". Sometimes I had to move rooms a couple of time but more often they would move others to accomodate me.

     

    Many, many times they went the extra yards for me and whilst I havent stayed there for the past 18 months (as I am in a condo) they still wave and say hello when i wander down the soi and ask me how everything is going.

     

    One thing to note is when you book through the scandi bar you lose the oportunity to claim the discount with the members card as that goes to scandi for their commission.

  6. The best Thai food i have found is in the little hole in the wall place in soi buakhao next to the gold shop. Its halfway beween where soi LK and Soi Diana hit Buakhao on the opposite side of the road. Most dishes are 50bht and rice 10bht. Most thai chicks I have been there with agree that is yummy. I dont think the place even has a name.

  7. I stopped off for a bite in Rosie's last night and in came a Russian couple.

    They sat and looked at a menu and declined a drink while ordering. In fact they never bothered and got up and walked without a word leaving the table in disarray. I like to think language difficulties put them off. Poor Thailand, went to so much trouble getting it's people to have English skills and it now seems wasted!

     

    Yeah, I saw a couple in the PBG do the same thing. not happy that the menu was not in russian and spat the dummy and stormed out after making a bit of a scene.
