Apartment For Rent A married businessman meets a beautiful girl and agrees to spend the night with her for $500. He spends the night with her but before he leaves, he tells her that he does not have any cash with him, but he will have his secretary write a check and mail it to her, calling the payment "RENT FOR APARTMENT." On the way to the office he regrets what he has done, realizing that the whole event was not worth the price. So he has his secretary send a check for $250 and enclosed the following typed note: Dear Madam : Enclosed you will find a check in t

stinger, I haven't stayed at sheraton so I was guessing based on the material they show on the website. Thanks for posting the info. I have not seen many posts on it since it just opened a few months ago. But as a comparison I would not consider either the sheraton grande BKK or westing grande BKKor JW Marriott 5 BKK 5 star hotels althought they are certainly solid 4 star hotels. I have stayed at all three and they are certainly better than the mariott in pattaya but the difference doesn't always seem to be worth the money to me. I get the sheraton westin and JW on priceline for abou

csoday, Areca is 2star maybe 2.5 lk metro 2 star Marriott a solid 3 star. the new shearaton should be a 3 star maybe a 3.5. I have never seen the cliff hotels but they shold be a 3-4 star they have several hotels at the same property. I think the cliff is not gf they may charge a joiner fee. others are gf. there are not any 5 stars in pattaya that I know of. you would have to stay in bangkok at oriental, shang etc fro 5 star.

try the marriot website sometime they have specials. I have been here for $80 US

hey robert, rooms are good, staff is good, i am a member and have stayed there many times. With memeber ship suite is 1900 baht instead of 2500 baht non seaview but you can stiil see it from one balcony so why pay extra. Suites are 2 rooms each has balcony and bathroom with tub/shower. I didn't think the beds were too hard and RG beds are 2 hard for me. suites have bed in one room with tv etc 2nd room is sofa that converts to a bed if you need to has its own tv etc. rooms have a refrigerator. location is good easy to beach road or second road. seaview rooms get 100 baht discount w/membership

That is not late as far as flights go. I have stayed at BKK from 11 until 3:30 am waiting for freind to arrive. Turns out there are like 4 747,s every 15 minutes until something like 3:30 am. between 3:30 and 5 there are only a few flight arriving and then it starts up again. Getting a taxi to pattaya could be a problem though. Many will not want to go at that time becuase they know it will be hard to get a fare back. And it mean they will not get home until 3 or 4 a.m. Other will be willing to go but want 2500 baht or more. You may or may not be able to get someone willing to go for 800 o

Last time I was in BIZ class on singapore air from HKG-SFO I had a very nice lie flat seat/bed. Much nicer than United. Best thing about United FF miles earn them on united use them on Singapore.

GOOD GOD how can anyone compare the 2"???? Flipper is a dive. It is the only place where I have had a girl say Lets go back to my loom it bigger, better"" If you are on a budget and have to stay under 800 baht well okay flipper's selling point is that it is cheap as low as 600 baht if you pay in advance. But the "new"wing was probably built before the war ---as in wwII.

tiger air also has flights. sometimes as low as $28 sing but the taxe and charges can add up check out the final price before making plans. Sometimes Singapore air has a deal but that is pretty rare.

United is flying for $752 all taxes included and giving double miles if you sign up for them. Hawk flew china air lat month and said it was good. They gave him an open tciket Bkk-lax and return for $800.

whatever is in it my thai brothers in law would rather drink m150 than Johhny black.

united has a policy of not upgrading unless you bought full fare coach, or are a premier member on a pricy ticket, or they need to becuase there not enough seat left in coach. 2 times last year I was traveling on short notice and wound up paying 12-13 hundred for my ticket. I was upgraded to Biz on the sfo-nrt leg both ways one trip and from nrt to sfo the other. It is hard to catch a free upgrade from NRT to BKK becuase to many japanese are buying biz class seats that biz gets full. I did have one nice upgrade on the nrt to bkk on another trip 2 years ago. someone else took my

The new airport has it own tollway. Works really well you pull a ticket when you get on and then pay when you get off. none of this toll booth stuff every 5 miles. I was driving on it last year and it only cost 40 baht to go from the new airport to chonburi. The tollway ended in chonburi but it was obvious that the intent is to continue it to pattaya. If anyone can walk me thru posting pictures I have a picture of the tollway whilst I was in route.

Bank of farang. just ask any BG & they will tell you that with a little bak whan you can make unlimited withdrawals.

I was shopping fares again today. Pushing my departure date back into april I found United fares as low as $839. That's not bad but just a month ago there was march fares as low as $635 sfo-bkk. If you check travelocity you will find that united has the fastest trips to bkk from sfo. 19 hours going 16 hr+ coming back. Only eva comes close. That and now that thai is flying direct from lax to bkk it could be 19 hours from sfo. or if I could get to la for something else then something like 14hr plus from LAX to BKK. even at that the united thai sfo lax bkk fare came to only $1100. anyone flo

SA-teef, you can thank delta and northwest. With talk of a strike hapening at those companies in the next few weeks demand for united flight went ballastic. They still have some cheap fares but for several days that I was checking in march and april they were completely sold out.

Chivas, I'd suggest you look more closely. In the last 4 years in more than 25 trips I alway see customs officers. Many of them do not where uniforms but are in plain clothes. They will walk beside you and they stand around in the arrival area just outside the doors as well as inside the doors. some nights at 11:30 at night I have seen 10 or more of them. They are watching. But they are pretty good guys. I went up to the something to declare counter. after about a minute 2 officers showed up. They asked me what I wanted. I told them I had excess liquor to declare and pay duty on. They

Now we know why Bush never goes hunting with Cheney. They are a fine pair. Silver spoon boy "w" goes dove hunting and shoots a Hawk. Cheney shoot his Host. I have been a pheasant and duck hunter for more than 20 years. These stupid pricks need to take a hunting safety class.

I stayed there summer of 2004. Registered my girl with the desk and reserved the room for 2 people. They still gave me a hard time. Actually they were downright rude. Great gym and facilities. But if you are a farang with a thai girl the will treat you, and especially the girl, like shit. they don't want your business, so why bother??

swiss grottino right behind robinsons. great place but only like 30 rooms so avance reservations is just about mandatory.

I would thry to get the JW down the street on priceline for $80 us before I paid the landmark the 4000 baht plus they usually want for a room.

First off, your are misreading the asia rooms information. all rooms are booked for double occupancy. extra guest are subject to a charge. i.e. some hotels charge extra if you have 3 people staying instead of 2. asia rooms puts tht disclaimer becuase some hotels have breakfast included and charge more if you have 3 people. 2nd Flipper is a dive. The have a new wing and and old wing. After you check into the "new"wing you will probably go downstairs thinking the must have made a mistake and put in in the wrong wing. Well actually no the new wing was probably new in 1982 or something. t

nice post pete. but normally i am chasing the titties, not the other way around.
