Displayed prices are for multiple nights. Check the site for price per night. I see hostels starting at 200b/day and hotels from 500b/day on agoda.

I didn't know you could bar fine from there. Considering the quality of the food and attitude of the staff, I think I'd pass on that.

The breakfast is good value: 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 slices ham, tiny hot dog, 2 slices of toast with butter and jam, orange juice, and coffee. I see from the pictures they've raised the price to 60 baht. If you want a cheap breakfast at 7:30 AM it's an option, just don't come before then because the staff will be having their breakfasts and will tell you to get lost. PS i like the old pictures on the wall.

I was a regular for the cheap breakfast when I lived in VT6, and would sometimes have a 30 baht noodle dish, but never tried the farang food there. My fondest memory of the Sailor Bar was overhearing a waitress saying "Fuck you, asshole." to a customer.

Don't know what the travel agents offer. I went with a group that rented 2 long-tail boats for 1200/hr each. The boats can accommodate 10-12 passengers, so my total cost was 500 baht including lunch. This between 8:30 AM and 12:30 PM today.

Beautiful day today to be rolling down the river and up the creek for a tour of the Bangkok waterways. Starting at Tha Chang pier on the Chao Phraya, near the Royal Palace, and stopping for a cold one at floating markets along the way. Leave your automobiles and motorbikes behind, all Bangkok may be like this some day.

Yesterday featured more Race Queens, a singing group called The Drift Angels, and a Japan Model Show. Last day is Sunday, so this is all from me until next year.

Casino Edit: Whoops, beaten to the draw by a few seconds

Today featured Race Queens from Japan. It was also Press Day, so I received free admission. They asked for a business card, didn't have one, just told them I was covering the event for pattayatalk.com. The Race Queens had an interpreter. One Race Queen spoke excellent English, but I only saw about 4 farangs in attendence, so I don't think it helped her much. More shots from today

She's really cute but my favorite is Jane, a Thai-Chinese girl from Chaing Mai that currently lives in Beijing and works in commercials and soaps on Chinese television. But now I'm heading back to Impact Arena, they're featuring Race Queens from Japan today.

Turns out the Bangkok Motor Show isn't the only one! Now there's a Bangkok International Auto Salon, at Impact Arena until the end of June. Complete with cars, pretties, and a sexy car wash. Admission: 100 baht. Not the scale of the Motor Show but good if you don't wish to fight the crowds.

I used to be a United Red Carpet member, and really enjoyed hanging out in the Red Carpet Lounge at Narita. In fact, I used to schedule flights to Bangkok that would maximize the layover. They had wine and scotch whisky, with cheese and crackers, and a high-tech beer despenser that would tip the glass and top it off with a perfectl head. I would spend 6 to 8 hours in the lounge there, it was complimentary all you could drink, and I'd get so wasted I could hardly get on the plane to Bangkok.

One of my favorite seafood restaurants despite some obnoxious ladyboy waitresses. -

VT6 is a much newer building, but you can get lower rates for the units facing north since the view is obstructed by the Hilton. It's certainly convienient just to go next door for dinner and shopping, not to mention all the freelancers available on Beach Road. About a 15 minute hike to Walking Street, even less to Soi Lk Metro.

I've heard complaints about fairproperties.com. What was your experience? Your security deposit was returned?
-
The food sucked too, I would never stay there again. Worst dump in town, try The Vault instead.

It's the roaches that are preventing the building from collapsing.

I lived in VT 6 for 2 years, on the top floor. When I moved in the building had less then 10% occupancy, I usually had the pool to myself. My unit was beautifully furnished with soft leather sofa and chairs, had a 50 inch flat screen with a second TV on the balcony, and a sophisticated multicolored lighting system. The furnishings were all brand new. Short term rentals filled up the building and ruined the ambiance, IMHO. You really don't want transients around where you live. My landlord raised the rent to 30,000, quite a lot for a studio with a long-term lease, and I was ready for a change, but I really enjoyed living there, and shagged many a bar girl. Strictly a no-starfish zone, here's a sample from the first few months:
