The BIG YIN

HI My mate (and his Philipino missus) stay at Flipper every year. he says is excellent place to stay, clean and tidy and handy as is half way up Beach Road almost. Recommends it. He just came back from another trip to Phi and TH when he decided for a change to stay in the SABAI Lodge as a recommendation from another friend. I had stayed there also and found it FLEA RIDDEN, and not very secure. anyway my mate unforntunately this time had AUD$2,100 stolen from his room , and IT WAS IN THE LOCKED SAFE in the room. Explanation from the management was that this was impossible as security is everywhere, (but where are they) so was impossible for him to be robbed. There was no sign of a break in, so was inside job, he had his missus with him so was not a b/g as he didnt take one home. SABAI LODGE, you can keep it. I wont stay there again. Am off to Pattaya myself on 30th April 2004, stayed in the Eastiny before, nice rooms but small. This time might stay in the Flipper as is a recommended hotel from my mate.
