Hello, I am wondering if your property is still occupied or could it be coming up rental again soon?

I have spent a lot of time in and around Pattaya, also a lot of time browsing the net about Pattaya, I have yet to see any other mention of a hotel called the skytoppattaya, or just the skytop hotel. Please enlighten me as to where it is.

What is the possition now as to passengers using crash hats on motor cycle taxis? Are the police taking a firm stance on this(and getting their 200bt?) each time? :

Arriving about 1500hrs on 28th April. Thai airways 2130hrs flight from Heathrow. Anyone interested in sharing the cost of the taxi to Pattaya please get in touch.

I was lucky enough to be in Pattaya for Loy Krathong, all the girls dressed in Thai traditional dress, well, not all. On the beach it was a beautiful sight with all the little twinkling lights bobbing on the water and many similar lights floating in the air from the special small candle powerd "air balloons". I could not help but be amused at all the little kids helping(?) to push the floats out to deeper water, and helping themselves to the money on the floats as offerings. I think everyone should experience both this and the water throwing that goes on in April, its a lot of fun.

Thanks guys for your input, it all helps. This time next month I will at last be in Bangkok, then on the 31st april its down to Pattaya after a ( I hope) very enjoyable 3 day stay in Bangkok.

ok guys, please tell me what is the best travellers cheques to bring with me, or, which gives the best rate of exchange? I am so looking forward to my first bottle of Tiger beer, and other things of course.

has anyone ever stayed at the Sanya apartments near the south pattaya market? Any info would be welcome.

hi johnny k, I had my favorite bar on soi 18, naklua road, its called the sing along bar. A great Thai guy plays the music and you and other people can get up and sing or not as the case may be. It only a small place but I have had a few fun times there.

for 900/1000bt you could look at the royal asia hotel in sukhumvit soi 8, no extra charges at all, nice enough place with friendly staff and a free tuk tuk from hotel to the main road.

you all seem to be looking at 15000 to 2000 bt a month, there are some very nice rooms in Pattaya which do cost as little as 3000/4000bt a month inc utilities. I have stayed in one, run by an Englishman. I have in the past rented a 4 bedroom house for only 8000bt, part furnished at that. You only need to have a good look around and be carefull what agreements if any are made.

my friend you are looking for the unatainable, an angel, could there ba a woman of any race or colour as you describe? I dont think so. However , good luck in your search, and if she has a sister, let me know.

Perhaps being early may work, who knows? I am arriving in Bangkok on April 28th, will get a taxi to Pattaya, anyone else coming in that day and would like to share the taxi(and cost thereof) get in touch.

Thai air are having a special promotion on just now and its possible to get a flight at a very good price. I have just booked a return from heathrow to bangkok for £380.00 inc. The icing on the cake for me is the no stop aspect, I have always in the past hade to hang about at some out of the way airport and wait hours for a conecting flight. So guys, if your looking for a flight, try Thai air now, good luck.

hi all, I am told here in uk I can have my state pension paid into a thai bank but only with a sterling cheque. Will I see any problems with this in thailand?
