I would book a taxi through your hotel in Pattaya if you can and go straight to Pattaya from the airport, or take your chances and get a taxi straight to Pattaya from the airport, usually plenty available. Why stay in Bangkok, no more than what Pattaya has to offer, but Pattaya is about 1/2 the price.

Did I mention anyone in particular?

Ho Hum another wasted space

Like that link will be handy!!!

Yeah gotta agree Bay Breeze is my choice. Lex is in nice location but for the quality and price Bay Breeze is better. Kev

RB The Baybreeze had a new lift when I was there in September. Kev

Livermore, The room I stayed the ac was mounted fairly high on the wall, so high in fact my TG had to get a chair to turn it up or down, which suited me. I just walked pass and adjust it whenever I wanted without her knowing until she worked out I kept changing it. Very amusing actually. Kev

I liked the baybreeze as well, good location and also nice pool (bit smallish). 500 bahts.

OK thanks PSBG, spelling was never one of my good points, I'm more of a figures person. Cheers, Kev

Got any taste buds left or what buddy??

Here is a website for them http://www.ash-hotel.com/baybreeze.htm I stayed for 3 weeks in Sep, nice hotel, clean rooms, safe in rooms, nice hot water showers and bath, big double bed but carpet bit tatty (who gives a hit. When I stayed becasue I stayed for a while I was charged 500 per night, and yes they are TG friendly. They also have a reliable pick up service from airport. For the price I would recommend it no probs what so ever. Cheers, Kev

Sorry Johnno but hey look on the bright side you will be in company of bewdiful TGs 3 days before me you lucky bastard. Will catchup for a beer with ya when over there, probably at FLB but will PM you when I get over. Cheers, Kev

Arriving BKK at 10:45pm on flight from Perth, have already booked taxi through hotel. Any fellow boardies at there same time welcome to share taxi. Cheers, Kev

Shit man goatee goes with the person, I have had one for years and never had any complaints.

I detect a hint of scarcasim there Soi7?

Ting Tong, Thanks for all the info, I have sent e-mail to Phayow and wait for a reply. Once again gents thanks for all the advice, you couldn't get a better bunch on any other chatboard I reckon. Cheers, Kev

Thanks Ting Tong, Not sure why not to book from thw website but I get into BKK at about 10 at night so will not get to Pattaya till about 1 in the morning, don't want to wander looking for a hotel if they are full at that time of the night. SO they had better be spot on if I make a reservation. Cheers, Kev

Never mind I got off my arse and found the website. Kev

Ting Tong and Emil, Thanks for all the info. Checked out the Baybreeze in the review section sounds OK to me. You wouldn't know an email address or website for them? Cheers, Kev

Boys, Thanks for all the reviews. Basically they quoted me 750 bahts per night for a Deluxe Pool Wing Room (including buffet breakfast), plus 600 baht drink voucher. They want a deopsit of 2K before I go but screw that I'm not going to fax my credit card number to someone in Pattaya, (me silly not stupid). Last time I stayed back in 2001 I stayed at the Dianna Dragon which was pretty dumpy, thought I might go a bit more up market this time. If you have any other suggestions great, but do like the like of a pool. Cheers, Kev

Thanks for the info mate, I will take note. Anyone else got any ideas, bit quiet on this one? Kev

Hi, Coming over in September for 3 weeks, and a friend of mine recommended the above hotel. It is on 2nd road and Soi Dianna, looks OK with a pool and cheap rate. They also say joiners are welcome. Just wondering if any other members have stayed at this place before. Cheers, Kev
