Nup...just the Agoda one. I guess they're on rotation.

You say "serviced apartment" Does that mean you want a little more than a standard room? This place does a special rate for members of this forum. Not sure what it is now, cos the banner has gone. Maybe MM could put up a link? Anyway, you get two rooms with kitchen facilities, plus two swimming pools, and the baht bus goes past the door. (I'll guess the rate is around 1600b these days, so at the top end of your scale) http://www.theresidencegarden.com/en/ I know a couple of guys who stay here: http://www.sutuscourt.com/rooms.html Larger than average room, your price range, and easy to find.

I thought Denny stayed at Skyslops?

Most decent hotels have the OZ Network, which shows the matches of the day on weekends (usually the same ones 7 Melbourne has live.) I guess Greg at Billabong, soi Metro has them, even though he's a cockroach. Darcy at Shagwell ( is it still called that?) shows all Aussie sport, AFL, NRL, racing. A bit of a drag to get there, but a nice bar with good tucker.

Hang on. I'm insulted. Since when is a svelte 40" equivalent to Fat Bastard?

Strange post. I guess by your handle you've got something better on offer?

I've been to Kanchanburi twice, stayed at this place as well as a place near it called Noble Night. Both good, I don't recall the pool at Pong Phen, must be new. I preferred Noble Night, but don't get a 'downstairs' room past the pool, as they are small and exposed to the sun.

I've stayed there twice, once in a standard room, once in a spa suite. great hotel, but last time the 'staff' were low in numbers. I guess thats a cyclical thing, like most places in LOS.

What was the one that Caruso became famous in? Big tick for Picket Fences....Fyvush Finkel and Ray Walston just superb.

Bought that on dvd a while back, as someone said, got to be watched in the right (wrong) order. I recorded the remake last year but haven't watched it yet. Ditto Life On Mars...the original UK version. I was confined to my room in Jomtien for a month three years ago, got the set of Blackadder from that place on 2nd Rd. I got converted to the US version of The Office at the same time. Ive also got some Hill St Blues on tape.....I fear it may age badly when its time to view it again. Next purchase may be AufWeidersehn Pet, I don't think series 3 or 4 were ever shown here. (Oz) And nobody from Britland has nominated Rumpole yet? For shame.... Meanwhile, I'll just wait for Sgt Bilko to come back.

She won't run again this year. Not enough time to recover. More likely to retire now than have another preparation next year.

I have nothing but respect for businesses that try new and innovative means of improving the bottom line.

I didn't know the boathouse had a pool? Your friend could also try Chateau Dale. Close to Jomtien, good rates for 7 day stays, I think they have two room condos. As does the RG, two pools and on the baht bus route.

If you stop yelling you might get more replies.

I used the P76 as a hideaway when I had a regular girl in my room at the RG. Very handy to WS. I also spent a night in the ST hotel next to Tim Bar Beer when the Haven stuffed up my reservation in high season. Took two ST's back there during the evening, they had no problem with it. You'll probably find any girl who's been in town more than a week will know a cheap clean ST room close to her work.
