Did you think about staying in Pattaya for a week, look for a girl you like and than move with her to Hua Hin. I'm sure you find sailing opportunities there (Google). To stay I can recommend the Hyatt Regency in Hua Hin, it's pricy for Thailand but it's wonderfull ! Hua Hin Hyatt - Garden

In Pattaya 6.000 to 8.000/day is realistic. You can do less if you really want. If you leave Pattaya and go like ti Isaan you can do on 2.000 to 3.000/day.

I think it's codeshare with China Airlines. I used it a year ago and it was excellent.

Normaly they don't ask for a joiner fee when you check in with the girl you will be staying with. Only when you bringe a "strange" girl in every night they will charge this ridiculous fee.

I can recommend "Pein" (Or what ever, but that is the way to pronouce his name), He is a young driver, very responsible, ok car and reliable. Bkk - Pattaya 1500B tolls included. Stops for beer or coffee, no problem. He operates from Pattaya. Tell him you got his phone number from Guido (Boyfriend Jun). Phone: 095449216 (+6695449216). He speaks some English and understands very well.

I'm staying at the Sandy Springs Soi13. Do you keep following the board while you're there? We can send PM's

Hola Martini, Sweex and th90650a, I'm there for my first time from November 7th. I would sure like to meet up, I can use some guidance! Guido

Didn't realize a "dutch-style"-cuisine existed

Which one has the best coverage in the whole of Thailand?

Yes, it works the same way on woman as it does on men. It is conductive to the bloodflow towards the blood-vesels on the level of the pelvis. So, it aids the bloodflow to the labia and the clitoris (all the pussy-area) and makes those more sensitive. That is all Viagra or Cialis, or any other drug of that kind does, it is not an aphrodisiac though.

If you make your reservation through this site Scandibar You get the members rate, no need to become a member then. Ask them to change it, I guess it will be no problem. Of course you can cancel your reservation an re-confirm through the Scandibar-site Bon chance Guido

Thanks Cyber! Will do

Oh yes, bazza, it does I will be in the SS in november, so you did give me consolation

Yes, Gabor, that's the same story

Well, can’t say it is all the Pattayalivecam-thing is a scam, because I don’t know that for sure. But it certainly looks like it. I took a look at the site and thought: “this looks interesting”! Ok, I register and subscribe for the Gold-Card. I have my member# now, so I can start to order things with a discount. Forget it! First thing I try, a discount of whatever% on a lomo from the airport to PTTY. I enter all the info, result: “THIS SERVICE IS TEMPORARILY OUT OF ORDER” Ok, maybe I can try that later. Next thing I try: “THIS SERVICE IS TEMPORARILY OUT OF ORDER” I get suspicious and try a third item: “THIS SERVICE IS TEMPORARILY OUT OF ORDER” After this irritating announcement you get re-directed to a page from the Webmaster where he explains his wife died in a car-accident. Really sad story if it is true…but I doubt it! Even if it is true, it’s no reason to rob people! They let you pay for the Gold-Card and after you did so, the services you want to use seem not to be working. I guess it’s a scam I know, I should have been more careful, ask you guys first about it…Well, I didn’t. I’m not even IN Pattaya and I’l already framed. Guido

Sure thing! It's the least you can do when you're not even required to give a CC# or a deposit. I made a reservation at the SS for November. Got my confirmation today at the Scandi Bar - rate (Bt1190 for a double with seeview).

Thanks Bazzap, Which hotel do you stay in, is it nice? Or which hotel would you recommend on Soi13? I don't remember from your trip reports if you mentioned the hotel. Guido

Ting Tong, Yes A/C and swimming pool! But the price made me hesitate also It's maybe to cheap to be decent? I thought about The Residence Garden, it seems nice to me, but the fact that it's out of the way puts me off. I want to be close to the action, mostly because I tend to be bothered by the heat a little more than most people. So, I don't want to have to walk too much. I want a comfortable, nice and clean hotel. Which one would you recommend that is central? Guido

OK, Ting Tong The Midtown Inn is on: 373/1 Pratamnak Road, South Pattaya Moo 10 The rate that was mentioned to me was bt400 and I don't think they have a website, can't find one

The Mid Town Inn was recommended to me. It's seems to be a nice and clean hotel and not expencive. Did someone stay there recently, what was you rating? Thanks Guido

Echster, I payed with a credit card. So what do I do now? Yes through a travel agent, but........... costed me already 150 EURO to change my return date. So who knows what they will ask to switch tickets?

Only a few days ago I booked a ticket to BKK for November 7th with Alitalia. (But the flights are operated by SN Brussels Airlines (ex Sabena) and China Airlines) Today I heard on the news that Alitalia is in deep shit! What will happen if they go bankrupt before I fly? Someone knows more about this?

Great site Gabor, thanks so much! I'm sure it will be a great source of information planning my first trip to Pattaya.

Hey guys, I'm a newbie. I will be in pattaya in February, it seems the Dynasty is a good place to stay. Close to the action and decent rooms. Is it "girl-friendly", any charges when you take in a girl?
