I thought so because when i checked the website these (Smaller) Rooms weren't on there.

Not sure when you're going to be here but I'm in Pattaya now and passed Areca Lodge the other day (11th Oct) and they had cracking walk-in deals advertised outside on a banner.I'm not staying there so I'm not sure how long this Promo is on for but I'm sure it would beat anything on any of those booking sites.I checked their website and the 'Deal' hasn't been put on there(maybe they don't update their site regularly) or it's just a walk-in Promo.

Metro Apartments Bar (Soi LK Metro)

From a Customer's point of view i like Booking.com and have used them several times.No hidden fees/extras/no deposits,easy cancellation rules,and you pay directly with the hotel once you are there.

I have been staying at CG for numerous trips now and still find it to be one of the best value Guest Houses in the Lengkee/Buakaow area.As has been previously said you have to book in advance to secure a room as it's a very popular place.

The Best Cards To Use Abroad http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-travel-money

You can make a cash advance with any card be it CC or DB.You just have to be careful of poor ex rates in the particular card that you use.As i mentioned for Brits Halifax Clarity is reputedly the best card to use (good ex rates and low 0% APR).The trick is to make the advance and then pay the Halifax Bill online as soon as possible hence avoiding/Minimalising the interest on the transaction.

I have done this with my Halifax Clarity Visa Credit Card.You just go into the branch with your Card and Passport and ask for a cash advance.Sign a fransaction form and that's it.I did this on numerous occasions at the K Bank in the Avenue on 2nd Road.No problems and avoided the ATM fee.Halifax Clarity is one of the best CC's to use abroad for Brits.

Any prices on Teeth Whitening?

Where's The Serbian bar?

Their Website http://atsearesidence.com/

Apart from Super Rich,I posted Money exchange Links (not Banks) in response to Zeus's Post.The Bank Foreign Currency exchange rates website only seem to deal with Banks and not Money Exchanges so i'm not sure that they will add any of the Money Exchange places to their site

Twelve Victory Exchange (Near Tops Central Road Pattaya) & Pradipat Road BKK http://www.twelvevictoryexchange.com/exchange.php?lang=en Yenjit ,Branches at 112 Walking Street,Tops Central Road Pattaya,Soi 5 Jomtien Near Immigration.Chaiyapruk Jomtien Soi Baan Suan Lalana and also a branch in Soi Buakaow (not sure of location) http://www.yjpattayaexchange.com/4.html Vasu (Sukhumvit Soi7/1 Bangkok Near Nana Plaza) http://www.vasuexchange.com/ Super Rich (Branches in various places in BKK) http://www.superrich1965.com/

That's an excellent site i've been using for a few years.Their are also some good 'Free apps' for Mobile Phone users.I use an Android phone and have a few good apps downloaded for when i'm over in LOS.You can get them via Play Store. Here's a link to some of the Money exchange apps which you can search on your phone on Play store (Android) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.megarichcurrencyexchange.thailand&hl=en

Touched a nerve have we? Bite Bite

Since when has a couple of large Chang's been 750 Baht? Tell us were you're drinking at so we can avoid the place.Put's a whole new meaning to the phrase two week millionaires! But that's another thread i guess.

I was in there during my last trip and didn't see him and wondered were he was(as he has always seemed part of the furniture).A real friendly guy and good host.

Last i heard they were Gigging @The Pier Club Walking Street

Whereabouts on Soi Buakaow is Yenjit exchange?

Never heard of WSA Money exchange but i very much doubt it will give you close to 50 Baht to the £1.It would be financial suicide for them when the Live Trade rate for cash is only 46.06, meaning they would be on a massive loser.Whoever you heard this from i suggest is misinforming you. Vasu and Super Rich are two of the best cash exchanges in Bangkok from my previous experience.

A Good link to Bank ex rates.If changing cash TT exchange (Yellow booths) and various other Cash ex rate booths usually offer higher rates YMMV. http://bankexchangerates.daytodaydata.net/default.aspx If in Bangkok http://www.superrich1965.com/ If you're staying near Nana (Soi 4) area (Sukhumvit Road) This exchange is close by and good rates for changing cash http://www.vasuexchange.com/

Well i am using my Q Miles for my next Flight (May/June) Manchester to BKK return 70K Qmiles but have to pay just over £200 in air taxes etc,still better than a kick in the bollocks imo,if you know how to work them and book rewards flights well in advance then for nothing they're well worth accumulating.It's my 2nd 'Rewards' flight with Qatar i have also had 3 rewards flights with Emirates in the past 10 years or so.Emirates air taxes are cheaper usually around £100 so as i mentioned collecting/joining frequent flyer programmes is well worth it even if you don't use the miles it doesn't cost y

I always make sure i leave Los with some Baht ready for my next trip to avoid changing at the airport upon my return.If i stay in Bangkok i change cash at Vasu exchange or Superrich which both have the best rates for cash http://www.vasuexchange.com/ http://www.superrich1965.com/ In Pattaya the F/Ex booths are the best for cash,they seem to be multiplying everywhere these past few years.For T/C's at the Bank exchange booths YMMV but here's a handy link http://bankexchangerates.daytodaydata.net/default.aspx

and we have a winner...Good Game Good Game Chaps...

I'm in RED DRAGONS
