Havana Cigars at Tips Plaza on 2nd road is a very nice albeit small cigar shop offerring a small range of very good cigars at reasonalbe prices. Worth a stop.

Mike, What kind of discount does SS give for a month? Chees,

The last two message on the above have gotten off track....so for those interested. There is construction durring the day but the only hotels that would be affect are Ma Masion for sure and possibley the Dynasty noted by another poster..cant confirm but from the outside seems reasonable. The Sandy Springs is a great hotel clean, huge rooms, and decent ocean views from the deluxe seaside view rooms. The Inn is clean with smaller rooms but also cheaper. You can get a two room suite for 50bhat/day more than the deluxe room at the SS. If you are renting by the day or week then the ro

Jimmy I wasnt the one to bring up sheets, politics, nor have I been the aggressive one on this thread...suggest you get here quick so you can relax and soil some sheets. Best regards,

Bigmike, No problem. I didnt know about the linen, water, or electric situation and depending what they charge could be a big difference, no way to know if they were ripping you off or not I just didnt like you flipping me the bird for saying that the Inn was the only alternative in the area to your favorite the SS....a bit over the top mate. PS I think I now understand why the SS is your favorite. They have CNN on their cable.....you must have your remote preset to that thinly veiled liberal platform that they call NEWS.....LOL!

Bigmike, Whats with the attitude?????? I checked out every hotel on Soi 13 and 12 and none compared to the SS or the Inn house from my point of view. Some at much higher prices. Have you been in one of the suites at the Inn on the 8th floor? Yes they are not as big as the SS suites, but they certainly are not small. In fact when you consider both rooms they are larger than the SS single rooms, and two rooms are a plus. Many of the board's members reccomend the the Lek and the Dynasty both of which are not even close to either the SS or the Inn. I am certainly not an expert

Am staying at the Sandy Springs now, and while the noise on the street can be loud at times, I have never heard a thing inside my room.

Am staying at the Sandy Springs now and there are two condo projects going on nearby, so there is street noise durring the day but have never heard any inside the room. If you stay here you deffinately want a deluxe room that have a partial sea view, large, newer compared to all that I checked out near here and very clean. The only other option(in this area) to check out it the Inn House. You can get a suite for a little less than the deluxe at the SS, the only draw back for me was that the TV was in lounge room and they didnt have one in the bedroom, if that doesnt bother you its a b

I just relaized that my ISP ATT doesnt have a number in Thailand and am leaving tomorrow AM!!! I have seen the posts that no broadband available, but it there a why to get a short term account with a ISP in any hotel in Pattaya other than the MAriot??? Thanks,

Arriving BKK at 20:30 for ten days. Will take a cab to Pattaya Wouuld be interested in buying a beer or two for any Pattaya regular who can give me the lay of the land....pardon the punn! Either late Wed night or anytime on Thurs. Thanks, Jeff

Are there any tobaco shop in Pattaya where you can get good Cigars? If so are the prices reasonable or ridiculous?

Will be going to Pattaya next for the first time. This may seem like a silly question but I am on and off with my gotee. Currently its on, but have no problem shaving it off. How do TG's feel about men with facial hari?

What s the best way to get to Pattaya from the BKK airport especially when arriving late at night? thanks, Jeff

Will be going to Pataya for first time in a month. Would prefer ocean view or nice surroundings, close to town or no hassle to get there, and no hassle for guests. Would like to be in the 1500-2000 bhat range.
