So true. So true.

Something to cheese you off!

Now this is clever.

As far as I am concerned, I think that the word to use with accommodation pricing is " Dynamic". I occasionally take off and travel without booking accommodation. Turning up late in the day, during holidays when there are fewer business travelers, or simply asking for a deal bypassing agents and going direct, can change the pricing. I am also aware in Pattaya of deals offered in-house that don't get to the agencies. I think that it's reasonable to suggest that the large Chinese groups are staying away from Thailand at the moment and places that normally had a full house must be gasping for business. Bottom line is that I have found that getting on the phone can get me a deal that the agents can't beat. I have only had one set-to with a Pattaya hotel owner (Falang) who got really shitty when I suggested that he undercut the Agoda price.

Well done Adam. Always good to pop in and say hello. Sorry I can't be there but I am sure that it will be a sellout.

What a very handy thing to have in Pattaya nightclubs unless of course that was the cause of your deafness! 😁

Hi there Kev. Can I suggest that rather than a single name that you look at Soi Ten in total. There are a number of good hotels there (Page Ten etc.) and it's between the beach and Second Road so handy for your preferred location. There are a heap of bars and restaurants in the area but the soi itself is quite quiet. It's a few minutes from Central Plaza if you want shopping.

Mainly for the Brits but very clever.

I just wish that this was funny!

I am sure that this will bring back happy memories for some.

I am not sure how relevant this topic is. You can be almost 100% sure that prices will be dropping if you book or enquire for sometime in 2027. As far as I can see from my part of the globe there are no serious reductions within the next two or three months. In addition to this, I realise that I am not the only person who needs to book a feeder flight from a regional airport, to their main international airport. So many of these flights have been cancelled and consolidated over the past three months (As are a number of international flights) and the prices increased substantially. The reality is that there will always be specials, but overall prices will stay elevated for as long as the waffling is going on in the Middle East. It will take months for oil reserves to be replaced and prices and supplies to get back to some sort of normality, if they ever do. As a result of all of this I am expecting to pay at least 30% more that earlier this year if I chose to fly again in 2026.

This one blew my socks off!

Ah! The joys of getting old.
