Displayed prices are for multiple nights. Check the site for price per night. I see hostels starting at 200b/day and hotels from 500b/day on agoda.

  1. Remember the yellow shirts shutting down Suvarnabhumi airport in 2008.
    Yes I do but my wording was precise. As far as I am aware the rioters never got into the security areas. I was aware that someone would bring this up but rioting on the street is not the same as transfer issues which is what the OP asked about.

  2. As far as I can tell airports appear to be almost like an embassy in that they have a life of their own. The perimeter and security is very tight and while a country can be in turmoil, the airports just keep on going.

    I stand corrected but I have seen zero travel advisories or warnings concerning any airports in Asia. Maybe I have been lucky but I have never seen political unrest in a country move into either the Arrival or Departure halls.

    My advice. Get on the plane and put it out of your mind.

  3. Many thanks for the update. Always good to hear about a ho hum gogo bar closing the doors with the hope that it's replaced by something better!

    Strange to hear that a customer who died in a fish restaurant. It's usually about two hours after the meal before I spew and have to spend an hour on the toilet.

  4. Keep them coming. Always appreciated.

    As a matter of interest I know where Fever is (Opposite Exotic Bar) in Soi LK but is TopGun the old Pulse club?

    While your at it did either Champagne or Bachelors reopen in LK or is it 2 closed and 2 opened ?

  5. Thanks [mention=1216]monkeyman[/mention] for another installment of Monkeywatch.
    Don't understand why someone would give your lighthearted look at the state of Pattaya a red arrow. Hopefully it's just a case of color blindness and they meant to click on the green one.
    Agree. In fact I gave you a tick for bringing it up.

    It's strange really. For many years this guy has been bringing us news, views and great entertainment and yet somebody thinks that it's wasting our time and rewarding him accordingly.

    Nowt so strange as folk!

  6. I have been looking at alternative booking sites. I am not sure what the situation is in other countries but in NZ travel agents apparently get no commission for air travel and surcharge for their "expertise _.

     

    There are so many sites like Expedia, Kayak and so forth. My question is are there good, bad, dubious outfits that you would recommend or totally avoid?

     

    I would appreciate your feedback.

  7. AH Teelack i forgot about Marijuana. I smoke and sold in college but now find it noxious. Cigarette smoke is well regulated.   Point taken.
    Yeah and some prick started on a cigar. Now many people say that the like cigar smoke. Ok but not the general shite smoked here.
    I also would draw attention to vaping. Some smells are horrible. Some smokers don't just take a drag but blow out an endless cloud of smoke. It's the change of scenery added to the fact that right now Pattaya is as quiet as I have seen it. Imagine high season!

  8. Teelack, I'm a former 3 pack a day but not an Evangelist when it comes to smokers next to me. I have to deal with it to catch the bird on the pole and i do. I won't consider spending money in restaurant that allows smoking and wasn't aware they still existed.  America went from smoking in hospitals, grocery stores and restaurants to nowhere, not even on the outside grounds and this happened quickly.  Though i will agree or perhaps disagree, no matter the aircon or separation if you stay for 2 drinks your clothes reek of smoke. Keep letting them know why you leave Teelack. Im an activist against the loud so called music and will not deal with that.  I'm to old for smoking to kill me but i fear being deaf.  Get off my Lawn!
    Bill. The point I was making is the proliferation of smoke. The air is thick with vapes, Marijuana and cigarettes. It can only get worse.

    I not a non smoking Nazi by the way. Friends and family smokers figure importantly in my life. I am against inconsiderate people.

  9. Of the GC's I know Club Fate and M Club are non-smoking.
    [mention=5439]teelack[/mention], since we've already started to list the non-smoking places in this topic, suggest asking the mods to change the topic title to something along the lines of Non-Smoking Bars and Clubs.
    Not requesting, just suggesting.

  10. Can I suggest the following. The scams that I am aware of happen when you get there. The drivers attempt to steer you in a direction that you dont want to go. 

    For this reason and to answer your question the simple answer is to Google a half dozen local taxi firms, compare the pricing and order ahead. Its not totally foolproof as this wont stop the driver asking you to change your accommodation to a "Much better hotel". Just dont let a taxi driver piss you about and all will be well. 

    PS. I would give the same advice to anyone going to Bangkok or any other place.
