Yes, I dont know if its the same in Thailand as at home but if your card is swallowed at a random ATM the card is destroyed as the machines are serviced by contractors. This compares to using an ATM at a bank where they are stored for pick up.

Sorry but I am not very tech savvy and I realise that some of you guys out there are wizards and I wonder if I can get some advice. I have a laptop with some installed programmes but no discs. I would like to get rid of one to give me a bit more space and was wondering if its possible to place this on a DVD or an external hard drive? I would like to hang onto the programme for another day (or a new computer). As a matter of interest the programme is Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.

I am always of the opinion that its best to use an ATM at a branch outlet. At least if it gets swallowed there is some chance of getting it back.

I have also heard that this is the best eating in Pattaya and if your a seafoodie its the bargain of a lifetime.

Funny that but i really know nothing about authantic Mexican food but the Tequila Reef was not good enough to get me to eat there twice. I had better food in places that were just trying to be Mexican!

Suggest you leave immediately before you are seduced! Pattaya is a very dangerous place for the unwary!

So far, cross my fingers, I have never needed the services of a GP. Its more luck than good management as I have had some decent cuts. I was however wondering who was recommended in Pattaya and who wasnt. I do understand that a number of boardies have suggested that the hospitals are good. Are they suggesting that if you want to make a visit to a GP that you use A & E or whatever in Pattaya? I do see GP's advertising in some of the local rags and wonder if anyone has experience of them? I guess that I am concerned that if I loss, spoil or run out of prescription medicine that I wo

Thanks for the update. Strangely enough, they advertise quite expensive fares but the package I bought was a real bargain basement price.

Whilst MM gave a clear response to the question I dont think anyone on the board really needs to be "...working out the ground rules." Most people seem clear on this, and almost any other forum, and just what is expected of them.

Thanks. I misread the time table and only have an hour or so. No problems.

Just a suggestion Nev but I wonder if it might help if when members are due in town that they pre order a membership card on your web site. It seems an ongoing problem for people to see how they introduce themselves to the place and this, or some variant of it might be the answer.

Just as a matter of interest (and I wonder if there is a tie up) but there is only one place in Pattaya that I have been excluded from. This is the one half way up the staires to the X Zone, The Irany. I had been into the old place when it was opposite but was turned away twice for "Not bein Alab". Go figure who are the racists.

I suggest that you try Eden Masage in Soi Diane or in Pattaya Klang. These ladies do massage, not sex (its not impossible but...) and they will do as you ask and where you need. They are cheap, cheery and good at what they say they do and thats massage. Most of the ladies are older and married but if its a massage that you look for, look no further.

:llaugh :llaugh

1000 B at this time of year for a decent place is not a starter, The best deal that I know is the Sabai Inn standard room and this is a good hotel, good pools but no breakfast and better to pay an extra 200 and move up to a better room.

Interesting!!!!!!!!!!! Malware tells me that the site is blocked as being potentialy hazardous.

I usually use MR T but decided to give Go a try and I could not fault them.

Are there any people in Pattaya at the moment that have an update on the area? It was a bomb site in September where the old places were being toppled at the top end and I was wondering if any new construction had yet started?

Thanks Glyn. I have been waiting for someone to state all of that in 2 sentences for seemingly years. One other point please, other than ATM fees (what are they please) are there any other fees loaded onto the account over the year?

How long did you have to wait for the ATM card and the account being active?

I have the opportunity to fly to and from Europe using Swiss Air however there seems very little written about them. I realise that there is a reasonable break with the above flight but I can handle that. I would however be interested in hearing back about what people thoughts are about this Company, planes, seats, meals, drinks etc as I know nothing about it as it does not fly from my home country.

Nothing at all wrong with this idea and I did used to use it but then thought that I would rather visit BK from Patts rather than stay there. For me the issue is the night life. I really cannot say that the big three, Nana, Patpong or Cowboy are as good as I can get in Pattaya and they are more expensive. In addition to this they are well spread out and travelling about in trains at night is not everyones cup of chai. The other issue about the great cultural places in BK as well as say Chatachak. To be honest, once was enough for me but then its always up to you--this is Thailand!

A point here. Its only 90 minutes or so from airport to your Pattaya Room-if that and that is really only 50/60 more with compared with going to Bangkok. I usually get in the back and as I cannot sleep on planes I get a nap in the cab and then I am ready to roar when I get to Patts. I spend longer travelling than you and its just no issue.

LOL........this is of interest????????? You little scholar you! :llaugh Annyira nem régóta csak a seafood nem az én világom, kivéve a halakat ! Még 1 hetet leszek itt szerintem, azt már valahogy kibirom egy jó pöri nélkül :) Te mi kint élsz ? Mivel foglalkozol ? Sajna nem lehet PM-t küldeni neked.... jaja, szeptembertől nagyjából itt, de már 11 éve járok ide... hátte ?

This must be the oldest thread on this board about a totally meaningless subject to the vast amount of the readers. Well done for breaking a record!
