I have to say that the Canterbury Tales looks fine and as I eat breakfast there and bought and exchanged three books it is a place that I know and think is in a great position. As a total change however I chose to stay at the Sabai Inn and for a superior room at 855 baht a night this was IMHO a good buy.

Hi there Mark. It was good to meet up with you and thanks for the drink. Took a call and had to go but things looked good there.

Sorry guys but I still have no info on the soi 2 Inn but I can tell you that all the scaffolding came down this morning. There are also a shop and a massage place opened in the foyer area.

I have been trying to find more info on this place and will post it if I find it. Each day seems to see more and more progress on the place and it looks well advanced.

Thanks for the food and party. It was appreciated and best of luck for the future.

Thanks for all the good advice and info chaps. As a matter of interest I decided in the end to stay at the Sabai Inn and this has turned out to be quite a good choice. They are building a new hotel on the beach Road side but as I am on the other there is zero noise. The internet rates as shown on their web site are just a current as a walk in at reception.

Plane arrived early and got there for 11.30 and the place was a riot. Said hi to Ricky, had a couple and then bugggered off to bed!

I was in there last week Pete and I sure thought that you had got things right. Compared to a hell of a lot of places the PBG had a larger crowd than the last time I was in Patts last year. Well done for the innovation.

Due to plane arrival time cannot make it till midnight so please save a sandwich for me.

Yes but it was not listed in this section which is specifically for bar owners and operators and other business trying to get our attention.

At the time of writing only Babydolls had bothered to list their curfew hours and I would have thought that this was the place to do it.

Dont Thai logic piss you off, however this is still a legitimate question. Its bizzare that whilst Bangkok burns the baht stays as strong as ever and vacationers have to endure no insurance as well as stable pricing. Wheres the justice!

Thanks Steve. I have read that this is a class place and it will be on my list to visit, should I get there. As the danger level is now Extreme on the government web site its all a bit up in the air.

They do tell me Steve that there are large banners up at the Sabai complex and I also note that Sabai in are charging just over 700 b per night without breakfast. This seems a good deal for places that appear to be clean tidy and well positioned.

Just wondered if there was any panic pricing appearing in Patts at the moment? Whilst the baht is still strong I am happy to take any advantage I can on the food and accommodation front.

Thanks everyone for the responses to my query. As a matter of interest has anyone been to the reception and asked for a tour of the rooms before booking in and if so what sort of response did they get. One other point is that I note the Sabai Inn for as low as 720 per night without breakfast. I also note that the Empress is 1250 Is it possible to get these rates by calling or are they cheaper if you use the internet? By the way, can any guest use any of the pools?

Hi there Paully. Here is what a Tripadvisor writer had to say. Stayed at the Summer Spring Hotel several times, never a complaint from my side, staff are ok, but dont challenge them for something from the obvious - checkin/out. The rooms are spacious, new/clean, and a great value. located only 50 paces from the beach on Soi 1 makes for a great place to launch for the beach or all night parties down the strip. Then when you make it back to your room with new found friends, there is no issue from the staff to continue your activities in the privacy of your room. No added/hidden charges/fees. Then the next day with that hangover you can sip drinks at the roof top pool/bar with a great view of the Pattaya bay. I have recommended to many friends and they too have recommended to their friends. Hopefully this 'first review" brings others the same opinion.

I have decided that the next time in town I will have a look around and book at the time. Having said that I looked on some of the internet sites today that give you "Last minute" rates and there was some great bargains right now so what it will be like in June I hate to think. Can I suggest that boardies looking for a bargain check out these sites and share any super deals with us. For me Asia Rooms had the best deals.

The last two thread on this subject advise that they do charge 500B joiner fee but who knows as this might have changed. Suggest that you email them and get it in writing.

Hate to tell you Mr Pastry but you wouldd be struck down dead! Do not take the Lords name in vain!

The question was best location and for me its a toss up between Soi Dianne and Soi 8. I have ususlly stayed in Soi 8 but I have to agree that the LK area is good with only one down side and that there is no supermarket within easy walking distance.

Thanks for the comments. There still seems a lot that is unsaid about this place but perhaps Big D has hit the nail on the head when he says that all he has met was P for P.

Asked one of the bar managers at the Nana Plaza about the Rajah. Dont go there was his response but personally I have not stayed there.

I am off on a side trip to Laos later this year and look for adviice for accommodation in Luang Prebang and Vientiane. I am a 1000 baht sort of traveller and wonder what members could suggest please? Whilst I have looked at a number of travel sites I believe that one reccommendation is worth a 100 dodgy reviews.
