My suggestion with the Grand would be to wait till you get there, inspect the rooms on offer and negotiate there and then. The rooms can be hell on earth and if they are being re furbished then thats fine. If not avoid like the plague.

As far as I know there is but as its jammed between soi 8 and the new shopping centre I decided not to even bother looking at it last time there. I liked the location but I think that its now a poor one because of the new centre.

Adam as you know I would have loved to have been there. Whatever, thanks for times past and I hope you have a great night.

Happy for you Adam but we had some good times there! Best wishes to the ladies that ran the place so well for you.

I have thought about this place but A its next to the new mall and there is a shit load of construction and B, seems that they charge a joiners fee.

For me, and I have used a few outfits, Sawadee seems to have the best prices.

You do not have to pay 2000B for a perfectly good hotel. Suggest you look at Soi 7 and 8. Google the Eastiny group and the Sunshine. These run from approx 1000B and there are some good specials at the moment.

Mmmmmmmmmmm. Have just added you to the list for next trip. All looks and sounds good.

Thanks Steve. Interesting point. I rarely make it down anyway. Bt the way how was the Mecure? It seems to have some good deals at the moment.

These pixes really bought it all back.Whilst I missed this one I really looking forward to another of those parties real soon.

I have stayed here before and enjoyed the proximity to all the action. I am in the process of booking again and have a question. The room price varies if you book for one or book for two persons. The point is that having booked for one is there a joiner fee? I have never heard from anyone ever paying a joiner fee at the Sunshine but then again I am unsure if the bookings I have made in the past were for one person or two. As a matter of interest the difference in rate was 150 baht per night.

I suggest that you get membered up on the Phuket web site similar to this one. I did first time there and it was invaluable. Sorry I cant recall the mname but I am sure that Google can take tyou there.

........and who said that Babydolls didnt have class!

Was there last year in November and there was no shortage of rooms. Its really not an issue.

Thanks to both of you. Yes, there does seem like a fair amount of places at say 1000B and I was wondering if it was worth spending a bit more but I think that you have made my mind up for me.

The USP at the Cherry Bar is Adam. He really is unique and when I was over spent one night it was so simple to make an arrangement with him. He is a good guy and another USP is that most of his girls believe that he is an ace guy and many have been there as long as he has. OK, maybe you feel different but when a bar owner treats me as a total individual he has my vote. The funny thing about this whole thred is that rather than be positive it has become negative because there seems no special reason to go there whereas there are special reasons to visit some of th places that I have mentioned and where I have spent tens of thousands of baht over the years.

Hi is it safe to book the Areca. There was a lot of construction going on over the last year.

I really like to support the members and sponsors on this board. I believe that they really understand what we come to Patts for however I also agree with the above BM. There is certainly a "USP" to be had (IMHO) at the Cherry, FLB etc and I support them. If I have no reason to go other than because a place is owned by a BM then I really can't be bothered. I am not being obtuse. I realise that there is a limit to what you can spell out but business is business.

Thanks to all of you. This has once again shown me what a great resource this board is. I have appreciated the comments and as I propose only to be in S for 3 nights, Geylang is is.

I will be in Singapore for a few days later this year and wonder if anyone has stayed in any of the Fragrance Hotels. OK, they are in the Red Light area and are budget priced but there are a lot of them. Any thoughts on these or other hotel in the City please?

This thing about what you can advertise etc. If I recall correctly Dream Teen Massage used to advertise on their web pages Ball Massage as an optional extra. I think that a lot of people would feel that there is a bit of sex included in this advert.

Without a doubt the most central hotel in Patong is the Baan Thai. Its right in Bangla Road opposite the Tiger Disco. Issue is that there is a 1000B joiner fee.

There are a lot of businesses that make a living from the vast number of NGO and Charity workers in the country. I have to say that the food in some of these places was fine and on two visits the stomach behaved itself and I am not an expensive eater and try the local curries etc.

WOW! Adam that did bring it all back to me and I see a few newbies, ladies that is, so I will start the count down to my next trip.

I just got this response from Sawadee .com re the upgrade. Renovation and refurbishment (room by room) will take place from Apr. - Jul.,2009
