Yes its 350 Baht But you cannot book you can only go if there are spare seats Guests staying at Dynasty hotels in Pattaya have priority You have to check with reception 30 minutes before departure time (11am) Cheers Tilacno1

I just got back a week ago after a 6 day stay at the Lek I found the staff unfriendly but not unpleasant didn't see any smiles from them I also stayed in the new wing our room was OK quite new but it was spoiled by the bed linen and towels they were very old and worn and threadbare Also you had to put towels in the bath if you wanted fresh ones There was also a sign you could put on the bed if you didn't want the bed changed First time i have seen this in Thailand Breakfast buffet had a very wide range of food both western and Thai but food only so so excellent value though at 95 bah

Jambo please change your name Your obviously a saccanach and and Arsenal supporter NOT a JAM TART

Have to agree with Ting Tong on this The Bay Breeze just around the corner is so much better for the same price as the Apex Worn carpets but rooms are nice and great friendly staff and management No joiner fee take as many BG as you want Last time I Had a Junior suite at 800 baht lovely big room Great coffee shop on ground floor Cheers Tilacno1

I live and work in Abu Dhabi (although I'm Scottish) Last month I decided to try Etihad as they have 3 flights a week from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok I usually fly Thai or Emirates from Dubai I was very dissappointed They advertise as a the new National carrier of the U.A.E and set new standards of air travel Bullshit Very drab uniforms Black and dark grey Surly hostesses (mainly Australians ) Had video screens in seat backs but system not switched on Coming back here from Bangkok flight left Bangkok at about 09.30 Came round with breakfast about an hour after takeoff The Auss

Agree with Pieman no need for anything Unless your going upcountry to malaria infested areas Been going for 15 years and after the first couple of trips never take anything But if your going whoremongering then Hepatitis B vaccine is recommended Cheers Tilacno1

Whats glasses got to do with Soi 13 hotels ? Wrong thread methinks Cheers Tilacno1

Thanks for the update Roland Stayed at the Dynasty Inn Soi 13 last time in February this year cos of the free ride from the Dynasty Bangkok I enjoyed it as its new and the staff were great like in Bangkok It was quiet then and had been thinking of staying again at the end of July but looks like I will have to give Soi 13 a miss this time Pity as I love the location-used to stay at the AA Residence before the Dynasty Is it affected by noise too ? Cheers Tilacono1

Carcareers Are you sure you're talking about the Diana Inn The Diana Inn is on 2nd road across from Mikes Department Store right next to the Apex on the baht bus route Only 1 pool last time I stayed there about 18 months ago and no security guards that I have seen never heard of any suites there either ?? I used to always stay there from about 1996-1999 it was great value then but moved on as it was going downhill I tried it again about 18 months ago when I had a problem at the Areca Lodge It was pretty crap Rooms worn pool dirty staff not so friendly as before Much better hotels no

Hi Guys I work and live in Abu Dhabi although I'm from Scotland Etihad Airways is the new national airline of the UAE They are based in Abu Dhabi My Thai wife flew back to Bangkok on Etihad last week She said the flight was really great good food good service new plane with TV screens in the seats They are trying to compete with Emirates Would recommend especially just now as they are doing offers to attract customers as thay have only been operating about 3 months Cheers Tilacno1

Dynasty Inn Right next to NEP Great staff good rooms Some people say they are a bit dark but personally I like them very clean Ask for room in the back building newer and better 990 baht per night After many years of staying at the Nana I would recommend it very much Very girl friendly take as many as you like no problems Cheers Tilacno1

Hi Etihad Airways are a brand new airline based in Abu Dhabi where i am currently working ( I'm from Scotland BTW ) They are the new national carrier of the UAE. They have only been operating for about 3 months and I believe have brand new planes I dont know anyone who has used them yet so can't comment on service They have been offering great deals Abu Dhabi - LHR and also Abu Dhabi -Bangkok so I thought they would have good deals LHR- Bangkok The flight will have a stop in Abu Dhabi but the airport here is nice very compact with a great duty free and there is a bar if your thirsty

Yes the Nana hotel charges half rate till 8pm but if you check out after 8pm they charge full daily rate I once fell asleep after too much sanuk and they phoned me at 9 pm and I had to pay full daily rate Cheers Tilacno1

Hi Zeus I was there in March 2004 They had changed the shuttle time to 11.00am But as you say check when you book it Cheers Tilacno1

Used it recently 11 am Bus for Dynasty Resort Pattaya used to leave at 12.30 Cheers Tilacno1

Hi I also stayed at the DI Pattaya Soi 13 for 4 nights about 2 weeks ago We stayed at the Dynasty Inn Bangkok for 1 night then took the free minibus to Pattaya I found the DI Pattaya was really nice everything is new rooms a bit on the small size similar to rooms at the Dynasty Bangkok but with a balcony Beautiful foyer The staff are very friendly just like the ones in Bangkok I love the location at Soi 13 I have stayed at the at the AA Residence a couple of times and that was good also I have also stayed at the Dynasty Resort Pattaya but although very nice just a bit far out for me Soi

Hi Chico We arrive lunchtime Thursday 19th Feb so maybe I can buy you that beer Staying Thursday/Friday then off to Buriram to spend time with the family [smiley=angel.gif] BTW my wife asked about the bathroom does it have a bath or just a shower She likes to soak in the bath ::) Cheers [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=beer.gif] Tilacno1

Thanks Chico Have booked the Woraburi Near enough to NEP or Annies if I get the chance What dates are you there ? If at the same time have a beer on me Cheers Tilacno1

Thanks Rabbitoh Honey Hotel was on my list of possibles I stayed there once years ago and wasn't bad Far enough away from the scene but still near enough escpecially Soi Cowboy ::) Cheers Tilacno1

Thanks for the link Yujin I checked the Woraburi website looks good but there were mixed reviews about this hotel Also the prices on the website are much higher than in the hotel reviews but might give it a try Thanks Vox The Royal Benja I think is a bit more expensive but good location for NEP and Soi 7 Cheers Tilacno1

Thanks guys I was meaning around 1000 baht range Have considered both from the hotel reviews but are they family type hotels? Remember my wifes brother and wife are Thai from Buriram and my wifes son is only 13 yrs old Thanks anyway Any other suggestions would be most welcome as previously I was always on my own and always stayed at the Nana or Dynasty Cheers Tilacno1

Hi Does anyone know of a reasonably cheap family hotel in the Sukhumvit area of Bangkok ? I will be arriving back with my Thai wife soon for a holiday in LOS Her brother and his wife are driving down from Buriram to Bangkok with my wife's son, to join us for 3 days in Bangkok, then driving us all back to Buriram We need a reasonably cheap family type hotel Nana etc would not be really suitable ;D But I would prefer to be near Sukhumvit in case I can slip away for some sanuk Anyway guys any help would be much appreciated Thanks Tilacno1

Songkran in Pattaya is hell avoid like the plague Filthy water in your eyes nose ears mouth and drenched for 6 days Last time 2 years ago I ended up with a bad chest infection never again Its not my idea of fun Tilacno1

Crackpot its printed on the ticket No need to reconfirm Never did like Unit 4+ 2 or Concrete and Clay Crap English one hit wonder band Cheers Tilacno1 Scottish and proud of it

"THAI no longer requires that you reconfirm your flight but please contact THAI to cancel your reservation if your travel plans change. Many airlines still require reconfirmation. If your journey includes a portion on another airline you may have to reconfirm onward journeys at least 72 hours before departure." I recently flew to LOS on Thai Airways The above paragraph is now printed on the inside of the cover page of the ticket I didn't reconfirm with no problems So you're wrong Crackpot Tilacno1
