Probably firday is the day of drinking fire water At least I use fire water every day and more in LOS than at home.

Warm, Dry Season : (November to February) - Short sharp showers (known as Mango rains). Humidity around 50% Temperature from 20-30 C. The best time to enjoy the nice weather. Recommend your prospective visitors to come in this season. Hot, Dry Season : (February to May) - Occasional rain. Humidity around 75%. Temperature from 30-40 C. Watch the spectacular thunder storms from a safe place, not the golf course! Warm, Wet (Monsoon) Season : (June to October) - Heavy prolonged rain. Humidity approximately 90%. Temperature from 25-35 C. The monsoon season need not keep you in, an umbrella is more useful than rainwear. Source

A taxi with meter from departures is around 900 baht + 145 baht for tollroads.

In general the hotel prices are lower now, but thais outside the hotel business at least have a tendency to increase prices if the demand is lower, that way trying to make the same money from fewer customers.

Why not take a trip to PP or Angkor Wat instead of a normal visa run?

My opinion too but Stickman recommends the book so maybe not so bad after all.

In Europe you just can get 2-3 % if no risk included - how much tax on the 12 % in the US?

Thais pay 3 months as deposit on a 12 months lease contract, a 3 months contract 1 month rent as deposit.

I think Heineken is 5 % or more in Thailand. Singha tried to introduce a light beer - Singha Gold - but it's out already.

I prefer Chang, it's a copy of the former partner Carlsberg danish elefant beer. The danish version is IMO smelling vodka but the thai copy doesn't. It's possible to buy Chang in Europe but it's a license brew made in Germany and just 5.0 % instead of the thai 6.5. So in Europe I drink Singha but almost never in LOS.

There are some bahtbuses driving on Soi 2. Central Pattaya Rd is Pattaya Klang, do you mean North Pattaya Rd?

BG, why don't you post in the "Technical problems or questions" forum?

Picoman, that link Adam can't follow as he's not let in - just "Registered" not "Member". Adam, your post has been moved inside by admin as this forum is part of the "Open to Everyone Forum. (No bar or bargirl discussion here please)"

Metro Apartments are OK for that price, but sooner 15-20 min walking instead of 5. Map

WW, why do you want to stay 32 days? Do you have a tourist visa for 2/3 months? Else you must do a visa-run or pay the overstay fines.

Mahan Air is an airline from Iran!

Australia has never been one of the best soccer nations so that outcome (2-2 against Croatia) was expected. And of course has no chance against Italy. England hasn't won over Sweden for 38 years (last time 1968). Sweden is good but will lose against Germany (last time Sweden won over Germany was 1958). And World Cup is not over - it just started after eliminating some not so good nations........
