I used Nam's taxi Friday. Night from swampy to Pattaya, and it wasn't just a pleasant drive. BUT not once did she use a mobile phone during the journey. Some discreet use in a taxi is understandable for the business ,however I've had previous drivers not only talking the whole journey but search and scanning for data as they fly along at 120 kph. So yes I will use Nam again Papadoc Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD When I was at home I was in a better place. Alas, we travellers must be content.

Thanks a million Kratos for your prompt reply. I'd like to give them a go again as always happy there. Except that last trip where I needed urgent communication so I shortened my trip. Currently trying for a booking. regards Papadoc

This has been my favourite spot for a few years. However, I checked out early last year as Wi Fi was hopeless. Anyone stayed here recently and can advise current efficiency of their Wi Fi Internet Would appreciate anyones responce to this. Papadoc

What are you doing to me EP! We are not supposed to make plans for Pattaya. However in the past, you have always done a couple of restaurant reviews which has lead me to seek out new (for me) treats. Since last november I have created the following list of 8 for this November. Thats just about every meal catered for, as your recommendations are generally that good, that I usually visit at least a couple of times each. Pakbungloyfah second RD close to second mikes store. The balcony restaurant Soi Bukhao Wok and Rock Soi Bukhao The greek Place Pattayanis off Soi Bukhao nr soi 21

La Cuisine au Beurre? It may be this place which is in the lanes behind/side of Tuk Com Near Le Petite Planet Both are very good for reasonable French Food Bon Appetite Papadoc

I recall Evil wrote a very good report about this place a few weeks ago...cos I put it on my list for November...

i agree

Thanks Evil.. I really do appreciate your revues and will be into them in November. when comme d'habitude, I will post many pictures of my meals Hope to see you around on a crawl. regards Papadoc

Hi Teelack. I had just receieved an email from Thai offering about AUD $830 return from Brisbane. So I checked from AKL and they want over NZD 1700 of your money (over AUD1500) Thats terrible. (i got a cheapie on Philippine airlines back in April for my November trip). I flew with China Southern once from Shanghai to Shenzhen, the flights OK but from Aus they go up via Guangzhou... (The old Canton) and back via Beijing) Too long a journey for me. good luck with your search.

Thanks Teelack.. I enjoyed that. Quite a Pommie flavour there! regards Papadoc PS Hope you be up there in November (30OCT - 20NOV)

Yes, he sure is. Responds to comments and does his best to fix problems saspo. There are pages and pages of favourable comments on other boards also. Not being a Walking St. fan I love staying in this region. Not only a very comfortable place but I love being in that area. Just so good to be close to LK Metro/ Dianne/ those great Sois with laundry, haircut, bars and restaurants between 2nd and 3rd Roads. It has a great atmosphere around there. I booked a couple of months ago for arrival 30 October for three weeks. You have to book early. I always have a couple of (good) meals in the

Thanks Teelack. Always good to clarify things. Now I know it's whatever I like to call it providing it sounds a bit like "back cow" regards

I got whisper of a cheeky Philippine Airlines special as they commence flights out of Brisbane in June. $575 return.. But couldn't book a seat on it as quote "Full up". So phoned Philippine airlines direct and booked myself to Manila and back. Then I said can I go on to Bangkok? Certainly but that would make the fare $667.98 ($180 air fare, the rest Taxes!!) So I'm off for 3 nights Angeles City (Haven't been there since 1983) on my way to Bangkok on 27 October. Full of happiness... At last I have something to dream about for a few months. Papadoc

Thanks eveil, am saving them up for next visit regards Papadoc PS good crackling also available in Aus!

I spoke too soon. It didn't work for me I'll keep watching this space. I have available "use full editor" on this page but not on my TR Papadoc
