I am arriving 2 hours late at 14.55

I think Bangkok Air uses smaller aircraft to/from U-Tapao ???

Mr T taxi only Bath 1,000 which also inc toll.

Nice hotel, but room has no balcony

Just returned from my holiday last week. Used Mr T's service both ways. Good car and good drivers and is cheaper than Mr Toom. Will use his service again December.

Very comprehensive review. Thanks

This seems to be a new hotel. Anyone info ? http://www.seaorchid.com/

Never been there, do they have a website ? what kind of food and drink? how many pieces band? any pics ?

The following news from Pattaya mail: http://www.pattayamail.com/current/news.shtml Fines begin for drivers using cell phones Theerarak Suthatiwong Starting from May 10, a hefty fine faces anyone caught using a cell phone while driving. Following a three-month period of publicizing the new traffic regulation, which had been enacted by the national government on February 8, police have now been instructed to prosecute anyone found using a cell phone while driving a vehicle. Pattaya Police Station superintendent Pol Col Nopadol Wongnom briefed officers this week that tickets must be handed out to anyone breaking the law, starting from May 10. Fines would range from 400 baht to 1,000 baht. The police chief said that anyone having to use a phone while driving should use hands-free equipment such as Small Talk or Bluetooth, in the interests of their own safety and the safety of other road users. Will the the taxi operators adhere to the rule to give us a safe drive ?

There is no difference between Mr T and Mr Toom in terms of service. Whether you get a good car with good driver, all depend on your luck on the day pf your arrival or departure. However, as Mr T's is cheaper I will give him the first choice. Actually if time permits I prefer the Bell Bus, it is more comfort I can always have good sleep for the 2 hours ride.

The super market at the shopping mall opens 24 hours. I think you should also be able to get back to Pattaya Bay Resort through the Mall 24 hours. I passed through the mall back to the hotel at about 2 am almost every night during my last trip.
