1. I just called JetAsia, they told me their flight schedule to Pattaya only up to 28 February 05. You have to wait for the update of the schedule. As to when you will see the schedule after 28 Feb, they could not confirm. If your dep and return date is before 28 Feb then you should not have any problem. 2. If you arrive in Singapore after midnight, there will be a taxi surcharge, from the airport to the city it may cost you more than USD20 and I don't think there is ferry to Batam that late hour. Suggest that you stay in Singapore for 1 or 2 days then go straight to Pattaya or Bangkok as there is nothing much in Batam and the place is not too safe for foreigners, that is my personal view. 3. From Singapore the cheapast way to fly to Bangkok is via Tiger Air, they have 4 or 5 flights every day and they use new AirBus. Other budget airlines except AirAsia, ValueAiir also uses new AirBus a r/t flight is about USD60-70 (excludes airport tax). Look out for promotion fare, sometime you can get fare as cheap as USD20 r/t. For your info, I am flying to Bangkok again by Tiger Air nest month at this fare. From Singapore only JetAsia flies direct to Pattaya. 4. I dont think there is Trevelocity for this cheap flights. Let me know if you require further assistance

From what the manager's reply I do not want to take the risk of having to pay fee even though I booked for a double room as they may say addtional guest also has to pay such fee even for a short time in the room as I have experienced this in other hotel. I took in a girl and paid 500 B for an hour massage in my room. To be on the safe side I think I will have to book a room at Sandy Beach or Dynasty Inn and then take a bath bus to Woodland to confirm this. I will be in Bangkok on 12 March, not sure whether I have some time in Pattaya. Thanks for info, you are right that Asiaroom and Precision rates are better than directly booking Let me know if you need any help. Cheers

I want to buy 4 return economic tickets form Bangkok to London or Amsterdam in late June or early July 05. Can anyone let me know what is the cheapest airfare for the above periods? As we will be there for only 2 to 3 weeks we only need a one month ticket. Thank you very much

Tiger Air uses brand new AirBus. The booking can also be done through their call centre. You can call their call centre in Singapore or Bangkok. The service is very excellent, I used their service twice recently. Confirmation throug emial is almost instant after payment by card. Not sure whether for promotion ticket you have to call their call centre directly for the booking. Please call them if you encounter any problem. You will enjoy talking to them, this is my experience! You may also wish to check with JetAsia which flies directl from Singapore to Pattaya which is aslo cheap compared to other Thail domestic flights. (see www.jetstaraisa.com) Please let me know if you require any assistance for booking of Tiger Air.

Stayed there twice. Last stay was Dec 04. Nice and clean, quite new. Very good location, next to Mike Shopping Centre and 5 minutes walk to Royal Garden ( Marriot Hotel) and the beach. It has a very nice and clean 24 hours coffee house and Internet. There was a small swimming pool on the 7 floor. They provide free transport (One way) from Dynasty Inn Bangkok straight to this hotel if you book Dynasty Inn, Pattaya at least two days. The mini van usually leave Dynasty BKK 11 am so you can reach Pattaya about 1 1/2 hour. Quiote fast and convenient.

Room quite clean and the bed is quite ok. However, don' stay on the first floor and near the lift as it is very noisy when the worker doing the cleaning downstair. Ask for extra towel as the bath room always flooded with water when bathing beacuse of poor workmanship, not sure whether they have rectified it. Another alternative is Dynasty Inn which is next to Sandy and is sllighly cheaper. If you book two days or more, they will provide free transport from Dynasty Inn, Bangkok to this hotel. The mini van usually leave Dynasty In Bangkok at 11 am and go straight to this hotel, it is very fast and convenient. (It usauuly take about 1 1/2 ). FYI I was very lucky to have the whole van (quite new) with my GF during my first trip to this hotel. You can also book through www.scandibar. com for these two hotel as it is cheaper and you can have a free bear every day during your stay. Good Luck
