If you mean she is asking for 25k US Dollars, then the answer will be.

Totally agree Nico. If you listen to the currency experts on say Bloomberg, one will say they are bullish about the £ and 15 minutes later another will forecast the opposite. If anyone knew for sure, they would not need to work. Everyone has a different opinion on where the baht is headed. Mine is that it has risen sharply because the Thai government keeps raising interest rates to try and curb inflation. Once this stops, I predict it will weaken and we will see 75 to the £ again. I hope.

I always recommend this hotel, having stayed there a couple of years ago. A friend of mine took my advise and atayed there for a week a month ago. He had no complaints at all, but while visiting him, I noticed some building work going on at the back of the swimming pool. I'm not sure I would want to stay there for the next few months.

Cancel your reservation, its a shithole. I went there on my first trip to Pattaya 5 years ago. First night I took a gogo girl back and was told I would have to pay 500 baht guest fee. As I was paying the same rate for a single room as a double room, I informed them that I would be checking out in the morning. Also, it is too far from everywhere and you need to take taxi's to and from.

Bullshit, 1700 for a superior room.

There is a small place on soi Buakhao opposite soi honey called Taste of India. It hardly ever gets any customers which is usually a bad sign. However, the chicken curry (70 baht) is very nice and the chapatis (10 baht each) are as good as I've tasted anywhere. I tried Neeroys once and thought it was crap, but maybe it was an off day.

I may as well talk to a brick wall. :frustrated

No it wasn't. I have just listened to both songs, as I have the CD. On Dragostea Din Tei, they sing numa yeah, but on Despre tine, its la lu la la yeah. :frustrated

It is Dragostea Din Tei, but the bands name is O-Zone.

The Flippers are guest friendly. Refuse to pay extra.

For 7-10,000 baht a month you will get a decent studio condo with aircon. You will have to pay electric and water in addition. My electric bill is about 1,000 and water 300. There are many places on soi Buachao such as Diana estate,Sutus court,VM terrace etc. These places all have swimming pools and restuarants. If you dont need a pool, check out soi Metro which have lots of new built guest houses. There was a good review on here about Lilo Lils.

Lad, Without telling us how much you have, or want to spend it is difficult for anyone to offer advice. If you want to spend 5-10,000 baht a month I would suggest soi Buachao area.

Raven, I am currently spending about 50,000 a month. I have a wife and kid to support, but go out drinking 3 times a week. We eat out almost every day. If I lived alone, I could live on 20,000 but not sure I would be happy with that lifestyle. Internet only costs 30 baht an hour in soi Buakhao area, but can be as much as 120 down on beach road.

Wake up Doorman, it was last weekend.
