That was Scobies pizza I believe and they have moved and still deliver. Good pizza

Just a couple hundred metres up the road on Soi 9 ( by the 7-11) on Thappraya Road trhere is a place - mThe Whispering Palms. Very nice about 15,000 on a monthly basis and similar location. Also 1 block form the Jade House afternoon delights.

Just in contact with a new suite hotel - Merisses Suites of Soi 16 in BKK - runs off Asoke on the Soi 18 side, next to Foodland. Got a quote for 1700 baht net for a deluxe suite(30 Sq meter) and 1900 baht for Premier Suite(35 sq meter) Includes breakfast. site: www.merisess.com Just opened recently, got fairly quick response(less than 1 day) Probably about 10 minutes or less walk to Cowboy, with Skytrain and new skywalk closer.

Stayed there last October and it is nice except eh beds are extremely hard, so for me I won't be back since that is not for me. Everything else about the hotel was nice though. Stayed next door at the Golden roof and enjoyed that- no pool though. No major noises in the area as ofmid January but that could have changed.

I think you nare talking about the Ever Rich Inn, right acros Sukhumvit from the Majestic between soi 5 and 7. www.everrichinn.com Similar rates to the Majestic

Right in the heart of the action, clean and cheap. http://www.huahinafterdark.com/jings-guesthouse.htm

Jings guest house is right in thee heart of the action. Cheap, clean and friendly. Link is on hua hin afterdark site previously mentioned.

Do they have in-room safe?

Definiely guest friendly. I have stayed there many times adn never had a problem bring a guest back. They leave id at desk. No charges etc.

I just checked out after 1 day at the BJ Holiday. Too much noise and too much dirt around because of the construction. Also didn't like the room anyways. Even at 1200 baht I would rather pay a little more and get a much better room and not have to deal withe the Thai style shower system.

US Dollar bills get a better rate with 100 notes, less for 20's and even less for 1' to 10's. Travellers checks have a fee of 33 baht per check to cash which lowers the rate you get that is higher than bills and I don't believe it matters what denomination. I would always take the largest denomination that you can get so you pay the 33 baht (plus another small fee I think) on a larger amount therby taking advantage of the spread between bills and traverllers checks. It works to just a wash. The Canadian dollar bills seems to get the same rate no matter what denomination you cash as far as I can see. The main reason to be one or the other is depending on what you home currency is. If you arre Canadian or American bring you own currency or the home bank will get it's pound of flesh on the currency exchange.

If you're just asking for a Visitors Visa(60 day) for longer than the 30 day Visa on arrival you don't have to worry because the form info you submit does not mention any background check. I just applied and received it last week from the Thai consulate in Canada. If you are applying for a retirement Visa or something along those lines then you have to worry.

Try this place out. Just opened Nov. 1 on Soi 8 stdio apartment 2500 baht http://www.adelphisuites.com/z1036/promotions_01.html

There is a pinkish building right across from the The Haven on Soi 13 in Pattaya. It appears to be either a hotel or serviced apartment. Does anybody know the name or have any info on it?

Looking at gthe Phuket airport website and checking all Deparyres the only places they depart to are: BKK, Samui/Pattaya, Singapore, Kuala Lampur, Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong. So you will probably need to fly through BKK for most places you would go unless you are going to one of these cities.
