I know I have slaged them , But at the price , I have booked them for a November trip . I will take Spacebass & Rawlins advice ( and stop being a wuss) Joe

BA do flight to Chang Mai ? Joe

Flew with Bangkok airlines . toC/M & samui , far better short haul flight than you can get in the Uk . have fun . Joe

I looked out in envy at the pool at the Lek , was staying at the Dynasty . Breakfast is not an issue , it hard not to find some where to eat in Pattaya . Soi 8 your in the middel of the madness , Soi 13 just a short walk away . Joe

Thanks Lemons , did mean M/C , but then again I could ask a lass if she rides tandam Joe

Is bike hire available there ? Joe

No joiner fee at Dynasty . they ask for ID & phone you when guest leaves , I like this hotel , No in room safe , but access to safe deposit boxs 24/7 Joe

Agree with Jambo , Done Abd /Amd / bkk looking at a flight for Nov , and they are the cheeper by £200 than the rest so far . will keep looking , Joe

Nice Hotel and a nice pool , Did have a sign up at the poolside saying ,Hotel patrons only , no guest . That was in Feb , don't know if they enforce it . Joe

Same same , was sent across to them by thr Majestic ,as they where full , that was in February , The door man arrange a taxi to the airport for me@ 300 baht all in , Joe

Jig , As this is the open forum , can.t really say would be better to ask on the members forum , Joe

I take some cash in baht ,and use my debit card . It said you get a better rate in Thailand . but never seen a great differance , Dont know you hotel , Joe

Oh ,Suit you sir Does she go sir ? I dont blame them some of us have that male model look , Its the way you swing it . Joe

I thought you where still at the stage of blanking out , any thing that was not female Joe

Or if they are full the Dynasty Inn next door , same price , Joe

As I think Mr G may be looking for something more up market . this may help some looking at the mid range My hotel was the Lamai Inn 99 , I was in a bugalow on the beach the view was ace. The rooms was clean but a bit spartan and dateted , the room had good air con and a fridge and TV , (some dont) safe deposit box at reception , which shuts up shop at 9 pm till 7 am , they have a nice pool and you are just a walk away from the town. they have a small restrant on the beach front . and the staff where nice , and just let you be . the price in May was 1500 baht , have stay

No tilac I would never , Its more like a low budget Alcazar , I think they have rooms well the young lady keeped pointing and said to me. have room . Joe lets not forget we are on the open forum .

Been to Lamai twice and both times miss the boxing ring , side track'ed . Also enjoyed the Ovada band , And Gabor I know you will vist lamai cabaret. Joe

Come on Alan , you would go just to cheer on the team playing England . Joe

Agree as there where 5 of you , its a good deal if your on your own , Did not have a long wait . luck of the draw . in fact there was only 5 passengers on the bus . as I have said Lamai gets my vote Joe

You could buy a fan , or adjust the AC setting . Joe

One thing to add , the cheap and easy way to get to you hotel , was by the airport s minibus , Its a set rate per person , to each area of Samui . It work out a better deal than Hotel pickup , in May it was 100 baht to hotels in Chaweng . Joe

The Grand inn or the Majestic , As your GF is not into the bar scene , why do you need to stay on the Sukomvit ? there are hotels in all areas that are in close proximity to the sky train , the Siam area springs to mind , Joe

Agree with Monty. Samui is not Pattaya. but is a nice change , and Lamai is my area of choice , You do need to stay by the main areas as transport is a pain at night . of a day I hired a motorcycle . As this is the open forum, and I know you are just a tourist . I will stop there , and let someone else tell you where the best noodel carts are . Joe

Can see you just have the one agenda . and yes its the one with the floating candels . Joe
