I just got back from a ten day stay there, have nothing but positive things to say about the place, Dennis the owner is a great host, the rooms are great and the girls are so sweet, staying there again in Feb.

Also, bring home a few thousand baht with you, so you will have it next time you get off the plane!

Good news to hear Paul, glad everything went well with Jan and the baby. Let us know how it goes, if Jan is up for driving, I could use a one-way ride from Patters to the airport on Nov. 30. Bryan

If it's for a night or two,I always get the deluxe room when I stay at the Nana, I have not been disappointed yet, I've seen some of the standard rooms and I would not like to stay in one of them.

His wife is expecting a baby this summer, so she was taking time off, may be back in buisness in the fall. ( I hope so)

I stayed at the Grottino Residence last Feb. I really liked the the place, one of the best beds I ever slept in. I walked to Soi Cowboy and the Asoke station is right outside the door to take you down to Nana.

Special deal from Air Asia, book April 18th- 20th, fly between Oct. and March. I've been trying to get a free seat but have no luck, every time I try to book a flight, a price comes up, does anybody have any tricks for getting one of these free seats?

Paul, Congrats to you and Jan, she's the best. I had the pleasure of meeting your daughter in Jan. she's a real sweetheart, your a lucky man to have 2 such great women in your life. I hope the pregnancy goes well for Jan and you have a healty,beautiful baby. I'll be returning in Nov. so keep us posted as to whether Jan decides to continue with the buisness. Bryan

I was just wondering, how will this show up on my credit card if I decide to charge it?

I just want to echo Mykl's statement, I stayed a few days in Feb. The food is great and the girls are really nice, although I did'nt take any as I had a longterm gf with me. I stayed on the first fl. rm 105, the only noise I heard was the drunks coming in late at night(Mykl was that you lol) I would stay there again and highly recommend it.

I like the credit card option, one more way to rack up frequent flyer points on my card

I stayed at the Swiss Grottino a couple of weeks ago, it's a little hard to find the first time, it's in a little soi behind the Grand Westin and Robinsons on Sukhumvit. I payed 1950bt. and really enjoyed my stay there as did my date for the evening, also a 5 min. walk to soi cowboy

I would be willing to contribute to help this kid, as I am sure many others would. Let us know if you set up a fund or account and how to contribute to it. I can't stop in and give her money since I won't be back till Nov. and who knows where she could be by then, you could pm me with details.

Merry Christmas to you and your family also. I'll see Jan in a few weeks. can't wait to get back. Bryan

I always carry a rubber door stop, you know , the wedge shaped thing that you stick at the bottom of the door. Wedge it under the door for added security. Of course, if you are out of the room there's not much you can do, that's why it's always best to stash valuables in the safe.

Korean Air has a deal for the fall. Buy ticket by Aug. 31 good till Nov. 31- $889.00. This is a Chicago to Bangkok flt.

I reseved a surperior room (jacuzzi suite) for the end of Jan. - 890 baht a nite. They were in good shape when I was there in March.

Just ran across a deal from korean airlines for those near chicago. Chicago to bangkok $863.00 if you book between now and may 21st. for travel between august 21st. and nov. 30th. Normally runs around $1,100.00

The photos that come across are a bit blurry,they were never like that before,anybody have an explanation?

Thanks for all of the useful advice, it will be well heeded.

Hi, I'm planning on traveling to Thailand in Feb. I'll spend a few days in Bangkok and about a week or more in Pattaya. Are there any safety concerns for a single guy in Thailand, besides having too much fun ?
