mkgross. Thanks very much for reporting on your experience of Mr Toom's taxi service. I shall use him in reliance on thei information provided by you.

Soi 6 best place for shopping. 500 baht ST, 1000 baht LT. Oh sorry, you meant for food etc? Try Mikes Mall or Big C. Enjoy - little chance that you won't.

Stevoman. I note you are thinking of Mr Toom for your taxi upon arrival in LOS in April. I am sure that we would all be interested in learning about the standard of car and driving provided. If anyone else is thinking of using Mr Toom, same same. I intend using him in May and will let you know about the service/car provided. Regards

If anyone decides to travel with Mr Toom from BKK airport to Pattaya I am sure many board members would apprciate a comment about the service. Regards to all.

Flash Basbo Thanks for the info. I would have thought it a good idea if Sabai made this clear on their website. I think a lot of boardies are heavily influenced in their choice of room by the safe as opposed to safety deposit box issue. Very useful information.

Flash Basbo Where I differ is that I don't think you get a lot more at Areca spending up to 1600 baht. The larger rooms aren't too impressive and I can do without a view. Many lower priced hotels have safes like Sabai Inn. .................................................................................................... ................ When you refer to "safes" at Sabai Inn do you mean in-room safes or safety deposit boxes at reception. Just been on their site and there is no mention of in-room safes. Anyone able to confirm whether Sabai Inn has an in-room safe? Sometimes i

Emil I posted the question about this hotel. Thanks very much for your efforts on my behalf.

Once again thank you to everyone for taking the time and trouble to respond. Best wishes

Thanks to all who have kindly responded

wacmedia Thanks for the information. It is a long and potentially very boring flight. So obviously I would wish to have as much comfort etc. as possible. Never been on BA but thought Qantas was dreadful.

Hi all. Hope someone can help with this question. Whenever I have travelled before from London to Bangkok, I have used EVA Air, which I have found to be good. Certainly since the "upgrade" in the planes. There now seems to be more leg-room in cattle class, t.v. monitor in seat in front etc. I travelled once with Qantas but would not wish to repeat that experience. My question concerns Thai Airways. How does this compare to Eva in terms of comfort, service, leg-room, entertainment etc.? I am thinking of trying Thai Airways but do not want a miserable long-haul flight. Thanks

Emil Many thanks. And have a great trip. Geoff

I always thought that a 69er was inherently dangerous

Emil I have just got back from LOS and am not due to go again until spring. However, I was thinking of maybe trying the Marina Inn Plaza. If you are in LOS during January I would be grateful for a report on this establishment. Thanks Geoff

Little Roy Thanks for going to the trouble. You are lucky having a condo. No hotel probs for you anymore. Have a good Christmas.

Little Roy Thanks for taking the trouble to respond. Like you. I also hope that I am not referring to a ST hotel. The hotel I am interested in has its own website - www.marinainnplaza.com Hope this helps. Thanks again

Hi I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has stayed at the above hotel recently. Which of the suites offered is it best to stay in? Is breakfast included? Is there a balcony and/or swimming pool? Most important of all, would you recommend it? Thanks.

I stayed at the RG from 18th until 27th November. I am a big fan of this establishment. It is spacious, no one hassles you and it is but a short walk or baht bus ride away from the action. Of course, people look for different features in an hotel. However, for me it ticks all the boxes.

Hi Anyone travelling on Eva Airways Flight BR068 from LHR on Thursday 17 November like to share taxi from BKK airport to Pattaya upon arrival around 15.55 on Friday 18 November?

gsjoe Interested in the exchange rate you quoted from MS store. Could you please tell me what MS store is? Thanks

Thanks. Will do that. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Hi All I am a late-to-the-scene newbie (in my late 50s). I will be staying at the RG from 18 Nov to 26 Nov. Would love to meet any board members for a beer at any time during my stay. Thanks
