3 baht is the electric rate, but landlords etc up this usually

Every man and his dog stays here. If you have a nice regular girl she will have to run the gauntlet of pervy falangs every day asking do you do ST or LT the place is full of sex tourists. I hated the place. But I know many on here like it, probebly because as one girl is leaving another falang usually does here as well.

When the thieving local government bastards return the missing money. Or should I say the palm lube money.

I hear what you say mate. I was basing my estimate on living in a nice condo not a hotel room. Nothing wrong with hotel rooms but for six months or more a condo with adsl internet connection and all that goes with a condo I stick to my previous prices.

Same, Same Beach Road being completed.

I think you will find that Pattaya over Phuket has more to fill your days. Phuket for me was boring, and the girls had an attitude problem. I went in March for a month but went back to Pattaya after 2 weeks for me the place 2nd rate. I lived in Pattaya for six months until August this year. Allthough there were many things to do it did get boring and routine the same as anywhere. One thing I will mention though, I did a lot of research before going, prices per month etc, but it did not prepare me for the true cost of living in Pattaya, which was way beyond what some people will tell you. For a decent condo in a safe area, living an average lifestyle without going into all the breakdown it cost me to live normally £1,200 per month and I would advise anybody intending to live in Pattaya to budget around £15,000 per ann. I know people will tell you you can live for peanuts 40 50 60 thousand baht per month, but in reality they have a very simple cheap lifestyle living in a dodgy area. My advise would be to live for a month as a trial run then work out your own costs. Hope this helps someone.

Bangkok is worth seeing but unless you know your way around you may waste several days. On a short trip head straight for Pattaya and complete the business.

Stupid sign. Is it a Brit owned place ? Maybe they intend to identify other bar owners and want to give them the VIP treatment.

Don't do it. Tell them you will pay cash. Should be no problem now Pattaya dead

Not wet, been here since June, but yes hot, and very humid.

I have had a fair bit of dental work done in Pattaya and can highly recomend The PIH Pattaya International Hospital on Soi 3 North Pattaya.
