Arriving on SAS at 14.40. Got a taxi waiting to take me to Sabai Lodge. Curly

Doesnt look like they have pool. Is that correct?

I would go for Finnair. They have a pretty good connection out of Copenhagen, the Helsinki Airport is a pleasure, prices fair and the service during the flight okay. Curly

Are there any differences between the standard and the surperior room aside from bathtub, hair drier and coffee-maker? Curly

Best of luck. If the food is good I'll be there for you.

Also remember to have cash at all times. The ATMs are often far between and not very reliable. Wen you find one it might well be out of order.

Be prepared for a bit of everything at the airports. Transport between NAIA and domestic can be a pain in the ass. And when you get there the domestic is can be chaotic. PI is nothing like Thailand when it comes public transportation. Take care, watch your money and look out for scams. The women are great though...

I agree. Have already booked for May. The summer suite is worth the price. Curly

Pizza Big. Nakula Road. really good pizza. And ........big

In the airport getting ready to board. After all the recent bad reviews I have cancelled at Sabai Lodge. Giving Best Beach Villa a try instead. See you soon guys Curly

Dear Cookie, How about seting up a comercial tour of your kingdom aimed at the many readers of your diary. I know you are a busy man, so I will be pleased to produce the thing for lets say 60 % of the gate? Well, we can get to that later. I see the tour starting out in the kitchen with you running around trying to fill orders after cook has called in sick with a lame lie. You will then every few minutes be presented with different problems: guest money stolen, keys locked in room and later found in maids pocket, staff requesting to go to hospital to visit relatives and so on. In case action slows down or members of the tour group look bored Tuk will appear and tell you she is eating khowphad. After that tour goes to room and you cover the bathroom in paint. Lunch. Cold chilli will be served while new sign is placed above restaurant in the most incompetent manner. Sparks must fly. Mrs. Boss makes her first appearance and verbally corrects everybody. Van takes tour group to private residence. Mrs. Boss hits the hell out of a few golf ball first right the left handed. You show group the concrete covered garden with the small mountains of dried dirt. Tour finishes at the part of garden where big hole was created and later covered by order of Mrs. Boss. Keep in mind this is just a rough first draft, but I think it could be a moneymaker. I will be in town next month - lets talk Curly

The special price 850 bath for deluxe room came in a separate file. I have tried to copy it but monkeys have better computer skills than me. And I dont have a monkey around for the moment. Anyway, says you have to call for a reservation : 038-371200-4. I have already booked at Sabai Lodge next month and dont plan to say anything. Judging from the latest reviews the place is going downhill anyway.......

I have been a regular at sabai Lodge for several years, so I was slightly surprised when I got this mail: -------------------------------------------- Dear sir, Hello form Care ( Ex manager at sabai lodge Hotel Pattaya) Nowaday I worked as General Manager at The beach garden resort. Located at Pattaya naklua road soi 20. I would like to offer special discount for hotel room rate and our services. Please visit www. thaigolfcare.com Our service is Hotel booking inbound and Golf services. I hope to service you again. ---------------------------------------- Now, either the Sabai group has take over a new hotel or Care (whom I have never met or talked to) decided to help herself to some costumer info on her way out the door. Anyway, the place is a bit out of the way for me, but the special rate is 850 bath/night. Pictures look okay. Has anybody been there? Curly

Mike Orchid Resort has been suggested as a good alternative to Sabai Lodge as I like to stay in that part of time. I have found a homepage, but it is really poor without basic info like rates. I dont even know if there is a pool. Can anybody tell me more? Thanks Curly

Well, plenty to choose from. Thank you for your time guys. Curly
