  1. The Vault's standard rooms have a leather couch and chair and are priced at 1000 bht. I stayed there in Jan 07. You have to use payapl and make a $50 deposit, but I had no problems at all...free laundry too. Naic Place.
  2. I recently got back from LOS and stayed at the Vault seven nights. I stayed in a standard room the first three nights at 1000 bht per, then went to Chaing Mai for three days and was booked to return to the Vault for my final 4 nights. Mike upgraded me to a Penthouse suite at no extra charge...the rooms was awesome, just as described above. The free laundry was an added bonus, it's nice to have your laundry cleaned and ironed and returned on hangars every day. Also can vouch for the employees, very helpful and cute too. While I may not spring for the Penthouse, I'll certainly pay 1000 bht
  3. Aloha, I'm in Kapolei. I'm AD Marine, retiring next year. I'm in Bkk from dec 30th - Han 1at, then to Pattaya until the 11th. Anyone want to get together for a beer, just let me know. I'm staying at the Vault.
  4. Anyone going to Pattaya from Bkk (Majestic Suites) on Jan 1st? Anytime between 1200-1500.
  5. There's a place on Soi 4, right across from the 7-11 and Sin called the Heidleburg (sp?), around 1700 bht, flat screen tv, safe, pretty nice place.
  6. I'll be there in Jan and will be sure to stop in and check out your place. I guess I better get there early so I have more selection.
  7. I booked for late Dec, early Jan through the hotel's web site. No Problems, even had to make changes, which they did quickly with no hassle.
  8. Is there a pool there? I've heard mentioned that they might be building one. Anyone know?
  9. Same thing happened to me...could only book a standard room. I asked about a deluxe room at the reception counter and they moved me to a deluxe room after someone cancelled. Not much difference in the rooms anyway.
  10. I've been to Patts twice with a black American friend. We always have a great time, he's never mentioned or have I seen any signs of overt racism. You'll have the time of your life.
  11. It was April that sent me the replies. I sent an email to cancel and asked again if they could explain the "code" they sent to me. I'm trying to get into the Vault now...but sure would like a pool.
  12. Tried to make a reservation at LK Metropole for Jan 1-4. I filled in all the blanks on the form and requested the "FLB Rate of 1800 bht". This was their response: We can give you the price that you wanr 1,800 per night but Jan 3starting on Dec.1 until jan 1 our rate will be increase so 1,800 add more 20 % is 2,160 baht per night. What in the hell does that mean? I then asked them does that mean that I pay 2160 for Jan 1, then 1800 for the 2nd and 3rd? This is their response: Why don't you read the reservation form that you've submit here before so that you understand my message
  13. I just made a reservation yesterday at Majestic Suites for late Dec. Have you tried there?
  14. Great site, I just discovered it. Very informative, I'll be looking at the old issues too. I saw the condo review, do you ever review hotels? Just a thought. Keep up the good work.
  15. So, if I arrive in LOS in late Dec the new airport will almost certainly be open. Is it true that the new airport is between Bangkok and Pattaya? If so, since I arrive very late (0100) the question of staying in Bkk or straight to Patts is a no-brainer. Sorry to ramble, my question is how far is the new airport from Patts and Bangkok?
  16. I like the Areca Lodge but don't want to pay their extra tax for the New Years Eve buffet (1700 bht), plus the extra 300 bht per night btwn Christmas and New Years. I like the area and am looking for any recommendations for lodging in the general vicinity of Areca. Prefer a place with a pool, but not a necessity.
  17. I'm at the Areca right now...great place. Only complaint is there is no hot water for the bathroom sink. I just like hot water to shave, no big deal though. Great shower, plenty of water pressure and HOT.
  18. I always spend one or two nights in Bkk first. Took a car from the Grand Business Inn on Suk Soi 11 to the Areca Lodge...cost 1200 bht (included all tolls).
  19. I stayed at the Heidleburg Inn, across from the 7-11 and Sin night club. Nice plave, laminate flooring, flat screen TV, marble bath room...around 1500 bht, but clean and girl friendly. True there are things cheaper, but might come in handy if someone's in a bind. I'm staying a couple of nights in the Grand Business Inn next week beflre heading to Pattaya. I'll write a report when I get home. Wheels up in six days.
  20. Is is relatively hassle free to take the bus to Pattaya from the Ekamai (sp?) station. I'm staying on Soi 11 (Bkk). I think hiring a driver will cost around 1200 bht, I think the but is only 110 bht....much cheaper. do most of you take the bus or hire a car/taxi?
  21. I'm based in Hawaii and I've never been able to find anything that can beat what my travel agent can offer me. I looked for almost a week for my upcoming trip (leave 22 June) and couldn't beat her price. She always books me on China Air, so I get Delta miles.
  22. Thanks, I appreciate your advice. I've "pulled the trigger" and made a reservation at the Areca Lodge. Wheels-up in 13 days!!
  23. Areca, Sunshine Residences or Lek Hotel. Any one have an opinion on which is better? Thanks
  24. Only been to Pattaya once, loved it and am going back in late June. Stayed at the Areca...very nice, great pool, nice breakfast. I wanted to try another part of town and have heard some good things about the Sunshine Residences (Soi 8, I think). Any opinions on which is better? Just looking for a nice place with a nice pool...preferrably that lets you and your guest play in the pool at night. Thanks.
  25. Anyone stayed here? Looks nice enough and the price is right. I'm arriving in late June and may give it a try. http://www.stereopattaya.com/guestsuites.php
