bought over a few different toys for my gf, never had my bag searched in thailand full stop.. i'd take them and wouldn't sweat it at all.

thanks for the link Soi7, i'll check it out

yeah billrussell i've been waiting to buy a ATA box for awhile.. just can't decide which one. Pennytel is 0.04c to Thai mobiles from OZ.. pretty cheap.. will be better once the thai start getting in VOIP

BobsBBQ with Skype you can buy credit to call lanelines and mobiles just about anywhere in the world.

is the single bed a standard for the superior rooms? meant for 3 are they?

i've already booked two rooms at the dynasty inn (travelling with a friend).. but for 800bht less i saw rising and thought it might be worth a down grade.. Haven Hotel have rooms for 950bht.. again cheaper then dynasty... dam, too many hotels to choose from!. is the big and whistle in the same area?

G'day guys.. A friend and I are heading to Pattaya for the first time in November. We're both young fellas (23). Its not our first time in LOS, just Pattaya. anyways, we're looking for a place to stay for 4 nights. Has anyone stayed at The Rising Sun Hotel (www.risingsunbar.com) ??? its on Soi Yamato. originally we were going to stay at Dynasty Inn, as Sand Springs and Inn House are both booked... but i found the rising sun website, and now i'm thinking the extra money dynasty costs would be better spent on foods, drinks, etc. thanks.
