It's closer to Second Road than Third Road. I actually like the location. It's a little secluded, but close enough to Soi Buakhao and Second Road.

It looks easy enough to catch a baht bus from Soi Buakhao. That'll take you to Walking. For Jomtien, you can transfer at Pattaya Tai and catch another baht bus. I'm seriously considering staying here next trip. It looks great and is a bit secluded, but still convenient enough to do everything I want to do.

LK Royal Suites fits the bill too. There's not jacuzzi by the pool, though the rooms have jacuzzi-style tubs. There are two saunas and a steam room by the pool area.

Thanks for that Lex. I know where it is now.

Still unsure of the exact location. Anyone have any specifics, landmarks, etc.? I looked on the site and my Pattaya map, still not sure.

Aren't fares generally higher across the board in the US at this time? It's low season in Thailand, but it's prime vacation time in the US. It was the same last year too.

It's much closer to Pattaya Klang that Pattaya Tai.

I wonder if Thai doctors give out medical marijuana for glaucoma.

Looks fantastic!

Yeah, it's on Soi 1 for sure. I've walked past it lots, as it's near one of my favorite restaurants. I've never been inside. Looks like an office from outside though.

That's because they don't have the natural ability to walk in heels.

Hang out on Third Road after 2AM as the biker boys get out of karaoke. Tell them how awesome they are. More seriously, if you stick to safe areas and don't do stupid sh*te then all you have to worry about are drunken football hooligans.

Do they have ADSL?

It's pretty hard to miss. If you're at Leng Kee restaurant, looking across the street (Pattaya Klang), then it should be staring you right in the face.

The old wing at the Lek isn't exactly cheerful. Honestly, there are better values in the price range, but if you only want to consider those two, I guess I'd say Lek.

Pffftt. \/\/hatever barebaker! I grew up in NY. The pizza there rules over anything you'll find in Thailand.

Kevin, owner of Jasmine Mansion has three updates this week on the Riff-Raffles site for your reading pleasure. Check it out when you get a chance! On Thai People and Lying I have often been heard to say to the Thai staff at the Jasmine Mansion, in my usual exasperated tones, ‘If you are going to lie then do so properly.

Initially you consider that the person lying to you is treating you with total c

UAL business is much better than Thai premium economy. It's not even close.

It really depends on where you're flying from, but I'm going to estimate between 40 to 60 percent of the actual cost of a business class ticket.

There are sporadic DNS problems between Thai ISPs and the Internet. They usually don't last too long though.
