Snap! Exactly the same for me,sadly never heard of them or the song though.

Unless it has recently changed its name,the hotel is called Opey de Place,and yes its a very good budget hotel. I personally prefer J&P Court which is just a couple of doors away,which has an equally nice pool.

I think this was done only for adults,maybe a charity thing.Definately never shown to the kids.

Absolutely Tom,what a thriller it was. The septic tanks put up great fight on the final day,the damage had been done the day before with a fantastic 5 1/2 to a 1/2.

My concern with all group qualifying,is that the points system doesnt encourage some of the lesser ranked teams to play football with the intent of trying to score goals. ie a goaless draw gets 1 point,this leads to very negative football(overly defensive). Therefore i think if a team doesnt score a goal there should be no points awarded,goaless draw NO POINTS.

Ah i understand now. You have an O visa but havent gone thro the process to make it into a retirement extension.

Any O visa can be extended for the purpose of retirement if you meet all the criteria. There is no such thing as an O visa that is "not retirement type"

As far as im aware,there have been no changes in the requirements for retirement extension. The guy returning home after 15 or 18 mnths,maybe be too young to qualify for extension,or maybe just prefers a trip home to see family and get a new O visa. The 800K is definately still the option of a combination of earnings or pension and money in the bank.

Yes,there are squash courts very near Pattaya,played there once. Cant remember the name of the hotel where they are incorperated,but its a very very large hotel about 3 mls south on Suk highway. If i remember the name ill post it.

Good for you Jackie, I have run a business dealing with the public and for sure you can never run it problem free. The thing to do is correct the problems as best you can and keep trying to improve,very good luck to you.I for one will be checking out your place on my next visit.

They look good Jackie,I would suggest that maybe you add the sizes of the rooms in square mtrs.I think most people would be interested to know.Good luck.

Try World wide flights,ring this number...0208 782 4486,they are quoting on their website flights from as low as £490.However they may only be a hook to get you to ring,but ive used them before,very good service. http://www.worldwideflights.com/ Good luck.

Very good advice given here. There is also the totally legal way,that is the 30 yr leasehold.So if you are well over 50 chances are it wont bother you to lose it after 30 yrs. It has been said that anything ever built in Thailand will always end up being owned by a Thai eventually.

Hi guys, Soi Day Night 2 is(i think) the Soi that goes down the side of Tukcom on South Pat rd. Therefore making it 2 mins from a baht bus route,but only 5 mins walk from walking st. The area is also in or very close to what some people call the Arab quarter and is also known to be a popular gay area.

Try this link. http://www.netflights.com/SpecialOffersGat...amp;srcid=F_BKK Several dates in Sept. available,cheapest being Jet Airways at 359 pounds,also Emirates at 388.I would say book now.

Andy,the 350B price wasnt for Opey,it was for Le Katai which is a guest house opposite Opey.

Hey Yank, Ive heard about this hospital before,nothing but good reports. Heres my question,you went there with a damaged eye,do they do IOP surgery for mainly cosmetic purposes ie. if someone is just pissed with having to wear glasses.Or is it just for damaged eyes.

Farang food is only more expensive if the restaurant is farang owned,purely because they want to earn farang size money. There are many Thai owned places that do farang food and its uaually around half the price. I think similar is true with Indian food many of the owners have either been brought up in farang land or have lived there.So expect larger earnings.

I totally agree,have tried many and still dont understand why they are many times more expensive than an equivalent Thai restaurants. Maybe its because the Indians who run them have been used to western sized earnings. I have found one Indian eating place thats reasonable value,though not that authentic.That is the RGP food court.Where a very nice chicken madras,naan and boiled rice costs about 160B.

If you like the area,just over a hundred yrds away you can try J&P Court or Opey de place. Both are on Soi Lengkee and the charge per night will be around 650B. Also i know that J&P Court offer a weekly rate of around 4300B.

I think its a bit tight. Would need everything to go very smoothly,but if the flight is ontime its doable.

Holy shit 200B tip for cleaning room is way over the top.As for being an hrs wage thats rediculous. Minimum wage in Thailand is around 365B a DAY.

Geez where do you stay,i can get 2 hotel rooms for 37K. Admitted 3,700B is cheap,but you have to consider the location etc. If i was in Pattaya now i'd sure give it a look over.

Good luck finding one that compares with J&P.I spent 8 mnths there in 2007,love the location,rooms are adequate and the staff very friendly and helpful.Also very honest i remember a guy lost his wallet with 50K Baht in it,the cleaner handed it in fully intact.
