  1. A mate of mine said its now a massage place,i guess he should know his room is less than 10 mtrs away.
  2. Hi Phil, Just a couple of questions 1. i cant seem to find BBC Knowledge,can you direct me to it. 2.Is CTH on any of the apps,if not is there any chance you might get CTH in the future.
  3. Phil im not complaining about the box,you warned me beforehand that it will not work properly with my True connection. I was just trying to assertain that if in the future i am only able to get a True internet in my condo,that True can work properly.If i get my own line.
  4. Just to clarify.Are you saying your Minix works perfectly with this package from True.I only ask because at the moment im stuck with True,but my mInix performance is,well for want of a better word CRAP..
  5. tYou have to look specifically for the Diana that is on Soi Buakhou.You can get condos around the 10K baht range
  6. My charges on top of rent are usually 2k to 2.5K Baht.That is inclusive of water,electric and maid service twice a week.So provided you dont use aircon much expect the total bill for a month to be around 13.5K Baht. All the rooms have wired internet free of charge. The place is run just like a hotel with receptionist and night security guard.Ive been spend every winter(6 or 7 mnths) for the past 3 yrs.The place fills up pretty quick,which must say something. If youre interested ill PM you the owners phone number,,,Ralf a german guy who speaks very good english. Book early if you
  7. Yes it has a pool,not very big,maybe 15 yrds long but as very few people use it,you usually have it all to yourself.
  8. Maxx Central,very close to 9 Karat.3 months or more basic rent 10900b. Im there now so any assistance needed if you decide on this place i'll help.
  9. Ive just searched early July next year,on Westeast travel. Prices from 518 pounds.
  10. Scolopendra gigantea is its name.Every thing said is true,if you get bitten go straight to the nearest hospital. I once saw a Thai girl kill one,she hit it a dozen times with a big stick,then paused to look at it,then hit it some more lol.
  11. For that price,try searching...9 karat condo,Nirun condo and Spanish place,all of these have access onto Soi Arunotai,which is in your search area.
  12. I use Anonymox for firefox,never had any problems.
  13. A little more info might help,Budget,area and when is the trip planned would be a good starting point.
  14. I think they are all pretty much the same cost wise.Its just a matter of trawling the net for the best deal. From Stockton on tees your nearest airport would probably be Newcastle upon tyne.Its worth noting that you cannot fly direct to BKK from any airport outside of London. You could also get the train direct to Manchester airport,which is the biggest in the north of England.
  15. Maybe it was the lawyer who did the title ect. that borrowed the money.Its an old story from the local papers a good few yrs ago.
  16. Except tha the company name thing could backfire on you if the is any dispute involving the land or house the judiciary will not favour you. Ithink a well known story,abr. Man buys house company name,man goes to UK for business,man returns and house has someone living in it.It seems a lawyer a had borrowed money on the house and had not repaid. When it goes to court,judge admits the man has been swindled but says because in the first instance you broke the Thai law for owning land.YOU LOSE.
  17. If you approach Pattaya new plaza from 2nd road,take the left hand road and its about 30 yrds up on the left.
  18. Feedback from my visit, Had Chicken fo yung,chips and curry sauce. The fo yung was quite tasty tho the portion was small and over priced,i estimated the cost of ingredients to be about 20B tops,the cost of the dish 110B. The chips,skinny,almost french fry style were,well to put it bluntly efin awful. Cook proper chips,it cant be that difficult.Cost of chips 50B. Now if you thought i was being unkind about the above,the curry was far worse,it tasted and had the the consistency as if they were running out and had mixed it 50/50 with water.Cost of so called curry sauce 35B,i
  19. If you tell me youre email addy or at least the first part,ill ask at reception or the owner for you. Need anymore help PM me and ill try to sort it.
  20. I stay at Maxx Central,its located in central Pattaya about 150 mtrs east of 3rd road and maybe 5 to 7 mins walk to soi buakhow. My mate has a beautiful 1 bed condo app 76 sq mtrs.Ithink for 1 mnth its 25k,plus elec and water.Search it on google and if you like ill try book it for you,or at least help with booking.
  21. Always a difficult one to answer. Beer ranges from 70 pence a bottle to over 3 quid depending on where you want to drink.Similar with food,you can eat Thai for around 1 pound a meal or english food 2 quid for a full english and 3 or 4 quid for an evening meal.If you then want steaks and to eat at higher end retaurants you will pay English prices or close to. Personally,and bear in mind im here for 7 mnths i dont spend anywhere near 50 quid a day,im suspecting tho that youre going to be here 2 or 3 weeks,my guess is you will drink more than i do. I would say if you arent
  22. Tourist visa,60 days +30 day extension would be my advice too. No visa run to Cambodia needed.
  23. This morning i was out for a walk and found myself close to imm. office,so i called in and asked the imm. police officer on the desk by the door,told him what ive told you guys.He looks a little puzzled,then replied,you should have a small slip in my passport that tells me my date to report.He didnt seem to be able to tell me posstively either. So i get back in my condo and give my passport a thorough search,i eventually find the slip of paper hidden between a reciept,which tells me that my next date to report is 16th Feb.which is 90 days after the extension was granted.So it looks like
  24. Ah,if this is the case,my first application for extension was granted 18th Nov.So i should be doing my first address report 90 days from then? Can anyone confirm this is the case for Pattaya immigration.
