Well if the rooms have new carpets + decor, then I might be tempted 2 give it another go in low season. The rooms are very large for 700/850 baht - although the price may well rise next year. I love the location - baht buses, Big C and the quiet area of Beach Rd. Although no balcony, I forgot 2 mention the excellent patio/terrace area outside the hotel, has tables and chairs - you feel like Lord of the Manor, looking down at the passing traffic - they also have a full size snooker table near reception.

Below are just a few examples - most have been reviewed in this section - if you see something you like, do a search, using the search function at the bottom of the hotel section page. All the below in different areas - it's very difficult 2 advise, as we all have varying needs + different things get on our nerves + some newbies want a quiet life - others don't mind hustle and bustle. soi bukhow/soi diana/lk metro are very different from soi 2/3 - as is soi 7/8 - soi 13 - Walking St..........all with good and bad points. http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/index.ph...mp;hl=rock

Now I remember another big problem with this hotel The water rarely gets hot enough and often is downright cold + the toilet flush is shite, on my first day (late afternoon, it got blocked with only a little loo paper and I had 2 ask the cleaner 2 unblock it - nearly caused a flood - after this I just used the hose. These problems may or may not have been fixed In order for us 2 assist you further, we need 2 know your preference. Do you want 2 be right in the heart of the action OR somewhere more peaceful, sedate, but still with easy access?? If it's the latter, th

Sabai Inn has an Elevator. So many good hotels with balcony - but we need 2 know your max hotel price, before suggesting rooms/hotels. Honestly - if your not bothered about a balcony (and mean it) then as a newbie, I'd stay at the Sabai Inn, but e.mail the manager and INSIST on a room with outside window. Hotel is only 2 mins from Big C - a good way 2 start the day is be out of the hotel at 11am, then walk down 2 Beach Rd - 10 mins, you will be passing soi 6 - 25 mins will see you at soi 7/8 - this is a lovely walk and wil help you gain your bearings. If you spend more money -

Stayed for three weeks 2006. 1. Get a room with an outside window - half the rooms face inwards, with the window facing the corridor - these rooms are very dark, making you depressed. 2. No problem with location - step outside, loads of baht busses streaming down soi 2, turning left into Beach Rd, up towards Walking St - same coming back on Second Rd - buzz baht bus 2 stop when approaching Big C. 3. Decor now tired but rooms clean and VERY big for money - try getting room on top floor. I would NOT stay here again - but only because the rooms have no balcony - for me, even a

Did Rockhard show up?

Hope you get a good turn out Alex - Happy Birthday

Coyboy That's a tough break - I'm sorry. Hope you manage another trip 2 Patts - somehow? Just a thought - if your going 2 start treatment very soon, why not have one more week in Patts - 7 days, 7 nights It would make one amazing trip report, you could write in between your treatments. I know time is critical - but if I were in your position, I'd be thinking just one more time

What a silly statement - have you been on the Sherry? The title of the thread states: go on then , make me an offer It does not say: go on then Sybarite , make me an offer Newsflash - the world does not revolve around Sybarite - there are others Sort it out

I loved this part of the menu - has anybody ever ordered one? It would feed a Go Go bar, girls and customers. http://www.bobs-bbq.com/Bob's%20new%20...0oct%202007.pdf 317. Big Bob’s Belt Buster 15500.- (35.6 Kg/78.5 lb) Officially certified by Guinness World Records as the Worlds Largest Commercially Available Hamburger July 2006 This burger requires advance notice of at least 12 hours for cooking and preparation time. 15500 baht for a 78.5lb burger - Also - like the Wagon Wheel challenge on the burger menu - finsh in 45 mins and get the meal half price It's go

That's some fantastic party you've got lined up. If I were there, even a grumpy git like me would attend and run up a massive check bin Hope the guys respect your hospitality and buy loads of LD's. I'd probably end up ordering 20 B52's and pay for 10 What happens 2 the guys who get so drunk they can't even walk out unaided? That would be my concern for myself
