  1. When I stayed there for 3 nights a couple of years ago (I normally stay at Residence Garden) my room was at the back of the hotel there was only one central tap that only gave out cold water.When I came to check out I was told I could not leave as the TV didn't work (not damaged) just didn't work I hadn't even turned it on after several minutes of discussion I suggested they tried plugging it in ( I had remembered that I had charged my phone in the plug behind the TV) when she rang the maid to tell her to plug it in.She agreed it was ok for me to leave no apology !! Apart from the above it was
  2. I seriously wouldn't stay there again if it was free and included a Gogol stunner.
  3. In England the black cabs have fought back in London unsuccessfully and there has been all sorts of lies and rumours about rapists and uninsured drivers.The truth is Uber drivers have to be licenced and insured the same as any private hire driver.
  4. I have stayed at the Residence Garden for most of my trips for the last 9 years.There has been some renovation i.e. New tv,s new fridges and whilst some of the rooms could do with brightening up a little the whole place is kept immaculately clean. Getting an end room cuts down the chances of inconsiderate guests.I have found the staff generally happy and helpful,my pet hate is the manageress insistence in putting the newspapers clipped in to a piece of wood.
  5. No problem getting the current 1550 rate just book direct and ask for FLB rate
  6. If anyone knew what the fares are now we would know if there was an increase.
  7. Well done and thank you, nice to see places I am never likely to get around to seeing.
  8. Zaris,As far as your comment about Residence Garden is concerned I have been going to the R.G and spend 12 weeks a year there as a direct result of there advert on Pattaya talk and have done for 9 years and there are many other return visitors to the R.G.I believe it was a very negative decision on R.Gs part to stop advertising.
  9. Totally agree with your comments,in my experience there is always an attendant in the toilets and they are checked after every use.Neilr was not talking from experience but repeating some unsubstantiated garbage.
  10. Nice report I have stayed there several times my only comment I would add is that 4 star is really pushing it,3 star+ would be a truer rating.
  11. Why wouldn't the girls enjoy staying in a nice hotel ? Is it for the same reason that they are not bothered what you dress like or how you smell.
  12. For those of us that don't understand what moo,s are can you give us a landmark on 3rd rd,or alternatively educate me in understanding Thai addresses.
  13. Great photos of some pretty girls,some cars as well
  14. I have asked and 2500 seems about right so when you can get a premium car from Bangkok for 1600 it's just not worth it,apart from convenience.
  15. I come from a city that has a huge Jewelry quarter and is renowned for its many manufacturers and outlets.There are frequent auctions of Jewellery I from time to time buy items.A couple of years ago bought a cheapish saphire and diamond ring for my avatar lady,she being Thai took it to a "reputable" jeweller who told her it was not real.I had to demonstrate by scratching a glass with the diamond to prove it was real.I would be very wary of trusting jewellers in Pattaya.Do you not know someone that could take it back to the States or the UK who could take it and get the job done ?
  16. Not long after the zebra crossings were installed because they were being ignored police were put on all the crossings in an attempt to educate motorists,sadly they omitted to educate the police.Instead of overseeing the traffic stopping when the lights were red they just supervised the pedestrians crossing the road regardless of whether the lights were red or green.Visitors to Thailand need to be told when visiting that crossings ARE just for decoration.
  17. I did send an e mail to the home office suggesting that on there site warning tourists visiting Thailand about dangers that they told tourists to avoid using jet skis.The response I got was that they were not aware of any particular problem with renting jet skis and they would not be warning tourists of any dangers of being ripped off.
  18. I had an oil painting done just past the flyover on the left hand side at the beginning of Thapraya rd 100 yards below Residence Garden.It was done from a photo took a week and I think was 4000 baht they charge based on size.I was 95% happy with it.
  19. Will the Aston Villa FA cup semi final be shown on TV as I believe being shown by B.T.sport ?
  20. Have looked at this thread from start to finish can't see where it's located directions please ?
  21. thanks for that can I still use that for texts even if they are not cheaper ?
  22. When calling the UK do you precede +44 with 006 then the full number ie 006 +441214545599
