looks good and a fair price

i guess that the chances of a board member being on your plane and reading your post is quite small, others on other planes arriving the same day may not want to wait for you to share a 1200 baht taxi and prefer to get straight down to the action with no delay.

queen vic looks reasonable, cheap as hell, but as you say too close maybe http://www.queenvicpattaya.com/Rooms.htm its really down to you and your attitude to noise/nightlife but soi 6 shouldn't be too bad at night i guess.

never stayed there but heard bad reports

i have the lk metropole for xmas and thats good for me and its in your price range but another option which is guest friendly and looks great is the tims boutique http://www.scandibar.com/hotel/tim-boutique/ for your money you can get a deluxe with jacuzzi bath(3100 baht including breakfast for 2) http://www.hotels2thailand.com/pattaya-hot...tel-pattaya.asp http://www.timboutiquehotel.com/room_types/deluxe.html Its in the middle on 2nd road but baht bus is easy and close to mikes mall and stuff

Hi Mickeylo before doing much else your best bet is to join the board fully, click here and get access to much more info http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5880 hotel choice in pattaya is endless and as said above depends on your budget and also depends on you and your lifestyle, do you want busy or quiet and relaxing with easy access to everything ?? my first trip to pattaya last year i booked a dolphin pool cottage at sabai lodge with pool and it was great and guest friendly(quiet and relaxing area of soi 2) http://www.sabailodge.com/dolphinpool.htm this year i am going for the LK Metropole 1 bedroom suite and in a much different area of soi bukhao. http://www.lkpattayahotel.com/metropole/index.html some soi 13 hotels can be found here http://www.scandibar.com/hotel/ hope you have fun PS i have the dynasty inn grande in bangkok booked for the end of my vacation which people tell me is the better of the dynasty inn hotels so make sure which one you have booked as there is a dynasty inn grande and a dynasty inn http://www.dynastyinn.com/beta_DynastyInnBangkok.htm (dynasty inn) http://www.dynastyinn.com/ (dynasty inn grande)

+2 I shall be contacting you in a couple of months for my xmas trip to pattaya(lk metropole) and then collect from pattaya to Bangkok(Dynasty inn Grande), counting the days

hi skinbad, hope it works out for you Two things, to see more info on this forum its best to join in fully, follow this link http://www.pattayatalk.com/joinmembers.html the other point is that typing all in capitals is seen on the internet as SHOUTING and its not good form so maybe you would prefer to type in lower case. cheers

have a look in the meeting & cost sharing area down the board from this area you will find things like this http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26996

looks good , tell him to keep those beer prices for xmas and i will pop in

mr tooms thread is in the meeting/cost sharing area down the board from this one http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=21018

los - Land of smiles

great pics and looks like a great birthday party, cheers hammer

for me, i book a taxi with mr toom, 1200 baht and get there in 90 minutes or so(depending on time of day)

i was going to mention, what with the american/un embargo on spare parts etc to iran, i wouldnt risk flying with them, i also would not fancy being on the ground in teheran if the americans start the war, it could be a very long stopover

for the busy christmas period i dont think they will drop, i booked my thai air business class trip from london for 1900 pounds (booked in march) and now for the same flight they want 5378 pounds (today), they are taking the piss. 700 pounds is around the average at the moment in economy and that is pretty reasonable i think

if he had email like mr toom then i am sure more people would use him

When i go to thailand i take 3 - 400 pounds in uk sterling with me, change 200 at the airport on arrival in bangkok and then draw the rest using the atm's around the area(there are plenty and full of easy to use english information) If you prefer to join and see the full information on this board, look here http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5880 there is much more to see as a full member

sounds good

sandy spring in soi 13 people say is good a few can be found here at reasonable prices http://www.scandibar.com/hotel/

i came back from portugal yesterday and my nationwide visa was giving me an exchange rate of 1.4823 and the local money shops were offering 1.40 euros to the pound same applies to thailand with the baht, use the tool above and you will get what it says.

depends what sort of person you are on whether you book before or on arrival, me i am a person who likes to be sure of accomodation on arrival so i book early. Lots of places are available but depends on your location requirements http://www.scandibar.com/hotel/jasmine/ can be had for 550/750 baht pattaya bay resort looks good for 800 baht for a standard room

sounds good, is it like this one and is it any good http://www.pattayabuffet.com/
