I just booked a room in BKK using Agoda

[Chester007 175]

Just to help out with the board I used the link that is provided. I did receive a discount as I did it without the link from here and it was about 10% more.

 

So thank you PT once again.

He accessed Agoda both ways, apparently, and compared the prices. Not sure how the comparison worked out though.

 

He'd have to tell you that himself.

What happened is this. I was downstairs having a cheeseburger/fries at the Capt.'s Corner basically the dining area by the pool at RG. I link through this site to Agoda.

 

I pull the trigger on a room and now they want my phone number so I go to my room, get it. I forget my MC so I ended up having go back up. When I get back a gentleman and I end up chatting. Well the damn thing timed out so I resubmit and it's going to cost a whopping 3.50 Canadian more as I'm having Agoda bill me in CDN$'s and I say to this chap I'm going to do this later using the link in Pattaya Talk it's where I rec'd the better price. I think when I resubmitted it didn't pick up this web site and went strait through.

 

So we discover that he knows Martin and Pin. I tell him I'm going there tonight to start my hunt and more than likely head to Hot Tuna for the house band.

He says he and his brother are headed up WS later but don't know where they're going yet. At this point I don't know who he or is brother is and we say our happy mongering good byes.

 

I went up to my room, went back into PT and redid the booking. Sure enough I receive the first price which was 3.50 cheaper. Why was I doing this for 3.50? To let you chaps on PT know it really will save you money as I have confirmed it...You're Welcome

 

So my plan is to go to BKK for my last night and only need a flop pad for this. It's at The Grand Mandarin Residence. https://www.facebook.com/GrandMandarinResidence/

To unwind, guests can enjoy a soothing massage. A shuttle service can be arranged at an extra charge. Laundry services and an Internet café are available.

A wide range of Thai cuisine can be savoured at Ta Mai Restaurant.

So off I go by baht bus, and who do I run into but Pin..and some guy !!!

Anyway Martin,Pin and I head to FLB.

About half an hour later, in walks 2 chaps one being the guy at pool side earlier. So we say hi and he introduced his brother. Martin chats with them and a few minutes later the lessor intelligent one asks me if I'm on PT. I say yes and he says do you mind telling me you BN so I say Chester. He say I said that to my brother i thought it was you. Turns out Fisherman (the lessor intelligent one!!!) and his brother and I have been seeing each other but not speaking..I liked it better that way if I'm being honest!!!

 

Well you have no idea the frick'n shinanigans we 4...yeah Fisherman's best mate from child hood is coming the next day and FM invites me to join them on a Gentleman's Club crawl so I accept half foolishly....man what a day sorry will leave it for my TR!!

 

Martin and I and his mate from Australia whom I still owe 200 baht too ( well that's another shinanigan for my TR) leave for Agogo crawl.. I made it to 2 I believe could be 3 Martin feel free to correct me!! I bar fine this little firecracker at Crazy House. Turns out FM and his brother 20 minutes later BF's 2 from Crazy House. Tough luck lads as I left the 2nd and 3rd best looking for you 2!!!!

 

Anyway are you glad you asked about the booking?!!!

[Chester007 175]

So, I'm in Bangkok having just checked in to the Grand Mandarin Residence having left Pattaya around 1130 hrs. My first impressions to my 540 baht room is FANFUCKINTASTIC value for the baht.

Clean very neat on the 9th floor bed and bathroom studio room (20CDN $'s was invoiced to my MasterCard)

 

Free internet for me, however there are those that would have to pay I forget will find out and edit, however it's cheap

 

Nam Taxi dropped myself and my lady friend off. Lady friend gave it two thumbs up for the cleanliness and for what I'm using it for. A flop pad for the night before flying out tomorrow. Check out time 1200 so by the time we leave it will be right off to the airport.

 

One negative that's just been brought to my attention, no frick'n toilet paper. Thankfully this boy scout is prepared. One roll of Charmaine at your service my dear. Yeah just a bum gun. Not towels either (Edit: Seems there are towels). Didn't notice what the two swans with necks forming a heart were made out of our towels. Trust a female to figure that one out.!!! Hey for 540 baht as long as the Air Con works i'll sleep in a sleeping bag.

 

For the address see link above.

Parking no problem right off the street on ground level.

 

So happy to book through Agoda, helping out the site and myself!!!

I think I'll have a shot of special K if you know what I mean!!

 

Special thanks to Fisherman & friend for the supply!!

Hey, I have hunted for the towels too and found them on the bed. Towels should be kept in the bathroom!

I know right!!!

I also think they should be in the bathroom, but I have stayed in hotels all over the world and this is pretty common. I just wondered why anyone would think that swans on the bed would be normal, particularly when they are made of towel material. You have learnt much on this trip, Chester, and your next one will be much easier (or will it?).

To be honest, my mind wasn't on towels as a sexy naked woman was with me. When ever I've seen these swans mostly in Cuba there's still towels in the bathroom and the swans never are used.

 

I'm just home sitting in my living room laughing that here I am talking about towels in Bangkok.

let's hope he can't find one ,

 

Thanks for the fun read ,
