doesn't matter what day of the week it is you will be fine as long as you know where to go.

for anybody else interested there will be a couple of going out on thursday night by the looks of it. anyone else care to join us? contact myself or one of the other guys above for more information.

hi guys will be in town from the 8th if you fancy a beer. i usually start on the balcony of the cat house first floor nana plaza and then move on from there. PM if you fancy a beer and i will try to help you or show you with what you need to know.

Try doing a search on Agoda and then pressing the map section. It will bring up all the hotels in the area that you may be interested in. Also did you have a budget in mind? Many addicts know of good hotels but depends on what you want to pay. last time i was there i paid £300 for a junior suite in the Royal President.

try this link should take you to the map area .

i had a junior suite and think i paid about £300 for the week with free internet and breakfast. hope this helps.

thanks guys.

during my recent stay in April i used both methods. The taxi desk on arrival and when getting caught up in all the delays due to volcanic ash i used the taxi drivers on the arrivals floor to get me back into Bangkok on a daily basis. yes it saves you a couple of baht for for me it was easy to go to arrivals see if i could get a flight home then if not just walk out the door on the same level and return to the city.

Not sure if this will work for you but you could always try calling a taxi driver i use a lot called Pod. His number is 0891 418399. he does try very hard to speak some english and always find his prices good. For example he charges 1200 from BKK to Pattaya where most drivers want 1500.

you may be able to agree a daily price with him. Good Luck

Thanks Dave.

just be careful and stay away from where the red shirts are and you will be fine.

Sometime in life we just like to seat and have a quiet beer, but always know we will be hassled for ladydrinks. Not any more. The cathouse on the 2nd floor of nana next door to Spankys is a real no hassle bar. Up the stairs and turn 90 degrees left. it's then 10 paces on your right.

The girls are not allowed to ask for a drink. We can buy them one which i may hasten to add i do but they will never ask you.

god i was shocked the first time i went in. Also try and sit on the balcony which over looks the nana car park. It gives you a great view of the freelancers and labyboys.

Writing this while i am in Bangkok i can honestly say yes we certainly do have protests here in the city. However at this moment in time they are not causing me any major problems at all. tried to get to sala ding on Tuesday but turned back due to the protests. Right now the city is in a state of emergency but to be honest it is not causing any major problems as yet.

we have had two red shirt arrests this morning and on the news it did say they had home made bombs on them. (cnn international)

Therfore i think i will pop up to Pattaya for the weeks holideay festive fun. better to be safe than sorry i say.

nana to Cowboy. i prefer to walk it and take in the sites you never know what you might find. Only takes about 15 - 20 mins. Yes it is hot but by the time i get there ready for a few more beers.

Train.

went to the taxi meter rank got a cab used the express way to nana yesterday. total cost on meter 287 baht. plus tolls. ok so i gave him 500 and we where both happy.

I don't arrive until Saturday the 3rd April so i am sorry i will not be able to make it either. Good luck and i hope it is well attended.

Hi guys wondered if anyone knows a reliable taxi for pick up from the airport. when i am going to Pattaya i usually email my contacts there and all is arranged. This trip i am only going to bkk and wondered if anyone had a contact rather than trying to get a taxi meter. oh and yes i do want to use the express way and will be going to nana.

cheers.

Hopefully by looking at this link it will help you more with information for your visa

Hiding most the time during the day or in a taxi. This next trip is mainly bussiness and getting wet whilst wearing a shirt and tie is not my idea of fun. Apparently the Khaosan road is supposed to be the best and most popular place to go but like i said hiding around the pool sounds better. Also take care i have heard of instances especially in Patts where not only ice was thrown but also dirty water too. Enjoy!!
