  1. What do you Yanks who visit Pattaya think of Sizzlers?

     

    There are 2 or 3 of 'em, always good for a taste of home.

     

    Not been to any in Pattaya but have visited the one in Central Rama 9 in Bangkok and the all you can side salad bar is just as good as any I have had in the UK, Australia or USA 

  2. @Mind Executive Suites Sukhumvit Soi 85

    I have already posted the pictures above a couple of posts earlier the day I arrived. I had meant to do a report on the hotel there and then but with one thing another (drink & LBS mostly) I could not get it done.

    Here is a brief outline. After arriving at 9.30 at the airport and I had not made an early room booking. I decided to take the airport link train and change at Phaya Thai BTS to the hotel in On Nut soi 85 It takes about 5 to 8 minutes walk from On Nut BTS to the hotel that is just inside soi 85

    To my surprise I could check in to my 1 bed room suite straight away. First thing I noticed was how new things were and how clean it was. The rooms are of good design with a dining table for two at the far end of the room from the balcony Sofa (can be made in to a spare bed) and table with a flat screen tv & dvd player. Kitchen as everything you need including coffee, tea sugar and a kettle. Plus a microwave too. Its as a largerefrigerator not a mini bar

    There is a balcony with a sink to wash shorts etc after swimming or you can use the balcony to smoke if that's your thing.

    Wifi was excellent in both bedroom and lounge room

    "two flat screen tv's in one in bedroom and one in Lounge room. The same with Air con which was nice as you could leave lounge on low for breakfast in the morning. Rather than have to wait 10 - 15 minutes for it to cool. I was given two key cards and kept one in the key slot to keep the rooms at a low cool temp.

    Bathroom as shower with a rain shower above.

    LB friendly as I brought two back on my first night and one back each night after that for the five nights I stayed there.

    Location. Well it's pretty far from Nana to walk but 15 mins BTS 37 baht and 70 to 80 baht coming back in a taxi. With it's location it may not be the best for a LB monger. I enjoyed my stay because of that. It's a nice area with a large Tesco Lotus and at On Nut BTS a night food market with a beer stall in the middle and live music, It's more of a place for long term vacation. Or permanent stay  :biggrin:

  3. I always pop in to Voodoo each trip and enjoy the company of the girls. As I have known a fair few from there times as pre op lbs from Obsessions, Guess etc. Though I must admit it was so empty the other week with three LBS inside no customers and a few outside by the pool table, No sign of Oh or Joy whom I went to see. 

  4. I brought back two ladyboys around 10 pm and was told it was a 1000 baht.

    When checking in they mentiond a fee for a second guest but i assumed it was still 500 as it was in 2010 the last time i stayed there.

  5. Citrus Hotel Sukhumvit Soi 13

    Its just a short walk down soi 13 from Sukhumvit Road. A quite soi with a 7/11 a minute away from the hotel. Location good for Nana and Soi Cowboy 10/15 minute walk either way. Their is a short cut through the Ambassador Hotel in to soi 11 and agian through soi 11 in to soi 7, then the alley through to soi 5 and bingo your almost at Check Inn

    The hotel is a new hotel as it is less than a year old ( opened in October 2012 )

    Rooms very modern inc flat screen tv's , remote tablet control at the bed side for lighting air con. A large safe that would fit the biggest of laptops, Massive wardrobe with more draws than it needed. Bathroom as a power shower and a rain shower above. Also like many new hotels you can see it through the glass panel in the bed room. There is also a built in sofa by the window.

    All staff are friendly and also friendly to LBS as they were polite and chatted to them. Security guards are all good. One waved Cassanova Kitty in to park her car when she gave me a lift back to the hotel. They even came out with umbrellas for us both of us.

    Pool on the roof goes in a U shape. Staff where excellent there. Towels brought over to you the moment you arrive. Nice views of the city.

    Free tuk tuk to the end of the soi.

    Only a couple of bad points the soi itself is like an alley with a lot of car parks from hotels on soi 11 facing it. The roads a uneven and no pavements for most of it. Best to cut through Ambassador Hotel in to soi 11. The road outside the hotel dips and when the rain comes, it floods very fast and stays around for a while.

    The other thing is there is a lot of building work going on behind the hotel. Though with the window shut and all the drink from Check Inn and Darkside meant I never heard a thing.

     

    One of the best things for me staying there. Is my mates office is right across from the hotel and he finished work the same time I was checking out and got a lift to the airport.

  7. Here are a few of Junes pictures from her facebook page she asked me to post. These are from Monday night as all food and drink vendors were barred from putting up their stalls (nana burger) was the only one I saw open and that was after 12 Midnight. So June took the lasses out for a meal and drinks. I was invited by June but did not get back from Hua Hin till late and a bit knacked and didn't make it out till late. So missed out on going.
