Laugh Koykaeng, true I could maybe sell them at Club 131, I was rolling on the floor on Wednesday evening when Cindy kept bringing the litte buggers into the bar and sharing them with Alise, one would bite the head and hold it steady while the other would bite the body off. Was frightening to watch on many levels :twisted:

Hey Matchman, Not only did we have the same LB, but in the same room (107). well I guess Lek knew where the bathroom was
I was there for 4 days and can honestly say I never saw a cockroach. I don't think I got any mossie bites either, but compared to the buggers we get around our house in Melbourne the thai mossies are hardly noticable, no itching by next day. Maybe the Aussie buggers have given me immunity.

Its location is its best attraction. The action is right at your door step

The Siam Bay whateer is right at the end of walking street and is VERY good ....

Only downside is the 4000 baht night it cost and the 1000 baht they wanted to charge me for an "extra guest" ..... which after making a "fuss" of it ... they waived!

It must be the only hotel in Pattaya that has the nerve to ask for a guest fee,

The mendacity!

Avoid this place !

[rsraleigh]

kliome ... probably is ... in my last visit I manage to convince them that if they do that I will not come back again ....

They finally retreat their intention ... but was too late since I was already arranged with Amy and her room!

So long as its clean and safe, and the staff are friendly what does it matter.

Are you planning to sit in the room all the time - or are you enjoying the fruits of Pattaya.

Is there any broadband connections in the Jasmine hotel? In room or lobby area. Thanks

[patrick]

Yes there is wireless internet in the lobby restaurant area, you can take your laptop in to the restarauant and also plug into mains power. I found the speed/efficiency better than any hotel I'd stayed in over the previous two weeks and all had a far higher room rate, Jasmine was the only one that offered free access. There are also two PC's in the small safety deposit box room, again no charge.
I had a ground floor room and found that sometimes I could connect from there, although it must have been on the edge of the reception area because it was a bit hit and miss.

[matchman]

I have to say I still like the Jasmine, good value, staff are fun and no hidden fees.But I would tell anyone staying there to try and avoid the ground floor rooms. I stayed in 107 for a week and had the invasion of the cockroaches for 2 days, then it was fumigated but the little buggers kept trying to come back. Worse still for me is the lower floors use colored arctic ceilings which means you cannot see any mosquitos in the room and at last count I have over 60 mosquito bites from the room!!! (Bloody pain in the ass to say the least.)

I moved up to the 2nd floor (1st floor for the Brits) and the roaches are a thing of the past and the ceilings are flat white and not a mosquito in sight and no new bites since the move. The only saving grace for me was that all the beauties are horrified at the bites and have been kissing them all better and apply cream all over me whenever they can.

As Stated by others I'd suggest rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors. (1st floor is ground floor.) As there is no lift.

I normally have to pay for those cockroaches at the street side stall.

You need to turn your adversity into opportunity !

Think of the money you could be making.

I think I'll continue to stay at the Dynasty Inn for the moment.
