Put in a subject but apparently it didn't take. The soi 13 I was talking about was Inn House.

Spent 4 nights in Pats last week over new years. Everything was busy and prices were up. I stayed at the Sunbeam on Soi 8 for 2 nights and the Sunshine just across the street.

Sunbeam was a really nice room but I found the staff unhelpful and the place was packed with Arab tour groups. I booked online and had no problem bringing guests but a mamasan told me they usually charge 600B joiner fee. Further research suggested that joiners are free (as is wifi in the room) only if you book online. My guess is that's a policy to they offer to circumvent the travel agents. Wifi worked well though.

I found the Sunshine better. Room not as nicely appointed but staff helpful, food at the restaurant good (and with a nice courtyard overlooking the Soi 8 scene). I upgraded to a superior room and had an awesome balcony overlooking the beach and Soi 8. My date for the night and I spent the evening drinking sang som, eating room service and watching the action from above (oh yea, and fucking). Wifi was pay as you go but not too expensive and reasonably fast.

We have a good range of rooms at very competitive rates, we are completely guest friendly, discreet back door at building A, we offer an All day English Breakfast as well as other fine fair, as well as a well stocked new and used bookshop with book exchange.
Please see http://www.canterburytalescafe.com and drop me a line for a good deal on a room for the coming year.
Cheers Dave

... we offer an All day English Breakfast

What are your opening hours?

I've walked past during the early hours on several occasions in the last few days and it's always been closed.

Maybe it should read "All day, except when we're closed".

hey fellow BMs...bit of a dilemna here. I'm thinking of staying at either flipper lodge or flipper house, any one know the difference between the 2...both LB friendly...no joiner fee ?...what happens if u bring 2 LBs back..any fees stares ?

[daveo679]

Opening hours are 8am to 8pm, it is clearly posted outside the front over each entrance.

Okies.

Maybe I'll pop in for an "All Day Breakfast", ensuring that it's during the half a day that it's actually open, of course.

As they say, "This is Thailand"

[daveo679]

As stated its an all day (not half day) breakfast, not all day and all night, Thanks Dixon, I hope your getting close to understanding now.
Cheers Dave

Thanks Dixon

My pleasure.

My days are 24 hours long, not 12.

hi again fellow BMs...thought I'd try asking again about the flipper hotels, I also noticed that they are in soi 7 and 8 respectfully, it means having to take a bus from 2rd at early hours of the morning and getting dropped of at the top of the soi on 2nd rd...Is it safe to walk down these sois at 3-4 in thw morning ?

[dixon cox]

Is it safe to walk down these sois at 3-4 in thw morning ?

IMO they are at their best at that time of day.

Soi 7, 20m from 2nd Road on your right is Family Good (part of the Family group of bars), about 5 ladyboys on staff in this very friendly mixed bar (with pool table), open until 6am.

Soi 8, 50m from 2nd Road on your right is Blue Dragon 2002, stacked with some of the sluttiest cock-carrying slappers in Pattaya, including Benz (ex-Didi Bar) and many others, open 24 hours a day and always populated.

A few ladyboys can often be found scattered around these two slutty interlinked sois and many bars remain open until daybreak, no need to be afraid.

Both LB friendly, aussie, no joiners fee. I've only stayed at Flipper House ("suite") and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great location.
Of course its safe!

Mind you, i hate Sodom City of course, and only venture there against my will, and purely for research!
