Hello Guys, I finally have time and took batman's suggestion to look at this thread. Although I have communicated with the legends group separately, I have been very busy here and not entered this thread before. Thanks for your bookings at "The Place To Stay"! I will do my best to see that you are all happy here and will join you when possible for some partying here in Patong Beach. I believe the Cocktails And Dreams bar is a great place to start the fun, there is always fun to be had there. The owners, Jim and Ning Nong are friendly hosts who will welcome you all.
Your planned timing is good because many of the family tourist crowd will have gone home by then making it easier to get around and easier to access the beach. I am here all year and get tired of trying to navigate around people with baby strollers all along the sidewalks.
I will talk with the taxi person today if possible and arrange pick up when you arrive. All looks good on this end and I expect you all will have a great time here in Patong Beach.

Thanks Tapioca

We are all looking forward to it!

Take your point re Songkran but it should be over by Sat 19th April - I bl.... hope so!

I will check with the staff. The preference is to have a party on the Saturday night so that some BM's who work here can make it.

I will check out dates - if the 19th is a problem we can shift to Sunday 20th. I will keep you updated.

Hi there

I'm quite new to the site but I'd prefer a party on the 19th April as I will probably be heading back to Bkk on the 20th and this would be a great opportunity to get to know you all.

My fingers are crossed that the 19th works out. Keep me posted.

thought a new thread was needed to discuss this one further.
firstly, can everyone let us know who is a definate yes.?

ive looked through the flights, cheapest was NOK air. return was around 3600.
flying out on 30th return 6th.
now, we could all book the outward flight now?
or, leave it till we are in resort, all in the same room and agree a date.
ideally, id like 7 days in phucket, as beach is wicked.
and have to allow for losing a day on the outward part.
so, i dont mind if we went on the 28th or 29th.
obviously, as much taxi sharing would be done as poss.

batman, if you go, would you be taking OH. ?

[dixon cox]

I am definitely up for this trip

My current plan is that I travel alone, re: LB, and hope to share taxis etc. with the 'legends' wherever possible, also flexible with whatever days/dates suit some of you guys.

If we ironed out the details in here of who and when, we could then maybe book the flight tickets so we get the same flight etc., we can arrange taxis to Bangkok when we are there, a few days beforeheand and also share transport to Patong itself from Phuket airport.

Not forgetting hotels; it would be good to be firm on dates as soon as possible so we can each book something.

Looking forward already to the "Phuket Trip of Legends".

So... Who's in :?:

... and let's get those dates fixed

[batman4ever]

batman, if you go, would you be taking OH. ?

indeed so.... :wink:

unless shes pregnant at the time....


BTW...iam booked at howards... sound like a nice guy according to the emails...but def. Thai regarding spelling...

after my booking iwe sent him an request if they had wifi in the hotel....

his reply was.....sorry has no WIFE in guesthouse..

Well as I mentioned in the other thread I'll only be in LOS from April 9th to the 27th. Then I have to head back to NYC. Us Yanks dont seem to get the time off like the rest.

I would have to get down to Phuket on about the 23rd and head back to BKK on the 26 as my flight back is to NYC is on the morining of the 27. If you folks are interested in getting there a few day earlier say on the 23 that would be great. I would enjoy having some mates to party with!

[kliome]

You know I'm in.

Perhaps we can agree on an outward flight and get it booked.

Is everyone OK with April 30th BKK to Phuket?

Looking at the prices Air Asia and Nok Air are about the same price on this date, but Nok Air fly from Don Mueang, so I'd suggest we take an Air Asia flight which goes from Suvarnabhumi (new airport). Or am I wrong? Is it better to fly form the old airport? I think the new airport is closer to Pattaya.

If we were to go on 30th using Air Asia here are our options:

FD 3021 0700 (BKK) 0815 (HKT) Adult
769.00 THB Economy Promo

FD 3033 0750 (BKK) 0920 (HKT) Adult
769.00 THB Economy Promo

FD 3023 1050 (BKK) 1215 (HKT) Adult
769.00 THB Economy Promo

FD 3035 1355 (BKK) 1510 (HKT) Adult
699.00 THB Economy Promo

FD 3031 1525 (BKK) 1645 (HKT) Adult
769.00 THB Economy Promo

FD 3025 1630 (BKK) 1745 (HKT) Adult
1,099.00 THB Economy


I like the look of the 10.50 or 13.55 flights.
