    Air Asia from OZ

    Flown from Melb with them 4 or 5 times...no issues. You usually have to book well ahead (12 months) to get super cheap fares. I have a ticket in March for $350 return so can't complain, but again, purchased 12 months prior.

    Phachara Suites

    Stayed there a few times and really liked it. My only complaint was occasional inconsiderate Arab families making a racket when coming and going. Can't they control and discipline their kids? Do you need to yell to your friends 3 rooms down? Use the friggin phone or walk lazy ass!!

    which hotel to choose?

    How long is a piece of string? Plenty of options. What is your budget? Low/mid range would be Nana, Dynasty, Majestic (not sure about the window). Mid range - Dawin (one of my preferences). More expensive - Phachara (my other preference), Dynasty Grande, Boss Suites, Majestic Grande, Landmark..........

    Dawin Hotel ( Updated 2014)

    Its a fair walk to Cowboy. About 15-20 minutes using the Soi 6 short cut to avoid Nana (which is less than a 5 minute walk). Its one stop on the Sky Train Nana - Asoke). No chance of getting a guest to walk back so the only option with company is a mototaxi if you are game or a taxi.

    Online Flight bookings - who do you use?

    Have you considered a cheap Jetstar flight (or a relatively cheap QF/NZ) and then Jetstar/Air Asia/Scoot from the East Coast, or is it still too much hassle? I've often flown from Melbourne for $400-$500 return so it could be an option, although I could see how connecting and whatnot would be annoying.

    Online Flight bookings - who do you use?

    I've used bestflights too. Others are jetabroad, skyscanner and travel.com.au Whenever I find a price I check it directly against the airlines website as often it is the same (or slightly cheaper).

    Bangkok to Pattaya

    Its all negotiable. What ever the final price will be, specify with whoever you book with if the price includes tolls or not. If its a different driver than who you booked with, and quite often it is, specify with the driver the price with/without tolls. I generally use one of the touts on Soi 4 and book the day before. Generally the price is 900/1000 without tolls and 1000/1100 with tolls.

    I like it. Clean, good location, friendly staff, LB friendly, and the LB's like it.

    Lb Friendly Hotels

    I'm looking at The Dawin and the Dynasty Grande.....similar price and facilities but can't decide. Has anyone stayed at both and can compare. I heard the pool at Dynasty Grande gets absolutely no sun. Cheers.
