Hi Ashley,

I thought I was going to be there all alone too! Seems like there might be one or two of us around. Good news.

I'm paying 1400 at Patong Villa (I can afford it, it's my holiday and I like the place) I had a good chat with them by email to sort out the details and just re-confirm that I can do all the things I want to do there, if you know what I mean Surasak who you will deal with on line is always very helpful and will always iron out any niggling doubts you may have. There is no 'joiners' fee.

They let me pick my room (Poolside) and if it isn't busy when you get there, they may just bump you up a grade of room if you smile broadly and ask!

I still always keep copies of emails from any hotel that have promised there will be no charge for this, no charge for that. You can always wave it under thier nose if you find it all on your bill at the end of your stay. If that happens, Surasak will sort it.

So there you have it Ashley, if I am face down in the pool, don't tap too hard!! I may be practising my ancient Lancastrian Martial art of "Breath-through-the-ears' in preparation for some serious rug munching in the early eve!

Just clink two bottles of Tiger together and I'll hear ya! Take care Ash!
