Hey Rumboy,welcome to the board...Is it your first time to Thailand?
I should be there end Nov yahooooooo
Enjoy LOS,i know i do....

[Oasis]

Hey Mark, I see your a AFL supporter and your in to V8 Super Cars. Based on this I reckon your a top bloke. Bad luck about having to leave your job to travel but I reckon you and the tg's will make sure it was worth it. I'll be in LOS from 31st October for 4 weeks, first 2 weeks in BKK then maybe Phuket. If your out and about and want to have a beer pm me...............

Cheers

Welcome to the board Rumboy, too bad you couldn't get time off, but there will always be another job. Thailand is great and i'm sure you will enjoy your holiday.

It depends on what you really want to do. If that was me i would head phuket for a week... Bangkok for a few days and then work my way up north and spend some time up there... As your already planning on going to BKK and Pattaya then take a flight from Pattaya to phuket or consider going to Hua Hin or Ko Samui. There is a lot of good advice on here... Spend a lot of time reading and then make your mind up. Whatever you decide have a good one tho

I'd get cracking if you want to stay at CSB in mid November. Popular place.

Failing that, Hotel Orchid Residence is next door - that is where I am staying for my visit

As far as I know, CSB is full for that time. I am there roughly the sam period and got the last room. You can try sending them an email. If full then just follow Bello Uomo's advise.

Hello Rumboy,

CSB is perfect located but also very popular, so there is a possibility it's full. Ferb guesthouse is quite new, it opened about 1,5 year ago. It's run by a scandinavian guy and his girlfriend (Bernd and Tuki) (at least the last time I was there). They showed me the rooms and they where superb and had a much better price then CSB. But the location is a little bit away from the action in a little side soi off Nanai rd. But on the other hand I think it's about 10 min walking to Bangla Rd and 25THB by motor taxi. You can look at my review in "BM opinions to hotels/guesthouses"

Cheers,

Raval

Welcome 2 the board guy.

I'll be in Patts on 7 Nov. Will be at Classroom around 6pm looking at all the finr women and drinking like there's no tomorrow.

I'll be the one in the baseball cap and shades

If Summer Breeze is full, I would recommend Orchid residence, Hotel Swiss Garden, or Yorkshire Inn. All are on the same street as Summer Breeze, within 2 minute walk to Bangla Rd. Have a great time.
