Another Virgin Poster......

Hi to all BM's,

Yep, another "first time" poster saying hello from Australia.

Looking forward to going to LOS in October. I just booked my accommodation yesterday at the summer breeze in Patong (Penthouse Suite) for 14 days (having read many posts about the place im hoping, and confident ive selected a good place to stay). Like everyone else on here, i cant wait to go and experience Phuket (similar to this post, its going to be my 'first time' in LOS).

Look forward to reading more about the experiences and brilliant stories from you all.

Cheers
Andy

cheers db.

Having stubbed across this forum, i basically read about loads of places and that seems to be a real crowd pleaser on this site, so i have a lot of faith in the BM's and im sure it will be everything i hope it will......and more!!

really happy with the price too and the prompt reply from the hotel!

big thumbs up so far.

You should be honored. "Hi" and "WTTB" all in one post. That is a lot of typing 5555

Welcome here.
Penthouse suite for two weeks, looks like you are planning on a grand entry.

I am sure you will enjoy Phuket as mush as I hope to enjoy your coming trip report.

BTW Initiation around here is not too bad .... it is when you check out of the suite early, hump dogs, don't wear a shirt, fail to pay the girls, ask how much for LT/ST, etc. that you will feel it.

PS. If find out how much LT is send me a PM.

Nope a Summer Suite which I thought was great and booked one again.(I had better be careful on the good reviews or I will never be able to get a room there 55555) I think maybe a current BM is staying in that room now and at least one other just recently also.

yes i feel both releaved and honoured...i wasnt shot down in flames early on.

thought it was best to come on and say hello first instead of asking a thousand questions that have been asked a million times before.

ill use the "search" function and see if i can track down any info on the penthouse.

cheers
andy

Andyb76, no i didnt use the pool when i was there last trip. I think the pool is opened from 10am onwards, remember to take the Voucher from the reception and your towel.

Not sure about a bar there or not, others will be able to answer you on that. Cheers.

You're welcome. I wanted to go earlier, but the girls at the reception said the pool doesn't open so early, so i went to the beach instead.

Welcome, I will also be a guest at Summer Breeze for the first time next week, Summer Suite, so I'm also hoping that the BM's that have been bragging about the hotel are right.

was pretty bad. closed both bridges at one point, the state emergency service guys were going crazy and i i think a couple of people may have even died from walls collapsing on them from the wind.

bit better today, but cooler though.
