Since you are staying for 7-10 days and it's your first trip plus you say you're not that into the sightseeing this time I'd give Bangkok a miss this trip and go straight to If you're looking for the very pretty ones and you're limited on time your best bet would be to hit the Go-Go's, people with current knowlege on the top ones can weigh in there although Happy A-Go-Go and the Superbaby/Supergirl ones are usually always strong. I second the Residence Garden choice, a nice suite hotel not that far from the action, absolutely no problem bringing guests back to the room, even a less obtrusive entrance from the parking stairs to the elevator if you're shy and back before they lock the gate at around 10 P.M. But no one gives a second glance at reception, they've seen it all over the years. Depending on the time of the year their rates range from 1600-2500 but if you mention that you're a member of the FLB message board when you book via email the rate is 1399 per night. Here's a link to the hotel's Web site:

By the way have you been properly welcomed to the board yet?

I'll have our New Member Liaison Officer, the estimable Mack , select an appropriate welcoming gift to make you feel at home. Do you have a favourite colour?

[Classyexec]

Favorite color....hmmm.....well, I like emerald green....I think I like it because it's such a sensual color on asian skin (can you tell why I'm excited to get to pattaya?). so.....what's my newbie welcome gift?

[mack]

P-R has only one major sponsor Classyexec, and that would be Apparelop (www.apparelop.com), the internet's biggest and best online megastore. They've kindly supplied P-R with gifts for selected new members (you!) in exchange for us mentioning them occasionally in our posts.

As you claw your way up the corporate ladder Classyexec, what could be better than to do it with your own personal....Boston Bruins Small Professional Portfolio?!

That's right Classy, this Boston Bruins Small Professional Portfolio is good for....well, let's have our great partners at Apparelop tell you exactly what it's good for:

"This Boston Bruins Small Professional Portfolio is idealistic because of field of force act, or since those little meetings in what place you demand to take a part. Holds and comes in the opinion of small 5x7" fill out of drafts and is made of leather. This small & fitted to go portfolio keeps your act in localise and you sounding tart. Features the team up logotype embossed on the extend. Officially licensed by NHL. Our received take back insurance policy applies on account of this point."


Personally Classyexec, I'd like to feel a tart rather than sound tart, but that's just me. Congratulations on your free gift* and welcome to the board!
































*Please PM Fork Handles, who is responsible this month for all shipping matters for P-R. He will inform you where to send the nominal 1745 baht to cover the mailing costs for your lovely gift.

I notice a couple of people recommending the RG but has anyone stayed there recently? I haven't for a couple of years and when I was last there it was looking a bit tatty and was desperately in need of a refurb. Have they sorted it out now?

For someone who sleeps in cupboards, do you really care gonzo if the paint on the walls has faded some at the R.G.?
