Dancewatchers have been renting condos out particularly in the VT buildings for years Dave. Some very nice one's in VT6. They have a website.

Binlid Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Sorry Dave at work, yes as Stew said he has been doing it for at least 16 years, his wife Tik looks after the day to day running. Just wondering if Dance watcher was maybe his forum name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want more choices other than View Talay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have had some great apartments in Hua Hin off the site over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for somebody local that specializes in Pattaya/Jomtien area (again similar to DanceWatchers agency). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I arrived at swampy back in October the phone companies had kiosks set up in the baggage claim hall. As my luggage hadn't made it to the belt, I sorted my sim out, then collected my luggage, then went through customs. Dont know if they're still set up there, but if you're through immigrant quickly you might be able to get sim cards sorted at swampy... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizondave Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Well, about 150 days for me. 15 September leaving LHR. Got a business class ticket on Finnair for London to Helsinki to London with a Premium Economy flight Helsinki Bangkok Helsinki. The business class ticket cost me miles plus £64 but that was covered by a EUR90 gift Finnair voucher. Only paid the taxes on the Helsinki Bangkok return which was £38, miles paid for the fare.. Got window seats all flights, so well happy, was expecting to pay extra for seats but having looked at what they have given me, I am happy. The Premium Economy on Finnair looks good on the A350, only 3 rows and I am seated at the window with only one next to me. Thankfully, I don't need to pay for drinks (only Champagne which I don't like) so should be a good flight. Have flown on their A350 in economy and I really enjoyed that experience. Before my Helsinki to Bangkok flight I will have paid 6000 miles for lounge access. Won't bother at Bangkok, although I believe I can use the Miracle Lounge for a charge but believe people don't think that a great lounge. I like to sit in Starbucks and the flight is at 0735, way too early to worry about a lounge.. Probably just doing 10 days in Hua Hin as need to get my driving licences sorted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
