Hotel booking

[Interested]

I don't usually book ahead but seeing as Pattaya is probably going to be extra busy I decided I would. The agent is insisting on a second name for the booking. What do you guys usually do?

Hi Interested..

What do you mean by second name, and where are you trying to book?

You mean YOUR surname or the name of your companion?

Stogie...

Thay are asking for the name of my companion. I am trying to book the Pattaya Centre through an agent.

What sort of opinion of your members do you have Stogie? You think I don't know my own surname?!

Well, I'm pretty sure most of us can remember our surnames in an emergency! I thought maybe you were reluctant to reveal it!

Anyway the good news...

Direct bookings for the Pattaya Center hotel!

Dom't use an agent to book here. Go directly to our man Graham at the link above and he will take care of you!

If you don't get confirmation within a day then let me know and I'll call him to nudge it along. He's sometimes forgetful about confirming the bookings!

(Damn doddery old English type!)

That's excellent. Thanks very much, Stogie. I'll let you know if I don't get a reply.

Check out the website in the above post. That will answer your questions.

No - it's not "excellent!" It's a little run down and very old (almost colonial) looking inside and out. I like it, though because of the prices, security and familiarity.

If you book on the link above there is NO joiner fee. There is a nice pool and some nice bars and restaurants inside also. It's peaceful (relatively!) and right smacki in the middle of Beach road!
