ok SBK point well taken. now as far as I know typhoon Gay was the only typhoon that hit Thailand with real typhoon speed winds (i just looked it up on google). Actually all the rest just confirms what I said and especially typhoons rarely (not never) hit Thailand or even form in the Gulf of Thailand.

Mostly they are simply remnants entering thailand through our neighbour VN.

If you look at the average tropical season, Thailand is RARELY in any danger of being hit by a real typhoon, like Burma by the way, and we all know what happened there. If you wanna know instead of picking me on my words follow a metereology course (like I did) and you would know a little more abt the dynamics that create typhoons and why they go where they go or not go.

I do really understand the lack of knowledge of MOST people on tropical weather systems and Thailand is never hit by one, just by some remnants.

By the time it hits Thailand it is not a typhoon, not a tropical storm, at most a tropical depression but most likely just a remnant low.

Here a link with the latest satelite photo of this "system" . http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/track...200826_sat.html

By the way, people talking abt landfall should think again, as it already made landfall in VN and is traveling over land. If this, (by then non system) emerges over the Gulf of Thailand, there is no chance of re-intensification as it lacks the dynamics at that moment.

Now I am not a meteorologist either, but i have weathered out both Hurricane Gustav and Ike in the Gulf of Mexico this year and seen the onshore devestation both of these hurricanes have caused. I can assure you for 100% sure there will be no such event with this sytem in Thailand at all.

Rain and a breeze is all you're gonna get and maybe even nothing at all.

why is a shaded pool a good thing ? The water is too cold and you can't get a tan!

OMG you got it rented out to martians

Well i am offshore at a construction vessel at the moment, where there is no alcohol at all. I am sipping on a great diet 7*UP. Shit, but c'est la vie. Normally though when i am back in bkk, i'm on wodka tonic most of nights, and not just a bit (making up for lost times here offshore )

Well,... im still not really familar with bangkok.

What I found out is that they rise up with prices if you dont take 1 yr.

However, you can catch the BTS staying dry, just walking trough Silom Complex.

But hey, any hints are welcome

You're willing to pay 30,000 baht just to stay dry? You could get a 1,000 baht room and never go out, you'll stay dry then too

Internet in the room ? Do you have a map of the exact location of the room ?

you can get antibiotics in Thailand over the counter, unlike for example in Europe where you need a prescription. I know people who think if they take one pill of let's say Amoxicillyn they won't get an STD after unprotected sex!

All it actually does is make bacteria immune to these medications!

Oooops what is with people in Bangkok and not smoking! All in all i think 27,000 is very reasonable for the location but i am a happy smoker and don't have any intention of quitting any time soon

Well with that budget all you apparently do is eat, be online the whole day in a remotely located apartment and drink a few beers every night called nightlife. Sure it's possible but you won't have much of a life!

it's a great location but the price ? Does the room have internet ? I guess 25,000 would be max.
