Re: Members online booking system at Springfield.

They have amended the rules slightly, for instance you no longer need to pay in advance and cancellation is now 24 hours. Need to look at the website for full details. However, the number of slots available on certain days (especially for AB) is laughable. Sometimes none at all and sometime nothing ...

Do you mean Oyston or Ollie?

Madam Green

Hi Guys
Can this be shared on the forum rather than by PM please?
Reason I am interested is this place was also mentioned to me a couple of weeks ago by some Malaysian visitors - it is supposed to be quite famous. I was told it is "Auntie Green" in Thai.

Condo Insurance

Following on from the topic about house insurance, can i ask what people do about condo insurance? What needs to be covered and how much should be covered by the condo management (in terms of structure etc). Are there any good companies who specialize in this?

I used to go there from Hong Kong for R& R every few weeks. It is still a nice place but not quite as nice as it used to be. There is a huge amount of development going on (casinos) and anyone who hasn't been for a few years wouldn't recognize the place. It is nice to wander around the old parts...

Its sign-posted, but basically you stay on the Ring Road until you reach the Bangkok-Pattaya Motorway and then joing the Motorway in the Chonburi direction. This si assuming you are comind from the Rama II direction. I'm tr...

Have to agree.
Quality is a little above average (as are the prices). Service is good.

As I will only be resident part year, does anybody know what the deal is with regard to contracts with satellite/cable. Is there a minimum contract period or can you you just stop and start as you like? Anybody had any experience of this?
