    Have to give them a try the next time I am in Pattaya

    I quoted uber for the ride from the airport to Pattaya and they quoted 1,560 baht. I won't use them for that since I can easily get that ride for 1,000 baht including tolls

    To be honest uber and grab are only good for going around town not long distance like to the airport
    normal taxis are 1000 baht your right

    Uber definitely the way to go, the past couple of weeks had a friend in the hospital in a part of the capital I wasn't familiar with, the first time I went there I used the Boca Chica taxi Mafia, cost 1,500 Rd each way although they did wait for me up to 2 hrs. So total cost was 3,000 Rd.

    Next time I went to the same hospital and with the same two hours wait by Uber it was 1,600 pesos total cost round trip, basically half the cost.

    More impressive than that, the Uber guy had given me his personal number, so was able to contact him directly, which I did often during my friend's stay in the hospital. On one of the trips I used him for 9 hours, picked me up at 9:30 am didn't get back to Boca until after 5 pm, he was with me the whole day, which included multiple stops to get blood at various blood banks, my friend had a rare type so not all places had his type, plus had to go get his blood analyzed at a lab etc., All told a real long day, of course I fed the Uber driver at Burger King, but when we got to Boca, total cost was 3,000 pesos. An incredible deal! Especially considering all the stops etc, can't even imagine how much it would have cost via Mafia.

    By the way before anyone asks, my friend did eventually die, but he had no family here, so I was the only one that could run the errands etc.

    So to bump this, I'm looking at flights / asking for time off. My dates are 15th - 25th (approximate, big 40 is on the 23rd). I see Essex has 19th - 28th what are others thinking? Who is in? I'd be down for some days in the capitol probably, maybe some sight seeing.

    I was thinking Garant, but that Costa Linda price point is damn nice. Anyone stayed there in past?

    Reserved King at Garant just to be sure for the 15th through 25th since no charge is needed. If you want the King, you have to beat Hunter to it!

    Still thinking about Casa Linda though big price difference

    It is actually Costa Linda not Casa Linda and the name has been changed from Madjera, new ownership.

    Has the Europa reopened (under the same or a new name) as well?

    It's a shame to see such conveniently located properties go to waste.
