Keep the reports coming, Bob. I get up every morning and turn on fodors.com hoping to have a posting from you. I'm soooooo jealous that you are there, and I'm NOT!!!

Bob, What are you doing for airport transfers in LP? How do you like the Pansea?

yes the NWA flight from narita too bkk is good since the have tv and game councel in back of all seats.. hell I was playing salitair and was hopping the flight would take a bit longer till i won..

but the USA-tokyo rout still hell.. I'm leagaly blind and cant see the crapy movies they show on those monitors that fall from the cealing..

rhknk your a strange fellow.. you find the NW economy class flight from logan to bkk confortable but cangt handle a yellow and green from the airport to the swiming pool..

have fun and dont' get too wet..

Have a wonderful time -- know you will. Looking forward to your reports, especially LP. If you have a chance, and check out some of the other hotel options that Craig and others have been posting about, we'd love to hear. Kathie & Hobbes had mentioned Auberge Calao, which is in town I think. If you happen upon it, let us know what you think. Enjoy, enjoy!

Bob, The reason I was asking about airport transfers is that my family of 6 will be there in a couple of months. The Pansea charges by the person ($6) as opposed to by the car. $36 seemed a bit steep. Did you notice if cabs were readily available at the airport? Also, would love to know how you like the Pansea. The other place which we thought about was the Maison Souvannaphon (sp???), which is a relatively new place. I think it may be the only place which is actually in town with a pool. Hope you have a great time.

Bob, I hope you're having a great time in LP. I'll be going in July or August. If you happen to pass by any of these hotels and feel in the mood to peek in, could you please give us your valuable feedback?

I'm very interested in knowing about:
Villa Santi (is the original past its prime?)
3 Nagas
Le Calao
Satri House
Maison Souvannaphoum (Colors of Angsana)
These last two are right next to each other I think, but not in the old historic district.

Looking forward to your LP report!
