(1)Is there any money changer in dannok?
Yes, but then ringgit can be used without changing to Thai baht and now they will charge a bit more like 100 bahts they will ask for 10.50 "lian" (ringgit). Yes there is money changer there if you need to change other currency like Sing $ or USD.
(2)Is there any shopping centre like those in hatyai in dannok so tat can go walk walk?
Nope there is no shopping centre like Lee Garden nor Central like in Hatyai, not yet maybe
(3)Is there any supermarket for me to buy my snacks,drinks,toiletries or just 7-eleven? Yes....&-Eleven and Pharmacies are available there!
(4)Oliver hotel has any suite? and how much is it?1 of us getting if have so can 3 guy 3 gal go to 1 of the room to play cards(strip poker) and break the ice with the gal to have more chemisty
(5)Is there any Atm machine in dannok?(using posb atm...cirrus or maestro)
Yes....there is one and there is one Malaysian (Maybank ATM) at Duty Free Zone if you need money before 12.00am but then a word of caution that at times the machine may be either out of cash or down.
(6)Is there any safe deposit box in the oliver hotel room?(will be fishing for FL in paragon on first day as reach dannok around 4pm mostly likely all gals gone as it is a sat)
(7)Is there internet access in the oliver hotel? for me to surf my mails.(is it free or charges apply?)
(8)5 yrs ago when i go to hatyai the thai massage gal i can choose and the last time 2-3 yrs ago before tiger stop flying i go the thai massage gal cannot choose liao assign randomly.So in dannok the thai massage gal can choose? or same they randomly assign
Yes....you can choose in Danok......Muatiara.
sorry for bomdarding brothers with so many qns i appreciate any help given here so i say thks in advance.....
i belive a noob like me have these qns other noobs will have queries to some of the qns i have ask so hope these qns will help any furture newbies
First of all, I am a newbie myself and I had never stayed in Oliver so anything related to Oliver Hotel....I passed!
Yes, the best rate for money changing is directly opposite Oscar Hotel. It is in a '7-11' look alike store (at the corner), the counter is right inside. The rates are generally better in Hatyai when changing SGD to Bahts. If you can't change in Hatyai, and taking a taxi direct to Danok, better change in SG.
(2)Is there any shopping centre like those in hatyai in dannok so tat can go walk walk?
NO! If need to walk walk in shopping center, better head back to Hatyai. Shopping in Danok is a big disappointment! In fact, zero day time activities, other then Wat visiting....
(3)Is there any supermarket for me to buy my snacks,drinks,toiletries or just 7-eleven?
7-eleven is about the best Danok can offer!
(4)Oliver hotel has any suite? and how much is it?1 of us getting if have so can 3 guy 3 gal go to 1 of the room to play cards(strip poker) and break the ice with the gal to have more chemisty
Oliver have suite, but not sure the price. Can call +6674301800 to check and book.
(5)Is there any Atm machine in dannok?(using posb atm...cirrus or maestro)
Yes, plenty ATMs with cirrus.
(6)Is there any safe deposit box in the oliver hotel room?(will be fishing for FL in paragon on first day as reach dannok around 4pm mostly likely all gals gone as it is a sat)
Have, not in the room.
(7)Is there internet access in the oliver hotel? for me to surf my mails.(is it free or charges apply?)
No internet access in Oliver. Can walk out and cross the streets, there is an internet cafe.
(8)5 yrs ago when i go to hatyai the thai massage gal i can choose and the last time 2-3 yrs ago before tiger stop flying i go the thai massage gal cannot choose liao assign randomly.So in dannok the thai massage gal can choose? or same they randomly assign
If you want to choose better go to Oscar Hotel, Satit. Not sure about Oliver Massage, last time I went cannot choose, now not sure.
Bro, your relpies power man, also thank you to Thailord, his replies also power. You 2 same person? or brothers in cheonging?

Glad to see more bros are sharing..... thanks alot to Thailord ..n ...etct88...n...all others.

Thank you e88......
We are definitely not the same person as etch88 as he is "The Silent Cash God " of Thailand and secondly, I got more hair than him.....hehe!
For the budget wise, well, don't under estimated the "puying" power as one night can easily spend RM1,500 and somemore go back PCC.....!
Yes, but then ringgit can be used without changing to Thai baht and now they will charge a bit more like 100 bahts they will ask for 10.50 "lian" (ringgit). Yes there is money changer there if you need to change other currency like Sing $ or USD.
When they start charge RM10.50 for 100 bahts? I just back from there on 18th Dec 2009, still RM10=ThB100 leh...
Nothing change..
