more June was a terrible month with frequent interruptions.
Our guest are enjoying the not crowded pools.
July 2009* After a fully booked June, it seems that July is going to be equally busy!
Our boss David is taking for a beach break with his kids! Enjoy!
Only few openings for next season remain, we regret very much to have to turn down many requests by people booking late.
Our kitchen crew has now been with us for 3 months. They are doing a fine job, not bad for not having a clue about Falang food when they arrived first from Chiang Rai. They are are getting a lot of compliments and Meow is not far to make up for the occasional mistakes by the staff, often caused by communication problems.
Approaching 2 years of successful operation, "Diana-Oasis"would like to extend a great Thank-YOU !!!! to all our guests, especially our residents that support us daily and make the OASIS such a pleasant and popular meeting point!
Aug. 2009* Unfortunately once more, we have to let our 2 cooks go. Their constant personal problems and aggressive fighting during work started affecting the rest of our team and we decided to make that move. We are training a new kitchen team and will be back with our usual good, quality and affordable food in a few days. This does not affect room customers & breakfasts and *Oasis* is open with our friendly staff for drinks, coffee, snacks and daily more food choices. Thanks for your support. ** Restaurant up and running!!!!

Our Restaurant is a popular meeting point for residents and visitors and our staff is
a funny bunch.
Our brand new rooms with all amenities are a great addition to the Estate. We strive
to provide good and friendly service and like to see happy customers. Many of them
have been coming back several times already.
Fone, our new Chef, is doing a fine job and bringing some of her Cypress experience to
create great Greek dishes. Please allow sufficient time for cooking (especially during
rush hour /high season), all food is prepared freshly!
Thank you Heinz for the fine chocolate!
Oct. 2009* HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANA-OASIS 2nd. anniversary!

booked into spring.
Dec. 2009* In the middle of high season. Lots of good people in Oasis Restaurant, enjoying good
food and drinks at very fair prices. Just acquired a couple more studios and refurbished
them, so we have some selective openings for the season. Please book early, we hate to
tell you, we are full! Please be patient with your food during "rush-hour"! Anything goes
wrong, remember we are in Thailand! We will make up for it! Tell our cashier or
manageress! Please order clearly and repeat, to avoid mistakes or speak Thai, then
there won't be any trouble!
Jan. 2010* New...Just installing a "Load Balanced" Hotspot-WIFI system with 10MB Premium! But,
don't forget! This is Thailand and there will always be interruptions or slowdowns with
internet service. We do our best to upgrade whenever there is new technology! BTW -
Most of the problems turn out to be problems with the customer's computer or the
external Internet connection. This is out of our control! Sorry!
Also, we can not setup or fix your computer! Sorry!
Still very busy and already getting many bookings for the summer holidays and next
season, starting October 2010! The new kitchen team doing great! Lots of compliments
for our good food for great value! Soon we will start a regular barbecue!
New "Double-Load-Balanced WIFI" in place!
Febr. 2010* New....Our prices are based on the 1 breakfast policy! We are now offering the **couple's
option** - you can get (latest at check-in with manager Meow!) an additional
full breakfast at 60 Baht/day or 1'800 Baht/month only! This option is only available for
couples checking in together (staying in our studios), only for full duration of stay and
no exceptions, refunds, special deals etc. possible!
New....Barbecue @ Oasis! Enjoy quality grilled sausages, fillet medallions and more!
Thank you for the many nice comments, reports and postcards on the Oasis Restaurant.

An additional Hotspot/Access-Point installed and the system has been working reliable and stable for 4 weeks now. We now cover most of Diana-Estate.
Thank you Pumpui (Heinz) for the fine Swiss Chocolate!
May 2010* 2 1/2 years oparating and only now Meow, our popular manager gets a well derved break
and will travel home for some days. A rare find in Thailand, indeed!
No political trouble in Pattaya. Just give Bangkok a miss!
Diana-Oasis still fully booked and restaurant busy as usual. Thanks to all our customers!
We appreciate your business.
June 2010* Diana-Oasis, no joiner fees - no prejudice - semi=private residence hotel access with
good security and free safe parking. In 10 years inside Diana-Estate no motor bike thefts,
which are very common in Pattaya.
July 2010* New, complete CCTV allover Estate, we are keeping up to date with technical possibilities
to provide you with best possible security.
New! Free barbecue every last Friday of the month. Everybody welcome!
Old! We are still best value for money, also in our garden restaurant. Please ask for your
personal 10% discount card valid for Thai & European dishes.
Hot season....Watch out for your electric bill in rooms or studios with up to 18 year old
monster air-conditioners. They are likely to be double or triple what you pay with Diana-
Oasis! All our rooms with modern and economical Daikin units. They get also cleaned and
serviced regularly.
And once more. Thank you Heinz for the great chocolate!
The second "Free Barbecue" filled the house again with regulars and room customers.
Next one Friday August 27th! Please join us!
Aug. 2010* Another very long and annoying period of non-stop trouble with ADSL. Very common in the
over-developed Pattaya. This time the central area is affected with hundreds of accounts o
out for hours and days. Since we are pretty much helpless and at the mercy of the
providers, itis very frustrating for us and for our customers. We have once more decided to
invest in another upgrade to our system, which has its own server, hot-spot software and a
double load balanced routing unit. On Mon August 2. we ordered a separate line with CAT
(At moment the most reliable provider) and we expect this account to be working from Aug.
11th.
We then have 3 providers, which should keep us going, even when others are offline.
For people who are very mobile and want to take their laptop to the beach or islands: You
can get very affordable air-card/USB-Sticks, re-loadable at minimal cost and reasonable
speed. Meow can advise you on current promotions.
Thank you Mikhael Awad for the fine chocolate!
CAT direct ADSL line in and working combined with Maxnet Premium load balance. First
tests look good.
If your private line is down, come have a coffee and surf with Oasis-Hot-Spot
We hope that with this double system we can prevent the typical Pattaya ADSL outages.
Additional Hot-Spot for extended coverage coming soon. Not staying with us? No problem,
you can still get internet- access tickets at Oasis-Restaurant.
A short 1 night glitch with the Hot-Spot system, the software company reset the system
by error remotely. We should now have the most advanced system and most reliable
providers available at the moment. Thanks for your patience.
Thank you Reto for these very special strawberries & the Swiss honey! You are the man!
Free Barbecue for all August 27th. from 16.30!
Sept. 2010* Check out our new page "Recommendations". You might find something that interests you.
We start out with a great team of young dentists, just 2 minutes from Diana-Oasis. Find
details @ Recommendations
Another Full-House at the Free Barbecue on Sept. 24.
Oct. 2010* 3rd. Anniversary! Diana-Oasis says THANK YOU! to all our room & restaurant customers.
Our yearly staff excursion and "extra-cleaning" behind us. Our room customers please
use your voucher for a full meal for the missed breakfast! Thanks for your understanding.
The new Oasis-Hot-Spot working great and fast. Free for all customers, small fee for non-
customers. Good bandwidth for fast surfing.
Next *Free Barbecue* on October 29. You are Welcome!
Thanks **Pumpui** for your always tasty sweets! Great Chocola!
Oasis-Hotspot working reliable. Wifi available also for non-customers. Come see us @
Oasis-Restaurant and talk to Meow or the cashier.
Another full-house & great free Barbecue. Next one end of November for all our customers
of Hotel & Restaurant. Welcome.
High season in full swing. A bit cool at moment, pleasant to sit in our garden restaurant
and have a coffee or a very affordable meal.
Thank you for the many mails we receive, praising our manager Meow & her staff.
Thank you Pumpui (Heinz) for the fine chocolate. We love it!
Nov. 2010* Herzlichen Dank an Brigitte und Horst fuer den spontanen Einsatz und die lehrreiche
Stunde in Abflussrohr-Montage. Einmal mehr deutsche Wertarbeit. Nun hoffen wir, dass die
lieben Thai etwas daraus lernen.
Thank you to all our guest who write us with any kind of feedback. It is great to read the
the very positive mails and we are happy to have so many repeat customers and friends
all year round.
Please see Meow for any problems, she will do her best to correct them asap. Don't
forget, TIT and things are not as easy and fast as we sometimes wish.
4 months with our new WIFI system. Very reliable and fast. Free for our customers!
First reservations being made for next year / season 2011. Book early, you can always
change, especially longer term best reserved very early!
Thank you Frank for the tasty American chocolate! You give the Swiss a run.....
Our manager must adhere to the advertised discount program for longer stays.We must
and want to be fair to all our guest.
Prices from October 2011:
By October 2011 we have been operating for 4 years and we will have to adjust our
prices slightly for the first time, due to the ever increasing cost. The increase is only
2- 5% (depending on room-type) and covers just about 1 year's inflation.
We will continue with our discount card for Oasis-Restaurant with great food and the
best prices around. You will enjoy the tropical outdoor seating on the pool. We are
happy to serve you in your room or on the pool.
As usual we provide free WIFI, 1 free full breakfast, and option for couple's breakfast at
cost. Please see all details @ http://www.diana-oasis.com/room-rates.html
Great food at small prices in Diana-Oasis garden restaurant! Get your free Discount card
and a full meal will cost you only 140 Baht!
For once a few more serious words: Whilst we all hope, everybody staying here in
Thailand for just a vacation or for retirement and long-term, can enjoy Thailand without
any kind of emergencies, accidents or health-problems....We must remind you, that good
medical care has become very expensive in Thailand and without cash $ or a good
insurance plan you might end up in a public hospital in case of an emergency. We speak
from experience and strongly advise anybody to have good insurance coverage. We are
always happy to keep a copy of your policy and/or emergency contacts on file.
We hope, we will never need to use them, but unfortunately this is not always the case
and we have had our share of sad cases.
Enjoy life - It is later than you think!
Dec. 2010* NEW! Diana-Oasis - as a service to our customers - provides an emergency form, which
lists your next of kin, emergency contacts, insurance information and more, if you should
be victim of an accident or similar emergency. Again, we all hope, nobody is confronted
with such a situation during his vacation, but they do happen and your life can depend on
being prepared. Your records are kept safely and confidential.
Please see Meow for more information. Do not count on your Embassy in any case,
they are slow and their actions very limited, often there is no action at all. Believe us,
You don't want to end up in a Thai Government Hospital.
We are always happy to help you within our possibilities.
**Please make your reservations early, especially long-term, we have many regulars and
hate to disapppoint anybody. First come, first serve....
Bitte reservieren Sie fruehzeitig, wir haben sehr viele regelmaessige Gaeste und moechten
niemanden enttaeuschen. Dies gilt vor allem fuer Langzeitbuchungen und spezielle
Zimmerwuensche. First come...first serve...**
Warning! Warning! In the last 10 days, 7 people staying in Diana-Estate, have fallen victim
to various ATM scams, being perpetrated here on Soi Boukao. One of the criminals is
described a short dark-skinned male, probably Algerian, initially wearing a bike helmet. The
second one as a arab/darkish male in his forties, tall and heavyset.
Their scam is "Hello, you left some money in the ATM, handing you a 100 or 1000 Baht bill
Baht bill....Do not go back to the ATM, or let the guy get close to you. He might already have
skimmed your card and will be trying to get your PIN. There is too many variations to
explain them here in detail...... Be alert if ANYBODY approaches you near an ATM.
Update: 1 of the gang has been arrested as he tried to ripp-off an Englisman on Soi Diana
Inn. The group, Algerian looking is still active!
Watch this:
ATM Scam1 ATM Scam2 ATM Scam3 ATM Scam4
** We are sad to inform you, that Gil Hopson, one of our long-stay guest, known and liked
by all of us, has passed away after short illness. Gil choose to stay with us until the last
minute and Meow and a private nurse, as well as others from the Oasis Team took good
care of him during his last days. We will remember Gil as a caring and lovely guy!**
Thanks to Meow for helping Gil so much!
We all wish Jean(Hans) Schaad the best in his fight against cancer and hope to have
him in our midst again soon.
Also our best wishes to Paul H. in England! Come back soon!
** A special THANK YOU to Kevin Kitch, who never stops improving the looks and services
of the Estate and always supports a good idea and makes things happen, that others have
given up already!
Thank you Uli for the Swiss chocolate and the cervelat!
Oasis WIFI system flawless for 5 months already, thanks to our load balanced and
multiple provider system. We are online when others are off!!! We keep updating as new
hardware becomes available and we have ordered a few additional access-points already
to improve signal strength in dead-spots. All our studios have Free WIFI!
**No restaurant serves quality, tasty food at our great prices. Give us a try. All our food is
prepared fresh, please be a little patient during rush hours. Ask for our Discount card and
make sure you hand it to our staff, when you claim your free meal!
With our manager Meow personally supervising the kitchen and also filling in for cooks,
our food is consistently good. Thank you for the many compliments we are getting!
Please don't forget that you are in Thailand and if you don't speak enough Thai, please
speak basic, simple English, point out your order if you feel staff did not understand you.
Some of the Swiss/English-German/English and certain dialects are very hard to
understand for the staff, even for native English speakers. They are dealing with around
15 different nationalities and this must be confusing and difficult.
Be assured, Meow will correct problems. We are not the typical Thai place...We care...
Reminder.....24.12. 16.30 - 21.00 Free Barbecue!
We wish Colin a safe trip home and Merry Christmas with his family. You are e very friendly
and positive guy and we are all happy to see you soon again. Colin is handicapped and in a
wheelchair, but many of us could learn from this man about having a positive attitude
towards life and his fellow human beings. You have always treated our staff with respect
and friendliness, even when little mistakes happened. Thank you!
Thank you to all our friends & guest for a great Christmas barbecue and the little
and big gifts our staff received from many of you. Defintely an allaround smiley staff today!
We hope to see you all again next year!
25.12. a great Swiss Fondue, organized by Chef Ueli Roethlisberger!
Ein wunderbares Fondue, komplett organisiert mit allem Drum und Dran, von Kuechen-
chef Ueli Roethlisberger. Thank you so much for a very special evening.
Thanks for the ever tasty and calming Ferrero chocolates, Brigitte & Horst! Thinking of you
every-time we eat 1!
We wish the several friends and guest who are ill and/or in the hospital all the Best and
fast recovery.
****A HAPPY & HEALTHY 2011 to everybody****

bookings for next season. We are filling up fast. We are a Residence Hotel with

many times cheaper than in Western countries. Things do go wrong and will go wrong.
Murphy's Law
Our little difference: We are always working to improve and we (Meow) will take
care of any complaints and make good. Thanks!
We get many "great" ideas what could be added to the menu, what additional
services could be provided and more. Thank you, BUT......Most of the people are not
at all aware how much effort it takes to run a reasonable and reliable operation in this
country. Things are soooooooo different and so much more complicated than in any
Western place. We welcome ideas, but most of them have been thought of before and
most of them are just not doable.
**Heinz (Pumpui) ist wieder bei uns und verwoehnt uns mit Schweizer Schoki.
Dankeschoen.
**Thanks to Frank from the Sunshine State of Florida for the Sweet Surprise!
** Our advertised prices are considered very fair for the services we provide. They are
structured with a discount for extended stays. We want to be fair with everybody and we
can not give extra discounts, special deals, etc. The manager is not allowed to
to negotiate prices. Thank you for your understanding.
After your first month stay, partial month are calculated fair and correct pro/rata.

** Unsere Preisliste reflektiert Discounts fuer laengere Aufenthalte (Tag/Monat). Wir wollen

Discounts vereinbaren. Dies gilt auch fuer Fruehstuecksabmachungen. Wir offerieren fuer

Angebrochene Monate werden korrekt pro rata abgerechnet nach dem ersten vollen
Monat.
Sie duerfen bei uns gerne Wasser- & Strom-Meter kontrollieren.
Diana-Oasis Restaurant:Fri 28.1. Free Barbecue for all guest!
***A Thank You to all our great guests. A little reminder: For 18 years, this
small Estate coffee shop did not well at all. It is very difficult to run a business within
an Estate, off the road, without the possibility to draw customers passing by.
We have known from the beginning, that this beautiful garden-setting would never make
a real profit, but our philosophy was and is, to establish a friendly meeting point with good
coffee, drinks, breakfasts and tasty, fresh and affordable food for our great Estate.
With your help and support we have succeeded!
Diana-Oasis has become a meeting point for many nationalities, we
even have many regulars from outside the Estate. We have also created jobs with full
social security and insurance for a great young team, which prefers not to work in a bar
and go the easy way.
The reception for our studios it within the restaurant! After hours, please get your keys
at the Estate 24/7 reception, as well for any emergencies please notify them.
Please come and see us for a coffee, a snack or a full Thai or European meal at
unbeatable prices. Everybody welcome.
** There finally is a catamaran ferry service from Pattaya-HuaHin. Ideal for a few days
break from busy Pattaya. Info with Meow!
Please feel free to pick up your DVD's for the night at Oasis, free for all customers. It
is on honor system and we expect them back after viewing. Kindly leave DVD's and books
you don't want to keep after your vacation for other guests!
**A reminder: Thailand blocks many webistes, up to 40'000! Our system up flawless for
8 months!
***Yes, quiet a few people already have left their emergency contacts and health insurance
details with us. This way we have some basic information in case of severe illness or
accidents and can help you more efficient in case of an emergency. They do happen,
unfortunately and you don't want to be caught without good health insurance. The average
daily charge in an ICU unit is about 60'000 Baht, trauma or other major surgeries can run
anywhere from 250'000 - 2 Mio!
***Another great barbecue on Friday 28.1.11.
Unfortunately free food keeps attracting the wrong people, too nowhere more than in
Pattaya. We call them freeloaders in English or Ballonfahrer in German. So we might
have to reconsider the future structure of our **Free Barbecue** and maybe go "invitation
only"!
***Einmal mehr! Vorsicht mit Krankenversicherungen. Immer wieder geraten naive Leute,
die denken, man komme weg mit einer Billigversicherung oder gar ohne Versicherung, in
massive Schwierigkeiten. Wir kennne viele solche trauerige Faelle. Nach wie vor ist eine
lange bestehende, gute Auslandversicherung von/ in Ihrem Heimatland die beste Wahl.
Gute internationale, sog. Expats-Versicherungen kosten mind. 5000-8000$ / Jhr. ohne
USA Deckung. Vermeiden Sie sg. Gruppenversicherungen, die haeufig erst ihre eigenen
Interessen abdecken, bevor Patienteninteressen via Rueckversicherung wahrgenommen
werden.
Ein Spitalaufenthalt hier in Thailand kann sehr schnell sehr teuer werden. Sprechen Sie
mit unserem Staff, die Ihnen wertvolle Hinweise zur Wahl geben koennen.
**** HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOEBI ****

We are happy to have you with us!
Sorry, no freeloaders, we still have 1 or 2, who never even show up for a cup of coffee during the month, but never miss to load up on free food without being embarrassed. One of them even bringing his own bottle of water. The ultimate Cheap-Charlie, so to say! We will get him a medal!

factory experience and know very well the difference.

happy to have you back with us dear Hans!
March 2011 ***Already in March, but still very busy, also the beaches seem to slow down, with many
Russians gone. We are still fully booked and must say, we have a very pleasant and
and nice customer base by now.
Over 65% repeat customers this season - Unfortunately we had to say "Sorry Full"
to many, many inquires and unfortunately also to some repeat customers, who were
late with their bookings. We are very sorry for this.
***All the Best to our friends in Queensland. May they be strong and get back on their

***An always hot question with Thai hotels. "How do you charge extra days on a monthly
stay?" There is only one correct answer for us @ Oasis: We charge the pro rata rate of
your monthly fee! Why would we punish a long-term customer by charging him the
a higher daily rate, if he stays some extra days!? We want you to be happy and come
back.
I.e.: Let us assume you stay with us at a monthly rate of 15'000 + E/W and your stay
exceeds the month by 4 days, the bill will be done that way: 15'000 : 30 X 4 days - The
4 days extra will be charged at 2000 Baht total + E/W.
***We have just now reduced the security deposit to 5000 Baht, fully refundable. In 3.5 yrs.
we had NO disagreements with any customers about damages or such. There were a
few minor incidents, which can and will happen. If an accident happens, we will
resolve this together with our guest in a fair manner without any extra charges or rip-
offs. The occasional broken (dropped) remote, a damaged or lost towel or similar
will be replaced at the lowest cost possible with the original bill provided.
A compliment to Meow, who has not had 1 wrong booking since the beginning and
always works with our guests to find the best solution for their stay with us.
Please let us know asap. if your booking changes or you have to cancel for some
reason!
Please do understand, Thailand has a very different numbers and date system from
ours, so calculations etc. will take a little longer. Still easier than for all of us learning
and understanding their system....
***We know best that Thailand is getting more expensive every day. Food prices have
sky-rocketed the last 2 years, salaries, and utilities go up every year, gas goes up
but...our restaurant still features the same low prices, as we can buffer some of the
cost with smart shopping and a growing customer base. Our room prices will go up
by a minimal 1000 Baht/month (1 $ !!!!/day) for the first time in October 2011! Other
places go up every 6 months....Aren't you disappointed, if your neighbor tells you he got
the same studio with the same services for 20% less? This is why we give all guests
the same fair deal. Please understand.
Russians gone. We are still fully booked and must say, we have a very pleasant and
and nice customer base by now.
Over 65% repeat customers this season - Unfortunately we had to say "Sorry Full"
to many, many inquires and unfortunately also to some repeat customers, who were
late with their bookings. We are very sorry for this.
***All the Best to our friends in Queensland. May they be strong and get back on their

*** In eigener Sache: Wir haben sehr viele liebe und nette Gaeste, viele sind viel mehr als
Gaeste fuer unseren Staff und fuehlen wie Familie und Freunde. Das war immer unser
Ziel und freut uns sehr.
Wir alle wissen, dass in Thailand nicht immer alles rund laeuft und haeufig etwas extra
Verstaendnis gebraucht wird. Wer hier ein Geschaeft betreibt, kann Ihnen Geschichten
erzaehlen...
Leider haben wir hin und wieder Gaeste, die sich absolut nicht an die Kultur hier an-
passen koennen, non-stop nach dem Haar in der Suppe suchen und
deren Hoehepunkt der Ferien Dauerbeschwerden und -noergelein sind. Ganz selten
haben wir auch geradezu ruede Gaeste. Bitte respektieren Sie unser Team, wir sind alle
freundlich und verstaendnisvoll. Sollte es Ihnen bei uns nicht zusagen , gibt es ja
unzaehlige Alternativen in Pattaya. Wir verstehen, dass es unmoeglich ist allen Leuten
zu gefallen. Meow gibt sich alle Muehe, jegliche Probleme so schnell wie moeglich
zu beheben und ist wohl eine der freundlichsten Gastegerinnen, die Sie hier finden
koennen, was zahlreiche Schreiben und knapp 70% Repeat-Kundschaft beweisen.
Zum Preis von 24 Stunden Internetzugang in gewissen Hotels, kriegen Sie
bei uns ein modernes, sauberes Studio mit Fruehstueckswahl und natuerlich freiem
Internetzugang, auch am Pool und im Restaurant.
***Leider ist Jean wieder im Spital. Sein Wunsch war, noch einmal ein paar Tage im Oasis
Garten sitzen zu koennen. Das hat er geschafft, aber nun kaempft er wieder gegen
den Krebs. Wir alle: Freunde, Gaeste und Staff wuenschen ihm viel Kraft. Jean
moechte auf diesem Wege alle Raucher vor den schrecklichen Folgen warnen. Es
ist nie zu spaet, aufzuhoeren!
***Soon Songkran is upon us! The last few years the water throwing has stopped around
sundown and people welcome this. During the day you have a good water-free time at
Oasis' pool & garden restaurant.
***Songkran ist nicht mehr so wild wie frueher. Meist ist das Wasserwerfen um 19.00
beendet. Und tagsueber koennen Sie sich in die wasserfreie "Oasis" retten.
*** Wollen Sie eine preisguenstige kleine Geburtstagsfeier mit Ihren Freunden abhalten?
Sprechen Sie mit Meow.
*** Thinking about an inexpensive Birthday party? Talk with Meow.
*** Eine regelmaessige Jassrunde? Sprechen Sie mit Meow!
*** Sick, toothaches, need a Doctor or appointment with Hospital or dentist? Meow can
can help.
***Yes, we do room service. We have several handicapped or sick people in our Estate
that we are happy to supply with fresh and healthy food every day. Check our good
choice menu.
***Seit Vehaftung von 6 ATM-Betruegern aus Nord-Afrika, haben wir nichts mehr
mehr ueber solche Faelle gehoert, Aber immer auf der Hut sein.
***Hoi Rolf, wie geht's?
***Middle of March, this was a longer season than usual. We are still very busy, but
Pattaya is slowly slowing down, the crowds & traffic are easing...
***April - October studios available on short notice. But please reserve early for the next
season.

*** Another ATM-Scam warning, they are still going on:
http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/453584-atm- scams-in-thailand-run-rife/
*** Kevin has just about finished the re-make of the Tower foyer. Well done! Thank you from Oasis!
*** Meow back from a 4 day trip up-country to pick up her kids for a brief vacation. Almost 4 years @
Oasis running the show and just 12 days vacation. This is dedication. No wonder people like her
so much.
*** The weather has been quite bad the last few weeks, usually it is hot and sunny up to the end of
Songkran. Lots of people gone home. We have our first couple of openings for the year, but are still
very busy till end of April. Please come see us April 1. for the Free Barbecue! It really is free and
quite good from what we hear. We will continue with this, a chance for people who did not like the
crowds and wanna stop by now during the slower months. You are welcome!
*** Sophon cable / TV has always been unreliable and quality up and down. We are soon done totally
re-cabling all units, replacing boosters and such and we have now about 65 channels, many suitable
for foreigners in quite good quality in the Estate. Sophon Cable Channels
*** Don't be upset if the Estate cuts down trees regularly and sometimes drastically. Termites
eat away on branches and the heavy branches present a danger to people and cars. The trees
grow back fast in the tropics and need a good trimming. We leave this to the gardeners and don't
get involved and have no involvement with this.. Thanks.
*** Please do not feed the pigeons, they are a pest and destroy everything with their p.....p....., also
known as shi.....! They love to build their nest in the compressor units. This advise is for residents,
not Oasis guest. Our aircons get serviced regularly.
*** Planning a simple affordable birthday party? Talk to Meow, she can arrange it for little money and in
a nice place for you. We are very flexible and appreciate your business.
*** We are visitor friendly (never an extra charge)and any species/gender is welcome.
Sorry, the Estate Rules allow no pets, cats, dogs, birds...
*** As we have mentioned before, all our air-cons are split type and very economical. Reasonable
settings, usually *24-26 C* and fan on *auto* help to keep the electric bill very reasonable and the
temperature within your settings. The computer decides when to start the compressor, which
is outside your room and is the part that consumes the main power, not the inside fan unit.
If you set your temperature to 18 or 20 C, keep your windows open etc., the compressor will run
continuously and your bill will be higher....
The same goes for the hot water heater. If you care about your electric bill, don't waste hot water.
You are welcome to check the meters yourself, they don't lie and they don't cheat, believe us.
In fact they (the meters) are one of the few items in Thailand that really work reliable. Monthly bills for
for our studio, depending also on season/weather can be anywhere from 600-2000 (high end), figure
about 40% more for the double unit. Unit prices in the Estate are 6 Baht/KW and 34/m3 water, which
is very reasonable.

April: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR HERBERT KUENZLER FROM ALL OF US AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY!
*** Playing golf: Look here for an oversight: Pattaya Golf There are many places in the Soi Bouakoa
area to book tours or best join the Pattaya Sports Club, which is close to Diana-Oasis, to get great
discounts. Playing individual means higher cost for transportation which is not cheap. Joining a
group brings the cost down a lot. Sorry we are not golfers and can not help you much more in this
respect, but you will find easy access here in Pattaya.
*** Bye..Bye...Jeff B. We hope you come and stay with us again in the future. Great to have such a
friendly and positive guy with us. Stay healthy and happy. Your Oasis-Team.
*** Ciao Heinz - Danke fuer die feine Schokolade. You are the "Candy-Man".
*** Hans Schaad ist nach mehrmonatigem Leiden am 21.4. entschlafen. Wir werden Ihn alle in guter
Erinnerung behalten. RIP*

*** Welcome to our new staff member ROT. Give her some time to adjust to the culture shock....
Please...
*** Thank you Patrick & Wolfgang for the fine chocolate!!!
*** Liebe Gruesse an den netten Rudi aus D/Berlin von uns allen und Deinem Freund Franz!
*** Pattaya is much more quiet now, we are still almost fully booked. Many regulars prefer the off-
season months to stay with us and have some extra fun in Pattaya. Over 75% of our guest are
repeat customers. Thank you from all of us!
*** Ein gelungenes Abschiedsessen fuer den lieben Hans/Jean Schaad. RIP.
*** Diana-Estate Management will start the job of trimming (not cutting down...) of all trees ahead
of the rainy season. This job is being done by a contractor who understands the need to maintain
trees well and he assures us, that all trees will grow back in a short time much more healthy,
stronger and greener. We understand, that this job was researched for a while and that it will be
supervised by several owners. Thank you for their efforts to keep the Estate nice for all of us!
And thank you to our guest: Do not panic when you hear the chain saws and give the trees a few
months to grow back healthy again, before making any judgment.
*** New Oasis-Hotspot / WIFI : Up and running without any problems for 1 year now! Good decision to
get our own LINUX server and load balance with the 2 main providers in town. Unlike others we have
never been offline for many months! Our customers get some of the best speed/pings in any
Hotspot/Shared system in Pattaya. We are always upgrading when available and monitoring
the system continuously.
*** HAPPY BIRTHDAY & Eine schoene Reise fuer unseren lieben Roland und alles Gute!
*** Auch an unseren Tierfreund Wolfgang aus D eine recht schoene Heimreise und vielen Dank fuer
die sympatische und unkomplizierte Art.
*** Many of our guests prefer the more quiet (and more fun/choice...) summer months....Give it a try....
Pattaya is blessed with very little rain, this is hardly ever a big issue.....

*** Thanks John for the fine chocolate....We are happy you stay with us again.
*** Yes, we keep the Free BBQ going through low-season, so far we have been lucky with the weather
and this gives our long-term guest a chance to relax and meet friends with a good BBQ once a
month for free.
*** It is even in the international press now: Do not accept ANY drinks from people you don't know
or companions you have just picked up! Druggings are on the increase and we know personally
several cases wich resulted in material and health damges to naive and unsupecting tourists.
*** Yes, we have safe & free parking for our guest.
*** And yes, the freshly trimmed trees are already growing back new, strong and very green.
*** We wish our "writer" Ruedi a nice and happy stay in Switzerland. Regards & GUTE BESSERUNG to
Pumpui/Heinz!
*** As usual we keep adding new Specials at Oasis-Restaurant! Try our new"Seafood Gratin" on
Italian White Wine Sauce and the spicy "Cajun Seafood Gombo" Two great full meals! Can't find
it any fresher and cheaper in Pattaya! We cook fresh! Please be a little patient, especially during
"rush hour", after all you are on vacation and should take it easy!
*** Also available: Chicken Nuggets & French Fries!
*** WARNING... Read this: Fake 1000 Baht Bills
*** One of the best Moneychangers is right outside Diana-Oasis, go left on Soi Bouakao just
after POOK Ladyboys Bar: TT-Exchange, usually some of the best rates in town. Another good
option, especially for bigger amounts is the Money Changer on the 2nd. fl. of Tops Supermarket
on Pattaya Klang, just off the beach.
*** Thinking about opening a bank account: In our opinion by far the best services by KASIKORN Bank.
As a very important safety feature, they offer real-time SMS notification every-time an ATM or any
other transaction takes place on your accounts. You can find a English speaking branch, which
is used to deal with foreigners to your right leaving the Estate, a couple hundred meters towards
the small Bouakao market.
*** Yes, our studios/rooms look the way they are shown on our website. No gimmicks or photo-
shopping.
*** And more ATM Fraud - Click here Watch out for a group of North African, French Speaking
younger men, who hang out in the Coffee/Pizza Place (Trailer) just opposite of the ATM
and money exchange outside Diana-Estate!
*** A reminder: DO NOT accept any drinks offered/bought by a visitor or somebody you just met
in the street. We know of many cases people being drugged and all their valuables stolen.
Be aware where you are and don't become a victim. Don't be embarassed to call for help
immediately when something feels wrong. You can call security via the operator 24/7 # 2000,
They also have our managers private number for real emergencies. We are always happy to
help and we have plenty of experience with many scenarios. This just happened after posting
this. Most of the victims never report to police: Click here Take this serious. We know personally
of 5 cases in the last 2 years and want our guest to be aware and enjoy a trouble free holiday.

*** And... Do NOT rent Jet Skies in Thailand! It might cost you more than your entire holiday!
*** Got a few minutes to spare, please read/click this: **A Smile for a Kid** Meow has always had
good support by many of our regulars, doing her yearly little charity event and we are
taking it a step further. No worries, we are not asking for cash or funds of any kind. Thanks for being
part of this.
*** Great, all our staff have given their own little choice of toys to start up "A Smile for a Kid"
*** Another great BBQ with many nice people on Friday June 24th. Next one July 29th.
*** Welcome back to David, the Irish owner. After finishing up a major project in Columbia he is happpy
to be back in Fun City.
*** And a quick hello to all our friends who spend the summer months in Europe!
*** If you are looking to buy a condo in the Estate, Have a chat with Meow. She is usually well informed.
*** Gute Besserung an den Heinz und viel Glueck zur OP.
*** NEW! Our ground fl. 108/109 now have doubled glassed / insulated windows and double walls, too.
These 2 units are popular for access, privacy and parking very close-by. They are new, in more
traditional Thai style, with big bed and big walk-in shower.. Off course with large fridge, DVD-Player,
Flatscreen, Split Air and extra ceiling fan.

immediately when something feels wrong. You can call security via the operator 24/7 # 2000,
They also have our managers private number for real emergencies. We are always happy to
help and we have plenty of experience with many scenarios. This just happened after posting
this. Most of the victims never report to police: Click here Take this serious. We know personally
of 5 cases in the last 2 years and want our guest to be aware and enjoy a trouble free holiday.

*** And another ATM gangster caught, read here and always be careful. If you do banking online from
a public computer always clear the history in your browser.
*** We have just sealed/soundproofed all our doors/frames. Not something you can find often in
Thailand, where noise is part of daily life.
*** A ongoing problem in Diana Estate has been poor TV reception. We are almost done with re-
placing all antenna cables with larger diameter ones and this will finally get good and consistent
TV pictures in all our studios. By now Pattaya cable offers about 25 good foreign channels: News,
Movies and several good Sports Channels.
*** Free BBQ as every month on 29.7. Friday from 16.00
*** Meow back from a few days vacation! Thanks for having been patient while she was gone.
*** Please compare apples with apples! Our rates include full breakfast, cleaning service, fast WIFI
and fully equipped studios, perfect location, 2 pools, gym as shown on this website. No extras
charged, all included! We consider our modern, clean studios some of the best value you can find
in Pattaya and most any place you might travel to. Where in the world can you find a comparable
offer for about 25$/night (based on mthly.) !!??

*** Location...Location...Location.... Diana-Oasis is not only one of the very few places with large pools and plenty of garden areas, well set back from the noisy road, but we are located in the perfect spot for the ever more popular Soi Bouakao / Soi LK Entertainment District, which is already much more popular with long-term guest and residents then the WS tourist crowds & traps.
2 minutes walking distance and you have the choice of sports-bars, several new and very popular (half the price of Walking Street) Gogos, restaurants, open air bars and much more and you are only minutes away from the new Central Mega Mall. If you heading to South Pattaya, just jump on the Songtew outside the gate and it will drop you off almost in front of WS for all but 10 Baht.
Read here what Stickman has to say about Soi LK>
And if you feel like a quiet day, just enjoy a warm day at our pools and have your meals in our great little garden-restaurant. Our food choice and quality is great and the prices are small. Our staff is friendly and always happy to serve you. Don't forget, they are dealing with so many different nationalities and accents, keep it simple or if you have a special request Meow, our pearl/manager is always happy to help you.
***All our guest get a full free breakfast with quality toast and bacon and a freshly brewed Boncafe or tea of your choice. You have a choice of 8 different brekkies. Click here.
*** Wehave been open for 4 years now and Meow has managed soemtimes very complicated reservations without one single wrong-/mis-booking! As we have are very well booked most of the times and don't operate like other hotels with always some rooms empty, we rely on our guest to inform us if anything in their plans changes. In all these years we have had only 4 no-shows. So we thank you for informing us if you missed your plane, got ill or have to cancel or delay or change your trip.
***Thank you also to anybody elase who brought some little toy for Meow's little charity! Great people with a big heart.
***WARNING! Another (long-time & experienced) Pattaya visitor has been drugged and relieved of ALL his valuables in his room this week. It was not one of our guest, as we frequently warn them and have security notices up in all our studios.
We are very sorry for his terrible experience and his loss.
This time the holidaymaker took a "lady" from just outside the Estate to get a massage. He woke up 12 hours later with anything of value in his room gone. Including the safe was emptied out. These drugs are very fast acting and confuse the victim within minutes of taking them (usually in coffee or drink offered by visitor..) and he could even remember of having talked with the lady semi-conscious and given her the code to the electronic safe!
The Estate has good CCTV and the security had her (fake?stolen?) ID details written down. Hardly ever get these people caught or anything recovered anyhow.
Be smart - Don't become the next victim!
*** Pumpui aka Heinz is back! Welcome! Thanks for the great "Basler Laeckerli" & The fine Swiss
Swiss Chocolate you brought us.
*** Herzlichen Dank Heinz fuer die tollen Laeckerli & Schokolade! Wir freuen uns, dass es Dir
gesundheitlich besser geht und Du endlich keine Schmerzen mehr hast.
*** Warning - Thefts by "visitors" in rooms are very common - Lock up all your valuables and don't
ever tell a girl/boy or alien for that.... the date/time you will be flying home - Many of them will steal
whatever they can grab - we had cases where shampoos and soap was also pocketed - and
disappear into the dark....Don't expect any help from the police, they must have tons of cases
like that every day. Just look at the pawnshops on every corner...Easy money for the thieves...
*** Stay away from the LB's in the street, they mean trouble! Trust us! ***
September 2011
*** We are very close to high season and as usual are almost fully booked for that period. Please
write us if you are still looking for a nice place & great value. We have a few selective openings.
*** Thank you Mark for the huge chocolate bar. Must have weighed 4 pounds.....The biggest we have
ever seen....
*** Feedback ref. double glassing of 108 & 109 is very positive. The rooms are now very quiet. Also
all our doors have rubber seals to keep studios as quiet as possible.
*** Thank you Heinz (aka "Pumpui") for sponsoring the taxi trip to the Orphanage this year.

*** Starting October - for the next 6 months - FREE BBQ every second Friday / twice a month -
This has has become a great little event with lots of nice folks having a good time!
Please join and leave you car at home :) :) ! Start 16.00...
*** Looking to buy a condo?
1. Ask Kh. Meow.
2. Tell her what you are looking for & leave your contact.
3. Take your time, even if it takes a season, don't buy overpriced, many came to regret their hurried
purchase. Buy for own use, a single studio will never be a good income investment and prices
have pretty much stagnated on realatively high level, due to perfect location and good
maintenance of the Estate.
Many factors need consideration, we know them very well, after 14 years of active
involvement in the Estate.
Looking to sell? Yes, Meow can take care of that, too. She can even take pictures of your place and
make sure it is clean and smells good, before it is shown to potential buyers. We do strictly not
buy/sell and jack up prices! Meow will guide you to the right people and you will deal with them
directly.
She also has reliable and trustworthy people for any transfers or related dealings at much better
rates than offered by real-estate offices or lawyers.
*** For 2 months now we have been offering Rib-Eye Steaks & Beef Tenderloin Medallions - No,
not at 300 - 500 a dish, but @ 199.--Baht. Yes, it is local beef, we age it ourselves and for just
199.-- incl. side-dish & mixed salad, a heck of a deal. Sorry if sold out.
Check out our many special dishes, very popular our own choice of Risottos & Cottage Pies!
*** The worst flood in our 14 yrs. in Pattaya: Here the first pictures, which look harmless to the reality.
Click here It started midnight and stopped only around 14.00 today, combined with a high tide, the
floods had nowhere to go and are now at 17.00 still quite high. The usual chaos with hardly any
coordinated actions. Plenty of fish (from flooded ponds?), snakes and rats around.
Oasis had water just up to the big steps into the restaurant, gosh were we happy to have those
"over-sized" steps this time. Some tenants on ground floor not so lucky. Clean-up is ongoing &
then we just wait for the next one, as there is not much we can do about it. Never a boring day
in paradise.
*** Hallo Bruno (Cookie) aus der CH! Vielen herzlichen Dank fuer die feine Schoki und den tollen Kaese.
Wahre Delikatessen! Leider habe ich erst in den Kuehlschrank geschaut, wie Du schon weg warst.
Alles Gute und bis bald! Dein "Oasis-Team"
*** Auch Dir, lieber Juerg N. herzlichen Dank fuer die Schoki. Die CH-er Schokistengeli/Branchli
werden langsam beruehmt in Pattaya.
*** Sorry, if we forget soemtimes to publish a "Thank you".
*** Look at some incredible pictures of the flood a few days ago, by now all is cleaned up and back
to normal. None of ours studios have been affected, as they are on higher ground.
Click here
*** This shows the ATM-gangsters are still active ! Keep your guard up! Click here
***If you come to see us for any information, to pay a deposit, to see a room, please clearly let us know if you have an existing reservation to avoid misunderstandings. Name and dates are ok. for us to follow up on our computer and identify your case. Thank you!****
***Falls Sie bei uns vorbeikommen fuer Infos, Deposit, Zimmeranschauen, bitte lassen Sie uns wissen, ob Sie eine bestehende Buchung haben. Name & Datum reichen, dass wir keine Missverstaendnisse haben. Wir haben hunderte von Buchungen, Ersuchen, Spezialfaellen und kaum ein Kunde spricht gutes Thai und/oder klares Englisch.

with the honest finder, to validate the claim and return his funds. Thank you to Kevin for

full insurance, overtime paid and really great customers, which often become friends. There is
always somebody in the family who needs support, is sick or some other surprises... Hard to fully

*** Eye infections are very common and often very contagious in the tropics. They can be very painful
and take a while to heal. No need to spend a lot of money on Hospital visits or imported drops!
In many pharmacies you can find "Cadex Cin.N" eye drops. They are around 45 Baht and usually
help within 24 hours. Don't let them sell you soemthing else until you have tried those. Be careful
not to re-infect with the towel or re-used tissue.

normal within 2 weeks.

*** Pattaya still very busy with people that left bangkok due to the flood. Slowly new supplies coming

*** Oasis-Restaurant has started to age its own beef and we will keep adding more cuts. Our Rib-Eye
and Tenderloin have become quite popular. This shows, that good quality local beef can become
quite tender if aged correctly and our prices are about 1/2 to 1/3 of most places in town. Give it a try.
*** A reminder, please tell Meow if there is something not to your liking and she will correct the best she
can. We want you to have a good vacation!

he presents sponsored by our caring guests. THANK YOU! Meow continues with this "A Smile for
A Kid", so please bring us a little toy from home or from your visit to the local market. Used, in
good condition also welcome!
*** Soon to come: 7 brand new studios by Diana-Oasis. Bright, modern & comfortable!
Enjoy our free DVD-collection on your private 50-inch flat-screen! Updates soon.
*** We really have been spoilt the last 22 months with a nearly flawless WIFI performance. Thanks
to our 3-provider system, we have not been offline ever, compared to many "offs" of other
systems. The last few days our AP Hotspot 1 acted up and made it difficult to connect or performed
slowly. We still don't know 100% what caused this. Possibly some strong interference or similar.
Hotspot 1 is now functioning well and fast again, we will keep an eye on it. A tip for the non-experts:
If you experience connection problems: 1. Restart your computer or disable/re-enable your WIFI
adapter. 2. Try to connect and right click WIFI icon bottom right, hit "repair". This will reset your
laptop WIFI adapter and in most cases allow then to connect to any AP again.
Our WIFI is one of the fastest, most up to date systems available here. Don't forget. Your
computer or the website you are trying to reach is as much part of the quality, speed of connection
as the system you log on to. We are happy to give outsiders, that visit our Oasis restaurant, free
access to the internet.
*** Another great, full house Free BBQ & lots of nice people! Thank you for coming.
*** Oasis now ages it's own Rib-Eye and Beef Filet! We are told it is some of the best value for money
and certainly one of the nicest little restaurants in town. Give it a try! Can't go wrong for 199.-- Baht
incl. Side-Dish & Mixed Salad. We will add another cut/steak type in the future.
*** Kh. Rosarin's & Meow's Charity & Toy Lunch for the blind children was heartwarming, but just
looking at the pictures gets me emotional. What a good cause...So many happy faces, also thanks
to many of our guests! Thank you and keep these little toys coming. No need to be expensive, most
probably the next occasion will with theses blind kids again. More pictures soon here
*** Auch diese Jahr haben Kh. Rosarin & Meow wieder einen Anlass im Heim fuer blinde Kinder
organisiert. Ein feines Mittagessen, Dessert und viele Spielsachen, viel von unseren Gaesten
mitgebracht. Was Kleines tut es... Schaut Euch diese Bilder an. Kein Kommentar notwendig!
Danke an unsere Freunde & Gaeste.
*** Vielen, vielen Dank von uns allen an Kooky, Willy & Pumpui fuer die feinen Schokostengel, den
LU Rahmkaese und den Tete de Moine, komplett mit Kaesehobel. So hat sich unser Roy
Katoy, aeh.... Katong gar zu Weihnachten gewandelt. THANK YOU!
*** Still hard to get all food supplies. Many items out of stock. I.e. No small coke bottles for 2 weeks now,
no small Singha. Lots of substitutes products at much higher prices. Hopefully production starts
soon again.
*** Immer noch viele Produkte nicht erhaeltlich. Ersatzprodukte mit massiv ueberhoehten Preisen
teilweise in den Regalen.
*** Hoi Uli R. - Vielen Dank fuer die vielen Koestlichkeiten aus der CH! Ist aber wirklich nicht noetig! Du
bist ja schon der neue Fondue-Master im D.E.!
*** Thank you Mikro for the visit and the fine Baileys'! Great!
*** Anybody looking to buy a really nice and very large condo in the best Estate in Pattaya. Talk to Meow,
she will show you the 110 sqm unit in B-Block. This is not a studio for 1.5 Mio, but a full 4 unit, totally
re-modelled condo! Long-term rental might be considered with suitable tenant.
Also available beautiful & very quiet double unit, all redone. Both condos can be owner financed
with favorable terms. Click here
*** Thank you to all guests & friends who have donated a little toy or such for Meow's private charity.

*** Happy Birthday lieber Werner......
*** Danke Franz aus der CH fuer die feinen Chokostengeli / Brancheli...Grossartig!
*** Be careful who you are taking home, a reminder! Knock-out drops can be extremely dangerous,
especially with ill or elderly people: Click here
Preview....From about middle of 2012 we will have 7 brand new, modern studios available for our guests.
These units will be the first ones in the Estate with proper sound-proofing (walls/ceilings/doors).

*** People who are familar with the history of The Estate & Restaurant know how difficult it is to run a restaurant in a closed condominium. Thanks to the visison of the Irish owner & his team, Oasis has become a very popular meeting point for residents and visitors. We provide a large choice of quaity food, do room-service and have many regulars, also elderly people, who don't like to venture out often anymore. Our staff takes care of sick people, brings them food to the room and Meow is happy to help out with Doctor appointments and pharamacy runs. All part of the Oasis' service. We do this gladly also for people who don't stay with us. ***
*** Our BEST WISHES to everybody! Merry Christmas & A Very Happy New Year*** Your Oasis-Team
*** Thank you so much to all our guests & friends for the many, many good wishes, the lovely gifts and souvenirs, as well as the generous christmas tips for our staff !!! We appreciate it very much and nothing makes us more happy than seeing you happy and having a good time staying with us or visiting our Oasis pool restaurant.
*** Today, end of December, we finally got the announced upgared to our WIFI system done. Took
us well into the night. Thanks for your patience. It is quite a task to get things done properly in this
country. Europe seems like paradise in hindsight. But, no doubt we have some other advantages
here.
*** With 4 years on the clock, we have learned that WIFI problems are often on user's side. We get
usually notified quickly by some of our regular users, if there is anythig wrong with an AP.
WIFI is a 2-way street. Our transmitters emit 1000 MW average with a high gain panel antenna,
whilest your laptop does max. 50-200 MW, often with a limited antenna. It gets even more drastic
with netbooks, tablets or WIFI phones. We have some options if you experience connection
problems, but we are not computer experts and we ask you for a little patience during rush hours in
high season. We will help you as quick as possible.
Try first a restart; a right click on the WIFI symbol > Repair; remove the Hotspot from the list and
re-connect or just bring your laptop down to us, best around 5pm.
Windows XP & 7 produce far less trouble than Vista. We can show you a shop where you get a
complete, reliable new-install for any OP system for only 300 Baht.
*** ATTENTION!!!!!! The ATM-Mafia is back in action. 2 of our customers got scammed (skimmed..)
by two Algerian looking men quite agressively the last 2 days.. They are active on all ATM's on Soi
Bouakao, but especially so around the Estate.
Don't let anybody come close to you at any ATM. If you are in doubt, hit the red CANCEL button, get
your card and leave. If you had any kind of contact with these guys at the ATM, they most probably
have your card skimmed already and watched your PIN or even recorded it on a wireless mini
camera. If in doubt, immediately cancel your ATM card. Don't accept any help from anybody at
any ATM. That is one of their many tricks.
It takes them only about 1-2 hours to duplicate your card and empty your account. We personally
know of 9 cases and one of us was present when one of the gang was arrested about 9 month ago.
Check prior warnings on this site. These guys are very good at what they do!

Unsere 3 Eidgenossen :) :) Always happy!
Herzlichen Dank fuer die vielen Koestlichkeiten aus der CH, lieber Willy, Kooki & Heinz.
Schon wieder Weihnachten. Aber nicht jedesmal gaell, sonst werden wir noch verlegen. Wie verdienen wir das? Auch die Meow isst schon CH / LU Rahmkaese....Ist auch etwas wunderbares...
Und der Tete De Moines ist natuerlich eine Weltberuehmtheit...fast wie die 3 Eidgenossen!
*** High Season >>>> Thank you for your patience when the restaurant fills up very quickly. Our kitchen
is small and we cook all fresh. If something goes wrong, please tell Meow and she will fix it.
