Pattaya Hotels

[SubCmdr]

Location, location, location. Pratumnak is a very good area but I wouldn't recommend it for first time or even semi-occasional visitors. You'll need a motorbike or Bolt to go anywhere. If you have been to Pattaya a lot and know exactly what you are getting into, then Pratumnak is a good choice. It's better to stay on or close walking distance to a baht bus route I. E. Beach Road, Second Rd, or Bukhaow.

For a first time visitor no. But once you know your way around, if you prefer a quieter environment I would certainly consider it.

In fact, I do more than just consider it. I live in Jomtien. I just looked at an off the plan condo in Pratumnak. Walking distance to a Baht Bus route. I have never paid more than 200 THB (6 USD) for a one way ride anywhere in Pattaya. Often what I do is get in a Bolt the first time. Pay attention to the route and learn. Then often times I can do it via Baht bus on my own the next time.

Do not be afraid to get on a Baht Bus and just ride it where it takes you. If you are going too far off the beat and path, hit the button, get off and ask the driver to direct you where you want to go. Have I wasted 10 THB doing that? I sure have. Have a learned a lot doing that? Gained knowledge way more valuable than the 10 THB. This knowledge has opened up a range of options to me. Now, be prepared to spend 20 minutes getting from Jomtien to Central Pattaya on the Baht Bus. But as you all know, I am time rich and cash poor so I just don't give a fuck!

Just as a note, next month my rental is going up by 8000 THB because of high season and it is already booked. So, I moved out and found a unit across the street and a block away for 8000 THB / month. Options are available. Just saying.

I am currently booked at that Areca Lodge, but thinking of moving someplace a little bit less busy. Areca is fine, but it feels like a Frat House to me. Wanted to see if anyone has stayed at the Unique Regency recently. TIA.

I recommend you scope out the LK Metropole; similarly situated as the Areca, but more quiet. The Areca is one of the most popular mongering hotels in Pattaya, so it is always full.

Thank you Explorer. That is a good thing to keep in mind.

The issue with Pratumnak is that there is little mass transit, so taxis are required to go to Jomtien or Pattaya. Or you could walk to and from the Thrappaya Road baht bus.

I've stayed at LK The Empress a few times and it was good. The last 4 trips at the Areca Lodge, which is very well situated and close to a lot of action. I am thinking of looking at a place in Pratumnak, more to get away from the madness just a bit and I would like to check out some of the action in Jotimen as well. If anyone has a couple of good recommendations for Pratumnak, I would appreciate the recommendations. Rumor has it that there are a few more upscale hotels in the area with nice pricing. Thanks in advance!

I friend of mine had a good time here in November 2022.

How would I verify their policy of bringing girls up to room before making the reservation?

By emailing or calling the hotel is best. Otherwise there are plenty of sites your can Google search "girl friendly hotels".

I'm going to try this one. What do you think?

A-One New Wing Hotel is of the crap ones where they want 1000 baht per guest per visit even if you book room for 2. They say this is for the security service they provide, I. E. , calling you before handing over ID back to the chick. LOL.

They clearly don't want sex tourists in their rooms LOL.

I never heard about any hotels in Pattaya that have problem if you have multiple girls during the day. Of course always booking for 2.

Hotels could asking for extra money if you want to bring two girls at the same time for a threesome.

So I will need to know that the place will be okay with me having multiple different girls up per day. Does this require I book the room for 2 when I make the reservation?

I've never been to Pattaya before, but been to Bangkok several times. I'm looking for a hotel that's close enough to the "action" (main RLDs) although I plan to mostly use TF. So I will need to know that the place will be okay with me having multiple different girls up per day. Does this require I book the room for 2 when I make the reservation?

Other than that, I need good Wifi and hopefully not super noisy.

You ALWAYS have to book a room for 2 if you plan to bring girls over. Looking for a hotel in the RLD and quiet do not go hand in hand. There are bars everywhere that play loud music to 3 am or later. If you want quiet look for a hotel at least a couple of blocks away.
