Pattaya Hotels

[Chachi420]

hi chachi,

i'll be going to pattya in march 2010 and am looking for a decent, inexpensive hotel, too. if you go before me could you kindly let me know via pm what you find out? i really appreciate it. i am also looking to sample some of the infamous thai stick there (and in bkk) so any additional info on that is also much appreciated. if you are there also in march perhaps we can hook up. from my forum name you can rightly guess i am into big boobs!

regards,

d cups

hi d cups,

i have finally decided to stay at the metro apartments on soi lk metro. great location for [CodeWord900], devils den, and some good non-pushy bars to relax in. 840 baht (high season). i'll be in pattaya in 2 weeks!

i'll be sure to post my fr upon my return. although they do have in-room wifi, so if i get a chance i'll provide running commentary!

i'm not planning to be in los in march, but who knows!

with regards to bkk. i have been twice, and both times stayed at stable lodge. good location, relatively cheap, girl-friendly, quite at night and fanstastic food. hope this helps.

After reading through the forum, I have basically decided that my friends and I (6 pax) will stay at Sunshine Residence (new wing) in Pattaya. As I read further on other forum, I came across several reports that mentioned the hotel is racist against Asian. I find that disturbing given the fact that it is located in Thailand.

My questions to the experts on the "adult" affairs in Pattaya are:

(1) Is it true about the racism comments pertaining to Sunshine Hotel and Residence because amongst our group, there are 1 Eurasian, 2 Chinese, 1 Indian and 2 Malay. If it is true than we will certainly not want to give business to an establishment that does not welcome us......

(2) If the racism comment is not true and the author(s) of those reports just want to make the hotel look bad, then we will stay. I would just like to seek confirmation from fellow members here that the said hotel is still GF. We will certainly book "twin sharing" for all the six rooms.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Just had a week in the above hotel, The hotel is a boutique style hotel which is quite nice but I think will age and deteriorate very quickly. At the moment there is extensive building work going on at the back of the property near the pool, this has been commented on before. The hotel is quite pricey for food and drink, a small beer at the pool side bar is 150 Baht, rooms are priced at 1600 for a deluxe. Worth noting the hotel is very noisy at night, I requested a quiet room and still the noise was annoying, there are a lot of Arabs and Indians using this hotel, I witnessed an argument in the parking lot which is below the 2nd wing, there were 3 Indian guys and a Thai girl and she was very angry, she was shouting at the Indians saying they weren't paying the rate agreed before she came back. I didn't see the outcome but she was well pissed off.

My weeks stay at Nova was good, however I wouldn't go back and I can't really recommend it.


May the force be with you.

After reading the feedback from fellow members here about Sunbeam, I decided not to take the chance as there are 6 of us and we want to party (first in Pattaya and later in Bangkok).

I have read on the forum that Sunshine is quite popular amongst members. I searched the Web and there are 2 Sunshine located in Pattaya, ie Sunshine and Sunshine Gardens. Before I decide, could I seek some clarification on which hotel is nearer to the action areas and is GF?

Thanks in advance.

(1) I get different info regarding the GF status, some say 300 baht fee per guest. Someone says that you can book a doubleroom and then they dont charge you a joinerfee.
(2) Soi 7&8 is a very good action location.

Personally I would choose another hotel. Some say Sunbeam is a ripoff. I like the Eastiny group. Eastiny Plaza (soi 8) is a bit to much in the middle of the action but I like the Eastiny Place (soi8).
I know I`ve seen the Sunbeam sign but have never walked inside.

After extensive search.

I booked 1 Reu Thai Paradise room at Sabai Resort for 5 nights from 29/12/2009 till 31/2010 at the rate of 78.US$ (2605.4 THB)cheaper by 32us$ from the rate given to me by my travel agent

I used direct rooms website i think that is a good rate considering that it is the peak season 3 years ago i stayed at Sabai lodge from the same group at the rate of 1650.THB however i think the sabai resort room in paradise room is bigger and better thus i found this rate is good one.

As for my stay in bangkok i booked a Grande Superior room the unbeatable Majestic Grande at the rate of 104.US$ approximately 3432.THB not bad too my last stay was in september and i paid 85.US$ 2805 THB.

What do u think fellow mongers.

Friends, I have been reading up on the Pattaya trend pertaining to the above mentioned hotel and the report seems to be mixed as to whether it is girl-friendly (GF) or not. I have emailed (7 days ago) the hotel regarding joiner-fee and have yet not received any reply from them.

My friend and I will be going to Bangkok in early December and we wanted to spend a few days in Pattaya since we have a total of 2 weeks vacation time. I am entrusted to make the necessary arrangements and have decided on either Citadines (Soi 23) or Sacha Uno (Soi 19) in Bangkok (any negative feedback so far about the GF status of the hotels...?), but I am stuck on accommodation in Pattaya.

I would really appreciate if the experts on Pattaya scene could give me an update on:
(1) The GF status of Sunbeam hotel.
(2) Also the map on the website showed it as located between Soi 7 & 8. Is this a good "action" location?

Thanks a bunch for the kind assistance.

I prefer Charlie Place on the corner of Soi Bakow and Soi Dianna. Very clean around 800 b and great people, close to action and good restaurants.

Stay away from Swasadee, poor quality. Pasadena Inn is on Soi LK Metro and looks very good, new. About 1000 b.

You don't your need to worry much about the LB, at Queens unless you use the entrance in the back more than the front.

The Metro Apartments is directly across from Devils Den, 038 425874

Metro appartments is a good place to stay but book early as it very popular.

There are alot of decent places on soi lk

[Chachi420]

Thanks for all you help guys.

I really should just pick one and stick to it.

I have now added Billabong hotel to the evergrowing 'short'list!

Metro Apartments seems ideal.

Hi all

I am considering staying at either Walking Street Guesthouse or Queen Vic, and would appreciate any advice.

Walking Street Guesthouse seems like an ideal location, and very reasonably priced. However my only concern is security. As a low budget place, smack in the middle of the melee, will my luggage be safe in my room?

Queen Vic seems to be a bit of a favourite with this forum. I see the hotel is located above the bar/restaraunt. Does this mean a 'walk of shame' through those wining and dining?

I'm hoping they have a seperate entrance leading straight the the rooms.

Recommend the Queen Vic, soi 6. In room safe facility. Separate entrance yes. However, the hotel is some way up from Walking street, several min by baht bus or a 15 - 20min walk allows you to see what`s on sale along beach rd. Numerous times i did not make to walking st, bit of shopping got in the way.

You'r luggage is never safe in any room anywhere in Pattaya! Anything valuable must be kept in a safe. WSGuest house has in room safes.

Also try the hotels at the corners of Soi Diana and soi Bukouw just across the street from the very popular girly bar mentioned many times on this forum (the name escapes me..(yup, DRUNK)) 1 block from Lolittas and devils den. Both hotels are GREAT deals on mid range hotels under 700bt. Did I mention GREAT deals??? They really are. two hotels, Opposite corners. One has 24 hour 35bt beers in a big open casual drinking area on the corner, hotel upstairs.

I don't think you have to worry about the walk of shame at Queens, The place is located in Soi shame, the lobby and restaurant patrons eating are all shameful and the owner sitting at the bar looks shameful. Shame is part of the atmosphere!

On top of that, there is a fire escape at the back of the hotel. You can get to the room with your girl using that and avoid the main hotel entrance completely. In fact after, I think, midnight you can only use this method to get into the hotel. Really not a problem.

I enjoyed my stay at the QV. Reasonable room, TV & DVD and free Wireless. Oh, and cheap as well. What more could you want for a short stay. No pool, but you pays for what you gets. . . I'd go there again. Also, the location is good IMHO.
