Maybe I don't take very suspect girls to the room, but also don't leave anything valuable in quick and easy to find places. One doesn't leave wallet in quick access to a girl if in the shower. Once suspected a regular girl of maybe thieving a couple of thousand baht from wallet but could not be certain. Over many many years did not have problems. Don't know if passport theft would be a real risk. That is clearly first priority for the safe.
I believe a passport is far safer in your room (even not in the safe) than being carried around with you. Far easier for your bag to be stolen outside the Hotel, even not targeting your passport.
I once had a bag stolen when I was in a shopping centre but never from my room.
Risk in the room is more likely that maid will sample a lady's expensive face cream or perfume, expecting to be undetected. Leaving coins on the table is probably quite low risk.
In general your Hotel room is not a risky place in Thailand, relative to other places. So use a safe if you like and makes you feel better. However in practical terms, the shit mostly happens elsewhere. Even bad police could be a danger outside the Hotel.
Biggest room danger: Pissed off girl plants drugs in your room and calls bad police to raid your room ending up in deep shit, or you get drugged by the girl.
Planting of drugs in Thailand is all too common. That is biggest way innocent people get into deep shit, unless you are Myanmar workers on Koh Tao and setup for the murders.
Thailand's image must be protected though.

The side facing North gets noise from the Central Festival mall air-con machinery as from 11am. The side facing south (towards walking street) gets mosquitos after dusk from the neighbouring park up to least the 8th floor. Floor 14th was reported to me as definitely free of mosquitos, but it more expensive.
Diana Estate (behind Night Bazaar) also fits your specifications. I gave up on them as they could not guarantee I would get a condo with an in-room safe if I booked in advance. A combination lock safe is a must as far I'm concerned.

Posts: 20Monthly Rental Pattaya
Hi,
I live in the PI so only have done a dozen tourist trips to Patts in hotels so if anyone can recommend a decent monthly rental these are my criteria.
1. Must be nice with housekeeping near the busy areas of Pattaya. Some place easy to get to with one ride. I pay 33 k for a Condo in the PI so similar price 20 k Baht or less but I am flexible.
2. Must be guest friendly with a guard.
3. A pool is plus but not a must.
4. Want to be able to cook so not a simple hotel room need like a studio room or so.
5. Only want month to month since I might leave in a month.
6. The closer to the action the better.
Thanks.

Posts: 1Hotel rooms with a sofa?
Does anyone have any recommendations for a hotel somewhere between Soi 6 and Walking street that have rooms with a lounge area with a decent sofa?
I like to use sofas for. Stuff. My budget is $80 usd a night.

I'm sorry to hear that you had to deal with what really is a simple task and was fucked up by incompetence.
Also a tip is to watch the money you get back in change (supermarkets and 7-11's in particular) if your change is over 350 THB.
I don't think they do this deliberately (to scam you) they just don't have the smarts.
Not all but the majority of people working in some of these places are not the sharpest when it comes to basic math.
Where I live in Isan the maximum note I hand over is 100 THB, they just can't break down anything correctly when it comes to 500 THB notes or above from what I have experienced.
YMMV but I always double check and keep an eye on things as apposed to being a bit more confident in other countries.

Posts: 7Flipper lodge
I stayed in flipper lodge in may. Pattaya was really dead in may, I liked it. It rained almost every night, but I wasn't bothered bc I'm more inside than outside. Flipper lodge hotel looked empty inside, which was good.
I payed a deluxe room for about 40 dollars a day and it wasn't worth the quality. The lobby has no A/C, so you can't relax there to wait for your buddies. They do have a couple of fans. 1 crappy computer in the lobby also.
Pool area, which was main reason my friends booked this hotel, looked ugly. They had cheap white plastic chairs, no warm atmosphere in the pool area, just looked cheap and outdated.
1 time I got up for breakfast and food wasn't good at all, not much choice and just plain bland.
My room was big enough, shower was good enough (no closed door, but a curtain) and no issue with hot water.
This hotel is very popular, probably because of the location (soi 8, which has many bars) and its cheap. You don't need to worry about having a good night sleep, bc it gets really quiet after 2 am.
Anybody tried baron beach Pattaya lately? Search shows me posts of 6 years ago.

Posts: 491Beach road hotels.
Have to agree with you that although its a decent hotel chain it's way too long from WS. During my last trip I stayed at Baraquda mcGallery on 2nd road, location wise, pool area & rooms highly recommended. Was repeating another stay next month but they stated on website that they have to close pool for 1 month for some kinda serious maintenance. Pool, preferably large, is a must for my own relaxing afternoons. Enquired Avani as well but they have a very strict joiner fee of 1000 Baht. Hilton is out of my reach as per budget & most probably will end up Viewtalay6 .
