Pattaya Hotels

[XXL]

I wonder if someone could recommend a hotel in the 90-110 $ range which, apart from the usual qualities a Pattaya hotel need to have, is ideally suited for keeping fit at the pool. The pool not only needs to be big and clean but also not childishly landscaped so as to hamper "serious" swimming.

So after 12 trips to Pattaya I felt the need of changing a bit the scenery, I'm 50 yrs soon so I don't frequent the likes of walking str, discos, loud music anymore so both Jomtien and Naklua areas are the perfect options.

Jomtien its surely more laid back than the mainstream Pattaya, everything is on a smaller scale but its quite enjoyable. Bar area is concentrated between Sois 4 and 7 , some live band bars in main road going down Jomtien big arch and obviously the Big complex. About 50 bars or so, some with live bands especially the ones in the middle. Others are the usual set ups of almost Pattaya bar complexes, pool tables, girls around and plenty of food stalls. But you don't see any girls dancing on stage Same like frog complex in walking street while its less louder.

Even beach area is more clean and relaxed. On another note there is a block full of gay massages and few bars in an arcade on the right hand side going down hill to Jomtien. Its not on level with Boyz Town in Pattaya but Even hotels / guesthouses in that area cater for mostly gays so if you book around and its not your piece of cake double check with hotel prior booking (as well an area on beach sort of designated for gays).

Overall I like Jomtien area, basically there is everything on a quite note, good food, massages, bars, 1 go-go (oldest go-go in Patts so don't expect beauties) ,and girls as well. I'm no longer a fan of the busy crowds in walking street and discos although occasionally I pay a trip to go-go's.

Naklua area (north Pattaya) is another gem, again you find anything you like with less crowds.

I have been to Pattaya four times over several decades, only once to Jomtien. However, I was watching bar videos on youtube and it seems that there is a a scene at the Jomtien Complex. Nothing comparable to Walking Street, or Soi Six. Which is a relief. I am an older gent and want a quieter scene.

In truth, this will probably be my last time. So I want to see whether I still can relive the first time.

I asked about Jomtien Complex last year and was told to skip it. Please provide a much needed update in the Pattaya Forum if you do go there. You may want to consider some of the gentleman's clubs like Kinnaree, Heaven, Venus, Winchester, Rioja, etc. Nearby instead. Other than Kinnaree Place, not even sure which of these are still open.

There's action in Jomtien? If so, I'm all ears.

Need a recommendation for a good Jomtien hotel, in the middle of action, with a swimming pool.

Thank you.

I will be staying at LK The Empress at the end of this month. Anyone who has stayed at this hotel before, is it possible to bring more than one girl (not at the same time) during the day?

Thanks.

The fee for the third person is currently 600, Baht at the LK Empress. The hotel has really seen better days by the way, lobby is impressive but rooms and hallways are getting "tired" and are badly in need of a refurbishment. Also most guests are from the Middle East, including groups of young men in their late teens and some families with unsupervised and loud children playing in and around the pool.

But there is a (I think 500 baht) joiner fee for the second girl, if you bring her at the same time. I hate this policy!

It's seems that many hotel in Pattaya have this bad policy.

Thanks very much. You have answered my query. I just want to bring one girl at one time but may be few girls during the same day.

There is no charge for 1 girl. You can keep on changing the girls throughout the day! But there is a (I think 500 baht) joiner fee for the second girl, if you bring her at the same time. I hate this policy!

I stayed there couple of years ago. It's a very nice hotel with a good location. But it uses dynamic pricing, which means that the prices are above my budget during high season.

The joiner fee policy is the same as many hotels in Pattaya.

Anyone have thoughts regarding Dynasty Inn vs Baywalk Res vs Sandy Spring? I would like to try a new hotel this visit. All three appear to be pretty good, in a good location, and inexpensive. All also seem popular on this thread. Appreciate any insights.

Stayed at Baywalk Residence several times; no joiner fee, nice rooftop pool, rooms are quiet for the most part. Sometime there are kids running around in the afternoon, which may cause some nap interruption. The higher floor, the better.

LK manion.

Anyone stayed in LK MANSION pattaya.

Is it girl friendly.

Any joiners fees in hotel?

Or any other girl friendly hotel options near walking street.

Kindly guide.

Thanks.

All hotels of the LK chain are girl friendly, no joiner fees as long as you book a double room. There is a usually a fee for the third person if you decide to take two girls to your room. There is also a fee if you book single. You also get vouchers for breakfast, two per night and you can use them for anyone on the given date day are issued for. Also if you want to stay right on WS, the Siam Bayshore is girl friendly as long as you book a double room.

Last May I stayed in both. I had an ocean facing room and it was loud at night, but the sound ended around 1 to 2 PM. As I recall, the noise starts, oh, around 8 PM? I can't remember for sure, but if you take naps late in the evening prior to going out, you might want to book somewhere else, or at least get a lower east-facing room.

For my second week, after spending a week with my Thai GF in BKK, I returned and stayed at the Dynasty and it was quiet. Much easier to sleep there, and it is less expensive. But, again, I didn't tend to nap late into the evenings, and I was out by 9 or 10 PM not to return until 1 AM to 3 AM, so the nose was not a huge problem.

That said, I just make a preliminary booking for November back at the Dynasty.

Thank you SirW. I saw your post before asking. I am not so concerned with noise that will stop at 2 am, as I am usually out and about at that time. More curious about room quality / comfort / overall value.

Thanks.
