Pattaya Hotels

[Breadman]

I fell for it and I should have known better. I was shown a credit card ticket to sign but on it was the price in baht (basically the one I'd agreed on when I booked online) followed by an exchange rate in euros, then a total in euros. The exchange rate was not a good one and this should have made me sit up and take notice, plus the fact that the employee told me it was an exchange rate "from the bank". It was the hotel's own poor exchange rate, nothing else. I was tricked into agreeing to pay in euros at an exchange rate at the hotel's discretion. That hotel employee had her little scam well-rehearsed. Lesson learnt.

What did they get you for?

They do that in all Hotels in Thailand, nothing out of order there, just choose local and not your home country.

Not all hotels. I've never had a bill in Euro's. Only bahts.

Hope they offer Breakfast also for the visitor staying overnight, in case you booked room for 2 and staying single.

Just in case someone is considering Mercure, I got this email today.

Hello,

I am going alone to Pattaya and will be there for 6 days. Pleaee suggest if LK Empress hotel is good in terms of getting a GF and distance from Main Action areas.

Cheers.

LK Empress is a girl friendly hotel and no problem of getting GF. Its on beach road and is quite near to action places like Soi 13/2, walking street and not far from Soi 6. Good choice of hotel and have a action packed holiday.

BRB.

This visit I have booked the Grand Hotel Soi 14 which is off Walking Street and in an email reply they said 2 girl no problem. I will re-read the email because I'm sure it may even say any number of girls. The Penthouse is great when you have a threesome but they want to charge of 810 baht per girl! A bit rich considering that only a clean towel will be required.

The exact answer to my query with the Grand Hotel to my question regarding 2 to 3 girls in my room was " you can do it not charge".

I will of course save this email to my phone and I tip for extra towels.

On two occasions, I had problems in Pattaya for bringing in more than one guest (girl) to my room without additional joiner fee for the 3rd guest (2nd girl). I was alone but had the rooms booked for two guests, as always. Only at Penthouse, I was able to bring in two girls at my room at the same time without any additional charge. Having bitter experiences from the two occasions (one being Aya Boutique, other I don't recollect the hotel name exactly) I never tried this to other hotels except Penthouse.

Any suggestions from fellow mongers about hotels at the beach road or even at the second road, who would not mind a 3rd guest (two girls at the same time) joining at the room. I read through the last 5 pages but did not quite get the answer. Would appreciate your help in switching form age-old Penthouse to any new places for my next trip coming end of this month.

Cheers, TFE.

It does look amazing. Would be great to see reviews.

I rented that exact unit 3 years ago for about 2 weeks. It was through a different site back then. The room is huge. The master bedroom is large and master bath is way bigger than anyone needs. The 2nd bedroom is not large but has its own bath which is nice. The sofa was really worn out by too much sex so hopefully it has been replaced. Kitchen is surprisingly tiny for such a huge place. Their is a 180 degree balcony that has a view likely second to none in Pattaya. Girls love the place and run around everywhere taking selfies. They WILL NOT leave for days. Only downfall I remember from the place is there were a few ants in the closet area but that is one of the issues with the aging VT6 these days.

2 girls in room without joiner fee for either is no problem in Sandy Spring hotel in Soi 13. They put 3 set of towels for the rest of the stay. Leave ID in reception. They call your room to hear that everything is OK when girls leave. Great service for in room massage from the massage parlor on the other side of the street.

Thanks for the link, I was referring to this apartment but not remember on what site I had seen.

Not through dancewatchers, I don't think.

I think View Talay 6 have apartments with 2 bedroom and jacuzzi. You could check on Honeycoffee or Dancewatchers if they have this kind of apartments available.
