Pattaya Hotels

[Allover]

I think only the rooms at the west side of the Whitehouse Condotel, facing the parking garage, are quiet.
The rooms on the east side are facing the Dynasty Inn hotel, where punters and girls are often partying on the balconies late at night, and the beer bar at the corner of Soi 13 and Second Road.

I believe the rooms at the west side are Deluxe Rooms only.

Last year I stayed in what they call a Superior room and it was on the west side of the hotel. I prefer the superior room even though it is their smallest room. It is still a good sized room. I'm trying to make a reservation there now for next month but I'm not getting a response. I wonder if their reservation system is offline?

I've long recommended the Whitehouse Condotel. It's a chill place that caters to early-rising golfers so it's usually pretty quiet at night.

I'm looking for hotels near street walker action, basically walking distance from where I can get street walkers back to my room after a short walk. Preferably quiet, so thick walls and under $70. Any recommendations?

Note: When we talk pricing around here we prefer to quote rates in Thai Baht because readers hail from many countries. USD $70 works out to 2,380 Baht (at 34 Baht to the Dollar).

Most of the freelance street walkers can be found on the west side of Beach Road, between, say Pattaya Central Road and Pattaya South Road. Also known as the "Coconut Bar. " There are plenty of hotels on the east side of Beach Road. I recommend using your favorite search engine (Agoda is good) to search for a place that looks appealing to you. Bear in mind that the freelancers tend to congregate toward the southern end of Beach Road. Once you've identified a prospect, you can search this forum for reports on that hotel, plus online reports from Tripadvisor and so forth.

Bear in mind that Thai girls absolutely HATE to walk. So their idea of a "short walk" will probably differ from yours. If you're going to do this, I'd suggest a hotel within a couple hundred meters of where Beach Road turns into Walking Street.

Be advised that traffic there can be intense, especially during high season. It's going to be noisy. Finding a "quiet" room with "thick walls" is going to be a challenge. Also, the hotels on the east side of Beach Road south of, say, Soi 13/2 are pretty basic. On Soi 13 there are some nicer places that are only a short walk to Beach Road. I've long recommended the Whitehouse Condotel. It's a chill place that caters to early-rising golfers so it's usually pretty quiet at night.

If the "point and shoot" experience at a modest price is your goal, consider Soi 6. Or the massage shops on Soi Honey. In both locales you'll take care of business onsite. Book quiet lodging on, say, Soi 13 or on the east side of town closer to Third Road. Just a suggestion.

Hi guys, I'm looking for Hotels near Street Walker action, basically walking distance from where I can get street walkers back to my room after a short walk. Preferably quiet, so thick walls and under $70.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

True in general but the best restaurants in Pattaya are comparable. Places like Royal Grill Room, Cafe des Amis, Radius, and Toscana.

I would add Casa Pascal to the list. Not the breakfast / brunch buffet (as much as I love it). But the a la carte menu.

Fine dining will be on a lower level than you're find in BKK.

I will be in Pattaya for my birthday in November and wanted to spend a night or two at a luxury resort or something like that. What would you guys recommend? Will most likely bring a 'girlfriend' with me too for at least one night.

I was looking at Grande Centre Point Space since it looks cool and has a small waterpark for guests.

Would like some recommendations for fine dining, as I will be splurging for my birthday and not be as frugal as I normally am.

If you're looking for larger resort places, go further away from Pattaya Central. Especially if you already have company to take with you.

Some suggestions.

Now that the buffets at the Lek and Apex hotel are closed, and the people from Casa Pascal are enjoying a well deserved holiday, I had to look around for other breakfast buffets in this area.

LK The Empress, 7 - 11 AM, 300 Baht.
Lots of choice, more than last year. They also have dark bread now, for example. I mean darker than before, not that brownish bread that is something in between white and dark.
However, the coffee there still sucks.

Centara Azure, 6:30 - 10:30 AM, 293 Baht.
The choice and ambience are comparable to LK The Empress, but the coffee is much better, and they also have freshly baked dark bread. But only one type of bread, not 3 or 4 like Casa Pascal.

On top of Mike shopping mall, on the side of Second Road. Not finished yet.

I passed by the Baraquda several times last week and it didn't look closed. Will check again today if I think about it.

I have checked it again and it looked open to me. No signs at all that it's closed.

[Mogwai]

I was trying to book Baraquda for September. Unavailable on Accor website. Unavailable on Expedia, Agoda, Hotels etc. This is the Expedia message "Is Baraquda Pattaya Mgallery currently open? This property is closed from June 1 2023 to December 31 2024 (dates subject to change). ".

I passed by the Baraquda several times last week and it didn't look closed. Will check again today if I think about it.

Oh I forgot about that. I assumed 2nd Road would have been fixed by now since it was like that Fall, 2022. Has Soi 15 been fixed yet?

Second Road is not fixed yet. And Soi 15 not entirely, but the road is not blocked anymore.

How is the fitness center at The Amethyst?

I don't know, I didn't use it. But on Tripadvisor somebody commented that "The Gym is modern and clean, although equipment selection relatively poor. ".

The Avenue mall has basically nothing open. Some vendors on the lower level on carts and tables, but no place inside to shop. Granted it's been 6 months since my trip, but I would hardly consider a semi-abandoned shopping mall to be a selling point for their location.

I concur that The Avenue Mall has seen better days. When I mentioned that the Hotel Baraquda was close by, I wasn't suggesting that was a selling point. I was merely providing a nearby landmark. As most gents are aware, it's possible to walk east through the ground level of The Avenue and reach Soi 15, Soi Boomerang and Soi Buakhao. Plus the Grand Avenue Condo and the Centara Azure Hotel.
