Pattaya Hotels

[Rambo1969]

Hi.

This will be my first time in Pattaya.

I generally like freelancers vs club gals. So I am planning to stay at Lido beach hotel which is easy access to freelancers on beach Road plus be able to easily go to walking street.

Any feedback about Lido beach hotel. Any reason to NOT stay there?

If you have coin, View Talay 6 is my hands down favorites. All of my friends that did not take my advice regretted it.I 100% agree on this, and would definitely buy a unit if I was in position to do so. The units / rooms are huge, the location is unbeatable, and they have endless services on the 3rd floor (massage, market, restaurant, dry cleaning, ATM).

They have airbnbs from owners but they're always booked. They also have listings on booking.com.

Avani Pattaya is my second favorite, but yes as far as condos go, this one is the best. IMO.

Unfortinately, multiple WGs have said it is the “#1 for expat balcony jumping” so it no surprise many of the terraces have nets.

Hi guys,

How is the Base Infinity Apartment from Air BnB.

[SubCmdr]

View Talay 6

Rooms range from 4700 - 1400/night (High season) from Dancewatchers.

The longer your rent the lower the price per night that you pay. But their rooms are very popular and if you do not make reservations before high season your options may be limited.

Choose the deluxe cleaning package if you want your room cleaned spotless 5 days a week. The crew that cleans your room are top notch consummate professionals and they are very good at what they do.

I left them 500/ week per cleaning tech plus a lady drink.

They have a excellent website and their pictures are accurate. I have been in four different rooms that they offer in View Talay 6.

They also offer rooms in View Talay 5, View Talay 2, View Talay 1, but all of these buildings are located in Jomtien and I know nothing about them.

*all prices in THB.


All that you said is true. But if you rent the units that are part of the DanceWatchers organization in View Talay 6 things are different. I know the owner personally. He has standards that are requirements for upgrades of the rooms that the organization manages. So, if an owner will not meet the standards of the organization their unit will be dropped from the management program. I cannot vouch for the rooms rented by other room managers.

Flipper Lodge is close to Beach Road. I have stayed there. They have excellent security. I like that hotel. But book early. This is high season and it fills up quickly.Some time they were copying their guests credit cards there so I'm not sure I would recommend that place.

Planning March trip to pattaya and looking at hotel options. Do most rooms have a safe. I see listed many places but just to confirm, it's in the room and not at front desk? Thanks.Indeed as far as I know all hotels in Pattaya (and from my limited experience in Bangkok near mongering venues) have in-room safes. At one time I wrongly assumed this was the case throughout Thailand but it isn't. Once you stray away from foreign tourism or sex-tourism spots, no more safes in the rooms.

At one time I wrongly assumed this was the case throughout Thailand but it isn't. Once you stray away from foreign tourism or sex-tourism spots, no more safes in the rooms.There are a few hotels that I am aware that do not have safe in Pattaya. One example is Sutus Court.

[SubCmdr]

Flipper Lodge Hotel

It is an excellent hotel that has a 4. 1 rating in Google. It has an excellent location. Tight security and reasonable nightly rates. One negative is the walls are paper thin. You are going here your neighbor putting in work if they have the ability to do so. I pay cash when I stay there. Scan to pay is also a option.


Some time they were copying their guests credit cards there so I'm not sure I would recommend that place.If you are not using a credit card then how is it a problem? This makes no sense to me.

[PleasureOf69]

Please Can someone give some idea about this.


Hi guys,

How is the Base Infinity Apartment from Air BnB.

[Nitsy]

Please Can someone give some idea about this.I have booked here fro. 8 to12 Jan., after searching over web that bringing girls back is very easy, only minis is small space inside apartment and a queen size bed. Not much space for threesome.

[Explorer8939]

Please Can someone give some idea about this.The Base is located right in the middle of the action. The down side is that the apartments are small.

[Christian G]

Hi guys,

How is the Base Infinity Apartment from Air BnB.What you need to know about The Base? Is a huge complex condo with 3 buildings in Central Pattaya just next soi Diana.
Super small tiny apartment.
There is absolutely no control about who come and go, no ID card check for the girls, elevator need key card so you need to go down to meet your girls and bring them upstair.
I met several girls from TF who lived there.

[PleasureOf69]

Thanks all for the reports on The Base. If not Base can you suggest some good value for money apartment for 6 people.

https://www.dancewatchers.com/I have used them many times.

VT6 is right in the middle of the action, plus there is a back door that accesses Beach Road.

[Intrepid123]

Does anyone know of a ST room (can be a hotel that will allow ST) in the surroundings of Soi 6?

Not in a bar, not in a hotel that requires checking in / out and charging full overnight prices.

I want something simple that I could just use for like 2-3 hours with a girl and minimum hassle.

Thanks in advance.

[LoneWolff]

Are any of these hotels green?

I stayed in Amari Pattaya last time but did not bring any girls to the hotel, it seemed like a completely family oriented one.

Thinking about Akara Pattaya this time but they have not replied to my emails about their policy yet.

Any experience here, please share.

Thanks!!

[Member #4813]

I stayed at the Amethyst. It is a very nice hotel, albeit a little pricey. It is near a lot of the action, if that is what you are looking for. Not much need for taxis or Bolt.

There is a no smoking policy but most rooms seemed to have a bakcony (mine had an ashtray on it). There is a marijuana store across the street from the hotel.

100 percent guest friendly without a fee. The girl needs to leave her ID at the reception and they call you when she picks it up to leave the hotel to be certain she isn't sneaking out with stolen goods.

In summary, the hotel was perfect for my needs.

Thanks in advance.Not too close to Soi 6 but Love Time Inn does short time, it's not super nice but it's cheap and easy.

[SubCmdr]

1. Is this to Bar Fine a girl off of Soi 6?

2. Then pay a for short time room?

3. Then pay the girl for short time?

Sorry, I don't got nothing for my fellow International Tricks on that one!

Thanks in advance.I don't know anything with less hassle than going to a Soi 6 bar and short timing a girl from the bar in the ST room above the bar. Just pay the bar for the room, take the girl up, do your thing, then bounce. The ST rate for the girl will be cheaper too because she never leaves the bar.

[Rito1]

Anyone knows anything about the Discovery Beach hotel? It's right on Beach Road near soi 6/1. I am planning a trip there in April and I want to know if they are female friendly. If not a hotel near there that is. I don't want a condo or a Airbnb. I appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Hotels to Stay Near Soi 6

If your vacation will revolve around Soi 6, staying nearby is convenient. Here are some recommendations:

1. Sea Me Spring Too Hotel, Location: A 5-minute walk from Soi 6. , Price: $40-$60 per night, Why Choose: Modern rooms, rooftop pool, guest-friendly.

2. Pattaya Blue Sky Hotel, Location: Close to Soi 6, but quieter for better sleep. Price: $30-$50 per night. Why Choose: Affordable, clean, guest-friendly with great reviews.

3. Sabai Wing Hotel, Location: A short walk from Soi 6, Price: $35-$60 per night. Why Choose: Mid-range, good amenities, and guest-friendly.

4. The Siam Guesthouse, Location: On Soi 6, Price: $20-$30 per night. Why Choose: Budget-friendly, right in the heart of the action.
I'll add 2 hotels near Soi 6 on the other side of 2nd road. Most forget to search there so you'll find better rates. If you're on a budget Centara Pattaya Hotel about a 3 minute walk to Soi 6 at 40 USD. Altera Hotel and Residence 4 star hotel about a 4 minute walk at 70-80 USD but for a 45+ sqm room.

I've never stayed at Altera but it does look nice for the price.

I've never stayed at Altera but it does look nice for the price.The Centara is very popular with Indian people.
The Altera is indeed nice. I have stayed there a couple of times.
The downside of staying here though is, that you have to walk for about 8 minutes if you want to catch a baht bus at Beach Road.

Jomtien Thani Hotel

A hotel that is still under construction but is very close to being finished. I peeped it this morning while out running errands. This could be a four or five star hotel gentlemen. Just walking into the lobby and to the desk I was greeted by no less than five different employees who could all speak perfect English. On Soi 5 between Jomtien Beach Road and 2nd Road, it is located in a great spot. You can catch the Baht Bus to it off of either of the main streets I named above and it is close to walking distance of everything that I think is great in Jomtien. While still under construction they are offering some great deals on rooms. They call them their pre-construction specials.

Example

1500 THB / night for Regular room.

1700 THB / night for Deluxe Ocean View Room.

But this is a limited time offer. The above rates only apply until February 28,2025.

When a newbie has boots on the ground they know much more than a OG Vet about the present no matter how many years they claim to have spent in the Pattaya Glory Days ROTFLMO!


At least Sub posts reports. Whether you love him or hate him, he contributes useful info.

[ElPostino]

Does anyone know if March Hotel is guest friendly or green?

[CatBert55]

I'm planning for a trip this summer for the last week of July. I was in Pattaya last summer at roughly the same time. I stayed at the Baraquda. When I checked rates today, I saw that rates were roughly 2 x what I paid last year. Have hotel rates gone up that much in a year, or am I trying to book too soon? Last year I booked in mid June for a late July trip.

Last year I booked in mid June for a late July trip.I checked. Last week in July. Used July 23-30. Agoda ฿2,577. Seems Normal. If you got Baraquda for under ฿1,300 baht in 2024 you got a steal.

I checked. Last week in July. Used July 23-30. Agoda ฿2,577. Seems Normal. If you got Baraquda for under ฿1,300 baht in 2024 you got a steal.Last year booked on their website for ฿2,800/ night. Full cancellation, pay at the hotel. Same dates this year same rate, on website, ฿4,300/ night. But what I'm really curious about is if there's a pricing strategy I should be aware of, I. E. , wait until the start of low season before booking or something like that.

[Chance7]

Just an FYI, you may have no guests at this hotel. They will charge you 800 BHT.

Its not mentioned on their website, but, then they tell you its a property policy.

They are quite brutal about the whole thing, standing in the way of your guest as you both try to enter the elevator.

Do not recommend this property. Imagine if you had family or freinds visiting and they want 800 BHT each. I was pissed and checked out the same day. So many other places to go.

[Rockower]

Hoping some of you experts can help me. I've been to Bangkok a number of times but a newbie to Pattaya. I've just started watching some videos but still very much a newbie when it comes to Pattaya. Normally in Bangkok I go for gogo bars in nana or cowboy, and massages. I don't drink and have never really tried the bar scene like I've seen on the soi 6 videos. I could really use a hotel recommendation in Pattaya. Going in early May, mostly interested in the girls (of course). Looking to spend up to $150 a night, hoperfully walking distance to the night scene. Any help would be appreciated.

Use the search function: View Talay 6.

There are a half dozen posts by me an others detailing this particular location. I recommend that you book you room through https://www.dancewatchers.com.

Ask for the deluxe cleaning package. They will even handle your transportation from BKK to Pattaya. Perfect for someone who needs their hand held and refuses to read.

Another personal favorite is: Flipper Lodge Hotel. The advantage of this place is tight security. They will take care of you as a newbie.

If you are a cheap mother fuck: Apex Pattaya Hotel. Good if you don't want to take a street ho to your fancy room.

I suggest that you put a little work in and read. If you need more handholding PM me.

Will return to the land of smiles in one month now that Songkran is over! Sure its fun and I've enjoyed being there the last 3 years its been on but it gets a bit tiring after a few days and the final day last year, whilst memorable, was not something I would want to relive! Let the youngsters fight it out. If they adhered to sun down / guns down I would love it but going out in the evening nicely dressed to get soaked is not my idea of fun.

Anyways. Often rent a condo whilst in Pattaya if there for more than a month but this time have business in BKK so will only be in Pattaya 2 weeks.

I've previously enjoyed many of the 5 stars. Wave (great fro watching beach road activity) but no gym, Hilton (cannot do the two lifts thing any more as it irritates and the gym is way too small despite being close to Coco my favourite gym in Pattaya), Somerset. Not a fan - 2nd road is too manic for me and the rooftop pool area has a great view but is so small that to get a bed ain't easy, and last time out tried a few days at Amethyst just off Bukhauo which was decent enough and heart of things but not scenic. I like Royal cliff for the views and Sanctuary Resort (not 5 stars) - the great vibe of Pratunmak and have also stayed at Sirin.

Have contemplated either Arbour (which looks great in terms of rooms / rooftop pool and great gym) or Avanti. Arbour off 3rd road looks a bit remote? Would welcome views from anyone who stayed in either. Did a forum search on Arbour but one response only not recommending due to location. Would appreciate input.

Looking to spend up to $150 a night, hoperfully walking distance to the night scene. Any help would be appreciated.So for a first time in Pattaya I recommend you stay at Amethyst Hotel. It is in the very heart of the action near all the bars, near Tree Town, right on Soi Bukhao which you will love, near everything. Not the prettiest area but the hotel is superbly located and you can walk to everything other than Soi 6. As you know already from your trips to BKK, Bolt is so so easy in Thailand. So you need not stay near Soi 6 - the area around it doesn't have a lot to offer. Get a Bolt for next to nothing to Soi 6 and even the soapies up near Siam (Honey 2 etc) but you really want to be in the heart of it all for your first trip and close enough to walk to Walking St as you like agogos. But you should try Kink agogo and the others in LK Metro. Also very close indeed from Amethyst which is a very decent 4/5 star hotel within your budget. Have fun.

I don't drink and have never really tried the bar scene like I've seen on the soi 6 videos. I could really use a hotel recommendation in Pattaya. Going in early May, mostly interested in the girls (of course).I am currently staying in a 'Deluxe' room (B1,050 / $33) at the Queen Victoria Inn on soi 6, -- opposite Tomcats, Offshore, Exotica & Sexy In The City bars. Simple and basic in the heart of the action. Hot water, fridge, kettle, safe, TV, AC + ceiling fan. Draft beers and English / Thai food in the public bar.

My room entrance is from soi 6/1; the few ladyboys quickly learn to ignore you if you don't engage. Fruit stalls, noodle stands and 7-Eleven under 5 minutes' walk east. 7-Eleven sells 30-day, True Move SIM cards for B350 & the staff will register them, with your passport, immediately. 5 minutes' walk to Beach Road but quality of freelancers is quite low; YMMV. Can also hang around that 7-Eleven on the east side of Sai (Road) 2, and ask the good-looking girls, purchasing, which bar they work at. Some Thai teens are taller now, at 170 cm / 5'7".

Hot / low season now but hundreds of girls outnumbering tourists. Can save the bar's upstairs-room fee by walking her back to your room. There are also other properties on soi 6 with regular, guest-house-style rooms upstairs, which are generally more modern than the Queen Vic's. Poorly signed, so ask around. Bars are mostly populated by chubbies / shorties / plain-lookers, plus the occasional hottie who can state her price. Each bar has its own pricing and lady-drink policies. ST B1,500 up into the thousands; LT negotiable; heavy pressure to sell lady drinks to make the girls' quota.

Desire's live stream gives an impression of below-average young ladies. Curiously, they are the only bar with a live stream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jAr4UX6CLM
