Anyone have any recommendations for medium-priced guest-friendly serviced apartments in Pattaya? My budget is up to 5000 Baht per night. This is for high season (around Christmas). Having checked this thread and also checked a well-known review website (the one with 'Trip' in its name) I am none the wiser.

I'm not too bothered about location. Other than price, here are my main criteria (in order of importance, with the most important first) :

- Preferably a 1-bed (but a larger studio would be OK as well)

- Kitchenette (or kitchen, but I'm not planning on doing any cooking!)

- Flatscreen TV and DVD player.

- Nicely (or even luxuriously) decorated.

- Not too noisy (I. E. Not directly above a bar, not too noisy in the daytime, and no major construction going on nearby)

- Gym on site or nearby (not essential)

- Pool (again, not a dealbreaker)

On previous trips I have stayed at the Hard Rock (too kitsch for my taste) and the Dusit D2 (I liked it a lot, but for the larger rooms the prices around Christmas seem rather high).

I stay in View Talay 6 which is a condo building next to Central Plaza. Just spent 3 weeks there. You can look at these two sites for availabilty and full details. Though, it might be hard to find something for High Season. Give it a look see.

Hello all, I am planning on being in Thailand for a week and a half from the states. My intention is to be in Bangkok for two days, then to either Phuket or Pattaya for 6 days then back to Bangkok, maybe a day trip to Agnor what (can't be all mongering).

I am planning on doing this in style and I have seen pictures of hotels with what looks like private pools to take their guests. Can you suggest a hotel like that in Pattaya? If there are Hilton, Hyatts or Starwood resort / hotels that are GF would be a bonus since I have a high status at all of them.

Any input would be appreciated. I know Phuket is really the place to go but with the news about some unfriendly native action lately I may avoid. I do want to be here to escape and relax as well as have some fun.

Thanks in advance.

ANGKOR W A T is in Cambodia not Thailand. No way for a day trip.

You need a lot of homework then.

I know Angor what is about an 8 hour bus ride from Pattaya, in Cambodia, so I may spend a night there, I will have to look up travel schedules to there from Thailand but I do want to see it.

Thanks.

If you have 10 days I thinl 2 days in Bangkok 5 days in Pattaya and 2 days in Phuket is good, but if you want to go to Cambodia and Angkor what you need 3 day is about one hr 30 min flight from Bangkok to Siem riep air fare is not cheap and you must paid a 25 USD visa on arrival is a great site must see.

Yes I stayed there last year (as mentioned in my post not far below). I think I had the second smallest size of room available (if that makes sense). Personally I liked it. Location was convenient and the place was very clean and modern. If I remember correctly the breakfast and the pool were fine too. It was totally guest-friendly as far as I was concerned (although I only brought in one girl per night).

[QUOTE=BambiJacobson; 1307736]Has anybody stayed at the dusitD2 baraquda Pattaya?

Been searching for at report but have been unable to find one. I am planning my first trip to Pattaya in September and I want to find a high end hotel that is close to the action.[/QUOTE]

The location is super convenient, especially if you're new in town. There is everything you could possibly need within easy walking distance: Starbucks, convenience stores, restaurants plain or fancy, money exchange, laundry and beer bars galore. You can also easily walk to the up-and-coming naughty boy hangouts on Soi LK Metro and the food stalls on Soi Buakaow. If you're headed for Walking Street it's a quick stroll from the D2 to Beach Road where you can catch the baht bus. (Or keep walking. It's really not that far.) Coming back with your go go dream girl it's a very quick trip via baht bus headed north on Second Road. The same baht bus route takes you north past the Hard Rock to the delights of Soi 6.

The rooms at the D2 are very modern with a minimalist vibe. All have a balcony overlooking the pool in the courtyard. The air conditioning worked great and the housekeeping was fine. Didn't eat breakfast at the D2, because I much preferred the buffet at the Lek Hotel across the street where you can dine poolside.

I just have two nitpicks. First, the internet was a little slow and slightly dodgy during my stay. Second, the Dusit D2 charges top dollar, so it's definitely not a value proposition.

[QUOTE=Horny Landoora; 1294943]Thanks but rates are over USD 50 when I checked it out.

Does any one know of good place for USD 30 / USD 35?[/QUOTE]Since members are from many different countries, giving prices in USD isn't very helpful. How would you like it, if I mentioned prices in Swedish crowns?

This is one of the "studio suite" rooms.
