Thanks F&S,
I booked it!
[QUOTE=Fun And Sun]I say go for the "superior" room. They are bigger, more recently renovated, cleaner, and lighter. Bathroom also has a much nicer shower. On my last stay there I ended up in one of the regular rooms since they were out of the "superior" rooms.[/QUOTE]

I stayed at dynasty INN pattaya a few years ago, have they upgraded they're televisions to UBC or at least more channels. When I was there they only had 12 channels I think
Ploughman mentioned [url]http://www.hotels2thailand.com/[/url] as a site to look for hotels, might have other hotels than listd on [url]www.agoda.com[/url]

[QUOTE=Ploughman]As for hotels (since someone mentioned), FWIW you can sometimes find deals like $40 or $50-off for 3 days (electronic coupons) on dealfinder or travel boards. Orbitz had a recent one with code AORB40. Have done a few trips on those, and in Pattaya it dropped the all-in net per day to $13, even with breakfast and the room booked for 2 people. Sunshine Hotel on soi 8 is probably the best mongering choice linked to Expedia and Orbitz, with Citin Loft another girl-friendly possibility. Expedia also lists the Sawadee places, but I avoid them.
Hotels2thailand.com has lots of places that no one else has...it's run by a Thai travel agency that'll do the bookings via phone if necessary. There are also places like the AA (soi 13) or Nautical (soi 10) that have been around for a long time, are in good locations and can take walk-ins in low season. Rooms can often be a bit tired, though, with not all problems fixed or everything necessarily working.
For first-timers, I'd recommend against booking in Jomtien (too far away from most things) and say to take Naklua or Soi Bua Khaw only if other options in the baht-bus loop are booked out.[/QUOTE]

I don't know/remember, I didn't watch TV very much but think there were a few English speaking channels with news etc, and a bunch of Thai channels. E-mail them and ask?

Fellow Mongers,
I am planing my next trip on christmas and new year.
Now I have included my list to:
Areca Lodge.
Nova platinum.
Sabai Resort.
Sabai Lodge
According to RTFF the aforementioned hotels are GF ofcourse i will write them seeking their confirmation but i always any thoughts and inputs will most appreciated as usual as far as location to walking street.
Yeah, Nova platinum is girl friendly. Just take her to the front desk so she can hand them her ID before heading to the elevator. If you go to the elevator first the security guard will yell at you to stop you.
Guys,
Nova Platinum asking for 2800 THB for room only very expensive i know i am going during the christmas and new year but i was there in 2006 at Sabai lodge and it was only 1600 THB can you help me guys with anything around 2000. THB want to save the money for the mongering hahah.

Since you are not returning to Sabai lodge next trip, can I assume that you don't like it? Can you tell me what you don't like about it because I was thinking about staying at Sabai lodge in March.
Csun 213,
Well as a matter of fact sabai lodge was ok but I need something upper standard don't get me wrong I need to change although when in Bangkok I will always stay at Majestic Grande.
With respect to Pattaya, phuket I like to change the resorts don't know why but I fear that through the years the hotel become outdate or lack of renovation last time I was at Sabai lodge was during new year 2006/2007.
Anyway there is Sabai Resort that I might check it out with respect to Areca lodge it is now definitely not on my list it is very small hotel and I now remember that when I checked it was under construction besides the lobby, restaurant and the rooms seems very standard from their website.
I hope my Agent get me good price at Nova Platinum on Asia Rooms I get rate of 62. US$ Guys any other suggestions for nice resort in south Pattaya with good pool and room near walking street will be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Thailand is LOS
Its been awhile since I’ve contributed anything useful. Thought I would post a bit about North Pattaya, a topic not much mentioned here in the forum. And I know that this is the Pattaya Hotel Forum but in the end you’ll see the tie-in. I strongly recommend this part of town for staying to those of us old farts with a lot of time on their hands. After all we aren’t nuts deep 24-7. Most of us require a little RandR between punts. As mentioned I posted this in the hotel forum in the hopes that while folks are looking ahead to rent they would stumble upon this and truly consider North Pattaya as a destination. While more layed back and quite upscale , North Pattaya is just the place for extended stays and it is still only 5-10 minutes from Beach Road. There is a link or two at the end of this post for rentals info at Wong Amat Beach.
First off the North Pattaya Area begins at Pattaya Nua, or Pattaya North Road. It is where one first comes into town on the bus and also hits the top of Beach Road. It is also where the “round-about” is located at the top end of 2nd road. Second Road becomes Naklua road here after passing the round-about and continuing north.
North Pattaya Area includes the majority of the tallest of Hotels and Condos strung along Wong Amat Beach and is considered the upscale part of Pattaya.
There is a noticeable change in ambience and character here. More like the Pattaya of old. Oh, there are still thousands of girls and plenty of customers but for the most part the customers have become what might be classified as recreational punters! That is to say they tend to be over 40 years old and enjoy a nice peaceful beach, excellent food, lower prices and are able to keep their pants on for longer than just a few hours. They/We are no longer able to brag about how many skirts we raised in 1 hour either. Rather we like to slice off a chunk (when we can) between reading a book, sun tanning or sleeping the day away. Oh yes we still dream about the good ol’ days and occasionally still have our moments.
I just now walked up from the beach to a high rise condo where I have an un-interrupted view of every part of the bay. Condo rental fee? 16,000 baht one month. That’s less than 600bht per night and it includes a fabulous pool, weight room, sauna, poolside restaurant, in room internet, cable tele, 550 square foot beautiful rooms, kitchen, breath taking views, in room safe, 24 hour security and a nice large sea side deck. I was down at the beach having some lunch at a wonderful restaurant (literally on the beach) that consisted of a large plate of breaded and deep fried shrimp and onion rings with a banana shake. Total cost??? 95 Baht!! A nice helping folks! This place is located up Naklua to soi 16 at Wong Amat Beach. Turn towards the beach on Soi 16 and go to the end, make the corner towards the north and continue to just past the Family Mart. You are now at the foot of the older THREE TALL WHITE CONDOS which are seen from the main part of beach road. They are in fact the northern most tall condos in Pattaya and are on Wong Amat Beach proper. Anyways in between the two beachside tall rises is a small soi heading to the beach. Disregard the “private road” sign if you are going to eat at one of the many beach restaurants or are staying in the area. It really is OK and you will have no problems, promise.
Anyways like I said the purpose of this post is to inform our members of alternative areas of Pattaya and encourage those staying a bit longer to check out the north part of town. Generally if you want a killer view room cheaply or if you are just the occasional spelunker you’d probably like this. To be sure it is not for everyone. Most likely not for the under 40 members. Transportation is the only downside. Of course there are motorbikes for rent next door and there are motorbike taxis everywhere but it is about a 30 baht ride to beach road from Won Amat Beach.
Enjoy the pix of the condo I stayed in below and also check out the link to the reality company included in this post. It is a tried and true reality company which is one of the few that offer monthly condo rentals and they are located in Pattaya. I think they have rentals in other parts of Pattaya/Jomtien as well but not sure. Now I know I know what some of you are thinking: I’m spamming for my business……but I’m not. Promise. They have treated me well and I trust them, that is the only reason I offer their link. They sold a Condo I had a few years back in this neighborhood for me and now rented this place to me. Excellent English spoken as well as Thai and Russian (maybe others as well?)
