I'd like to rent a place in Pattaya for at least a month. I'd like to have a kitchen with a stove and access to a nice swimming pool. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm hoping less than 30k / month.

The A / C unit in the larger room wasn't strong enough to keep it much below 80F. Conversely couldn't get enough hot water to get a nice Jaquizzi. Otherwise the large room was a lot of fun. I like the tripping lights and multi TV setup. Mirror above bed is a big plus!

Never had any problems achieving this. Also lots of hot water. No problems filling up the tub. Perhaps you should have had a word with the maintenance man. I'm sure he could have worked some magic with his screwdriver!
[QUOTE=Desp Xpat; 1470113]Have recently stayed at these hotels for almost a week each time. Here's my personal take on them.
LK The Empress: While scouting found that the prices thru most sites (including the Hotel website) were almost the same. However as I was contemplating on the place, the availability on the hotel site quickly evaporated from the hotel site (3 wks. Prior to actual stay, during off season). However I managed to find the same rooms available on Expedia.
Room: Sea View deluxe with Jacuzzi and balcony (US $100) –B / F and Internet incl.
Location: Walkable distance to Walking street / Soi-6 / Soi-LK Metro (some may not prefer it, but I don't mind a 10min walk taking in the views and I do walk at a reasonable pace)...[/QUOTE]Would agree with Desp Xpat and have to recommend Lk The Empress.
Pros: Rooms are in very good condition. The hotel seems to be newer. It has a Mediterannean design style but very nice. The hotel is excellent value, we found deluxe rooms for about $80 a night. I would call it a true 4 star, almost 4 1/2 stars for Pattaya. It is very girl friendly, the girls at the front desk know men come to Pattaya to monger and don't even ask for the girls ID. They mind their own business. Best of all, after you finish partying to the wee hours at places like Insomnia at Walking Street, you nap, wake up, and eat their delicious buffet brunch. Then, hopefully you go back to your room, rest some more and then feel energized to bang your chick again before sending her on her way.

Well that was a long time ago Growtek. Maybe time to take another look. Maybe fire up the Jacuzzi that you missed out on in 2006 or 2007.

I'm hoping less than 30k / month.[/QUOTE]I too have been looking for a place with a full kitchen and a large swimming pool for at least a one-month stay. Since my preferred form of exercise is swimming, the only place that I could find with at least a 20-yard or meter long pool is in Jomtien. It's a bit further out from the Pattaya nightlife than I would prefer, but not so far out that it's not easily accessible by a baht bus.
Here are a few links to rental condos in Jomtien that I found in my research. If you search further, you might find similar condos that are better and / or cheaper. There appears to be a glut of condos so it's a renters market so getting a place cheaper might be possible.

I have no first hand knowledge of any condos in Jomtien so the condition or quality is the great unknown. If you decide to rent a condo in Jomtien or if you find another place, I'd appreciate your feedback in case I want to follow in your footsteps.
Have you looked at View Talay 5 in Jomtien through dancewatchers. Com? I stay in View Talay 6 in Pattaya (next to Central Festival) and it is a great place. I do not have any first hand knowledge of VT 5 though.

SNIPPED.

TTh[/QUOTE]So you're picking up some chick (s) , whilst pissed, (in the wee hours) in the Walking Street. And what are you hoping for? Are you hoping for breakfast? What are the chances of you, NOT, waking up to enjoy that delicious buffet brunch? What are the chances of that, unidentified chick, spreading some unidentified substance all over her breasts? You, in your party in the wee hour's condition, gobble on her breasts. She makes noises of approval. 24 hours later you wake up. Missing that delicious buffet brunch. Missing banging that chick again Along with all you valuables. Which, in your party into the wee hour's condition, you left on show in your safe. As for the unidentified girl. Well, the minding their own business staff, probably didn't take any notice as she left. A lot richer than when she entered.
Moral of the story. We love girl friendly hotels. But we need these hotels to have girl friendly security. Because, some of the girls, are not so friendly.

It's directly on the baht bus route into town, is well run with good security. View Talay 5c is closer to the beach and is of an equal standard.
They have laundry services, mini mart, Internet cafes and restaurants on the ground floor.
[QUOTE=CorporateMalaya;1473123]Till what time is the breakfast on?[/QUOTE]Hi CM,
First of all, although it does not belong to this specific thread, appreciate your report on the Pattaya thread. Very few guys do take time to share such a detailed one. It inspires me to write my FR too, hopefully will do it asap.
BTW, the B / F timings are standard timing upto 10:30 AM if a remember well. If B / F is your thing, at similar price, one of the best in town is Siam Bayshore (B / F open upto 11:00AM). Although pretty close to Walking street it looses location wise to LK The empress if you consider Soi-6.
Bro 2012,
I have to agree and disagree with you. Shouldn't we all be Bar-Fining instead of Break-Fasting? Hehe. For someone like me who only visit Pattaya occasionally, doesn't booze at all, gym everyday, wake up everyday at the same time due to habit (office timings- I mean live & work in SEA) , B / F could be a consideration. But for most in Pattaya, who's only exercise is mostly on the bed (that's the way it should be, isn't it- damn me) , they wouldn't freaking care about B / F. Each on our own.
[QUOTE=Desp Xpat;1473273]Shouldn't we all be Bar-Fining instead of Break-Fasting?[/QUOTE]Good question there Desp Xpat. Yes of course we should! Make sure you do!
Does anybody have any intelligence or opinions regarding the 'At Mind Serviced Residences'?
I assume it's guest friendly? (If not it's probably in the wrong town!).
The reviews I found were mixed but they mainly complain about the 'service' which is not normally a big deal for me provided the accommodation is decent. But if anyone can advise of any positives or negatives (particularly negatives, for example is the aircon inadequate? Is the Internet too slow? Are there cockroaches six feet tall?) it would be much appreciated.
By the way I have searched this thread, but I couldn't find anything!
Dear All,
I am about to visit Thailand again but this time, I wish to stay only in Pataya. Last trip to Pataya, I stay in a hotel, the place is just so so for me but I am not so much liking their receipt format, as I am on a business trip and I don't want to present to my accounting dept a bill that looks like a motel format (I wonder if the management already did change it, as per my last suggestions). Anyway, I am looking for a decent hotel that is girl friendly and yet near the walking street and of coarse near those action area. Any good suggestions will be much appreciated.
Cheers,
MD
