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.

Some suggestions.

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

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.

Preferably quiet, so thick walls and under $70. Any recommendations?[/QUOTE]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.

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.

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?

First I want to thank everyone that took the time to respond to my inquiries a few months ago. I finally made it to Pattaya and checked in the LK The Empress on Friday evening. Check in was handled quickly and with a smile. The put me on the 8th floor with a nice view of the condo building next door and a small section of the beach. It is okay, I am not in the room for the view. Just have to keep the curtains drawn and taking a lady on the balcony is out of the question unless she likes to be watched.
The room is clean and spacious and the bed comfortable. Internet is okay and the housekeeper for my room is a treat. Of course it might be that I gave her a nice tip after making sure she was the one for my room every day. Got extra towels and water in the deal.
My package includes the Breakfast buffet which is extensive and has an egg station. I am sure there are better in town, but this one is more than sufficient. The hotel is about 20-30 steps from Beach Rd on Soi 12, now I just have to figure out how to get where I want to go from here and how to find my way. That is half the fun.
I paid 18 K baht for 8 nights all taxes and fees included from Agoda. I will stay here again for certain.
Again, thanks for the input.

[/QUOTE]My last stay at LK the Empress was 2017 and the floors were so highly polished that they were dangerous slippery wearing socks. I almost injured myself from that. A month later my friend stayed there and he had the same impression.
Has the slippery floor problem been fixed? That is a show stopper for me.
Hi guys,
I planning to rent Edge condo for 5 days but I don't know can I bring girl there? Anyone have experience with bringing girl to Edge condo? Thanks in advance.
Stayed 7 nights at the LK Empress.
Overall: very good breakfast with huge variety, no issues with girls (except 1 , who was 19 on ID but they don't allow under 20's).
Rooms and bed very good standard (I was in king Suite).
Location convenient to all places.
Only bad thing: balcony. I specifically wanted one and thiers was tiny, with a hot ac extractor making it impossible to sit there) see pic.
Dear Seniors,
I am coming in the beginning of September and will have to work from 18:00-03:30.
I need WiFi for ZOOM / G-Meet / facetime. I do not need movies / large file downloads, but latency is important.
Needless to say, I am looking for girls-friendly places (hotels / apts). 6 years ago, I stayed at a wonderful place which did not let visitors leave and got their cards before I oked their departure from my phone in the room or personally escort them out. But it was too much noise at night (I did not care then). So LK Empress sounds like a winner, except where did they take 20+ policy? Why not 18+??
Also I am not limited to Pattaya -- I would be happy to take a nice, attentive girl-friend for a vacation, but I have no idea how to find such a person. I am not successful in mobile apps, as people misrepresent themselves, so references would be greatly appreciated -- Please PM, if you can.
