Hey guys,
I'm in Bangkok and thinking to do a day trip to Pattaya just to monger.
Is this feasible?
Is there any hotel you'd recommend for a day stay?
I don't really like Pattaya itself but the amount of women there is so much more, so looking to see if I can squeeze it in my schedule.
Hello,
I will stay a couple of nights at LK The Impress hotel in Pattaya. I found it on "guest friendly hotel" and since I want to be close to the beach, this will do. Anyone has stayed there before?
Thanks.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]Yes. The room floors were so highly polished that they were dangerously slippery wearing socks. Something was funky with the shower plumbing because it wouldn't maintain a constant temperature.
This was my complaint from a few years ago, but a friend also had the slippery floor complaint last year.
Otherwise, it is quite good.

You say you don't like Pattaya so what made you come to that conclusion on your last visit? I searched for a field report from you but didn't see any.
You're looking at a 4 hour taxi ride so only you can decide if it's worth it. However, imo if you're going to come with a negative attitude you're likely better off to stay where you are and like.

Sometimes you have to switch it up, explore, get out of tourist areas, make some local Thai friends, take part in the culture, get creative, etc.
A day trip to Pattaya is doable, but is it optimal? I don't think so. Thus, If I were you, I would stay in BKK and forgo the roundtrip taxi ride, unless, you have never been to Pat, in which case, I might just go to see what all the hub bub is all about. Girly Pattaya is fucking amazing, but so is BKK. Personally, I think a week is the minimum amount of time to spend in Pattaya and 2 weeks is better than 1,3 weeks better than 2!

Did anybody stayed at sabai lodge in (s lodge in) on soy 2?
Is it safe, clean, ladies friendly?

Every hotel is girl friendly in Pattaya.
It is basic and clean, but it is Soi 2, almost Naklua.
Staying at the Kokotel South Beach hotel now and recommend it.
It's just off soi 15, next to Soi Buakhao, but far enough away from bars so that it is quiet.
The WiFi is good and it has a small pool, although I have not used it.
To reduce the use of plastic bottles, they give you two glass bottles and have a water filtered machine on each floor, which you can refill as much as you like.
The room is big and has a large king size, comfortable bed. The staff are very friendly too.
I booked it last minute and got the room for around 1000 a night but without breakfast. Great value at that price, highly recommended.

2 months ago unknowingly I booked a hotel in the heart of Boys Town, but after the fellas saw me going in and out with the GF in tow a few times, didn't bother about my presence anymore.

Soi 2 is OK if you concentrate on Soi 6 for mongering. You can either walk there, or take the baht bus.
However, Sabai Lodge has only an average rating on Tripadvisor. So I wouldn't go there, if I were you.
But I don't know a better alternative in the same price range. Not close to Soi 6 anyway.
[B]View Talay 6[/B] remains my recommendation. Of course if your don't have flow that has allowed you to build your stack then it's not for you. ALL of my friends stay there at my recommendation. They have stayed other places and been unhappy. But [B]View Talay 6[/B] keeps them all happy campers. Of course my crew rolls like I do. So the price is not a problem.
