Pattaya Hotels

[PayForIt]

Only been here once and loved the beach. For me the best in the entire area. But a bit out of the action.

Does anyone have a hotel recommendation in the area?

I'm not a fan of bar-fining (prefer GC or on premises Soi 6 etc) so not bothered about joiner fees etc. Just wanted a recommendation for a good top end hotel on the beach.

Stayed at hard rock (Had Lok to the scooter taxis) 5 days last week. Definitely recommend city view due to noise- could hear the music loud until midnight or so. But bringing ladies from soi 6 is a breeze. Half just walked with me, and going in from beach road you can just go straight to the elevator- didn't have to bother with girls checking in or leaving ID. The breakfast buffet looked real tasty but everything there is overpriced. But room was nice and staff was awesome. Looking for something similar- close to soi 6 -but a little cheaper if anyone has any suggestions.

You can look at Centara Pattaya Hotel or Discovery Beach Hotel.

Won't be any issue if you take the girl for LT. If she lives in Jomtien you may need to add 100-200 baht for Bolt. ST could pose some problems though if the girl has to return to her gogo bar on Walking Street.

Thanks. I am planning for long time. Probably full night. Confused between this villa property or LK the empress.

My only concern is can I pick a girl from walking street or sio 6 to this place? Will the distance will be a problem for them?

I am travelling to pattaya on first week of April. And I found this good private pool villa "villa raya private pool resort" in north pattaya. It is 5. 5 km from walking street which will be a 15 min drive. My only concern is can I pick a girl from walking street or sio 6 to this place? Will the distance will be a problem for them?

The reason I chose this place is to fulfill one of my wild fantasy of banging a girl in the pool.

If you have free time you can walk in the sort of reception area and ask several agents what's on offer. Plenty of empty Units at the moment so you can get the best deal. In terms of guests no issues. And if you lack sleep choose a condo facing Walking street direction. Central Festival side get so noisy from 7 am esp the parking lot and loading bays with trucks deliveries.

I saw that many people recommend VT6.

1. Are there any legit vendors from which you can rent apartments at VT6.

I want to make sure I'm not renting from a shady website.

2. How is it bringing guests to VT6 versus a hotel? Is there a reception? Do they take their ID?

3. Can you bring multiple gusts?

Thanks.

What more do you want?

Maybe he wanted some other meat than chicken and had no taste for the ubiquitous floating sausages (90% bone-flour) or for the floating slabs of non-descript ham. Real bacon. Some cheese. Some real (non-fake) yoghurts. Maybe he expected some fresh fruit juice (instead of industrial crap laced with sugar). Some fiber-rich fruit instead of the ubiquitous water-melon (is there a law in Thailand prohibiting hotels from offering more than three kinds of fruit at breakfast?). Some real bread instead of the zero-nutritious aspirin-white toasts.

Breakfasts in Thailand are abysmal, much like food overall. Thai food is delicious they say, except it's low in proteins, high in salt, sugar and irritants. What can you expect? Custom duties on healthy food like beef, dairy, vinegar, olive oil etc. are extortionate. Plus, Thais are lazy and not interested in doing cooking that makes sense. Catering for tourists? Forget it: more like cattle-feed the tourists. Eggs are only the sole nutritious food in Thai breakfasts, except to get a fried egg that is not runny you need to ask umpteen times, like it was rocket science. Cheap, cheaper, cheapest: the governing principle of catering in Thailand.

1) If you are in Pattaya just walk in and ask in the offices lining the ground floor.

2) Yes reception take the IDs of all visitors.

3) Yes you can. At no additional cost.

These 2 are well known website for VT6 since years.

Some condos will ask for ID card, some condos will not blink a eye and ask nothing to your guest.

In the condos you can bring back home guests you want, important is not disturb your neighbors.

The only downside is the breakfast is a little lack luster if you want a western breakfast. Eggs on the buffet were fried medium, a little runny. The meat selection is only chicken sausage and slices of ham. Bread selection was white, wheat, various rolls and buns, and silver dollar pancakes and french toast (though the later two, not both at the same time).

They also had a Thai selection, fried rice, pork, chicken, etc. Fruits were cut watermellon, mango and pineapple.

Worst part was the hot drinks. Tea brewed in bulk from lipton, coffee seemed to be the real deal, but they have both sitting on a hot plate and it very often ends up boiling both. I was able to ask the kitchen to make an omelet as well as fried egg hard though.

What more do you want?

I have checked out, so I might as well review the hotel I stayed at.

Best Beach Villa, right in the middle of Soi 5. Equal distance to both second and beach road. I would say the rooms are a good value. They are large, there is ample space, room to work on a laptop if you've brought it, and places to charge your phone right next to the bed on either side.

I didn't use the pool nor gym, but it was available. No issues with bringing back a girl.

Noise was acceptable. It never kept me up.

If you are going to spend your time on soi 6, this is probably the best value you can get.

Hey guys, I work in the airlines and travel standby which sometimes results in delays or cancellations. Can anybody shed insight into any pitfalls I might find if I book my hotel when I arrive to Thailand? Will the prices be exorbitant? Nice rooms / guest friendly or convenient places booked up?

My dates are arrive Feb. 28th til March 7th.

Thanks in advance!

The rate for one time housekeeping with change of linen at VT6 for a 90 m2 condo is 1000 Baht. If you stay more than 3 weeks buying a cheap vacuum cleaner might be a good idea. So much for Thailand being a low-wage country.

Wow, that's really taking the piss. I usually stay in Bangkok these days, and never paid more than 500 THB, not even last summer when staying a 10 minute walk from Soi Cowboy in a posh 2 BR condo. Bed sheets I wash myself though, as I know how to use the washing machine and wash in the morning means dry in the evening.
