I have also booked late August but although staying in Pattaya for three weeks have only booked 3 nights and will then make up my mind to continue or move. Always plenty of options August September.

Looking forward to brekkie at Pattaya Petes in 50 days

I have stayed at Secrets on two occasions and can recommend the hotel. As previously stated it has steep stairs and no lift so not suitable for people with disabilities however that aside the rooms are great for the price, food in bar excellent and the girls gorgeous. A ten second walk to Walking St down Soi 14.

Yes dined there four times during August, choice of soup or two entrees, three mains of which I had the Fillet steak each time extra 20 baht and choice of two desserts 260 baht and they bring you a complimentary liquer after your meal. Excellent service and very helpful and polite staff and the meals are excellent. They also have a full menu to chose from including stroganoff dishes. Soi 13/1 walking down towards the beach on the right about three quarters the way down the Soi. No smoking is allowed in the restaurant or deck area but they have seats outside to enjoy a puff for those that do including me. Highly recommend. Then enjoy a beer and the band at Wonderful bar corner of Soi 13/1 and 2nd road. Good band and nice people and very popular bar. Singa beer 40 baht. Cheers

The beer garden will definately be on my must do list in August. Like a quiet drink during the day and in good suroundings. Pool table could be a good ice breaker for the shyer BMs as long as they dont distract from the atmosphere. Have you got a website or is one being developed?

Unfortunately I will miss the party too, but looking forward to 8th August

I intend spending some quiet time there in August, knowing you are not going to get hammered by BGs after LDs. But if one comes along and we click greta for both of us. Keep the beer cold at Pattaya Beer Gardens and you will have me as a customer a few days when I am there.

No, is it cheap

Don't know anything about their accommodation but I have dined there and never,never again. Rude staff, crap food and expensive. So if the accommodation is anything like the experience my wife and I had in their restaurant and you stay there good luck to you is all I can say.

Sound great, look forward to it.

Any BMs staying at Pattaya Bay resort during August and interested in meeting for a few drinks during their stay?

All room charges are for 1 - 2 people My son is also joining me from England and the following is the reply for his booking E-mail 3 Low Season (15 April to 31 October), Standard Room, Internet Daily Rate - 999.00 baht per night, for 1 or 2 persons. The rate includes: American or Asian Breakfast Plan for one (1) or two (2), daily room cleaning, bottled water, fresh linen and free wifi and internet.
