@HansomMan. Thanks. for your reply. Do you remember if their WIFI is in the room or just lobby. When I asked them(email), they just replied yes we do have free WIFI. Tom.

Hi. Will be staying in Pattaya for 1 month. Both hotels(located between the Apex hotel on 2nd road), are offering discounts for long stay. If you have stayed at the Diana Inn OR Ice Inn, can you tell me: Did you have any issues with the hotel? Would you stay there again? Did the hotel have WIFI in the room or in lobby? I have viewed the rooms on their website. They seem ok for budget hotels. Thanks. TC.

Hi. I have been offered a similar discount at the Diana Inn on Second Road and Natural Beach Hotel on Beach road. Never been to either hotel, I was wondering for those who stayed at either hotel or both what would be your recommendation. Diana Inn require 2000 baht deposit to hold the room. Also, do both hotels require mandatory Id's for your guest check in? Thanks. TC.

Hi. It was reported on Pattaya One news, the local govt is offering a 3 month promotional package in Pattaya to stimulate the tourist industry. See link to story here. http://www.pattayaone.net/news/2009/april/..._21_04_52.shtml One of their proposals is to have some hotels(who will participate) offer room discounts for that 3 month period beginning in May. My question: Is there a Thai tourist website or online travel agency that will list the hotels participating in this discount promotion when it begins in May. Specifically how can the public get information about all

Hi. I will be on a budget next year traveling to Bangkok. There are 2 budget hotels on Sukhumvit Soi 4(Nana Tai) Rd that meet my price range. 1. White Orchid Inn 2. Rajah Mansion I realize you get what you pay for, but hopefully they are not too much of a dump. Does anyone have any experience or information regarding the accommodations of these 2 places. Thanks. TC

Cookie Monster. One question please. Does the Haven hotel require all female guest (you bring in) to leave their Id at the desk? Or is it "up to you". Thanks. TC.

Hi. I just left the Baybreeze hotel after a month’s stay. I checked-out of my room on April 1st at 5:00am and was told I had to pay for that day even though their checkout time is 12:00 noon. Maybe I’m confuse but it seems to me I should only be charged for that day (April 1st) starting on 12:01 pm. When I brought this up to the night staff, they stated “after midnight half-day started, we charge for the full day”. Anyways, I couldn’t stay and argue since my ride to the airport was waiting. Can someone who has stayed at this hotel explain how the no charge for room works in

Be careful of the Buffet being served there. I saw a small roach racing around inside the big pot of steam rice last week.

Thanks to everybody for your help. Regyai, this link seems to not be working. Tom.

Yes, I thought of that, but if by chance my hotel will not safe-guard my bags unless I pre-book a room. Were there other alternatives available?

Hi. Is there a storage service available in Pattaya one can leave luggage temporarily for a nominal fee. I will be going to the Philippines for 10 days and would prefer to bring my carry-on bags on my flight. Thanks. Tom.

800 baht for a standard room. btw were there more than 1 english movie channel when you stayed. To answer the posters above. I have booked for 7 weeks at the baybreeze in Feb. Will check-out the room when I arrive. If I don't like it, will leave. If ok, will pay for the first week up-front. Thereafter will pay in full if cleaning and maid service are acceptable. Thanks. Tom.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. Tom.

Hi. Having limited my 2 hotel choices down to Baybreeze and Sawasdee Seaview (on Soi 10 near beach road) for my 7 week stay, I am requesting some feedback from members who have stayed at one/both. And which hotel would they prefer. Location isn’t a problem. Both appear to be walking distance to the beach. Sawasdee Seaview is offering me a superior room that is 50 baht more than Baybreeze’s standard room. I am not too concerned about room size but not looking for a matchbox. Would like a room with a refrigerator and a hard bed. No smell of mildew when entering the room. Sin

Hi. Does the AA hotel on Soi 13 or the J-House next to Royal Garden have an email for contacting? I will be in Pattaya for 6 weeks on February 8th and need a budget room around that area. Thanks. TC

Hello stinger_sd. What better hotels would you recommend in South Pattaya for THB 750-800 price range that would be available for a monthly stay. thanks. Tom.

Hi. If you have stayed at the Lek (old wing) and Welcome Plaza which hotel would you recommend. Considering: - Room appearance (bright vs. dreary) Cleanness - Size of both rooms - Security staff & boxes in room or lobby - Bed Comfort & size - TV. Number of available English speaking channels Based on my inquiry, prices are about the same THB 750.00-800.00 for a standard room. Normally I would stay at the Inn House but they have increased their rate for a standard room from THB 750.00 to THB 942.00. Thanks. TC.

Thanks.

Hi. I was told there is an apt-hotel next to the Inn House on Soi 13. I believe it's called Mansion. Can some give me a review of the rooms (good & bad points). I am looking for a place to stay for a month in July around South Pattaya for 25,000 THB or less. Thanks. Tom.

Thanks.

Hi. Does anyone have an email address (if available) of the Natural Beach Hotel on Soi 10. I tried Goggling the hotel but only came across a sponsored link requesting prepayment for booking. Thanks. Tom.

Hi 3 quick questions. Does the Vault hotel have elevators? Do they have Cable or Satellite TV? Can I reach the hotel by walking up Second road ? Thanks. tom

Thanks for the quick response from everyone. This was extremely helpful. In my case i am 48 years old and plan to live in Pattyay/Bkk for about 7-8 years on my current savings (which having done the math hopefully will be enough w/o getting a job). Pattaya Pete the tourist visa maybe the way for me to go, I am from New Yor City and i've been to thailand more than 15 times... so roughing the trek a bit is not a problem. How does one join the expat club? Also Ray, if i gets this standard non immigration visa with 4 entries 90 day per entry, then it seems that would last

Hi. I will be moving from NY to Pattaya next year. I hope to get a 60 or 90 day Visa at the Thai consulate in NYC. When my Visa runs out i can apply for a 30 day extension at soi 8, but eventually i will have to leave the country to get a new Visa. Questions: 1. What is the cheapest route to take (excluding air) leaving Thailand to get a 60 or 90 day Visa? 2. Are those Visa agencies in Pattaya reliable? 3. Explain a little more how long does a 60 day double entry Visa last. If i leave the country before the 60 day (double) expires, is it still valid. Sorry for all

Hi. I will be staying in Pattaya around the end of February. I am looking for a room not to exceed 400 baht. Are their rooms in Pattaya for this price? Can anyone recommend a decent room either in Central or South Pattaya? Thanks. Tom :)
