I will be there from NOVEMBER 23rd until JANUARY 3rd. Any names of hotels that fit the criteria would be helpful.

I would appreciate any help in finding a hotel that has most of the following: 1) Around 1,800 Baht a night (including breakfast) 2) A room with a sea view 3) Guest Friendly 4) Balcony 5) Clean rooms and bathrooms 6) North Pattaya, if possible but not as far as Nakula or Wong Amat Beach, along Beach Road as far north as 2nd Road 7) Bathtub/shower combo 8) I want to be able to stay about 43 days starting around November 23rd - January 4 9) Elevator 10) Swimming pool I usually stay at the Mark-Land Hotel Soi 1. I have read recent reviews that the hotel, is now serviced apart

I would like to know if anyone has any current information about the Sunshine Hotel & Residence? 1) How are the deluxe Sea View rooms? 2) Guest Friendly? 3) Cleanliness of room/bathroom? 4) Food quality? 5) Hotel staff friendly/helpful? 6) Quiet at night? 7) Any other relevant/important information Thank you very much for any help about this hotel

I am interest to know if the new Holiday Inn on Beach Road, North Pattaya has opened yet? Also, any information about it if anyone has stayed there yet, especially their daily rate. Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes. Every year I buy my VIP Membership and pay with plastic. No problem. I haven't tried the new club in Pattaya but since everything is supposed to be the same there is no reason why it shouldn't accept credit cards also.

I used info@directrooms.com. They got me a rate of 1,400 per night for my stay, November 26th to December 26th. This includes breakfast.

I usually arrive around the 3rd week in November. I have found: The weather is around 85 - 95 degrees during the day and can get into the 70's at night. Just great. The last several years it hasn't been that humid. Also, it has almost never rained. When it did, it was only for a very short time. Many days there was a nice breeze. The prices didn't seem to be any higher. Lots and lots and lots and lots of lovely ladies, ok I like a nice selection, all over. Walking Street, around 1am to 2am, is still one of the wonders of the world if you are male. The parade is wonderful. If y

Dear vikingprince: I suggest Mark-Land on Soi 1 and Beach Road. Some reasons: 1) Very girl friendly 2) Nice size rooms 3) Nice size bathroom 4) Each room has an outside balcony with a view of Pattaya Bay. 5) Restaurant on the top floor (27th) is all glassed in and serves very good food. Very nice place to take a companion for a drink or dinner. 6) One of the only hotels that has a glass elevator. Most of the Thai ladies have never ridden in a glass elevator. 7) Good air conditioning that can stay on with the room key. 8) Very nice pool area on the 5th floor that is never crowded

At the Mark-Land there is no security check and you can come in the side from the parking structure and not go through the lobby. There is a laundry service right across the soi.

My suggestion - Mark-Land Hotel Soi 1 For the following reasons: 1) VERY GUEST FRIENDLY 2) Bed big enough for 3 (not two beds together) 3) Good size room with fair size refrigerator 4) Nice size bathroom with tub and shower head 5) American buffet breakfast included 6) Friendly staff 7) Onsite spa 8) Very nice pool area on fifth floor with beautiful view of Pattaya Bay 9) Beach is just across Beach Road 10) Quiet end of Pattaya 11) If you want beer bars, just walk up soi to 2nd Road. A whole new cluster of beer bars 12) Very near Sabiland for soapies 13) Very near Big C Mal

I live frugally during the year. I take only one vacation for 6 weeks to Thailand. Try and party like crazy during my stay. Then 10 1/2 months of recovery. Then start the cycle again until retirement to Pattaya in about 3 - 4 years. Then it will be reversed. Vacation in the States for 4 weeks a year to see my married friends and rub it in about how nice it is to bonk the lovely ladies that are the same age as they were when I was in my teens and 20's. Of course, being in my fifties I appreciate them much more now.

cd They have their own website. When I am in Yahoo I type in mark-land hotel pattaya. Then scroll through until you find the website for the mark-land hotel itself. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Even if you stay at a different place, go by sometime and check the hotel out. Take the glass elevator to the top around happy hour, 5pm if I remember correctly, and have a drink or two. Watch the sunset, around that time for November/December, with a lovely companion or two. Last year they didn't have an internet connection but there was a little shop across the soi that had a couple of internet comp

EnglishPaul If you go to the restaurant with a companion, be sure to take the glass elevator to the top floor, 27th. Your companion may never have ridden in one. Some of the ladies I have taken up to the top tend to grab hold of you the first time. Also, if you go around 5pm they have "Happy Hour" and the drinks are lower priced. I think if you go for dinner, you can sit inside or outside. Great View. Varied menu. Thai dishes, American, French, etc. Fairly extensive menu and very good prices. During the day they have a downstairs restaurant, where the help and others, can g

donny I book several months in advance and have been getting a better rate than shown on the hotel's website. The reason I book early is because I always stay mid November to mid December so the discount is nice since this is "High Season". Hope this helps.

Throwing in my two cents, I recommend the Mark-Land Hotel on Soi 1. The reasons for my recommendation: 1) Around 1300 Baht 2) Nice staff 3) VERY Guest friendly. No joiner fee. I have had several lady visitors at the same time. 4) Nice size rooms 5) Nice size bathrooms that are clean with a tub/shower 6) Every room has a balcony with a view of Pattaya Bay 7) A beautiful glassed in restaurant on the 27th floor with a BEAUTIFUL view of Pattaya from north to south. A buffet breakfast, included in price of the room, is served there every morning. 8) Has one of the only, if not the only,

Dear laffnliv: I wasn't going to write about the Mark-Land because it is already to popular. I stay one month (end of November to end of December) every year. I stayed at a different hotel one time in 9 years and always wind up at the Mark-Land. Why: 1) Nice size room 2) Bathtub/shower 3) Clean 4) Good air conditioning 5) Nice pool area and never noisy or crowded 6) Exercise room with weights and machines 7) Every room has a balcony with a view of Pattaya Bay 8) They have a very nice restaurant on the top (27th floor) that is glassed in. Every morning they have the break

There was a restaurant on the second floor, if memory serves me, of the Royal Garden Mall that had grills in the table. It was on the same side of the mall as the Sizzle only one floor above. You ordered a meat and/or fish platter and it came with different vegatables that you cooked yourself. It was on the right hand side of the mall if you were facing 2nd Road. I don't know if it is still there or not. The grill used charcoal. The wait staff would get it started and you cooked the food the way you wanted it done.

In Pattaya - Mark-Land Hotel Soi 1

Thanks to you all. My friend is flying out from Sacramento California. He might spring for the $800 - $900 for Evergreen Deluxe but he said when he checked it was around $2,000USD. I don't remember if that was EVA's website. If you use Travelocity, Orbitz, etc. I don't think you can specify Evergreen Deluxe. He is considering towards the end of January 2005 and into February. I will inform him of the info. Keep sending it in since he still has about 2 weeks before he has to part with the cash and buy the ticket.

My friend wants to travel to Bangkok in February of 2005. He has been looking at EVA for that period and found that for Evergreen Deluxe it around $2,000USD. Are there any reliable U.S. travel agencies that can get him a better deal? There doesn't seem to be any other airline that has the "Evergreen" class of service. It is either business class or steerage class. My friend is a bigger person and economy seats for 13 or 13 hours are killers. He doesn't want to pay business class prices but he would be willing to pay a little more for the comfort. It seems to me that a few years a

travelingfox: I told myself I wasn't going to recommend this hotel because it has become to popular. Also, somebody had a bad experience and gave it a bad review which I hoped would make it easier to book. But I remember how glad I was to stay at this certain hotel the first time I stayed in Pattaya. I always stay at the Mark-Land on Soi 1. This is my opinion only. My reasons: 1) Every room has a balcony with a view of the ocean. 2) The rooms the last 7 years run me about 1,100 Baht through Ultima Travel, I stay from the end of November to the latter part of December. 3) The hote

I told myself I wouldn't post another recommendation for the Mark-Land on Soi 1 because it has gotten to popular. But since this is a board where I have gotten a lot of information over the years, I can't not respond without a guilty conscience. I like the Mark-Land very much. It is at the north end of Pattaya. The rooms are large and very clean and so are the bathrooms. I have only stayed in the standard rooms on the 10th floor. Each room has good air con, a refrigerator, plenty of closet space. Ask for an odd number room because every room has a balcony. The odd number rooms have a balc

As my esteemed webmate jimmac wrote, the Mark-Land is a good place to stay. It fits all your requirements except for the in room safe. I have never had a problem with using their safe deposit boxes in the lobby. The Mark-Land has: 1) Nice swimming pool with a beautiful view of Pattaya Bay. 2) Nice size rooms. 3) Very Clean. 4) Nice size bathroom with tub. 5) Good air conditioning. 6) Nice restaurant on the 27th floor with a killer view of Pattaya from North to South. 7) Quiet. 8) No Guest Fees. 9) Exercise room. 10) Friendly Staff. 11) Near Big C, beer bars, GoGo's, Restaura
