    Is Pattaya a really big place to walk around?

    in General Discussion about Pattaya

    Posted

    I have stayed on Soi 13 the past three trips. It is a fairly quiet street without all the beer bars. Easy walk to Walking Street and other bars or walk up to 2nd Rd and take the baht bus to Soi 7/8 area. Some of the hotels there are Dynasty Inn, Sandy Springs, Lek, and Whitehouse Condotel.

    Cheers mate. Sandy Spring is the one I might be staying at, seems to have really good reviews and a lot of them, the odd negative one but not everyone is going to like the same thing so it looks a good option at the moment.

    I stayed at the Lek Hotel on 2nd Road between Sois 12 and 13. I found that the location was very convenient. It is easy to get to Walking Street, Sois 6, 7 and 8 and the Soaps and bar complexes near Big C. The baht busses are frequent, although I had to wait for one for 2 minutes once.. :D There are also few good bars in the Soi 13 area.

    Cheers for that mate, appreciate the advice. :P

    Soi 7 ot 8 is a good location to base yourself. from here you can get to SOI 6 and soapies by going to top of the soi and getting a Baht bus for 10 baht. You can go to the bottom of the soi and get a baht bus to walking street for 10 bht. It is also very easy to get back to soi 7/8 from these areas.

    It's not a long walk to get anywhere in Pattaya (except the outlying areas where you probably won't go anyway) but the heat saps the energy from you, also you will not want to start you're evening out dripping with sweat. Use the baht busses to get an initial perspective on the place and then during the day you can go for a stroll around the area, if you get tired, just jump on a baht bus

    Hi mate, thanks for your advice. At the moment i'm looking at a hotel on Soi 13 with has pretty good reviews and everyone mentions what a good location it is, would you recommend that area? Thanks.

    Hey all, maps dont really tell much. And as I was looking to be near Soi 7 and 8 (I've read thats where the best nightlife is) I was wondering if it'd just be easier to book a hotel around that area or would it matter if it was on Soi 1, or 2 etc etc. Also, could someone tell me what "Walking Street" is please? I'm assuming it's a main road of go go bars etc or something like that, but I keep seeing references to it and am not totally sure what it is, is it a long road? Cheers all, much appreciated.

    Can anyone recommend a good Pattaya Hotel?

    I've stayed at the following cheap hotels and can recommend them.

     

    www.skytoppattaya.com

     

    www.pattayarentaroom.com Yensbai Condo

     

    Both have AC,TV,fridge, in room safe and they are clean. Sky-Top 450 and up. Yensbai Condo 499 per night and it's a better buy as the room is HUGE. Both are near the nightlife.

    Thanks mate, whats Pattaya like size wise? As ive really only just decided to go there now and havent had a chance to look up much info yet, is it easy to walk around the whole places you need to ie the beach, to get some food, bit of shopping, nightlife etc. Cheers
