Has anyone stayed at the new LK Pavilion?

I just posted this on the Yellow board, but thought I'd ask here as well...

 

On my most recent vacation in Pattaya, from Oct. 30th to Dec. 23rd, I went to Bob's BBQ near the N/E corner of 3rd Road and South Pattaya. The ribs were very good, although curiously both mine and my friend's were only lukewarm. I also had ribs twice at Tequila Reef (Soi 8) and the first batch was excellent; juicy, meaty, falling-off-the-bone tender, but the 2nd time they were overcooked, dry, tough, and not much meat...odd.

 

Anyway, I ate at Bob's with my friend and his Thai girlfriend. He is from the U.S. and retired to Pattaya a year ago. They asked where I was headed after the dinner and I said Buffalo Bar on 3rd Road. There was a girl I'd barfined earlier in the vacation who I wanted to see again. They decided to walk there and join me. Since I had a motorcycle, as we left Bob's I was walking it with them until we came to 3rd road, where I was going to ride to Buffalo and wait for them outside. We cut down the sidestreet outside of Bob's and were going to make an upside down L to get to 3rd. As we were walking we came to a new "serviced residence" building named LK I just posted this on the Yellow boardPavilion. It looked really nice, so we stopped to take a look.

 

Very nice lobby, with pool table, piano, area for band, lots of nice seating. We asked to see a couiple of the rooms. We looked at 2 different units, both were very plush and nice. The one I like the best was a suite type one, with a seperate bedroom, a large kitchen area, and a very nice living room. I asked about the monthly rates for the suite, and they said that it could be had for 30,000 baht if rented by the month. Sorry but don't remember the daily rates. I stay at the Residence Garden and get a rate of 30,000 baht a month there as well for long-term stays. The R.G. are suites too. But the ones at the LK were much nicer and more plush, except that the LK's sofa was kind of small compared to the RG. Even though it's nicer than the R.G., I'm so comfortable with the R.G. and the staff there that Ib would probably have to jack the long-term rates up for me to switch, however.

 

I seem to remember they said the 30,000 monthly rate would be raised in the future as this was a promotional offer for the new place, but I guess that depends on how successful they are filling the place and the time of year it is. If you are kicking around that area, you may want to check it out and offer your opinion. I'd really be interested in anyone who has stayed there and what you thought of the service, etc.

 

LK Pavilion (the card spells it 2 ways...Pavillion and Pavilion...) , 124/11 Moo 10, South Pattaya Road. It's very close to the N/E corner of South Pattaya Rd. and Pattaya 3rd road.
