Anyone got a tape measure?

[LilWilly 0]

I'd sent an e-mail to Sabai Lodge regarding accessibility and monthly rates and got a reply back that one of their quests (Our Eddy) would reply to the accessible questions and Sabai Lodge (Care) would send me the monthly rate. Eddy's reply covered all my questions but one, so I sent a reply to Eddy and Care but have not heard back yet.

 

Is their anyone out there with a tape measure who can tell me the standard clearence* of the bathroom doors in hotel rooms in Pattaya? I'm partiicularly interest in the Sabai Lodge and Sunshine Vista.

 

 

*Note: By clearance, I don't mean the frame opening as the door usually blocks part of the opening. 30" frame opening MINUS 2" door width when open = 28" clearence. Standard width for interior doors frames here (Canada) is 30" and I can breeze through those in my wheelchair pretty much without thinking about it. Door's are typically 2" thick. I can get through smaller openings with a little care.

 

 

P.S. Sabai Lodge still hasn't sent me a monthly rate. I don't know what Eddy said to them, but Care has refered me to Diana Resort (which is not convient for me) and don't seem to want to tell me the width of the bathroom foor or their monthly rate.

Lilwilly,

 

They don't go to the trouble to tell you because they will rent the rooms if not to you to another If I owned a Tape Measure I would be happy to stop by and do this for you as I find my self walking be these two places many times in a week. Seems they would take a minute and do this but they are just not that customer oriented

I'd gladly pay for the tape measure when I arrive in February - with a beer or two for interest.

 

Heck, if you through in some pictures of the room and washroom/shower arrangement, I'll pay the bar fine for the BG of your choice.

Thanks Soi7 and thank your TG for me. I'm planning on being their Feb 1 to 28. I'll buy you both a couple of beers.

Just a suggestion if you haven't thought of it yet. If there does end up being a problem with clearance you might ask them to just pop the pins out of the hinges and set the door alongside or under the bed. I don't know if they'll do it and it won't afford you much privacy but it could be an option. I have to wonder if you'll be able to swing the door closed with the chair in the bathroom anyhow. I've stayed at Sabai but can't remember if they have walk-in(roll-in) showers or regular bathtubs. A walk-in shower might solve that problem once you get through the doorway. Also, for some reason, I'm thinking, depending on what section in the Sabai your room is in, there might, repeat might, be a problem with stairs. If I were going to be there I'd be glad to help you out but don't know if I'll make it this year. Good luck wherever you stay.

 

It just dawned on me that the room I stayed in at Sabai(new wing) had a walk-in shower with a glass partition. Clearance to get into the shower is another question.

Larry,

 

If she can't find one I have one and its in inches not metric, let me know if you need it.

Emil,

 

Thanks but I will pick one up if she can't get one as I may need it one day.

The door width may be the least of your problems with the bathrooms in the older parts of the hotel.

 

When you enter the bathrooms you have to step down two or three inches. I suppose they were built this way to keep any water from the showers from running into the room. You won't be breezing through those doorways. And Centcm is right.....lots of stairs to get to many of the rooms.

 

I looked at the rooms at the new Sabai Resort across Second Road and the bathrooms were bigger but I can't remember if they have the same drop-off as the Lodge.

 

I've stayed at Sabai four or five times and they've always resolved any problems I've encountered while there. Good luck to you and enjoy your stay.
