Nivla,

 

Ive stayed there on several occasions. For the most part I was ok with it.

I dont know which website you chose when checking into it.

Private parties rent their units out when not in town, There is a rental place across the street from yensabai that does that and the owner himself of the bldg has an office downstairs that rents them out.

 

If I may offer a tip. Not to be rude but dont rent from the owner. You get the bare bones Thai style rooms. Rent from a western owner or office. They know what your looking for. New ac units and fans bigger and better TVs VCD's you know what I mean. Higher up the better try from 5th floor up.

 

Yensabi is about a 12-15 min walk to the strip. It is a preferred place by folks staying for a while and say with a motorbike. There are motorbike taxis out front if you need one. Also cheap laundrymats too. Little stores dot the street to.

 

Very nice swimming pool. Use it in the AM cold in the afternoon but very nice...

 

Yensabi has a high gay population> I dont know your preference. They however have no problem at all with the straight guys with the girls. I have never run into anything. They are very quiet.

 

So bottom line: Find out whos offering the unit. Good place for a cpl week stay or longer..

Oops almost forgot. Guest friendly?? Absolutley...

 

Let me know how it works out!!

I stayed in the Yensabai apartments 3 years ago, i was in them for 3 months. A very good deal i was paying around 6,000bht a month + electric which worked out at about 600 a month. As for guest friendly i stayed there with a Thai girl and also on more than one occassion took an additional girl back and never had a problem. I rented from a German guy in the shop on the corner opposite, all rooms had T.V, vid recorder or DVD player + cooking facilities etc. I would reccomend these apartments to anyone staying for over a month. The only downside was sometimes when walking home at night you come accross old men with young boys which turned my stomach a bit, but i suppose it is Pattaya and each to his own. If you want more details please ask and i will try to assist, sorry i do not have phone numbers etc but i could certainly give you directions to the shop that i went to rent. Size of rooms goes on how much you want to pay a month. I would not book on net unless you are sure of what you are getting, if possible book when you get there as you can then check the room before you pay.

Nivla I have a link to the rental office that Les 21 mentioned. Only problem with the Yen is they book up way in advance with long stayers so you have to contact them very early...

 

I agree Les a good deal for the money.. But busy getting rooma lately. My last stay there was Feb 06...

 

The situation you mentioned that u didnt care for is very busy in that area although they never bother you but the big party area for that lifstyle is on the corner and directly behind then Yen...

 

When you weigh it out thought still a good deal for the money..

 

take care

 

Nivla if you want the hotlink let me know

Yensabai rooms are in multiples of 40sqm. I looked a couple of years ago and turned it down, not because of price or the rooms themselves but I did not feel comfortable with the walk from 2nd Road to the condos. Too many people with no obvious reason to be around there at night.

 

I have seen also in recent months that prices have gone up. To be honest, anything at 10k or above there is way overpriced. Bt8k or thereabouts for a good quality room would be fair if you can accept the security aspect and really want to live that close.

 

Centre condo is another option but it has a reputation of break ins. I suspect that each apartment has differing security though.

Doesnt look too bad to me I stayed there in Feb for 3 weeks...

 

least you can see what your going to get...

 

But you have to book get in contact way early.

It does take a good 15-20 mins walk to the strip
