IN ALMOST ALL MY VISITS TO PATTAYA, I’VE STAYED IN MANY DIFFERENT PLACES FOR MONTHS AT A TIME SUCH AS WALKING STREET (JULIE HOTEL AND LA FONTAINE), SOI 8 (PRINCE HOTEL), AND SHITTY NOVA PARK. BUT IF THERE’S ONE PLACE CLOSE TO MY HEART, IT WILL ALWAYS BE SKY BEACH CONDOS IN NAKLUA ON WONG AMAT BEACH. SKY BEACH IS THE TALLEST CONDO IN PATTAYA. IF YOU’RE ON ONE OF THE HIGHER OF THE 41 FLOORS, ALL YOU HEAR IS YOUR OWN BREATH. THERE ARE 500 UNITS BUT MOST ARE BOUGHT BY BANGKOK THAIS WHO MIGHT COME 1-2 WEEKENDS A YEAR. SAD BUT TRUE.

 

HERE’S MY HOMAGE TO SKY BEACH:

Great pictures. Very nice sunset shot.

What's the tariff on the condos?

How about the Julie Hotel?

Can you get to the Julie Hotel by Taxi?

Many Thanks.

Thanks Sam. I was paying 15k+utilities per month. There are cheaper rooms but you may not have sea view.

 

The Julie Hotel is on Walking Street (bring your earplugs) at the foot of soi 16 which is where all those new gogos were built (Catz, etc.) so yeah, you can get a taxi there anytime.

 

Ask for room 201 or 301. You lucky man!

My friend stays at 40th floor at Sky Beach Condo and he loves it. He's paying 25K per month for 1 bedroom plus utilities for seaview. But one thing he's very scared about is fire in the building. If it happens, he's "f_cked" as he put it. He can't take those stairs down since he'll have a heart attack.

do you have contact details for skybeach?

Tel.: 66-38-412245, 370708/17

421885/6; Fax: 410407

 

The good manager there is Khun Bunchauy (BOON-CHOY). His English is perfect and he's very helpful. If you deal with Khun Nong, the incompetent rental manager, good luck... :banghead

Blueeyes - thanks for the pics and info - much appreciated. Does the Sky Beach have an email address?

You're welcome and thanks for the kind feedback.

 

It does have email but I no longer have it. I think I found it on the net or maybe it was once I was there in person. I can't recall. I'm going for a swim on Wong Amat sometime soon. Is there something you want me to find out for you?

whats with the white chick.

something different for the night?????

I've been here nearly 2 years straight only meeting Thai girls. Sometimes it feels like that movie Groundhog Day. Same body, same hair, same face, etc.

Once in awhile I'll purposely go for an older or chubby girl to shake things up.

 

When I had the chance for something different, I took it! :unsure:

Blueeyes, you appear young to me. How did you retire so young? And what's the secret? I have 3 years and 11 months to go and I'm counting everyday.

Hi Blue Eyes - sorry for not responding earlier - I'm after the email address so I can make a few inquiries about availability and long term rates and maybe make a reservation.

I'm sorry. I don't have their email anymore but as I said, I might go for a swim in that area soon so I'll try to get it then. Otherwise you should send a fax with your email included and they will likely write you back. Whatever you do, DON'T deal with Khun Nong. Chok dee. ;)
