First time going to pattaya

[android_j 0]

Hi All, this is my first time visiting pattaya. Can the friendly folks here help to recommend a good hotel or resort? Budget around 1500 baht. Er.. must be girl friendly too. I don't want to end up paying 500 baht like i did for bangkok.

Hi! Just a start for you Dynasty Inn soi13(good location) about 1200bht maybe cheaper now.Ok hotel very small pool though. No charge for 1 girl to visit but 2 or more you may get charged,a few reviews in the Hotel reviews section here. Whitehouse Condotel soi 13 from about 1250bht for standard room,quite a new hotel, no pool but room nice.

Lek hotel soi12 from about 750bht (old wing) 1200 bht (new wing) Nice pool nice friendly service. Those are 3 that I have stayed at recently,have also heard good reports on Sandy Spring,soi 13.

Quite a few hotels on soi7 and 8 will let others who haved stayed there comment,but also good location,many bars on your door-step.

Hope that helps a bit, the Hotel reviews section is pretty useful here.

Have a Good Trip!

I normally stay in a Condo but have stayed a couple of times at the Residence Garden. Price within your budget, nice apartment style suites, 2 Pools and guest friendly. Book it through this site and get a special rate.

Have a good holiday

many guys like hotels on Soi 13 since it splits the distance between Walking street and Soi7/8. As stated above check out the hotel review section for the comprehensive list. It breaks then down by prices, which is helpful.

Yes it is but i think you will find Sabai Resort more better for you http://www.sabairesort.in.th/lobbygarden.htm

I can recommend Rosie O Gradys pub in Soi 7, great rooms, right in the middle of the action, ony 750 bhat per night.

 

You will find that the rooms are subsidised by the fact that the pub makes its money on food and drink.

 

Great owners Darren and Colin.

Throwing in my two cents, I recommend the Mark-Land Hotel on Soi 1. The reasons for my recommendation:

 

1) Around 1300 Baht

2) Nice staff

3) VERY Guest friendly. No joiner fee. I have had several lady visitors at the same time.

4) Nice size rooms

5) Nice size bathrooms that are clean with a tub/shower

6) Every room has a balcony with a view of Pattaya Bay

7) A beautiful glassed in restaurant on the 27th floor with a BEAUTIFUL view of Pattaya from north to south. A buffet breakfast, included in price of the room, is served there every morning.

8) Has one of the only, if not the only, glassed in elevator which is very interesting to the ladies since most have never ridden in one

9) Very nice pool area on 5th floor which is usually very quiet with a very nice view out to Pattaya Bay.

10) Near many new beer bars on Soi 2, Big C, Sabailand Massage, short walk to Soi 6, etc.

11) To get to the beach, just cross Beach Road.

12) A family Mart at the end of the driveway of the hotel

13) Hotel has it's own spa

14) Close to many different ethnic restaurants. No baht bus needed

15) The restaurant on top is a nice place to bring a companion to watch a sunset and have a cold drink. Also, the restaurant is a nice place for dinner, romantic or otherwise. Very reasonable prices. Many nights they have a duo playing music for dancing.

16) Near several currency exchange booths

17) Quiet at night

18) Rooms have good air conditioning. You can leave it on while you go out.

19) They have an exercise room with different types of exercise equipment which is not crowded

20) Good cable reception with quite a few channels

 

I stay for a month every year for the last eight years.

I stay for a month every year for the last eight years.

Is there a discount for staying a month?

[ajweiss1 0]

donny

 

I book several months in advance and have been getting a better rate than shown on the hotel's website. The reason I book early is because I always stay mid November to mid December so the discount is nice since this is "High Season".

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks AJ.

If you go to the restaurant with a companion, be sure to take the glass elevator to the top floor, 27th. Your companion may never have ridden in one. Some of the ladies I have taken up to the top tend to grab hold of you the first time.

 

Also, if you go around 5pm they have "Happy Hour" and the drinks are lower priced.

 

I think if you go for dinner, you can sit inside or outside. Great View. Varied menu. Thai dishes, American, French, etc. Fairly extensive menu and very good prices.

 

During the day they have a downstairs restaurant, where the help and others, can get a cheap lunch.

 

Please don't tell anyone else about the Mark-Land, I don't need the competition for the rooms.

are there any internet facilities at the mark-land hotel? or a website address for them so i check it myself?

thanks

They have their own website. When I am in Yahoo I type in mark-land hotel pattaya. Then scroll through until you find the website for the mark-land hotel itself. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Even if you stay at a different place, go by sometime and check the hotel out. Take the glass elevator to the top around happy hour, 5pm if I remember correctly, and have a drink or two. Watch the sunset, around that time for November/December, with a lovely companion or two.

 

Last year they didn't have an internet connection but there was a little shop across the soi that had a couple of internet computers. I would go up to Big C or any of the places near the hotel if I needed to check E-Mail or other internet stuff. I haven't checked this year if they have any internet connections. I must admit that the internet has a low priority of importance to me when I am in Pattaya. My Rnterest is getting a good "plug in" with the lovely ladies.

 

One other nice feature I like about the hotel is that there is no bar directly near the hotel. So, you are free to roam without worry about having the female grapevine record every girl(s) you are with. Yet, if walk walk up the Soi to 2nd Road there is a new complex of beer bars where you can find plenty of new companionship and music. It is also a short walk to Sabailand for a soapy.

 

Last year they opened several new restaurants very near the hotel.
