Any recommended new cheap hotels in Pattaya?

[plahgat 523]

Hi guys!

I will soon land in Pattaya again, end of January!

Just wondering if you have any new cheap hotels to recommend?

Preferably in Soi LK Metro/ Soi Bua Khao/ Soi Lengkee area, but also South Pattaya or some place close to Second road might do!

Looking for monthly rent of less than 10000 baht electric not included.

Aircon room with big fridge, cable TV 21 inch or more, big clean bathroom with hot and cold shower, clothes-cupboard with hangers, desk with lots of drawers, makeup table and mirror, and an extra small table with two chairs, and some ample lighting at night enough for reading would be great.

Free Internet access in the rooms is a must.

Balcony (with furniture if possible).

Within walking distance to bahtbus routes, shopping and entertainment areas.

Stayed at Tycoon Place for 8500 baht last trip and enjoyed it, except too poor lighting in the room at night and no bahtbuses passing by at night except for expensive taxis!

Year before I stayed at Thai Archer Guesthouse in Soi LK Metro for 10000 baht a month/low season, best room I ever had great lighting with dimmer function, although the soi was pretty noisy some nights!

Have heard they are more expensive now 15000 baht up per month?

I always arrive late evening around 21.00 and never prebook any hotels, so first night I just walk around Soi Bua Khao and take what I can get for 1 night, and then I scout around for a new place next morning, but it is always easier if I have some places on my mind to check out before I go!

So any new places to recommend....?

I would really appreciate it!

 

Thanx in advance!

I think you can still find some farang-owned guesthouses in that price-range, but in general Soi Buakao(w) is not so cheap any more. Some years ago many BGs shared apartments there as the rent was 3,000 baht, now it's at least 4 k for a very simple room with toilet. Now Naklua Rd Sois are more popular.

A new hotel opened recently on Soi Buakaow across from the night market. Also another hotel might be ready to open when you arrive in the Soi LK Metro area across form the Cock and Bull.
