Accomodation Help - Soi 6???

[maxpower1971 0]

Hello all....

 

need some help/advice...I'll be in Pattaya from the 10th December for a week (this will be my first visit)...so i was thinking of staying at Queen Vic on Soi 6 but now i'm thinking maybe it'll be to close to the action and maybe somewhere like Flipper Lodge etc will be better (though a little more expensive)..

 

I just can't make my mind up DAMIT so any help would be appreciated.

 

cheers

queen vic looks reasonable, cheap as hell, but as you say too close maybe

its really down to you and your attitude to noise/nightlife but soi 6 shouldn't

be too bad at night i guess.

Try Tropical Berts close to Soi 6 but nice quiet pub. Good rooms and Wifi

Queen Vic is close but remember you can always use the back door. Tropical Bert's is good but no in room safe and internet is weak at best on the higher floor.

Check out Sky-Top around the corner from soi 6 on 2nd Road. Clean, in room safe, AC,TV and fridge. Good value for the money. Price from 400 to 700 per night. www.skytopcenterpattaya.com

Sky-top is a good choice for me.

Cheap and close to soi6 (but not in soi6).

 

Internet point down and restaurant near (and 1 minute walking from soi6).

Walked by yesterday and the sign is still up saying open in October but no firm date. I'll be here until mid October and I'll give you an update. PM me if you don't hear anything from me by the 10th as my memory isnt what it use to be.

definitely try the queen vic. it is right in the middle, but the noise isnt really that bad at night.

The Queen Vic is RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ACTION OF SOI 6 . The ladies are VERY PERSISTENT and POSSESIVE so walking back to your Hotel will be an adventure. Chants of "handsome man" and "I go home with you", women grabbing you trying to get you in their bar and dissapointed "short-timers" ANGRY that you didn't pick them a second time. I like to "BUTTERFLY" and some Thai women don't like that. If you are a newbie to Thailand this street can be VERY OVERWHELMING . Because there are sooo many women and sooo many bars and sooo little time also be careful Soi 6 is full of katoeys . which is o.k if you are into that . But be calm an courteous when dealing with them remember...they were men at one time. I'm sure you will have a GREAT time...GOOD LUCK

Beware also that late at night the lady boys can become voracious.

 

Slim pickings during the day only serves to make them bold and as night falls they will wander further away from the confines of the Blue Hawaii and Hi! Boss pubs in their forage for prey.....they will soon figure out that you have your own place on the Soi and be keen on turning it into some kind of 'short time' room.

The noise from Soi 6 finishes around midnight, and it's after midday before the Soi comes alive again.

 

I have stopped at the Queen Vic on 3 trips already. I love the spot. But on my very first night there (June 06) there was a Karaoke set up on the street outside and I thought I had made a mistake booking a there, but shortly after midnight suddenly the Soi went quiet and I could sleep soundly

 

The ladyboys on Soi 6 try to ambush late at night, but if you have a companion for the night the will leave you alone.

 

I have a room booked at the QV for 4 weeks in Nov/Dec, and I think there are one or two other boardies stopping there as well

I have stayed in the queen vic, rooms are nice, the guy who owns it is really helpfull, always asks if everything is ok and is there anything he can do to help. its good that you can use the back door for a quiet exit, or go the front way and walk into madness

 

I call in each trip and see vic the owner, last time i visited he showed me the new rooms he has, nice rooms and at a nice price.

 

I would also take a look at Sabai Inn, and Sabai lodge on Soi 2, they are at the quiet end of the soi, but really handy on the baht bus route.

Sabai Inn and the Sabai Lodge are great places to stay. I never had a problem when staying there. I normally get a room back by the dolphin pool at the Sabai Lodge. You are right down the street from one of the malls and you have some pit bars at the end of the street that have a lot of pretty girls.
