500b rooms

[bodfish 2]

Hi all, left booking my room a little late and all is full. Shall be arriving this sunday.

 

I normally stay in a little guest house on soi 12 next to the apex.

 

Like the location, anyone got any short notice ideas in the 500B range. Not after too much as long as there is air con, fridge and in room safe ect and freedom to come and go as pleased.

 

know i could do a search but running out of time

 

Not bothered which area.

 

Maybe around soi Diana or soi LK

 

posting here to maximise viewing

 

Thanks in advance

on that same soi next to the apex there is a guest house called the doblar house, its about 20 yards down on the left, good clean rooms at the price you are asking, guaranteed to have vacancies at this time of the year, the only down side is no in room safe, but there are safe boxes on the ground level. and the girl thats runs it is always there so no chance of losing your belongings.

Don't worry too much. I've also stayed on Soi 12 many times and loved the lack of through traffic and location except when it flooded during rains, but when I use to visit here on holiday, most of the times whether high season or low season, I didn't have a room reservation.

 

There are dozens of guesthouses on:

 

+ Soi Buakow

+ LK Metro

+ sois between 2nd Road/Soi Buakow

+ sois between Soi Buakow/3rd Road

 

If you want one between Beach and 2nd Road, then Soi 6 has many rooms too (not just the ST rooms :) in that price range with Air Cond, some with in-room safes, etc... but no swimming pool (use Mike's Shopping Mall pool) or gym :)

 

Since most of these 'do not' have a website (can be expected for the 500 baht price range as most of the guesthouses only have a dozen rooms or less) you'll have to go door-to-door with your luggage in tow and just ask to see a room before moving in. You should also be able to get a discount for every 5-7 days you stay. It's sort of nice to stay in different areas to learn more in-depth about the different parts of Pattaya.

 

If I were you, I'd first 'walk-in' to the place you originally wanted to stay and see if they have a room (i.e. cancellation or no-show).

 

Ok, 'mai pen rai' as so many options available especially this time of year.

 

Take care.
