Newbie to Pattaya

[Uncle Tom 0]

Hi guys,

 

I'm no stranger to Thailand, having spent the winters here for the last decade, but in January I'll be making my first ever trip to Pattaya.

 

I'm looking for a clean friendly guest house that's in easy walking distance of the nightlife, where I can take the GF (a former BG who has an occasional liking for other girls..) and proper double beds that are big enough for three (not two singles pushed together)

 

Aircon, a room safe and good general security are a must, pools & restaurants are not important.

 

- suggestions?

Much depends upon your budget for the room, i have had similar likes to yours in the past, and i still like the Residense Garden, its about a 10 minute walk from WS, i dont mind the walk as for me its not far

"Much depends upon your budget for the room"

 

Hopefully not much more than 1,000thb per night, but could make an exception if it's worth it..

Where exactly is Billabong? Unless I missed it, there's no link to a map or street address..

Suggest that you list all the places in Soi LK and then narrow them down to who has got what you want, at a price that you want to pay and has a vacancy. Its that simple.

LK Metro, on the inner corner.

It isn't too big a Rd.

There are plenty of decent place around the soi lk area.

 

If you want to a pool try the Sabai Lodge on soi 2 email them for a rate

Haven't tried it myself but got good reports about the Butchers Arms in Soi Buakow at 850 baht a night for their best rooms. close to Lk metro. I have booked for February and will give feedback on my return.

Hi there Mick. Just a suggestion. Drop into the Sabai Inn and look at the rooms there. High season 1215 B and low season 999 B baht for a superior room ( there are standard at lower) and I find this a better deal that the Lodge or Resort in Hight Season. Dont forget that you have full access to the pools across the road for this price.
