No Room At The Inn?

[PUSSAHOLIC 0]

???Arriving in Pattaya for two days December 22nd. All of the hotels I have contacted say no rooms are available. What are my chances of finding a room as a walkup at this time?

Thanks, Pussaholic

There are tons of hotels in Pattaya. You might not find the best rooms though. Looking for a room just after checkout time is advantageous as travellers often change schedule. During peak season I found a decent room at Apex Hotel by just dropping by at 2Pm.

I will arrive around 1:30PM so hopefully my timing will be right. I know everything can't be booked solid. Most likely hotels are hoping for long term visitors, not short timers.

Thanks for your help. Pussaholic

I would think 1:30PM is also good time for room hunting. In my experiences even 10AM has worked for me---But have to wait for maid to clean room. Many times people reserve rooms for a longer period to be on safe side, but leave early. The hotel really can't tell until they checkout, so if you are there before someone else comes along you can snag the room for at least one day. Once you are in the room adding on days usually is possible unless someone reserved for your room number. Its difficult at night to find reasonable accomodation by just dropping in.
