Pattaya Travel Forum

Hi I'm going to Thailand next feb for a short and sweet break. Been to thailand quite a few times but never been to pattaya. Can anyone recommend a good hotel. Basically I'm after somewhere I don't have to walk to far to the nightlife. Not to worried about beach as will get beach fix on ko samet but a nice swimming pool would be good. I also need somewhere thats not noisy. Thinking around 2000 - 2500 baht a night.
Thanks

You can check out the Areca Lodge. Located on Soi Diana, easy walk to malls, bars, restaurants, etc.

Basic hotel rooms with air, hot water, cable TV, safety box and probably a pool start around 900 - 1000 baht. Without a pool air conditioned rooms with private toilet/shower start around 400 baht.

You will notice that hotels in Pattaya are quite a bit cheaper than Bangkok.

When you use a baht bus taxi only pay 10 baht for the set route.

thanks for advice

the Boutique hotel, backside VC hotel and 5 minutes walk to Walking street is a good choice. For 2500 bahts you have a marvelous deluxe room with jacuzzi in Tim Boutique hotel, or actually in the new LK Renaissance for 1500 bahts you have a large room, in front of Areca hotel in soi diana Inn, near second road and the new Shopping center Avenue is next door.

I have several places listed on my Pattaya page http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/1e4db/161f12/3/

Of the hotels reviewed, I like the Sandy Spring best when I want to stay near Walking Street. Good rooms, Internet, nice pool and near everything.
