Tims Hotel is the new building up that soi behind the Go Go and has a beautiful roof top pool. I went there 6 Months ago when the bars were suppose to be shut, the Go Go guys from Tims took us up and there was a party happening. It wasn't finished at the time but it looked well appointed. I think the prices were around that 1,000 baht a night. For breakie you can go across the road to the Lek for the all you can eat buffet at 110 baht a person. You could even stay there, they also have a new wing and the rooms are around that 1,100 baht a night figure. In March it shouldn't be busy.
January 7, 200719 yr Welcome Plaza Hotelhttp://www.welcome.co.th/wplaza.htm What's the finders fee there Brit ? Naka. Yeah Brit, you mention that one so often, are you a finders fee or is it really that good? I've seen you post it that many times I feel like staying there just to check it out. Cheers old mate.
January 7, 200719 yr Sunbeam/Sunshine are quite alright too. However I'm rather fond of Welcome Plaza and the staff!!! I wish I received a finders fee though.

January 10, 200719 yr Author Thanks to everyone who posted here, Hotel all sorted, just need some recommedations for getting to Pattaya from BKK now, anyone got any ? We ended up using the airport Limo service last time, but the driver was a bit on the surly quiet side, and didnt really like the stop I asked for (I think he was on a schedule or something)only wanted a pee and a coffee Dont really want to use a bus or the mini bus that cruise around the airport (I swear the driver was p***ed a year ago) or a taxi So any recommendations out there ?
January 10, 200719 yr Email the hotel you have booked into and arrange for them to pick you up. If it was me, I'd hop into an airport taxi.
January 10, 200719 yr Oriental Escape - used them for transfer last few times and they are quite good.
January 10, 200719 yr I haven't used Mr. Toom, but I know quite a few people who recommend him rather highly. PM if you want his email/contact info.

January 11, 200719 yr Helicopter service still lands I believe on the roof of the Palm Villa. T`was a lovely oasis.....before they pulled it down
January 11, 200719 yr The Welcome Plaza is good... and their sister property, next door, I think called the "Golden Palace", is similar... a one minute walk to the Royal Garden... location can't be beat.
