NanLaew Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I have some work in Laem Chabang coming up early next week and will be stopping in Pattaya for a few nights. I stayed at a fairly nice but cheap hotel off Third a few months ago and the only thing that spoiled the stay was the noisy Chinese. What's the current scene like regarding bus loads of Chinese in town? Is it getting quieter this month? FWIW, plenty cheap rooms available on the usual hotel aggregator websites so hopefully that means less noise too. Thanks! NL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Golden Week for China was last week, so there should be less around now. I recommend Sunshine Garden Resort on Dolphin Roundabout. Any Chinese will be independant travellers. About 1000 Baht per night. You can head up Naklua Rd, turn right at traffic lights onto Soi Potisan, then left onto Sukhumvit for Laem Chabang.

Roger Lee Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I was on Beach Road in Pattaya at about 7:30 am or shortly before 8 am yesterday (Thursday). There were throngs of Chinese tourists, probably several hundred if not a thousand or so there disembarking from their tourist busses along most of Beach Road and were apparently headed for Koh Larn. I have no idea how many more were there during the morning as I left shorly after getting some breakfast. The only issue I had was trying to walk down a sidewalk which was blocked by unaware or uncaring people from a bus load of Chinese tourists. Luckily a Thai street hawker stepped in and asked them to move in Chinese (I assume it was Chinese as it wan't the Thai language). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily a Thai street hawker stepped in and asked them to move in Chinese (I assume it was Chinese as it wan't the Thai language). The thing about the Chinese at the hotel I mentioned earlier is that they funked up the dining hall, poolside and lobby with their stinky Chinese cigarettes early in the morning before buggering off on the buses and then did the same in the evening when they came back. They also like to shout at +108 dB through clenched teeth to each other and explosively evacuate their nasal cavities and expectorate loudly and frequently... the driveway would look like it had been visited by a flock of seagulls after breakfast and dinner. The cigarette smell was all through the halls and corridors as well. I worked for 8 years in mainland China and their tobacco is foul. The buses themselves were an irritation since they (about a dozen of them) totally filled the parking lot and would start their engines early to get the air-conditioning cool while their passengers nosebagged so the early additional 'Chinese support' noise was considerable, even up on the 5th floor. During the day, the place was a haven of silent bliss. Anyway, I've picked a place over in Naklua for a change, asked for a high floor and hope it is quiet(er).

jacko45k Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Chinese tour groups are a 52 weeks a year thing, with a few peak seasons too. Chinese NY and recent Golden week come to mind. Enjoy the ride up and down Sukhumvit... I used to do that one. Lunch at Harbor Mall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumply Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Don't be a cheapskate when choosing an hotel. Go slightly upmarket to avoid the hoards, 1500B pn should do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you .I wish you luck in Naklua but that location is not immune from the Chinese and the tour bus problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyngai Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 One way to avoid nasty Chinese tour groups is to stay away from areas where tour bus parking is easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add that anywhere with high floors is likely big enough to take coachloads of tour groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soistalker Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 They tend to come on the super cheap tours. Stay somewhere and spend $50:night on a room. That should keep the savages away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare these hordes invade my favourite seaside resort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denby45 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I worked out why the Chinese are so loud. They have a different way to communicate than us. You will notice that during a conversation you speak then the other person speaks and you listen. You watch the Chinese, when they converse they both speak at the same time and when a group of them are together they are all speaking at the same time and I guess the loudest one gets the most attention. Hence the increased in Db. Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it so difficult to pick one's nose in the restroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
