globalspark Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Are there any hotels left that also cater for westerners . The old days like the Diana Inn and many more would have these nice breakfasts and bars where you could have a drink after a game of golf or whatever. These days it seems the quest is for Chinese and Indian tourists and it becomes a little boring for us westerners to enjoy our day with a good English Breakfast. Some hotels make a small effort and have a egg station but that is where it ends. On a recent trip I stayed at the mantra Pura in North pattaya and that was very nice for the price but the Tv was all snowy and no effort was made to fix it despite many requests. The farang who comes here for 4 weeks goes down and has breakfast swim and have drinks by the pool with other travellers and watch movies are things of the past judging by the hotels I am staying in. Now i am talking about 3-4 Star hotels and I guess if i stayed at the Hilton, Holiday Inn and etc i would get exactly what I am looking for. I can see where these hotels are coming from as most tourist are staying 1-3 days on some tour and that is there bread and butter. I just feel the old market has been neglected.

jacko45k Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) I stayed at the Thai Garden Resort this weekend. It was pretty much all western tourists, unlike last time (for the Fireworks) when a coach or two of Chinese tours stayed over. Have to face facts though, does a hotel remain at low percentages for most of the year due to the fall in Western tourists, or accept that booking of a few hundred from India or China? Your best bet might be the 5 Stars, Dusit, Hilton etc. Amari when it is up to speed. Edited December 1, 2019 by jacko45k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
