OliverKlozerof Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Dog noise. I posted before looking for area with no/minimal dog noise. Inevitably someone says, 'Not possible in Thailand.' Wrong; it is possible. My room in BKK has no barking (took some searching but...). Six out of seven hotels I was just in in south Thailand last month had no (/minimal) barking. East end of Mae Phim Beach (east of Rayong), at beginning of Feb. this year, no barking (thanks to farang who paid local shelter owner to castrate all male dogs ???? ). So: Anyone know of area around Pattaya with no/minimal dogs/barking? Preferably not central. Na Klua? Jomtien? Hill in between (whatever it's called)? I came to Na Jomtien for sailing course Apr. 10 and now don't want to return to BKK. Will stay day by day until I know it's quiet, then by week/month. Otherwise: clean, decent, everything works, etc. Small kitchen best. Airbnb? Agoda...? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember visiting a friend in some condo block in the Arunothai area.... awful basic place. As we left a guy was entering a condo nearby with two large dogs on leads... dread to think of the living conditions in there. Are there many buildings allowing dogs?

Popular Post newnative Posted April 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2021 I've lived in 10 different condo projects all over Pattaya from south Jomtien to Wong Amat--with stops in Pratamnak, central Jomtien, south Pattaya, and north Pattaya. Except for one, they were all high-floor condos. Never had a problem with barking dogs--or barking neighbors, for that matter. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll drive over to that area today to check things out. Any specific properties you know of? I treated myself at I think New Years about 12 years ago and stayed in a nice hotel there. As I recall, the area seemed classier/more civil than most of Pattaya, which is what I'm looking for. And a variety of places to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverKlozerof Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 I've been staying in Na (south) Jomtien, as it was close to the sailing course I took. But one of the worst areas for dogs I've been in in quite a while. Probably anywhere would be an improvement over this. Room itself is very nice. Owner offered me a room that has bedroom with no external walls, so in there almost never hear the dogs. But step into main room and with a couple minutes you can hear the poor creatures. It's never the dog's fault, but the humans that make up this culture that thinks it's somehow kind to let malnourished, worm infested packs of dogs roam freely through the neighborhoods. In "developed" countries, dog catchers (/animal control officers), round them up, put them up for adoption...if no takers, eventually they are euthanized. To the tune of around 1800 per day in the US. Both cases are tragic. But I think the western approach is far more sensible. I realize it's a longer discussion than this; they say no money for 'animal control'/euthanasia here, for example.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a bit confused looking at google maps today.... I always thought 'Naklua' meant the area north of N Pattaya Rd. Actually, I think that's correct. But what confused me was, if you search for 'Na Kleua' on g'maps, it includes all of Pattaya plus Jomtien. But when I looked at the area north of N Pattaya Rd, I see "Pattaya-Naklua Rd," which I think is what most people are referring to when they say Naklua. Chai mai?

rcuthbert Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 The circle on Naklua Road is where I would start to look. Soi 27 is layed back. I would also do a Naklua search on Rent Hub, et al. One is a baht bus ride away from downtown Pattaya, and Wong Amat beach is a just short walk . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that the only rent day by day allowed legally are the ones having an hotel licence Even if you can find a lot of short term rent on aibnb, if the owner doesn't have a hotel licence the minimal duration of the rent should be 1 month 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
