Places to stay for max 2 weeks on Jomtien Beach rd.

[bradiston]

I've got a close relative coming for 2 weeks in January 2025. Any tips on safe secure apartments or hotels? Budget not too big an issue.

Jomtien beach is very long. I prefer the northern end towards Dongtan beach and the water park, as the beach further south feels pretty isolated, though many might disagree. I’ve stayed at the 4 star ‘Jomtien Palm Beach’ hotel, which has a great pool. Avalon Beach and Welcome World resorts look good, though I’ve not stayed in them. View Talay 5 and 7 are apartment blocks near the beach, avoiding having to cross busy Thappraya road. There’s a large amount of road construction at the moment, just south of the above places. Jan 2025 is of course peak high season, so some places could be booked out.

View Talay 5 and 7 are residential  condos , not supposed to do 2 week rentals.

I actually live in VT5 for my less than 180 days in Thailand each year (though I certainly don’t rent the place out while I’m not there, way too much hassle, and I don’t need the money). Short term rentals don’t bother me at all, and some of the younger Russian ladies provide a bit of colour to the swimming pool area in high season!). I rented VT5 short term before buying there, and I’m pretty sure that there was no change in my behaviour as I changed from a despised, delinquent Airbnb renter to an exalted owner.

My point went right over your head.

Have a nice day.
