Newbie Advice - Finding Somewhere To Stay...

[properperson]

If you are a newbie and are looking for somewhere to stay that ticks all the right boxes, may i suggest:

The Pig and Whistle, in Soi 7

Right in the middle of the action and only a few mins walk to Walking Steeet.

Nice, modern, spacious, clean en suite rooms with aircon, fridge, English TV (Sky News etc), from 700b a night

Discreet rear entrance and no supliments for bringing anyone back to your room ;0)- They know the score !

AND the best British tucker you've ever tasted - they say in their advertising blerb "food like yer Mam used to make", and they ain't wrong.

Their Full English breakfast will put most to shame and Sunday lunch is to die for.

They have their own butchery department making sausages, pies, burgers, cure bacon/gamon, hang steaks, home made gravy etc.

A real "Diamond in the rough"

Do you know what "Diamond in the rough" means? Not much of a compliment for a place that you're trying to compliment. Maybe the place has a long ways to go to be decent and you really meant it?

[siggie2]

some free adveritsement there,is the place empty

[thrilled]

I've ate there but stayed at the queen victoria on soi 6.

[nariad]

The food is mediocre and expensive by LOS standards.

I am sure there is. The place must be dead. Prefer the Queen Vic myself

ROFL.... this probably sums up the average Pattaya punter. Or am I profiling again?

I think it means they are (new) advertisers, but for sure this sort of advertising can backfire, like here!

Hows the Car Parking, Swimming Pool and Gymnasium at the P&W?? can you tick these boxes?

Here's some newbie advice for you... when promoting a location add a location map to your website to people can find the location.

217/34 M 10 Pattaya City - helps no one.

I noticed that but believe the OP is just being over overenthusiastic.

Def a business interest and not enthusiastic. Hard to be enthusiastic about rooms that have a very very tired, saggy bed. Ceiling air conditioning that leaks water (very annoying if you get a room with the bed under the air con) and dont even think about sleeping in the first floor rooms unless you want to get woken up by the noisy kitchen and even nosier staff at silly o clock in the morning!

I'm not too sure about the "few minutes walk to walking street" either. Depends on your personal definition of 'few' I would think!!

[NALAK]

if pig and whistle is food like my mum made my dad would have divorced years ago. all 5 of us agreed food was bland.

[gharknes]

its not bad food - just way over priced, nothing in patters should cost more than at home, it should be roughly half the price. Greedy falangs
