Hotel In Pattaya Needed For Musician Friends

[sabaijai]

A friend who is a record producer from the USA, along with his wife and some musicians from London, need a hotel for Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th. Something of high quality and either on or very near the beach. Their budget runs US$75-100/night per room.

Any recommendations? Sugar Hut? Amari Orchid? Marriott?

thanks

Hard Rock Hotel

Bit more if they are willing to pay the price...if willing save a few bob I'd obviously go to thai owned hotels.

They can afford it, and I thought of it immediately, but online reviews for the Hard Rock don't sing its praises much. Do you have personal experience with the Hard Rock?

They're leaning towards the Marriott, looks like it may be the one.

A mate of mine over on holiday went there the other night, just for dinner.

I decided I was 'busy' when he declared where he was planning to go, although he knew full well my take on the place so was hardly surprised.

I would rather stick needles in my eyes than step foot in there again.

Junk food priced at cordon bleu levels with some guy wailing 'Yellus Guy' as he crucifies a classic Lennon song is just not my thing.

Expecting a negative report from my mate the following day, I was surprised to hear him rave about the evening.

Apparently, the band announced some guest female singer that he thought was a wanna-be 'star' from the audience. He groaned, so he said, as they had just ordered.

According to him, the girl's performance was exceptional with the audience screaming for more.

That was then followed by another guest appearance.

It must have been his lucky night as the next performer was one of the Filipina girls who sings at the Huntsman in the basement of the Landmark in BKK.

Anyone who has heard her sing will know that she really is talented.

My mate and his temporary friend had a great time.

I had to ask…

A hamburger each and three maybe four alcoholic drinks for my mate, orange juice for her: bill: 1,900 Baht+

“Very reasonable” was his verdict.

Bloody tourists…

Stayed in there one nite - for the dosh it wasn't any better than the Welcome Plaza to be honest. Pool is awesome though.

[davethailand]

Nosey I know but are the musicians coming for a gig in Pattaya?

[sabaijai]

Dave, no gigs but there may be some jamming around town.

May I ask where

[Jim 50]

Marriott would be your best choice. Amari is out of the way, HR has been chastized already.

No swimming in at the "beach"

[Pattaya_Fox]

The Montien is a good hotel and is situated right next door to the Hardrock.

Good swimming pool, good food, great ambience and the staff are helpful and polite.

OK OK. One muso's first initial is M, another is N, the 3rd J and a 4th R. If there is jamming it will be at BF. That's all I can tell you, sorry.

The latest is that J arrives on Friday, M, R and N on Saturday. J will come by Friday, hopefully M & R on Saturday. N has already said he won't be playing, just watching. There's one more that may show on Friday and/or Saturday. His initial is F, aka 'S' (who just arrived in Thailand after recording drum tracks for Gwen Stefani in LA and for Tongue in London and Copenhagen). So it could be a real mess ...

[britmaveric]

Ahhh so "S" is keeping busy - not surprising! Sounds like its going to be a fun impromptu gig.

Have'nt a clue

Seriously, I've heard that apart from Joe coming on friday nobody showed on saturday, Joe cummings was judging something that did'nt finish till gone midnight and by midnight the club was too busy so I decided to donate my seat in the interest of the customers and go out myself. (not because I wanted to go and get pissed in a gogo!
