Hi, I'm curious how the hotel situation is today in Pattaya... If I get there tonight, will I have to sleep on the beach for the weekend??

We are seeing a lot of flood refugees arriving from Bangkok. If you need a place to stay you'd be as well to book somewhere before you get here.

There are still plenty of rooms available...don't forget, lots of foreign visitors have cancelled reservations so that has balanced out the Bangkok refugee influx.

Hotel rooms are rapidly being occupied, follow this link for confirmation, http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/508230-bangkok-is-in-panic-mood/

A quick search online (Agoda, Tripadvisor, Booking.com, etc) will prove that there are limited hotel rooms available now, and these tend to be at the more expensive end of the market.

As already suggested by Spalpeen, you'ld be well advised to book something in advance!

As for sleeping on the beach in Pattaya...........unless you want to loose all your personal belongings in one fail swoop, don't go there!!!
