pumpuiman Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hello all, I'm currently visiting the family in Isaan and am planning a three day trip to Pattaya. I'll be arriving on the 12th of Feb. and meeting my brother there (his first visit to Thailand) and he will be staying at the Dusit D2 hotel. I don't care for the expense and all the bells and whistles of such a place and was hoping some of you local folks might suggest a more moderately priced accomodation that is within walking distance to the "D2". I would like to be centrally located if possible, but not right in the middle of walking street. A hotel that doesn't mind (or charge for)"guests" would be preffered. I've never been to Pattaya, so please excuse my ignorance. I'm completely unfamiliar with the layout and am doing some research...but hoped some of you kind ladies and gentleman might give me a hand. I appreciate your time, and thank you in advance for any info. I'll be happy to buy a few beers when I'm in town. Thanks again, Eric (pumpuiman) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Maybe look at the Sabai Wing in Soi 1. Not exactly central but walking distance to D2, or, Welcome Plaza more central but quite a trek (walking) to D2, but on a direct baht bus route. Obviously loads more but you rally need to look at a map to get an idea, quite a good one here in post number 3. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/63331-map-of-eastern-thailand/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabC Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Areca Lodge, behind the Avenue mall so centrally located. I have not stayed there myself but have a friend who is a repeated visitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigt3365 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm in a bit of a hurry now, but there's a decent hotel on the North side of Central Festival that's pretty good. Go in person and the manager will match any deals you get via various internet sites. I think I paid 1000B or so 2 years ago. Clean, quiet, nice pool and centrally located.

Certainly not walking distance. Areca has a wing behind the Avenue, so that is within walking distance. As is the Pattaya Bay Resort Go for the Pattaya Bay Resort, as it's closer to D2. Probably within 100 metres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion...by the way..loking at the pinned thread on Pattaya hotels, I noticed the Areca listed as under construction...anyone know if that is up to date info? I'd rather not have jackhammers provoking my hangover.... I will do some looking into the Pattaya Bay Resort...thanks again. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumpuiman Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thanks for the prompt reply, thats good news. Just clicked the penthouse hotel banner as suggested in another post.....kinda scary, afraid the sheets might be a little sticky at that joint, I prefer guest friendly....but not that friendly. Any other suggestions would be greaty appreciated. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evermaat Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) ......... Any other suggestions would be greaty appreciated. Eric http://www.thaivisa....use-in-pattaya/ I can vouch for Arcadia mansion. Adjacent to the central on 2nd road. Not sure about high season, but 600 baht when I went, and rooms were very clean. TV, hot water, 1.2 meter tall fridge, soft bed, safe in the closet, balcony facing the mall, internet wifi, elevator. They don't bother you as long as you pay the rent.

pumpuiman Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks to all for your assistance, I've booked a room at the Areca. A tip to anyone interested...I called the Areca directly and they informed me that they had no deluxe rooms available. I was able to book a deluxe room through ASIAROOMS dot com at a better price than at the Areca's website, and checked for conformation...all is well. Thanks again, let me know if I can offer a beverage to those that helped me out!!! ERIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
