khounteen Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Where do local Thais stay when they come for holidays in Pattaya. Do they stay in farang owned budget hotels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) They live about everywhere depeding on their budget. Sure not that many in the centre of the redlights (Walking Street, Soi Buakhao etc.). Jomtien is a prefered place for Thai weekenders. Generally Thai families are not much up for Pattaya, but have other places on the east coast nearby. So I guess many of them only do daytime excursions and sleep at other places. "farang owned budget hotels" is a bit misleading. Nothing is farang owned, just mainly frequented by farangs. My favourite farang budget hotel is owned by a famliy of Chinese origin living on the premises. Edited August 12, 2014 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite farang budget hotel is owned by a famliy of Chinese origin living on the premises. Sorry, I meant farang run hotel. From the replies, I guess they avoid areas like Walking street and customers of farang run hotels mainly gets its customers from foreign tourists. That is why so many are suffering from the lack of tourists these few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceMangosteen Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 They fill up the various short time hotels, especially those located off third road. Or, as mentioned, the nice hotels. Like any third world country, you have the rich and the poor, not many in between... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
