JohnJay Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Does anyone know what is the cheapest, nastiest hotel in Pattaya? For 200-400 baht per night? Aircon, pool, etc, not required. Cockroaches and stained sheets are tolerable at this price range. I've seen a couple of places with hostel type accommodation for back packers, sharing a big room with bunk beds. Can you actually get a room to yourself for this sort of money? I'm asking on behalf of my friend that has lived the Pattaya dream and now running low on a small loan from his family in Farangland !

I just met the guy last night on soi 6. From what I gather he came out for a few months, has badly overspent, and now rationing a loan from his sister til his flight home mid July. Living in a dormitory on soi buakhao and sharing with, in his words, smelly Indians. Something about Pattaya can make certain grown men act like kids. At least he's enjoyed himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reenatinnakor Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Loads of places for 400 off Teedin 3rd Road. Air con and seem nice enough on the outside. Not a dodgy sexpat area either. Mainly locals and long term residence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldbear Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 He might be better off getting a room for a month. It's less per day. There are lots in Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBird Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 He should be able to find a Thai apartment or room for about 2k to 4k a month. No floor no furniture shared bathroom. He'll have to look on the non touristy streets or ask a Thai person. Some of the bar girls and motorbike guys should know. Likewise a bar manager may know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he's in Pattaya and he doesn't need to stay inside all day. Plenty of old guys just nursing one drink in a barbeer and watching the world go by. In the old days when the promenade had seats he could have sat and watched the world go by for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
