Hotels In Pattaya, Thailand

Hotels In Pattaya, Thailand
By Lawrence Westfall

You have decided to visit Asia for your next vacation and have
decided to go to Pattaya, Thailand. Your flight is booked but
you are still looking for a hotel. But, how do you decide which
hotel to stay at?

Your decision should be based on what you plan to do while you
are Pattaya. Will you be spending most of your time sightseeing,
shopping or enjoying the nightlife? Most likely you will be
enjoying the nightlife and will want to be located in the heart
of it.

There are three main areas in Pattaya – North, South, and
Central and all three have their plusses and minuses. Getting a
hotel in any of the three will boil down to a personal
preference.

North Pattaya is in the Soi 2 area or even a little further
North called Naklua. Most of the tourists here are from Europe
and the nightlife is adequate but not spectacular. I rarely go
to the Naklua area but I do enjoy the Soi 2 nightlife area.

South Pattaya is very good and includes the area around the
infamous Walking Street. There are many hotels available from
Soi 13 to Walking Street and also along the side streets between
2nd Road and Walking Street. Many are small pubs with a handful
of rooms above the bar.

To me, Central Pattaya is where to stay. The location is
perfect as I can walk or catch a baht bus to anywhere in a
matter of minutes. Beach Road, 2nd Road or even down to Soi
Buakhao are perfect locations as long as the hotel is between
Central Road and Soi 13.

Most of the hotels in Pattaya are in the 2 – 4 star range with
the occasional 5 star (Marriott) but a 2 – 4 star in Pattaya is
definitely a cut above similar hotels in the states. I prefer
the smaller, pub places that have a handful of rooms upstairs.
Most are owned by a couple and really do their best to make your
stay a great one.

Do your research, and look for a discount Pattaya hotel, and
enjoy your stay in the Land of Smiles. It won’t be hard to find
your Asian hotel in Pattaya at all.
