If you're planning a trip to Pattaya, Thailand, you will ultimately have to determine where you will be spending your nights. You've many options.
First you will must determine what part of Pattaya you want to remain at. Essentially, your choices are North, South, and Central. Granted you are able to also remain on Soi Buakhao or nearer to Third Road, but it is still in 1 of the three areas.
Once you have figured out the region you need to invest your holiday at, you will have to select a hotel or guest home. Depending on your budget, you might desire to investigate some of the guest houses in Pattaya.
I have stayed at 5-star hotels, lesser starred locations, rooms above bars plus a couple of distinct guest houses. Although 5-star hotels are nice, I prefer the quaint, mom & pop run guest houses.
I prefer to remain in Central Pattaya but I don't should be close to the bay. I can be a block or two off the main drag and still enjoy myself. My personal preference is Soi LK Metro near Soi Diana Inn and Soi Buakhao.
This is an "L" shaped, small street, with about 15 guest houses on it. Most of them have a small bar downstairs and 4 to 20 rooms upstairs.
I prefer them because of the service. The location is good enough. But to actually know the owners, call them by name, have a beer or two with them, and get super service is what I am looking for on vacation.
My favorite over the past couple of years has been a small guest home called Place2Bee. It has all of 6 rooms and is run by a very friendly Brit and his Thai wife.
I found by accident. I was trying to book a room at a place on the same street but they were full up and the owner offered to find me a room. I eagerly took him up on his offer and he steered me to the Place2Bee. I hit it off with the owner, John, immediately.
We would chat over coffee in the morning along with a beer in the afternoon. He was full of stories and would always bring me up to speed on the latest news and gossip of Pattaya whenever I visited. I recommended his place to several friends.
However, John sold the Place2Bee, so I can no longer recommend it. I will still recommend the guest houses in the same area and will probably be on the lookout for another that compares with the Place2Bee.
So, you are able to see why I prefer the smaller, quaint, guest home over a hotel. The service is better, the owners friendlier, and there is a lot less hassle. Check 1 out on your next holiday in Pattaya.
