Going in december. Should I book before I go?

[vulca]

Hey all.

 

Im going back to Pattaya on the 25th of December, and when I have been looking online it looks like alot of hotels are already fully booked. When I have been to Thailand before, I have usually just went to a hotel, without booking before I came. So far Im thinking about Lek hotel or Dynasty, and I checked the availability of Dynasty online, and it said it was fully booked. Is there stil a chance they may have room for me when I get there?

100% book before!

On previous years especially closer to NYE you can always see people walking around with there suitcases enquiring for a room!

Oh, I guess I better start looking then!

Anyone has an ok hotel to reccomend around soi 10? I stayed at Lek hotel this summer, and I like it since WS was not far away, and neither was Soi 6.

Ya one should always book before hand, no matter what time of the year.

 

With Thailand and Pattaya growing in popularity every year as an overall tourist destination, why leave anything to chance?

 

Certainly when it's during one of the busiest times of the year, the December holiday season.

 

If anything you could simply book for a few days, and when boots are on ground, go around inquiring about rooms at other places in person.

Okey, thanks guys. I guess I will try to find a decent hotel online, and book before I go.

I'm going in late January/early Feb and worried about the same thing. I won't have a credit card until around or after Christmas so can't book until I have it or can it be done without one?

From what I heard, because of the protests in BKK (which apparently translates to the whole country), many tourists are canceling or postponing their holidays.  So, you might get lucky.

 

Good luck!

The ongoing protests in BKK will probably only drive more tourists to Pattaya, making it harder to find an empty hotelroom!

I can recommend Nova Platinum. It has rooms available. My German friend Charly just booked for 25-29.

 

Naris Art hotel also.

 

Hunt around on Agoda and hotels combined.

 

Also try calling some direct.
