Are there any hotels that allow me and a guest to enter without having to do the "walk of shame" through the lobby?

[matrix123]

Marriott, but soon it will become Avani.

 

Use the entrance at the beach road. If you stay in the terrace suite or a room in that building, you don't need to walk through the lobby. If you stay in a room in the main building, you could use the stairs or walk to second floor to take the elevator to avoid the lobby.

You might be right, but I like to keep things as private as possible, especially with parents and their children around.  I couldn't bring myself to escorting a girl through a lobby with parents and their children around.  It would kill me.

I get you elche  If  you are not too concerned about high end hotels then may be your best option is to go to the cheaper options such as Queen Vic on Soi 6. There are many choices like this in central pattaya. If you prefer the high end then i think you will struggle as part of their service is to protect your interests.

What do you care what random family tourists you don't know and will never see again think of you?  

 

Maybe don't think of it as a 'walk of shame', for all they know (and don't care) you and your friend are just another couple?

Just don't paw at her in public and make sure she's wearing more than skimpy lingerie and no one should look twice in Pattaya.

 

How about staying at a guest house or condo where there isn't a 'lobby' as such?

Do you have children or have you raised a family?

[docbunsen]

i agree with osofedup i stopped staying in the more plush places for this reason . basic clean accommodation for me now ,i just felt wrong being there around familes whether pattaya is for mongers or not 

[Sick Water Buffalo]

Do you have children or have you raised a family?

 

 

No I have not.

 

But I don't understand, so you are assuming that if a child sees a man and a woman walking together through a hotel lobby, they...

1) Will immediately jump to the conclusion that the gentleman and lady are going to engage/have engaged in mutually beneficial sexual intercourse.

2) This thought (which a child is already very unlikely to be considering since they are a child) is going to scar their poor little psyches.

 

I think you may be projecting some own internal 'shame' about partaking in the delights of Pattaya onto others; or still have some sort of 'hangup' about what you're doing?

Children on holiday in Pattaya are thinking about playing in the hotel pool, or going to their room and watching cartoons, or wondering where mom and dad are taking them next; not looking at you and your lady friend strolling through the hotel lobby and thinking  "ewww those two are going upstairs to do it!" 

 

Again, I'm honestly unsure why you are worried about children seeing two adults walking together through a 'public' place.

Yeah, the parents are going to know what's up (if they even notice and if they even care to judge), but again, who cares what they think?

 

Maybe your best course of action is to only see ladies in short-time establishments or take them to short-time hotels.  

[elche]

^ Were getting off topic here.  The issue is not what I think about sex in Thailand.  My question comes out of a concern toward families.  But I see you have it all figured out for the parents and their children.  And the hotels too.  After all, some of them are not guest friendly.   But who cares?  Right?  If you were a parent, you would understand.  But carry on as is.  Ignorance is bliss, as the saying goes.

 

Now let's return to my OP.

[KanoMike]

 I agree. According to the OP, I should be ashamed to walk into a hotel with my legitimate girlfriend who is 23 years younger than me. I don't care what anybody thinks.

When did Pattaya become a family friendly destination, i mean yeah ive seen the occasional kid, usually in tow with thai mum and farang dad on DAYTIME outings or russian kids scattered around jomtien, however in all honesty i have never once seen a kid hanging out either alone or with parents in hotel lobbies after dark (the time the average punter is likely to be bringing a barfine back) there are eyes on you and you are being judged from the moment you leave the bar, baht bus drivers moto taxi guys girls in other bars, do you really care what any of them think? as for the hotel staff, the only thing they care about, perhaps unfortunate for you in this circumstance, is you and your safety, the whole reason you pass through the lobby to get to your room and have the girl leave her ID with the desk so that if you happened to pick a bad one that might want to do something nasty, like steal your money or electronics etc, if this is considered shameful then i am happy to be shamed, id rather be shamed than robbed, id also rather strike up a good repore with the front desk rather than have them think im trying to hide something from them every time i enter and exit the building

[Saoire Spraoi]

Having never been to Pattaya I don't know any of the hotels but from what I have read on here so far I am getting the impression that there are hotels that seem to "specialise" for the tourist who will be bringing hot young girls back to their room on a regular basis.

 

I'd imagine the only looks a guy would get in such hotels is to see his choice of lady got the night. If everyone is going the same it becomes the norm.

Here is a similar topic I posted a few days ago, maybe this topic was inspired from that http://www.pattaya-addicts.com/forum/topic/301112-walking-the-hall-of-fameshame/

 

Are there any hotels that allow me and a guest to enter without having to do the "walk of shame" through the lobby?

Would like to know too, or even better, are there any condos where you can avoid the walk of fame and also not looking like a burglar if you are being seen?

VT6 doesn't really have a lobby. Just a hallway with a desk where a security guard sits in front of the elevator. There's other things that go on there in the hallway too- massage shops, cleaners, small convenient stores but most of those people are going about their business and not paying attention to anyone else. There's no one really hanging around in the hallway. Not like in a hotel where you have bellmen, receptionists, cleaning people, etc. I never felt like I was in a hotel lobby there. A very different experience than a hotel and not near as shameful.

shame shame shame, i respect the thread and all, but the use of the word shame, really? if you guys think bringing a lady through a hotel lobby is something to feel shameful of i just dont know how you even convinced yourselves to go to Thailand in the first place, perhaps if you were pope john paul i could understand it being a shameful act, your not public figures, two week millionaires or wanna be rock stars perhaps, but really its not like the papparazzi are scouring south east asia waiting to capture a candid shot of you with your barfine, if you are honest to god that paranoid about being seen with a barfine there are boat rentals available but then the captain might give you a disapproving look when you board the vessel and put you back in the "shame" zone.......

[momo5]

Concern for parents, children, families - absolute bullshit.

 

I've nearly always stayed at Marriott and have never ever felt shameful or uncomfortable with my ladyfiend. The girls dress well enough; would say my barfines don't look like the typical hooker in NYC. I've spent the day at the pool with my barfine (a couple of regulars will bring their children) and have chatted up some fellow travelers, including family types. Never seen a problem whatsoever. Then again, I think it comes down to one's attitude, rapport and treatment of others. Same exoerience with my stays in Bangkok as well.

 

OP needs to work out his issues

Better yet ... hit the short time rooms in clandestine fashion.

How can I tell that you're another one who has not raised a family?  Boors always have it all figured out for others, in this case, parents and hotels.  Maybe you need to make your rounds to the non-guest friendly hotels to straighten them out, let them know how they should run their business.  After all, you've never seen a problem and therefore it must be ok.

Kind of a silly point seeing as your talking about taking a barfine into a guest friendly hotel

[osofedup]

That's the problem with forums elche. You have made your feelings crystal clear and I respect that. You are then inundated with BMs who tell you not to feel that way and  you should feel how they feel??  You asked a relevant question and in some cases have received an equally relevant reply, unfortunately not too many. My advice is ignore the naysayers and do what you feel is best for you….truth is most of them have most likely never even been here

[Timetester]

Stayed in several hotels around Pattaya and never had an eyebrow raised when walking to or throw with a bar fine.

 

But if you truly do not want to constantly walk past other hotel patrons or hotel staff then you can rent a condo or choose to stay in a guesthouse. Although guesthouse a come with their own problems, mostly being no lift.

True.  It's particularly interesting how they hijack OPs and turn it into a personal matter.  Why can't people leave a thread well enough alone, if they don't want to address the OP?  What they need to do is to start their own post of their own concern.  Or, in this case, join the thread that discusses the issue of shame, which is still active.

Again, the issue is not whether it's a barfine or a guest friendly hotel.  Please read the OP.

Your OP has been addressed multiple times and with respect, your thread is not being hijacked or fucked, its not everyone elses fault you do not agree with reasonable points

I have read the OP several times as i have replies since the OP, seems you have the notion you are better than other board members because you have spawned some children, if you feel that ashamed of what you are doing perhaps your time would be better spent with your family...... shame on you for acting on human impulses
