Choose your hotel

good article - thanks jojomecanic. It assumes that no one is on the same budget but highlights the action /less action areas in the map to a tee.

I am now thinking for my 10day stay book hotel (following your advice / steps ) for first three days and then look to move on if not happy or want a change.

Thinking ot the Tim Boutique for start of trip as had good reviews and is girl friendly

[eric lau]

Yes, good advice. Thread modified !

Thanks for your encouragements, guys... for a few hours I thought this thread was just going to sink

 

guest friendly or joiner fee is also important thing

If you want to help customers why is there no location map on your website for Canterbury tales?

Newbie = from soi7 to Walking Street, between beach road and second road (green area). That's all. Easy.

I´m considering Queen Victoria because it´s in the Soi 6 area. And since this will be my second trip and I´m still a newbie, I was just wondering why Soi 6 isn´t recommended for a newbie?

When I said Newbie, I meant somebody that never came to Pattaya before.

Most often, these guys don't know what to expect about this P4P scene. After a first trip (and even a just few days), you already know if you like gogos overall, or prefer the beerbars ambiance, or Soi6..

 

That's why I recommend to stay in a central place for 3 or 4 days maximum (Soi7 to WS, BR to second road), and then decide to move or stay.

 

Just imagine a guy booking 3 week (and as a newbie paying upfront) in Soi6 and realise once there that he only likes Walking Street... (same for reverse situation).
