Walk in prices

[baklazan]

Hi, I´m going to Pattaya in August, so probably lowest season. Does it make sense to book a room via Internet, or try walk in? Are prices better or worse than those official on hotels websites?

Never book hotel on hotel website its usually 30%-50% more expensive.

I always call them usually they give the best prices do some research

on hotel prices before you call them to get the best deals.so when you

talking to them you will know if they are trying to scam you.

I did quite a few walk in like Sabai wing ,Sabai empress,Lk metro

always got good deals.It depends on hotel if they are willing

to negotiate.

Book a couple of nights then hunt around when you get there.

I was there last July. Lots of hotels with banners hanging out front offering good deals on rooms.

The more popular guest houses may be full, but I got the impression the hotels were desperate for customers.

From what i heard from a few frds who have been out there

is you can turn up on the door and ask for a room

but be clever and ask around and tell the manger or who ever is at the desk that so and so is offer this what can you offer me

i have gotten some realy good deals on LK hotels by doing walk-in's.. they are 99% of the time willing to negotiate...

Do at least this. Unless you want to walk there with your heavy luggage.
