Your logic, thinking style and mannerisms gives me great trust and confidence in you and what you say. I can think of no greater compliment from me. Thx for all your efforts.

We have been watching your videos for a few months, thoroughly enjoy them as you are both so likeable!

adding some info about AVANI and Barracuda. AVANI is not "guest friendly" meaning if you "meet" someone cute and want to bring her to your room for a 'friendly conversation,' Avani staff will stop you, and charge you a GUEST fee. Barracuda is guest-friendly, they will not bother you.

As always, good video. Congrats on breaking the 50K subscribers. Take Care from Texas

Wow ! excellent 3 part video series with a heck of a lot of information to digest. We normally stay 1 week at a Hotel in Bangkok and Pattaya but seeing your Hotel tour I think next trip I will spread it out over 3 or 4 Hotels a couple of nights in each. We usually stay in the D Varee Jomtien Beach, nice and quiet there at night. Thanks Lucas excellent video as usual and I can't wait to see your next show.

The series has been very good, thanks for the info and top viewing

Well done again Lucas. This has been a great series especially with so many people planning a trip in the near future. Fantastic to see how, with a bit of shopping, one can find a real bargain, even with the higher end rooms.

Thank you for your great efforts for your helpful coverage and videos .. God Bless You 🌹💯

Great info once again Lucas. Thx for the effort. Very helpful. I’ll be there as soon as the virus 🦠 madness ends.

Stayed there on my recent visit under the test and go Sha scheme the staff were great and the room also returned home 2 weeks ago , plus the arrangement under the Sha scheme with pick up at the airport was done smoothly Would highly recommend, lovely breakfast also

Stayed at Blackwoods 2 weeks ago. we were only ones during the week but busy on weekend. Great place.

I miss that little lunch spot on the corner at the start, their food was always good and it was great value too.

Hi loucous and Vee thank you for the tips I'm sure it's going to help people pick the hotel that suits them.

Hi Lucus & Vee enjoyed this series of videos. At the top end, it is still cheap as chips in comparison to the west and the price is for two people you can't go wrong. Look forward to seeing your video on the room you have chosen to stay in. Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M

love your smooth voice. You should have been a radio jockey.😊

I was there in 2016 and 17 ,,🤔🇹🇭And that corner was all just little beer bars , had some good nights there too, Thanks for the upgrade lol 😂👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Have a great day 🙏🤟🇹🇭🍺🇦🇺🇺🇸

Great vid. Keep them coming!

Awesome information - thanks

I spent one night in Blackwood in May. Nick from another YT channel had made a video of the hotel. I do not recommend the hotel. The room was OK, a little weird in a good way but the biggest problem was the soundproofing. While the hotel was perhaps 5% of capacity, I heard everything being discussed in one of the rooms next door. The best part of the hotel is the location as well as the garage lift. But: Blackwood - never again.

Good choice! Looking forward to the next video on what it was like. Of all the ones you showed I have only been to the Buffet at MYTT I know things have changed and most places won't be a 100% until the crowds show up but... The seafood buffet every Friday and Saturday was AMAZING. Lobster, Crab, Oysters, and always some unique surprise item like Wagyu Beef or filet Mignon. etc👍

Great series of videos, thank you. Arriving November 4th....hopefully.

Thanks for all your hard work helps us a lot I like what you said about the pie the smaller the air fare the smaller the hotel the more fun with the bigger peace of the pie 5555

Good day new friend from Philippines..beautiful places.

Normally stay Avani or Barracuda but last time tried the Holiday inn, great breakfast and the restaurant overlooks the pool with a view over the ocean, highly recommend it.

Really can't determine which would have been a better choice as they all have similar locations and amenities. So I guess price would have been the final factor and - like you said - a good deal was difficult to pass up. Look forward to your vlog on the Blackwoods, Loucous. Hopefully, Sois 7 and 8 return to their former glory soon.

Great review! Many thanks.

Good choice .. good location

Another great video Well done

Very nice hotels Lucas, but unfortunately OVER my budget ... I prefer to stick with the 1000 Baht per night plan 😅😅😅

Siam Bayshore , Dusit Thani. Defiantly, one of the two property look the best, Price is comparable to all of them but I like the grounds. Looks very comfortable. Thanks Lucas, this is a lot of work on your part. Looking forward to you next review. Just a note: See if you can get some NAC pills ,good for colds and other virus you might get.

Good series. I stayed at the holiday inn over 100 times. For business so would go with certain hotel groups that had the best loyalty program. Usually access to club room, free breakfast, snacks, drinks, evening small buffet, unlimited espresso. Also access to boardroom and area for business meetings. Different criteria but things like early check in and late check out plis free upgrades to rooms. Different way of doing hotels but would be good to see you do a series in this segment

Much enjoy watching! From Cambodia

Great reviews as always. Think the last one was my favorite. Thanks for sharing.😎

Thanks for the fabulous content as always! Blackwoods definitely offered you the best deal and I can't wait to see your next video sharing your experience there. I stayed at Dusit Thani less than two years ago for two weeks. The best hotel experience ever, very highly recommended.

Stayed at Siam Bayshore 3 times , everytime 14 days. Very happy with that one. Just maybe slight dated roomdesigns.

Thanks Lucas looks a good hotel.

pretty nice i like it

16:45 I thought you were gonna say the lady hit you up for a 500 Baht joiner fee! Luckily it was a discount instead.

"Eloquent Piano Lounge", gotta love this guy!

I fancy a stay at all of them but Black Woods will probably be my next one 👍🇹🇭🍺

Thanks Loucous , Great series on the hotels , many different options with a few new players.

All nice hotels, enjoyed the vid. Although I'm not seeing the relevance of the SHA+ accreditation at this time, only because, apart from Blackwoods, none of them are offering the 1 night quarantine package.

Very enjoyable video can't wait to watch next one.

The Blackwood would be my choice as well. Would love to hear your report. Cheers

Cant wait to see the room!

Thanks again Lucas so many hotels I didn’t realise. The Blackwoods on 7 I think just recently opened. Look forward to your next video

Pattaya had its time but now time to move on!

Centara Grand Phratamnak you should go see . they have something amazing in the lobby .

I have to agree with you on that choice. Something I've kinda noticed with Thailand is if there is a new opening on a hotel they usually run some great deals. I was able to book the Racha 5 star hotel on a private island for 7 nights at under 50 usd for private villa right on the beach with 2 nights free. So only 250 usd for the 7 nights. That was many years ago now you can't even get 1 night for that price. I was also able to book Millennium in Bangkok when it first opened for under 60 usd for an executive suite. Not sure what that would cost today but I'm guessing a pretty penny. You need to catch these hotels when they first open up.

Really liking this idea you had lucas see what's available thank you.

Hi mate. Just a personal factor. If Im going to stay for a week I like my room to have a microwave. Hard to find. You might like to do an episode that covers rooms with a microwave. A challenge for you 😊. I try to keep my rooms below Bt 1200. Cheers. Fred.

Great video!!

A favorite of mine is the One Patio Hotel, I stayed there shortly after inauguration. Lovely property.

Love this one to , very nice hotels. I love the location of the last one. Thank you again

Blackwood- no brainer, sweet discount, new hotel, high end room, good location. Have fun 🤩. Second choice was the same, the mytt with Koi pond. Good video👍🏼”by for now”!

We all know there are 3 prices in Thailand. The Farang price, the haggled price, and the Thai price. I have to wonder what the walk in rates would have been if Vi went in and asked them, without you in sight.

Excellent series. Thanks!

Great video. My first stay in Pattaya some 20 years ago was at the Dusit Thani. I remember a huge lobby, small rooms and an afternoon by the pool interrupted by a family arriving from the sea surrounding by military with machine guns. In my view, none of the hotels you have shown are worth more than the medium priced hotels you have shown. Very helpful.

Thanks for such great information. Hope to see you and Vee in January!

I think you should have had Hard rock hotel Pattaya on your list. I think thai is under 100$

I kinda like the next to last one.... Not that I've ever been to a piano bar.

You must have been looking at the hilton price of $200 for sat sun nites. i see a deluxe king ocean view at the hilton pattaya for $105 on weekdays. weekends are always more expensive.

4:50 the first time I stayed in pattaya, that was the hotel I stayed in. and I remembered every time I cross that walkway, the smell of the sewage hits me right in the face..... but that was like 6 years ago. I don't know about now....

Good info thank you, I think you picked the best one. Looking forward to the full review

I like the Mere Mare

Good choice! Waiting for your next review vid... It's all about the sale, and the desk did a great job and hooked you... lol... btw: Saw some recent news... Hope you aren't having agent problems at your condo... cheers...

good choice!!!

Congratulations on 50K subscribers!

I'm blown away by the value, with or without money saving tips. Yes I'm looking for a sea view but not entirely comfortable with such opulence. Except when wanting to impress...

one thing I found out... there is a big difference between SHA certified and SHA PLUS hotels. the PLUS is a place where you can actually quarantine, plus it provides PCR testing ... thus for even vaccinated travelers, must stay in SHA PLUS one night.

Looking at the Blackwood on your Agoda list you put up it says for the 2nd choice on the list room for 2 adults and 2 children 1530 baht for 2 breakfasts so the 2 children are not catered for? plus who wants to pay $46 for 2 breakfast?

I just got back from Pattaya and I saw you filming on Beach Road. I pass by in the songtaew @15:33

Being a tropical fish lover , I would have choozen the one with the Koi-Pond! Lol ; )

Top series, and I agree with your choice, the Mera Mare would have been second but being at Soi 7/8 is such a bonus

Any info on Centara Azure Hotel in Soi Buakhao 15? It was for sale half a year ago. Did it reopen yet? I really like to stay there because of the convenient location between second road an Soi Buakhao. I also like the large breakfast buffet and fitness center.

You need to check out the penthouse hotel as well.

Mira mare..

Yes its hard to pass up a deal like that when it blows all the others away.. L.A Rob

The night before I left the US last month I paid right at $100 for a stale bun breakfast in the ATL, feeling kinda ripped off now.

Good effort there Lucas and some nice choices will we see the room and breakfast tomorrow 😋😋

Saim Bayshore for beauty ; then Blackwoods for entertainment location

Thanks for the in-depth presentation on hotels. I was convinced about your midrange hotels (the one across from the beach) but these high range ones may have changed my mind.

Let's see...I'm in Thailand and I think I'll go to Taco Bell. I don't think so!🙂

Holiday Inn is not as old as you pretend to know . Its there since 2009 .

supply and demand

They should rent rooms at the massage parlors

Nice choice, I'll definitely check them out 👍

Giving us all great option ideas..

The Siam Bayshore looked great , it sort of jumped out to me , but there’s not one that I wouldn’t stay in .

Thankyou

nice serie over the hotels lucas ,maybe a tip in those 3 serie was easy to put in all the hotels that you mention in the serie in the description box so for people who wantcome in nov can search for in agoda ?

Yet again brilliant presentation and content, I have always been a "budget" visitor but when you compare these prices and facilities for what you will get for the equivalent in the UK? It obviously makes a big difference getting prices in Thailand. (even though I struggle with tech I have just got a VPN just have to learn how to use it 555).

I don't know if being just below the pool is a good idea. I was once on a hotel in that configaration (somewhere around soi10-13 near beach road) and the pool should habe been closed by 9 or 10 pm but every night there was korean boys making party up there until 2am or so and they wasn't quiet either.

I would choose the first one, the Siam Bayshore, but you made a good choice with the discounts and all. But the beginning was more focused on the massage place. Of course, the camera does not have a life of its own. There is a human being behind it. ;-)

can you do a vlog of the OAKWOOD?

Mytt Hotel is the one that used to have the 3000 baht lobster buffet! Damn I remember now the disappointment of walking up and being told no buffet service *sigh* lol

Looking forward to tomorrow’s review. 🙏

why pay 100 dollar in a city where 98 procent of all rooms are empty! they will accept 1000 baht, all of them! 30 dollar in the Hilton!

👍👍👍
