I was seriously looking into The Wave and Bayshore as well for my next trip. They will now be on the short list with a few others I have looked into and previously stayed at. Nice job!

I'll be staying in Phuket at the Seabed Grand Hotel a SHA + hotel. It comes in at 914 baht a night. Now lucky me I'll only need to stay there 1 night because of the government lifting the quarantine requirements. (Will arrive on October 31st and they are removing quarantine requirements on November 1st) I will search for better accommodation's the following day if indeed the requirements are lifted. Who knows maybe I'll like the Seabed Grand Hotel and stay there. Like the idea I can move to another hotel if I want.

Sea Me Spring is really 3 different hotels, but all the same group. If you book on Agoda they are listed separately. I have stayed myself at Sea Me Spring and Sea Me Spring Too, but not at Sea Me Spring Tree. It is a good hotel and I'd definitely consider them again. I hope to be there in early December and I am considering staying at LK Empress. Doing my initial stay in Phuket as I had already booked it and have never been there so won't need the place to be SHA as I would already be past that requirement in any case.

Nice vid! Lots of info to consider, like Joiner Fees, but maybe their websites have that info. I'm sure the price also depends on how long you stay, I have seen some offer discounts on 30 days or more. I have also been looking at renting a condo on AirBnB, I have seen some in Central Pattaya 2nd Rd area that look real nice for $1,200 for 30 days, comes out to $40 per day (1350 THB). Downside is no breakfast, no maid service.

@Rides4Kickz 2 жыл бұрын

In my experience, most of the joiner fees seem to be a the lower end hotels. Not so much with the midrange as long as you book for 2 adults up front.

@EddieManning 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Loucous, Nicely filmed and presented. One possibly crucial thing that may apply, the rates you selected are for now (i.e. mid October when few foreigners are able to travel easily to Thailand). Once entry is eased from November 1st who here expects those hotel rates to stay as low with the likely higher demand through "high season" too?

@Rides4Kickz 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, just using it as a benchmark, I was more interested in if they would take a booking, many properties are still closed at the moment. I feel if they are open now, they should be open in a month or 2 when people return, if they are not open now, no guarantee they will be open later.

Good review, but you probably forgot the most important question you should ask the Hotel, whether they are guest friendly or not/extra fee... Second most important question (esp if you are quarantined) is do the rooms have a balcony... Otherwise, if you aren't concerned with that... I, (a westerner) would go with Avanti... A-one tends to be mobbed with tour buses (if there are any running) and I've seen long lines of BKK Thai's waiting to checkin/park... YMMV

I prefer to stay in SHA accommodation to be reassured of safety measures. Then look at other places when I arrive see how they are going? You didn't mention the apartments and condos available to rent as well. Some are SHA approved already. I booked one last night for 7 days, at the end of November. It's in Pattaya South Road, for only 15 UK pounds! A real bargain! Thanks for all your videos since the first lockdown last year. Keep me going when I miss Thailand so much! Hope to meet you and the other vloggers soon, I follow. When our wait to return to Thailand will soon be over!

One further issue to consider is breakfast inclusion in the room rate, many hotels overcharge for breakfast purchased at the property. Referring to your top 3 only : The breakfast at Avani pattaya is typically a fantastic buffet style (May have changed during the pandemic with shortage of guests) and appeared to be included in the rate you quoted in the video. Brekky also appeared to be included in the a1 hotel rate you visualized. Whereas, the bay view seemed to be a room rate only.

@Rides4Kickz 2 жыл бұрын

@@Rides4Kickz probably true and breakfast is soo inexpensive around pattaya that not a major concern for most, just a consideration for those who like a breakfast at the hotel especially since it’s higher end hotels.
