I've stayed at BJ Lodge. BJ is one the original Farang to live in Pattaya. He has Soi BJ named after him. He is an American and his kids also worked at the Lodge. I would call this place a great Newbie safe place. BJ and his staff all speak English and are very friendly. It's on the north side and a bit away from the action. However, if you walk down to the second road and turn left there is a bar called Atlantis. It's a sleeper bar, the owner is a really good Thai Lady. I think her son may have taken over managing the place. Walk about 100 meters and you will get 2 Soapy's and Big C.

Sunshine Vista looks really good for the price. I am going to book it through Agoda for my trip in early October

Ah, good ole Soi 3. 'Member it well. They were still building the rear section of A-1 back then. I used to walk down it everyday from the Welkomme Inn. Those were good times.

I haven’t been to Thailand in 15+ years. In my previous 5+ trips to Pattaya, I’ve always stayed at different hotels. Now days, there seems to be MORE hotels in Pattaya. Since I’m thinking of returning, I’ve been watching your hotel KZfaq visits. They’re very informative on amenities and location; but LOCATION is the key for me. On my first two visits, I stayed in hotels surrounded by go-go and beer bars. The thumping music was heard and felt in my hotel room throughout the night and early morning. That was my newbie mistake to Pattaya.

Great video Daz, i must say the lady on reception at the 3rd hotel was absolutely top class ,i would stay there just to say good morning to her.

Hi Daz, Thanks very good Vlogs I liked Sunshine room was good and pool area the staff look friendly which is always good. Keep up the great work Cheers Irish Paul

Truly enjoyed your vid on gentleman's clubs. No school boy antics. And much more relaxed.

Hey Daz, just a shout-out to say thanks for 'rating' the beds in your video (Soft/medium/ etc). Due to a bad lower back, I have a hard time sleeping on anything but a soft mattress, so I really appreciate your adding this to your videos.

I have stayed at the 3rd hotel the sunshine vista and even though the pool is on the roof it is the coldest pool i have ever been in. Fantastic staff there

Loved the last hotel. I think the young lady told you about the breakfasts when you were talking to her 13:15 to 13:25

i have stayed in the sunshune vista loads of time and its really great value , the breakfast has an good selection the only thing you need to do is make sure you book a room for 2 if you get my drift. i always try to stay here as its so close to everything

Thanks for the updates again of hotels in Pattaya, very helpful. Thanks Daz

Thanks Daz. Been to BJ's 8 times. Location is perfect and breakfast only 100bht. Staff are fantastic, rooms cleaned every day and 2 free bottles of water every day. Pool is much bigger and warmer. Also stayed at Sunshine Vista (great breakfast choices) before I found BJ's Rod Australia.

Thx mate, am staying here for 10 nights over Xmas holidays, looking forward to it, 😁🍻👍

I'll be out there the 2nd or 3rd of September, thanks for touring these hotels!!!

I stayed at the Seven Zea on soi 5, the walk in price in 1200thb per night for standard room, but I managed to book in advance on agoda for 1000thb per night. Pretty decent in my opinion, decent sized room & bathroom, and infinity pool on the top floor over looking the beach.

Thanks for the video. The 3rd hotel was nice all around and the area is great for walking or taking the baht bus. I have a couple of points for some free stays, perfect timing.

Very nice, the last one. Nice swimming pool, nice fitness big. Thanks 👋😃💕🇨🇭

Very enjoyable and many thanks for sharing. The 2nd one attracted me due to the fact it had shower partitions (glass) where warter is kept in the shower recess. Thanks a million for this work you for us tourists. Soi 5 next "please".

Very good as ever. Such a help when planning next trip out. Thank you.

I would definitely look at the sunshine vista hotel next year. It's in a very quiet soi, minuets away from the beach and easy transport for the BAHT bus at both ends of the soi and the price is very reasonable concidering it includes breakfast.

The Mood hotel reminds of hotels in Japan, small but colorful.

Very good video. Last hotel a big YES. Thank you.😂

Some good value hotel there Daz, thank you. The renovated one was way too tiny though and couldn't imagine how they would manage a king or queen bed in there.

I love your informational videos, mate. I live in Bangkok, but I'm planning a trip to the beach soon. It would be great if you could do a summation page at the end of these videos where we can see all the information about the places you've visited. Not a criticism, just a suggestion. Keep them coming!

Great video today daz , the 3rd one looks really nice , the mood looks nice , but is so small , thanks buddy

Im in the video 🎉

Just a heads up, did you see that nice gentleman on the last hotel showing the room, fitness and pool, well he has Muay Thai written all over him lol.

Well worth paying extra 400 baht. Thanks for your efforts making these videos.

Nice video. 1000 baht is a little high for a micro hotel. I do like the last one. Based on one if your earlier video, I booked 17 days at the Blue Sky Pattaya. I got it on agoda for only $18 US / night

Like #31 keep it up! Thank you

The first hotel und third hotel seem to be very good value-for-money. The second hotel's rooms are claustrophobic (16 sqm) and the whole design is "a bit too yellow".

The last lady was very nice.

The 2nd one should really be a pod hotel rooms are so small

Hola Señor Daz!

I was looking for a hotel for my friends that will be coming in October i also think the sunshine vista may be the best choice for them ! nice little pool good rooms and a great location not near the loud bars could be good for 1st or 2nd timeers...L.A Rob

At 13.19 she clearly said it includes breakfast. maybe not fair to accuse her of not mentioning it.

Nice.

🤔….. 14:25 ….can you tell us what is the very tall blue-colored building? I am guessing it is a hotel, but I’m wondering if you know the name of it? I’ll bet there are some spectacular views from some of those higher floor rooms . Outstanding video by the way, regarding these mid-priced hotels - your videos are always very informative and helpful - thank you.

I'm @ Baron Beach Hotel Soi 9, near Pattaya Police Station & across the road of Central Plaza , 1 minute to Starbuck ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,😀

Hey sir, love your videos. Do you think you could do one on high, medium, and low price hotels that are on different baht bus routes?

Some good choices there the 2nd place looks to be aimed at a younger traveller

hello sir i book bleu sky hotel soi 5 you not shows hotels on this area I pay 602 bath for1 night the hole month februari 2024 whit agoda whit free breakfast on saterday and sunday.

thank you for doing the holiday lodge. what is the building across the street? it looks like a ship. very cool looking.

It's a bit quieter up the top end of Beach Road. 1990

These videos are great, however you never ask or mention if they allow guests at no extra cost. Or should we assume the hotels you pick alö are guest friendly? :)

Why do they have cheap hotels with great quality in Thailand and we in the West average hotels for high prices? What is the secret? Taxes, cheap labor or?🤔

The room at BJ LODGE was good.

It could help to be blind with the yellow submarine

Nice hotels, at a good price but, other than Soi 6, the location is a little far from the main center of action in the Buakhao area.

It's the low season and it's more expensive than expected

Of the three I would pick the second one. The third one was ok but you never know what you get with an included breakfast. Staying next to that cruise ship I probably wouldn’t be able to get the love boat theme out of my head. In the end like many have Sid it is to far from bukhao and lk metro

8:43 hong khûu (one room for two) and tiang khûu (2 single beds) passathai yâak 😩 and of course tiang diaw for king size bed 🙏🛌

Newbie question are these mis priced hotels guest friendly

Not sure about the Bananas in Pyjamas place! 🙂

Hi Daz. Can you do a Video on thai SIM cards Please. I’ve heard central festival does a SIM card. Then you download the company app 3 months for 550bt. Cheaper than a tourist sim at the airport.

Daz, can you do a video on hotels of all star rating in Soi 5, Pattaya. Also if they can arrange transport from the airport to Pattaya and return on due date ?? Please if you can. Thanks in anticipation of your work.

Great video..what camera are you using?

MOOD HOTEL 16 SQ METERS. That's RIDICULOUS! Can't move around. 1000 BAHT. ABSURD!!

What do you use for camera

haha ..5:45.mentioning ' and you have a shower again ' is a bit ? because never seen one without a shower ....chit chat ?

@8:42 That TV placement. WTH?

Daz I appreciate the video very good info, I have a question what’s the best high end hotel that has full ocean view just steps from walking street in the heart of all the action that’s east to walk and bar find every night ?

Is this rooms r guest friendly.. 3rd hotel name plz.. 1400 with breakfast

When is Low Season?
