The first hotel was the best hotel for the money, elevator, pool, fridge

I am a " Cheap Charlie" and love your cheap hotel reviews! I usually scope out a few places when I'm in Pattaya. Thailand is as expensive as you want to make it! Love the place

Let's see medium priced hotels near beach rd, near soi 6, and near soi 7 ( and 8 ). Also loved your gentleman's club guides, need more of those.

You do the best hotel tours by far . You show us what’s on offer , it’s surprisingly hard to find out sometimes on the booking sites . Thanks for showing what and where the place is and letting the punters decide if it’s good for them . A simple service well needed and rarely done . Thanks mate 👍

Thanks Daz. I agree with not caring if the place serves breakfast when you're staying smack in the middle of the night life. Walk outside and literally have 10 places to eat on either side of your hotel. I also agree with coming to Pattaya in low season in terms of deals, not to mention better nightlife choices in terms of numbers. I avoid going in December/January/Songkran for exactly those reasons. 24 days til touch down!!

Stayed 1 week at the Sawasdee place on my second time Pattaya in 2001. Was okay then but once was enough. Also stayed at Charlie Place 3 times in 2008 and 2009. It was okay, no problems and don't recall being bothered by outside noise. A lady worked reception then one of the nicest hotel staff encountered. When I arrived at the hotel for my second visit, she came and gave me a big welcome hug. One and only time that's ever happened. Of those 4 places, Charlie P the best. I stay in more " upmarket" hotels these days. Thanks for video.

Great option on a budget. Personally i rather spend an extra $35 aud a night to get a bath, large balcony, 55" tv, a washing machine and pool but each to their own. A non western shower would drive me nuts lol

Stayed in the first hotel you showed Siam Sawadee in soi baukhao in 2000. We stayed for a month. The monthly rate we paid was 8 or 9,000bt can't remember exactly but I know it worked out about £5 a night. You have to remember the exchange rate was much better in those days. In fact it got better every year, getting up to about 76 baht to the pound in 2007 until the credit crunch in the west (2008) saw Sterling plummet against other currencies. Rooms were and still look nice and clean and the swimming pool is very good. There use to be a restaurant there but you don't really need it because there are so many places to eat within yards of the hotel.

I stayed at the Siam Sawadee a few times prior to treetown becoming a place, in fact watched them build the road from Soi Skaw beach to soi Bukuoi. This IMO is the best of bunch you showed in this vlog. As a walk in, 10,000 baht per month with 10 free breakfasts as they had a restaurant and also a pool bar then. In fact they had a special on the top floor all the rooms were only 8,000 pm. Now I prefer staying in Jom tien at a hotel on the beach. The Katesiree is a nice place for cheap beer (70b) for a large bottle and people watching.

I think we've all walked past these and wondered: "What's it like?". Now we know. This is a popular subject Daz. More please! Also: Love the mid-90's TVs in Charlie Place. Lol.

The back room seems the much better deal, the quietest. Looked better than the balcony one. First hotel seems the best value, best facilities. By doing those videos you do a great service and will attract viewers

Larger fridges than most expensive hotels.Nice rooms. And all the ladies were polite and helpful.

I stayed sawadee siam for 1 month I really liked it but there is a rock music bar opposite didn't bother me but its noisey, the room and staff lovely, no restaurant pool very nice..

I've stayed at the first one 3 times in low season and it's a great place to stay.

Daz, you truly know what we want to see. Nobody does it better.

I enjoyed this video on cheap hotels, but I would like to see more on slightly higher priced and quieter areas. Personally, I don't need to be right in the thick of the action, I rent a motorbike or take a BOLT if I need to and I really appreciate a good night's sleep.

Now that’s what talking it’s worth sharing. Saving on accommodation is key to having more money for pleasure. Thanks give me more 😊

Hi Daz. The Katesiree is a great people watching bar if you can get a seat at the front facing Soi Buakhow! And the beer is dirt CHEAP! A big bottle of Chang or Leo only 75 or 80 bhat, and no hassle or hussle from girls asking for a drink! 👍👍👍👍👍

Hi daz , I haven’t meet you yet , I hope that you ok with me calling you daz , the video was so informative, i don’t normally stay in places like this , but the rooms look okay ,I am quietly impressed

I stayed at the Sawasdee Siam on my 1st trip to Pattaya in 2006. It was ghastly.

I can recommend "Nalanta Hotel" (Soi 21, off Soi Bukhao, just opposite Tree Town) where I already stayed in May 2022 and in January 2023 and will stay again soon from May 3rd to May 31st. I pay 999 THB/night cos I booked directly at the reception desk (Agoda might be a little bit more expensive). The hotel does not have a swimming pool, but big rooms with balcony and is very centrally located !!! It is also surprisingly quiet and no "joiner fee" is charged ... of course. 😁👧😜

Thanks for the showcase on the low-budget side of Pattaya. You are always bringing the good stuff! I moved to Jomtien and you were a significant influencer that got me to even look at Thailand. I was thinking what a great idea for a bachelor party on Soi Pothole for the local guy as well. Soi Pothole is absolutely my favorite Soi. Dean at the Dive Bar, Backyard, and Maggie Mays, thank you for Maggie Mays. I love Guinness and I love Maggie Mays; what a perfect match! What a great Christmas present.

I really enjoy your hotel videos!!! Thanks for taking the time to make them. It's a big help.

Daz, appreciate you showing all types of places to stay. Like you said, if you want to spend your money on other fun, then these hotels are options. Good job. 👍🏿

A cheap place is kitty corner from Subways and behind the 7/11. 5 yrs ago they were 8k per month off season and 11k high season. A quiet room, with high ceilings and a 2 min stole to the clubs. Very, very fun. And much better than the Sawadee's.

Good stuff. It's so wild how the prices can be different between 'showing up in person' vs booking online....for better or worse. I'm actually typing this message from a condo you previously reviewed months ago. I have a Thai uncle who lives in Bangkok who originally contacted the person who gave you the tour of where I'm staying at. The price she quoted to you was the same as your video as well as the security deposit. The only difference was she also wanted a 5,000 baht refundable reservation fee. Once I was ready to book hours later, neither of the 2 condos available at the time.....simply weren't. I ended up booking thru Agoda at the same place as I didn't feel comfortable not having housing secured upon arrival 48 hours ago. I paid an additional $150 (USD) for the month, but they didn't ask or require a full month's security deposit....only 1,000 baht cash upon arrival for the security deposit. Welcome to Thailand, as you say.

Fair play to them, I stopped here on my first ever trip, it was pretty grim but did the job, it looks like they have refurbished since 7 years ago. The swimming pool is great for the soi honeys hanging about outside (this being Sawasdee hotel)

Good informative video, thanks 🎉

What I enjoy about these videos is your inclusion of ambient sound. It really sets your posts apart from those smothered by the synthetic atmosphere of an all too familiar, copyright free musical soundtrack.🙏☮️

I am going in may I will be staying in cheap Charlie’s I’ve never stayed there before but I am now keep up cheap hotels love it it different when every body else bloggs good work

Nothing is really far from the city centre. I stay on Beach Road and its a ten minute walk to soi honey

Crazy Sawasdee hotel in High season is closer to 1000+ bahts, great video Daz. You can also negociate weekly and monthly rates at these hotels for even better rates, but only in Low season, great AC and Pool if you can handle the high heat and humidity.

I stayed at kjs house in January for one month on the 4th floor . There was a router outside the door but they don't have the password for it, they only have the password for the 5th floor. The room was at the back with a balcony but no table or chairs, there was a safe in the room but I did look at another room and there was no safe. It is also very loud until 2am even at the back because of live music from a bar on an adjacent wall, and the bed was rock hard . The rooms are supposed to be cleaned every 3 days, but I ended up keep having to ask every 4th day. It was very cheap though, if you go in low season you should be able to choose your room so probably not so bad then. They also use them as ST rooms at 350 baht

Mate I like the idea of you doing affordable hotel reviews, don't have to be cheap just value, won't know that until you poke your head in of course . A short story along the way would be good if you're up to the multi tasking.

1st hotel was fine and dandy, thanks for sharing Daz, regards from England 🍺🍺👍

I remember watching them build the first hotel you showed. Siam Sawadee or whatever it's called these days. I was staying at the Diana Estate nearby for quite a while. Must have been something like 28 (??) years ago or so. As soon as it was built I tried it for a week or so. It was 400 Baht when it first opened I seem to remember so not much of an increase!

I believe that first one was 3 to 4 times that price in high season. The second I’ve looked at online but decided against it because of no elevator. All those on a bar street I would recommend top floor as the noise lessens the higher up you are

Sawadee Siam was the first hotel I stayed in in Pattaya 13 years ago, it was an absolute dive. That room looked much better. I do wonder how many they have renovated to that style

Sawadee Siam is a great cheap old revamped hotel also has kettle and coffee.Used to do a nice buffet breakfast but got closed due to Covid.Good to see that sunny pool open again.Maybe open pool bar again.

If the noise is a problem, don't forget you can use ear plugs. Also I saw Sutus Court 5 and Nikom Court both of those are in that Buakhao area and similarly priced. Sutus Court 5 looked as though it had a swimming pool, but as you say, its kind of tough to get an idea what the places are like rom looking at Agoda or what have you, so thanks for another excellent video!

thanx, very helpful. Rooms all looked very clean and livable for $15 yes, much more than id expect for the prices. thanks alot.

after seeing them i do believe i would spend more just for the ammenities on the higher dollar places. if thats all you want to do is stay in that area it would be a good choice because you would be up when it is noisy and sleeping when it is quieter good video

Can you please check on medium priced hotels with a pool? Hopefully close to the sea

Hi Daz I stayed in that room in kjs, and had the bed springs sticking in my back. That was about 4 years ago, so probably changed the mattress now.

Very good daz to get a look at cheaper accommodation.

Would stay in any one of thoes hotels, maybe the one with swimming pool is my first pick. Thanks for doing this content, very helpful. As for the noise well you wouldnt be staying bang in the thick of it if you dont want to party, plus you can get some good herb to knock you out.

The cheap Charlies will love these places Hollywood Daz for sure party or night sleep all day the old TV from 15 years ago wow still ok places for sure.

Have stayed at the Katsiree , big rooms and pleasant staff but the WiFi was a bit Iffy and no lift . Charlie place looks interesting especially with the lift and the receptionist seemed friendly . Have thought about the Sawadee but it always looked so rundown , maybe they did a Refurb and a lick of paint after being closed for so long during C0vid . A mate of mine stayed at the Oyo , said it was ok and not too loud , but the stairs put me off

Daz, yes, please do a video on medium-priced hotels. And, what about a picture of yourself so that if I run across you in Pattaya, I can buy you the beer you mention from time to time as a thank you.

Great prices & location great value as well. Great video Daz

I miss the old honey Inn Hotel on soi honey. Started staying there in 2000 onwards. It had a little swimming pool opposite. Great staff there and cheap and nice rooms. Now it's that big horrible soapy place.. anyway mai pen rai that's in the past. For me I'd go for the first hotel here. Another top notch video daz

Good job Daz on showing hotels. You did show one room with a safe but the others I didn't notice they had any safes in rooms. Let us know if when showing rooms they have safes in rooms. Thanks again and doing a good job.

Extended stay in the room without windows would drive me crazy. I like cheap, but not that much :).

I booked this hotel for Jan 24 cost me £11 a night on special offer for 3 weeks. location is spot on and I only intend being in in the room at night

thx Dax, always good to have options

Sitting here in Doha waiting on my connecting flight to Bangkok thanks for these

Great prices! No frills, but close to everything. Good information.

Save money on your hotel so you can afford those new outrageous 1500 baht bar fines.....😢

Cheap Charlie is the best for your money lovely staff it’s brilliant

You certainly can find the value. Thanks for another great video.

Stayed sawadee siam before, didn't really fancy it. Of the 4 i would probably try the 1 on soi diana but tbh for a couple of hundred baht more a night u could get well better. Thanks for the video 👍🏻

Thanks Daz for another informative & helpful video!

I've stayed at some cheap budget hotels but the ones you have shown are not for me I'm booking for September and will be looking around for a hotel mid range price but will still be looking at budget hotels because you can find little gems of budget hotels around that area. There is one I would recommend is secrets which have a large balcony's and very clean rooms and that was 500 BAHT during high season 3 years ago and I think it's still open.

great videos love it!!! im from canada and coming that way

I really appreciate all your vlogs, please keep up the great work.

Great info as always on Pattaya hotels... although when you can stay somewhere like Acqua or Page 10 for $35 I really don't see the attraction of these guest houses.

Thanks for this tour. We all have our priorities. I prefer to spend money at bars. If only that last room at OYO (KJS) had a table and chair. As a project for May next year, a tour of cheap monthly rooms along or near Buakhao would be nice.

The reason why the agoda prices seemed cheaper is their prices are shown exclusive of tax. When you click book the taxes are added and the prices will be close to what the hotel receptionists were quoting.

Great information. Really good to see these opportunities. I stayed at D Hotel D Apartments complex for Songkran and it was fantastic. I like Sawadee and Charlie’s. I hear food is good at Charlie’s. Love this area and your right. Everything is out the door. You need for nothing. Single guys. This is a perfect video for you. Any of these Hotels would give you a time of your life in a minute time from your doorstep. Try Soi 11. Excellent Soi for entertainment. I end up there on many nights and afternoons for some relief. If you know what I mean.

Stayed at the sawasdee for 2 nights when I came back from Philippines paid 400 a night Agoda and had breakfast at hungry hippo nearly opposite good place

thanks daz.. yes more cheap hotels but must have a pool. please

That third gal was not loving her job at that moment 😂 I've felt her pain many days

Great video great view hotel. Great view Thailand 🇹🇭

Thanks for the preview. I'm going to be staying for about 17 days. I might look for something a little nicer and quiter, maybe $20 - $25 a night. Maybe with a shower for 2 😁

We nearly got to see you through the glass door 😮

Daz. You parted them patio doors like a set of fish flaps. 15:53

Hello . Wonderfull Channel. You are the best 👍 .

great info Daz. Thanks.

Another fantastic video. Sir, if you get a chance, could you please take a look at the high five hotel on Soi 8. This one has me very curious. Also, there’s a hotel called the amethyst. This one also need ‘s your keen investigational skills. Thank you in advance.✌️✌️✌️🍺😀😀😀

We have booked for a few days in June in Sawadee siam

I hope you also show places like this in Jomtien

Hi daz could you do a video on the corner lodge for your viewers just over 3rd road its an absolutely hidden gem and its not to far from the action at great prices cheers keep up the good work 👍

More cheap hotels please stayed in the pool hotel can't beat it for the price

Another great video Thanks

I’d like to see a lot more beach hotels with sea views

Hi. Thanks for good job, if you can go on more 👍

That very near to LK metro just walk 5 minutes 😅…1st hotel was good also😊

Thanks for the information and videos. It looks like Charlie Place has safety box behind reception is this correct?

Any chance you can give us a look at Sunshine hotel and residences?? Great video !

Great job, thanks for the work you put in.

thank you for helpful info even though in this strong hot weather ~ until Mid October many hotel price down, I guess more than 30% down than high Season

Like these videos. Can’t really tell anything from agoda. I like the guesthouses on soi Lengke

Hi a nice video please make more videos from cheep hotels in centre Pattaya with pool and little gym

That first hotel is a dive I stayed in it before never again !!

Thanks man ! 1st one is best hotel for its price !

Oyo lady be toasted......😢

Great video 👍👍

I love how when daz goes into these places without the alan bolton girls. The way he asks them wellll can i look at a room Can i do that like its his first time asking anywhere lol

Another great video, they obviously don’t know that they are being filmed which gives a true impression, could I ask what camera do you use? Thanks

I arrive 27 july for 5.5 weeks. First holiday since Feb 2020 (which was patts too)
