where should I stay in Sunee Plaza

[davidmelba]

coming to Sunee in mid June...I am in my late fifties and looking to spend about 900 bt per night for hotel..I'm torn between the colonial, the marina or elephant Plaza Hotels..I want to be near the action but not too crazy since I plan on being in bed by 3 a.m....any advice from you long time visitors? thank you for your help

[Manforallseasons]

Firstly don't expect to be "in the middle of all the action" as I've never seen Sunee as empty as it is at the moment. Elephant is good, and one you didn't mention Eldorado nice guest house with ok restaurant. I'm not a "long time visitor" I live here.

Yensabai Condo has daily and weekly rates, overlooks Sunee but best to stay on the swimming pool side of building.

i always stay at two guys guest house
and in june they have a specail offer for every 4 night you get one free
look them up
its well worth the money

I want to reiterate a previous poster's recommendation for Two Guys Guesthouse. Close to Sunee Plaza Two Guys is a great location, good rooms, good food, good rates and John is a great host and information guru.

huh, no recommendation for Mosaic?

I'm assuming their quality has went down over the last few years? They were always almost the #1 recommendation.

I'll be going back to Mosaik next week (yippee!). My fifth time (I think). I'll post my findings then, but have no reason to expect standards are worse than before. Always had a good experience there.

Splurging on a one bed apartment rather than a studio this time, since it will be my last visit to Pattaya until someone dies (and it's not the King).

[Nirish guy]

Don't worry joe as the good news is that there's someone dying every day SOMEWHERE in the world so you might well end up back there long before you think then - and especially if those 6 numbers and a bonus ball come up eh !!! :-)

[joe552]

NIrish, I don't play the lottery, except when it comes to offing boys from go-go bars. And I've never seen a bonus ball, much to my relief :)

. The beds are way to hard :P

And their "kitchen" is somewhat a joke. They offer a fully equipped kitchen, but don't bother giving you a pan, pot, or even a kettle. You either request those separately, or you head to Friendship Market and buy some.

Who cooks on their holidays? Matt, I know you stayed at Mosaik for quite a while, but for a tourist, all I need is a kettle for morning coffee.

All pawnbrokers have three - and openly flaunt the fact by hanging them out the window

Best not stay any side in this place. The dragon bitch boss had upped the joiner age to 20 cos she can -I'm told.

I don't know, I love cooking. I like restaurants too, but if I'm on a say 2 week holiday, I don't want to eat out every meal. That's why I've generally always preferred serviced aparmtents over hotels.

That, and cooking with someone is always fun. Grab a boy special, head to Friendship Market to pickup some groceries, then hang out at the apartment and cook together over a couple beers and some good music. Good times. :-)

[joe552]

Ah, that's where we differ Matt. Cooking is a chore for me, and one of the joys of being on holiday is that I can let someone else do it. I rarely "eat out" here at home, so I enjoy going to restaurants when on holiday.

[christianpfc]

I'm with joe552.

I can't cook, I don't want to cook, and food is so cheap in Thailand that it's not worth cooking at home. That saves me time and I don't have to store foodstuff. And I don't make a mess in my room (it's better to have a separate room for cooking - water vapor and oil splashes).

Marina Inn is very cheap. About 20 EUR a night. Cheaper is almost impossible and it borders Sunee.

[Dalewood]

Gentlemen: If I want to stay in Sunee in a place at least as nice as Ganymede, where should I choose? Bondi and DD Inn were probably very good value, but I want to stay in a nicer place. (Hyacinth Bucket cast her spell upon me....)

[bobsaigon2]

I suspect you won't find a "nicer place" to your liking in Sunee. If you don't mind taking baht buses, you might consider http://www.baansouy.com/, possibly the nicest gay accommodation in Pattaya.

If you do decide to stay in Yensabai Condo do NOT deal with the above mentioned dishonest cow. Book thru http://www.pattayarentaroom.com/

I gave up stopping there as the rooms were not cleaned properly and the cleaner was clearly employed to sit on her fat arse in reception all day.
That was a few years ago, so hopefully they have fixed this.

Two Guys is not in Sunee Plaza, but is a short walk away. If we're extending the boundaries, Mosaic and The Flamingo are other good options.

As for the Colonial, has anyone ever stayed there?
