I am planning to make a second visit to Pattaya in December and am looking for some advice on hotels.
The first time I stayed at the Rabbit Resort on Jomtien beach. I would be happy to go back there again but would prefer to find somewhere that was gay, as opposed to gay friendly (noisy children annoy me at the best of times, but at breakfast with a hangover...)
I am looking for a comfortable place to stay within easy walking distance of either the beach at Jomtien or the bars of Pattaya. Compared with London, hotel prices are so cheap in Thailand that cost is not really an issue.
The website for Room-Club, just along from the Rabbit Resort, sounds as though it might fit the bill but I haven't been able to find any independent reports or reviews on it. Remembering how close I came last year to booking a room at the Siam Thani based on its advertisement in Sparticus (a disaster I narrowly avoided solely because I stumbled accross this forum shortly before booking - for which you all have my eternal thanks), I am nervous of basing any decision on advertisements alone. Does anyone have any first hand experience of the Room-Club?
I would also welcome any views or news on other places that may be suitable - the only other place I have seen on the web is the Rama Kien, but that seems to be a bit of the beaten track.
