Guesthouses in Sunee Plaza

[kittyboy]

I had planned on staying at Ting Tong in late June but that is no longer an option.
Two Guys is closed?
Checking the web is appears that El Dorado is also closed.
Which guesthouses are left open in sunee plaza - I like staying in sunee it has the pool and is in the middle of the night life.

Sad to see many of the venues closing.

I've stayed at the Elephant Plaza, next to the now defunct Ting Tong.

It's nothing fancy but it's clean.

The hotel that's connected to the Sunee pool is the Marina Inn and it has some reasonable rooms. Also, I believe that when you stay there you don't have to pay for the loungers by the pool. But, sadly, my information is 5 years old.

Hey - Thanks for the reply- I have stayed at the Marina inn in the past. It is nice to have access to the pool but the marina inn is kind of noisy. In the past I stayed at Two Guys or I rented the room Wan and Collin had above their bar next to Ting Tong.

I am looking at the hotels and guesthouses in the Jomtien complex. The Venue has some discount room listed at about $23 a night which seems very reasonable. I may shift my pattronage to Jomtien.

As long as there's no pussy there, he should be fine...

I've booked at The Venue for the first time ever for my trip next month as my usual Jomtien lodging, East-Suites, is fully booked for my dates, and at about Bt1000 a night does as you say seem very reasonable, but decided on there for it's location rather than price.

As for Sunee area, I think Joe552 recently stayed at the Condo overlooking the Marina Pool and was satisfied with the room he booked there.

I know it's obvious, and i'm not sure why.........but the way Scottish-Guy has worded it has me laughing every time I read it....could even be the word 'cattery' itself.

And the "liquor" store nearby will be very popular.

What is the appeal of guesthouses. Why do so many here seem to prefer them over a proper hotel?

Damn good question.

I prefer inexpensive 3-star or Thai-style hotels (not that I have a choice really!).

My guess is gay guesthouses are popular with the generation that felt the need to be segregated from straights, for safety, community or whatever reason. Some people just like that 'village' feeling where they can exchange hellos and gossip over breakfast among people of the same gen and orientation. My impression from reading these forums is that some people don't travel much at all other than for sex tourism and gay guesthouses, usually with a gay owner and gay staff, provide a 'guided' experience. And yet others might feel awkward about bringing their guests backs at "proper" hotels so gay guesthouses are a good overall choice.

Funny..I would pose the question the other way round. What is the appeal of a hotel? Why do so many people seem to prefer them over a nice proper guesthouse?

People are so strange..but to each their own?
I assume that is a general principle that should apply?

A guesthouse reminds me of family holidays in Eastbourne.

If you are staying for several weeks, or months, a guest house or condo would be a must in my book.
