Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
I will be in Pattaya for one week in April, and instead of staying in Boystown/Jomtien area like I normally do, I thought I might try the Tukcom/Sunnee area this time. Any advice about accommodation in this area? If I dont find anything worth looking into, I might end up going for Jomtien or Boystown like I always do.

Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
I like to be in the centre of the action so I've stayed at the Elephant Plaza Hotel in Sunee a few times.
It's a bit basic - certainly not the Hilton! - but the rooms are large, as are the shower areas. They are cleaned every day.
-
Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
Only a few minutes walk from Sunee, I've stayed at Mosaik Apartments, and last month at Yensabai Condo. Both I would recommend.

Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
I've stayed in Mosaik a number of times and it's good value and it's clean and tidy. Some of the beds I seem to remember were quite hard and if a visitor rings your door buzzer from the street you have to go the main door down on the street to let him in ( a pain if you've just come out the shower). You cannot release the main front door from your room.
Front office staff are very accommodating. There's a night watchman too. Good restaurants around the area.

Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
Mosaik is fine. My room came with a foam topper on the mattress, so it was probably the most comfortable bed I've had in Pattaya. The cleaning regime is strange, as you have to request this & sometimes they still don't show up. When having a different guest every day, having clean towels matters.
Flamingo has been a good budget option, but I've not stayed there for a few years. They were sill open last month, but I have no idea where they market the rooms now.
Holidays Home hotel is directly opposite the Mosaik. I've not tried this.

Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
friend used to wonder why I stayed at LCR when a place around Tukcom had pool and breakfast for less money.
anyone know where he was thinking now that LCR is no more?

Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
Mosaik sounds like a nice place. Is there any room type that is better than others? And it doesnt sound like anyone had problems with visitors there.

Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
I've stayed at both Yensabai and Mosaik and both are fine. Yensabai has a large and well-kept pool, if that matters to you; Mosaik has none. Both are condo-type accommodations so no breakfast available, but there are many nearby options. I think Mosaik is slightly more expensive and, in my opinion, has slightly nicer rooms on average; the Yensabai condos have various owners so quality varies, but none I saw were really run-down. Both are fine with (legal-age) joiners--no fee; Yensabai checks and (I think) holds IDs. Everybody mentions Mosaik's hard beds, but I didn't find them so. Yensabai actually overlooks Sunee Plaza on one side; Mosaik is a few short blocks away. The office at Mosaik is friendly and easy to deal with. The Yensabai manager(?) is horrible, but the desk clerks are fine, and if you rent through Pattaya Rent a Room(The Austrian Consulate) across the street, they're fine too and you shouldn't have to deal with the Dragon Lady. I'd happily stay in either one again
-
Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
I agree with Capt Swing. I stay at Yensabai.
It does have one disadvantage. No free WiFi. If you need to buy it you can get it from the terrible Dragon Lady downstairs at an outrageous 1000 Baht per 30days. It is also very poor quality in some rooms.
They do keep IDs whilst your guest is in the room.
If you decide on Yensabai The Austrian consulate has gone, so only look for signs for Pattaya Rent a Room when you arrive. It is right outside the condo. There is a new Yensabai room rental outfit in the next Soi,also opposite the Condo. Don’t mix them up!

I always preferred block C. That way, you didn't have to walk past the security guards all embarrassed with your boy special for the night. It was around the corner, so you could just come and go without and prying eyes, except the CCTV I guess.

It's sold by the owner to a buyer who has bought 2guys and the next 2 units.
Will be re-opened as a refurbished hotel/guesthouse I think.

Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
Round the corner from Mosaic, is a small guesthouse called Dolphin , that I stayed at last time ..Nice Balcony room for 750 ...
-
Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
Is dolphin closer or further to Sunee than Mosaik.
Ps. I always stay at Mosaik and love it
-
Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
It is all of 50 metres closer!
Used to have a superb restaurant...alas restaurant closed some years ago.

Just for your info, in Mosaik, all the entrances, apartment doors, room doors and corridors are all under CCTV surveillance. They know what is going On, but don't care, unless you're in trouble with your guests. So don't worry. Have fun!

So not "forced to close" then. Sounds similar to the hysteria surrounding the sale of the Tarntawan Hotel in Bangkok

Sad news about two guys being forced to close. I have fond memories of spending time there over the years. I was planning on staying there summer of 2018.
I assume the owner john had a long term lease which is voided upon sale of the property? I have no idea how these type of leasing arrangements work in Thailand.
I guess good news for pattaya as investors are still willing to build and put money into projects.

Yes. Looks to me like it's not a case of "forced to close" but I don't know for sure.
What what I hear the adjoining 2 shop houses have already been sold by the owner to Indian buyers and now they've bought the shop house called '2guys' from the same owner and it happens that the lease on 2Guys expires now as well.
So more a coincidence of circumstances than a forced closure.

Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
In this case, forced closure = forced to vacate the current premises, which always leaves the option of leasing something else.

"forced to vacate" because (1) the lease has expired (or otherwise voided eg. vacant possession as a condition of sale, which is probably in the lease), or (2) the rent is in arrears or (3) ???
If (1) or (2) then not forced to vacate
-
Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
Forced to vacate due to the landlord refusing to extend the lease. Simps really.

Yep - Sounds like two guys was forced to close.

Right - so not forced to close. Their lease expired. Normal commercial practice. What a bunch of drama queens

No problem. In the future I will remove the quotes when I correct another poster's mistakes. My apologies to you and the board.

Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
Marina Inn is a bargain at 500 THB per night, even now at high season, and use of pool included.
Apart from there, I often stayed at Baan Dok Mai for 700 THB per night in high season or 600 in low season. No staff at reception at night, and street quiet as well, you could bring in a horse/donkey/whatever animal you fancy and nobody would see you.
-
Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
Christianpfc , When I last stayed at the Baan Dok Mai, I was kept awake all night by a Kari-oke across the road ..Didn't stop until 6 in the Morning . Has it closed down now ?
-
Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
I thought Baan dock mai was sold a long time ago
-
Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
AFAIK, the karaoke still operates. I was never bothered by by noise from there. I mean I didn't hear any noise when I went to bed.
Baan Dok Mai changed ownership, but remains in operation.

Another business sold by Jimmy? Let's hope that his partners remain alive and at liberty.

Apposite
-
Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
Correct me if I'm wrong (as if anyone would hesitate to do just that): isn't Jimmy (ex-Ambiance) the current or former owner of Baan SOUY and Baan DOK MAI (near Tukcom), another place altogether, owned by someone named Warwick and then someone named Chris?
-
Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
Captain Swing, you're correct.
-
Re: Accommodation Tukcom/Sunnee area
Marina Inn Sucks... IMHO (though i realize we all have different priorities/ perspectives). But can't beat the location of course, especially if you're into Sunee, which I am. I prefer it a little more low key.
