it is usually not a spelling mistake or a typo or an auto-correction, is it a transliteration problem.
there are a number of different systems for transliterating Thai script into English, and different groups and even different government departments use different systems - hence the different spellings you see for many common words
in the currency case, the first consonant is usually always transliterated as b, the vowel as either a or ah, and the final consonant as either th or t - thus you can end up with b ah t or b a th depending on the system used. Baht is the most common (and more correct from a pronunciation point of view), but Bath is still frequently seen

A hotel named after its guests - how quaint! And right in the heart of Sunee...
Perhaps the bars should follow suit and call themselves The Nursery, Child Care-ss Centre and Bibs and Boys. Sunee needs to reinvent itself yet remain true to its spirit (jesus juice) and its core clientele.

Friends who've visited recently recommend Mosaik Apartments and Pius Place for proximity with Sunee Plaza. Both within your budget range and no problem with joiners.
For Jomtien Complex, they suggest short-term rentals of one of the View Talay apartments through

Very prompt in their email replies apparently. My friend stayed in View Talay 5 and was very pleased with his apartment which was walking distance to the beach and Jomtien Complex.
I'm trying to work through this post to see if I have missed a subtle meaning but I keep coming back to the same conclusion. I assume it is a passing nod to the Sunee of many years ago and its problems, in those days, with the under-18s and gangs of youths chasing other gangs of youths along the sois during the infamous Yaba Wars.
Sunee has been a very different place for many years and whilst there are a few over-60s, content with the easier pace in Sunee these days, I cannot recall seeing any obvious under-18s in Sunee in the last ten years or more. The decreasing police and immigration activity in Sunee in recent years would suggest they concur.
Glad to hear the underage problem is a thing of the past. You only have to google Sunee Plaza to read about its sordid reputation. My friends and I bave only been to Double Shot bar, at least I think it was Double Shot. I did peek into some of the other bars but didn't feel comfortable going in.

Feeling comfortable comes with age and maturity, it's not for students. Age, barring bad luck is a given but maturity is not.
The one currently under internal exile and the one currently self-exiled are cases in point.
