I've booked the flight!

[Dodger]

Greetings.

I will be spending most of my evening leisure time in JC and while the Venue is a most convenient and much-loved hotel ( I certainly enjoyed their shows - particularly if Ness was performing) I'm now looking for more space with facilities and a good pool with plenty of sun where I can sit in the afternoons. Any recommendations please?

Jai and I booked a hotel in Jomtien Complex for a short stay just recently just for a change in routine and we had a great time.

We stayed at Agate, which you probably know is right in the middle of Jomtien Complex, and both gave it a "thumbs up".

As Oliver has already mentioned, they are not serving breakfasts now until more customers return, but, with that one exception, we were very happy with Agate and will look no further the next time we return to the scene.

The rooms at Agate are very clean and well-appointed...friendly staff...comfy bed...very quiet at night...gay friendly...nice pool with a large stone wall/waterfall with tropical landscaping...private parking...and of course all within stumbling distance to all the boy bars, gay beach, restaurants, etc. I parked my pickup truck when we first checked-in and never needed to use it after that. For this reason I give Agate an A+.

Note: For breakfast we went to either "Delice" (a French restaurant a stones throw from Agate), or a cozy Scandinavian restaurant which sits right behind Agate on Threppraya Rd. which serves a very good breakfast. We enjoyed dinners at Yupins and Dicks Cafe' (our long-time favorites) which are both located in the Complex.

If you want to be close to the "boy action" and still enjoy "quiet times" Agate is worth considering.

Good luck, and most importantly have a great time on your holiday. It will be hard not to.

Many thanks Dodger,

This is very helpful.

We stay at Jomtien Condotel when we are in Pattaya. It's now a bit of a drudge to walk from the condotel to JC but not unmanageable. I am SO happy to hear that O Delice has survived, thanks to Dodger for mentioning it. It is terrific and to my mind is the best boulangerie and patisserie this side of Paris! We'll be in Jomtien in mid-August after a 3-year respite. Hope to see you all then!

Correction, Dodger; not one but two pools, the second of which is of salt water and is preferred by both P and me.

As for the quietness, the JC was busy again last night and the show at The Venue in full swing. not a sound to be heard by us early sleepe

I wish I had known you were at Agate at the same time as Jai and I. It would have been great to hook up for a drink.

Maybe next time.

Yes.....any plans for November?

Only to keep living in the "moment".

I'll look forward to seeing you when you return.

I stayed at Agate once, and I can say that they are friendly to everyone, even to drunk straight couples with madly screaming children.

And before the pandemic there were big buses full of Chinese tourists pulling up to the Agate, so good luck trying to get anywhere near the breakfast buffet when they return!
