  Wave Hotel Pattaya

  Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 18/02/2021

  » Pattaya's Beach Road is lined with tons of tourist accommodation. Unlike other upscale properties on the strip, this 18-room hotel boasts a very short distance between the guest rooms and the sea. Literally, it takes just a few minutes to walk from your bed to the beach. Soon after my latest visit to the hotel, the second wave of Covid-19 struck. Pattaya is now open to tourism once again, and so is the hotel.

  Ozo North Pattaya

  Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 17/12/2020

  » Launched in October, this new hotel in the Onyx Hospitality Group, which also runs Amari Pattaya next door, offers modish and convenient accommodation that is also good bang for the buck. The property has 406 rooms. The Dream rooms on the west side of the 18-storey building, like the one I stayed in, come with a sea view. I recommend you pay a little more for one of these rooms rather than the Sleep rooms on the city-view side.

  » Ban Amphoe, an up-and-coming beach destination south of Pattaya and Jomtien, reminds many people of what its famous neighbours used to be like decades ago. This boutique hotel in the area is popular among Thai holidaymakers, thanks partly to its modern design and good value for money. It offers Deluxe rooms (35m²) and Corner Suites (55m²). From some of the units, despite the fact that the property is about 150m from the beach, you can get a distant view of the sea.

  Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 20/08/2020

  » Pattaya has been one of the most popular holiday destinations since the end of the lockdown. This property is not in the beach area but for couples, families or groups of friends travelling with their own cars and seeking luxury accommodation with a private swimming pool that doesn't break the bank, it might be a choice worth considering. The place is made up of pool villas of different sizes, from two to six bedrooms. The one I stayed in was good for eight people.
