How I Found The Perfect Pattaya Budget Hotel 

Thanks for the updates of the four hotel's, I like all of them and much appreciate what work on the video's you do. You and Lon have a great time there.

The people that re-grouted the pool are correct! Expoxy grout can take upto a week to fully cure, that’s rare for Thai maintenance workers to do the job properly and not take any short cuts, kudos to them!

Another awesome and informative video.

Great video, very informative.

Great video again loucous , the hotel looks very nice with decent facilities , good job again

Looks like a great monthly option. Another great, helpful video.!

Nice budget stays , its nice to stay in different areas and see new things ! Thanks for sharing !

But most important thing you forgot!!!!!. The hotel needs to be guests friendly. Otherwise, it's not at all a choice for most of the visitors to Pattaya.

Another great video Loucas. I liked these locations. 👍✌️🙏

Like the videos always informative and helpful plus like the soundtrack and All you do Loucous

Excellent , thank you Lucas.

Nice video & excellent information

Thanks buddy very useful

really useful for anyone planning a trip, thanks

Great Vlog ... my favourite is D Express , great location ,great rooms and a fantastic rooftop pool with brilliant views .. and the reception area is good too ,free coffee and really friendly staff

I find your videos very informative and not just advertisements for a kickback.

Great subject that is useful. Good job and quality.

Thanks Boss. Much appreciated. 😎

Excellent video ! This demonstrates why "Requirements" are highly important. 👍👍👍

Thanks for your share ❤

Nice video. I always look forward to your survival and informational vids Lucas. I've always enjoyed the newly reopened Payaa Hotel on 3rd Ave a block off Beach Road. They also roast their own coffee and the cafe is very nice.

I enjoyed today's episode Lou of the budget hotels. Catch you again in another video.

Awesome Lucas 🙏🍻🤙🏍

Fantastic video Lucas, arriving in jomtien today and need to find accommodation for at least 3 weeks.. and good know i can find something within my budget. Cheers Jeffrey from Australia

Awesome, I’m 55 as-well this is great to information to know Thank-you! Happy birthday 🎉

Another great video... i was surprised at the location of the winner near to the sanctury of truth as its a bit of a trek into the main areas that said it fit the criteria . The point of the video is to show us different places we might not have considered.

Thanks, great video.... Have a nice day

great video love how you just cut to the chase

ALL great options. Thanks !! That D's Hotel is in a Great Location.

Thanks Loucus for this video . For me this criterias are very good . I mostly like to have a table and 2 chairs on my balcony to have a last drink after comming home .

totally agree looking for hotels criteria, although I dont need a pool, especially for a one night deal. the thing is maybe a place doesnt have their own pool but have access permission with a neighbour.

Hey I dont know if youre still reading comments here but the only search criteria you overlooked is having a decent flat screen tv. This is important for many of us who use them for computer monitors… edit video and watching online media. Great job otherwise. I like your work and appreciate it.

Your videos are awesome. Like your top choice

Another fantastic adventure in Pattaya i will use one of those thank U john from OZ living in Korat

I like the methodical and scientific way you shortlist your hotels, condos etc. and then make your recommendations whilst pointing out any limitations or caveats. I'm sure there was an Excel spreadsheet at play here behind the scenes 😆👍

You have become an expert in good budget hotels hunting. $17 a night for all that is a steal. Great video. Happy travels and stay safe. God bless you all👍🏿.

Hello Loucous some great choices and a lot of room for you're baht. Has to be near the baht bus routes and quiet during the night. Also i like being near certain restaurants and not too far from a beach not too fussed about a swimming pool. Good content and information thank you.

Good perfect criterias there....

That's great mate

great reviews Lucas , always a good show you put on and never disappoint , I hope you reach 100,000 subs by xmas .... would be a great present for you

a comfy bed is a must

This is perfect timing. I was thinking to myself that I hadn't seen a list of good budget hotels.

I like D Hotel (near D Apartment), because of its location near Tree Town and having an elevator. I have stayed at several good hotels near Soi Lengkee, but that walk up all those floors is hurting my old legs. Having a pool is a good side bonus.

WOW another great review. A swimming would be a must. Thanks Lucas.

Hello Lucas. What a great vlog, so interesting. For that budget, you met all your needs. Shame about the swimming pool. No biggie if you can use another. Thanks again, Lucas. Stay safe and happy. Next time 😊😊

Some great places to stay for a great price….good review to help some folks along when staying in Pattaya……

Very nice, good value for money this one 👍👍🎉🎉

Thanks Lucas very good 👍👍

6:33 CRT TV, I love it. I miss it so much. Sorry, to talk about the TV 😅

Fantastic value nice to see something I can afford for a change 😂 great work thanks Lucas, 👍

Great job

Pizza looked good!

Great video Lucas, gives me some hope for affordable places to stay while I'm in Thailand in 6 weeks, any idea if there are any deals like that in other places in Thailand?

Looks good , huge room

My criteria is pool, location, balcony, and allowing 2 room guests with no extra charge

Have used "D" Apartments a lot and they have two hotels using the same entrance and amenities, except the right hand side is cheaper and doesn't have a lift, they both use the same coffee making facility at reception, as many times a day as you like and the lift to the pool is for all staying in both so the only difference is the price but only a couple of hundred baht per night. close to the baht bus route, 50 meters , for the baht bus and just across the road to New Plazza with food and drinks places and close enough to all that Soi Baukhao has to offer. 600 baht to 1000baht depending on season.

You've really perfected that Thumbnail "Newby" look haha

Situation Mission Execution Command and Signal Supply and Logistics. Another Well Done, Brotherman! Good Intell.

Great spot i wood stay there!

neat little spot! I think my favorite thing about living there would be just exploring all the neighborhoods. I used to think I'd want to live in Bangkok, but I think I'd overwhelmed and lost there. The smaller towns and neighborhoods would be just fine (not that Pattaya is small, but you know what I mean) lol have a great week!

One of your best videos. How about doing another for “moderately” priced and another video for “luxury” hotels

Great value this hotel, Lucas, and I like the location. Plus there's the baht bus. A short ride to Walking Street if that's what you fancy. Nick J

Siam Platinum Pattaya is an excellent choice. My criteria is being a short walk to the baht bus routes (near Second Rd, Beach, or Buakhow, elevator, air con, and a safety box in the room. Siam Platinum checks all the boxes. Nice find Loucous. Your budget hotel/condo videos are among my favorites. Martin From LA

Lucas did you look at the Baan Baukhoa Hotel Pattaya? It's got a swimming pool, lift etc. Rooms in low season 500-700 baht a night.

that's a cracking big room for the money 👍🏻

Looks like a great place to stay to me nice and clean the pool area looked real fun to specially the wild woman you got dancing around in the pool!!! You should get a lottery ticket !!!

Good video. Of course these are low season prices. It would be interesting to see what the prices are in December or January. A requirement for me is that the hotel has key card access for the room. Much more secure and who wants to carry around a key on a keychain.

Shin breaker bed at the top choice 😢. Very handy for cheap quality food at Terminal 21 👍👍.

Lucas, in June we stayed at the Golden Tulip based on your recommendation. It was fantastic! Close to the Sanctuary of Truth, which is a must visit destination in my opinion. The breakfast was good. Staff attentive and the pool was perfect for teaching a friend to swim. Was a nice stay and we are both thankful to you for the informative video.

U should check out the leck&villa hotel it’s got the best pool I seen in thiland &sibady lodge its beside the hot I built like a ship

Well, this is just in time because i will to thailand next weekend and i will try to go where i never did go before. Maybe it's time to check out Nakua and you saved me the work to look for a place with swimming pool :) D Appartments is to near to where i usually go (by the way it's funny you never talked about that place but i think why it is like that: it's mostly for people that come back over and over and it flyes under the radar even if it's probably one of the biggest places (as surface) in Soi Buakao). Tycoon seems ok for people that want to need those things and want to be on Walking Street. Talking about things i never did and your videos, you remember the place in BKK (Khan Na Yao) with the evening at the bar with the girls?? Last time i did go there (both places), it was an adventure and not really a good one. I usually arrive early morning in Thailand so i did go straight from the airport to the place. I was surprised about how many cars there was on the parking so i said to the taxi to wait and go ask if they have a room. They did, more expensive than what you told in your video but I guessed it was "walkin" instead of Agoda. I left my passport and the money at the reception and did go take my things at the taxi. Back at the reception, everything was done and the key ready. Pick everything up and go toward the elevator (you know it's in another building) and when there, the woman from the reception fun after me and tells me that the checkout is 8pm.....I was confused. Discussions here and there, it came out that because i checked in before 8am, it is only 12 hours. I did tell her that i asked her if they have a room for 1 night and how the hell i have to check out at 8pm if it's for the night. She just told me that i have to pay again if i want to stay for the night as well. Nice way to start my holidays...right? Well, i was tired and in 2 days my holiday so i got to my room to try to sleep a bit and then check again. Well, at midday the new woman at the reception told me exactly the same and the amount i should pay for the night, was another full day ( i am used that usually early check-in come to 1.5 day but not here) so twice the price. Seeing that there is not really anything else around there I stayed anyway. The evening at the bar, well, let's say it was interesting but sure not really a place for tourists to go especially if they not speak thai. There was only a "guy" in the whole bar that speak english but none of the woman or the security. I was playing dumb at the beginning and playing the first time tourist in Thailand game until i saw that that will not take me very far and when a girl decided to translate every sentence in her phone to talk with me, i decided to speak in Thai. Long story short, if you try to go there and hope to take a woman home, you are probably on the wrong place. I had contact with that woman for some months after the adventure and got a clear picture of what they do. Up to the next adventure in Naklua hihihihi

If the place has AC and the electric kettle I'm staying. Extra points for the enclosed shower that keeps the toilet area from getting wet.

hi Lucas sorry it's been a bit since commented i stayed at Winners almost right beside D for the first bunch of days when i was there. don't remember how much it was. nice enough place but no pool. next time i come out will hopefully be a 3 month stay.

Have you done a video on the Baht bus routes? I know the basic ones up and down Beach Road and 2nd Road but not the other areas of Pattaya.

Cheers 🙂

I found a great budget hotel swimming pool, lift and the lift works when you push close unlike majority of budget hotels they don't, Aircon which actually worked perfectly 🥶 the room is massive and a very large balcony, staff very friendly and you definitely can tell when the cleaners have been in your room it smells fresh the only downside is it's location I have to use a walking stick these days but just outside there's a motor bike taxis service. The hotel is called Chitra suite it's very quiet concidering 3rd road is less than 200 meters away.

Pizza looked ry nice.

For Our Month Stay We would want something as this with a Refrigerator and small Cook to if We Dine in or warn up Some GREAT street Food .You do Find these Places and Thank You for doing this .....

Thank you very much for sharing take care

thanks for the video it is really helpfull, what is the best web for bokking hotels in thailand

When i move back to pattaya i hope to run into you!

it was the "more hangers than you usually see " did it for me ,can't have too many hangers . sorry Luke ,can't help it but always like your stuff

U should check out leck&villa hotel in Pattaya it has the best pool I have been init was a fantastic hotel 😊

Excellent yet again, sensible criteria. Did note Wongamat stretched the 200m to BB route, was that on "north Naklua Road"?

My criterea is that in daytime I go mostly to the beach of Jomtien and at night to Walking Street. So the location should be between Pattaya Tai and Jomtien 1. Naklua is too far north.

That's why I don't even bother with a pool. You can just go somewhere near or some places serve food and drinks and you can use their pool. I don't use one every day💦 I like to be walking distance from everywhere lol. Usually use stairs if possible too, keep my legs moving.

Excellent deal especially when you consider the dancing pool girl! 😅

I want to have an easy walk to several places to get a good breakfast

pool ist fine,greetings from munich

Loas can you do a review on budget accommodation in Bkk sometime please cheers m8 ...

Glad I always found something that fits my ony 2 requirements: ramp and lift 😂

3:25 Ahaaa! Must not confuse D Apartment, D Xpress and D Hotel 😮😊. D Xpress is on the same soi as D Apartment, but nearer to 3rd Road.Still a good call..

Do not care it it have a pool or not.. walking distance to LK Metro is much more important to me 😄. Other than that - I agree with your criteria 😃 Another great video - thank you.

Good VFM there

Lucas nice video! How much do you think they will go up by February? See you then 🎉

It's hard to choose hotels for someone else. That said your choice was pretty darn close to what I would choos. I would have liked a breakfast restaurant in the hotel or very close but there was a 7/11. And the pool when it's hot is a necessity. You didn't mention (did you ?) parking for your bike; don't want to leave it in the street.

Lucas !! All the 4 hotels you mentioned are guest friendly or not. I heard that if a guest is brought to the room some hotels are charging 500 bhat in addition to the rent ...

my close to main reaon on selecting hotel is it guest friendly?

That’s a good hotel for the price

All i need extra is close to the beach and maby walking street
