Pattaya Thailand, MID Priced Hotels in Central Pattaya Pt 4 Cost of living 

the 5th day test is 50 bht, its this taxi, hotel and test on day1 at over inflated prices which is putting people off along with the ridiculous thailand pass and insurance which isnt worth the paper its written on

Like the second hotel with sea view. Having a balcony with a nice view can make all the difference in my opinion.

Got to have a balcony

Stayed at Flipper Lodge many times. Perfect for newbies coming to pattaya.

The Flipper lodge & flipper house really were the places to stay around 10/15 years ago! The soi was really busy every night & girls used to drag you out the taxi before you even checked in!

I've stayed at Flipper Lodge a couple of times. The last time I was in Pattaya (before Covid) l ran in the Pattaya Marathon in July. The starting line was literally 1 minute walk from the hotel (on Beach Road). The price is good but the breakfast was excellent. Much, much better than I expected. Lots of food to choose from. I'd just finished the race and was exhausted when l returned to the hotel for breakfast so perhaps my judgement was clouded! They really looked after me regarding guest safety too. A security guard sat on a chair by the lift and 1st floor stairs to take joiners' ID cards and wouldn't return them until checking with the guest. In terms of location it's perfect for the bars and beach. Sailor Bar across the road is fantastic too. My room was a bit run down, no balcony, view of the rear of run down buildings outside the window. However, I'd definitely stay there again. Apparently there's a new tower and an old tower, which hadn't been renovated yet when I stayed in 2019. The renovated part is more expensive and has sea views. For price, a newer hotel, and a feeling of being close but at arm's length from the noise of bars l always stay at the April Suites. It's my default option in Pattaya. Unfortunately they don't offer breakfast there though.

i stayed at flipper lodge on my first trip to thailand back in 1991,,also stayed there another time in 2005..great times in this hotel. location is stones throw from beach rd.

I like the older style hotels, especially those hidden away a little. Those are still a lot more expensive than my favorite places though. Thanks Daz.

The Weekend property is a really good find for.. well a weekend ;) Those chairs look cool but I imagine not very comfortable.. and no love seat, sofa, or even easy chair to relax in. Nice layout and view.

Hotel in soi 8 was my first stay in Pattaya, 15 years ago, 800 bah a night and £1= 71 baht at that time. Good times. Thanks for share with us.

Hey that weekend hotel is a bit of a find . Maybe no pool or gym but a nice room ,balcony ,sea breeze . Good one Daz !

Was excited to see the Flipper but a bit dissapointed. Balcony is a game changer.. Thank you so much for doing this tour!!!

Soi Buakhao is a hot nightlife area after the epidemic, please explore more mid-priced hotels there.Thank you for sharing👍

Yes Daz lots of tourists soon I know 9 people who will be coming over the next 3 weeks everyone can't wait to get back here.

Great work Daz keep them coming it's lovely to see indeed.

Regards the Flipper, looks decent enough and good price but no balcony is a no go for me .....appreciate your reviews matey 👍👏

i stayed at the Weekend over Christmas and again after new year 2022 year 800 baht a night, checked the flipper out but no balcony, best priced i stayed was Mike beach resort Soi 4, also stayed at the Jomtien Thani. thanks

love your videos mate. can't wait to go back there

Stayed at the tweet tweet , Nice concealed and dark for late day sleep !

Looks newer inside than l thought. But I would expect it to be very noisy at night. But 2nd hotel room with sea view is a great price! Thanks for your hard work doing these vids!

Thanks for mentioning the smoking .have seen this hotel before and wondered so appreciate you showing it .as always a great video and hope these hotels realise the good you do for them .

At the moment , i think LK PRESIDENT 3rd road near soi lengkee , is a super deal too. 1100Bath for huge room , discounts if you stay one week and do some negotations. Worth to visit and make a vlog , many would be intrested . But , "The Weekend" is a very good deal , and near the sea , IT'S A WINNER .. Thanks for updating us , I love this series .

I have not stayed there but I was impressed with the Whitehouse on Sio 13 for 10 days in 2019 great value good rooms cleaned daily and with breakfast for $56 Aussie a night would stay there again when I return hopefully end of the year

Last time in Pattaya stayed in nalanta hotel no pool but a great hotel and has great reviews 24 quid a night deluxe room for two weeks 👍

First one are better for the roof top pool but second have nice view and room are more comfortable, if i had to choice take the second. Nice vlog again thank you ❤️🇹🇭❤️

Great to see more hotels - mid price hotels is in general what I am looking for - however I like my night sleep very much so based on experience then I would still look at soi 10 (stayed at Page 10 before and I loved it) - next time I will try to look at something in the 3rd road area like for instance MAXXcity or MAXXcentral. But really openminded to hear more about options in the area (just a walking distrance from soi Excite/Soi Chayapoon/Lengkee)

Yeaa, ño balcony is a deal breaker.

I enjoy your videos , always plenty on information. I stopped at Flipper Lodge , bit tired but ok . Great staff and breakfast not bad

Breakfast for two. Thats good of them 👍

Fantastic prices thank you very much for posting ❤️❤️🙏🏽

I’ve stayed at the tweet many times and never had a problem. Large modernish rooms and It’s all about the location. Close to beach and all the action.

Thanks for sharing, liked the sea view from the balcony on the second hotel, I take it that one didn't have a pool though? Regards from England 🍺🍺👍

I've stayed in both of them the flipper Lodge was nice stayed there a couple of times

I do like to have a balcony Flipper lodge out but still good premises Daz

I come in Flipper lodge 12,8,2023 soon in hotel very good

My hotel of choice in Pattaya is 'The BJ Holiday Lodge' on soi 3. It is owned by an American guy, and has been for many years, it's kept in immaculate condition, it has a pool, nice restaurant, and the owner 'BJ', actually has a soi in Pattaya named after him, soi BJ of course. 1,200 a night, defo worth a look.

i stayed it the weekend when it was tweet tweet, in that room 56 on the first floor, the rooms are great but the bed which looks to have been improved was rock hard. great place to stay but i think a pool is needed in any place i stay

Hola Daz! I "Liked " the Video.

I like all these hotel videos, especially the mid price ones. I watch them all but always end up staying at the same hotel. Hoping you dont feature it but its always booked out anyway.

Many people go on vacation to get away from the cold. With summer coming will only think about travel when it starts to get cold (winter)

The suite room at the FLIPPER LODGE is excellent for the price!

Great video Daz and two great hotels.can you show the other flipper hotel on soi 7 .flipper house.I stay there most times and really recommend it.i stay in the mini suite or the junior suite very nice and great value.and the great thing about this hotel as all rooms have balcony’s.thanks again and all the best regards damon 👍🏼

Flipper Lodge is centrally located but very loud at night. The food is very good. Look how paranoid the employees at the front desk. So sad their government makes them.

Very pricey for a bad view and no balconies, no gym. Nice rooftop though. 2nd one looks good but no pool or gym so pricey as well

I like flipper lodge great videos they are helping m out I’m coming for 6 months in November I will Greer you out me out a one bedroom condo a round the soi buakhao.many thanks

No pool is a killer for me I stayed in the sibi da lodge beside hotel built like a ship it was great hotel and cheap it did the job I sept at night time and I was out by the pool in daytime I also stayed in the leck&villa hotel it had the best pool I ever seen in a hotel it was hard to get a bath bus to it was a bit out of the way

I have stayed in Flipper Lodge many times back in the 1980's after seeing it again I wouldn't stay there again at that price. Would it be possible for you to show the Sunbeam especially the suite room on the top floor, I last stayed there for 5 months in 1998 when my son was born there. I hope to return to Pattaya in the near future so looking for somewhere to stay. I did like the Areka Lodge that you showed. Thanks. Regards. Glenn.

I am enjoying these. It's looking like 8 months and I can apply for my SSI and start the money flow from my investments and saving's so these do help. because I am going to be spending 6 months each year in Pattaya.

The second one was nice, don't know if I could deal with the purple led lights though, nice view though .

2nd Hotel yes big and a good view why do all Hotels have small TV nice if they were 65 cm indeed

Video covers hotel looks very interesting

Many people won't return to Thailand until the test on arrival is gone. Would rather test at home pre-flight like the Philippines requires

If only the tweet had a swimming pool

Hi daz I used to stay at the lek Hotel and the apex Hotel both on 2nd road. It was a long time ago but they were both good. A d had great all you can eat buffet could you maybe review those and give a price update, thanks

Another great video Daz especially the second hotel, although personally I prefer the budget hotel series.

thanks for the informations, hope to see u can go LK metropole hotel on soi buakhao 🙏🙏

The thing I struggle with on these rooms is price when compared to renting for a month 10-12k per month rented versus 30k ish per month in a hotel. Horses for courses naturally, but 18-20k is a VERY nice evening out (or in). convenience, security and location may well be worth it for many.

Curtains ! Great !! Bar fridge and jugs for hot drinks. Good place along eith its cleanliness. Breakfast for 2 ?? This means they expect you to have a guest overnight ??

For me, the page 10 looked much better.

Soi7/8 was always a preferred area for me, short ride up to the 6 & the same in the opposit direction to LK. Would be interested about a Suite Room in that area.

3rd Hotel: Shower seperate from toilet area. A winner for me.

Can you do flipper house ?, junior suite or mini suite pls

Hello Daz... I've only been to Pattaya once, Thailand twice, due to the effin' C word lol... I've been married to my Thai missus for almost 6 years now, in Thailand and UK officially, and no lol, we didn't meet in a bar, met on POF and my lady lived literally 4 miles away, in Malvern 🤣... Back to my question, sorry long winded, She swears by the Skaw Beach Hotel... is she nuts or are you familiar with this place lol... We stayed there when we visited Pattaya and it was OK lol... would like your thoughts mate, thank you 🙂

Always like your stuff. Just a quick question. Why do you think that going into "crappy, pigeon English" helps your being understood by someone who speaks poor English. And why would any hotel in Pattaya have someone working at the desk who cannot speak reasonable English?

Pattaya is a much nicer vacation spot than bangkok right?

could you review august suit's hotel pattaya clang over the road from lenkees restaurant

The second hotel was really nice , how much monthly?

hi Mate, i been going to Pattaya since 1980, usually 2 x every year for 1 month each time, now in later years i go with family, wife has been many times, we love TQ, seen many changes over the years, now take the kids too, 15 and 18, Pattaya and all of Thailand has something for everyone, ok so usually stay at Hard rock, but have been to many others including flipper, i would like to suggest how about looking for places for a family, 2 bed, like a suite setup, or 2 rooms that join so family's like mine can have 1 room for 2 kids and 1 room for us joined, and of course a pool a nice pool with atmosphere, its hard to beat Hard rock, great pool lots going on, some hotels i been to have a nice pool but no atmosphere nothing happening buildings looking down on you etc, hardrock is great but it gets expensive paying for 2 rooms there, side note any news on when unvaccinated can come back ? we want to but my family is unvaxed, Tony

1st Hotel: shower curtain, jug, bar fridge = comfort.

Hey Daz, another great video mate, I’m guessing there is no joiner fee for either of these hotels am I right?

Haven’t seen any reviews on Maleez Lodge

Can you please ask each hotel if they have smoking in room or on balcony. As they say that on internet it's a no smoking hotel

Hi, thanks for. your informative videos! Checked on Agoda for The Weekend hotel, and on the site, its says Only registered Guests. Does this mean that the hotel isnt guest friendly?

👍

hi sir is 7 days premium hotel opp Beverly guest friendly no extra charges can u pls find it out i wanna book from 14 sept not able to contact them will be very thankful sir

...kind of like the cheap rooms better

Please do some pet friendly hotels and especially condos thank you also are there any bars for gay girls (lesbians) in Pattaya. I

Its wise that you don't smoke as it causes cancer and other health problems.

Why do you speak using only nouns and verbs when speaking with a Thai national who speaks English.

i was hoping you checked out the junior suite i just booked it
