📍 437 Phra Tamnak Road, Pattaya

"First time in Pattaya, and maybe I didn't pick the right hotel. This InterContinental is really old; all the facilities are quite dated. Plus, the service at the front desk was really mediocre.

Palette La route Residence Pattaya ★★★

📍 290 Sukhumvit Rd, Amphoe Bang Lamung, Pattaya

"The room facilities are very good and everything is complete. It should be newly renovated and looks quite new. But the most important thing is that it's so rubbish. The sound insulation is so bad that I couldn't sleep at all. There were the sounds of cars and motorcycles on the roadside, and there seemed to be some equipment buzzing on the roof all night long. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. It's not worth the 50 yuan just for this problem. The most important sleeping function is gone! ! !"

"✨A great place to stay with a wonderful atmosphere — perfect for a relaxing getaway and definitely not to be missed! The hotel is a low-rise property surrounded by lush greenery, which makes the environment feel very calm and refreshing. We stayed on the 3rd floor, not far from the elevator. It was very quiet and comfortable for resting. The bed was large and very comfortable, and the room was fully equipped with all the necessary amenities. The hotel itself is beautiful with several areas where you can sit and relax. The swimming pool was not crowded, which made it even more enjoyable. Breakfast offered a great variety of delicious food and was definitely worth it, just like many reviews mentioned. The shrimp were very large and tasty. Overall, it was great value for money and perfect for a relaxing stay. I would definitely come back again if I have the chance. The hotel also prepared a surprise birthday cake for my partner, which was such a lovely and thoughtful gesture. We really appreciate the hotel for making our stay even more special."

The Base Prime - Pattaya Beach Hotels in Pattaya

The Base Prime - Pattaya Beach

"The security guards at the community entrance are very responsible; they thoroughly check every person or vehicle entering. It seems there are many different property management units within the community. You can instantly contact the owners by adding them on WeChat or calling their direct phone numbers. They will arrange for staff to come to the entrance to pick you up, usually within about ten minutes. Your passport photocopy will be scanned and printed in the security office. The community is very quiet. Unfortunately, the rooftop pool was under renovation due to the off-peak season, otherwise I would have loved to try it out. There's an umbrella provided in the bedroom, and all basic amenities are complete. The value for money is pretty good. I imagine the experience would be even better if it were a sea-view room. It would have been helpful if there were instructions for the water heater in the bathroom. If I have another chance to visit Pattaya, I would consider staying here again."

Crystal Palace Luxury Hotel Pattaya Hotels in Pattaya

Crystal Palace Luxury Hotel Pattaya

"The hotel is relatively close to the Sanctuary of Truth, about 1.x kilometers away. However, it's quite far from Terminal 21 and the bustling beach area. The upside is that there are various restaurants and massage parlors along the way. The downside is that you'll need to rely on songthaews for all your transportation, and during the May Day holiday, with many Thais also on vacation, the roads were extremely congested. My advice is to prioritize places closer to Terminal 21 for easier access. The air conditioning in the room blew very cold. Even though it was directed towards the window, the cold air bounced back to the head of the bed, and the bed faced a mirror... I woke up feeling cold in the morning because the air blew all night. Turning it up made it too hot, and turning it down just increased the fan speed, making it cold again. The AC filter was extremely dirty, covered in a layer of dust, and the bathroom exhaust fan was the same. It felt unhealthy. It seems like they host a lot of tour groups. A 1000 baht deposit is required, and they'll give you a receipt. Make sure to proactively present the receipt when checking out to get your deposit back, as the front desk won't remind you... speechless... Breakfast was decent for a couple of days, but eating it more than that would get repetitive."

"We spent 2 nights here during the long weekend in the beginning of May. Our choice was a premium one bedroom with sea view. The sea view from the room is very beautiful. Since it is the long weekend, the hotel was full booked, the breakfast service, which was packed in case with every room price, was very crowded. You may have to set yourself in not peak time slot to avoid of that. Around the hotel, there was a night market where you can find some snacks and fruits."

Pattaya Travel Guide: Best Places to Stay and Top Things to Do

Pattaya is like a vibrant dance-party queen. You can stay here very long never worrying about running out of fun things to do. The Pattaya Beach offers water sports, beachside cafes, and a lively atmosphere. Jomtien Beach, just a short distance away, provides a more relaxed setting for sunbathing and swimming. The Sanctuary of Truth, a stunning wooden structure, showcases intricate carvings and traditional Thai architecture.

And lucky for you guys! American tourists can visit Pattaya without a visa for up to 30 days with a valid passport and proof of onward travel.

Pattaya tour guide

Getting to and around Pattaya

Most American travelers visiting Pattaya prefer flying into Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) in Bangkok rather than U-Tapao Rayong Pattaya International Airport (UTP). BKK handles a significantly higher volume of international flights, including many from the U.S.. From BKK, Pattaya is about a 1.5-2 hour drive, making it an accessible option with frequent shuttle buses, taxis, and private transfers available.

On the other hand, UTP is much closer to Pattaya (about 19 miles), but it caters primarily to regional and domestic flights, making it less popular among American travelers unless you’re already in Southeast Asia.

For American travelers heading to Pattaya from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), here are four popular transportation options:

Private Transfer: For a comfortable and hassle-free journey, you can book a private transfer through Trip.com, with prices starting at around $58.90.

Airport Bus: The Bell Travel Service offers an affordable and efficient bus ride from BKK to Pattaya. Buses depart from the airport every hour, and the trip takes about 2 hours. The ticket price is typically around 130-200 THB ($4-6).

Ride-Sharing Apps: For more flexibility, you can use ride-sharing apps like Grab and Bolt. Both apps are widely used in Thailand and allow you to book rides directly from the airport to Pattaya.

Car Rentals: For ultimate freedom, rent a car and get around Thai at your own pace. Cruise along scenic coastal roads and discover hidden gems off the beaten path. The lowest price of BKK Car Rental on Trip.com is from $23.83.
