Pattaya is a city with manifold personalities. For some it is a place to learn about Thai culture, for many it is a shopping paradise, for families it offers a host of activities that everybody can enjoy and for a millions of single men, it's a nightclub centre and a place to meet some of Thailand's most beautiful women.
You can meet Thai girls at bars, go-go bars, at the beach or just about everywhere in this friendly town. The interrogate that guys often ask is where do I find a guest friendly hotel. If I want to request my new friend back to my hotel, does the hotel welcome an extra guest, is it "girl friendly" or will I be charged a "joiner fee"?
5 Star Hotels
While many population think of Pattaya as Asia's most vibrant nightlife centre, this is just one part of the tourist activities in Pattaya. Judging by hotel bookings, the lion's share of hotel revenue is from older couples and families. Hotels target their enterprise at one or more of these tourist groups, so you'll find that the 5 star hotels and house oriented hotels like the larger resort hotels are ordinarily not guest friendly. There's one celebrated exception, Pattaya's top rated hotel, the Rabbit Resort on Dongtan beach offers hospitality to all visitors, together with their friends.
Walking street Hotels
If you're finding for a guest friendly hotel you'll find that virtually all of the hotels, guesthouses and apartments close to the night life areas are guest friendly. In the Walking street area you'll find a good choice of popular and very rated hotels.
On Soi Diamond, the street with more than a dozen go-go bars, there's diamond Beach Hotel, Galaxy Suites and Green View Serviced Apartments. Just colse to on Soi 14, there's the Grand Hotel, with 80 rooms in a choice of styles, and Jasmine Hotel with 62 rooms, recently refurnished and a new indoor swimming pool, one of the highest rated Pattaya hotels on Trip Advisor. On Walking street itself, there's the Walking street Guesthouse just above Sweethearts Go-Go and P.72 Hotel, with the street level bar that opens onto Walking Street. A great place to sit and watch the activities on Walking street before going out for the evening.
Soi Buakhao Area Hotels
The Soi Buakhao area is another popular nightclub area. Here you'll find an animated mix of guest friendly hotels and guesthouses for visitors and apartments for Thais who work in the nightclubs and bars.
On Soi Buakhao itself, you'll find Katesiree House, Laguna Buakhao House with Thai style furniture, Target Regency Guesthouse, and Rabbi's Elephant Guesthouse which is also a meeting place for the Pattaya Golf Society.
Just off Soi Buakhao on Soi Lk Metro mingled with the go-go bars, coyote bars and beer bars you find a bunch of guest-friendly hotels and guesthouses. If you like to hang out with aliens you'll love Armageddon Guesthouse and Bar, and there's Irish Rovers Guesthouse and Kilkenny Hotel with an Irish flavour. Close by you'll find the popular Stags Head Guesthouse, and in the projection of the street, there's Pasadena Lodge with a choice of 20 beautifully furnished rooms, in 4 separate room styles.
Just across the road there's Soi Chaiyapoon, celebrated for Crazy Daves café that serves breakfast 24 hours/day and Neeroys late night bistro that offers fish 'n chips and English style curries. Guest friendly guesthouses don't get much friendlier than Canterbury Tales Café that has a bookstore and bistro on the ground floor. Just supplementary down the street, near the popular Maggie May's bar there's Chaiyapoon Inn & Restaurant.
