Hi
Sunshine Hotel in an excellent location, as already mentioned. I`ve not stayed there, the new wing looks good from the outside. As well as the nearby Sailor bar for decent value food, you have plenty of other choices nearby. One that is also quite good for the money is " Seaside Restaurant ", which is in a little cut through between soi 7 & soi 8, next to " Globetrotter Hotel and Restaurant " About 2 minutes walk from where you will be staying. 24 hour restaurant also within 2 minutes walk, turn out of your hotel on to soi 8, walking away from the Beach and you will see 2 restaurants on the other side of what is known as 2nd Road. The one on the left is open 24 hours, mix of Thai and Western type food. Plenty of nearby food choices, as already mentioned. I am generally in that local area very late on Friday and Saturday nights, happy to meet up for a beer and chat if you want. Usually at one of several bars nearby that have live music playing if of any interest. |

I will be in town on Aug 14th, I'd be happy to meet up for a drink or two. Off-hand, what do they consider Drinking Street? As if they aren't all drinking streets. Caught wind of a place that looked like it had some good pool tables and a decent place to eat across the way.

Thanks, I`ll send you a PM or post here nearer the time to arrange a meet up. There is a " Drinking Street " in north Pattaya. To get there from where you will be staying, exit your hotel, walk up soi 8 away from the beach, when you get to 2nd Road( 20 seconds from your hotel) catch a bahtbus. It should go straight across the next set of traffic lights, if it turns left( a very few do ) you need to jump off and start again. Or you can walk across the set of lights and catch one there( 2 minutes walk if that from your hotel) After about 5 minutes( on bahtbus) you should notice on your right, the " Drinking Street " sign, it is a short way after " Big C" shopping centre, also on your right, i.e just keep looking to your right. Very near " JJ Market " massive signage for that. 2nd Road is one way, if before you see Drinking Street, the bahtbus turns left( again unlikely) get off. If you get to a roundabout, you`ve gone too far, get off, walk against the traffic and in less than 5 minutes you will be at Drinking Street I hope that is not too confusing, in reality it is very easy, just hard to describe. or you can get a motorbike taxi, maybe 30 baht at a guess Drinking Street has approx 20 bars or so, a few places for food and as you have said quite a few pool tables. Some like it, others don`t. I`ve been a few times, found it to be OK, although haven`t been for a while. There`s a handful of other bars within easy walking distance. 5 minutes on bahtbus from your hotel, worth taking a look if the sound of it appeals. |
