i have stayed at the Baan Buakhao (the first one you visited) about four or five years ago when it was brand new, as the young lady says it's very quiet at night but only a two minute walk to the bars on Soi Buakhao. the security boxes in reception rather than in the rooms are not popular with some people but i think they are far safer, not only are they covered by CCTV but you can add your own padlock for your peace of mind. i have to say, if it was down to the attitude of the staff showing you around then this hotel would win hands down!
Safety boxes behind reception give me the jitters. I'm sure there was a hotel that got all their boxes raided some years ago. Losing your cash, cards and passport doesn't bear thinking about 🙁
Last lady had NO personality. She acted like you were just annoying her. I couldn't stay there and put up with her, even if the rooms were half the price.
Hi Daz. I'm in pattaya now. I originally booked the second hotel you showed in this video then checked reviews and found out that the 7000baht deposit is often not refunded when customers leave. The hotel saying it'll send the money directly to the customers bank account. Which never actually happens. Probably why they show such low prices in the first place 🤔
I like the little laugh Daz adds although a couple of the elite film critics who add little but complaints have sometimes taken exception. These are personal explorations of interesting venues not unlike Anthony Bourdain or many other more famous names in the travel genre. Well done to Daz for taking us on these Pattaya fact-finding vlogs.
When you stay at accomodation thay charges for electricity can you check the metre to keep a track on how much you are using and keep an eye on what its costing you? Especially when they charge more than the government rate. What is usually the average cost per week/month for electricity. I know this is a very broad question. Thanks
The rooms were ok.perfect for a short holiday.my favourite area so well worth thinking about although that third lady may have been having a bad day.thanks for sharing matey.
you should visit hotels in the evening to see how loud is in the room. I usually avoid hotels close to the action to be able to sleep before 6am (sometimes need to sleep)
Thanks for sharing. The third one was really not inviting, with that kind of staff i'd never feel comfortable there. The second one seemd to be the best value/quality, although the first one had the best staff, the woman really was professional would be a pleasure to stay there with that kind of attitude! Sometimes it's not the hotel, but the people, and thank you for giving us this exact insight!
A couple of these hotels looked okay, and cheaper than my default hotel (April Suites; just off the north end of Soi Buakhao). After 2½ years away from Pattaya it will take a lot for me to abandon the April Suites. It's a bit more expensive but I guess when you get older you pay a little extra when you find somewhere you like. Thanks Daz for the videos which are always informative. I am happy when l am notified of new content from you.

Have a look at the corner lodge hotel i am booked for Dec 1 till jan 2 all in 10400 thb about 10 mins walk from LK. Small but nice pool and gym big rooms stayed there many times
Excellent idea! Not everybody wants to stay in $40 + per night. Basically I need is clean own bathroom and aircon.. every Soi between Buakow and Third Rd has plenty of good budget accommodation
Thanks for seeking these out mate. Very helpful for the perspective retiree looking for somewhere to crash for a month or 2 or more whilst they look for something more permanent and not chewing up valuable dollars in the process. 8K a month for the R Con is a bargain. 👍
Great idea Daz, look forward to the next. 1&2 looked decent value. 3 a no go due to lady and no confidence anything would get sorted if you had a problem.
Good info! these are great for short stay of less than a month. You are away from most of the noise, but just a short Baht Bus ride away from the main action.
Hello I have usually stayed in Soi lengkee in guesthouses but I liked the first one you showed in this vlog and will certainly check it out on my next trip over Thank you.
Great again, Daz. Yellow shirt lady - top, top, top - red shirt lady - so,so - mens shirt lady - nogo. Interesting, when I need an additional room next week, I know which one of these hotels to choose.
Great work very enjoyable to watch your channel …first budget hotel i stayed at 7 years ago when i first went to Pattaya was Nicom court on the cross road so soi bukahoo soi Diana soi linkee oppiste the subway
Do you think you can do a video on the LK residence? I booked the one bedroom suite for the month of January. Would really love to see what it looks like in video as opposed to just the pictures lol. Keep up the good work man.
@@pip6136 I did, the only one I found was big fat Besty‘s video from three years ago. I’m staying at the LK residence, not the LK empress not the LK Metropol. None of the other LK’s lol.
I’ve stayed at the second hotel you showed several times in the past. I would never stay there again. They were pulling a scam about 4 year’s ago charging double for the electricity for those staying by the month. Thai girl were shown the electrical bill on Facebook showing the ridiculous prices they were told they had to pay. The hotel used to be a Holiday Inn.
Interesting reception at each Hotel, maybe they got a lot of you tubers come though that day 🙂, I could definitely see myself doing laps in that pool, I mean Koi pond at the 2nd Hotel 🙂
Soi lengkee J@P court very nice hotel very clean nice swimming pool very quite soi and nice staff and big room and cheap and it’s in the action of soi buakhao andLK metro I stay here all the time the blogger all way seems to miss this hotel out it be nice if u could do video on this hotel great streams
Great video , The 1st one looks good especially the Deluxe with the extra room , Is smoking allowed ? , presumably on the balcony .. Thats all i need for a swimming pool something to go in and cool down don't swim lol
great Vid Daz, Some nice pads too, a place that used to be called "Rose Apartment" on Soi 21 is great value too, not far from PP also, keep the good content comming!
Thank you Daz. A great budget hotels tour. They all had balconies, private bathroom/shower big bed. And all G.F These are all viable options. Plus they are all in and around Party central 👍
Enjoying this series. I think I'd prefer to sleep on the beach rather than stay at the VM Terrace!! I like the D chain (Hotel, Express, Apartment 1 & 2) at that end of Buakhao. All decent and in the 500-800 baht range.
i used to always stay at D apartment going back before they made the big addition. But last trip in 2019 the old lady and staff were just rude for some reason so I went around the corner and stayed 3 more weeks at D Hotel. That was pretty good. Both had rooftop pools. D Apartment pool is the nicer of the two as far as presentation. I loved the location as it is an easy walk down to second road, or over to Pattaya Klang.
several years ago I stayed at the little guest house right next to that, hole in one I think it was. Comfortable room and bed and all that i needed. Very nice girls running the place. In back was the Vogue and the darn thing was only 1/2 full. I could tell because the room lights were often dark. I walked over to see about using their swimming pool for a daily usage fee. I asked about price of a room and said could not stay! Apparently at the time they had or they keep the rooms all reserved or open for Russian groups only. Also just about every night there was loud loud music playing up on the roof as some party or private party is held every night. I mean boom boom window shaking noise. Maybe it has changed since
yeah. one can live or maybe call it exist in Thailand pretty cheaply if one is willing to compromise a bit. Bear in mind that while not 5 star rooms, you probably would be living better than 50 % of how people around the world live
I think you should check Noi's flop house and bada-bing-bada-boomboom rooms. Might be more interesting than run of the mill cement box rooms. And if they open again, Penthouse Hotel (I saw Niklas mentioned it) which looks quite entertaining.
All three hotels looked like the kind of place where you'd stay for one or two nights, while you looked for something better. And when I say better......I mean much MUCH better. I couldn't imagine staying in any of them for a two week holiday.
Hi. Thank you for your video. It is nice to see some hôtel not expensive. Sometime cheaper than condominium, and Electric includ for 13 000 /mounth.in centrum pattaya not jomtien.
The second hotel looked like it would be a great place to stay 14 or 28 days. How close is it to the night activity ?? Bars, beer, go-go etc ?? I look forward to seeing your further videos of more hotels in this area. What are the chances of presenting other hotels on beach road if any or close by ?? Keep presenting these places of accommodation.
I've seen enough of your videos to realize she was indeed good at her job. Very friendly and not going through the motions.
i have stayed at the Baan Buakhao (the first one you visited) about four or five years ago when it was brand new, as the young lady says it's very quiet at night but only a two minute walk to the bars on Soi Buakhao. the security boxes in reception rather than in the rooms are not popular with some people but i think they are far safer, not only are they covered by CCTV but you can add your own padlock for your peace of mind. i have to say, if it was down to the attitude of the staff showing you around then this hotel would win hands down!
Safety boxes behind reception give me the jitters. I'm sure there was a hotel that got all their boxes raided some years ago. Losing your cash, cards and passport doesn't bear thinking about 🙁
No thanks, u should have the safety box at room, there no excuse for them not too.
@@TakashiNippon Those safety boxes have a master code that every staff member knows plus a key. More convenient but a false sense of security
I like that you complimented the lady at the first hotel. She was good at her job! So are you! Thanks for the videos!
Thank you too!
Please continue showing more budget hotels in the Soi Buakhao area
Or budget condos overthere with pool 🙏🏿
Last lady had NO personality. She acted like you were just annoying her. I couldn't stay there and put up with her, even if the rooms were half the price.
Maybe last utuber locked her in the wardrobe we didn’t see? 555
I came just to say this!!!!

The Nest @ Soi Diana (off Buakao) a great choice for budget rooms...and the restaurant downstairs good food!
Yep, the first one is the best. Probably because of what you said about the young lady, she's very good at her job.
you should visit hotels in the evening to see how loud is in the room. I usually avoid hotels close to the action to be able to sleep before 6am (sometimes need to sleep)

Great prices, location and all sparkling clean. Fantastic
Yes I like this series. Keep it going.
Very useful video. I was always looking for a room for under 500 bhat a night.
Decent value there, Daz. I think if staying for a month I'd need something a bit more swish, like your mates condo rental behind The Avenue.
Good info! these are great for short stay of less than a month. You are away from most of the noise, but just a short Baht Bus ride away from the main action.
Great series Daz!! Keep up the great work
Thanks for taking the time to do this , the 3rd place didn`t look renovated , also gotta wonder if the elevator works
Thank you for this video. This is what I have in mind for my next visit.
Thank you for sharing all those info! Hope you do a review on LK Mansion hotel in Soi Buakhao. Stayed there a few times.
It’s a brilliant idea, we are interested, and enjoy watching your videos.

Great information. Seems like prices are going up.
First one for me, only downside are the safety deposit boxes being in reception.
Looking forward to upcoming vlog good reliable imfo mate

Have you taken a look down second road yet? Has maytara on Soi 11 fixed the WiFi problems yet was a nightmare last time

I stayed at Vogue hotel on soi Lengkee last month. It is a little under 600b per night and looks far nicer than the first 3.
several years ago I stayed at the little guest house right next to that, hole in one I think it was. Comfortable room and bed and all that i needed. Very nice girls running the place.

It was quiet while I was there. It was also quiet 3 years ago when I stayed there but was more expensive then.
Check out the newly renovated Night&Day (backside of tukcom) very low prices on food as well
Thanks for share, 2nd hotel looks have better location, it near fruit market & night market.
It's a great idea!
Thanks for the info Dax…
2nd hotel is good option…👍
Hi daz. Have you done a review of the golden sea Pattaya hotel on soi bukow
Are they all in water and electric included if you stay monthly daz. If so that's better than renting on a condo. No agent fees.
Have a look at Chang Tong House in Soi Diana up the Soi Buakhao end. I stayed there years ago many times it was great and budget friendly.
That last lady though. Wow.
Thank you 👍👍
Cost of one of those hotels is cheaper then the daily cost of heating in the UK. The £400 government electric subsidy would go towards one's airfare
So that second one was about $220 USD/month??? That's just bananas. In this economy, spending 200 bucks in the states is just an appetizer.
yeah. one can live or maybe call it exist in Thailand pretty cheaply if one is willing to compromise a bit. Bear in mind that while not 5 star rooms, you probably would be living better than 50 % of how people around the world live
What was the name of the first hotel, you didn't mention it and nor could i see it written anywhere in the video??
Great video.When you have time,you can make video of Vogue hotel,Soi Lengkee.On Agoda about 550 baht a night.In 2 weeks I stay here for 1 week again.

Most important thing to know is how quite it is at night.
Good video. There is a hotel called Kull it looks interesting and very reasonably priced. Maybe you could see it? Thanks.
I think you should check Noi's flop house and bada-bing-bada-boomboom rooms. Might be more interesting than run of the mill cement box rooms. And if they open again, Penthouse Hotel (I saw Niklas mentioned it) which looks quite entertaining.
love the deluxe.
Great video and very helpful, but the prices are not real clear
2nd hotel, R con siam if you read the reviews get ripped of on electric and fails to return deposit.......

And when I say better......I mean much MUCH better.

I always stay in this area, some good bargains to be found if you don't expect the Ritz. Three must haves, a safety box, free wifi and a fridge.

You have taxi in Soi Buakhow to go to LK metro , and walking street for 10 baht not far from the hotel Air con Siam.
