Second hotel definitely better , the bathroom was nicer , a quieter location and a great price too especially for New year . Happy New Year 🎉🎉 and see you next year or tomorrow 😅 .
Looks like a blessing in disguise there mate Naklua has some nice restaurants as well when we go we always stay at Chabi Hut Resort just down the road on Soi Buakhao . Have a great night and a happy new year and keep the videos come Beep Beep
Good Afternoon Geoff. I know that you had to move out of your hotel, but this hotel you are now staying in are far Greater. What a really Wonderful and Comfortable Modern room you are now staying in. Lovely and roomy, Gorgeous Kingsize Bed to sleep in and Re-couperate ones self. What a Superb balcony to admire the view, and what a view. I would score this Hotel and it's very Lovely Decor 10++/10. Geoff, i would Love to Wish You my Friend a very Happy New Year to You. May 2024 be Your Special year, You follow your path and all of your Dreams and Positive Goals come true for you my Friend. I Salute You. Jonathan.
i stayed a couple of nights way back in 2004 i think. Sawasdee had several hotels in pattaya and back then and this was their flagship hotel at the time was a great location but so many new bars around it now and i,m a little older, prefer to be a street or 2 away from the main late night bars now, cheers
Just a suggestion geezer that when you vlog around a place show the place more than have it on you and talking to the camera when walking about . You seem a friendly guy so take care and good luck .
Geoff....you are the first Thailand vloger...i saw your videos you posted 15years ago.. I started following Thailand youtubers back in 2020 during C time. But you did Thailand videos 15 years ago....🙏🙏🙏🙏 really awesome to find your channel.
I stayed at Sawadee Siam in 2016 and watched them from my room start the foundations of the first version Tree town. I had booked 2 weeks but checked out after a few days into the Adelphi 😅, even my guests thought it was rough 😂. Happy New year!
I stayed there about 15 years ago booked for a few days didn’t even stay 1 night the hotel is a complete s# hit hole worst hotel I ever stayed in Pattaya
hi, Geoff , stayed at Siam many times over the years, basic room before covid were around 600 or less high season, many basic rooms only had a mattress on the floor, (no bed as such) when i questioned it they told me it was based on a Japanese preference hahaha,,, believe that or not! and as an older person it was hard to get out of bed as only a few inches off the floor,,,, , rooms are not just dated but shabby i found ,, but you sometimes only get what you pay for!! happy new year too you !
Better off there Geoff than ya last place mate ,plus you’ve got a balcony which is a must I think to relax at night and watch the world go by , BEEP BEEP ,
Happy new year Geoff, I stayed at Sawasdee Siam in March last year, it was really cheap, as you say nice pool, nice staff and central location but the noise from Tree Town was too much for me, it's like there is a band in the room with you. I was happy to shift a few days early to somewhere quieter. The new hotel looks great.
Stayed there in January 2023, in a good location I was at the front, a few large whiskys and I was asleep lol, try the in town Hotel soi Honey was OK roof top pool, and little coffee shop at the side, enjoy stay safe beep beep, All the best for the NEW YEAR 🎉🎉 🍻🍻
only happened to me once in cos .after 30 minuets panic i bumped into a bar owner i had spent a good few nights there anyway his mother had an appartmen that she would rent out at half the price of the hotell so sorted. the new place looks good Geoff enjoy the rest of your holliday.
Great stuff. That new Hotel looks like a huge improvement. I like being near the action, but don't like noise.... I am over in 2 weeks, and I was looking that end of town as the hotels are posher for the same money!👍 Since you are that end of town, you could check out Wong Amat Beach which is supposed to be very nice...
Sorry you got Kicked out mate but its great to see that the place is back to normal. after covid and not like all the dooms days said it was going to be. happy new year and keep smiling. beep beep lolololololol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I stayed at the Sawadee 9 years ago,and it was a sithole. Toilet not cleaned, wardrobe door hanging off,Air conn was a floor standing unit and bloody noisy. 80% full of Russians,Breakfast cleaned out by them,no more food available.Out dated totally then,much the same now by the comment from you. I moved out and went Opey de place on Lengkee. And I successfully claimed my Money back from the company I booked with.
Hi Geoff, Good move to change hotels (even though you had to). The 2nd hotel looks so much nicer. Did you know that Thai locals in Pattaya call the Sawasdee Siam Hotel (Rong Raem Pii?) or Ghost Hotel? That's because so many foreigners sadly "checked out" permanently there!!! Sawasdee Pee Mai!
Wow used to stop there in 90s when I was skint 200/300 a night, looks just the same not had a refurb in 30 years.Long before tree town there was a bar complex known as the cowshed Pook had the 1st bar on the left in it.
If you're staying in one place/city longer than 2 weeks look at airbnb mate. You can get a small apartment for £400 maybe cheaper for one month in Pattaya. but because you're in Pattaya you maybe able to arrange to view the apartment before paying for anything. that's what I would do. You can only ask. Booking hotels at this time of year for a few days at a time will cost you a lot more money. Much better hotel and will be more peaceful. Hope you enjoy your stay. Happy New Year Geoff all the very best x
Your right about the noise my last stay they turned music off at 2pm that's when i finally got to sleep so will be looking outside the party areas from now on, 4pm would be a nightmare. Moral if looking for accommodation do not stay in the party zone.
Just stumbled on your channel and I’m thinking Ive heard that voice before 🤔 then it came to me, you were sitting behind me in the hungry hippo soi buakhao about the time you did this video. My mate had to book a hotel as his girl had thrown him out of her condo and it was that one you’ve stayed in (blue one) I’m sorrry but I couldn’t stay in that hotel when I went to his room and seen how basic it was, his air con didn’t work and just a mattress on the floor.. definitely recommend using the bolt app for the taxi and bike taxis. I’ll check out your vids now I’ve stumbled on it.
We stayed at the Siam Sawasdee in early 2000 . The only difference since then is a Lick of Paint & a new Air con. Noisy. Would be even worse nowdays with Tree Town there. And the beds are as hard as a Cat's Head. Better Breakfasts on Soi Buakhow. The Old Purple Palace . But the Pool was good. And all of the girls in Soi Honey were all shouting out , hello sexyman when you were in the Pool .
looked at the first hotel before and found it lacking cleanliness although it has been completely refurbished since then (it used to be painted purple if you remember) the new place looks far better Geoff Happy new year to you mate, and good luck for 2024
Happy New Year Geoff! I stayed in north Naklua many years ago at a nice place called the Yellow Moon. It was a long distance from beach road, and I'd take the baht bus south for the 5 days I was up there. I always check out new hotels and stay at a few familiar ones too when I'm back in town. You can find some real gems! I've booked hotels for late Jan - Feb. Cheers!
Hey Geoff I think that they have done you a favour. This hotel is way better than the other one. So lovely and fresh looking xxx
Second hotel definitely better , the bathroom was nicer , a quieter location and a great price too especially for New year . Happy New Year 🎉🎉 and see you next year or tomorrow 😅 .
Much better hotel now! Lovely whit a balcony
Hope the area outside is good to
Happy new year 🎉🌟💕
Looks like a blessing in disguise there mate Naklua has some nice restaurants as well when we go we always stay at Chabi Hut Resort just down the road on Soi Buakhao . Have a great night and a happy new year and keep the videos come Beep Beep

Great video Geoff as always. Far, Far superior hotel in Naklua by the looks of it
Both nice places. I usually prefer to stay much cheaper. I like to find places closer to 40 USD per night. That way my Chang budget is a lot higher.
Happy New Year Geoff & thank you for all your videos
Nice one Geoff, great content 👍

Happy New Year Geoff. Love watching your videos :)
Hi Geoff,
Good move to change hotels (even though you had to). The 2nd hotel looks so much nicer.
Did you know that Thai locals in Pattaya call the Sawasdee Siam Hotel (Rong Raem Pii?) or Ghost Hotel? That's because so many foreigners sadly "checked out" permanently there!!!
Sawasdee Pee Mai!
Dont they know who you are.. RUclips Icon !! Love your videos.. Happy New Year to you.. Beep Beep. Keep smiling 🎉😀
The 2nd hotel looks really nice! It's NY Day for you shortly, enjoy! beep-beep
That hotel was a sh!thole 20 years ago, nevermind today...
Wow used to stop there in 90s when I was skint 200/300 a night, looks just the same not had a refurb in 30 years.Long before tree town there was a bar complex known as the cowshed Pook had the 1st bar on the left in it.
Much nicer Hotel & Location.
Fantastic 🤭👍👍👍
Happy New Year! Great vlog!

Happy 🎉New Years Geoff 👍

Staff are fantastic
Hi Geoff Happy New Year. Love your channel. Have a great 2024. 🍺🍺😎
Just stumbled on your channel and I’m thinking Ive heard that voice before 🤔 then it came to me, you were sitting behind me in the hungry hippo soi buakhao about the time you did this video.

definitely recommend using the bolt app for the taxi and bike taxis.
I’ll check out your vids now I’ve stumbled on it.
Same thing happened to me. Had to leave Pattaya center and found a room in Jomtien for 1700. Decent hotel but moving for such a short time was a pain
Happy new year Geoff mate
