I just returned from an almost weekend in Pattaya. My usual choice of accommodation, Tui's, was yet again full, so he suggested I stay in the refurbished Sugar Palm Beach Hotel (or some such name) -- the one facing the beach on the walk from the 7-11 to the gay area. Now renamed something forgettable like "B House". If you are considering staying in the Jomtien area, just be reminded that a fresh coat of paint in the lobby does not a renovation make. Overpriced, charmless (hostile?) staff... with annoying pay in advance policy and an extra charge for in-room wifi despite an 1100B night price tag.
I, too, visited New Sawasdee Boys and endorse the previous poster's opinion except that I might put it more strongly and recommend the exercise of some caution if you decide to visit the place. Understood?
