Hotel in Pattaya
 

I want to stay in Pattaya with a Thai friend who is gay but dont want to stay in a "gay-area" or a pure gay-hotel. I only know hotels in These areas (Boystown, Pattaya, Jomtien). Can anyone tell me about a "normal" hotel where a western man can stay with a younger Thai guy or where the western man can bring a Thai "joiner" free to his room

Excelent location but looks very basic and a bit run-down on the web-site. Will try to get some more information from them.
Any other suggestions (in South Pattaya and not too far away from "actions")

Mike's hotel - pattaya ...
 

-- Khun RoNo,

- The decor in the main & public area is, I'm told, traditional Thai - ie. dark & heavy;
- When I was there - approx. one yr. ago - refurbishment of guests' room was proceeding from the 5th. fl. downwards;
- In the guests' rooms beds are generally queen-sized, with bed-linens & towels being changed daily; in the bathrooms soap, shampoo, hair-conditioner are provided;
- There is also a small & outdoors' swimming pool;
- By the pool and on most floors there are sel'ns. of books for guests to read - mainly English but also French & German;
- Not sure about there being in-rooms' Wi-Fi.?

-- But agreed with you, for yr. purposes it has both loc'n. and being gay-friendly in its favor; it is clean, adequately comfortable and basic acceptable.

You might want to look at Dusit X2.

Thanks a lot sextile and icon513. Both suggestions are interesting (even if Mikes with wall-to-wall carpets in the room is a bit off :-) )
Have checked amny other hotels in South Pattaya which looks good on their web-sites (e.g. Beverly Plaza, right opposite Mike´s) but when Reading visitors reports they all seem to be over-crowded with indian and middle east-visitors. I know many very nice people from these areas but those of them going to Pattaya seems to have a kind of "different" hotel-culture :-S
Maybe Mike´s and Dusit cater to a more western or Asian clientele

Hmmm... Forgot to ask; Is Dusit X2 same as Dusit Thani (in North Pattaya)?
Google dont recognize Dusit X2

Sorry, looks like the place has had a name change.

This is it:


Hotel Baraquda Pattaya (Thailand) - Hotel Reviews - TripAdvisor

[quote=icon513;689285]"Sorry, looks like the place has had a name change."

no, Dusit Thani is the large 5 star hotel right at the N end of the beach.

Dusit X2 is a trendy new hotel in walking distance to Boystown on 2nd Road . A good choice. (I've stayed at the Chiang Mai version of this hotel.)

[quote=biggles69;689293] There was a name change from Dusit D2. Not X2. My bad. I am definitely not talking about the Dusit Resort in N. Pattaya.

stayed at Miracle Suites last week, got a good rate on Agoda, breakfasts are good and rooms big and modern

I always stay at INNPLACE hotel pattaya, its in Soi 6 nice, clean, quiet rooms are excellent with coffee making facilities, TV, safe, excellent free wifi. Never had any problem with visitors.

Dusit D2 is now Baraquda Hotel Pattaya
 

I always stay at this hotel although it is now 5 or more years old and shows it. But the prices are cheap and the service is excellent. They are very gay friendly and it is very conveniently located to Boyztown.

Yes, that's the one I meant.
