Where I stayed:
Royal Cliff Beach Hotel
What I did:
- Chilled on the private beach
- Ate wonderful tapas at Don Pepe’s
- Explored the walking street… Perhaps not the place for couples to go.
- Had a gorgeous evening at Oxygen Beach Club
Thoughts on the place:
Pattaya often gets a rep as being pretty seedy. That’s not particularly fair. The Walking Street shouldn’t entirely define what is actually a very lovely city by the sea. If you want seedy, you’ll find it but in this place you can also find incredibly pretty beaches that aren’t rammed full of people.
The hotel was delightful with a great sea view and it’s own private beach. One of the best places I’ve stayed.
Tips:
Stay in South Pattaya near Jomtien or anywhere on the cliff for a genuinely beautiful view and phenomenal vibe
Spend your time away from the city centre to see what the city is really like
Oh and keep your eyes open on the walking street…
