Thai villas
Review Submitted: September 9, 2008
Date of Stay: August 2008
The villa was lovely, clean and well equipped. The communal pool was clean and usually empty until late afternoon.It had guards on the gates and 'Ing' was there to assist our needs and was pretty efficient...she also arranged our overnight trip which included the bangkok train market, Bridge over the river Kwai, Floating market, Elephant ride and overnight on the floating hotel, war museum and memorials, wooden carving place...this is a must (brilliant!!) cost approx £60 each)
The people are really friendly and very helpful in all the bars, shops etc in Thailand, we always felt safe!
In Pattaya we went to mini golf pub which was a bit run down, but fun. The tropical gardens which had thai culture show and an elephant show, you can feed the elephants and it has fab gardens (worth a visit). A cocodile farm - a man puts his arm & head in a crocs mouth - not my thing unfortunately! A boat on the sea (at the pier a small boat takes you out to eat at the boat) expensive for thailand but a real treat!
Meals are approx £6 per head for a western meal or £3 per head for thai meals with drinks. Very cheap and very tasty!
You could get them much cheaper or dearer if you wanted- but these were nice looking places by the sea front.
There is a free car to drive, but in thailand there seem to be no rules and lots of scooters with whole families riding on them, coming at you from all angles...we however saw no accidents and the drivers seemed calm and werent full of road rage and pipping horns like in other countries I've been to, including Uk.
There is of course walking street (the red light district) - a real eye opener and what appears to be a place older men seem to go to in Thailand.
The markets are worth a look around and you can buy cheap designer wear - but you must try a thai foot massage!!! about £1.50 for 1/2 an hour on the market.
There are also temples & Budhas to see, Lakes, boat trips, water park, sea sports and a mini village.
Pattaya isnt a beautiful place, but it has a lot to offer for a fun holiday with lovely beaches and cheap food and entertainment.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!

Owner's Response: You know even after all these years Nom and I always get excited when we receive a review like this. That is exactly what we are all about, five star service and ensuring you have a terrific time. As stated on many occassion Pattaya and Jomtien have virtually everything you would want from a holiday and more important the Thai's are such warm hearted and beautiful people. Thanks for the review lets hope in the future many of you that read this review will enjoy the same experiance.
Paul & Nom
