If you have already visited Thailand, you may have heard about Pattaya City. It is the major city of Chonburi province. It is one of the most popular destinations of the eastern part of Thailand. Each year, Pattaya gets quite a number of tourists and is considered to be the tourism hub of the eastern region. The very beautiful, cozy beaches and the variety of nightlife and activities makes it a very enjoyable place to stay. Because of this, the hotel industry in Pattaya has become a foremost part of the economy and it is the most profitable business in the city.

There never seem to be enough hotels in Pattaya, even though there are increasing numbers of tourists. In Pattaya there is quite a variety of hotels, which differ in size and style, from very cheap guest houses to very expensive and luxurious hotels, and so you have to consider carefully which one to choose.

However, there are some basic guidelines for you to help you choose where to stay from amongst the different types of hotels. This is useful because price is not the only key indicator in deciding whether a hotel is good or not. You have to consider other factors like location, services, facilities, and other factors.

As for the location, if you only want to stay at a simple and cheap guesthouse, you may not have to worry too much about the location of the hotel because in Pattaya, there are small guesthouses everywhere, from close to the beaches to the central market. The price ranges are only 10-20 USD per night. However, you have to be a little bit careful if you want to stay in a guesthouse, because some guesthouses are located in areas that are not easily accessible, such as very narrow streets that are not easily accessible by public transportation.

If you are considering staying in a luxury five star hotel, it is really important to consider the hotel's location. This is because when you have to pay for such an expensive room, you naturally expect great service and comfort. Paying a high room rate for a five star hotel located in the city centre may not be worth the money. Try to look for a hotel that is located by the beach, or even one that has its own private beach, as this would be more ideal.

However, no matter which type of hotel you are looking for, you have to be sure that you can get the best deal on the hotel price. This is because there are so many travel agents who claim to be offering the best deal in terms of price. Even though there are millions of websites where you can find cheap prices, just try to search for the Pattaya local travel agents first. This is because from my experience, there are a lot of them that can offer prices much cheaper than the standard internet rate.

Finally, just enjoy your stay and your trip. The more information you get from research, the more enjoyable your trip will be, particularly if you choose Pattaya, the city that never sleeps with its superb calm beaches and environment.
