Markland Hotel Pattaya Beach Road

Markland

Markland Hotel Pattaya Beach Road

Markland Hotel Pattaya Beach Road is in the very best location in Pattaya, I should know because I live there. The 27 floor building has 4 floors of hotel, all the other floors are condominiums.

Opposite the beach

Located on Beach Rd just 10 Baht on the bus to get to Walking St. 🙂

Two bedroom apartment

Most of the hotel rooms are studios however there are some terrific two bedroom apartments with views to die for.

Best view in Pattaya

However you must be on the south side to see this magnificent view of Pattaya.

Studio apartment 45 square meters

The south side has the better view.

That is the Holiday Inn next door.

Pool at Markland Hotel Pattaya Beach Road

There always seems to be a nice breeze around the pool.

Holiday Inn

Holiday Inn is next door to Markland.

Holiday Inn

Half price pizza at Holiday Inn Tuesday night and 2 for 1 drinks between 5 & 7 pm.

Amari, Holiday Inn & Markland.

A great location on Beach Road, and much quieter than South Pattaya.

Mezzo coffee at Markland now closed

Very good coffee shop on the ground floor of Markland and Tops supermarket is in the basement.

The Coffee Club has replaced Mezzo.

I am going to enjoy a daily coffee here.

Security at Markland

Occasionally Markland security is not quite up to the task. 🙂

Fabulous view from 27th floor

This is my lovely friend Kayoco who was visiting from Tokyo.

Dusit Thani Hotel Pattaya

July 21, 2015 by David Herd

Dusit Hotel

Dusit Thani Hotel Pattaya

Dusit Thani Hotel Pattaya sits on a prime location on the headland in Pattaya with wonderful views of the Bay. Two nice pools and a good restaurant selection.

Hotel foyer

For an excellent room rate at this five star hotel please use this link.

The Dusit Thani garden

The gardens are huge and beautifully maintained as you would expect.

Hotel entrance

The hotel is on a huge property, in fact the Woman’s Thailand open tennis is held here every year.

Dusit Thani Hotel Pattaya

The hotel entrance is beside the Dolphin roundabout at the start of Naklua Rd where there are many good restaurants.

The 2nd pool

The pool area and others sections have just been upgraded. I often use this as a short cut when I walk to Wongamat as the pathway around the waterfront has collapsed.

Beach Rd view from the Dusit.

The building next to the Holiday Inn is Markland condos, I have lived on the 17th floor on the south side since 2011. In my opinion I have the best view in Pattaya.

Yum Cha at the Peak Restaurant

I am a regular customer here for their fantastic Yum Cha, the restaurant is quite hard to find, take the elevator near the pool to the 9th floor. The food is fantastic and the service is excellent.

Very sad to say the peak restaurant is closed permanently.

More of my favourite dishes

For a five star hotel the dim sum lunch is reasonably priced, about B550 for 5 baskets, plus the quality is exceptional.

Dusit Thani Hotel Pattaya is perched on the point

Guests have one of the best views in Pattaya.

Amari Beachside Hotel Pattaya

July 18, 2015 by David Herd

This section of the hotel has been demolished to make way for a new tower in 2019.

Amari Beachside Hotel Pattaya

Amari Beachside Hotel Pattaya is on Beach Road opposite the beach and has beautiful gardens and grounds. If you can afford it stay in the Ocean Tower, good rates through this link.

It is May 2017 & a huge renovation is underway, the Garden section is being totally demolished & a new tower will be constructed in its place. Tavern by the sea on Beach Rd will also be demolished.

Two fabulous pools

Lots of places to relax & chill out.

Relax at the bar

This is my kind of bar. 🙂

Ocean tower room

Sorry about the unmade bed but it was a little early for the maid service, which is a very high standard I might add. Check the Webcam here for the Ocean Tower view.

View towards Wongamat beach

The yellow building on the left is the Dusit Thani and the 2nd high-rise from the left is Cape Dara Hotel. The high rise buildings overlook my favourite bar, the Beach Club at the Pullman Hotel.

Amari Beachside Hotel Pattaya

No bar here but ideal if you want to do some laps.

Beautiful garden

In May 2017 & a huge renovation commenced, the Garden section is being totally demolished & a new tower will be constructed in its place. Tavern by the sea on Beach Rd has also been demolished.

Amari garden reception

The Amari garden section was the low rise lower price accommodation.

Restaurant overlooking the gardens

In May 2017 & a huge renovation commenced, the Garden section is being totally demolished & a new tower will be constructed in its place. Tavern by the sea on Beach Rd has also been demolished.

Ocean Tower reception

A nice modern reception.

November 2007 Ocean Tower opens.

I’m with a group of acquaintances from Australia at the opening of the Ocean Tower in November 2007.

Opening night

Here are the happy entertainers on opening night of the Ocean Tower in November 2007.

Tavern By the Sea

This is part of the Amari hotel and offers many great food specials. Two for one drinks between 5 & 7pm each night.

Ribs & Wings

All you can eat for 469 Baht every Wednesday, in fact I was there last Wednesday July 15 2015.

Terrific duo

This duo were fantastic entertainers, both have great voices and they perform a really good style of dinner music.

The jewel in the crown

The Mantra has been my favourite restaurant since it opened back in 2004, the Sunday brunch is magnificent.

Sunday brunch is the best

Without a doubt the Mantra Sunday brunch is the best I have had anywhere in the world. If you visit Pattaya put it at the top of your list. Oysters from France, Alaskan crab, etc etc, nne different kitchens to choose from.

The fabulous Mantra restaurant, Amari hotel in Pattaya Thailand.

Every year I celebrate my birthday at the Mantra, this was 2014. Thanks for visiting my Amari Beachside Hotel Pattaya photo blog.

A-One Hotel pool

A-One Beach Road Pattaya

Unique Beach Road Pattaya Hotel the A-One has two main pools to enjoy or simply walk across Beach road to the beach. The hotel is in a perfect location next door to my condo. 🙂

Twin ships

The main hotel consists of 2 buildings at the front shaped like ships and 2 at the back, in adjacent Soi 3 there are 3 more 6 story hotels and a huge 20 story one under construction. The 27 floor high-rise in the photo is Markland where I live on the 20th floor.

A-One Beach Road Pattaya

This is only one of around 6 of there properties in the area.

Stunning at night

Unique and unforgettable, no wonder it is one of the most popular hotels in Pattaya. Take a Baht bus in front of the hotel for a short trip to wonderful Walking St for 10 Baht or 30 cents usd.

Seafood BBQ every night

Sit beside one of the two large pools and enjoy the seafood buffet.

All aboard

Beautifully lit up at night this Unique Pattaya Hotel represents good value. For an excellent room rate just book through THIS LINK.

A-One Beach Road Pattaya

Located on Beach Road north Pattaya between Soi 2 and Soi 3.

Exciting & spectacular

The view looking down from my condo in Markland.

September 16 2016

Big renovation going on around the pools.

Another A-One in Soi 3

Ai have quite a few adjoining properties, this one is located in Soi 3.

The big mishap in Soi 3

This new A-One hotel will be huge, over 20 floors, they had a little mishap late 2014 when the crane toppled over.

A closer look

Luckily there were no reports of any injuries.

June 2015

One and 1/2 years later they are still at ground level. Once they start above ground the progress will gain momentum.

September 4 2016

On the way to being completed, has reached 19 floors high.

Cape Dara Hotel Pattaya

July 17, 2015 by David Herd

Cape Dara

Cape Dara Hotel Pattaya

Cape Dara Hotel Pattaya is a nice beach side hotel overlooking the ocean. Located halfway between central Pattaya and Wongamat beach. The hotel mini bus will ferry guests to the Dolphin roundabout where they can link up with the Naklua Rd restaurants or a Baht bus to Walking St.

Cape Dara Hotel Pattaya

There is something about polished hardwood floors that adds atmosphere in the tropics.

Cape Dara Resort Hotel Pattaya Coffee shop

I must admit I didn’t try out these stools, personally I prefer a chair that I can lean back in. 🙂

Ming Xing Chinese restaurant

This is a delightful restaurant which offers a daily Yum Cha for 499 Baht and the food was excellent.

Cape Dara Hotel Pattaya

Here is a mango desert served at Ming Xing Cape Dara Hotel Pattaya. Mango is without a doubt my all time favourite fruit.

Sandy beach

Wongamat & Cosy Beach Pattaya are located north & south of the main Pattaya beach and offer far better conditions than the very busy and noisy Pattaya beach. There are no noisy speedboats taking people para sailing and to the islands so it is much easier to relax and enjoy the warm waters of the gulf of Thailand.

Location

Cape Dara with the rather recognisable roof line is behind the Dusit Thani hotel which is the yellow and white building being repainted.

Thank you for visiting my Cape Dara Resort Hotel Pattaya photo blog. I forgot to mention they run a shuttle from the hotel to the Dolphin roundabout, from there you can take a baht bus along Beach Road to Walking Street.

Centara Grand Lost City Pattaya

July 8, 2015 by David Herd

Centara Grand at Wongamat

Centara Grand Lost City Pattaya

Centara Grand Lost City Pattaya or lost city Atlantis? They have created quite an extraordinary environment in the hotel grounds. Perfect for children to have fun.

Pools or beach, you decide.

The Centara Grand is located on the beach so you can choose between a number of different pools or a nice sandy beach.

Is that a totem pole?

The hotel grounds are quite special, a fabulous place to take your children.

Elephants R Us.

The attention to detail is incredible, reminds me very much of some Las Vegas themed hotels.

For a great discount on rooms just book through THIS LINK.

A short walk along the beach to my favourite bar.

This is the Beach Club at the Pullman hotel, only about 200 metres along the beach. The best place in Pattaya to watch the sunset.

Centara Grand Lost City Pattaya

Hilton Pattaya five star hotel

January 6, 2015 by David Herd

Pattaya Hilton

Hilton Pattaya five star hotel

Hilton Pattaya five star hotel dominates the skyline in central Pattaya. Perched above Central festival shopping mall the location is perfect.

Even better at sunset

Certainly one of the best locations in Thailand to watch the magnificent sunsets while enjoying a cocktail.

Captured the flash

What a fluke, I managed to take this photos just as the flash activated. 🙂

Hilton Pattaya Spectacular decor

The modern architecture is absolutely stunning.

Lounge near reception

Hilton Pattaya five star hotel is as modern as any hotel I have ever been in.

Cocktail bar and lounge

The Hilton Pattaya is in a perfect location opposite the beach and above Pattaya’s best shopping malls. Central Festival has a huge amount of restaurants and shops so you never really have to leave the building.

Check out this link to see some of the very humorous sights you see every day on Beach road.

There is a happy hour here every night between 5 & 7 pm.

Looking north to Wongamat

Just north of Pattaya is Wongamat where there are some nice bars and restaurants.

There are 367 rooms in this tower.

Delicious cakes & good coffee

Unique Pattaya hotel Siam

August 30, 2014 by David Herd

Unique Pattaya hotel Siam @ Siam

Unique Pattaya hotel Siam @ Siam is totally fascinating, I don’t often write a post on a single hotel but Siam @ Siam is so architecturally different it is worth sharing. Perched on the corner of Soi 2 & 2nd Rd North Pattaya across the road from Big C shopping mall.

Nikki & Tony Murphy on the roof of Siam @ Siam.

Here are my friends enjoying the magnificent view from the roof of the hotel.

Top floor

Each night they show movies on a huge screen so you can relax on a comfortable lounge with a cocktail and watch a movie under the stars at Pattaya hotel Siam @ Siam.

Movies on the roof

You have a choice, watch a movie or gaze at the best view in Pattaya.

Get your feet wet here.

On a hot Pattaya night cool off with your feet in the water.

The Car Bar on the ground floor.

Wonderful spectacular unique design in the Car Bar.

Big Fish restaurant on 6th floor

I dine at the Big Fish every week, they serve the best lamb Massaman curry I have ever had.

Massaman curry

THEY USE A SLOW COOKED LAMB SHANK, THE MEAT LITERALLY FALLS OFF THE BONE, DELICIOUS. Pattaya is a city with endless choices of great food & restaurants.

Phad Thai at the Big Fish

Possibly the best known Thai dish in the world, beautifully presented at Siam @ Siam.

Big Fish restaurant with Oay.

If you look over Oay’s shoulder you will see the sculpture of a guy holding a big fish, you got it, that’s where the restaurant name came from. 🙂

Big Fish

The hotel fit out and theme is really quite remarkable.

Cocktails on the top floor

Pattaya low cost hotels

December 17, 2013 by David Herd

Low cost Sabai Resort Hotel

Pattaya low cost hotels

Pattaya low cost hotels two & 1/2 star is more in my budget range & the Sabai Resort next to Big C shopping mall offers great value. Rooms from $35 pn, 3 nice pools & one block from the beach. Book the Sabai Resort here.

Sabai Empress 2.5 star

Corner of 2nd rd & Soi 1 opposite Big C shopping mall. The Empress has excellent rooms at a reasonable price in a very good location. Book the the Sabai Empress here.

Make a booking now and get super deals through Agoda.

The Pullman hotel

Wongamat has a far nicer nicer beach than Pattaya, check out the Pullman Hotel. Their Beach club is a great bar with a happy hour every day from 5 to 7 pm. Excellent seafood buffet Friday & Saturday night. The Pullman is really a 3.5 star hotel in a 5 star location, & probably should not be in my Pattaya budget hotels section.

Book the Pullman Hotel here.

Pattaya Discovery Beach Hotel

Here is a four star hotel for a three star price, around $60 pn right across the road from the beach. Book Discovery Beach Hotel here.

A-One hotel Beach Rd

This is a very popular hotel with 2 pools and a seafood buffet every night, however it is a little more upmarket than most Pattaya budget hotels. Fantastic location opposite the beach, book A-One hotel here.

Seafood buffet at A1 Hotel

Enjoy the nightly buffet beside the pool.

Markland is beside the holiday Inn on Beach Road

Markland is a condo with 4 floors of hotel rooms, I would rate it 2.5 stars being a little generous as I actually live in the building. Ask for a room on the south side for the best view in Pattaya. Book Markland here.

The view from Markland south side.

Without a doubt this is the best view in Pattaya.

World famous Walking St.

Walking St is where tourists go to gawk at the passing parade. Hundreds of go go bars restaurants & girls, girls, girls, & lets not forget the Ladyboys. 😳 So if you are a single guy who wants good value budget hotels right in the action the Galaxy is the place for you. Only $40 pn & right above one of Pattaya’s best pole dancing clubs, Heaven Above. To get a great deal on your hotel have a look at these great deals.

The Gentlemen’s Club Soi Diamond.

The Gentlemen’s club is my favourite Go Go bar, great looking girls and friendly hosts Robbie & Hamish. I’m sure if you say David sent you they will buy you a drink. Update, the boys have sold the club to some Russian guys, still worth a visit however.

Billabong in LK Metro 1.5 star

Checkout the Billabong on live webcam

One of the good value Pattaya budget hotels for single guys & only $25 pn is The Billabong in LK Metro. This area is the choice for local guys who don’t want to mix with all the Walking St tourists. 1.5 to 2 star in a great location for beer & go-go bars. book the Billabong hotel here.

Soi Buakow area

The Soi Buakow is a budget area and a very popular part of Pattaya, lots of bars & restaurants. The Sawasdee Siam is a two star hotel in the middle of the action. Book the Sawasdee here.

Sutus Court is great value
