Guest CurlyEye Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Does anyone have any knowledge or experience in regards to this place as a choice for a long term, as in several month, stay? http://www.diamondcitypattaya.com/ It looks good in the pics and also the location seems very reasonable. Standard room rates of 9,900 seem pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Astrrro Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 It's a good deal Khun Curly. Some minor negatives though. Internet is extra (of course so is electric and water). My impression is that the desk staff as well as the waiters in their coffee shop do their job but don't seem overly friendly. Pool is small and not the type of place one would want to lounge around. A plus is that it's the closest accommodation to Tony's Fitness Center (Tony's apartments is closer as the crow flies but crossing 3rd Road is a pain while Diamond City is a two minute walk without crossing any streets. Tony's has a huge outdoor pool that's open till 11PM. Late at night I'm generally the only one in the pool. Great landscaping around the pool. There's also steam and saunas (not that kind of sauna, get your mind out of the gutter). Only gym I've seen where u can buy beer and cigarettes. Another guy told me that the internet connection is very good and he needs super reliable, fast internet and he's happy to pay extra for it. Not sure how often they clean or change sheets. If you need any info I can pop by and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atri1666 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I stayed once shortly for 3 days but i dont liked it. To far away from the action - in my holidays i dont want to waste to much time with transport. I recently discovered near sansuksauna pattaya garden appartments and have had a look at the rooms. For long stay its possible to deal about the price and they have one price for all seasons. They are also recommended as gayfriendly. http://www.pattayagardenapartments.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest laurence Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 It would seem that pattaya gardens are even further from the action, unless the action is in Jomtien. I looked for a map but did not see one. I could be wrong, as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atri1666 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 The map you can find under reservations. I am very quickly in sunee because there are lots of bahtbusses and i can walk to sansuk. From diamond i often must wait long times and i dont like motobike-taxis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhorTose Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I don't stay in Pattaya long term, but on my first short trip I stayed at Yensabai condo which has weekly, as well as, monthly rates. I found it a very good deal, and it is close to boys town and Sunee, and a short walk to the red buses. The rental agency was Pattaya rent-a-room. http://www.pattayarentaroom.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Astrrro Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Here's a realtor that prorates the monthly rate so great rooms at the VCC Condo and MyView Condo are only 400 baht a night plus electric/water/cleaning. Think this guy also has a similar scheme for some Yensabai Condo units. http://www.apatpro.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaybutton Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 You could also contact TOQ. He had been renting out a room at the Yensabai Condo for an excellent price. TOQ, if you see this message, do you still rent out that room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Astrrro Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 With Yensabai Condo, would someone confirm the ID check policy? And no joiner fees even if multiple boys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they before or behind third road in soi 17? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
