3 Days 2 Nights in Pattaya, Thailand - A trip of Mother-Daughter's :: EP1 Arrival & Siam@Siam Design Hotel
Hello.
I took my mom on a beach trip on 26-28Jul 2018. I decided to give her something special.
At first, I want to take her on a trip to Chomphorn in Southern of Thailand but she gave me a big no-no and said she preferred Pattaya. My mom told me she had been there when she was in the 20s. That's it -- how the trip planning began.
Someone might say that Pattaya is the sin city of Southeast but the city has much more than that. The city has much more things for a trip of Mother-Daughter's like this or a family trip.
I did all the planning. I had $1xx Agoda gift voucher. So, I booked the hotel via Agoda a few days before the trip.
This may not the cheapest ways - compared to other Thais - local people. But it's one of the cheap ways.
It's the hotel with Mut-Cha-Nu.
Transportation-Arrival
My mom didn't trust me to drive on those days. I worked quite hard on workdays and weekends. And also I have slept for a few hours in nights. So, we went to Ekamai Transportation Station using Public Transport. Since my mom preferred a coach bus option, I walked to the first ticket box office in the right-hand side of the transport station. The ticket cost is 108 THB or 3.24 USD per person. We can select the seats we preferred. But we can't do the same at Pattaya Transportation. However, we can tell the staff that want to sit together and they can manage those things for us mostly.
When we arrived, we walked to the front of the transport station and walked across the street. There're mini-truck transport services that Thais called "Song-Theaw". If we took the services that they're offered inside Transportation service, it costs 50THB or 1.5 USD per person. Motor taxi services offered the same rates.
I called several "Song-Theaw" before I found the one that finally accepted me and couples of foreigners. The cost is 10 THB/person or 0.30USD/person. This is the normal rate for "Song-Theaw" in Pattaya city but the cost is 20THB for long-route.
I pressed the ring and asked the driver to drop me off at Beach road near Pattaya Soi 2. He confirmed that I can walk straight to Pattaya Sai 2 road. It's 450-metre walk to the hotel I'd booked.
Total Transporation cost (arrival) = (108+10)x2 = 236 THB
Hotel: Siam @Siam design Hotel
I chose the Siam@Siam Design hotel because of its nice designs, good reviews on the internet and its location. I booked one room for two people. It's a Leisure class.
It's the welcome drink I'd received when I'd arrived.
Deposit 500THB per night
What I first saw - Lobby area:
Here're the pools on the 24th-floor area.
Sitting area
Here's another sitting area near the bar.
Last day's morning, I order iced coffee and I got this. The tray contains coffee ice cube in a glass, a bottle of coffee, a glass of syrup, a glass of milk and a glass of water. I had mixed them on my own. It was a little bit messy when I was not fully woke up yet but I can control the taste I like - not too sweet and not too dark.
Toilets at ground floor. They are near Car bar area.
So, what are your thoughts? I hope you like this. ^.^

The room:
Ceiling:
Views from the room:
Skybar is on the 27th floor. We need to go to the 24th floor first
Here're the pools on the 24th-floor area.
Sitting area
Rooftop bar. I think the giant with the fish tale that is the signature of this hotel is called Muj-cha-nu. But I'm not sure either. I really like him so I took a lot of photos with him. >o<
Here's another sitting area near the bar.
It's a mango smoothie. Menus @Rooftop bar is quite different from the ones @ Car bar.
Car bar:
