  • Jomtien is a great area to stay! It's got great beaches, great restaurants and now it has great hotels costing LESS THAN 1,000 Thai Baht. That's not even $30 US and isn't much over 20 UK pounds. Whatever currency you're thinking in, this is a hotel that's worth your time.
    It's a new hotel (opened 2021) and is just a couple of minutes walk from the splendid Jomtien beach. It's got an interestingly shaped pool that will suit serious swimmers and beginners alike. It's also got a fully equipped gymnasium, car park and is accessibility friendly. But there is one thing that disappointed on this visit...Find out what is was and see if you agree!

    Great review BC, covered all bases there. Excellent value. That area (Soi14) of Jomtien is really popular with Thais at the weekend so I would imagine the hotel gets a lot busier. I’m with you, that set breakfast, although cheap, looked a bit sad.

      @balloonchaser  Před rokem +1

      Thanks, Keef. Gotta say that area is pretty good. I used to rent a condo within walking distance of there and there's plenty of restaurants and activities. Thais love the fact they can park on the road next to the beach. Thanks for the comment

      Hi PFI. Yes, definitely one for any trip to Jomtien. It's got it all, except I'd want the buffet breakfast not the set menu!

    I preferred the previous hotel at the high price point. However, for the budget in the case, this hotel does indeed look like a decent option. It is certainly clean and well decorated enough.

    • @balloonchaser
      @balloonchaser  Před rokem +1

      Thanks, David. No doubt the previous hotel was far more luxurious. But debatable if it's worth paying almost 4 times as much if staying for a week or two. I'd be tempted to do the bulk of the hotel here then, finish up with a night or two of 5 star opulence!

    TJ Hooker springs to mind, but I guess it isn't a William Shatner themed hotel from the vlog🤣
    Definitely seems at the quiet end of Jomtien. So I can understand them not doing buffet midweek. Great places along the beach though, especially for your beloved coffee 😉

    • @balloonchaser
      @balloonchaser  Před rokem +1

      That might be why it's the TJ Hotel then! I would have guessed the J stood for Jomtien. Maybe the T is from The!! Yes, some great coffee shops along beach road in Jomtien.

    Nice video as ever BC. It looked like at the very end you realised that you hadn’t tried any of the special fx things you’d just learnt about and felt an uncontrollable urge to show-horn them in!
    I used to go to jomtean often. I used to stay at a place which appears to have closed down now, Jomtien Gardens Hotel. It wasn’t anything special, just good at most things in a satisfactory way. I dunno if it’s still closed?

    • @balloonchaser

      Thanks a lot Tony. Actually I still hate to see myself on camera so I do anything to distract from the fact. I'll get used to it!

      Thanks again for comment!

    nice review BC, have to say the receptionist was the yummiest thing there, but i doubt she is on the menu! the breakfast really wouldn't bother me as i prefer to get out for some walking and stop off for food somewhere along the seafront (apart from my early cup of Yorkshire tea that i bring with me) the room prices were very competitive but i bet they rise steeply in high season👍

    • @balloonchaser
      @balloonchaser  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thanks, Tony. Coincidentally I was looking at this hotel for a friend who is arriving at the end of the month. It's currently around the 1,300-1.400 baht make. I don't think that's too bad given how prices have risen in general since I made the original video. On the down side, I have no idea what sort of staff turnover they've experienced or indeed who is in charge of ckeck-in these days!

    • @balloonchaser
      @balloonchaser  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Thanks! My best advice to you would be to look at Airbnb type condos, which also take daily and weekly bookings. My reason is that condos tend to have one or two larger pools more suitable for actual swimming. The hotels I know don't really have large pools.
      On a side note, I do quite like the rooftop pool at Siam@Siam hotel, soi 2 Pattaya. And you don't even have to stay there to use it!

      It's a few months since I was there (and therefore not in high season), but all I can say is that I didn't see any when I was there. I found the staff friendly, and if it's important, I'd be tempted to phone and ask them about the current situation . Thanks.
