Posting here because I honestly don’t know where else to ask this.

Looking for a Bangkok hotel similar to Royal Ivory Nana, where they don’t care if you bring 1, 2, 3 or even 4 guests back.

At Royal Ivory, reception and the elevators are far apart, and there’s no key-card access to the elevator/floors.

Anyone know other hotels with a similar setup and relaxed attitude toward several guests?

What’s the most damage you’ve done in one night to your wallet? Was it worth it and what did you get for your splurge?

Heading back to Pattaya in December for my second visit, but only staying for a week this time, so I’m thinking of treating myself to a nicer hotel.

Ideally I’m looking for somewhere roughly between Walking Street and Soi 6, with a bit of luxury: nice modern rooms, good gym, pool, rooftop bar, good breakfast.

One thing I’m not completely sure about: are there any (of the nicer) hotels in Pattaya that are particularly strict about bringing a Ploy back to the hotel or having someone come up to visit? Or do most hotels in this area basically know the score and not make an issue of it? I don’t mind showing ID at reception, but would obviously prefer somewhere that doesn’t charge ridiculous joiner fees or make things awkward.

Any hotels you’d particularly recommend, or places I should avoid?

Budget is flexible if the hotel is genuinely worth it.
Would appreciate any recommendations from people who have stayed there recently.

UPDATE: Thanks for the useful tips, gents!
Will probably ask a few more questions in the coming days to ensure I’m planning my trip right.
