What should I inspect personally before committing to hotels and resorts?

Pattaya has everything from basic hotels to large beachfront resorts. The best choice depends on noise tolerance, transport, beach access, guest policies and whether you want central nightlife or a quieter district. Inspect the exact room or unit, water pressure, air conditioning, internet, noise, lifts, parking, access roads and signs of damp or construction. Record the condition in photographs and make sure the written inventory and contract match what you were shown. Booking note: Confirm the exact location, room type, noise exposure, cancellation terms, deposits and guest policy directly. “Central”, “beachfront” and “sea view” can describe very different layouts.
