Mini 3 night, 4 days trip to Pattaya:

Hotel Vista Pattaya
Open 24hours/day
website: http://www.hotelvista.com
Call: +66 (0) 38 052 300
Address: 196 Pattaya Soi 4, Banglamung, Chonburi 20150, Thailand

Hotel Vista was overall a nice hotel. Good location there in Soi 4 of north Pattaya. There is a Family Mart nearby, lots of restaurants, taxi stands, and even the Pattaya International Hospital very near. Hotel Vista is located right opposite of Mike Beach Resort. Hotel Vista is a very nice looking hotel, with a lot of extra’s, but quite a few were a bit disappointing also. Great free breakfast buffet, nice gym, nice rooms, but they do have an ant problem in their bedrooms. Also, the free wifi only works about 40% of the time. The room I stayed in did not have hot water. And the steam room was out of service. Overall, for the price, Hotel Vista was a disappointment to my friend and I both. Although it was a decent experience, I will choose to not stay there again.

The Rooms: The rooms at Hotel Vista were very nice, looking great. Nice balcony view, nice size. My only problems were they have small ants that are everywhere, I even found a couple dead ants in my bed. Also my room 712 did not have hot water in the shower or sink. Was a nice raindrop shower with bathtub, but taking a cold bath is not really my thing. The aircon did work very well, you could make your room into a winter feeling if you really wanted lol. You get 2 free bottles of water per day, and another great thing is the minibar is fully stacked with drinks, water, alcohol and snacks. Also there is a water boiler for making tea and coffee and a hair dryer too. Dvd player in each room is a bonus too.
The Menu: The menu has a lot of great foods to choose from, western menu section and also a thai menu section. They also have a lot of healthy choices too.
What I Ate: I ate the spaghetti bolognese, it was great!
The Staff: The staff was very friendly always, very welcoming and nice.
The Facilities: The gym was nice and clean, a little bit small, but it’s perfect for a hotel and travel. The steam room was not in service so that was a big downer.
The Bathrooms: Bathrooms clean and nice.

Extras: Hotel Vista has free wifi internet for customers, BUT, I would not really consider this hotel if you are serious about using internet, it was 1 of the worst internet connections that I’ve seen from all my travels in my life. Also another big downer was they are advertised to have a steam room, but it was not available for use when I’m there. They do give you a few drink tickets for free beer at the hotel bar, and also you get a delicious free breakfast too.

Wasabi Japanese Restaurant
“Wonderful japanese cuisine in the heart of Ratchada”
Open everyday:
Website: http://www.wasabithai.com (their website is currently offline)
Call: 02 660 9276
Address: 3rd Floor, Esplanade, 99 Rachadapisek Rd, Bangkok 10400 (BTS station Thailand Cultural Centre)

Wasabi Japanese Restaurant is originated from Japan and the owner is Yamada Sensei. It is a nice little japanese restaurant on the 3rd floor of the Esplanade Mall in Ratchada. Being on the 3rd floor it’s pretty much out of the way of the hustle and bustle of things in Esplanade. So it’s a nice little getaway from all the busy restaurants there. The food was great, the service was good too. So if you are in the Ratchada area and in the mood for a different japanese restaurant than your typical Fuji, Shabushi, Sakura, etc, then I really suggest giving Wasabi Restaurant a fair chance and try it out 🙂

The Menu:
What I Ate: I ordered a variety of great foods, including seared salmon, salmon sashimi, fried grouper and a few more things. Overall the meal was great, the food was delicious.
The Staff: The staff was very friendly and accommodating, we were seated at a regular middle table, but then a side window table opened up and asked if we would rather sit there with a nice view of Ratchada road. I appreciated that

Spanish On 4 aka Tapas Cafe Bangkok was is the downtown branch of ever-popular Tapas Cafe in Sukhumvit Soi 11. The new restaurant is located in the heart of the Silom business area on Silom Soi 4. During the day Soi 4 is busy with a lot of local office workers taking their lunch. At night, the street livens up and the terrace at Spanish on 4 becomes a great place for dining, drinking and people watching. The food is similar to Tapas Cafe – traditional spanish foods, and very authentic, Spanish tapas with weekly changing specials. The kitchen is overseen by Xavier Palomar, their chef from Barcelona, so having a true chef from Spain will reassure you that the foods at Spanish On 4 is very authentic. The wine list has wines from all the major wine producing areas of Spain at very reasonable prices and home made sangria is always a party favorite. The atmosphere is informal and buzzy with latin and other world music playing. Bookings are recommended for parties, or on the weekends. Happy hour runs all day until 7 pm with 2 for 1 sangria and 3 for 2 tapas on offer. Lunch sets are available daily at 220 baht. Price is usually about 200 – 500 baht per person. Capacity: 80 people.
