It was exactly what I thought it should be for the price and location. Soi LK has become the new central location for beer bars and banging go-go bars. The traditional reason a man goes to Pattaya has not changed but, the concentrated bar location has moved to this off of Beach Road and Soi 7/8 center. This is a loud and active, all night area. The bar across the street did Karokee until 4 AM one night and the next night the English Pub at the end of the street did a soccer night until dawn. Take some ear plugs and a good additude and you'll enjoy the new center of the throbing night of Pattaya. It is not the dressed up, cleaned up, family friendly Pattaya that is emerging from the "Hotel Zone". Baht busses run both ways, North and South, on Soi Bukow 100 yards away. You can ride the baht bus all the way to walking street for 10 baht.
The staff is friendly. Pool table and parking for your motor bike is right out side. They keep the room clean. No hassel at the front desk when you find that special new friend, just leave the passport or id at the front counter. Sit out front and watch the people from every part of the world wander past.
