Champ Pattaya Hotel  

In South Pattaya, a budget boutique resort just a short 10-minute walk from the pedestrianised beach, shops and bars and about 3 km from Pattaya’s panoramic viewpoint. Family-friendly and well placed for nightlife and seaside days, roughly 45 minutes from U Tapao Airport and about 2 hours from Bangkok International Airport.

Colorful, slightly unusual modern-Thai décor sets a playful tone. Rooms have private balconies, individually regulated air-conditioning, TV and en suite bathrooms with showers. The hotel offers short- and long-term stays, plus services like a lobby safe, room service and laundry — handy for families and longer visits.

Small outdoor swimming pool with a children’s area, spa facilities including Jacuzzi, sauna and Thai massage, a beauty salon, karaoke lounge, bar/lounge and a restaurant. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and unwind by the pool after a day on the beach.

Conference facilities, 24-hour front desk, concierge services and safe deposit boxes available.

On-site restaurant and bar/lounge for relaxed meals and drinks, plus a karaoke bar for late-night fun. New Year’s Eve gala dinner (31/12) is included in the price.
