Stayed there one time crossing 3rd road is a challenge. Buses full of Chinese tourists. So very nice hotel but I would stay elsewhere because of the location. Thanks for the awesome hotel reviews I think page 10 is the winner in my book so far.
Stayed there for 2 weeks in early January @1000 baht per night.
Wifi speed fast @ around 50mbs download.
Room was spotlessly cleaned every day.
Bed was really comfortable.
The shower was excellent with good power and hot water.
Staff are lovely and non intrusive
You do the best hotel reviews in Pattaya by far . Seen some of these on Agoda but still had questions. You answer all the questions thanks 👍.
So nice of you
Have booked 9 nights here for mid October on the strength of this video. Searched around and got a cracking deal from Agoda on the 1-bed suite. Really looking forward to visiting. Thanks for the tip-off 👍
Sawasdee Khrap Daz.
You kept your word and I'm very happy you went to visit LK President.
we stayed there multiple times from November 2021 till January while a travelled thru Thailand.
The breakfast you have to buy downstairs because of the covid regulations that were in place at the time , this place is a gem and the food fresh and delicious.
And important , they have a huge private parking under the hotel - 3 floors .
Khob khun khrap Daz .
My pleasure
I first went to Thailand in 89 and I lived in the village on 3rd road. It was just a dirt road and just had the buffaloe bar. Can't believe how much pattaya has changed over the years. This hotel is fantastic. Great video daz
Same 89, but was Phuket. Didn’t go to Pattaya until 90😀
@@steveprice8201 I've been all over but not been phuket only koh samui
Jeebus, that's the year I was born!
No way!!!! Couldn’t imagine that LK president will be on your mid priced hotel series. Because it wasn’t mid priced. In 2019 July on my last visit to Pattaya I paid 3300 baht per night including breakfast. This is a great hotel, the breakfast is amazing too. And despite being in bukhao, the walls and glasses are insulated well to keep the outside noise away. Pro tip to anyone who will stay here: Dial 0 on your room’s phone after 8 pm, and let the magic happen. Amazing collection.
Dial 0?? Tell me more, I'm curious??
@@ReadyFreddyGo it’s a hot line for some hot dishes served straight to your room. Before that you’ll get the menu 😜
Nice that Daz thanks
Thats an awesome spot made. Thank you very much for the tipp
As always, thank you Daz for such a nice review ! The hotel's furniture however puts me off to be quite frankly, it doesn't fit my style of serenity and the road crossing could also be an issue after a heavy night out as well as the hight of the hotel floors. I still think that the Eureka Lodge is still the best option so far followed by Page 10, even though the LK president ticks some of the boxes. Well done again, keep it up 👌👌🙏
Really liked the One Bedroom Suite with the kitchenette. As a vegan, I would really like the option to cook my dinner sometimes. I only eat 2 meals per day.
USD monthly = $1,160.21 plus 95 Baht breakfast/day = $84.90 USD/month.
Total $1,245.11 USD/month room & breakfast.
Maybe add $100 to $200 USD for dinner veggies, then only other costs would be beer and a lady entertainment or a "happy ending" massage a few times / week. (I'm 81 years old.)
No need for taxi (Bolt), tuk-tuk, or rental of car or motorbike. Walking for good daily exercise. No worries, no problems, living a life of ease.🥰 Life would be GOOD.😍
That suite is really good. Love the fact it has a bath and a separate shower as well. Over the course of a week or a month I always look for a place with a bath. Not as bother if the showers separate tbh but having a bath is just nice if you need to have a proper a relaxing soak. Good generous size of both the living space and the bedroom as well & with the kitchen it helps if you're looking to keep dining costs down ( to save money for 'other things') as you can make yourself something a few days of the week.
Love all your blogs great information for a stay in Thailand 😊
Thanks, Daz!
Nice place and amenities for someone staying short term and who wants to be close to Central.
Much better values close by for longer stays or those that don't need or want to be that close to the action.
The larger places are more attractive while business is recovering. In full swing, waiting for elevators and limited parking can be issues. All depends on what you're looking for.
Thanks, for all your great info It will help so much with travel planing
Beautiful hotel, thank you for showing it..👏👏👏
Daz,
Wow really liked this vlog on this I believe a great bargain and close to all the up coming action districts…Well done and Thank you🤠🇦🇺🍺👍🏻
Excellent, most helpful!
It’s really fantastic thank you for the video
My gosh this video brought back memories. I stayed at this hotel in October 2018 with my Thai girlfriend, sadly this was the last time we were together as a couple. One of the happiest times of my life. Thank you for posting.
She liked it in November too 😄
This place is deluxe, great value for the money - may have to check it out firsthand when I return next winter....thanks for posting this video.
Excellent info!
I've booked for May 2024 for 12 nights, £29 per night. Absolute bargain. Great review as always, thank you.
I have curious about this hotel for a while. I usually stay at P. Plus which is very close.
It's MARVELLOUS. For that price, ITS UNBELIEVABLE!
I'm glad you did this one. It's one I had considered because of its location. I've never seen the inside.
Another good video, thanks.
A question to add would be the speed of WiFi in these hotels, which would probably be important for a lot of your viewers, especially if staying a month or more
Wow - the 1 bedroom is really amazing and something I would love to rent on my next holiday if the prizes stay at that level. Thanks for showing this :)
Super full video. You answered all questions concisely. Thanks for sharing these very informative reviews 👍 😀
Glad you liked it
Never been but if I come would definitely look at this one looks fabulous
Great video. Bring back a lot of memories. have stayed in LK president on my 4 past trips. It is definitely the best value for money hotel. I'm coming to stay here in May as well
Staying in June; invaluable questions cheers👍👍
Wooooow 😍👌thanks sir 🙏
Great video I always stay LK EMPRESS beach rd
Thanks for the video tour. I am booked at this hotel for my upcoming vacation. Was $74 CAD a night though, for 20 days.
It's good to have a question, take the lady back to the hotel for a fee or not。Thank you for your work, very helpful to me who is about to arrive in Pattaya
good find Daz
Great find.!!! Decent gym. Could use a bit larger pool or multiple pools.
Wow! That LK President Hotel is quite something. Opulence at a bargain rate. Here's hoping they can maintain the price during 2024.
Another Great place .
Beautiful hotel.
thanks for showing these places for rent really making me dream more love the workout place to i would get the room where you can cook loved that room
Wow that is reall cheap wow love the hotel out side like gold outside on the building
A fantastic price for that location and amenities + great decor.
Great vid as usual. The only drawback in staying there is in trying to cross 3rd road from the Soi Xzyte side. You're taking your life in your hands and the traffic seems oblivious to pedestrians. They need a raised walkway like they have in Bangkok.
@@dg6887 What kind of biscuits do you suggest? Rich tea, bourbon creams, chocolate hobnobs? I'm all ears
Nice find
Nice place for sure ..
First!
Nice job Daz.
Very nice.
Great video 👍. I remember nearly booking this hotel about 4 or 5 years ago because it looked quite posh & was cheap. I remember reading the reviews at the time re the Chinese tourists on buses. Also the swimming pool is very small I seen to recall. But I would stay there right now definitely 👍🇹🇭🍻
Looks nice for the price.
I’ve seen other condos you toured on the beach area with beautiful amenities modern buildings. And beautiful grounds. Is cheaper. And beautiful
It's funny I was going to ask in your last video about LK president 😁😁😁
I've stayed at the LK renaissance and the LK royal many times....so this review is a great bonus. Thanks
Great video mate. Excellent place, I m definitely gonna stay there for 7 or 10 days. I ve stayed at many LK but not this one. Will stay at Empress on Beach Rd for two weeks, maybe this one first.
The Suite in these hotels is really good. They are actually more liked serviced apartments, does not have that lack of privacy hotel feeling.
Those rates are very good value.
Daz, its now 3 months after i saw this video and i made now a reservation for two months in the high season. Its 48000 Baht monthly for the one bedroom suite. Superb price for high season and this size, also very good located! This saves me a lot of money i can spend now otherwise now ;-) If I see you around Im gonna pay you beer or two for the tip :)
Good lord that is a beautiful hotel. I checked the prices out to July 2023 and the most basic room was 1000 TBH/night.
Thanks, looking forward to the 1.5 to 2k price range now 👍😊
Thanks a very informative video. I live in soi Bongkot just behind there. Less than 10 minutes I am halfway down pothole. A truly great position. Have you had a look at Soi Bongkot ? Very cheap hotels all the Gentleman's clubs on your door step. At home resort . Expats food stores. A truly great area for tourists and expats alike.
Yeah, will do
Nice,old fashioned Elegance
Great hotel and good price..
Yes I normally stay with flipper group soi 7 or 8. This April me and my thai wife stayed here fabulous for 1100 baht for a deluxe room with balcony lovely for the money short walk to lk metro and tree town. Straight over the road from soi pothole. Will stay again.
LK properties have always given excellent value. Years ago when I first started stopping long term in Pattaya before they had all of these modern places the old LK Mansion at the Central Rd end of Buakhow was my favourite place, with the added benefit of having, what was at the time the excellent and 24 hour Lengkee restaurant right next door.
You will go a long way anywhere in the World to find quality you show here for these sort of prices. At least some things in Thailand are still good value.
looks good
Very nice video again :-) Did you ever do a video on the LK Empress hotel on beach road ? Would like to see your view on that hotel
No, never done there
It looks pretty good .
My Australian friend told me that was built for the Chinese, not that it matters.
I’d stay there .
Where is the action: LK Metro? This is the best Pattaya hotel I have seen reviewed on YT. I love the extra charge for the third person.
Excellent video. This channel is fast becoming my favourite Thailand one, let alone Pattaya.
catching up on your videos, planning my dream. posh place. thanks! Interestingly, its on Agoda now (June 9, 2022) for $30 USD
Wow that's a great price for a good location. Close enough to the action but just enough distance away that if you want some piece and quite or an early night you can have it. I remember it being built and almost completed last time there and thinking it's going to be pretty expensive to stay there, I guess not?
I'd like to live there and just move around from one room to the other 😝. You've got the whole building to yourself probably. The pool actually looked ok in this vid especially if nobody else is using it 👍🇹🇭😍🍻
One bed suite very good !
Very nice I would stay their 100 per cent
Very nice, could you check out Four Seasons Place right down the road on 3rd from LK President?
Thanks for yet another great video. I certainly will stay at this hotel/ in the 1 bedroom studio with the cooking facilities.
Q. Does the songtaew baht bus pass by the hotel to go to the beach, Soi Baukeau, ?
No, but if you cross the road and walk down Soi Pothole directly opposite, you come to Soi Buakhao, if you make it that far LOL
Okay! This will do it! I'll take it 😃👍 Let's start up the paperwork 📋🖋️
Ive stayed there befor covid its nice only issues is very popular chinese tourist and up to 6 buses arrive at once so reception can be chaotic and the halls can be loud when they yelling down the hall at there friends. Tbis mainly early evening
Theyre also like a horde of locusts at breakfast time. Expect everything to be gone if you go to eat after 8am
I,ve been lucky with those multi bus ccp tour groups, but i stayed at the Topland hotel in phitsanulok and it was rammed with buses, but never saw one chinese person in hotel or anywhere, but i did hear them shouting in the hotel corridors at 5am in the morning, went for breakfast around 9am and they had all gone (thankfully) ships in the night,.
Beautiful
Nice place
I’m going to try it 😊
Hey Daz, the information you give us in all your videos is priceless. I'm in pattaya now and staying at the LK and loving it. I've been recommending your channel to anyone who listens. Keep up the good work and thanks again for all the helpful tips and trick in your videos. Peace ✌️😎
Thank you
@@anthony11479 sure can 👍🏻
Staying there in a suite next month for 5 weeks. LKs never let me down. Couldn’t get into my usual place (August Suites) but at least the girls all know where to find you in the president - no directions ever needed!
For me it’s a great location
Just over 4 years ago I was staying in the S-One guest house on Soi Pothole. Many a time I would look at this impressive building and think that it would be way above my budget. How wrong I was.
To put it into perspective, in the UK, the daily price for the de-luxe room will just about (if you're lucky) get you a cramped single bedded room in a pub with shared facilities (toilet and shower) and the price of the 1 bedroom suite wouldn't even pay for a Travel Lodge type room.
Apart from Go-Go and Disco establishments, Soi Pothole just across the road has a wide choice of 'entertainment' places. So it's right on the doorstep of the go to area of Pattaya.
Great video hope to stay there soon keep up the good work Steve from sussex
A bit of a belated comment. Pattaya was of my radar for a while but it seems certain restrictions may be lifted soon. I have stayed at many different types of accommodation over 14 years of visiting Pattaya. 2 trips ago I stayed at the LK on Diana, Residence I think, it was Ok. For the money, even when I am thinking of going, September, this is spot on, around Au$52/night. You can get a guesthouse etc for maybe 30/night, but 20 bucks extra, I mean that's 2 drinks in Australia and you are getting something so much better. I was a bit concerned by a comment I read on a site that someone was charged 500b for a guest, but your video clearly states first one is free. I'll just get my leave approved, get the flights and book this. Thanks so much, I would never have considered this hotel at all. I have seen it many times, walking onto Third Road from Lenke to that food place. Cheers.
Nice review, thanks Daz. My only criticism of the place is that for a 29 storey hotel with I don't know how many bedrooms, that swimming pool looks pretty small. By comparison I would prefer Areca as it has two pools and both are bigger than that one at LK President.
I would also have some concern about crossing 3rd Road after a few pints
3rd Road is a nightmare to traverse. I pity anyone with any kind of disability like a wonky leg. Actually pattaya is home to quite a few people with gammy legs. Remember one time my buddy and I while sitting in a bar mid-afternoon on beach road decided to play spot the cripple where we'd give marks out of 10 to the assorted examples of challenged ambulation that passed the bar. No wheelchairs were allowed as they had to be walking. Slight limps were given 2 or 3 points etc. but the champ was a poor bloke with 2 artificial legs and an artificial arm who despite these impediments was still able to make his way around the bars. We had to admire his tenacity and get up and go attitude and he didn't let his disability hinder his activities.
I keep saying this....The Low Budget Price Hotel in his Previest Videos are way better than any of these Mid Price Hotels... These Prices are too High....
price seems crazy low lol wish i could move there now lol amazing place really is wonder how long those prices stay that way
Once again u went above and Beyond the Call of Duty / Outdid yourself. thanks so much

I know someone who's stayed at the l k metropole recently, and i wondered why they had the green netting over the signs,?.(but it was very much open) that l k you previewed is fairly new, 5/36y/o,.(actualy opened 2016) it looks very grand and allot more modern than the old l k metro, i liked the outside food idea, but i can see this place with many bus loads of chinese tourists who are due for release from china in october !,. l k is a chinese owned group so i,m guessing they will favour their own hotels, but then again as a long time l k metropole customer, i,ve never seen any ccp tour groups in there thankfully,.cheers daz,.
I considered this place about 2015, and at that time it was new and about THB 1500p/n on a discount website in June so low season. About the same as the relatively nearby Mercure was also about the same price, but I preferred Mercure as nearer to 2nd Road. But this place at the top of Lenke/Pot Hole in 2022 for those prices. Yes. A great option. The quality of the accomodation makes it fantastic value. It just depends on how sensitive you are to location, and/or what location you want.
Hey Daz as always great vids just love this channel . I know you always laugh when they say they charge for the 3rd guest but next time can you ask how much ? ;-) Keep up the great work . Cheers
She said the same as many others, 500 baht for the 2nd girl
Hi. Thanks for a nice video. Can you check if they have breakfest now and how much it costs pr day ore for one month. Thank you .
Very nice Daz we stayed at LK Royal Suite in the Versace Suite 80m2 2 balcony jacuzzi massive kitchen it was fantastic the price now about 2700 baht a night.
Sounds great!
I stayed there too and in the same suite - it was excelllent 🙂
Another great video.
I'm coming in July can you please ask them if you can smoke on the balcony thanks
Yes, you can smoke on the balcony
I still prefer the smaller hotels .not because they're cheaper they just seem to have more personality .this hotel though was really good and well worth consideration .
What a bargain for the value and location!
I stayed at both the LK President and the LK The Empress in December, 2021. Three weeks at the President and one week at The Empress. Both ran me about 1000 baht per day. The Empress included breakfast for two every day but no meals included at The President. Of the two, I have to o give a distinct edge to The Empress for several reasons. It is right on Beach Road whereas The President is on Third Road. Everything seems to be located across Third Road and, as a newbie to Pattaya, I found Third Road difficult to cross because it is both busy and a two way road. Beach Road is much easier to cross and the only reason to cross is for or the beach and the walkway. Everything else is on the hotel side of the road. My room at The Empress wad a bit nicer than The President. But, the included breakfast for two is the real game changer. I booked both on Agoda so the pricing is not the same as walking up to the desk. I think that a visit to the LK The Empress would be a good one for your videos.
Yes, pls. Can you review this one too pls?
Walk up Rates are Cheaper than if u book in advance????
@@biggiesmall2706 I don’t think so. Usually booking in advance is less. There are always exceptions but usually Agoda will be cheaper.
@@dondahlquist TY very much
Interesting vlog... you pay if you come with two guests... so it's fine, i'm too old for this scenario... Thanks again
Stopped here a few times and recommended
The location is fine with some great places to eat over the road or around the back.. The letdown is the swimming pool which is extremely small for the size of the hotel & is shaded for most of the afternoon..
Thanks for sharing, nice place indeed, am I remembering this right, isn't there another hotel with the same LK name ? (LK royal wing ) , regards from England 🍺🍺👍
There are about 10 LK hotels in Pattaya
I like the suite room because have cooking facilities, same condo, but is 1300 a month. And also location is perfect. But for 1/3 of the price you could book a condo easy for yourself , with large swimming pools. That swimming pool is a joke. I would take that hotel room for a week, but no more. Thanks for share with us.
I think we've found a winner!
Looks superb - and nice there's a weekly rate too!
Do you think the 'coconuts' will go home for Songkran? If so, how soon do you think they'll return to Pattaya?
The Coconuts will return quickly (as soon as their cash finishes) so by the 18th April, I guess.
Crossing 3rd road is not like people are saying they make it sound like crossing the amazon. On this side is Bongkot 5 and 8 plus Bliss and M club. Great value hope it's still on when I come back in June
