When l was younger l preferred Pattaya, now I'm more mature l prefer Jontiem.
When I was a bit younger in my 40s, I didn’t mind staying in super cheap places but now that I’m in my 50s, I do try to go at least mid range.😉🌴🏡
This is mid-range. 3000b monthly is low-range.
That hotel checks all the boxes, especially the SHTHOLE BOX ☑️
😂😂😂
That’s funny as f@@k
😂
Those type of rooms are for sleeping and showering only. Waste of money as you actually spend more money because you end up going out because of the room.
Yes I rented a lovely condo right at the end of the beach pretty much, soi 19 had a lovely big pool surrounded by lovely gardens and flowers so I spent a lot of time just chilling in the complex had a thai restaurant on one side and a American hamburger joint on the site ok it was 15.000 bht a month but didn’t need to get out all the time because it wasn’t a depressing place, and yes eddy that soi is a boys town thing in jomtien but some normal bars up there too.
Eddie if you don't change that diet you won't last much longer!! 😳
4 pies and 8 Chang beers are healthy!😂
Same day he had the stroke
I am no snob and stay in Pattaya three months a year but that room you’re staying in would depress me, cheap it may be but with the wiring outside the balcony etc I would have thought you could find something better!
I stay in guest houses in pattaya and can extend my stay I don't need luxury a nice comfortable bed is good enough.
it's fine, just don't book more than a night or two, walk around and you may see something better and just move.
Steady Eddy is a Cheap Charlie … 😂
@@ma3stro681 200 - 300B western feeds and taxi's isn't a cheap charlie!!
@@ma3stro681 200-300b western feeds and getting taxis isn't cheap. Everything seems cheap but still adds up, shouldn't be comparing to home currency once live there.
4:00 you should go to that barbershop
Eddy only cuts the hair that he can see.
Eddy has a forest on the back of his neck .
Eddie looks a little weary. Get some rest mate. You’ve aged years since leaving the King’s land.
it wont be long before hes back in the u.k
You called it 😞
@@michaelward9317 As it turns out you were bang on mystic meg
Another chill entertaining and informative video of Jomtien. Thanks very much and have a great time in Pattaya.
Thanks, you too!
Jomtien is my place now. Don't stay in central Pattaya anymore. Great cheap food and beer. And some other cultural activities that an educated gentleman like me pursues.
Jomtien looks good I only ever go there to see my visa agent. Cheap Charlie’s on soi 5 just down from the immigrant office 89 baht breakfast. I need to try the bars over there. Thanks for the review of the area. It looks good
Men of culture meet again
I have a mini Ed 😂
Wombat bar only good if your from aussie
@@paulmullen4040 The mini car is so small. Great little car. Before their time
Cheers Eddie. Thanks for sharing mate.
Thanks, Oncall
Jomtein is an excellent place to live. 120 baht for the taxi to central Pattaya or if you want to cheap out 10 baht with the bus yeah.
that room looks a dump ,sorry mate ,wouldnt be suprised if it had bed bugs
Its great for the price ,and Eddy is not one of the 2 week millionaires .
This is the way inexpensive places look in Thailand, a little functional.
Looks OK for a night or 2. Beyond that, it would be quite depressing. Unless you're always outside, and just need a place to sleep & shower. I do like the spacious balcony.
A good place to take the ladies back too!!!
@@MikeHoncho884 Yeah if you're a serial killer or something.
Or you could do a bit less whoring and stay somewhere half decent.
I was impressed by this video. Jomtien looks like my kinda place!
Nice video Eddy, and it's got me sold on Jomtien. I think the seediness of Pattaya can get you down after a while. Hope you are feeling 100% better again soon.
Thankyou
Thanks for the tour Eddy! The Wombat Kiwi bar is great. The food as you stated is exceptional and of high quality. The owner Steve does a great job, place is really clean and the girls are easy on the eyes.
Good place
Thanks for letting us know that Steve.
Thanks Eddie, great vid. Jomtien seems like a pretty good option these days.
Cheers, mate
To have the best life in Jomtien, where your staying is so important. Once you’ve found accommodation that is comfortable, it makes all the difference to your lifestyle! Having traveled to over 50 countries and lived a long time in a few, it’s hard to beat in affordability, convenience and ticks all the boxes 😊
I'm sure you're having a good life there. Well done, Roy.
Loved this video Edd, food looked very appetizing 👏
Thankyou
Congrats on 50K subscribers!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Well done Ed cannot wait to next video food looked nice
Hats off to you Eddy, you definitely a mentally tough guy living like that, I will stick to working and holidays
Eddie's Hairdo is brilliant 😂
Looks nice in Jomtien never been there the food looks nice as well, thank you for the video my friend. 👍
It's well worth a visit
9:58 Ed finally reveals his secret identity!😂😂
I don't think so, stumbled on it accidentally. Probably shat himself.
Good to see youre back in Pattaya hope you enjoy it as much as i would 😉 cheers🍻
Eddy every time I hear your voice it brings a smile to my face. Love watching your videos.
Cheers, mate
Do you also touch yourself while listening?
@@SlimGlynn1 lol.
Slim when you move out of your moms basement I’ll answer your question
@@SlimGlynn1Your comment tells a lot about what sort of individual you are.
Good stuff, Eddie.
Congratulations! 50k subs well deserved. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much!!
👍👍👍 Another enjoyable show. Congrats on reaching 50k
Thank you so much 😀
Congrats on the 50k mate.
Thanks, mate
Yes. It's a great place for retirement and a stone throw from Pattaya.
Love these little mooches good to see Ed
ed i bet the ladys where impressed with that room you stayed in lol
Its probably 100 better than the room they share with 5 others .
@@anthonydowling3356 That's a Fact That's a Fact !!!!!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣
They’re just happy to have snagged such a han$um man … 😂
It's probably nicer than the boarding house he lived in the UK.
I'm sure they don't let the small matter of his basic accommodation take away from their pleasure of having a half cut geriatric English bloke with more hair on his back than his head, sweatily heaving away on top of them 🙄
I've never been there, but I always think it looks very nice there. Your hotel looks great. I'd need earplugs though probably :) Like the nice chill out music you use in your videos. Haven't had time to look at youtube recently, but will be checking in more in the future. All the best !
Eastern Economic Corridor. Speed train, U-Tapao airport expansion. Look what they are demolishing & what they are building new. Change is coming fast & be interesting to see how it looks in 5 years.
Hi, Eddy. Glad you went to the wombat. And Kiwi bar. I'd also been there on my last trip to Thailand, Good food, good service. Cheers Eddy 😊
Good place
I stayed on the edge of Jomtien back in the Fall and quite enjoyed it.
got good memories of Jomtien, great place.
You deserve a better room, mate! 🙏
O no he doesnt
It’s a dump
Have a good time in Pattaya Ed.
Hope you pace yourself with the ladies.
Congratulations on your 50000subscribers Eddie. Glad you enjoyed jomtien.
Thanks so much! Hope to see you this week, Andrew
Better there than here eddy ; would love to be there in the sun , enjoy my friend .
Thanks 👍
do they still fold the beach chairs two days a week ?
Went over to Jomtien for a day for the first time when we were in Pattaya last January , really impressed with it 👍
Ahhh, hands down my fave kind of Steddy Eddy Video - the classic hotel room review.
😂
That little place you stayed looks ok Ed. Id stay there. Just don’t touch the wires 😂
I made the mistake of staying a bit too close to where the massage boys are when I was there 😂
Genuine MISTAKE 🤠🤠🤠🤔
I always stay at Jomtien when I visit Pattaya. Very laid back and relaxed. Lovely beach. Cheap hotels. Pattaya only 20 mins away.
Same old same old
Price of beer food,hotels girls
Come on give something different
These type of videos have been done to death😉
Unfortunately there is nothing else, Just like any touristy place they are all a one trick pony everywhere in the world .
With all of Ed's TH-cam wealth I am surprised at his lower priced accommodation's. I think he does it to appeal to the rest of us common folks
It’s a complete dog box, but very cheap. Eddy personifies Cheap Charlie … 🎉
Jomtien is where the boys go, been that way for decades.
those steps would put me off, but the place looks very nice indeed, but the roadworks would put me right off staying there.. also the food looks fantastic.. cheerz eddie
Very very very efficient room. Very nice kettle. YES. Everything you could need. And everything works as it should. Brilliant Eddie 😁
Eddy, to get the baht bus to Pattaya you've just got to walk up to Thappraya/ Jomtien 2nd rd.
at 8:32 I was just waiting for Eddi Reader, she of FAIRGROUND ATTRACTION, to start singing ".....from the top....of the bus...." lol. Check out her brilliant song Patience of Angels, dead-ringer for that haunting bass-line. Anyways......Jomtien....smashing place. I've always considered it as a potential base for semi-retirement giving you the best of both worlds with Pattaya just a hop skip and a jump away....if you'll pardon the pun. I've stayed in rooms like that, perfectly acceptable, but I do try and go a wee bit upmarket, like THE HIDEAWAY or the now defunct BOOMERANG GUEST HOUSE( which was fantastic and well-run.)Luv the vids EDDY keep up the good work mate.
U r a legend ❤
Wishing you good luck for saturday eddie, sure youll be back making videos b4 u know it💪💪
When we went to Pattaya we never went to Jomitein and I’m sorry we didn’t it looks nice.
The balcony is alright
Do you think everything will get better ?
Nice looking beach
Do you pay cash or a card for the room for the whole week in advance?
Cash for this one
Good video Eddie. I need to spend a bit of time in Jomtien myself. Wombat bar is good and is well run and friendly.
Re the beach at the top end, yes I believe it has traditionally been a hang out place for gay males!.
Jomtien for me is like the smaller version of Pattaya so usually a few weeks at Pattaya then another few in Jomtien to chillout and far better place to swim in.
Get yourself down to only fools and horses bar soi 11 bukhaou tonight, nice complex of bars😂
All you have to do is walk a block out of your way to catch the Baht Buss back to Pattaya.Your place is halfway to second road already. Why all the unnecessary complaining?
i went to the Bullet Bar in Jomtien, lively little scene
I've spared myself from anything Chonburi my last three visits. If a bullet was forced to my head, I'd do Jomtien over Pattaya. I'm fortunate with free will and don't venture there.
Nothing wrong with that hotel Eddy. Hot shower, roof doesn't leak, no bugs and A/C whats not to like. May give Jontien a whirl next time around.
How's the heatwave Eddie?
omg Ed you pick some shitholes to stay in ffs there is better by a mile for the that money.
your money your choice.
traditional sunday roast really? well ive never seen a baked tomato on a sunday roast before
So let us all know the name of the better places for the same price please?
@@nigel4776 sutus court,opey de place,chabba hut all have pools and all 600thb a night and 5k a month.
hope this helps
@@deanotaylor6840Dean.you can't get any of them hotels for 5k a month pal. No way hose and I live here pal.🤔
@@user-hg1sh5hk5f 15k pal sorry and i live in pattaya as well on arunothai for the last 6 years
I use to stay in rooms like that but not anymore. I've stayed in some great apartments via AirBnB for £30 per night in Portugal and Morocco recently.
The room had a nice kettle 😂
I prefer Rhyl….nice beach and there is an Aldi now..for cheap beer and the beach is opposite..
How much AC did you need to sleep? How much per unit?
Land at a new condo in couple days in jomtien 🎉 keep missin out bumping into u for 🍻🍻😂
Can you please display prices in pounds sometimes Eddy! You are English and you have a lot of English followers. I have recommended your channel to dozens of fellow English men and women, so it would be nice to see the odd price displayed in pounds please.
I NEVER see an American displaying pound prices on his or her videos.
Americans have smart photos just like we do to convert currencies!
Thank you!
Nice clip Eddy, feel better soon. Notice ya did not have your hat on, sun might of got to you pal
that dinner was tremendous
Nothing wrong with the room. I’ve stayed in a lot worse. It had everything I require. Massage shop over the road. Price is great. Near the beach. Baht bus to central pattaya. Perfect
each to there own,
Totally agree
Exactly
I stayed right next door last year to that guest house you’re in Eddy, The Thai Orchid, was fine and similar price, I was fortunate that there was no hanging cables outside my balcony and I didn’t experience any noise but too far away from Soi 7 and decent nightlife and with that Baht bus one way be a nightmare, only one Go Go in Jomtien I believe and that’s The Viper opposite Country Road.
Looks good Eddy, you should give Koh Chang a few days.
If you watch his videos he's been there more than once
@@philipnapier3585 I need a current update on the place, its changed a bit since the plague.
Thats defiantly the Boys Town soi in Jomtien even though I am not a visitor to that location. Soi 5 and 7 are the usual haunts for girls and Rompo market across second road. I do like the Wombat and Kiwi bar too. Give me Jomntien over Central Patts any day.
I have ONLY stayed in Jomtien. For 20 years. Never ever tried staying in Pattaya. But I got fed up, to be honest.
Will it go round in circles?
Missed u by 2 weeks Eddie, jomtien walking street? If u turn right halfway down u will be in no doubt if it's boys town or not.😅. Nowhere near as busy as I remember, heat was oppressive, I in Chiang mai now @ weather very good now,2 days of rain have transformed the place. 😊
It’s low season now… not much going on. See ya in November 😊
Cheers pal
Really Jomtien and Pattaya are effectively two different towns. I've spent time relaxing on the beach in Jomtien and found it so relaxing after the mayhem of Pattaya. I'd consider retiring there if my circumstances allowed. Not sure I'd be eating sunday roasts in 40c heat though Eddy. Nothing wrong with Hotel California by the way!! ;)
Hotel California is one of the greatest records ever. But I do not want to hear it ever ever ever again!
so where do you get the baht bus back to pattaya now its a one way street
You have to hop on a baht bus and stay on it until it goes to second rd
Jomtien and the one way traffic system reminds me of the lyrics in the Billy Joel's song " We Didn't Start the Fire. " Rock and Rollers, Cola Wars, I can't take it anymore. "
Whats the condition of the beach ?
Plenty of sand .They widened it .Water though just a little cleaner than Pattaya .
Beautiful stuff Eddy. Nice little hotel room, massage places for a bit of rompy pompy on your doorstep and plenty of dining options and nightlife. What more does a man need.
Intelligence
A rope and a stool in about 6 months if he's not careful. That afternoon into night drinking, ST's then back to your flop house rinse and repeat can actually get super depressing very quickly. I spent 3 months in Pattaya in my late 20's following a break up and the first 2 weeks were amazing and cathartic but by month 3 I'd lost all sense of normal behaviour. When you go for a soapy on Christmas morning you might need a quiet word with yourself
@@willsmith39 It's far better than being stuck in the UK married to a fat ageing 60-something y/o and going to the local social club for entertainment on a Saturday night. Different if you've been together since you were young, but for the single gentlemen out there this lifestyle is far more appealing.
@@bangkokbert3440 😂😂 and that's what she said!
No I hear you mate and I don't disagree but I do think eddy needs to watch the alcohol intake and get himself some sort of hobby other than traveling in circles and a bit of mongering. Rent an apparentment longer term somewhere a bit away from the madness, join a gym or swimming club or friggin lawn bowls but just other distractions with some social interactions with people his own age that aren't horizontal and transactional
Keep it steady.
You write buuks as well!
I like to explore these side streets.
I have done a previous video a few months ago
You do sound I bit under the weather. I hope you feel better soon. Ive always heard a fifth of whiskey would kill any virus but you may have other problems the next day.
Ed enjoying your travels and looking forward to your settling in Siem Reap, one of my all time favorite places in all of Asia. As a published author and man about town, think about springing for a better quality higher resolution camera. Otherwise it cheapens your Vids and makes them less watchable. Just saying.
Viper Bar is a Go Go bar Eddie. And yes, Walking Street is where the Batty Boys hang out. If you walk to the beach and turn right, that area of the beach is the gay beach too. I think Pratumnak would be a better place to stay, in between Pattaya and Jomtien.
Hi mate, i wish you had said you was in Jomtien we could have met for a few beers, Jomtien is 100% the place to live, cant see me going back to Pattaya to live again
I thought you were in Hua Hin.
Jump on a baht bus to Pattaya=stay in Pattaya. Easier just going there for an arvo for a look instead.
Jomptien doesn't do too much for me but you'd get sick of Pattaya as well. They are both relatively cheap for a tourist areas, and no doubt you could find somewhere nice a few streets back closer to the hills. All pretty close by either way, easy on the baht bus or walk.
Always good to book one night only, then can confirm the place is acceptable and in a decent location.
