Water Park by Fantasea Beach

It’s a cozy place at a good price. The rooftop pool is especially nice, and you can look up at the sky at night.

The pool is nice, and there’s a sauna and gym that are decent too. The sunbeds are worn out, but you can spread your towel on the artificial grass. The complex is busy and crowded, with a bit of a student dorm feel. It’s in the Russian market area, close to plenty of good places to eat, coffee shops, and convenience stores. An okay place to stay. You might run into some strange residents sometimes, though I guess that’s normal in Pattaya.

The condo has a ground-level pool and a rooftop pool, plus a gym, and it’s a decent place for the price. The apartment is a little worn but not too bad. The bathroom had a slight smell at night for some reason, so if you’re staying a while, an air freshener might help. My biggest problem was mail delivery: the postman couldn’t find the condo twice, and I had to drive to the post office to collect the package. The beach is a 15-minute walk, and there’s a small market with fresh vegetables and meat five minutes away.

This is an Air BNB, and I’m here for a month. Nice pools and gym, plus rooftop stargazing and sunset views, lol, when it isn’t raining.
