"How much does it cost to stay in Pattaya?" is the most pressing question among tourists, especially for those planning a long stay.
Your budget and expenses will depend on your needs. If you're willing to economize and cook your own meals, staying in the resort can be relatively inexpensive.
However, if you prefer comfortable accommodations, be prepared to spend a significant amount.
Lodging and Utilities
If you are not too particular and plan to spend most of your time at the beach, super-economy guesthouses might be suitable for you. Renting an apartment with amenities will, of course, be more expensive.
