@Rockman I can also recommend Majestic Suites I've always stay there when I'm in BKK.
You are very close to Nana Plaza, actually Nana Plaza is located at the back of the hotel.
And you can also check out soi 4 with all the beer bars and restaurants.
And there is Hooters across from Nana Plaza.
The Beer Garden, Soi Cowboy and Thermae Coffee Shop are not far away.
There are many more bars and nightclubs in the area.
The hotel is located on the BTS(skytrain) line.
When are you planing to be in BKK?
You can get info on Pattaya in the Pattaya Addicts forum..
Enjoy your great adventure in Thailand..
