Welcome and enjoy. 

Good info. Thanks for sharing. Its always nice to have options during the day.

Never knew about these places. Be really interested to hear how you get on.

Be prepared for extremely close supervision. There were several suicides at Pattaya ranges a few years ago.

I've got a link to the video of the lodge and balcony, from a few days ago posted by somebody on youtube, can I post it here?

Yep. Please do. Looking at staying there next trip so would appreciate it. 

2 options that I use. I like to have the occasional cigar so a hotel with a balcony is a must for me. 

Dynasty Grande is just off Soi 4 so location is perfect. The pool view rooms have sizeable balconies.

Other option is Alt Hotel Nana. Its a little further away from Nana Plaza but they run a free TukTuk. I wrote a review here.

Good long trip. Looks like you are going to be in Pattaya for Songkran. Have fun!!

All the hotels I have been to on the past 2 trips have been over 2500 baht per night and some of them honestly do not feel like they are worth that much. What are some good hotels to look at that are also reasonably priced?

Alt Hotel Nana is a favourite of mine. There is a review here.

Just heard that it has been canned. 

Alt Hotel Nana has decent sized balconies for smoking.

Fotofile on the 5th floor of MBK has pretty much everything you could Dream of. New and some used.There are 2 other stores in MBK but the 5th floor one is the biggest.

Stayed at Alt Nana for 4 nights at the start of August in an Alt Deluxe Suite. Booked through Agoda and got it for AU$44 a night (1090THB) a night). Superior rooms are available for AU$32 (800THB a night). Smoking not allowed in some rooms but okay on balcony’s.

Its located 850 meters away from Nana Plaza. They run a free Tuktuk from about 8.00am to 2.00am.

Price i paid included breakfast for 2 people. Breakfast was a buffet, few Asian dishes, bread, fruit, tea/coffee, juices. Eggs cooked to order available on request along with ham and sausages. I took a LT down for breakfast once and there was no additional fee.

Is guest friendly. I asked if they take ID’s and they said yes. I bought 3 girls back. Only one was asked for ID. I think it depends which staff member is working reception. I found all staff to be friendly and polite.

Its not strictly a mongers hotel. As its good value for money and centrally located you do get some civilians, families and back packers staying there. I loved the look on a young backpacker couples faces as i walked out one morning with a tattoed, rather skanky Lust de jour. 

Its  split among 2 buildings. Main part housing reception is building A while Building B (about 20metres away) contains the pool and gym and other rooms.

The suite I had was clean, well furnished, good air con, decent sized safe, lots of hot water, comfortable bed etc.

Some of the furnishings are a little dated but for the money I think the place is an absolute bargain.

The website https://www.altnana.com/ has a few good package deals.
