Leaving real life behind, setting it aside, today there is no signal, running after it to nowhere... Sitting and listening for a long time, I stumbled upon a sentence:
There is time for the heart and the wind to greet each other, to open the way for the sunlight and the body to meet...
This sentence immediately triggered the desire to change the mattress. It's been a long time since I've been able to relax and enjoy a slow life with just my wife. We usually bring our daughter along.
Going with them is a lot of work each time. Between preparing supplies, food, and toys, I barely get any rest. I'm busy with my daughter all day, and even though I don't go to bed late, she wakes up very early.
To the point where there is barely any time to rest at all.
All of this led to the origin of this trip, having to sit and find accommodation that meets the criteria of my wife, which are: close travel, delicious food, by the sea and with a beach.
And most importantly, it must be a resort style. The room must be clean because she is allergic to dust. At first, I thought of the zone Cha-am, Hua Hin, Koh Samet, Koh Lan.
However, she rejected it for various reasons, such as it being too far, having to go there frequently, not wanting to take a boat, and finding it difficult to find food. Until she showed me a picture, which was of U Pattaya.
She thought for a moment and said she wanted to go to Pattaya, but then it was over.
We set off in the late morning on a weekday. The previous night, it was almost 1 am before I finished my shift. I showered and went to bed, and when I looked at the clock, it was already 3 am. The life of a working person is really tiring. I asked to sleep in late and then pack my things. I drove to Pattaya, leaving Bangkok near Ratchaphruek around 10 am.
The traffic is light today, so I can listen to music and drive to Pattaya at a leisurely pace. We'll arrive around noon, just in time for lunch. This trip is all about indulging my wife's wishes. She can choose any restaurant she wants and do whatever she wants.
Let her choose.
CR = The Glass House Restaurant / Rim Pha Lapin Restaurant / Preecha Seafood
SR = Superior Sea View U Pattaya + Breakfast
The Glass House Pattaya
The restaurant that my wife chose is a famous restaurant in Pattaya. It has been famous for a long time. When I asked her why she chose this restaurant, she said that she saw it on Wongnai and it said that it was delicious and
The atmosphere is good, the price is not very expensive, the reason is acceptable and it is a convenient route. The shop is not difficult to find. Just follow Google Maps. The shop is divided into
3 zones: indoor, outdoor, and beach zone. I chose to sit outside to enjoy the sea breeze. Today, there weren't many people, and it was a weekday, so it wasn't crowded. The food arrived quickly and the portions were very large. The menu I ordered was:
Spicy and sour sea bass curry, the taste is strong, personally I think it's delicious and the portion is big.
Squid with egg yolk: The squid was fresh, but I didn't like the way it was marinated in butter. It was a bit too rich for my taste. The dipping sauce wasn't spicy enough for me either.
The salmon laab was delicious and well-balanced, with no fishy aftertaste. This dish was a real winner.
Three dishes with a blended fruit juice cost a little over a thousand baht, which is acceptable and not too expensive.
After finishing our meal, we headed straight to our accommodation. We agreed to get some rest and then head out for dinner in the evening.
Why U Pattaya?
The main reason for choosing to stay here is that I wanted a boutique resort style accommodation that was private, quiet, and not too busy. It was important that it was located by the sea with a beach, and most importantly, that it was suitable for relaxing and adding sweetness to my married life. Come along and see if this place can meet the needs of a young couple like me.
1. When we go on vacation, we all want to stay at the hotel for as long as possible to get the most value for our money. When booking with the hotel, it was stated that check-in was at 4 pm, and upon arrival, we could immediately enter the room. Staying at a hotel in the U chain allows you to stay for the full day. This is an unparalleled advantage, which is:
Check-in is available 24 hours a day, but advance notice is required and subject to room availability. This is the main reason why I chose this place.
2. This is perfect for people who wake up very late and couples who can't handle waking up early. 55 As for me, I prefer to eat downstairs in the dining room because I get to change the atmosphere, meet people, and most importantly, I can order as much as I want and refill it as much as I want. There is also a wide variety of food.
For breakfast, we can choose to eat anywhere, anytime, but not after 10 pm.
3. There are free bicycles to ride and free Wi-Fi. During my visit, I skipped this because the weather was very hot and I couldn't ride. However, if it were in the evening, riding along Bangsaen Beach would be another kind of romantic. As for the Wi-Fi in the room, this place failed. The signal was not good at all, it kept going on and off. But in the common areas, dining room, and swimming pool, there was no problem.
4. Choose your own pillows, soap, and tea. You can also choose one item from the minibar each. This may seem like a small thing to some, but I think it's great. They let you choose what you want, how you want to sleep, and what you want to eat. You're in control. You could say that this place doesn't take advantage of its customers.
Getting to the hotel is easy. Just open Google Maps and you won't get lost. I can confirm that. The hotel is located right next to Bang Saen Beach.
Upon entering, the parking lot will be on the right-hand side, while the lobby is on the left. You will also see the iconic spiral staircase, a symbol of Pattaya. Anyone who sees it will instantly recognize it as the location of the
U PATTAYA
LOBBY
The lobby of this place is not large or extravagant. The space is just right, decorated with natural materials that look stylish and have corners for taking pictures.
But the real highlight of the lobby is the spiral staircase, which everyone comes to take pictures of.
And there is a camera stand for taking pictures as well. Attention to detail for photography lovers. I give it 10 stars.
The stairs you see will lead you to the rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors, which are superior Seaview rooms, and my room for today.
SUPERIOR SEAVIEW
The Superior Sea View Room has 18 rooms, located on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The room with the best view is the one closest to the stairs on the 3rd floor. The view is the most central. [Spoil] Click to see the hidden message The code is number 122. The room is in the middle of the room with a full sea view. Let's take a look at the room. As soon as you step inside, the first thing you notice is the very cold air conditioning. When you enter, the bathroom is on the left hand side, separated between the toilet and the shower room. There is a wardrobe, bathrobes, a hairdryer and two sinks so you don't have to fight over them.
Upon entering, you'll find a king-size bed, perfect for a comfortable night's sleep. The bed comes with four pillows, two firm and two soft, to suit your preference.
At the end of the bed is a sofa bed for watching the view. The room does not feel cramped, and there is a walkway on both sides of the bed for easy access.
and is a reasonable distance from the daybed.
The desk and TV are on the left-hand side, close to the mini-bar refrigerator.
The balcony outside has a jacuzzi for you to lie down and soak in the bubbles and watch the moon. Another advantage of this place is that every room has a bathtub, from the entry-level to the beachfront room, which is the highest level room here.
From the balcony, you can see the rooftop bar, restaurant, and villas below.
The highlight of the Superior Room is undoubtedly the whirlpool on the balcony, where you can watch the sunset. The front view is spectacular, but with the open view,
The downside is that it's not very private. If you look from the rooftop bar, you can clearly see what's going on in the room. So you should keep the curtains drawn.
For those who want to do personal missions, even though it's not very private, it's the room I would recommend the most. Because it's suitable for those who don't have a lot of budget and want a sea view. It's the most worthwhile option. After putting your belongings in place, the next activity is to rest. There's nothing better than this in hot weather like this. Wake up in the evening to play in the water.
Swimming pool
The atmosphere is fantastic. It's right on the beach, with a pool that stretches almost 50 meters and offers panoramic ocean views. To the right, you can see Pattaya, and to the left, Bang Saray Beach.
The unobstructed view of the beach from the front is breathtaking, and there are seats where you can relax and enjoy the sunset.
The highlight of the pool is the black swan that floats around, enjoying the view. More importantly, it's a great photo opportunity. Everyone who comes here has to take a picture with the black swan.
As for me, I have my own white duck. I took it to the pool blower brother to let it float on the water. After playing in the water to my heart's content, I asked to go up to admire the atmosphere.
Any rooftop bars?
LA VALA ROOFTOP BAR
La Vela is the name of the rooftop bar. The atmosphere is very good. The back overlooks the superior room building.
The front offers a full view of the sea.
There's nothing to stop you, so if you enjoy a light drink, don't miss out. And if you don't take a picture from above, you're wrong again.
The next room is a small conference room.
After playing in the water until we were soaked, we went back to our room to shower and change clothes. It was time to go out and find something to eat. We went to the Rim Pha Laphin restaurant.
The reason I chose this restaurant is because it is not far from my accommodation, the atmosphere is good, and I have been here once before. I ordered a moderate amount of food.
The seafood fried rice was standard in flavor, not wow.
Shrimp in fish sauce, fresh shrimp, the dipping sauce is not very spicy.
Spicy seafood spaghetti, so good, my wife approves!
Overall, I felt indifferent about the taste and was shocked by the price. This meal, with three dishes and one smoothie each, came to a total of over 9xx baht. However, the highlight was the view overlooking the curve of Jomtien Beach and the beautiful sunset, which is another great spot.
Nighttime atmosphere
Upon arriving at the accommodation, my wife went upstairs to take a shower, while I couldn't resist the urge to capture some photos in the lobby.
Papinong Restaurant
Fitness
Swimming pool
Lalela
With a few impressive photos in hand, it was time to soak in the water and relax.
Don't ask about the morning atmosphere. I told you that this trip is for relaxation. We woke up at 9:30 am, brushed our teeth, washed our faces, and went out for breakfast.
BUTTERFLY
The resort's only restaurant feels like dining under a large tree by the sea, with vines hanging down and swings suspended from the branches for guests to enjoy while they eat.
The view of the sea and the pleasant atmosphere enhance the taste of the food, making it even more delicious.
Inside is the food line and for those who don't like hot weather, you are welcome inside. The food line has a variety of types, including fruits, cereals, Thai food, Chinese food, egg stations, and international food. It can be said that it is not big but there is a complete selection to choose from. Importantly, there is also an a la carte menu. Eat until you are full. Good materials, standard taste. You can eat it to your liking.
After enjoying a hearty meal, take a break to let your food digest.
After walking back to the room, we decided to visit the spa. After resting for a while, our eyelids started to droop, so it was time to go back to our room.
Waking up in the afternoon, the weather was perfect. We turned on the water in the bathtub, put on our swimsuits, and soaked together. It was a happy time for us as parents.
After secretly escaping from her daughter to relax, she took a shower, changed her clothes, packed her bags, and it was time to say goodbye to Pattaya.
Benefit number 1 that I mentioned is that you can stay for 24 hours. Check-in at 4 pm and check-out at 4 pm the next day. However, to do this, you must call the staff in advance.
Sure, I can translate that for you. Here is the translation:
Before that, and depending on whether there are rooms available. The period I checked in is Monday, check out Tuesday, so there are rooms available. If it's Friday, Saturday, Sunday

After checking out, we didn't leave right away. Since we were already in Pattaya, we couldn't miss the opportunity to take photos at all the photo spots the resort had to offer.
Let's see if I can find all the point photos. We'll have to walk around and find them ourselves. I'm not going to tell you where they are. Haha! I want everyone who goes to walk around the whole place.
This trip is another trip where my wife has been very cooperative in taking pictures. Don't forget to find angles to pose like my model.
After taking photos all over the place, it's time to say goodbye to U Pattaya. Honestly, I'm sad and don't want to go back. I wish we could stay another night. My wife really enjoyed this trip. We got to relax, sleep comfortably, and recharge our batteries. We had more time for each other and even took some couple photos, which we rarely do. The location, atmosphere, and service here made this trip one of the happiest times we've had. Sometimes, happiness depends on the right time, place, and opportunity.
Thank you U Pattaya for giving me the opportunity to stay here this time.
Preecha Seafood
Wait, the trip isn't over yet. It's getting late before we head back. Let's find some food to eat before we go. Let's drive towards Bang Saen Beach.
Our destination is Preecha Seafood. The restaurant is located right on the road, so it's easy to find, but parking is difficult. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is very good.
I recommend coming in the late afternoon, the sunset is beautiful. The food tastes good, but the price is a bit high.
The food that was ordered
Deep-fried sea bass with fish sauce. The fish was very large and fried to a crispy exterior and tender interior. The dipping sauce wasn't quite to my liking.
The crab curry was not very fresh, the taste was bland and dry, but the seafood dipping sauce was delicious and spicy.
Fresh and sweet dressed oysters
The soup is very flavorful, not too spicy, and has a tangy, refreshing taste.
In short, Preecha Seafood offers a great atmosphere and delicious food, but the prices can be a bit shocking.
It's time to go back to reality. Tomorrow I have to go back to work, to be a salaryman selling services again. I wish I could stop time here, but I guess I can't. I can only keep the memories and happiness with me for as long as possible. Finally, thank you to everyone who read this until the end, whether intentionally or unintentionally. I just want you to open it and see the pictures. At least I want everyone to see my perspective and consider staying here. If I have to talk about what I don't like about Pattaya, it would be the price and the on-and-off Wi-Fi signal. As for the room, the atmosphere, the common area, the breakfast, the swimming pool, and most importantly the jacuzzi, I was very impressed. I want everyone to try staying here, use your holidays to the fullest, and recharge your life energy for yourself and the people around you.
