The eco-friendly, upper-middle-range Thai Garden Resort, with 227 rooms, is in a safe neighborhood in north Pattaya, just a 10-minute walk from Pattaya Beach. Contemporary Thai-Burmese style rooms have large walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads, and most have furnished terraces. But, guests of low-level garden rooms sometimes find unwanted lizards, mosquitoes, and bees. The lovely outdoor pool and kids' pool are popular with families and couples, and the on-site restaurant’s breakfast buffet offers a wide selection with excellent reviews. No spa, fitness center, or elevators are available, however. Guest should also consider the Fairtex Sports Club Hotel, with lower rates, a spa, and extensive sports facilities.
Scene
A contemporary yet traditional hotel surrounded by a large, exceptional garden
A six-acre tropical garden with beautiful statues, flowers, and manicured shrubs surrounds the peaceful Thai Garden Resort, composed of traditional white buildings with red roofs. Neutral tile and furniture bring out a modern edge in the open-air, comfortable common areas while authentic Thai statues and light fixtures harken an antique vibe. Most guests here are German and Dutch couples and families, with the occasional business traveler staying here as well.
Location
In north Pattaya, just a 10-minute walk to Pattaya Beach
The Thai Garden Resort is on an unattractive block in a safe neighborhood in northern Pattaya, across the street from the World Gems Collection. Tiffany’s Show and Art in Paradise are around a five-minute walk away, while Central Center Pattaya and Pattaya Beach are 10 minutes by foot. Central Festival and The Sanctuary of Truth, as well as Walking Street, are within a 15-minute drive, but the closest airport, Utapao International Airport, is 45 minutes away by car. Suvarnabhumi Airport is a one-hour-and-25-minute drive away.
Rooms
Modern Thai-Burmese style with rainfall showerheads; most have furnished terraces
A range of Standard Rooms are offered in addition to Bungalows and One- or Two-Bedroom Apartments, and all have a modern Thai-Burmese style that borders on bland. Light tile, pod lights, and ceilings accent the modern elements while wood tones, nature paintings, and carved art pieces have a traditional Thai feel. Mini-fridges with free bottled water are in all air-conditioned rooms, as are 32-inch flat-screen TVs and coffeemakers. Bathrobes and slippers are also provided. Most rooms have furnished terraces, some with lovely garden views.
Apartments feature separate living areas with kitchenettes including microwaves, sinks, coffeemakers, and full-size refrigerators. However, low-level rooms on the garden side have occasional lizards, bees, and mosquitoes. Light textured tile accents black countertops in the contemporary bathrooms, with large walk-in tile showers showcasing rainfall showerheads. Thai Garden Resort toiletries and soap dispensers are provided in the showers, but no rooms have tubs.
Features
Outdoor pool and kids' pool, plus a poolside bar and on-site restaurant
Couples and families frequent the big, lagoon-style outdoor pool, which is surrounded by tan lounge chairs, greenery, and stone statues. Multiple areas in the pool have massaging jets, and there is an attached kids' pool, plus a poolside bar with snacks and drinks. A la carte International and Thai cuisines are served for lunch and dinner at Lanna Coffee Shop, and there is a daily happy hour. A breakfast buffet with a large selection is also available, and is included when guests book through the hotel’s website. Computers and a printer are available in the business center, and an outside company offers on-site massages. There is no full spa, though, nor a gym.
