Pattaya: October 2024, from Monday 14th to Friday 25th
Hi guys,
Hope your are all well and hitting them down the middle of the fairways. It is that time of the year again that we need to start thinking seriously about the annual trip to Pattaya, Thailand this year. If you are chasing it online, I have obtained the price list for the Baybreeze Hotel (now renamed ‘The One Hotel Baybreeze Pattaya). Unfortunately, like everything else, room rates have increased slightly, and breakfast costs have increased by 9 baht.
There are other categories of rooms available this year, like a “superior” room which is slightly bigger than the deluxe and Balcony 2 sq m. with a room rate between the Deluxe and Balcony rooms, and a Junior suite which I imagine would be suitable for a family.
Room prices in Thai Baht for 2024
De luxe: 1500 – 9800 p/w | Balcony 1800 – 1900 p/w | Superior 1600 – 10500 p/w – Junior Suite 2000 – 13300 p/w
The game days
Also attached is the first draft of an itinerary of the golf courses that we could pay, these rates again have risen, and unfortunately we have two playing days 14th and 23 of October that fall on Public Holidays this year. Following the success of the game against Durty Nellies last year we have again scheduled a 4 BBB event against their group this year on the second Tuesday 22nd October.
I was looking to play one of the Siam courses on the Wednesday following this game as a lot of the players took this day as a rest day, but as mentioned this is a holiday and the rates are even more expensive. Maybe another year.
I am hoping that some of the courses will lower rates as the low season continues and adjustments will be made to keep the costs to the minimum as well as play-maintained golf courses.
As usual, you can come for two weeks, the first or 2nd week, or any day that you choose, just let me know when you decide on your travel arrangements.
Let me know also If you require a room booking at the Baybreeze, with your desired room type, you can let me know your room number from last year if it was suitable to your needs, and I will contact P’jow (manager) to make a booking for that room if not already booked.
It is a little over six months to the start of our tour and time will pass quickly, so I would suggest you do a dummy run on airline bookings and let me know your proposed arrival, departure, and game days sooner rather than later so that we can tie down rooms and courses early.
All the best and hope to hear from you soon, by email whether you will be attending this year or having a rest.
If you know of any other interested players, have them email me so I can include them in future correspondence.
This is a first draft. Things can change, I keep you posted.
Cheers
Stephen Peters
