The Bayview Hotel, Pattaya

This property in Central Pattaya is one of five Sukosol hotels, three of which are in the resort city and the other two in Bangkok. It has 260 rooms and suites.

The type I stayed in came in six themes: Thai Hill Tribe (which this review is based on), Safari, Moroccan, Lai Khram (blue-and-white Chinese porcelain), Ban Chiang (an archaeological site known for a unique style of pottery) and Carnival.
