Pattaya's Hidden Gem: Uncover V Style North Beach Paradise!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Pattaya's… well, hidden gem. They call it "Uncover V Style North Beach Paradise!" and after spending a few days there, I’m ready to spill the tea (and hopefully, snag a few more complimentary pineapple smoothies). SEO be damned, this is going to be real.
First Impressions & Getting There: Accessibility (and My Own Clumsiness)
Getting to North Pattaya is a breeze. Now, I'm usually a walking disaster – constantly tripping over air – but the location itself is pretty darn accessible. The hotel isn't smack-bang in the middle of all the, uh, "excitement," which is a huge plus. Easy to get to by taxi (or Grab, because let's be modern.) The building itself? Not bad, but… let's talk about the "Accessibility" stuff, huh? I'm not in a wheelchair, but I'm a total klutz. Finding ramps and elevators is crucial. I think they've got the basics covered (Elevator, which is a win!), but I didn't see a ton of explicit wheelchair-friendly things. More on this later, I’ll try and find out.
Let's Talk Internet, Baby! (Because We All Need It)
Okay, here’s the vital intel: FREE Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise be! And, I kid you not, it actually works. Unlike some hotels where you're left with a signal weaker than my willpower after a cheesecake binge. You also have Internet access – LAN if you're into that old-school wired thing. No judging here. Internet services are definitely available, including the usual stuff. Frankly, I'm not going to test it. All I know is, I spent a perfect evening binge, watching cat videos.
Rooms: Safe, Soundproof, and… Seriously Comfortable?
They call them "V Style" – maybe because they're Very, Very, Very nice? My room had Air conditioning (essential in Pattaya, trust me), Blackout curtains (bliss), Air conditioning, and a bed I could've happily lived in (and almost did). Soundproof rooms? YES. Which is crucial if you, like me, value your beauty sleep and aren't a fan of noisy neighbors! Other things that really got me was Complimentary tea and Free bottled water. I am pretty sure they had Mirror and Hair dryer too.
The Cleanliness & Safety Stuff: Are They Serious About This?
Look, let's be real: these days, cleanliness is everything. And V Style… they seem to be on it. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays – all the buzzwords are there, and, more importantly, it felt clean. I'm not a germaphobe, but I'm also not trying to catch anything on vacation. Their Hand sanitizer stations are everywhere. They let you Room sanitization opt-out available. I mean, even if you think they’re not doing it, at minimum, they are pretending they are, which is reassuring. And here's a great point: Staff trained in safety protocol.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: My Stomach's Journal
Oh, the food! Asian breakfast? Check. Western breakfast? Check. Breakfast [buffet]? Check. I gorged myself on both. They had Coffee/tea in restaurant and a Poolside bar where the cocktails flowed freely. My favorite part was the Salad in restaurant! Perfect after a day of sunbathing. I am pretty sure I spotted Desserts in restaurant. The food was delicious! Especially the Bottle of water!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: My Personal Spa Day!
Alright, this is where V Style REALLY shines. Swimming pool? Yep, and a beautiful one with a Pool with view. They have a Spa, a Sauna, and a Steamroom. I made the ultimate mistake and booked a Body scrub, followed by a Massage. Honestly, I think I left a piece of my soul there. It was that good. The Foot bath was a nice touch too. They a Fitness center as well.
Let’s Talk About the "Hidden" Part: The Vibe
This isn't the crazy, frenetic Pattaya you might be picturing. It's calmer, quieter, more… refined (dare I say?). There is also a Shrine, which is pretty cool. This is perfect for couples, families, or anyone who just wants to escape the chaos for a while.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
They have a Concierge (helpful!), Daily housekeeping (yay!), Laundry service (very important!), Luggage storage, and a convenience store. I didn't use the Ironing service – because wrinkles are my aesthetic – but it’s there! There's also a Doorman. Very friendly!
For the Kids
I did not bring any kids with me to V Style, but I think it is Family/child friendly.
Getting Around
They offer Airport transfer. Also Car park [free of charge]. Some Car power charging station. I had to ask for the Taxi service.
The Nitty Gritty: Pricing, Booking, and My Final Verdict
Alright, here’s the deal: V Style isn't the cheapest place in town, but you are getting what you're paying for. The amenities, the service, the relaxed vibe… it’s worth it.
My Takeaway
Pattaya's "Hidden Gem: Uncover V Style North Beach Paradise!" is a winner. It's clean, comfortable, has great amenities, and offers a seriously relaxing escape. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into… Pattaya North Beach! And by "diving," I mean potentially stumbling, maybe face-planting a little, and definitely sweating profusely. This is gonna be less "polished travel brochure" and more "diary of a slightly sunburnt maniac." Let's GO!
Pattaya North Beach: A Week of Living (and Possibly Losing) My Mind
Day 1: Arrival and the Sizzle of Sweat (and Doubt)
- Morning (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport. The humid, glorious, sticky embrace of Thailand! Honestly, the air feels thicker than a politician’s promises. Successfully navigated customs (phew!), which involved a frantic search for my passport that nearly resulted in a full-blown airport meltdown. Airport taxi to the hotel in Pattaya North. Driver went whizzing past what looked like a perfectly good beach, I couldn't decipher the route but was too exhausted to care. All I wanted at this point was a cold shower and a nap.
- Mid-Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Hotel "The Golden Sunbeam Resort" (or something equally flowery). Turns out the "sea view" is more "glimpse of sea between building." Rude, and for the price I paid on booking.com which now feels more like bookingNOTcom. Room… acceptable. AC works, which is the only thing that matters right now. Showered. Felt marginally less like a walking swamp creature.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Walked the streets to find a decent place to eat something. Found decent enough restaurant, the smells of the local cuisine was great, but still felt lost. Ordered Pad Thai. It was… Pad Thai. Not the best I've ever had, not the worst, but the fact that it was Pad Thai was enough at this point. Feeling the jet lag hit hard.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Tried to nap. Failed. Too many noisy motorbikes zipping past. Decided to embrace the chaos and wandered down to the beach anyway. Found North Beach! The water looked inviting, but also… slightly murky? Took a tentative dip. It was warm, at least. Watched some local kids playing beach volleyball. Their energy is infectious. I will never have that stamina.
- Evening (5:00 PM - onwards): Sunset stroll along the beach. It was actually beautiful, despite the vendors hawking everything from grilled corn to knock-off sunglasses. Ate dinner at a beachfront restaurant. The food was decent, but the real star was the view and the sea breeze. Had a Chang beer that the server almost spiled on my as he was trying to juggle two full glasses. Bed by 10 PM. Jet lag is a beast.
Day 2: Beach Bumming, Bargaining, and the Search for the Perfect Mango Sticky Rice
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Woke up feeling slightly less like a zombie. Breakfast at the hotel. The buffet was surprisingly good (and thankfully included fresh fruit). Spent the morning lounging on North Beach. Tried to read my book, but kept getting distracted by the scenery. So many beautiful people! And so many vendors! A woman tried to sell me a matching pair of sunglasses and bucket hats and I almost agreed just to make her stop.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Ventured out to find some lunch, got convinced by the smell of fried rice. Tried to bargain for a better price, failed miserably. Paid full price, felt ripped off but didn't want to make a scene. Still, the fried rice was delicious.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Explored some of the side streets near the beach. Found a cute little shop selling colourful trinkets. Bought some souvenirs (probably overpriced, again). Decided this was the place to test my bargaining skills. A vendor told me the price was 120 baht for the "lucky elephant" keychain, which was clearly inflated. Tried to get it for 50 baht, failed, settled on 80 baht. Victory! Then I remembered I didn't even want the keychain, it was more of a test of my grit.
- Mango Sticky Rice Mission: This became the main focus of the afternoon. Asked every local I could find where the BEST mango sticky rice was. Got a dozen different answers. The search for the perfect mango sticky rice is now my life's calling.
- Evening (5:00 PM - onwards): Evening at a local market. Lots of cheap eats so I could enjoy the mango sticky rice. Ate a portion of what might have been one of the best mango sticky rice I have ever tasted. The mango was ripe, the rice was perfect, the sauce was sweet. I took a bite, I almost started crying! I finally got what I wanted! Watched the sunset from the beach and reflected on the meaning of life.
Day 3: Island Hopping (and Sun Tan Fails)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Booked a day trip to Koh Lan. Sunscreened up like I was preparing for nuclear winter. Or, you know, a normal sunny day that wouldn't end up with me looking like a lobster. Found a group of loud, overly enthusiastic tourists next to me on the boat.
- Mid-Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Island Hopping! Did some snorkelling and it was okay. The water was nice, the fish were pretty. There were so many people in the water it looked like a human soup, at least I'm not alone. Got a bit seasick. My stomach is not friends with boats.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Beachside restaurant on Koh Lan. Grilled fish (delicious!) but my skin was still a shade of pink that I can't decide if it's attractive or not.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Messed up by trying to tan on the beach. Fell asleep. Woke up feeling like a boiled lobster. The sun is a merciless enemy, and I am a foolish, pale victim.
- Evening (5:00 PM - onwards): Back to Pattaya. Went back to the hotel. I was in serious need of some aloe vera and a long, cold shower. Tried to eat dinner at a nice restaurant; the waiter stared at my sunburn and I tried to cover it up as best as possible. After dinner at the hotel I went to bed ready for another day.
Day 4: Temple Visits and Culinary Adventures (and Perhaps, a Few Regrets)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Decided to be a bit more cultured today. Visited the Sanctuary of Truth. Wow. Just… wow. The architecture is stunning, intricate, and mind-boggling. Climbing the steps was a challenge as I was still getting used to navigating them.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Found a restaurant to eat at after visiting the Sanctuary of Truth. Had some spring rolls and they were great!
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Visited Wat Phra Yai (Big Buddha Hill). Climbing the steps was a workout, especially with the sun beating down. The Buddha is magnificent, and the views from up there are breathtaking. Felt a sense of calm, but also a sinking feeling knowing that I was probably going to burn myself.
- Evening (5:00 PM - onwards): Decided to try more local food. Tried some street food I was feeling braver. Ate some weird, spicy noodle soup. My mouth is now on fire (in a good way, I think?). Also stumbled upon a night market and ate some more street food. Had a beer and people watched. Went back to the hotel feeling full and happy.
Day 5: Spa Day and the Quest for Inner Peace (and Maybe a Foot Massage)
- Morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Spa time! Decided to get a Thai massage. It was intense, incredibly painful and then amazing. My muscles are screaming (literally!). Felt… slightly more relaxed.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Ate a light lunch at a cafe. Coffee and a salad. Trying to be healthy.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Spent the afternoon relaxing by the pool. Finally read my book.
Pattaya's Secret Stash: Unveiling V Style North Beach Paradise (Or, You Know, Trying To!)
Okay, Okay, V Style North Beach. What *is* it? And Why Should I Care?
Alright, buckle up, buttercup, because the official answer is basically: a quieter, less chaotic corner of Pattaya. Think a little slice of chill, tucked away *north* of the main drag. V-Style, apparently, is the *style* – or, well, a name given to the stretch. It's meant to be less... well, Pattaya. The real reason? I went searching after a particularly harrowing experience with jet skis on the main beach. Let’s just say I'm now wary of anything with an engine that's not a reliable motorcycle. Plus, frankly, I was *itching* for a decent sunset without a throng of tourists elbowing their way into my Instagram feed. So, yeah, care? You might, if you're craving a break from the madness. Or, like me, you just need a place to decompress while muttering to yourself about beach umbrella etiquette.
Important Disclaimer: "Paradise" is a *strong* word. It's Pattaya. Expect a degree of imperfection. Expect, say, a stray dog eyeing your fried rice. It’s charm is that it's real, not photoshopped.
How do I *get* to this elusive V Style North Beach? My GPS hates me.
Ah, the pilgrimage! Forget the Google Maps, my friend. It's Pattaya. GPS is a *suggestion*, maybe a polite whisper. Here’s the deal: Head *north* past the main beach, past the usual chaos. Keep going. Like, really keep going. You'll start to see – and FEEL – the difference. The throngs thin out. The noise dials down. I usually catch a songthaew (the red trucks) and just tell the driver "North Beach". Haggle a bit; they *know* you’re trying to escape the tourist vortex. Alternatively, rent a scooter – just, you know, *drive cautiously*. The drivers aren’t always the most… predictable. Seriously, though. Keep your eyes peeled. And maybe wear a helmet. I’m not your mother.
Insider Tip: Look for the signs to Wong Amat Beach (and the *real* Wong Amat Beach. Keep going!). Then sort of... keep going a little further. Trust me. It's not *that* hard. Unless you’re like me and have a shocking sense of direction. Then, just ask a local. They’ll point you in the right direction after they stop laughing.
What’s the Beach Like? Does it come with a complimentary side of garbage? (I’m not even joking.)
Okay, so the beach. *Deep breath.* Let's be real: it's Pattaya. Perfection is a myth. You're not getting the pristine sands of the Maldives. You’re getting Pattaya, with its own kind of gritty charm. The sand is… well, it’s sand. Sometimes it's a little... pebbly. Sometimes it's been tidied up, sometimes it's been left a little… "lived-in." I saw a guy cleaning the beach once. I'm just hoping he wasn't an illusion.
The Garbage Question: It’s better than central Pattaya. MUCH better. But, yeah, you might spot a stray plastic bottle or two. It’s a sad reality of travel, folks. Pack a small bag to collect your own trash and pick up something extra. It's the least we can do. Seriously, it makes a difference. And, honestly, it makes me feel a little less guilty about all the ice cream cones I consume.
My Personal Beach Assessment: The water's generally clearer than the main beach. Good for paddling and swimming (but maybe don’t go full-on marathon swimmer). And, most importantly for me, the *vibe*. It's calmer. Less… intense. You can actually hear the waves instead of the incessant thump of music from a nearby bar. Bliss.
Is there anything to *do* there besides, you know, *be* there? I'm easily bored.
This is where it gets interesting. "Things to do" in V Style North Beach is less about organized activities and more about, um, embracing the *lack* of organized activities. Consider this a feature, not a bug.
Here's the lowdown:
- Sunbathing: Obvious. Find a spot. Lay down. Get some vitamin D. Don't forget the sunscreen. (Yes, I've learned the hard way.)
- Swimming: The water’s usually pretty decent for a dip.
- Eating: There are some lovely, small, generally family-run restaurants. The food is generally cheaper and more authentic than the tourist traps. I had the most *amazing* pad thai from a little place right on the sand once. Absolutely, unbelievably good. I still dream about it. The *flavors*… They were… Ugh, just go and find a restaurant!
- Sunset Watching: Utterly, utterly essential. Grab a Chang beer, a coconut, or a plate of fried calamari (if you're feeling fancy). Watch the sky turn into a canvas of fire. It’s something to remember.
- Walking: Some trails along the waterfront. A nice way to explore the nearby areas.
- Massages: Beachside massages are almost compulsory. It’s a Thai experience.
Pro Tip For the Bored: This is the perfect spot to attempt to read a book. I, personally, fail miserably, but I still keep trying. The rhythmic crashing of the waves + the heat = instant nap. Don’t fight it.
Food! What should I *eat*? My stomach is a bottomless pit.
Ah, the crucial question! Food is a *big* part of the V Style North Beach experience. You can’t go wrong with the basics: pad thai (obviously), fried rice, green curry. But look for the smaller, more local places. Prices are generally much better, and the food is often *far* more flavorful. I once stumbled into a tiny little shack, barely more than a few tables under a bamboo roof, and had the most spectacular seafood. (I suspect they caught it *that morning*. I'm still not sure how it had all the flavor. Maybe the magic of the Thai sun?).
Food Recommendations (My Personal Gospel):
- Seafood: Look for anything fresh. Grilled fish, whole prawns, the works.
- Pad Thai (Again!): Because seriously, you can’t get enough.
- Tom Yum Soup: A spicy, sour, and utterly delicious soup. A perfect antidote to the heat.
- Fresh Fruit Smoothies: For when you want to hydrate and feel virtuous all at once.
- Mango Sticky Rice: The quintessential Thai dessert. OrderSearch Hotel GuideV Style Pattaya North Beach Pattaya Thailand
