About us
A small agency, working only on Thailand
Thai Escape Travel is independent and deliberately narrow: Pattaya first, then other parts of Thailand as we learn them properly. We research hotels and send quotes; we do not run a booking engine.
Why we started
Because choosing a hotel in Pattaya is harder than it looks
The city has hundreds of hotels and a handful of very different neighbourhoods. Most booking sites show you a map pin and a price, and leave you to work out the rest.
We started with Pattaya because it is where the questions repeat: is Jomtien too far from the nightlife, does this hotel really sit on the beach, is a family room worth the extra. Those answers are not in a listing.
So we read the hotels' own websites, map where they actually are, and write down what each area is like. When you ask for a quote, we check availability and the rate for your dates with the hotel or our suppliers, and send it with the terms attached.
We are independent. We are not a hotel chain, we do not own any of the properties listed, and we will tell you when we do not know something rather than fill the gap with marketing copy.
How we work
What happens after you send a request
Four steps, and roughly a day between the first and the last.
- 01
You send the dates and the essentials
Check-in and check-out, adults, children, the area you prefer and a nightly budget. If you have a must-have — a pool, two beds, a room away from the road — put it in the message.
- 02
We shortlist, then check
We look at hotels that fit the dates and the group, then confirm availability and the current rate directly with the hotel or our suppliers. Usually two to four options, not twenty.
- 03
You get the trade-offs in writing
Each option comes with the room type, what the rate includes, the cancellation terms and why we picked it — including anything we think you should know before deciding.
- 04
Nothing is booked until you confirm
You reply with the option you want or ask for changes. Payment instructions and the terms for that booking come with the confirmed quote.
What helps us quote faster
- Flexible dates, if you have them — a day either side often opens up better rooms
- The number and ages of children, so we check the right room type
- A realistic nightly budget, including or excluding breakfast as you prefer
- Anything that would rule a hotel out: stairs, a long walk to the beach, nightlife noise
What we will not do
- We do not print prices on this website, because rates change with the date and the season.
- We do not claim partnerships, inspections or awards we do not have.
- We do not add hotel details we cannot check against the hotel's own website.
- We do not sell your details on, and we do not add you to a mailing list for asking.
