Report from Bangkok Post dated 27 October 2011 :-

Pattaya hotels nearly full

People rushing out of Bangkok taking refuge from the flood are finding it difficult to find a room for rent in the resort town of Pattaya, as nearly all of the rooms available are occupied.

About 80 per cent of hotel rooms in Pattaya are already occupied by tourists from Russia and Europe, leaving oinly a few for those who fleeing the flood in Bangkok.

Patcharin Sawetrat, assistant director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand's Pattaya office, said most hotels were reporting 85 per cent occupancy or more.

For the 1,000 or so rooms still unoccupied, the hotels agreed to TAT's request that they reduce the room rate by 50-70 per cent to enable the people from Bangkok to stay from two weeks to one month.

Mrs Patcharin said there were still rooms available at condominiums, houses for rent, serviced apartments and guesthouses. However, most of them prefer to lease their rooms with monthly or yearly contracts.

Most of the flood refugees wanted to stay for only two weeks to one month, she said.
