Making a reservation at Nong Nooch.

Hi, I%26#39;d like to make a reservation to stay at Nong Nooch. Their website has the various room rates listed, but does not have a way to make a reservation.





Is it possible to make a reservation directly with Nong Nooch without having to use an outside tour agency?





Thanks,





Elvis Cruz

Use the email address in the Contact Us section.



Or call the Bangkok or Pattaya Office .

Thanks for the reply.





We tried emailing them several times, with no response.





Guess we%26#39;ll have to call.





How is their English?




I have telephoned the Bangkok Office on your behalf, and English is not too good.



If you want to call say ';Can i speak English?%26#39;%26#39; and they will get the main English speaker for you. Explaining what you want may be time consuming and costly (for your telephne bill).





They did give me another email address that you can try. Alternatively you can PM me and i will assist with your booking myself. They like to confirm via fax but did not seem keen to confirm to overseas numbers (offices often do not have isd phone capabilities).

I think they usually take group tour bookings, and are not so familiar with people doing their own! Good Luck!




Coming from Florida perhaps nice beach accomodation is not a priority for you, but right opposite Nong Nooch is a lovely resort on the water front. Sea Sand Club, I think is the name they go by now.



Caters mainly for Europeans, so english is good,and visits to Nong Nooch are as easy as crossing the road!



Actually the driveway of both Nong Nooch and Sea Sand are very long, so you would need transport because of the heat, but it would take literally 5 minutes in a car.




Just curious, why do you want to stay at Nong Nooch? I ask this because it is rather remote from where most of the tourists go to.

Perhaps (just a suggestion) a hotel closer to the beach area would be more convenient for WALKING to local shops, stores and malls, etc.





Tours to Nong Nooch from Pattaya City are pretty common and leave every day. www.thailandhighlight.com/index.php…





If your were staying at Nong Nooch you would be relying on ';slightly more expensive'; transportation than what you would find in Jomtien or around Pattaya Beach/Pattaya 2nd Road. (Transportation in the Pattaya area by baht bus is only 10 baht for tourists.)

Most of the Pattaya and Jomtien nightlife is close to the beach. If your intention is to avoid that area then staying at the Nong Nooch is a good idea!





Good luck.




I forgot to mention that most any travel agent in Jomtien or Pattaya can set you up with a Nong Nooch tour (other tours too!) You stop in a travel agent, choose a tour and the tour company picks you up at your hotel, brings you to the tour destination and brings you back to your hotel at the conclusion - very easy!





Cheaper to buy your tour after you get to the Pattaya/Jomtien area. First, get settled in to your hotel. Later at your convenience find the nearest travel agent or two (lots of them, especially along Beach Road) and check out their list of tours. Real easy!







Good luck.
