Travel Tips

As a SHA Plus Certified property, Wave Hotel follows strict Thai health and safety protocols for peace of mind during your stay. Book your free parking spot at least 48 hours in advance to guarantee a space, especially during peak Thai holiday seasons from November to February. If you’re interested in a quiet stay, request an upper-floor sea view room to avoid street noise and wake up to Gulf of Thailand sunrises. The hotel’s central location means all major attractions are reachable by songthaew (local shared taxi) that runs regularly along Beach Road, with fares starting at just 50 THB per person. Don’t skip the hotel’s included breakfast – the mix of local Thai dishes and international favorites is widely rated as one of the best in Central Pattaya.
