PF Resort
A budget base close to the railway station for divers
About this hotel
PF Resort keeps costs low for a diver who spends most of the trip underwater anyway: air-conditioned rooms with a balcony, a work desk, TV and free toiletries, set around a garden and outdoor seating area rather than a large pool deck. Free on-site private parking and a 24-hour front desk cover the practical basics, and daily housekeeping keeps things simple during a short stay. The property sits 2.2 km from Pattaya Railway Station, useful for arrivals by train, and scuba diving is listed as available in the surrounding area, meaning a short transfer to a dive shop or boat pier is part of the routine before heading out to the reefs each morning, gear loaded the night before.

Our take
This suits a diver or budget traveller who wants low rates and a functional base near the railway station rather than resort-scale amenities. The garden and balcony rooms are comfortable enough for a short stay between dives. Travellers wanting an on-site restaurant, a spa or a pool with more than basic seating should look toward Nong Prue's mid-range or five-star properties instead.
- Confirm the dive shop transfer time when booking, since the resort itself doesn't run an on-site dive centre.
- Request a balcony room for extra airflow during the hottest stretches of the Pattaya afternoon.
- Use the free parking if arriving by rental car rather than relying on street parking near the station.

Why guests love itThe balcony room made the biggest difference here, extra airflow after each day of diving in the heat. Scuba diving being available in the surrounding area meant a short transfer to reach the boat pier each morning, and the 2.2 km distance to Pattaya Railway Station kept arrival simple. The rate stays low compared with Nong Prue's resort properties, though anyone expecting an on-site restaurant or a larger pool deck should look at one of the bigger hotels a little further from the station instead.
