Somerset Pattaya is an Ascott-brand serviced residence built for long stays, and the highest-rated place in this article at 9.2. It sits in Central Pattaya opposite Central Festival, within walking distance of the beach, with a hotel shuttle to key spots. The studios come with a kitchenette — fridge, microwave and kettle — plus a small dining area, and the rooftop pool looks over the city and Pattaya Bay. There's a front desk, on-site laundry and scheduled housekeeping, and booking by the month brings the nightly rate down well below the walk-up rate.
