Flying to Bankok on the 27 Dec 2007 and pre booking 2 nights accom in Bangkok, then catching a bus to Pattaya on 29th Dec and just walking up to hotels to get a good price and accom for 6 nights.

Is this crazy at this time of year, should I pre book before leaving Sydney?

Not good. You will fins accommodation, there is always something, but you won't have much choice and the price you're going to pay will be very high.

In general: the nicer hotels charge more for walk ins/own website bookings than the hotel booking websites.

hi there you might be better off booking something before you go you could try asiatravel.com you can provisionly book something and pay on checking out. also in pattaya theres a nice little hotel in the middle of walking street that i use all the time very cheap nice clean called the jasmine you can reserve your room on there website www.jasmine pattaya .com. i hope this is some help to you good luck.;

This is a busy period- I would think it safer to book before you go.
