Description. The first thing that catches your eye when you arrive at Emerald by Sofi Pattaya 3 * is the wonderful location of the hotel. Transport, slowly moving along noisy streets among a myriad of shops, suddenly turns to one side, drives 100 meters, and vacationers find themselves in a quiet, calm and very picturesque street. The contrast with the main street is simply amazing.
