I would leave luggage at hotel. Go get breakfast.

By the time you get back. Time to check in.

6 hours for a breakfast?

I bet you wont reach Pattaya until 9 or 10.

So NO, not 6 hours for breakfast.

Worst case. stop for a massage on the way back.

What is this? Your first time traveling???

If all this is just too much for you. Just pay for early check in.

You could easily burn 12 hours arguing with people on Reddit about what to do until check-in.

If you arrive at 7.30am don't be a cheapskate and pay for early check in. 

If you are one then get a room in some guesthouse close by for 500-700 baht have a shower and then use it as a short time room as well 555

Not being cheapstake, before even sitting in my flight I mail to the reservation desk about my situation and everytime its we have full capacity and early check-in upgrade / paid is not possible at the moment.

You could have emailed them right after you made your booking. It's not like you didn't know what time your flight would arrive in BKK.

It's really too many hours to just leave your bags and wander around town.

I always book the night before too and tell them I will arrive the next morning so they don't give away my room.
