Peg: The Sheraton's pretty sweet. I stayed there for a couple nights last year and liked everything about it. It's way too nice (and expensive) for Pattaya. I was using up Starpoints however and couldn't imagine paying 7-8K baht to stay in PTY. One has to bask and revel in the sleaze. To each his own. I suppose it doesn't apply to an office outing, but they were guest friendly, though they're rude to the BG's in that special Thai way.
