Don't do credit card stuff unless it is ssl, AND
[QUOTE=Shansawy]Gents,
I was trying to make a hotel reservation through hotelthailand.com and they asked to email them a copy of my credit card.
Since I know there is lots of scams in asia in credit cards, I dont think that would be a good idea.
Does any has been in the same situation before?[/QUOTE]
If the address bar does not have https:// at the beginning forget about it. Do not enter any credit card info.
I was never credit card scammed but....
The deadbeat hotel and travel e-middlemen really serve no purpose. Yes, I am afraid that REALLY goes for the ones that regularly advertise on US TV too. On the "www.asiantravelsites" you ask for a room at Nana and they get back and e-say "solly all booked up, but we have a loom at the Woraburi" (aka ROBBERY). I believed this once and booked at the Woraburi and they stuck us in this room that cost more than the people walking in off the street. We all got violently ill from their brunch that morning after our midnight arrival, and the hotel tuk tuk driver would not take us to the Bumragrad hospital right up the street. He said it was being repaired but he smiled when he drived by us with his passengers on the 10 block ride to nana (depicted as 3-4 blocks away on the map). It totally ruined this one woman's opinion of Thailand. She'll never go back and we went on to Bali (far better than ANY beach in Thailand, anyway). They charged my each of my pals a 500thb "guest charge" for their pooyings du jour from the nana lot and then each stole about 1,500thb worth of stuff out of his minibar/cig basket conveniently (on purpose?) placed by the door. The front desk thought this was all quite amusing except when one of us spewed some nasty thai "regurgants" in her direction all over her counter.

Peterterb's 2008 trip to Asia - Pattaya
Part 8 – Pattaya
Finally! After two weeks of business in Kobe and Kuala Lumpur, I get a week’s vacation in Pattaya, also known as heaven on earth. I’ve only been here once before (last year) but that’s all it took to hook me.
Arriving at BKK around 2 pm, I hired a taxi from one of the blue-blazer-wearing touts who stand beside the taxi exit door in the airport. I really grilled the tout about the car, driver, familiarity with Pattaya, price, etc. Seemed okay so I paid her 1500 and off we went. Worked out fine and we got to Pattaya in 80 minutes, as the expressway is open and flowing all the way. I called the hotel when we got into town and passed the phone to the driver for directions and the next thing I know I’m pulling into the Sabai Lodge.
I booked a room in the 6-storey Sabai Wing at 1400 per night. The room is just average and breakfast is an extra 180. The WiFi coverage is quite good. I am having trouble with my air conditioner and not getting any help from the staff. All in all I think I could have done better but I think I’ll hang in for the week. The area has got lots of beer bars, 2 gogos next door (Classroom 2 and Honey Pot), Big C mall across the street, lots of restaurants.
I didn’t have much energy my first day in town (spent all day flying in from Kuala Lumpur) so just visited one Soi 6 bar and a couple of gogos. I met Mint at the Viking Bar on Soi 6, gorgeous tall skinny girl with a big smile. She looked like a beginner (that’s what I like) but boy was I wrong! This girl has been in the business (massage, gogo, beer bar) for years, has 2 kids (one with a Thai guy, one with an American), both boyfriends have disappeared. Great English but really all about the business. When I finished my beer she asked if I was taking her and when I said no I was persona non grata. Out I went into the street and off to Walking Street.
Then I went to two gogos on Walking Street, Windmill and Paris. Windmill was just as described in many posts, an absolutely wild place, girls topless all over the place, grinding each other on the mini-stages, sticking bananas who-knows-where. The girls don’t wait to be invited over, either. . Two of them flew off the stage and sat beside me when I sat down. They were both pretty odd looking, one had the crazy vampire teeth and the other had the "rode hard and put down wet" look. (the state of Texas single best contribution to the English language) Anyways I enjoyed the chaos then headed out to Paris.
Paris was a sea of serenity compared to Windmill but the girls in there were much hotter. I would say half the dancers are "stunners". I had drinks with two of them and both were barfine worthy. My favorite dancer confided in me that she was on the rag for the next two days so I should wait until then for our date.
Anyways at that point I ran out of gas (getting old sucks) and I went to bed alone hoping for better things the next day.
The next day. .
The next day I decided I needed a longtime girlfriend for a day or two so I headed down to Walking Street to cruise the beer bars. As I passed Soi 14 I noticed the sign for Secrets Bar. I had read many reviews on this place and went in to check it out. It was only 5 pm but I knew that they had daytime hostesses and dancers in there. I sat down and was completely ignored by everyone in the place. The dancers stared off into space, the hostesses huddled in little groups around the room and went to great lengths to avoid making eye contact with me. I felt like an intruder so I paid my checkbin and headed back to Walking Street. I know this place has a lot of loyal fans but this was perhaps my worst Thailand bar experience ever.
Back to business and I continued down towards Soi Diamond. There were half a dozen hotties in a little hole-in-the-wall beer bar calling me so I joined them. But once I sat down I got the cold shoulder again and it was tough to get any conversation going. I worked my charms but no love connection so I headed out again.
Didn’t see any other babes and I got all the way to Soi 16 where the Covent Garden gogos are (Catz, Club Boesche, etc). There are maybe 6 or 8 beer bars on this street and I saw quite a few girls here that caught my eye. I decided to go all the way to the end then circle back for the one I liked best. At the very last bar a cute little thing came out into the street and flashed me a big smile and asked me to join her. Her name was "O" and she was about 5-foot-nothin’ and 95 pounds, big eyes, big smile. . Just my type. I could tell she was a little older (turns out she was 33) but at my advanced age that’s not a showstopper (I’m 51).
We chatted for quite a while and she had a fantastic personality to match the body. Great English too, we were joking around and really connecting. I asked if she would go longtime with me and she quickly agreed. I paid barfine (300) and she headed off to get her overnight kit while I grabbed some dinner. She met me at the restaurant and we headed off to my end of town. We went into the Big C mall at Soi 2 and had some ice cream at Baskin-Robbins. She was a real delight to spend time with and I knew I’d made the right choice.
Into the room and her body was unbelievable good, nicely sized firm tits, smooth skin, and an awesome tight pussy. We had a great session and it was lights out.
The next day we stayed together all day. Spent the morning hanging out at the pool. Went to Nong Nooch Tropical Gardens in the afternoon. Had a great dinner at the Siam Bayview restaurant. Right outside the Siam Bayview on Second Road we went to see the ladyboy "musical revue" at Malibu Bar. They are in a new location which is quite nice, and the show was entertaining, although the actual talent level is really low. It’s just for laughs especially the Tina Turner impersonator. Afterwards we walked up and down Soi 7 and Soi 8 checking out the beer bars and gogo bars. All in all it was a great day with a great babe and again she took care of me in the room. The next morning she had stuff to do and I was ready for a change of scenery so I gave her 300 for the second barfine and another 3000 for taking great care of me.
Note to readers: for those of you looking for Parts 4 thru 7 of my trip reports, they are in the Malaysia/Kuala Lumpur section.

Better than I could have imagines
After reading this website for a year, here is my first post. I headed to Thailand (from China) for the first time a couple weeks ago. Went straight to Pattaya from the airport 1000 baht all inclusive. Wandered into a 600 baht hotel, that was pretty good after looking at several rooms to find a decent one. Clean-ish, AC, balcony, pool, bathtub.
Then I headed for beach road. The girls in the bars were too aggro and scary, and not that good-looking, so I decided to go with the independent contractors.
Holy S---! It's true that 95% of the girls on beach road are haggard, but that leaves quite a few sweet things, if only you'll look. The bottom line, I paid 500 baht for long short-times from 18-20 year old girls, every time. These girls gave the best blowjobs I've ever had, and that includes all my real, in-love devoted girlfriends of years past. Even the 18-year olds fresh off the farm, who were nervous and clearly hadn't done this too many times, were unbelievable when they got warmed up.
I even had one who, when I got done, said "Me no finish yet" and started jacking off as I lay there spent.
I really don't know what to make of it. It was as if they had channeled their normal sexuality into me, a trick.
Only one sort of bad experience, with a ya-ba smoking nutcase (who does do anal). She was just perfunctory, like your average prostitute. That was the worst experience! You'll know her if you see her, skinny as a rail, "to' up" in druggie lingo, with bizarre- looking blue contacts. I had gotten her at like 3 in the morning and hadn't gotten a good look before she latched on.
Maybe my good luck had to do with the overwhelming ratio of girls to the very few foreigners in Pattaya. I would see an 18-year old cutie on the beach, and half an hour later she's still sitting there, waiting forlornly. What the f?
Also, about half of them begged me for long time at 1000 baht, which I went for a couple times.
Brothers, get your butts to Pattaya.
