Hi Everyone,
Long time lurker, first time post. I usually lurk in the Philippines area since my parents are from Manila, but I have minimal mongering experience there. I have just booked a last-minute trip to Bangkok to visit a college friend and for a vacation. I will be staying in the Sukhumvit area. I have been cramming for information on this board as much as possible. If any of you fellow mongers aren't too busy and want to grab a drink, and maybe show a newbie the ropes, please let me know. BTW, is there any place I can watch the NFL playoffs in HD? Thanks for all the great info!

There is no HD broadcast in Thailand yet.
[QUOTE=Duniawala]There is no HD broadcast in Thailand yet.[/QUOTE]
Duni is correct - no HD yet.
Games should be broadcasted on either ESPN and/or SuperSport (local cable network)...historically it will show live with 1 or 2 rebroadcasts.
Take the elevator to departures level and try to get a taxi that just dropped passengers and pay him only by the meter plus any highway tolls. Tolls are cheap anyway.
It works all the time for me. Even when taxis were located at the far end of the airport and not only in BKK.
If a stuborn policeman is nearby ask the taxi driver to offer him a 20 Baht tip.
It worked in the past too.

Hi guys,
I'll be in BKK from 17-20 Jan. Drop me a PM if anyone wants to head out for a drink and some "late-night shopping" during that period. I'll be staying around Chitlom, but expect to be visiting Nana, Soi Cowboy, etc during the period :)
I am considering going to the Phi Phi Islands in late-April. I have recently heard that the area is thriving yet again and that the area has recoverd well post-tsunami. Anyone have any recent intel? Are there enough rooms re-built? How much damage did the reef's sustain?
I am also most interested to know if this is a Bring Your Own location? Would change the timing of my trip in order to ensure I had the time to find a nice companion to take with me.
I have searched this site, but have found no recent intel on the Phi Phi Islands. Any information would be most appreciated.

I don't think the Tsunami did much damage to the reef at Phi Phi island but more and more people coming here the last 10 yr did the most damage and over dive and boating , the better dive is at Rai island or Simian island where there are less people .

A useful tip if you get caught in a long queue at immigration at Suvarnabhumi: At the far right end of the immigration desks is a separate area with desks labelled 'diplomatic and government passports only' or something similar. I noticed that families with young and less-than-young children were being directed there, so I thought I would chance it too. I can claim to work for the government (although no papers to back that up) so I mentally prepared my argument. However at the desk I was not queried at all, passport stamped, and walked through, thus avoiding an extremely long queue at the other desks.
Either they didn't care or assumed that anybody in that queue had been ushered there by the airport staff for some reason.
(This was about 7am so was also expecting a long slow taxi ride in, but in fact no problem at all, and sailed straight into Soi 8.)

The left side as you face the desks and I have the right paperwork to go there for processing. I WOULD NOT advise people trying this. I've seen people do this and get pulled aside, what happens to them I don't know but I sure know they were taken off and I know they did not process quickly.
I'll be in Chiang Mai in the second half of February and planning to do a guided tour (3-4 days) from there to the North (Chiang Rai, Golden Triangle etc.).
Can any one recommend a reliable operator/guide located either in CM or BKK?
Is there anything against taking a TG along? (I know, there is a lot for it!)
I'd appreciate some relevant feedback.
This is friend and I 2nd trip to BKK. However the 1st time it was for only 4 and we limited time for R&R.
I have been to Eden (Loved it), Cawboys and other locations.
This time it is all about R&R.
I wellcome any sugestions for Hotel and places to go and Party and of cource some site seen.
This is my 2nd visit to BKK. First time no mush time for R&R, however this time it is all about R&R.
I have been to Eden (loved it) and Soi Cowboys. Looking for suggestions were to stay closer to the action, etc.
Also recommendations to meet goo quality girls.
Esp if you motorcycle, they have a website altho' trips are mostly a week or more

OK, it was a gamble, and I realised that if I was rejected I might be sent to the back of a now very long queue. But I was very prepared to argue my postion as a senior and respected member of HMG. As it was, no problems at all...
I will be in BKK from 21st to 24th February and happy to meet up over a beer with any fellow members. Can be more fun to visit the go-go bars in company.

Guys - The "Diplomatic and government passports, APEC card" channel, as it's name implies is reserved for diplomats AND.... APEC card holders. There are a lot more us APEC card holders passing thru thse special channels all over the APEC countries than there are diplomats!
Its not hard to apply for an APEC card and costs only approx US$60 for a 3 year card - so if you want to save yourself immigration queues ALL OVER Asia, get an APEC card!

Visiting BKK from 1/2/2008 - 27/2/2008 staying at the Grand President
Anyone wants to go for a beer pm me
SD
Sure Small Disk, Still don’t know where to stay in BKK, we are considering Majestic Suites, closer to Nana and Cowboys, etc.. Any suggestions?
Load up google earth, search for Nana Plaza Bangkok then turn on the hotels bit (goto layers. Places of interest. Lodging) have a look at the hotels around that area
Then open up ISG. Go to the thai. Hotels threads and search on the hotels that you found in google earth.
Also look at the thread. Bangkok. Places to AVOID! And make sure the hotels you find are not listed there LOL
Its really upto you but all depends on price and location, but that isn't much of a worry as taxi's are so cheap compared to UK (and Turkey where I live)
If anyone else wants to go for a beer please PM me, I should be getting my phone unlocked and get a thai SIM, I will be in Thailand for a month of sex sex and more sex

I will be in BKK Feb. 10th and 11th, then Cambo, then back 15, 16, 17th, leaving late afternoon on the 18th.
Anyone want to meet up for a beer or three and perhaps some sight-seeing?

Hello All,
I shall be in BKK from 19th to 22nd; then to good 'ol China and the mongering scene there. I'm looking forward to this trip, heard a lot, and am starting my RTFF now. Don't know where I'll be staying yet, but will post
I realize the mongering scenes are different, but anyone who has experience with Shenzhen/CP etc scene and also BKK scene can you give me a comparison? My feelings are mongering is more out in the open in BKK, and price is about the same. In SZ one can get LT for +/-500RMB which is about 2100THB
One thing I am looking forward to is the sauna scene, I figure this is better here and consequently pricey, the most expensive sauna I have been to in China is 600-700RMB; and expensive room service in China for about 1100RMB which would be 4800THB
So, I guess I could go for at least one 'A lister at a soapy. Would it be worth it?
I really am looking forward to the change in ethinicity though; Looking forward to getting out some frustrations from way back in college, where I was friends with this 'good' thai girl. She was the tightest, smallest, hottest asian I have ever seen.
[QUOTE=The Skinner]I think it might have been you I answered on the Cambo forum, but those dates tally close enough to my own. I'd be interested in a bit of sight seeing in PP or BKK.[/QUOTE]Skiinner,
I can't PM you so how do you expect me to give any details?
You don't accept PM's.
Bounce Around,
Yes, I know exactly how you feel about sauna in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Mauca. True mens clubs, Hot Jucuzzi, Ice pool, sauna, body scrubs, steam room, the full works along with a 2 hour massage. Truly a 4 hours relaxing event. Something I have really miss not being able to visit for a number of years! I don't even care about the sex!
But sadly as I write this to you I have never been able to find anything remotely close to what I have found in HK, or China in Thailand. I heard of 1 place in BKK, called Navana Spa or something to that effect but lost the website and the address before I could visit. If anyone know of a place in BKK, or Pattaya let us know!
LBM
I'll be in BKK on the above dates and again on 7th - 10th March if anyone fancies meeting up for a beer. I'll be staying on Soi 8.

I like Shenzhen better than Bangkok I am chinese travel to china 4 time a yr from the US but I also go to Bangkok once or twice a yr for myself I like china better more option and I like chinese girl better gfe but Thai girl is better in bed .
Cost is cheaper in Shenzhen hotel and the food is much better ,I like the bbs girl in shenzhen but I like the soapie and massage in Bangkok but you should give bkk a try and judge for yourself.

Nothing Like It comes out of retirement; making lousy work excuses he has chalked the dates for a rendevouz with the past. LOS!
Dates - 24th Feb to March 4th 2008.
The 5 year imprisonment of monogamy has taken its toll on his skills and he would love to gather all advice he an about what time has brought with it in Bangkok and Pattaya.
Of course the elephant show and sight seeing can be simply ignored. He is more interested in Pussy shows and Service provisions!
In the must do list is :
BKK - Eden, Tulip, Beer garden and a lot of others who fancies his temptations. Fellow mongers.. hotel scene is still confusing; narrowing it down to Majestic Suites or Town Lodge? Living stones is very tempting but I gather it migth create a logistical problem with location?
Pattya - Beach road, walkign street, Secrets, Hell. Need more info here.. how about the hotel? Any recommendations?
Also would like to know some clubs (late night) where some better offerings might be availed:)
Ofcourse, anyone in and around the region then would only be company in the endeavour to make the best of time!
No doubt every experience will be posted for the future reference of fellow monogamously challenged men!:)
I'm getting in at 630 AM for a change - anybody know when the first bus out of BKK airport to either Chant or Trat leaves?
I guess I could hop the 551 to On-nut and skytrain to Ekkamai but it seems like a waste of time to go into the city just to right back out the same road southeast.
The trouble with Thai bus schedules from the airport is that they don't seem to be available on the web except for Pattaya. (and even those don't seem to cover all the routes available - only about half of them)

Distances are relative in Bkk and Soi 33 isn't too far from soi cowboy (can walk) and/or Nana. You might want to stay first couple of nights here and then make a switch after you get your bearings.
nana <----> asoke <----> prom pong
Livingstone's is two blocks toward Asoke from Prom Pong.
In most cities, subway or skytrain stops are close enough together that it's hardly worth going up/down the stairs and buying a ticket if you're only going one stop. BKK is no exception.
Nana to Livingstone's is two stops, which means it's worth climbing the stairs to the skytrain, but if you walk, it's probably good for you. :-)
And a lot safer than this:

When is exactly the holiday period during the April?
I am working on plans to go to Pattaya in a few weeks. Will stay March 16-April 9 (dates are still soft but I think they will work). Hope to get a room at either Sandy Springs, Whitehouse or Dynasty on Soi 13, if they are booked then will try Tropical Berts near Soi 6 on Second Road. Will try to organize a gathering of ISG members if there are a few in town at that time.
[url]www.PattayaFest.com[/url] has links to several good hotels as well as a link to a PATTAYA PAGES HOTEL REVIEWS (very helpful, I always add my reviews to their page whether good or bad).
Any ISG members in Pattaya during March or April? Cut/Paste and add your name to the roll call if interested in hooking up.

I'll be in Lamai (staying at the Lamai Wanta) solo for a few days. Then meeting up with my brother in Pattaya for a couple more. If anyone will be in Lamai and wants to grab a drink, shoot the shit, get some girls to play naked twister (yes I brought the game with me for that reason) shoot me a private message.
I'll arrive in BKK on the night of March 7 and be continuing on to Pattaya the night of March 8 through the night of March 14. Staying at Nana in BKK and Sunshine on Soi 8 in Pattaya.
Leaving Malaysia tomorrow 2/27 for 1 week in Phuket then on to Pattaya from about about 3/5 on until 3/25. If want to catch up send me a PM. Had a great time a few months ago when caught up with 4 other members in Pattaya. Been on the road since November so have a few good stories of good and bad places.
Have not been able to post most since in most places computer time has been a real pain.
I will be in BKK on 14/3 for 2 nights, please PM me if anyone is interested in going for a drink/clubbing/mongering.

Trying to get into BKK 3/9... Will be around for two weeks no matter when I get in. Any member around for a drink let me know. GF will be around so not much mongering but we can grab a drink or MP in day or such.
Will be in BKK for 4-5 days towards the end of March.
Not worried about the girls side of things, plenty of info here on that, and even without I'd get by.
The 2 other things that my trip will be focused on are buying some good solid suits and getting a good 1 day detox spa session.
Been reading around about suits and am considering [url]http://www.crowntailor.com/[/url] or [url]http://www.dress-for-success.com/[/url] but have noticed good things said on here about [url]http://www.ambassadorfashion.com/[/url]
anybody care to venture their opinions? I'm wanting to get 2-3 suits made that will stand up to scrutiny and be appropriate for a 30 year old guy (so maybe not overly conservative).
For detox I've been looking at:
[url]http://www.bangkokdetox.com/price.html[/url]
[url]http://www.rasayanaretreat.com/cleansing-package.htm[/url]
Are they worth their asking prices?
Also I want to get a bloody good make-over, the kind where you just tell some skilled ladies to make you look good, and they do it without needing any guidance (and then go to dinner with you afterwards lol). I want this to include some waxing as well as a hair cut and maybe dye. This I haven't looked into yet, and suggestions appreciated.
My dates are set. I get into BKK on Thursday night, March 13. Hope to be at Nana by midnight if all goes well (my flight lands at 9 p.m.).
PM me if interested in hooking up for a drink.
This summer I travel amongst others in Thailand (also Philippines and Laos )
What I look for is Cities with Bikini clubs in which they give a little show (like Soi Cowboy in BK and Walkingstreet in Pattaya) in Thailand. Besides BK and Pattaya I dont know cities wth that (Hua Hin the girls were to ugly to have shows a mamasan told me there...)
Second thing is what I like in a City is something like a ST low key mamasan thing (in Cambodia they will call it a chickenfarm). Can those be found in Thailand?
Thanks for all

That seem to be one to cross off my list.
yeah, that's the problem with many of the tailors in BKK and surrounding environs - the suit LOOKS GOOD a few times.
For some of them, it's good to buy a suit and then keep it just to look in when being BURIED :(
Hello brothers,
Through a bit of good fortune I'll be back in LOS in April, and have just noticed that I get to enjoy the hottest part of the year and Songkran.
I'm curious to know, is it a dry heat or does it still rain on and off? What sort of things do the bars get up to (are we talking water fights / great shows)? Do prices go up because it's a holiday period? Or is it noticeably quieter, being outside of the peak season?
And I've been to Pattaya/Jomtien/Koh Samet before and wasn't planning to go again, but will I be missing out on anything beach-wise over the holiday period?
Having tripped & stumbled through almost all the mistakes an LOS newbie can make last year (Sep/Oct) I am really looking forward to having a bit more experience behind me, and hopefully having another fun & more relaxed time.

pattaya can be a water nightmare if you don't enjoy [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord118][CodeWord118][/url] and talc. it is humid...approaching may....which has the second highest rainfall (only topped by the end of the rainy season). bkk will have less of a water issue and a shorter version....as do most other places...other than pattaya. my understanding is that hua hin is less humid and has less rainfall during this period of time.
Dear all,
After one year of trouble and strife I'll be back in August to have some fun. Would be very grateful for information regarding guesthouses in the Chatuchak area.
Thanks in advance

Going to get the bus to get the train to get the tube to get to Heathrow

Let the fun begin!
Will be arriving at the lodge late Wed early Thursday. The good times will begin. If you want to spread a few lies and have a beer look me up at Livingstones.

Phuket April 5th to 10th then one night at Livingstones Lodge on 10th before heading for Dubai for a few days.

I'll stay at the Mandarin Oriental...

A buddy (from another board) and I are leaving for BKK in a couple hours from Pattaya. Any ISG members in BKK can find me tomorrow (Thursday night) for a drink at Nana Hotel bar maybe around 8pm. I will where my Cuba baseball jersey so I should be easy to spot (I am also bald but so are many farangs). Let's hook up for a drink and to check out the N.H. parking lot action. Staying at the Dynasty Inn just a few doors down from N.E.P.
Anyone interested?
In BKK now. Any one want to catch up for drink. Just PM me.
Rite now. In BKK for work alone. But have a few days off. To see the place.
Staying in Soi8 Sukinwith (think thats how you spell it) area.
Staying till 8th.
Any gd place for sight seeting in Thailand?
Hi
I will arrive on Phuket on the 010608 then off to Patts until the 180608.
If anyone faces a drink would be glad to meet up.
Regards
Mark
Ipm,
I will get to BKK on the 23rd. Are you leaving the 23rd or 24th for Manila? If 24th, would love to meet for drinks.
Actually, I think I met you at Oase last summer (mid July) when we were talking in the outdoor whirlpool. I didn't really use this site much before but thinking back, it must have been you based on the reports you wrote.
Anyway, I will be in Thailand from May 23 to June 6 or 7. In BKK for 4-5 days, then my plans are open. Was thinking of going to Pattaya instead of Phuket. Also considering Philippines but have not investigated flights/hotel/city yet.

[QUOTE=IrishPussyman]I have now changed and confirmed the plans for my upcoming trip to Thailand and the Philippines.
I will be arriving in Bangkok on May 19th and staying 4 nights before heading off on my maiden trip to the Philippines, 1 night Manila and 6 in Cebu, back in Bangkok for 1 night before heading down to Phuket on May 31st for 6 nights and then ending up with another 4 nights in Bangkok.
Will there be any other hobbyists in the area who might like to hook up for a drink.
Regards,
IPM[/QUOTE]
I'll be in BKK from 24th April to 1st May. Most likely to be with gf, but if anyone fancies meeting for a beer would be happy to meet up. Staying in Soi 2.
Hello everyone,
First post under a new handle as I've been away for a while. I will be arriving in Pattaya on May 18 (my virgin trip to the LOS) and will be there for about four or five days. Anyone want to meet up for a drink, feel free to buzz me.
Peace

Hey folks,
Ben awhile since I posted, last year's advice on China was spot on. This time I'm heading to Thailand sort of at the last minute for business. Antway, a friend of mine told me about a place called "Texas massage" in Chinatown. Is that place any good? Also, I lurked in the forums and read a post that I now cannot find. It went something like: "The girls are divided with a line down the middle one side is for anal and the other is for girls that don't do anal. " Can someone help me out here? My company has me in Chinatown. Any help would be great guys.

3) tips and explanations from an experienced eden customer.
[b]1) eden club menu[/b]
the eden club is not for everybody.
we are a club specialized in sessions for one man with two or more ladies. if you want something else, then you should probably look elsewhere. we are not a drinking bar, a go-go bar or a massage parlor. everybody is welcome the first time to have a drink and to get to know the concept. we do ask that you pay a second visit only if you are in the mood for pleasure. if things are busy, then feel free to enjoy a drink and wait in the club. however, we are not interested in 50 or more guys just sitting and drinking in so few square meters.
we are located on sukhumvit soi 7/1
between soi 7 and soi 9
open from 12.30 pm to midnight (last call)
[b]about the menu [/b]

hoping you found all your answers
[b]2) frequently asked questions [/b]
[b]what is the best time to visit the eden club? [/b]
you'll have the widest choice of ladies if you're there around 12.40 p.m., (1240 hours bkk time), but the service will be the same whatever time you visit the club.
[b]what is the eden club policy on tipping? [/b]
tips are always appreciated but never requested.
[b]is it possible to have a session with just one lady? [/b]
the in-house sessions at eden club are two (or more) ladies with one man. for take away sessions, it's no problem to select just one lady.
[b]can i bring a lady from the outside to participate in an eden session? is there an extra charge? [/b]
women are considered guests of the eden club and there is no extra charge for their participation.
[b]after an overnight session, can a lady remain with me past 6.00 a.m? [/b]
that's entirely up to the lady. keep in mind that she has only a few hours in which to go home,and then return to the eden club by 1:00 p.m. she may have family or other obligations that prevent her from remaining past 6.00 a.m.
[b]suppose i want a very special session or a service that not all ladies provide. how do i arrange that? [/b]
speak with a member of the eden management about your wishes before choosing your ladies. that way, you'll be sure that the ladies you select are willing to provide the services you want.
[b]3) to give you a better idea of what we are : [/b]
[i]about 24 hours after i left lax, i find myself turning the corner onto soi 7/1.
the club is much busier than i ever remember. all week long, people coming and going--i spent an enormous amount of time at the club and there was never a day or an hour that seemed to slow down i think the continual word of mouth over the years has finally had a noticeable affect. there were guys from everywhere... europe, singapore, australia, the states, japan...everywhere. all in all, it seemed extremely busy, much more so than i anticipated.
with that being said, timing is everything. eden has several absolutely beautiful girls who work there that are nearly impossible to snatch, unless you buy a vip membership. both yeng (17) and pla (33) are absolutely gorgeous young girls--- strikingly beautiful faces and killer bodies. in my opinion, these the two most attractive girls in the club, and could easily work in places like poseidon or mirage. nok (20) is another remarkably cute girl with a deadly round ass. details on my experience with them will follow later....
there are several other girls who rank near the top, whom i will mention later. the point that i want to make, though, is that these girls are continuously busy. you rarely see them, unless, by luck, you happen to stroll in when they happen to be walking their customers to the door. sitting at the bar for only one drink gives you a very small window of opportunity to even notice them. if you visit eden once, twice or three trips in a year, and spend half an hour sitting at the bar making your decision, odds are you probably won't even know they exist. the club is busy 10 hours a day, and you've got a 30 minute window to see who's available......it's just timing and luck.
more than likely, you see the rest of the girls. the second-string. the girls who haven't been picked, and have no vip waiting for them. the majority of the girls at eden are completely average, with a handful that are not attractive at all. if you're a newbie, walking into eden in the middle of some random afternoon, there is a very good chance you're going to be confronted by an average selection of girls. perhaps by chance or luck, you'll stumble in front of one of the incredibly popular, truly gorgeous and cute girls--there are many of them. but probably not. they're probably upstairs wiggling their beautiful, round, perky asses in some vip's face, such as my own.
here's another thing to consider: each guy that pays for a session is taking at least two girls with him, removing them from the line-up. if there are at least four or five sessions going on at any one point during the day, then consider that there are at least 8-12 girls always missing from the line-up. and chances are, it's going to be the 8-12 best looking girls at that particular time.
it's all timing. the best time is 12:30 noon. but even that is no guarantee, as there are five other guys with the same early-bird strategy. i'm totally convinced that this place has gotten too busy for it's small size. having watched this entire scene for a week, i think i finally figured it out and can understand how eden gets criticized for having average girls. timing....it's all timing.
true, there's lots of average girls at eden. but there are also many hotties, as well--just like any club in bangkok. i walked into countless clubs in all the famous spots, and was continually confronted by average girls. then, randomly, some total hottie with deadly body walks by. it's luck and chance. except at eden, your window of opportunity is much smaller because of the one drink policy.
the one drink policy: i don't like it at all, but it absolutely has to be that way! trust me. even with that policy in effect, the bar was constantly crowded. as i said, guys were coming and g oing, three, four and five at a time. if everyone stayed and drank for awhile, the bar would over-flow out the front door. unfortunately, with its small size, that policy has to be in place or it would become unmanageable. from a purely economical stand, i'm sure marc would love to sell you many drinks and make even more money----it's just too small of a place to become a real bar. and as i said, the place is fucking busy. much busier than i remember from the past. there were many, many times when there were no seats available at the bar. if you haven't been there in a year or so, you'd be quite shocked.
so those are some details which some of you may find boring, hopefully others will find it informative. i was trying to address a few of the more popular topics which continually surface in this thread. now that i got a few of the technical things out of the way....
there is a reason why so many men from all corners of the planet are passionate eden fans, completely awe-struck by the eden experience. it's the fucking outrageously hot, and kinky, and perverted, and porno-style sex that's available if you choose. that's what separates eden from any other club that i've been to. there are a million clubs to drink at, sitting idly at, watch girls dance and gyrate to the rhythm of the pounding music. a million of them, and i love them as well. on the other hand, there are very, very few clubs that provide the outrageously wild sex that's available at eden. the level of service is, in my opinion, unmatched anywhere in bangkok[/i]

[QUOTE=Tansak KTV]Eden.... search for Eden.... two girl minimum[/QUOTE]Awesome. Anyone hear of this Texas place? Is it worth anything? My buddy said it was about 1500 baht FS. Any advice for a first timer in the chinatown area? I'm not exactly a cheap charlie but 1500 seems a little high.
Will be back in town May 17-22, have some business during the days on M, T, W, and have some things lined up with past aquaintences.
But I am looking to find another mongerer, that is up to finding a girl for a M F M session. To be clear, I am not bi, and not into any MM stuff. But I did this once and it was fun.
Have to be willing to share any cost involved.
PM me if interested.

Go have a drink at Livingstones on Soi 33, It's Giotto's place and there are always ISG senior (or Junior) members hanging around there ;)
Will anyone be around? this is my first trip and I would like monger with another ISG member.
Thanks
Sorry about the vagueness of what I'm about to write. I've only been to Thailand once, and that was more than three years ago, so the details are a little fuzzy. I spent most of my time on Koh Samet and only ventured into Bangkok for Songkran (sp?).
Anyhoo...
I stayed at the Grace Hotel (I believe) and visited one particular bar off the main road (is that Sukhumvit?) where you chose a girl, and she chose a second one for a threesome. The bar was on a side street off the main road (same side of the street as Grace; opposite side of the street from Nana), the side street was (maybe) across the street from a subway/L-train station(??). Or it may have been an outdoor restaurant with a bookstore on the inside. The bookstore/restaurant was definitely in the area if it wasn't right across the street (under the train overpass).
Well... that sounds perfectly dumb now that I've typed it out. Memory is the first thing to go when you have Alzheimer's I guess. I can't be any more descriptive than that. But if anyone can recognize the area from what I've tried to describe, and knows the bar I'm talking about, please post the name of the place. I'll be hitting Bangkok sometime soon and will be staying in the same area, and wouldn't mind hitting the same place. It was 15 minutes walk from the Grace.

I'm not inclined to hunt in packs.
But the second part of your question was "the best place for independent ladies of the night."
Exit your hotel, turn right, walk down to the skywalk, cross over to the north side of Sukhumvit, and head up Soi 7 to the Biergarten.
[QUOTE=NicFrenchy]That's the EDEN CLUB, sukhumvit Soi 7/1. Run a search and a lot of great posts will pop up[/QUOTE]That's the one! I'm glad someone was able to decipher my insane directionality.
Thanks! Much appreciated! Now I have something to do between shopping at Phanthip and MBK.
Dear Guys,
I have been told Mon 19 May is a dry night and some clubs will be closed. I am not sure if this is true, if so you only have Sun to make all your appointments.

Been RTTF quite a bit and putting together a list of must do's. I must thank Mick Licker, Giotto, Duniawala, Evil Penivel and others for their fine reports. Based on Evil's reports, Eden and Hell clubs are definitely on my list.
Looking forward to meeting any of the LL regulars while I am there.

Hello to all,
Can anyone please advise me if it is legal or illegal to bring sex toys into Thailand? I am talking about simple toys like dildos and party items like cock balloons. Things like that. Nothing with nudity on it.
Any advice?
[QUOTE=NakedFunGuy36]Hello to all,

Any advice?[/QUOTE]
To be honest I have never heard of a cock balloon (I have heard of Piper's rings). My education must be sadly lacking.
My experience is limited to sex toys for ladies.
For me the ultimate sex toys are real pussy and lovely soft massage of the balls using tits.
Thailand seems to have a shortage of sex toys for the ladies. Perhaps dildos are considered too pornographic if realistic. Maybe the Thai men are worried about being replaced entirely by machines that can be trusted not to stray or pick up HIV.
My GF likes regular orgasms when I am away for a while so she appreciates the assist of a really powerful vibe.
However I am a frequenct importer of ladies vibrators and some are in form of a dildo.
I think ladies will prefer vibrating varieties or strap-ons over dildos that do nothing.
Sry to confuse you with the cock balloons. They are just regular balloons in the shape of a cock that can be used for the pussy dart shows. I was wanting to bring over a double headed dildo for a couple of gals so I could sit back and enjoy the show in my room and maybe something a little less Like a real cock for another lady I know. By the way I will be going back over on the 3rd of July Arrive the night of the 4th. Staying for only 8 days. This is my 3rd trip this year. Probly the last until next year or I win the lotto first. Party on all.
Going for a trip to BKK on 17-20th July with gf.
Been hearing so much about "Tiger shows" (female anatomy tricks) and "live sex shows".
Would appreciate any pm on where to watch these shows.
Thanks.
Appreciate advise on scams as well.
I will be visiting Bangkok next month. Plan to stay for a week or so. After that onto another place.
I would like to keep my one of the two luggages at a locker in the Airport and take the carry on with me in the hotel. This will save me a lot of hassle.
Can anyone tell me whether locker service is available in the Bangkok International Airport?

Yes, it is.
lockers - sort of - they have a "left luggage" facility on the 2nd floor (I think it's second) 100B/day per bag. It'd down toward the "Thai Airlines" end of the terminal (east side I think - I never know exactly what direction I'm going in there except that it's in the direction of where the cars come INTO the terminal) Just ask the guys in the uniforms - they will tell you where
I have used the airport lockers (Left Luggage) on many occasions, especially when traveling to several countries, with Thailand being the hub.
Another option, however, which I will use again this fall, is to leave your bags in storage at the hotel. I have done this at both the Grand President and Majestic Suites, at no charge. They store while you are traveling, then you claim when you return to the hotel.
Thanks Terri Terrier, Dinghy and Allenflusa for your responses.
I would rather leave luggage at a locker in the Airport if that service is available. That way I don't have to bother even carrying them to the hotel.
Hello brothers,
Haven't ventured outside of the US in a couple of years (my last ISG reports were in May 2006 after a 2 week trip to Prague, Tel Aviv and Amsterdam), but I am turning 50 in mid November and decided that I must visit Thailand before my birthday...
Due to an SO situation, I will be getting a cover story from my boss (I usually don't travel on business, but in this case "the company will need me there...").
Also due to other obligations, my timing is very rigid - can't leave before Nov 1 and have to be back on Nov. 11. My China Airlines flight (didn't buy the ticket yet) will depart LA on Nov. 1 and arrive BKK via Taipei around 1:00am on Nov. 3 - that's the cheapest flight available and I am a low budget monger / punter...
I am overwhelmed by the amount of material that is available here... Just amazing! Kudos to all the contributors!
I plan to spend 24 - 48 hours in BKK and then head to Pattaya for the rest of the vacation.
Would love to find a partner in crime for that time.
Any help in any area would be highly appreciated!
As we say in California:
May your shaft stay hard and your balls hang low!

Well hidden, FAR away from where the bargirls live, Fort Knox level security, yet low cost. Obviously I don't want to any have tingtong bargirls coming after me. I already have enough monkeys after me in Cambodia. So, anybody know a place that fits the bill?
Does anybody have any experience of traveling from India to Bangkok?
I will be visiting India on business in August/September and would like to finish with a few days' break in LOS. I will probably be able to organise my itinerary to finish at any city.
The cheapest flight I have found is Jet Air at about £300 for Mumbai to BKK. Does anybody know of anything cheaper? I have heard enough horror stories about Air India to put me off flying with them.
All suggestions gratefully received.

I have had very good luck with Jet Air domestically in India; new equipment, and good service. They recently took delivery of a couple of B777 and I think they fly to London and NYC now.
I have also used Thai Air, BKK-Mumbai and/or Delhi. Good also.
Yes, I owe you a PM.
I'm doing the same this month. The cost was $503 for non-stop round trip from Bangalore to Bangkok. Although the flight was booked on Air-India the flight is actually a code shared Thai Airlines flight. Interestingly enough, the same flight booked on Thai Air was over $1100. I think the ones from Mumbai are also Thai Air that are code shared by Air India.

I'm making my first trip the LOS this month. I'll be in Bangkon from July 11th to the 15th and Pattaya on the 16th and 17th. I'm staying at Livingstones lodge in Bangkok and still need to find a good place in Pattaya. I'm open to suggestions for the Pattaya hotel. Would also be glad to shares some beers with forum members in either city. My PM's finally enabled so you can PM me with suggestions.

I don't who gave you the $1100 price. I just checked on Thai website and was given a fare of $552.00

There are some good options in the Pattaya hotel thread section
If you think BKK traffic was bad from having the royal family moving about just wait until the 'Murcan head fucking arse-licker comes to town (sometime in late July or early August- he's supposed to make an appearance in Beijing for the opening of the Olympics)
Look for GRIDLOCK between the airport and where ever that cocksucker goes. (hopefully he will go in/out of DonMuang)
As you can guess, he's not exactly on my "most favorite people list"
Think I just posted in the wrong forum..
Guys, I am RTFF (now on about page 80) reading back :) but need to get sorted for tomorrow (Sat 5th) Will be in town for one night and free from about 7pm..
Looking for a top quality girl, very pretty etc - any recommendations on where to go, best chance etc, Cost not worried about except not going to waste money on average looking girls..
Or if anyone is free tomorrow night and fancies a beer then PM me - we can then wander together
Cheers,

[/QUOTE]
Sorry, can you translate to English for me.
Are you referring to some-one "well known" throughout the world, or do I suffer from being an Aussie?
An internet search for "arse-licker" didn't bring up anyone particularly useful :) A search for Murcan brought up "Jack Rosenthal" who I have never heard of.
Looks like "Murcan" is a lazy way to say "American"?
Am I getting warm or not at all?
I am only concerned since I will be going to BKK in late Jul early Aug. Otherwise I might have ignored the warning.
No, whoops I am finally starting to wake up.
"SHRUB" = 'Bush'.
Surely no one will want to see/meet him but I guess the security will be big nuisance.
Sorry I was never good at Chryptic cross-words (as you can tell).
It was on Orbitz. Sure shows the benefit of shopping around. Orbitz wasn't even listing the flight as available for Air India any longer. I had tried to book through them about a month ago. A quick call to Air India to check on my missing reservation netted me the flight at the more reasonable price listed on the Air India site.
[QUOTE=Duniawala]I don't who gave you the $1100 price. I just checked on Thai website and was given a fare of $552.00[/QUOTE]
BKK-BLR return on Thai was about $800 on Thaiair website this AM (17500 flight, 8500 taxes more or less)
Interestingly enough - the total INR price originating in BLR was roughly the same and $625 or so

He totally screwed up Heathrow for 2 days when he visited the UK in June. Refused to fly into a military air base or alternate civil airfield. Would not fly standard approach patterns. Arrival or departure time not passed to airlines so they could adjust. Non-standard approach and not advertising schedules are fair enough for security reasons but why insist on Heathrow? Arrogance springs to mind but that's just my opinion.
Traffic (air) halted for 2 hours on arrival and departure, knock on disruption for two days. Heathrow air traffic is a nightmare at the best of times but his schedule was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Good luck if he visits BKK.

The security forces closed the motorway so that he and his motorcade would have sole use, which meant (amongst many other problems) that taxis couldn't get to the airport easily, resulting in a massive queue of disgruntled salarymen, including myself. Luckily the worst was over by the time I arrived.
(Not really sure why he was going there - did he have anything to do with NI whilst in office?)
Who cares what fuckstick wanted in NI - just be glad he didn't cost YOU money while he was there except for the security fiasco. he's CERTAINLY wrecked the value of the US dollar because of IRAQ (1.5 trillion pounded down a RATHOLE)
I better shut up before someone encourages me to move it to "Thai Politics" ( I absolutely DISPISE that Tex COCKSUCKER (yeah, it's TEX - they sent the ASS to Washington)

Log on as a guest and tick month long search for best results.
It seems that Air India flights to BKK are operated by Thai International so no problem. You can check that if you go into the details of the flight.
I will be in BKK from 18th to 22nd August.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. federal agents have been given new powers to seize travelers' laptops and other electronic devices at the border and hold then for unspecified periods the Washington Post reported on Friday.
Under recently disclosed Department of Homeland Security policies, such seizures may be carried out without suspicion of wrongdoing, the newspaper said, quoting policies issued on July 16 by two DHS agencies.
Agents are empowered to share the contents of seized computers with other agencies and private entities for data decryption and other reasons, the newspaper said.
DHS officials said the policies applied to anyone entering the country, including U.S. citizens, and were needed to prevent terrorism.
The measures have long been in place but were only disclosed in July, under pressure from civil liberties and business travel groups acting on reports that increasing numbers of international travelers had had their laptops, cellphones and other digital devices removed and examined.
The policies cover hard drives, flash drives, cell phones, iPods, pagers, beepers, and video and audio tapes -- as well as books, pamphlets and other written materials, the report said.
The policies require federal agents to take measures to protect business information and attorney-client privileged material. They stipulate that any copies of the data must be destroyed when a review is completed and no probable cause exists to keep the information.

My package includes private transfer, i was wondering if one lands at 3.30pm BKK time, how long it would take to get to the Grand Sherton Shukumwit. Allowing for immigration customs and the heavy BKK trafic would a 2-2.5 hrs be enough?
Mad Harry, you are landing at pretty much the WORST time of the day, traffic wise. gridlock will be everywhere up and down Suk, and getting off the freeway could take an hour. If you are lucky, you will get a driver who knows the back sois, and can get off the freeway earlier than most, and find his way to the Sheraton in under 2 hours. During non busy times, it is a 30 minute drive from "so-you-wanna-boom".

Take the AE3 bus from the airport (150 baht, door #8 lower level) and get off at On Nut. Then hop on the BTS and cruise over the gridlock to your desired location ("next station. Nana").

The weather will be a little cooler (ie - hot, rather than very hot!)
Enjoy :)
I will be traveling to Pattaya for a couple of weeks at the beginning of October this year. Since I heard that Pattaya's beaches are not something to die for, I want to stay in JomTIen, where I hear the beaches are swimmer-friendly.
All I ask of the hotel I'll be staying at is easy access (by whatever means of transportation, since I'll be going to Pattaya a lot, and return at odd hours of the night), air-con, warm water, and a clean, large bed. A hotel pool is nice-to-have.
Which hotel would you recommend?
Thanks a lot for the help,

s.[/quote]just a suggestion:
yes the beaches there are not too great. but you can rent a driver with a speed boat and take a 40 min ride out to an island. just tell the driver you want to go to the island. it cost about 1000 baht. he stays all day with you. cyrstal clear water, smooth white sand. you can rent jst skis, motor bikes. etc beer foor is cheap. then come back.
take your girl with you. or if you hook up with another guy and his friend you split the cost of the boat.
recommend you stay at the penthouse hotel. see their website. basically a sex hotel with dance poles, jacuzzis, mirrors, swings in the rooms. they wil lchange the sheets as many times as you need them changed each day.
indoor pool you can swim nude with the girls. the kitten club is connected to the hotel. walk to the end of the street in the morning and catch the boat to the island.
Me and another member are in Pattaya now and will leave on the 18th.
Will be in BKK on 5,6 and 7 Sptember for our "hobby".
Any mongers around for a beer?

Hi all,

Looking for a couple of other to join in, this is my 10th trip or so to Thailaind but only my second to Pataya so would not mind some assistance in ensuring the proper motivated, flexible bi ladies are invited.

I am in KL, have been for a couple weeks (I have a room there paid for, for the next month).
I am heading to Phuket tomorrow on Air Asia, then, whenever I feel like it, I am heading to BKK/Pataya. I will return to KL around 12 Sept, actually my dive instructor (and a couple GFs) wants to hangout in Lankowi island for that weekend, so I may not get to KL until the 14th.
Looking for a wingman. I will send my contact info.

Hi fellow BKK mongers!
I will be making my 6th trip to LOS in 2 years. Have flown solo in the past but would like to meet up with some of you in BKK the week of November 6. If anyone would like to meet up for a beer and some hunting, respond here. I have always stayed at the Dream BKK but thought this trip to go "down and dirty" and stay at the Nana Hotel. (this trip NOT on expense report). Btw, I have found that I AM partial to Issan girls, friendlier, generally like it front, back and any ol' way! What do you guys think?

I was thinking of comming to BKK in time for the Chinese New Year (Jan. 26, 2009).
1. Is it in fact worth while to come for the festivities and how long do they last?
2. Will the hotels be very busy and if so, from when to when?
3. In case I cannot get a suitable hotel for that period in BKK, would it be easier (hotelwise) to 'do' Pattaya in the mean time?
Thanks for your info.
I am planning to be there in bangkok around 10-15 Oct..
Also please suggest me a good hotel in Pataya
Dracula12,
If money isn't a big issue, give the Marriort at Royal Garden a try. Very nice right in the middle of the action. Close to the beach, Walking Street, shopping , etc.....

I was there last year and pretty much like any regular Jan/Feb period - it's still high season. Unless you're going to Chinatown area, not much difference - it's not like China where all the girls go home!

1) No really in Bangkok, some activities in Chinatown, but basically this is just a long holiday here in Thailand.
2) Hotels will be full, Singapore and Hongkong tourists are flooding Bangkok
3) Pattaya will be busy, too. Half of Bangkok residents will be there.

Hi No you cannot get a sky train. The best way would be for you to get a taxi from Bangkok to Pattaya.Then you can go from one hotel to another.
Which bus station can I get the bus to hua hin from BKK on a weekday?
What times do the buses start running because I would like to be on 1 of the morning buses so I can arrive at hua hin around 1pm?
How much would a normal (non-VIP) bus cost?
Oct 9th-is a travel day from hell, I'm travelling from hua hin back 2 BKK then right away down 2 Pattaya, if the bus station I am using for hua hin isn't Ekkami, how much would the cab be from south station 2 Ekkami?
Is the bus 2 & from hua hin express bus like there's an express bus 2 Pattaya?
Thank you very much & hope 2 see a few of you soon--Oct 5-17th.
To get back to the airport to fly to Cambodia I decide to take a taxi. When booking taxi I meet a guy who was also booking taxi same time. Of course we agree to share, and arranged to meet next morning at 11:30am. Unfortunately I overslept and woke up at 11:45. Keeping it short, I missed the taxi. Packed case, paid girl and hotel and booked another taxi. Now 1000thb + tolls as no 800thb taxis available. I have a 30 mins window. 2 hours to last check in time and a 1. 5 hrs journey ahead, so no room for any more mishaps. All ok until 50kms away from Airport and I notice that driver is falling asleep. I asked him, if he wanted me to drive, but he said no, he was ok! I was not convinced as every 5 – 10 mins his head would drop sharply and I could see he was struggling to keep awake. I have been in this situation my self, and know how dangerous it is, so I always pull over and cat nap. Due to time limits this was not an option now. Not only was I stressed about getting to airport on time, without any hold ups, I now had to worry about not crashing! This whole trip was turning into a nightmare fast. At this point I decided that all future trips, I would go by bus. You are higher up, and have a better view. If there is an accident, chances are what you hit will be smaller, and you will be better off.
So for my next trip to BKK Airport, I booked the bus from bus station in Pattaya. Buses leave 1 – 3 – 5 – 7pm at 150thb. I took the last bus at 7pm left spot on time and at 8:30Pm I was getting off at BKK airport! I am sure it traveled faster than a taxi! From now on it will be the bus for me!
The taxi did eventually get me to Bkk airport, on time and in one piece, but it is one white knuckle ride, I will not Forget!

The Southern Bus Terminal (sathanii sai tai mai) is now located on Phutthamonthon Soi 1 in northern Thonburi. Long-distance buses leave from here to destinations like Hua Hin and other places in southern Thailand. I think if you book a ticket through certain agencies on Khao San Rd....they provide a shuttle to the station for minimal cost. I cannot answer your whole question.

There web sites that would deal with such detailed questions.
So simply do a Google Search including words: bus, Bangkok, Hua Hin and how can you miss?
BTW, the word 'to' is not too long to type since we are using a full keyboard. ISG does not encourage SMS style texting but we do use abbreviations for common phrases.
If I was going to Sai Tai Mai (new bus station for travelling South) which is strangely located North West of BKK proper over the river, I wouldn't want to be leaving from Ekkamai (said the Irishman) LOL.
The fastest taxi route might be a rather circuitous one via expressways. Could go part of the way on BTS. I don't know the price, but who cares? Normally time is more important than a few bucks for the taxi.
Am planning a visit in the 1st half of the month. Anyone around to greet & meat? Could host a happy hour depending on who's in. May not be all that as there won't be any Tansak KTV. PM availability/ideas. Will have more champagne for Giotto.
I will go on 17 October the first time, who will go too?
Two months in the States and it's getting cold and everything is done. LBM is on his way to the Airport. A short stop in HK and back to LOS!

Hi,
Could I get some info on the train system in BKK?
What is the difference between MRTA and BTS?
Are they linked together at any station?
Can you buy a ticket that will let you travel all day on both or is it 2 seperate tickets?

Separate tickets. I don't even think they have all-day ticket, but not certain. Have top up cards that deduct for each trip based on how many stops.

Greetings Juan73,
With all due respect, why did you post this in the [b]TRAVEL PLANS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS[/b] thread?
The problem here is that the [b]TRAVEL PLANS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS[/b] thread is one of those threads that is slated to be regularly purged of ALL posts under the assumption that these travel announcements have no lasting value. Unfortunately, this would mean that all of your valuable information will be deleted in the next thread cleanup.
Anyway, moving one report is a 4 step procedure, so it would be easier for me if you would simply re-post this in one of the discussion threads.
In the future, please consider that the [b]TRAVEL PLANS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS[/b] thread is for posting [b]ANNOUNCING YOUR TRAVEL PLANS[/b], not for travel questions, travel advice, etc. If members start posting questions and advice, then the [b]TRAVEL PLANS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS[/b] thread quickly becomes a General Discussion thread, and then we no longer have a thread to announce travel plans.
On behalf of your fellow Forum Members, [i]Thank You![/i]

I'm posting this on behalf of the guy, who is arranging the meet-up and wrote the text. He uses the handle bangkapiboy on the Pattaya boards. I went to the first meet-up and it was a lot of fun. If any ISG members in NYC decide to attend, just look for the table with the Pattaya sign.

[b][blue][size=+3]The New York [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url]-up is planned![/size][/blue][/b]
Where: [b]Rudy's Bar and Grill[/b] 627 9th Ave near 44th Street in Hell's Kitchen
Date: Wed 12 November 2008
Time: 7pm and on.
I posted the meet on 2 other boards as well. Come out and hang with us. I want to get the New Yorker Pattaya board members together. This bar is cheap as hell so you can save money to get back to Thailand! Don't believe me? Look at the drink menu. They even give you free fucking hot dogs as much as you need. It is an dive bar with a long history that has become an institution. If you're a New Yorker, you need to know about this place. I will find a table (inside or in the outside back area if it isn't cold) and put a piece of paper on the table that says "Pattaya" (thanks to Evil for this obvious but brilliant idea!)! If you get there first and see a table then you take it and put down a piece of paper that says Pattaya. Deal? Come find us. This bar isn't that big, so should be easy to find each other.
January 7th, Bangkok then pattaya.
Any friends here, lets hook up.
No departing flight allowed out of Thailand but you may still enter.

Well, Looks like i am flying into Singapore instead.
Flights into Phuket are a bit high.
Any suggestions on places to fly from Singapore ?
To go Surfing and Diving and... :)
Thanks
My guess is Bangkok will be shutdown for 1-2 weeks.
Even if it opened today, it would take time to repair all the damage the demonstrators caused.

Depends on the airline, BKK is closed for sure.
I chose Singapore because it had more options to go elsewhere by bus or air.
You can get an overnight bus to Bangkok from Southern Thailand or take a ferry.
I might have otherwise gone to KL, but it wasn't a protected destination.

Hi,
I am planning my first trip to Thailand from India. Never have been to this part of world and heard quite a lot about good time here. Anyone have availability / ideas for fun in Thialand, PMs are welcome. I am looking help for tips on hotel, city to choose, expenses etc.
I am little disturbed on Airport seize.
Pl help. Pl PM if you need more inputs from my side.
I have been few times,please advise what help you require.
It all depends how many days you want to spend,invariable mongering tourists invariably travel to Bangkok and or Pattaya.
Both have innumerable options,Go Go bars,pick up joints,massage parlours,there also you have various kinds of massages,though with happy ending.
Personally,at Bangkok,I prefer to stay in Sukhumvit area,where practically all action can be found.
Patpong to my experience and and knowledge is rip off.Nana and Soi Cowboy are better choices.There are Escort agencies and free lancers,depends what is your choice.
Hotels and guest houses are by the galore,depends what you want and what is your budget,in fact there are couple of hotels which have inhouse massage parlours.
Food wise,I guess you can go for any cusine and any budget,fine dinning to street food.
Budget wise,you can get a guest house/smaller hotel @ Baht 1000,or even low if you want,hotels can be from bahts 1300 to Bahts 7000.
Having fun,freelancers can be available as low as Baht 1000,gogo bars,you can end up typically around 2 to 2.5k,massage around same,escorts you could shell 5k +
If you go through the forum you have all the answers,but feel free to address the specifics
The airport seize is over
Have Fun and be safe

Those flights were discontinued in July. The load factor had been OK, but with fuel prices soaring, the JFK-BKK nonstop was losing major money for Thai. I wish they'd start it up again, say twice a week, but I doubt that will happen in the near future.
There are dozens of one-stop routes between JFK and BKK, but the quickest are via Tokyo or Hong Kong.

I flew this flight on Thai Air last year and it was wasn't bad. About 18 hours each way, but they did away with this.
I have been seaching every day for the cheapest and shortest flights from JFK to BKK and have found Cathay has the best prices and shortest layovers. If your going to book, wait till Jan 2009 as the airlines will drop their prices down then.

The price could go up as airlines or agents sell some seats between certain dates as at a discount. So when they have gone or the offer period has finished then the price goes up.
I have found that always best to book as soon as possible .
All Airlines sell tickets in advance. For advance as a example they start selling tickets in the beginning of September for the holiday season. Beginning of January they will be selling tickets for Spring and so forth in quarters. Within that quarter if they don't sell tickets they will start to issue more tickets to travel agencies and their code share partners. As the quarters start to end and tickets are unsold then the airlines will then start gaining those unsold tickets back and discount them on their own personal website. These are the offers or promotions that are good deals if you fit the airlines arrival and departure dates. The lenght of the stay will usually determine the cost of the ticket. Pretty much what ThaiLearner is stating.
Concerning the fuel surcharge only time will tell if the other airlines will folllow. Some are wondering why surcharges are still in place for so many airlines? One of the main answer is that Airlines hedge their fuel purchase. Although the fuel cost now is at unbelievable levels compare to a few months ago many airlines hedge fuel at 120-125 a barrel when it was at 140-145 a barrel and might be using fuel that was purchased at 120-125 a barrel.

Hi all,
I'm in Pattaya now (15 dec) and will be here till jan 2nd 08
Anyone up for meeting up for drinks drop me a line.
Hi guys
I'm planning to have a couple of weeks in Thailand in February. I've been to LoS a few times so I know my way around.
Where would you recommend for a combination of nice scuba diving during the day, friendly girls and good night life? My instinct tells me PhiPhi (Phuket) and Koh Samui would be good but I'd welcome any other ideas.
How much should this cost me, either taxi or bus.
How do I do this?
Thanks
When you get to the airport, avoid the Taxi touts inside the airport. They are well dressed kids who will politely ask you if you need a taxi, where you are going etc. Just smile at them and go outside to the Public metered taxi stand. The lady at the desk will give you a ticket and there is a line of taxi's waiting for your business. Cost to the Nana hotel should be a little less than 400 baht. Your cab driver will ask if you want to take the toll road. You should say yes and he will then ask you to give him money for the toll (I think the total is 70 bht) or he will add it to the bill.
Whenever I use cabs I always try to have correct change. If you don't have baht, there are plenty of ATMs and a big Money Exchange stand at the luggage pick up and there are plenty of places in the airport to make change.

Tai finally knocked about $200. 00 off their LAX flight. I jumped all over it.
In the past, the best deal for me was Cathay deal-of-the-month out of JFK or LAX, but remember, you have that final lay-over in HK en route. That final leg was a short hop, but it was one more landing and take-off, and one more layover, and one more opportunity to lose your bag.
Right now, this new fare from TAI is dead close to the best price you can get at Cathay. And it's direct into BKK. A real bonus, and you don't arrive at mid-night. If you can get yourself to LA with some miles or a cheap domestic flight, the hop to BKK is best out of LAX. (You can go cheaper with China Air or some Korean bucket shops, but your final leg will destroy you. 7+ hours out of Seoul or Tokyo or Beijing. A killer.)
Economics: the best minds on the planet cannot figure out how Airlines set fares, so don't expect genius here. But. I could not understand how TAI was sticking to the high prices after the mini-revolution in November. Tourism is appx 13% of their GDP and it went to zero. Add to that, TAI was losing appx $13million per day. And prices weren't coming down through December after things opened up. WTF? On close inspection of my fare details, I think what happened was this: they reduced the "tax" aspect of the ticket. I suspect the airline needs a fixed amount to run the plane (s), fuel, expenses, etc. , so they weren't lowering fares. So perhaps the Gov't stepped up and lowered their cut, probably in order to induce travelers.
Anyway, maybe that's more than you needed to know, but I'll take any reply on my note here. Info is power, right? Be cool. Jck

Can oneone advice on how to take a Bus from the Airport to Pattaya? Is 8:30 pm too late for a bus? Really wanted to save the dough for other things.
I'm looking for friends for do threesome or foursome in Pattaya or around Thailand.
What you are talking about is speculation not hedging. "If they got caught with their pants down" they were speculating and not hedging. The whole point with hedging is to "never get caught with your pants down or too far up."
All hedging is, is setting the price of the ticket based on what the futures market estimates price of fuel cost will be in the future. When a customer purchases a ticket let's say 2 months in the future you buy 2 month futures contract on jet fuel for the the estimated amount of fuel customer would use. By buying the right amount and time on the futures contract the airline will lock up the price of fuel they will have to pay. That way the airline knows it's future cost of operation.
By not hedging the airlines are essentially unable to determine if they will make money in the future. It's not a good way to run a business. If the price of jet fuel drops or rises you sell tickets at the current future prices and lock up the price. If in the future the price of jet fuel drops you loose money in the futures contract but gain by buying fuel at a lower price. Conversely, if the price of fuel prices rise you gain on the futures contract and use the profit to purchase the higher cost jet fuel. The whole purpose of hedging is reverse of speculation. You want to stabilize your fixed operating cost to know in the future that you can make a profit.
If you somehow you buy more future contracts than you have tickets sales you might as well be out of the airline business if the price of fuel drops since you won't be able to come up with margin requirement when the future contracts fall. Most airlines in the US are unable to hedge due to the large amount of collateral they need to secure margin requirements if the price of the fuel falls. Only Southwest had the balance sheet to hedge fuel prices. I am sure most of the stronger international air carriers that have a strong balance sheet are able to hedge.
The whole point of hedging is just to lock up a future price of fuel based on present tickets sales which are for flights in the future.
If the futures market contracts didn't exist and airlines wanted to protect themselves they would have to purchase actual jet fuel at the time of ticket sales and store it and release in the future when your flight takes off. Since physically storing fuel is costly, by purchasing a contract of fuel delivery in the future the airline can control costs but not have to physical store any fuel.

I saw a thing on last night's news about China Air making a similar mistake, hedging fuel costs. And not doing the right math. As you said, they were actually speculating because they bought so many contracts, in effect, over-hedging for their needs, they ended up losing huge on those contracts. Was it $900 million? I don't remember exactly, but it's wild how even a major company doesn't have the brain-power to execute the proper trade, getting caught with their pants down.

Hi Folks,
Fifty Fifty is currently planning yet another trip to LOS, a short one this time.
Approx Feb 9th into BKK for one or two nights, then to Chiang Mai for a day or so before going down to Phuket until 21st when back to BKK for a couple more nights.
Probably stay at Gullivers Hotel when in BKK, with friends in CM and the Raya Buri in Patong.
PMs, plans and meets for a beer all welcomed. Once again travelling with my open minded Kaz GF.
Cheers, FF
Hello Fifty Fifty!,
I will be seeing you soon!. I will be in Bangkok from February 11th through the 18th, then going to Phuket until the 26th, staying at the Raya Buri as well, before returning to Bangkok until? If anyone else wants to get together for a drink send me a p.m.
Hello everyone,
I will land on the 20th of jan in Thailand and I'm hoping to make my way to Pattaya. I've been down there before but I went with a family and I'm not sure how to get there from the airport directly. If you guys can help me out it would be great.

best regards,
ice[/quote]when you say krabi, i take it you'll be staying in ao nang.
was there november last year.
i found 2 sois with abouth a dozen bars in each.
first soi is almost opposite the mcdonalds, little bit closer direction of the beach.
second one is on "beach road" (can't remember the real name).
you will see a burger king, few meters closer/further there's a jewelry shop, turn left/right and you have to walk between some stalls to the bars.
there are always some girls handing out leaflets at beachroad so can't miss it. quality isn't high, but a few cute (and i emphasise few) girls are to be found.
better quality opposite mcdonalds (younger girls in general)
i drink to much but i believe the bf is 300 and i always paid 1500 lt.
there's an expensive open air "disco" on the beach with few girls.
it's no pattaya or patong, not even hua hin but there are girls to be found.
if you mean krabi town, can't really help you but saw some mp's rep001tered over town. wheter they provide or not? being thailand, some will.

greetings,
with all due respect, why did you post this in the [b]travel plans and announcements[/b] thread?
the problem here is that the [b]travel plans and announcements[/b] thread is one of those threads that is slated to be regularly purged of all posts under the assumption that these travel announcements have no lasting value. unfortunately, this would mean that all of your valuable information will be deleted in the next thread cleanup.
anyway, moving one report is a 4 step procedure, so it would be easier for me if you would simply re-post this in one of the discussion threads.
in the future, please consider that the [b]travel plans and announcements[/b] thread is for posting [b]your travel plans[/b], not for travel questions, travel advice, etc. if members start posting questions and advice, then the [b]travel plans and announcements[/b] thread quickly becomes a general discussion thread, and then we no longer have a thread to announce travel plans.

I will be travelling from BKK to Bangsaen for a couple of days,i dont mind taking the bus to see the sites & relax.
Does the bus from BKK to Bangsaen leave from Ekkami bus terminal?
If so,how often does the buses run between the 2 destination,every 30 minutes or every hour?
I will be travelling from bangsaen to Pattaya afterwards,is there buses that run the short distance between the 2 places? or do i have 2 take a taxi & how much would the taxi cost between bangsaen & Pattaya?
thanks for the help & i will see you there in 2 weeks.
I don't know if this is thr right thred. But iam going to Thailand soon and I have never been there before. Can I travel with som one on this forum I am from Sweden.
I don't know if this is the right thred. Iam going to Thailand soon and I haven't been there before. Is it some one here how can be a guide there?
When are you going?
Just got back from Thailand. Seems almost all flights back to USA leave around 2 am, plus or minus. By the time I get on the plane and settle in I'm beat. I had a layover at Inchon, and after only six hours on the plane I had been up close to 24 hours, and my ass was draggin. On the second level, up with the airlines vip lounges there is a transit hotel What a good deal. I booked 8 hrs for $60us. The room was spotless, big bath room with large shower. Lots of counter/desk space if you need to work. Kinda soft bed (for Asia). Air/Heat control, mini bar. Quiet, dark with no windows. Showered, slept six hours, arranged my gear. At checkout they dropped the bill to $48us, because I only stayed 6 hours. What a deal. The transit hotel is only 5 min for the security gate that one must go thru to change planes. Ask anyone and they will point you in the right direction. Clean, quiet eating joints on second level. There are two Transit hotels in the airport, one at each end of the international transfer areas.

Hello Friends,
I am coming to BKK on 21 Feb 09 and will stay at Pattaya for 04 to 05 days.
Any suggestions would be appreciated if I get before departure.
In a matter of hours "Urbanwildlife" will be leaving for Bangkok for some fun and excitement! :) Anyone who reads the Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and Colombia forums knows I am all about having fun and creating a party, so feel free to join in!. The first few beers/drinks are on me. :) Send me a p.m so we can set up a time to meet at "Giottos" Livingstone Lodge, as I am sure he will appreciate the business!
Tried to send you a PM, but you're not set up to receive them.
I've managed to clear my schedule and can come to Thailand next week, Feb. 23rd to 26th. Let me know if you're still in town.

We can also meet up in Pattaya: much fun overthere.

See you in the land of smiles!

Fellow Mongers,
I am planning my 3rd visit to LOS for 18 days next August low season in oder to benfit from the recession First time been to Bangkok and phuket and second time it was Pattaya on new years eve 2006/2007.
So now as usual I will need your inputs
With respect to Bangkok (4 days) I am fine with Majestic Grande nice super hotel around 100US$ good reviews and in the middle of sukhumvit road although I would have loved to Stay at LL and meet our GODFATHER Gittos however I prefer a luxury hotel this time. I know about night life in Bangkok so I will be calling at spasso cm2, the rising star oil MP Tulip I would love to be pampered by the infamous Miss Yok and partners may be Annies or Emmunella too
Now my problem is in phuket last time (2005 post tusnami) I stayed at Patong resort it was amazing this time I heard about the Patong Beach Hotel and their offer to stay 14 nights and pay 7 nights 100US$ you will get 7 free night pay only breakfast 650 THB (18us$) total 808US$ I wonder if their policey is still GF I. E no Junior fees a colleague of Mine was there last November and they have been chraging him 1000 THB every night for bringing girls with him. I tired to get the hotel website by googling it but all my approach were fruitless can anyone let me have their e-mail address just be extra sure of their current policey.
Another option Safari hotel where my beloved savoy resturant is located it looks nice and just in the heart of Bangla road. They are quoting in their promotion 2250. THB 65US$ total 910US$.
Can you guys help me out should I stick to the old patong resort or do you have any other alternative my budget is fine anywhere from 50 till 60US$ although I would love to save money for our favorite hobby
Apperciate your comments.
Cheers!
Just so you know Delta - Asiana and Korean usually supply a room (not if you are on a free tick - supplied thru "Delta", of course - though, as I found out.) For practicality, try to get the earliest flight out of BKK and you will get the most sleep if they do provide a room. PERSONALLY, I like ASIANA better
ASK AT THE AIRLINE INFO COUNTER. Korean is the one that gives the most trouble about the "free room"
Kimo - I hope you are ready to be "wet" - the reason it's "low season" is because it's WET season. A little later - like late Sept is a LOT better
There 3 seasons in Thailand - "HOT AND WET" (May to September), "NOT SO WET AND HOT" (April and October) and "NOT SO HOT AND NOT QUITE SO WET" (November to March) :)
Dinghy thank you mate but I already know that I ve been to Thailand in the raing season first of September so don't worry man
Can you guys please help me as far as the hotels in phuket are concerned I received an e-mail from patong informing me that since I will be staying for 14 consecutive nights they will offer me a good discount 2000 THB double occupancey for standard room (last it was ok I am not sure now what I will find) as for the delux rooms 2600 THB.
I Know guys that it is still early but I would love to hear your comments!
Cheers
Guys,
I just received an e-mail from Patong Resort informing me if I will bring girl to my room they will charge me extra 700 THB WTF thus I am now limited to safari and patong beach can anyone let me have the e-mail of patong beach to contact them to be extra sure that they are GF.
The "diving in Thailand" idea has worked again at home!
So Im in Bangkok 28-31 March
then Phuket until April 10
Staying at LL while in BKK (where else!)
and gone for the Yorkshire while in Patong as its so close to Bangla - useful for the ST options I hope!
Flights not as good as Id hoped - spent 1 1/2 hours in Trailfinders finally got Prem Economy on Eva for £970 including the internal flights on Thai
Thai wanted £3000 for the trip!!
Howdy, heading in from UAE to visit Thailand for the first time. Still trying to do a little reseach here.
Found a couple Hotels in Pattaya: Queen Vic and Beach Inn (on walking street) both GF and low cost. Although I have yet to find the latter's exact location.
Couple question re: Phiket/Patong area. Looking to do some diving around James Bond Island, but also play on the land. Any sugestion on Hotels in that area/near some good girlie bars?
In BKK I have free nights at Hilton to use. Although I do not know which I should choose. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
If you have any sugestions-thanks -If you are heading to UAE PM me, have a few excellent numbers if you like cute fillapino and CIS girls.
Guys,
Can you please furnish me with the contact details for the Patong Beach Hotel to ascertain that they are still GF there offer to stay 7 nights and take another 7 free is very tempting but I aint want to find my self paying 1000 THB for my TG every single night.
Safari is ok but they don't have any offers they just lowered their rates to be 2250. THB APPROX 65 US$ for the conteporary Thai Deluxe way too much for August don't you agree. It seems that the recession and the global finacial crises did not reach Thailand yet
I really appreciate your comments and if anyone have other thoughts about other promotions during August.
Thanks guys!
Anyone planning to be in Pattaya the days of Mar 12/13/14? I will be staying around Soy 8, and looking for some selfish fun! Might be fun to hang out with others who share the same. Uhm. "hobby"!

P.S. How old is your baby?
Any hotel that is not Girl Friendly, you should cancel your reservation with them and write to them saying that its now the 21st century, and if they cannot accept a "guest" then they will not get your business, and you will inform anyone and everyone possible that their hotel is "not recommened", this will include many on line internet "hotel reviews" where people can post their opinions on a hotel.
You are within your rights to do so. You cannot of course make anything up, but you are entitled to say "I do not recommend this hotel at all".
Its the only way to sort out some of these glorified assholes who are hotel managers.

Any one near Bangkok or Pattaya?
I planned to be there from March 20 till 23th.
I'll be to Bangkok 4 days from 14-18. If anybody ther ?
Hi,
I'll be in BKK from 31 March. Is there someone who want to share one or 2 girls with me.
I plan to go to beer garden soi7 sukhumvit and catch 1 or 2 girls with volonteer.
I think this might be a pretty good price for flights from SFO to Asia.
It is with EVA. Not much of a window of opportunity, only 2 days during the month of march, but here is the info anyway. BKK is $606 plus tax.
from the website :
"Last Minute Deals - Departure from San Francisco to Taipei and S.E. Asia Starting Fare from USD560* Plus Tax
EVA Airways is offering a special fare for flights departing from San Francisco to Taipei and S.E. Asia on BR17/24March or BR07/31March! To take advantage of these particular fares, tickets must be purchased on/before March 23, 2009 with qualified condition."

I search the net every day for prices on airline tickets.
I will go to Bkk on the 24th. april. I got a nice price from KLM when I booked. Now I see the prices are even more down. but thats ok.
I also try to book a ticket 28th. July to 15th. august, but the prices are just horrible.
Anyone have some advice on this. "summertime" in Thailand used to be the really low season and now they price it like Christmas??????
I can fly Aeroflot for about 8000 nok. or 800 Pounds sterling, but I still think this is expensive.
Any good advice would be apriceated!

Something to do with students going back to school, so not travelling? Also the summer time in many areas of the world is pleasant compared to the autumn and early winter.
Hey there, Ken
I have a piece of advice for you. Check from Stockholm to Bangkok. I did a search right now for those dates that you wanted to go from July to August and directly found a rate for about 6600 SEK. Equaling a bit over 5000 NOK. So. The advice would be to get a cheap plane (with Norwegian or something) over to Stockholm, and then take the plane from Arlanda. The tickets I found were with Thai too, so a good airline
Hope this helps.

I did a search on exactly those dates you wish to travel on, and on Kelkoo. Se, and get a quote of 6618 SEK through MrJet. Se. Just do a normal search and let it search for all airlines. Then choose to let it list the results by lowest price I just did it again, so the price is still valid.
If those dates arent SOLID, I would recommend doing a search on MrJet. Se instead. There's a quoted price with where you depart 29th July and go back the 16th August with Aerosvit Airlines for 5228 SEK
So. There are certainly good prices out there.

Thailand!!! However as anywhere, YMMV.
I think you may find what you are looking for almost anywhere in LOS, but as far as I can gather, Pattaya would be a good start. It really depends on your other interests too, by which I mean Touristy things etc.

Guys,
I really need your help I will be staying for 15 nights in phuket from (24/8/2009 till 7/9 /2009)obviously the only promotion is at Patong Beach hotel you stay 13 or 14 nights pay 8 the rate is 3350 THB and you pay 650 THB (breakfast)for each free night the draw back is they charfe 100-THB for guest I don't find their e-mail or number to ascertain this fact.
Can anyone recommend a good hotel near bangla,
My last stay was at Patong resort good location and price but not GF anymore 1000. THB jonior fees my only alternative is Safari Beach hotel 2250 THB for contemprary Thai Deluxe.
Any other recommendations since I will be staying in the low season I have thought may be I wait till I arrive to Bangkok and check with any travel agent may be they can get me a hot deal since I will be staying for 4 nights at MG.
Thanks guys for your usual assistance.
[QUOTE=Kimo29]Thanks guys for your usual assistance.[/QUOTE]Throwing my hat in. Local stuff:
Staying for that long you should get an apartment.
-If you want to be near the beach, (2 minutes walk) fairly close to the nighlife (10 minutes walk) try "Swiss Palm Beach", it's 1/2 block back from Graceland. Full kitchen, 1 or 2 bedroom, full living room, great pool scene, and about as 'blind eye' guest friendly as ever could be here. This is one place where, once discovered, people young and old continue to come back year after year, if that tells you anything. Simply terrific restaurant.
Swiss Palm Beach website:
[url]http://www.swisspalmbeach.com/english/index_en.php[/url]
I think that the Thai guy (that has run the front desk for a long time) is still there, his name is 'Woody'. Just call, it's a very friendly operation.
-Another place you may want to consider, which is more like your standard offbeach hotel with a great pool, is The "Yorkshire Inn". Beach is 5 min, and Bangla is 2 min. Guest friendly, just make sure to cover it by making the rezzies for 2. If you get an apartment you can have as many guests as you want. Heh.
Yorkshire Inn website:
[url]http://www.yorkshireinn.com/index.html[/url]
Agoda.com has the best rates for the Yorkshire.
-If you want an outstaningly cheap room, with a back door key of your very own, and more of a local style (Don't blow money on shit that doesn't count). Go to Harry's Steakhouse. 1 min to the beach, 3 min Bangla. Upstairs rooms, no pool. But the rooms are great and you are right in the middle of everything. (A Swedish friend stays there for 2 months a year and loves it) Approximately 800 Baht/night. The restaurant is excellent, and there is a Big One grocery next door, Subway Sandwiches next to that.
Harry's website:
[url]http://www.harrys-phuket.com/harrypatong.htm[/url]
If you do call Harry's Patong for reservations, tell them that your friend knows "Michael" the owner.
Hope that helps some Kimo. Those other places you mentioned are pretty cold and impersonal IMO.

Try Lawan residents, very close and good price!
You can google them.
Ok due to a change of work plans I find myself free for 3 weeks or so, heading off to LOS on Wednesday 1st April. As usual taking my ''interesting'' Kazakh Girlfriend with me, I've had all the 'Coals to Newcastle' jibes, but what the heck.
Intention is to go to Pattaya for the first few days, no idea where we will stay yet, but probably Areca Lodge or similar, after all there are plenty to choose from.
Then onward to Koh Chang for a week or so, also nothing booked yet, but we will probably stay south of White Sands area.
Anyone up for a beer or chat, give me a PM. My girl is interested in seeing a decent show, so any advice on where to go also appreciated.

Dear Barko,
Thank you very much mate for this info highly appreciated.
i have checked the website and i think yorkshire is the best hmm at the rate of 1500.THB approx 43 US$ x 15 = 645 less than any of the resorts by 255US$ namely safari beach hotel although that hotel is in the heart of everything do u think that for 255 US$ it worth it to stay at safari i am not an appartment guy prefer to be in a resort!
So any other options?
Thank you for your help.

I meant a show such as in Cowboy - Long Gun or Nana - Angel Witch.
Nothing special, but half decent, entertaining etc. She enjoyed them both and I wondered what was available of a similar type in Pattaya.

My pooying has said the red shirts are heading to Bangkok on the 8th or 9th of April, she said they might try to blockade the airport. I can't see the Thai government allowing it to happen a second time with the loss of revenue and damage it creates to numbers of tourists.
Anybody else heard any reports of a similar nature.
I leave on the 8th at 22:00 may the force be with you.
Can the red shirts REALLY be that STUPID? They are "working class" - it will hurt THEM more than it will hurt anyone ELSE.
Brathet Thai STILL hasn't recovered from the double whammy of a global recession and the LAST airport shutdown :(
I think this subject has been spoken many times.. Thai's will bite the hands that feeds them! It didn't stop the yellow shirts.
Red shirt I hear many are being paid 300/500 baht a day to go out to show a force being funded by Thaksin? The dates method happens to be the start of the Asean Summit in Pattaya on the 8,9,10 if April, Funny the timing. The question here is whether the police and Army which I hear supported the yellow shirt silently allow it to be done peacefully?

[QUOTE=Kimo29]Can anyone recommend a good hotel near bangla.[/QUOTE]Hi Kimo29,
The hotels below are all GF. Most of he beach hotels are NOT, this is why I would not stay there!
There few hotels in the immediate neighbourhood of Bangla road.
PS hotel: walk o Bangla: 20 secs. Would not recommend it. Noisy, old fashioned but probably the second best location.
C&N hotel: walk to Bangla: 30 secs. I've stayed there two times, quality hotel, reasonable prices, rooms at the back side are better (calm), no pool. Free airport pickup if you stay 3 nights.
The White Rose: walk to bangla: 40 secs. 3 suites only, a few yards away from the Yorkshire Inn, never stayed there (saw it from the outside) but it seems really excellent! Pool is shared with Tai Life (next door).
Ricos Hotel: walk to Bangla: 10 secs. This one is not in the neighbourhood anymore, it is on Bangla road.
K Hotel: walk to Bangla: 30 secs. Lost in a beautiful garden but so central position. Has got a pool!
These are the closest hotels to Bangla, but of course there are many more! And hundreds of guesthouses.
Be careful when you see the hotel location on a map present on its website! What seems to be yards away become often a 5 or 10 minutes walk! My choice was to always stay next to Bangla, up to you to make your choice.
I am just curious where folks are turning to to get good airfares to LOS and back. I fly out of SFO, and am looking to go back in October. I've looked on cheapoair.com, and even Singapore air seems to have some good deals, and every Sunday in the paper I see cut rate fares advertised, but when I call those places, surprisingly the fare isn't available.
Any hints that would make it easier to visit more often?
Will be in Pattaya from around 17 to 27 April, so if anyone is up for a few beers and swapping war stories, send me a PM.
Coming out from SFO, myself I have used many airlines in the past but now prefer Eva Air. because of the service and the fact that it goes to Tapei instead of through Narita. Recently and many of my buddies also use Eva are here now and the price they pay for coach just under $800 USD. Last summer it was at $1100 USD. Of course no one knows what it will be now since your plans is so far down the road. But you can log in to EvaAir.com and place you dates and give it a try!

The Sunday paper ads are a good way to go. If you get a place that says the flight is booked then they never actually had the flight at that price but are just fishing for people. Call several places and see. There are travel agencies that perform a clearing house function for the airlines and sell off under booked flights for cheap. They usually have small adds in the travel sections listing cities and prices. You will know which are 'legit' by the size of the ad (small) and that they advertise during the week also.
There is nothing wrong with flying through Narita. It actually has a cheaper tax structure then most North Asian airports and the setup is nice. you do not need to walk far for food and or places to smoke.
The main trick to cheap airfares are thus:
1. Flexibility on departure day and times.
2. Late booking, I know the airlines say book early but they only say that to sell flights to full. As a flights departure gets closer, the more desperate they get to sell it full, so they lower the price. But they do this thru the clearing house agents (as mentioned above).
3. Be willing to make between 2 - 4 stops. As an example if you fly out of Portland you may first go to Narita then HK then onto Bangkok. If the travel agent can place you on under booked flights through out your trip the cheaper it will be. This may not be a nice way to travel but it still better then when we had to use boats! lol
4. Be flexible on your return date. As an example say you want to leave between July 4-6 and return Aug 1-3. With this they can find the best rates!
5. Tell the Agent you want the lowest fare possible and shop around. Be willing to fly different airlines during your trip. Airlines have partnerships and try to move people around to fill short sold flights.
If you will be traveling alone follow these tips to help upgrade your trip to even out the hassles.

EVA is heavily discounting fares right now. All you have to do is look on their website, insert some dates, and tweak it around a little. if your dates are not available, try other dates, if you hit a wall, exit the site and come back, it changes all the time.
It took me 3 minutes to find this: LAX-BKK-LAX 4/26 to 5/18 RT: [b]$672.40 USD TOTAL.[/b] And, yes that includes everything, fuel surcharge, all taxes, etc. (Base rate w/fuel = $596, then $76.40 in tax.) That is as freakin cheap as I have seen ANY CARRIER in a long long time. SFO departures are just a tiny bit more. (EVA is not bad at all: Economy 34" seat pitch, 17+" seat width, almost as fast as the THAI Air nonstop, and if you're ballsy & a little lucky-some hot Chinese 'tang to tease on the way.)
Dirty ass, ground level, stupid fucking cheap. I was going to say a bunch of other dumbshit stuff here, never mind.
Look: Seriously. No bullshit, no excuses, don't think, and stop dreaming. Pack your bags, it's time to hit Bangkok.
I've been with the airlines for nearly 30 years and trying to beat them is going to be hard. There are so many variables to their fare structures. As to the request that you are looking for a fare in October, so much can happen between now and then. If things turn around by October the fare could be back up to 1200USD or if you're lucky things goe bad and the fare is low. But if you been going to Thailand for years then you know that the fare Barko quoted is damn good no matter who is offering it! Now I'm not sure you can even get that fare now for a trip in October and it's going to make a difference when you leave and return. When it comes to Eva, put in different days to depart and arrival, play around with the dates because different times of the season and days Eva has a late afternoon flight out of SFO, that is slightly cheaper.
What do you do? Sometimes people lose their common sense when it comes to money! You have to balance things out and figure out what is reasonable. When it comes to flights that make several stops and save you only 150 USD but take 8 hours longer I say forget it " time is money " I had friends ask me to book them a flight to Thailand that was cheaper by a small amount and by the time they got to Thailand they say never again!
When it comes to Narita, from SFO, its takes 10.5 hours and then another 6.5 to Bangkok and that doesn't include waiting time in Narita. And I hate that in Narita, when you get off the plane and go through their security it seems like every flight entering Narita is going through the same check point! Crowded! SFO/TPE, is 13.5, security is short and fast and to Bangkok only another 3.5 mentally it is a better for me.
I'm checking flights now to return to SFO, round trip on Eva, in June and the price which is usually cheaper than from SFO/BKK is 39,000 baht. Should I buy now or wait? will the price go down? if I wait and the dollar weakens more vs, the baht then it's going to cost me more? Its a gamble as you can see! How much can one save or just lose out?
LBM
Thanks for all the good tips on flights! Truly, everything you need to know in the world is in this forum!
I agree with LBM and would spend a little more to get their faster. After all, it is quality time in LOS that we are looking for!
I am planning my second trip to LOS, almost exactly 1 year after my first one to Bangkok-Pattaya last August. This time I will be taking 2 weeks off instead of only 1, and so I am planning to include Phuket as a destination, along with BKK and Pattaya. Here is my plan, 4 month ahead of departure, tweaking it daily to enjoy these 2 weeks as much as possible. I really need them to survive the next 50, until my next trip there.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated (last year's feedbacks were so useful btw, thx again)
Day 1: Arrive in BKK airport, take local flight to Phuket, probably Bangkok Air at around 2, 000 baht one way all inclusive.
(Q1: Should I reserve local flight to HKT ahead of time or over-the-counter prices are close enough to online pre-booking? )
Day 2: Take taxi ride to Patong (650 baht, as per this forum), check-in hotel, shower, hit the town, get busy.
(Q2: I need an above average guest-friendly hotel, my budget is 3, 000 baht per night. I don't really care about pool or view, but Rooms and Bathrooms should be spotless, almost immaculate, without any crawling insects, so a higher room in "vertical" hotel would be better than a "horizontal" one I guess)
Day 3: Phuket! Breakfast, Soapie, chill swim tan, Lunch, foot massage etc. Nightime, hit the town, get busy.
(Q3: If you could recommend only 1 good massage spot in Patong, it would be? And what are the latest "recession" prices around down in Phuket? )
Day 4: Phuket! Breakfast, book some tours (Islands, Elephants, Monkeys, Snorkeling), lunch, chill tan swim, shower, hit the town, get busy.
(Q4: Which touristic day tours/activities would you recommend for a solo traveller? How about bringing a ladyfriend with me? Will I have to pay the same farang charges for tours/activities for her? )
Day 5: Final Night in Phuket! Get smaaaaashed.
Day 6: (Late) Check-out, airport, take local flight to Pattaya (probably Bangkok Air at around 2, 100 baht one way all inclusive). Check-in hotel in Pattaya, rent scooter (200 baht anywhere) and revisit the arteries of last year's wonder-town that opened my eyes to a new world of debauchery! Last year I stayed at the Dusit Thani using complementary vouchers that I bought very cheap on the internet.
(Q5: This time, I need an above average guest-friendly hotel, my budget is 3, 000 baht per night. Same criteria as Q2 above. I really can't stand roaches)
Day 7, 8, 9, 10: Pattaya!
(Q6: Any first-hand recommendations regarding day activites and local food, etc? )
Day11: Check-out from Pattaya, and take Taxi to Bangkok (1, 500 baht one-way, same as last year I guess). Last year I stayed at the AMAZING Majestic Grande. Guest-friendly, great 24hr room service, 4 star cleanliness, 5-star staff and housekeeping, I highly recommend it, all for 3, 300 Baht, but well worth it if it's you first visit to LOS, as you may need such a "sterile" recluse after your first couple of days there. This time, I am thinking of booking in their sister hotel Majestic Suites, great ratings without all the "extras" and for half the price. Option 2 would be the new Dawin opposite to them on Sukhumvit Soi 6, of which I received great feedback, at same low price range.
Day 12-13-14-15: BKK! Patpong, Nana EP, Soi Cowboy at night. As for daytime. (Q7:5 days in BKK go by in a flash, as per my first experience last year. Any suggestions on daytime activities other than shopping. Are Wats worth visiting, more than one I mean? Or you've seen one you've seen all? The Chao Praya is a must I guess, what else could you suggest? )
And here's my daily tentative budget, without Hotel or intercity transportation:
Food: 3 x 300 Baht = 900 Baht (Q8: Is it safe to eat from food-carts? Looks and smells amazing, but hesitant to risk it and waste 2-4 days recovering)
Taxis and/or scooter: 500 Baht per day (is this good estimate? 500 for BKK, and 300 + scooter for the beaches? )
Drinks: 1, 000 Baht (Q9: what is the rate of liquor bottles, say a bottle of Johnnie Walker whiskey or similar from shops)
Lady Drinks: 600 Baht (Q10: Assuming 50 Baht times a dozen drinks, is this realistic? I was so drunk all the time last year I have no Idea how much I spent during the whole week, but now with the recession, have to be careful hehe)
Misc. Massages and Soapies: 1, 000 to 3, 000 Baht (your input here? )
L. T. : 1, 500 to 2, 500 Baht (feedback? )
Minimum daily: 5, 500 Baht
Maximum daily: 8, 500 Baht
Average per Day without Hotel: 7, 000 Baht (Drinks, food, taxi, girls)
(Q11: Am I completely off-target or does this sound close enough? )
Phew! Sorry for the long and mainly inquisitive post. However, if you can give your opinion or feedback, even on one or two of the Questions, it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and Thanks in Advance.

Bkk-Hkt (phuket) I would book your flight on the internet as you will get a better rate and saves any hassle at the aiport in Bangkok.
You can use Bangkok air, Thai air or Air Aisa.
When you leave Phuket airport (outside the terminal)turn right and you will a large hut where you can get a meter taxi will cost about 500bht.
Prices are higher in Phuket than some other places and I have found pattaya to be cheaper.
[url]http://www.patongbaygarden.com/rates.htm[/url] try here for your hotel it is one place that someone else mentioned to me. I normally stay in cheap and cheerful places.
The only soapie in Patong is Christins I have not been there so do not know what it is like. There are plenty of massage places that offers extras.
Depending on where you are(Bangkok Pattaya, Patong) Bar fines can be 200-700 personally I would not pay more and for the girl 500-1500st and 1000-2500lt.
In Thailand when business is bad then prices go up.
A cheap beer would be 50 bht a bottle but you could pay 150 bht. Lady drinks could be anything from 80-200bht per drink.
You can get street food no problem for about 50 a small meal sometimes the restaurants are worse than the carts and nice sit places can give you good meals for cheap prices.
The tuk tuk in Patong are a rip off I tend to walk around the place.
In pattaya use the Baht buses cheap and plentiful. I do not see the point of renting a bike plus you cant use them if you have a drink.
You can get a taxi back from Pattaya aiport to Pattaya from the airport but they will rip you off. I f you pre book Mr T he will charge 6-700bht or you can get a minibus for around 300bht but will only drop you off in certain areas of Pattaya.
Mr T will charge about 1000 from Pattaya to Bangkok.
have fun
Try lawan residence in Patong, close to mall and Bangla road. You can google them. Good rate, comfortable, and they will pick you up FREE!(add tip for driver) if you request airport pickup!

Hi guys,
I'm in Thailand until the 28th where I will be in BKK (where I am right now) and Pattaya (in maybe a week).
Id be glad to share a beer and chat with anyone so please send a PM if you want to.
Planning on going to Bangkok this July 19th to the 31st.
I have traveled to many other countries, but this is my first trip to Thailand.
Looking to meet up with anyone interested in getting a cold one and seeing the "sights" Feel free to PM me.
I was wondering if anybody else on this forum has had problems with passports expiring in less than 6 months.
I was planning on traveling to Thailand on 4/19/09 and returning 5/4/09. I thought I was fine with these dates since my passport does not expire until 5/20/09. But just now, I read on a hotel website that the passport must have at least 6 months of remaining validity. Then again, the U.S. Dept of State site does NOT mention this requirement.
So, which is it? Has anyone tried and succeeded in entering Thailand with a passport expiring in less than 6 months?
PLEASE HELP!!! My travel window is closing and I can't wait for a new passport!!!
[QUOTE=Big Bopperino]So, which is it? Has anyone tried and succeeded in entering Thailand with a passport expiring in less than 6 months?[/QUOTE]Well actually, the 6 month validity is pretty common, if I remember well its the same in Indonesia and lots of countrys.

I did have that issue last year when I entered Thailand. My passport just happened to expire in about five month and twenty days. The immigration officer had to flag down one of his superior to look at my passport. After looking at my passport and went to all the pages-it had about 30 pages added to the original 'thin' one- he asked : you came to Thailand many times ?. I answered many, many, many times. He told his underling to finish processing the passport and let me through. I still think it is best not to have to deal with this issue as they might elect to send you back on the next plan at your own cost.
[QUOTE=Big Bopperino]Has anyone tried and succeeded in entering Thailand with a passport expiring in less than 6 months?[/QUOTE]
Your problems might not start in Thailand. You run the risk of being refused boarding by the airline company, because if you are denied entry in Thailand it is their responsibility to send you back to your port of embarkation.
I would therefore advise you to connect your airline company a.s.a.p.
I am thinking of traveling to LOS (mainly BKK) next week. Political unrest in Thailand is fairly constantly in the news, but not a whole lot of coverage, so wanted get any perspective that people on the ground might be able to provide. Do things feel safe in BKK? Would you have second thoughts visiting now? I would highly appreciate any thoughts from those already in the country.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

depends on your threshold for danger. last week, as the red shirts were occupying all the major intersections in bkk, i stubbornly plowed ahead and took a bus from ekkamai to pattaya. actually, the hour before i left i heard on the news that the demonstrations had moved down to pattaya, and that they were storming the asean conference. i said fuck it, and went anyway.
not a single problem. the bus zipped down the highway at super speed due to decreased traffic, no stops along the way, no police problems, no red shirts to be seen. i got into pattaya, and everything was depressed there during the day, but at night, everything was pretty much normal. i heard that many people had cancelled (my hotel told me that), so there are others out there with a lower threshold for danger, i suppose. but the most dangerous thing i saw the whole time i was there was the ass on the girl i took home on sat night.
i then returned to bkk a couple of days later on the day the pm declared a state of emergency in bkk and surrounding areas. see, i am one clueless moron, but it works for me. i took a taxi from pattaya, and the driver seemed a tad nervous. but i encountered not a single problem.
so the answer to your question, from my albeit limited experience, is that there really is not all that much to worry about. no airport closures this time, no serious riots, no attacks on foreigners etc. i think their beef is not with us, it is an internal thing, so they really are not interested in disrupting the flow of tourist dollars.
[QUOTE=Big Bopperino]I was wondering if anybody else on this forum has had problems with passports expiring in less than 6 months.
I was planning on traveling to Thailand on 4/19/09 and returning 5/4/09. I thought I was fine with these dates since my passport does not expire until 5/20/09. But just now, I read on a hotel website that the passport must have at least 6 months of remaining validity. Then again, the U.S. Dept of State site does NOT mention this requirement.
So, which is it? Has anyone tried and succeeded in entering Thailand with a passport expiring in less than 6 months?
PLEASE HELP!!! My travel window is closing and I can't wait for a new passport!!![/QUOTE]
While I cannot address the Thailand question specifically, most countries, if not all, require that you have at least six months remaining. If you live in a city with a U.S. Passport Center, you may be able to get a very fast renewal for a fee.
Wow thx for the great info!
The Patong Bay Garden is very interesting, on the beach, right of Bangla Rd... I e-mailed them to see if they're guest friendly.
Wainting for their reply, will post back.
ps: I noticed their prices are lowest in the low season, except in August, when I plan to be there. Anyone might know the reason?
[QUOTE=ThaiLearner]Bkk-Hkt (phuket) I would book your flight on the internet as you will get a better rate and saves any hassle at the aiport in Bangkok.
You can use Bangkok air, Thai air or Air Aisa.
When you leave Phuket airport (outside the terminal)turn right and you will a large hut where you can get a meter taxi will cost about 500bht.
Prices are higher in Phuket than some other places and I have found pattaya to be cheaper.
[url]http://www.patongbaygarden.com/rates.htm[/url] try here for your hotel it is one place that someone else mentioned to me. I normally stay in cheap and cheerful places.
The only soapie in Patong is Christins I have not been there so do not know what it is like. There are plenty of massage places that offers extras.
Depending on where you are(Bangkok Pattaya, Patong) Bar fines can be 200-700 personally I would not pay more and for the girl 500-1500st and 1000-2500lt.
In Thailand when business is bad then prices go up.
A cheap beer would be 50 bht a bottle but you could pay 150 bht. Lady drinks could be anything from 80-200bht per drink.
You can get street food no problem for about 50 a small meal sometimes the restaurants are worse than the carts and nice sit places can give you good meals for cheap prices.
The tuk tuk in Patong are a rip off I tend to walk around the place.
In pattaya use the Baht buses cheap and plentiful. I do not see the point of renting a bike plus you cant use them if you have a drink.
You can get a taxi back from Pattaya aiport to Pattaya from the airport but they will rip you off. I f you pre book Mr T he will charge 6-700bht or you can get a minibus for around 300bht but will only drop you off in certain areas of Pattaya.
Mr T will charge about 1000 from Pattaya to Bangkok.
have fun[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the replies.
I contacted the airline and the Thai Consulate this morning and both gave me the same answer - NO, I will not be allowed entry to Thailand with my current passport.
But the woman at the consulate told me that I can go the nearest Federal Building and possibly have my passport renewed the same day. I called the USDOS number and they also agreed that this is possible for a fee ($60 extra?). Luckily the Federal Building is only an hour drive away. So I set up an appointment for the morning and hopefully by the afternoon I'll have a brand new passport!!!
I'll keep you posted.

bring your airline ticket info , they can do it in a day or 2 , but want to see that you already have a ticket.....at least in LA thats how it was done

Anyone fancy some beers?
34 year old Scot, been to BKK twice and PTY one time before now, so can show a newbie a few sights, but I am by no means an expert.
Hi folks,
Looking for recommendations on a good quality 4 Star (ish) Hotel in Krabi area around middle of June.
Must be reasonably close to the action, but not too noisy, on a decent beach, have a good outdoor pool, buffet breakfast and free Wi-Fi.
I have tried the Forum Search Facility and unless I am doing something wrong, the results are total bollux, however, I do understand - This is not really a Hotel Search Site, but maybe somebody knows.
Cheers, FF
Going to Pattaya from 5/19/-June 13. Have been numerous times. If you want to catch up for beer PM me. Staying just off of Central and 2nd at Eurotel Apartments.
Hey guys.
Aussie guy travelling on his own. First timer
Keen for a beverage at some point.
Been to BKK and Pattaya, but first time for Phuket. Think I'm going to fly straight there. Any advice? Suggestions from the airport to patong?
How much does it cost to rent a motorcycle?
[QUOTE=Blueseoul]Been to BKK and Pattaya, but first time for Phuket. Think I'm going to fly straight there. Any advice? Suggestions from the airport to patong?
How much does it cost to rent a motorcycle?[/QUOTE]
Ok Airport to Patong:
If possible book a hotel that offers a complimentary pick-up, if not then use the "Airport Taxi Booth'' and book yourself a car for around 650 THB. You could save and take a minibus offered at same booth for 150 THB, but that means you will wait until they fill the bus up and then you may suffer 'drop offs'' all over until you reach your hotel. Best option if alone is to see if you can share a car with one or two others, all in for the same 650 THB.
Motorbikes:
Rentals of small auto scooters available all over town for around 200 THB per day if you squeeze them. Along the Beach Rd you can rent bikes of almost any type or size, but beware, some are crap and can be expensive.
Almost opposite Bangla Rd under a Parasol you will see the first Rental Guy, name Super-Dam, he has all sorts and is very reliable. If you are ok with it, for Phuket I recommend a slightly larger bike, especially if carrying a 'friend' up those damn hills. I rented a very good Honda Transalp 400 from Super-Dam for 7 days and paid 3000 THB paid upfront. At first he wanted 700 a day, then 500 if I took a whole week etc. Actually I got 8 days for my 3K cos the return was planned for Sunday and he wasnt there so he asked if I could keep the bike an extra day.
Enjoy yourself.

ME... but I'm only on 33 when I am in BKK :)
Send me an email I know some in BKK that might be helpful.
Air Asia is offering free flight to various cities throughout Thailand from 5 January thru 30 April 2010 but you have to book before the 15th of May. Of course you have to pay the taxes which is about 450B, nice to fly to Phuket and Chaing Mai for free.

Arriving in BKK on 3rd June, staying Sukhumvit area for a few days then maybe off to Pattaya, not yet decided.
Probably going to Dubai from 16th to 24th then back to BKK for a few more days.
As usual with my 'open minded' girlfriend in tow, visiting the usual haunts and having the normal fun time.
Anyone up for a beer and a chat, drop me a PM.

Once again I have tricked my wife. Last time was in April when I went to Bkk for 10 days just to check out the city. We are going to Thailand together for 3 and a half week next November and I managed to stay 3 nights longer then her, just because we could get a good bargain with Thai Airways that way (hrrrrmmm). I dont think she has any suspicions, but she doesn't like the thought of going back on her own. Most because she will be without my company on the plane.
Next year I'm planning another April trip, but I wonder what she will say about that??
What do you guys think? Do you think our marriage will last much longer than the 23 years we have been married this June?? I really dont think she suspicious anything, she doesn't have any idea about what is happening in the massage parleurs of Bkk and how easy it is.
[QUOTE=Dextro Sol]Once again I have tricked my wife. I really dont think she suspicious anything, she doesn't have any idea about what is happening in the massage parleurs of Bkk and how easy it is.[/QUOTE]
Where she is from that she would be so oblivious to the extra curricular activities of massage palours? Walking around Thailand and observing the circus did not/will not give her a clue? She doesn’t know about Thailand? There's a sexual connotation attached to the massage palours in general and how that escapes anyone in Thailand where this stuff is in your face is incredulous. Be careful that you don’t turned out to be the one who gets tricked; women will always be smarter than men, especially men fail to acknowledge it.
I am looking at coming to Thailand from Tennessee for 10-12 days. I am a bit torn on where to go actually, I was thinking just Pattaya, but wanted some advice. I was thinking about spending a few days in BKK (maybe up to half the trip) and then heading to Pattaya, but wanted to know what would you, the seasoned monger do? This will be my first mongering trip, so all advice is welcome.
A few questions:
1. Any better places to exchange currency?
2. Should I get a disposable cell phone in Thailand or is it really needed?
3. Any transportation options to Pattaya from BKK with a lady or two as company for the long trip? :) I know Penthouse has an option, but its very expensive.
4. Any tips/tricks to save on airfare?
Thanks for your help and advice!

We have travelled together to Thailand 4 times, most of course to the islands and beaches and of course she knows what goes on in Pattaya and Nana Plaza. But I dont think she has a clue whats going on in the massage parleurs and as we have never visited NEP or Soi Cowboy (not even I have visited those places) and just walking Sukumvit up and down has not yet given her any clues whats going on. Last trip together we went down soi 5 and 7 and even had a beer at beergarden so she knows whats going on.
But I still think she trusts me, and she has not asked me if something happened when I was in bkk on my own in April.
Maybe I'm the one that gets tricked, but I really dont think so. And even if it is so, I would not mind a divorce that much. Then I could go to Bkk maybe 4 times a year..;-)

Dextro Sol,
Maybe it's a two way street that you don't see?
It could also be possible that she feels the same way you feel inside. That she herself doesn't mind a divorce! Knowing that she's going to get half of what you own. If that's the case you might what to rethink the 4x to BKK.
But if you're loaded and after she gets the half of everything you can still afford it more power to you then!

It could have been the way you describe, but no. She really loves me. I'm not a rich guy, i earn more then her, but she could do nearly as good without me. And half of what I own is not much either. Besides she has inherited some money from her grandparents and parents, so she is rather well off.
Fellow Mongers,
I cant wait my 3rd visit to LOS next month i have grew up lots of experience from visting Bangkok, pattaya and Phuket.
16 DAYS , 5 in Bangkok will stay at MG the best hotel in town unbeatable next to Annies, NEP , Soi Cowboy.
My target for MP Tulip, Annies, Catherins and would like to check la belle the new MP and give snow white Tulip sister a try can anyone give me locations of both. Also for afernoon hunting Beer Gardern and Gulivars wont heart :)
FL Definitely Spasso, CM2 lat night it always a nice to grab a hot russian or middle easter wonder if there are nice pubs with the same rating last time i went to q bar and mystque both were dissappointment.
BY the way when i first come to bangkok i checked grance and the infamous Thermae both were horrible experiences
Phuket what to say Safari Beach hotel unbeatable location, my favorite savoy resturant checking Soi Dragon the must walk Bangla , Tiger, Banna and Hollywood which was not there when i was in phuket in 2005.
Any more suggestions will most appreciated.
As the title says, I'm in Thailand from the evening of the 3rd to the 6th, before I hop over to the Phils, then come back for 2 more days (eve of the 15th, leaving morning of the 18th).
I've heard about getting immunizations/inoculations, what do you folks do? I'm not planning on venturing too far into the country. It's getting to about 1 month to my trip so if I'm going to get them I better get them.
Orangevale Rob,
I can't speak for Phils but as far as Thailand is concern and based on the time frame. Don't even worry about it just come and enjoy!
LBM
As Jackson says, there are better places to post this, but anyway:
1. Currency exchange places all over the place, all giving competitive rates. I got caught out once when in Krabi they all closed at 7pm, but in BKK and pattaya many are open until about 10pm.
2. Up to you. Depends on phone usage, discretion, who's paying, etc. It will be cheaper but I never bother.
3. It's only about 1.5 hours depending on time of day. Why bother? - have a snooze and pick up a young lady as you step out of the cab in Pattaya. Then take her back to your comfortable hotel room. I really don't fancy making out on the back seat of a Thai cab (and I don't fancy sitting in a Thai cab if I think you've been making out in the back of one!).
4. Scan the price comparator web-sites and jump if you see a good fare appear. I have just bought a fare from the UK for July for £385 which I'm pretty pleased about.

Next week I will come to Bangkok and living in Grand Millenium, near Soi Cowboy. If possible I would be a guest at a swingerparty. I will bring my male boy friend and maybe 4 or 6 girls from soi cowboy or nana. Should it be possible?
[QUOTE=Porsche911]Next week I will come to Bangkok and living in Grand Millenium, near Soi Cowboy. If possible I would be a guest at a swingerparty. I will bring my male boy friend and maybe 4 or 6 girls from soi cowboy or nana. Should it be possible?[/QUOTE]The Grand Millenium is a rather up scale hotel, I don't know if they would like the noise that would be made from such a large gathering. I would recommend you get a private condo in that area. There are condos which can be rental on a weekly basis which cost about the same what you will be paying.
My only question is why swing in Bangkok? There are p4p girls and guys here left and right. If you want hot looking guys, they can be had at male version of go go bars in Patpong. These bars work the same way as bars in nana or soi cowboy.
The reason I mentioned this is that the working girls tend to be scare of weird or odd things like swinging parties, so you will have a harder time convincing some of the hotter ones to come. Sometime it is hard to convince them to go for a threesome with another girl from a different bar, so I am sure you're going to have a challenge getting them to participate unless you offer them a lot of money, which I think is a waste. And in some cases with the hotter ones, they make quite a bit already, so waving money at them is pointless. I know the top girls at Soi Cowboy can bring in 5000+usd per month, so they are rather picky on who to go with.
Another option is to rent our a VIP suite at a higher end Soapie massage. I know that Poseidon has a suite that can accommodate 7 girls. If you bring the guys there and get the girls, you can have a blast. I would consider getting a membership if you going to get that many girls because you will get a free Johnny Walker Black and 10% bonus, and maybe free use of the room. The minimum membership there is 30000B.
Have fun and please post a report and let us know how it went. I am hoping to get my subscription here soon, so you can PM me with questions.
Hi Andy,
Thanks for your help. But the reason to do a swingerparty is that I hope to get some non profs. To pay the girls is not the problem for me but to get some nonprofessionals with my 55 years could be very hard or cost me a lot of money. Do you understand? And I think many farangs think the same.
Please let me know guys!

Likely you'll want to look around on Adult Friendfinder or SDC.com for such parties. I knew of a couple that ran some parties but they were arrested in January. No clue what happened to them.
There is a swinger resort in Patts which has parties as well.
Hello fellow mtravellers,
I know is a long way there, but I am traveling into Thailand in August (starting to get excited already). I am doing a regular tour as well as mongering tour. I have one stupid question of a person who's never been in thai before, since I will be short in time. What are opening times for gogo bars etc? Or are they open all day? And what about going in late at night? Is it safe?
Thanks

Hi there,
Back in BKK next wekk (16th june), I am wondering if some of you want to join me for my first 3some (2 men, 1 girl)? Sukhumvit area (nana to asoke precisely).
How much should I expect to pay for a cab from Bangkok to Pattaya? Is there a particular cab company I should use? Is this the best way to get from BKK to Pattaya?
Thanks!
I rented a car and driver to get there for Php1,500 including all the tolls. It was arranged for me by Giotto of Livingstone's Lodge. For the return trip, I asked my hotel to book me a similar car and the price was the same.

The bus is quite comfortable w/ ac and zero stress.. Just show up at Ekamai bus station at Thong Lo BTS stop (day hours) and go to Pattaya window. Maybe $120 Baht, drops off at station in Pattaya and catch a baht bus in.
Always seem to chat up a hottie or two as well.

Another option is to go to Nana Hotel and book their air conditioned bus service. The cost is about 300 to 400B but the bus is never as full to capacity as the Ekami Bus so you can have the whole seat to yourself. Upon arrival at Pattaya Bus Terminal, unlike the Ekami Bus, they provide a minivan to shuttle passengers to their hotel.

- 1st night stay on Rachada at the Emerald Hotel and go to some of the famous soapies , Nataree is next door to the hotel. 3pm -12am ( midnight close) some of the best looking girls. Cost 2600B ST
-2nd night stay at the nana hotel and go to the nana plaza and bar fine one or two girls from there 7pm-2am Cost 600B Bar fine 2000ST 4000LT ( I've gotten them down to 3000BLT)
-3rd night stay at the Grand Millenium on Asoke ( 1-2 blocks down from Soi Cowboy) and experience soi cowboy. Do the same thing there.Same cost
During the day you can go down to soi 22-26 and get a relaxing massage with sex at Angel Massage or Teen Massage. Just do a search on this forum for more info. They are open from 10am and close at midnight.
[QUOTE=Rio Fan]How much should I expect to pay for a cab from Bangkok to Pattaya? Is there a particular cab company I should use? Is this the best way to get from BKK to Pattaya?
Thanks![/QUOTE]Try this out: [url]http://www.belltravelservice.com/[/url]
Excellent service - minivan from your hotel to a large AC comfortable bus and then again a minivan to your hotel from their service center in Pattaya.
Stressfree and you pay on arrival. BKK-Pattaya 350 Baht.
[QUOTE=Run Mann]Another option is to go to Nana Hotel and book their air conditioned bus service. The cost is about 300 to 400B but the bus is never as full to capacity as the Ekami Bus so you can have the whole seat to yourself. Upon arrival at Pattaya Bus Terminal, unlike the Ekami Bus, they provide a minivan to shuttle passengers to their hotel.[/QUOTE]
I'm at the Nana Hotel now, and I just asked (at Travel Desk inside lobby). The cost is 400 Baht, and you need to reserve 1 day in advance (at least that's what they say). There are two busses per day. I forgot to make note of the times, but I think they leave Nana at 8:30 am and 12:30 pm.
The last time I was in Pattaya, I got a taxi (from a Pattaya Taxi service) from Pattaya back to Nana Hotel for 1000 Baht (and, BIG spender that I am, I added a 100 Baht tip for a total of 1100 Baht).

Hello folks,
I'll be in Bangkok from 3. July until 8. July and stay probably at the Nana hotel.
As far I know it is GF?
As a bangkok newbie I want to try all, gogobars, girls for short and long time, massage at Annies and so on.
Anybody has time for drink some beer in a gogobar?
[QUOTE=Capt JB]Singapore Airlines is having a real sale from now until June 28. Must book by June 28 and travel between July 1 & November 30. Max stay is 90 days. No minimum stay.
I booked JFK to BKK (roundtrip) for $679.11 which includes all fees and taxes.
This is a great price.[/QUOTE]I went to the SA web site and did not find this low rate. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Guys,
i will be in Pattaya Jul 3 thru 17 for the first time, veteran of Brazil, Dr, Costa Rica and now Thailand. Any one there and likes to hang out and prepare strategies, drop me a line.
[QUOTE=AndyBKK]-2nd night stay at the nana hotel and go to the nana plaza and bar fine one or two girls from there 7pm-2am Cost 600B Bar fine 2000ST 4000LT ( I've gotten them down to 3000BLT)[/QUOTE]
or you get them for half of the money ... 1.000 THB to 1.500 THB for ST and 2.000 THB LT will do the job ... if not then take the girl next the her ... she will accept
don't overspend for nothing!
It's a little confusing when you first get of the plane in Bangkok. There's quite a few signs that say 'Official Taxi Service'. I knew something was up when they asked for 2, 000 BHT to my hotel. When I immediately refused they lowered it to 1, 500 BHT. I skipped this option and went to baggage claim. Then right out front of the terminal are the normal metered taxis.
It cost me about 350 BHT total to get to my hotel, Davis, on Sukhumvit road. This included the money I had to provide up front for the cabbie to pay tolls.
Going from Bangkok to Pattaya (Davis Hotel to Marriot Resort and Spa) I paid $1, 400 BHT. It takes damn near 2 hours going or coming.
Next time I'll skip Bangkok and just go straight to Pattaya as Bar fines are cheaper and women are better looking in Pattaya. Plus it's so damn hot in Bangkok with not even the slightest breeze in the evenings. Still it's a great city to visit.
I'll be back to Krung Thep at the end of next month for 3 days, so here's my plan (as far anything can be planned ... ;) )
[U]Day 1[/U]
Afternoon: Welcome back at Tulip :D
Evening: One of the students/shoolgirls at Mandarin Gogo at NEP
Late Night: Freelancer from Beergarden ([B]if[/B] there's anything left in the tank ...)
Stay at Grand Sukhumvit Bangkok
[U]Day 2[/U]
Noon: Massage (probably without any special services)
Afternoon: Snow White (let the competition with Tulip begin ... ;) )
Late Night: Girl from GoGo-Bar at Soi Cowboy or Freelancer in front of McDonalds
Stay at Westin Grand
[U]Day 3[/U]
Noon: Annie's MP
Afternoon: Good bye at Tulip ...

In my very limited BKK experience, this it still TOO MUCH MONEY. You can get good, quality GFE from NEP for 2,000 Baht. Moreover, you do not have to wait until 0200 hours.
If a girl does not like your offer, another one will. The one that rejects you one day will seek you the next day, especially if she ascertains that you treated her sister well. You simply have to trust me on this one, and I am not a master of the BKK scene. I learned this the third day of my first trip.
Will be in Pattaya for a week in August & have seen details of the Penthouse Hotel, which seems to offer a number of attractive advantages. The prices are also ok for me.
However, I would welcome comments from those of you that have experienced it. Also, is the private taxi pick up they offer good value?
I'll be in Pattaya from 5th July to 9th if anyone fancies meeting up for a beer or two. I'm looking to cruise around a few bars and be entertained by some lovely ladies...
[QUOTE=Professor 1]In my very limited BKK experience, this it still TOO MUCH MONEY. [/QUOTE]
I totally agree that it's too much money also, but the majority of the girls are getting that amount and then some. Trying to get them from 2000ST to 1500ST is like pulling teeth with some of these girls. Times have changed.

Overcharged! This can be had for 1000 BHT.
I took a metered taxi from souwannaboom airport to pttya beach rd. last year, and agreed forehand on 1200 bht; the driver happened to let the meter running and it was little over 1200 bht ... so 1200 is about 'normal'.
On the way back to lower suk i hired a privateer; cost me 1000 bht; an old mercedes 190, and the guy, although he was friendly and offered me a coke and chips on the way, drove like a fucking maniac.

That price ain't bad, but I've found over the years the trip from bkk to Pattaya is in the 800-1200 baht range. I find most will take 1000 without too much hassle, and I think that is a fair price.
I'll be in BKK, staying at Giotto's place from the 3rd to the 6th. You're welcome to join me for a beer if you like.

There are several taxi services that will wait for you with a sign and take you directly to your hotel in Pattaya for 1100 baht including tolls. Very reliable, and after 24 hours in the air who wants to haggle with a cabbie that speaks almost no English. I've used Pattaya-taxi 4 times, and they're always reliable with a clean, modern car and a good driver. Just google "pattaya taxi" for results of the other companies.

It's on the arrivals level.
Come out of customs and turn left on the concourse (theres a few juice bars, car hire desks, etc, and I think gate 10 is the last entrance on the right. There is a bridge type walkway you cross and the taxi desk is in front of you. You can see it from the entrance. Maybe 40. 50 yards.
You tell the girl at the desk where you want to go, she gives you the price and an official slip of paper and calls the next taxi for you. You pay the taxi driver when you get to your destination.

It is more than enough for Pattaya for lodging fees.
If it is during low season, you can even try for a higher-end hotel. I stayed at the Dusit Thani last August for 5,000 baht per night, half price from the walk-in quoted rate of 10,000. Even for half-price, it was a BIG mistake.
But it was my first time in LOS and I quickly checked out two nights later (two nights too many) when there was vacancy at the Mercure for less than 1,800 per night for rooms of equivalent if not better quality! (The Dusit is simply too old, too far and unjustifiably 5 starred)
EDIT: sorry, was reffering to Pattaya, and you were asking about Bangkok

And having just endured the gauntlet of taxi drivers INSIDE the terminal as you pass through customs, let me emphasize you ignore all these inside people and walk OUTSIDE to find the taxi line and desk Bonkers is speaking of. If you take one of these taxis, you will pay 50 baht airport surcharge plus meter (not a set price - meter is better... make sure they turn it on... I think there is a guaranteed maximum of 350 or so, if memory serves).
LBM, just got back to Pattaya, 12 hour Flight out of SF/TPE, went real quick on EvaAir maybe because I was just dead tired from my 3 week stay. Wanted to use some of my miles and did a upgrade to Deluxe coach once I got to S.F. 3 weeks ago, in the end they screw things up with the upgrade and assigned me window which I didn't want. They were oversold by 11 in Deluxe so I took them off hook by going back to coach with my original seat.
When I got to Bangkok, at 11:35AM, usually I like to get in the middle of the night for a number of reasons because they don't seem to check baggage as much when going out of Immigration. Once I got my bags ( Big and Heavy 2 ) and starting to walk out everyone was being waved to place all their luggage into the scanner. When my big one went through the guy on the other end pointed and pull my bag aside and ask me to open it. When I started to open I noticed that my TSA, lock was missing and as I opened the bag I noticed that there was no note from TSA, if they had opened it inside. Once open the guy that pull my bag over rush towards me and started to mentioned all the Vitamin bottles I had and the number of bags of Chinese Herbal soup mixes that my Mom had prepared for my wife. I tried to explain that my wife was sick and that's why I had so many plus it was a years supply. So when you break it down it was much. Not sure what to do at this point, bribe them with a few hundrde baht or what but the line was starting to back up.. and there were 2 others guys were being grilled. I stood there looking like WTF, and slowly Zip my bags closed and put them back on the dolly and slowly did a walk out. Man that was closed.
Now, because of the delay I missed my connection on the Bus to Pattaya on Bell Travel. Instead of wanting to wait until 14:00 I decided to catch a Taxi, surprise at the Taxi stand that I was quoted 1500, everything included. In the end by 13:45 I was home. Sometimes you just catch win!

You pay the driver upon your safe arrival at your destination. Last time my driver didn't have the 100 baht to pay for the parking at the airport when he picked me up, so I paid it and he deducted it from the fare upon arrival.
This has to be one of the great bargains in the world today. The service is located in Pattaya, so they drive to BKK (almost always without another fare), pay the tolls in both directions, pay the airport parking fee, devote at least 4 hours of their time, not to mention gas and wear and tear on their vehicles, for 1100 THB, which is $32 USD at today's exchange rate.
Have a great trip.

It is a good deal but they are still making a profit, don't think for a minute they would be doing it if they were losing money. From Pattaya to Bangkok Aiport you can secure a good taxi for only 800B from those little mini booths located around town.

Hey everyone,
I am finally getting a chance to head out to BKK in sept for 3 weeks and I thought I share some information on my trip fare. Leaving from LAX They seem to have some low fares (atleast seems low to me? ) in Sept for like $676. For those interested the site is.
Fhtmus.com/philipleong click on the link that says travel
Thanks to everyone for arming me with great knowledge and maybe my first time out there will be that much better. The ISG is top tier!
I wanted a one-way ticket since I don't know when or where I will be returning back to the USA Most of the good deals are for round-trip tickets, comparably priced one-way tickets can be hard to find. Often people can book a round-trip ticket cheaper than a one-way ticket for the same route and airline, so they buy the round-trip ticket and just skip the return flight. The way the airlines price their tickets is very screwed up.

B2007,
You can do this... when you go online with your specific airline and destination see what it cost for a oneway, then try it for a round trip so you can compare the difference. On every airline website, you will see also a box for open date, which means you don't know when you are going to return. Usually this allows somewhere between 6month to one year. The length will determine the cost.. Try this method and compare the price if you had a return date. This would give you a idea whether it would benefit you to go one way or a open ticket. You can also put in a estimate time when you think you might return and look at the provision of penalty if you change that date. In the end you are doing a comparsion to see if you should continue to buy a one way ticket or go with a penalty. Most tickets changes to Bangkok are usually 2,000 penalty. You got to play around it's a game...
Good luck, LBM

P4[/QUOTE]I really wouldn't worry about them if you're just staying in the cities. Having said that, I went trekking in Thailand a couple of years ago and got combined diptheria & tetanus jab (lasts 10 years), and a combined Hep A and typhoid (lasts 20 years for Hep A). I was very cautious the first visit and wouldn't drink non-bottled water, etc. Now I'm much more relaxed, only eat local food, usually from street vendors or local restaurants, and I've only ever had one 'incident'.

[/QUOTE]Jabs are indeed highly recommended. I jab lots of girls while in Bangkok. I tried to find someone to jab in Chiang Rai but ended up with a flat tire. There were some nice girls to jab down in Phang Na and I think I may have jabbed a girl from Hatyai while in Phuket. She was great! Don't think I jabbed anyone in Pats outside of the swinger parter where there were jabs galore.
Have a great trip!

[QUOTE=Predator 4]jabs are recommended.
P4[/QUOTE]Pita says it all about the most desirable jabs in Thailand....
However, it's a good idea wherever you are (Bangkok or Bangor), but especially traveling in the tropics to make sure your tetanus innoculation is up to date. A booster every 10 years I think is the norm.
For sensitive souls with a predilection for DATY and rimming, hepatitis vaccination might be useful.
I've been living in South East Asia for more than 10 years, traveled extensively, and had no shots at all.
The common diseases these days, like dengue, you cannot inoculate against, and a condom works pretty good against HIV/AIDS and other STDs.
Don't worry about it.

P4[/QUOTE]Being a bit paranoid myself I read the website you gave and thought, Jesus, should I really get all those, and then I stopped for a second and was curious what it had to say about other countries (like "1st world" countries). It recommends both Diptheria, Hep A and Tetnus for Japan, same for America (minus the Hep A), and I've lived in those countries without any problems. Not to say you shouldn't get the shots, especially if they will make you feel better and help you enjoy your trip more, but I think they are just being cautious and saying "hey it is possible to get these things if you are unlucky" so sit down and let the nice nurse stick you with a needle. :)
I'm making a business trip out to the Far East shortly, and my travel company has come back with a suggested stopover in Hong Kong, rather than my normal BKK.
I could make a fuss and get them to change it, but...
I've never been to HK, so it would be interesting. I've just been reading a lot of the reports (RTFF!) both here and elsewhere, and the scene looks very promising.
Does anybody who has been to both places have any specific comments on the HK scene in comparison to LOS? In particular, ease of getting LT? General friendliness or otherwise of the ladies, and language issues?
Thanks

i pulled a few times from a bar in wan chai. typically you'll find lots of pinay chicks. no problem with lt. the last time was probably 2 years ago. the scene is reminiscent of ot in sg or angels disco in days gone by. as for language, expect great english.
on the other hand you could go for the quickies in the 144 girls. these are girls that are in rooms rep001tered throughout hk where you walk the halls, knock on doors, take a looksie and decide if you want or not. mostly prc girls and no english whatsoever.

Two different types of monger scene...but both easy to get laid :)
HK thread has good write-ups - if LT is your choice, probably best bet is Wanchai bars and filipina or thai girls.
Howdy. I'll be in BKK and Pattaya Oct. 23 to Nov. 8 with a side trip to HK. Any guys interested in having a beer, PM me or post here.
Thanks. Probably staying at Dynasty Grande. Not sure where yet in Pattaya.

Have fun
Arriving in BKK 8/26 late and will be the city for 5 nights. I've always done BKK alone but thought t would be fun to hoop up with a few guys to do some bar crawling and hunting with. I'll be staying at the Majestic right around the corner from the NEP. Let me know if you want to meet for a beer. I'm an early 50's punter who knows my way around the P4P scene.
I will be traveling to Pattaya Sept 17-26.
If anyone wants to hang out let me know here on the board.

Should be a good time, I have spent all of my time in South/Central America and need some place new.
I've got about 10 days in Thailand starting Sept 7th. Though I will be busy most of that with a wedding up in the north.

Will be around before I head off to a wedding.

Brothers,
Will arrive BKK 24th Sep, booked into the Royal Asia Lodge for 2 nights, might have a third, before going to Pattaya to get knee deep until the following Friday....
Would be cool to meet up with any fellow sinners around Nana for a beer, especially any English lads, just for the comfort of the familiar I guess!
Then like I say up to Pattaya and from what I've read here these past weeks it would certainly benefit to have a banter with someone who's got their hand in, so to speak (The Departed's posts have infected me! Help me LBM!!!!!)
If anyone see's an incredibly pale, bald 30's englishman walking round nana with his jaw on the floor and a pool of drool around him.....yep, that'll be me, so say hello and give me the ISG knowing wink!
Will of course dutifully report on my experiences.

I hope you can chime with suggestions, advice etc. I have had glasses for about 6 years and I'm considering Laser surgery. In the USA the lowest quote I've had is about $3500-4000, I was wondering if someone here has tried medical procedures in Thailand, and if they know the cost of Lasik, or an estimate.
In the states the insurance does not cover it, just like plastic surgery and I thought I could try it in Bangkok, including spending sometime with the ladies there.

For Bangkok, Lasik just Google, Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok. World Class Hospital should be must must lower that U.S.

I had mine done, on both eyes, a couple of years ago in Greece for 2.500 €. My insurance agent advised me to ask the doctor to write on his report that my long sight (miopia) was more than 5 degrees and with that they covered it.
Hope it helps.

Don't know about Thailand but it cost me $600, 4 years ago in India. Prices are usually at par with Thailand, but my guess is under a $1000.
As with any procedure, go to a reputable doctor who has many years of practice and a good record. One pre-requisite is that the power should be stable for last 2 years. If not, then the Lasik may not be permanent.
Good luck.

Fuck man. 3500? I got mine done here in the states in 2001 for 998. I think my brother got a consultation at the same place a couple of years later and they were talking over 2k.
Anyway. I will be arriving in Pattaya late at night on the 16th. If anyone is around PM me.
I had lasik done at the Bumrungrad four years ago. Best thing I ever did. The price was below one third of my own country. Brought me from.6,.5.5 to.0.25, 0
Look at Bumrungrads homepage to view prices. And combine it with mongering.

You're timing is excellent as well buddy; i've got more nervous the closer it's got to my trip (less than 12 hours to flight time now so i'm like a child on christmas eve!) and the next time I get to read the forum I'll be in LOS.
So to feel a friendly welcome hand at this late stage is a great comfort. Thank you, and thanks to this brilliant forum for all the prep work I feel I've done, even though I've forgot most of it and just like school, failed to take adequate notes!

Should I get the required visa directly from the Vietnamese Embassy, or from a travel agent?

Thanks in advance,

Mouse1 I know you travel around a lot so FYI.... Vietnam visa costs 75 USD for a MNL travel agent to pick up my passport, take it to the embassy in MNL, return it in about an hour depending on traffic. That is all inclusive fee. For BKK the costs are a little lower, but can take a little longer.

Looks like I'll be in Pattaya for Christmas +/- 5 days.
I would like to know if the prices change significantly, and does accom get hard?
This forum does not say, but will tourist numbers this xmas be down on last year because of the financial and jobs crisis? Not been to LOS for years.
If Pattaya is not Christmas friendly, would I be better off at Chang Mai or Cambodia somewhere else. In a previous high season the gals were looking for 3+3+3 Japanese, and attitudes put a damper on the 'fun' factor.
What would ST, LT be roundabouts Xmas time?
Hi,
I have a question, i went through the VISA form and it is asking for "Name and Address of Guarantor in Thailand", is it mandatory for having this details for getting a Visa on arrival. Iam planning not to go via any travel agents and is planning to book tickets directly.
Also i have not visited any country via visa on arrival, any details on what they usually check when departure from home country if im going to get visa only on landing apart from basic stuffs like ID proof, air tickets and enough cash? Any indians over here who can share his experiance because im coming from there.
Any help in this regard will be much appreciated

I was in Pattaya last Christmas. I noticed that some of the hotels near Walking Street started telling people they were fully booked for the Christmas period even though they were not. This was so they could charge a high rate to walk in customers. However, further away there was no problem getting rooms. There are for instance many hotels etc near Carrefour on Soi Yume. I have never known these even put their prices up let alone be fully booked. You generally pay around 600 baht.
I also noted that Rolling Stone 2 bar increased its barfine from 300 to 500 on Christmas eve but I paid my girl her usual money.
Chiang Mai is not warm in December. Pattaya is.
I will be travelling to Thailand in beginning of december and stay for more than a month.
People tell me to take a few days in Bangkok, then head to Pattaya and stay there for some weeks, then head to a place where I can relax on the beach during the day, and meet gorgeous girls in the evening.
Since I like big cities, I was thinking to speng 5 days in Bangkok, and then head to Pattaya and stay there for 1 week. Where should I go next? Phuket? Ko Sumui? I like nightlife and girls. Phuket I heard is overcrowded with tourits.
[QUOTE=Tommyh80]I will be travelling to Thailand in beginning of december and stay for more than a month.[/QUOTE]
Book a few days then go from there. Don't book anything you can not get refunded as you might extend or leave early. Do not get sucked into saying you will go this place for XXX days then that place for XXX days.
Local book rates / walk in rates you can get pretty cheap however December is holiday season, high season, more expensive etc... so that might blow your opportunities to get some good rates at nicer places.
But if you are that wide open I'd get a ticket into Thailand and a ticket out of Thailand. Then venture where ever you feel fit. Chiang Mai for a weekend, down around phuket (north or south of it, I'm not a huge fan of phuket but have been there a couple of times).
Who told you to go to pattaya for a few weeks must be crazy as about all there is to do is to have sex around the clock :D Seriously Pattaya is built on the sex industry so a couple of weeks could be boring as you can have sex anywhere in thailand.
Read up on the places but unfortunately, some of the really nice resorts might be sold out due to the holiday season or very high prices (way over priced).

Arun[/QUOTE]I'm not sure about India. I'm from the U.S. and here's how it works for me.
Visa on Arrival.
"Name and Address of Guarantor in Thailand" is not for visa on arrival. You just fill out a card on the airplane. Name, country, passport number, place you will stay, occupation, birth date, flight you depart on, and sometimes days you'll be staying. I get 30 days on arrival. When I fill arrival/departure card they give to people on the airplane I write down that I'm staying 30 days (not 1 month, but actually 30 days). I haven't had to show my return ticket. Location I put a hotel I'm staying at, or a popular hotel. On the departure flight I put a flight number or just write the Airline I'm using. Sometimes immigration doesn't talk to me. Other times they ask why I'm here and I say "Holiday". I get a 30 day stamp, done.
Applying for a tourist visa.
If it's a tourist visa (60 days) then you leave the "Name and Address of Guarantor in Thailand" section blank. It's for some other type of visa. That's what they told me at the embassy. Some places will issue 2 (double entry) but some offer 1. If you write 2, they'll inform you if they only offer 1. Right now there's a campaign so it should be free to apply for a tourist visa.
I hope this helps you a little.
I'm in Phuket, Patong beach area if anybody wants to get together for a drink and look at some sexy ladies.

I don't have my tickets yet. Hmmmmm do I pay the $2300 now RT from San Diego or is there usually some least minute deals. Even the $2300 tickets say "Hurry only 4 remaining!". Anyone out there wait until the last few days and get a decent deal on a regular basis?
Dec19 to Jan 4 is the timeframe. Probably the worst time of the year to try and get a deal.

Sorry but you have left it too late to get a deal you would have been better to book earlier. I booked in May arriving from London on the 30/12/09 then returning to 23/01/10 I go a direct flight for £530 the same flight is now £300+ more.

Fast Eddie 48
Cathay Pacific with some advance notice looks like the way to go. I am late in the game so it looks like I will have to pay. This was to be my first trip to LOS. BIG reason I am going is that a friend of mine was gonna to go also. I didn't want to go alone especially for 2 weeks. I asked him how much he thought tickets would be and he said 1200ish. Looks like i may be going alone afterall. I have seen plenty of positive reports of people going it alone. Some even recommend it.
If I do go alone it will be longer (3 weeks of leave saved up) and I will be more flexible with my dates of flying which could help the price. I can fork it out its just my friend isn't gonna want to pay as much since he has been before.
I have been so putting off my FIRST SE Asia trip. Friends married or no money. Time for me to sack the hell up and make it happen.
Thanks everyone for chiming in and I will post if errrrrr WHEN I do make it out there.
Flights from Thailand to Vietnam or to PI are there a ton of savings done way in advance. I was hoping to BKK and go where it takes me. ;)
I have a girl to visit me in Thailand next week.
Problem is that she is living in Malaysia and she is South African citizen.
I bought her plane ticket from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok, and now I have been informed that she will be asked to show at least 10.000Baht in the thai custom to be able to enter into Thailand.
I have invited her because she seems like the perfect ****/slave, but I am not interested to tranferring her any money up front.
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this without transferring her any money?
Is it a fact that she will be forced showing that she have the mentioned money?
Quick and positive answers are very much appriciated, since I need some change;)

Will be in Thailand from 29 Dec to around 13 Jan. Obviously BKK and Pattaya, but not sure where else. Anywhere particularly good for New Year's?
Haven't decided on Hotels in BKK or Pattaya yet
Happy to meet up for a beer and joint patrolling.

Is this your first trip to LOS?
As you are only there for a couple of weeks I would probably just stay in Bangkok for a few days then Pattaya.
Or Bangkok then Phuket then a week in Pattaya.
I suggest that you book your hotels asap as you are going in high season.
I will be in Pattaya from the 30th December Pm with your details if you or anyone fancies a beer.

That's a new one. Is the money to be shown after landing in BKK? And what has the Customs department have any thing to with entry?
Look up the requirement for a visa at the Thai Consulate website. And then post if you have a problem requiring help.

I saw a note at the thai immigration saying that every foreigner enterering Thailand must show that they have at least 20.000 baht in cash. If not entry may be refused.

By the way. At the immigration banlaem they request new a photocopy of passport with photo. Strict 200 cigarette one bottle alcool. Buy a box of LM red for 150 baht did not check at the shop. Once home only 14 cigarette per pack. Still a deal.
I'd be very happy to meet fellow members who are in Pattaya Nov 25 or 26; send me a PM.
Not sure where I'll be or when exactly but I'll be in Thailand Nov 23 to Nov 28, then back Dec 6 until ???
I'll be in BKK and / or in Pat's....
In Phuket (Patong beach) from 22nd off December till 3rd of January.
Thanks everyone who might respond to my question here. I am coming to SE Asia for 3 months. Riding a bicycle all over. I need to have a root canal on a bad tooth and was wondering if it would be better to get it done in Bangkok or Pattaya? Because it is going to take several days for it to be completed would it be better in Pattaya as I would be able to ride my bike around during the day and have a more laid back place to stay for the few days. What do any of you think. It is also cheaper to stay in Pattaya, but at the same time want to get good treatment. Any advise would be a great help.

Try the Thipurai City Hotel. Great location about 1 block from the Hilton and Guest Friendly. But probably more like 1500 Baht in peak season. Hua Hin hotels are quite a bit more costly than Pattaya for the same sort of quality. Another possibility around the same price is the Royal Asia Lodge. Slightly better rooms, but less great location across the main road.
1000 Baht during peak season in Hua Hin will be tough if not impossible, unless a place is a real dump or really poorly located.
Lwomack58,
In Pattaya, you can contact German Dental Co. LTD, 162/197 Moo 10. Thappraya Rd. Tel: +66 38 251289 +66 38 365020 Email: [email]info@german-dental.net[/email]
After visiting a bunch of places in Pattaya I finally gave this place a try recommended to me by another ISG member. The place I found was very clean and professional and they have their own Dental Lab on site. This is one of the only places in Pattaya that I know of that can do a root canal and have a crown made for you in 3 days. First appointment they did the root canal and put in a temporary crown, second day came back for the crown fitting and third day I came back for the final placement. Damage was just under 10,000 baht without insurance.
From the end of 3rd Rd. head up Thappraya Rd. towards Jomtien. Just before the first 7/11 store is Soi 9, that is the location of the German Dental.
Good luck, LBM
I will be in BKK on 30/11 for 3 days, happy to meet up for a drink and go watch some shows, looking for a wingman? PM me.

Fellow mongers. Will be there in the above said period. Anyone want to hook up. Well speak up.
another good dental clinic is the one off Jomtien beach Road, Soi 5, almost at the end on the left side. Clean, inexpensive - 2 fillings about 1000B, replace crown (in gold so would be more money now) 10,000B. Pretty good English

Hello gentlemen,
This time I am dragging myself away from the city of the Angels(BKK) for some new adventures. My friend Don who resides now in puket will join me and we will travel by train to Hui Hin.
Anyone who has been there and can recommend a Hotel which is reasonable and good and near to night-life? Any info will be greatly appreciated and I shall return the favor by submitting a full review of our experiences there.
Thanks in advance. Martin (Canada)

Hey guys,
I'm planning a trip from SFO to BKK (with possible side trip) around the Feb. 4/5 to Feb. 17/18 timeframe. Looks like Cathay Pacific has a RT from about 900 through HK and not a long layover. And I just now saw about the same price on China Airlines. I'm a little flexible for the days. But would ideally like to stick to these.
I see fares that are as low or lower but they all appear to involve a long layover and/or two stops (Narita and Taipei, for example).
Is anyone aware of a better choice for me and from your experience how long will this fare on Cathay Pacific be available. (in other words, any hurry here at all)?
I generally fly EVA but they don't appear to have a good fare for this timeframe. And appear to have a fewer number of flights than when I booked for my October trip. I have a Rewards program through them, but otherwise just through Northwest.
Any help will be appreciated, guys. And, of course. Thanks!

If it is a good fair with a short stop over then book sooner than later. The reduce price seats offers only last a certain amount of time.

I'm flying with Eva from SEA to BKK through Taiwan Feb 11 and paying $1260, so looks like your price is good. It is their upgrade class the entire way however.
Looking to go with a few friends to Patong Beach for 5 days in mid February.
Can anyone let me know if these Hotels are all GF?
Which do you recommend?
Thara Patong
Grand Orchid Inn
Safari
Yorkshire
Also in Bangkok which Hotels do you recommend?
This is our first time in Thailand and we want it to be great.
Well, I booked my flight on Cathay Pacific leaving at 12:05 am Feb 5th SFO to BKK and returning Feb 19th. $960 RT. Don't know that I will get much cheaper than that by waiting. I've got Eva Rewards miles but not as low of a price nor as good of a schedule. Also, using sites like Mobissomo maybe coulda got cheaper using their "multiple airline" suggestions. But figure that's a hassle.
If anyone will be in Thailand during that time let me know. I wi prob stay at Dynasty Grande but haven't booked yet. I also may take a 3-4 day trip to Pattaya and maybe fly to Udon Thani and up to Vientiane for a couple nights. I'm tentatiive on my trips from BKK but will use BKK as my base as I've a buddy there.
Thanks for the help!

Normally for the Asia-Pacific region, the Chinese New Year period is consider "super peak" for the airlines industry. As such fares will normally be at their premium and seats (at times) can be limited due to the mass exodus of people going for holidays or going home.
If you are thinking of traveling to Asia around that time, you need to book early for seats and also be prepare for possible flights delays due to some airlines increasing their number of flights.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

Who has been to Hua Hin?. Probably my spelling is off. Got a Hotel close to the centre. Apparently near the Railway station. My pal and I have never been there. Time to check out some new scenery.
I was told Hua Hin is the Acapulco of Thailand. The oldest beach resort area in the country. Beaches look alright, if you can trust those pictures that is.
How about the ladies of Hua Hin? Any sharing of info would be much appreciated.
Have a good Christmas everyone. Mark (canada)
Orbitz special 1200 yaay. I spent a dozen hours sifting through the 2k+ prices. Don't give up searching all the airlines gentlemen. It will be my first time there.

$1200? I saw a lot of fares cheaper than that. When are you arriving? I booked a Cathay Pacific flight a few days ago with great connections for $960 for arouind Chinese New Year which is a very busy time...from SFO to BKK...most of the good connections I see are now gone...

Hi all,
Just got my subscription as I'm looking to take mongering to the next level. Done Thailand three times now, and it's starting to be "same same". But I figure there are quite a few members in both Bangkok & Pattaya that could teach me something new about Thailand, or show me some of the secrets I've been missing out on.
Dates aren't confirmed yet, but I'll be in Thailand for a week sometime between Feb 12th and Mar 14th. If there are any members who are going to be in those areas around those times, drop me a PM and maybe we can meet up.
I'm in my late 20's, laid back and open minded, prefer my ladies young & very petite, and I usually enjoy a good mix of drinks, conversation, and mongering when I go on these sorts of trips.
Any help/advice is always appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I'm thinking of flying either Asia Air or Nok Air from BKK to Udon Thani on Saturday, Feb. 15th and then heading up directly to Vientiane and staying there two nights before flying back to BKK on that Monday, Feb. 17th.
Based on your experience, how long can I wait to book this flight and still be reasonably assured of getting the flight and times I want? My friend in BKK won't know if he can go for sure until mid January or so. Do I just book it now or will I be ok if I wait? I'm just not sure how to work this for the Thai domestic flights.
Thanks!

Usually, you wouldn't have much problem if you book your flight one week before departure (by the way, you may get better rates if you book online), but... you will travel one day after Chinese New Year (February 14th next year), therefore, I would advise you to book everything (flight and accommodation) as soon as possible (at least two weeks earlier) because many Thai people of Chinese descent (among other people) will travel and stay in hotels at this period of the year.

You must be looking at the guy behind me, FF, when you talk about the rich guy. LOL. Or is it the guy in your mirror? Ha.
Well, I'm finding out it's Chinese New Year about that time and still want to wait to book because my buddy in BKK won't know if he can go until after Jan. 1. So I don't want to risk them being full, but would prefer to wait and book after Jan. 1 if I think there's still going to be seats, but this "Chinese New Year's thing on Feb. 14th" has me nervous because I"d be looking at flying to Udon on Feb. 13th and returning on the 15th where I'd bus up to Vientiane for two nights. Hmm.
I guess I can just chance it and wait and if there's no flights I wasn't meant to go to Udon and Vientiane this time? Also, I fouind out the Lao Orchid hotel is full for that time. Anyone got any good suggestons for a Vientiane hotel near the action. The little that there might be?
Thanks!

Still in 2 minds about visiting Angeles city as well
What do you guys recommend, should I spend 2 weeks in BKK or 1 week BKK and 1 week in AC?
I've decided to take a break from my normal trips to Germany for sex and visit Thailand for 2 weeks. I was last there 10 years ago, but had a normal girlfriend with me, and I only managed to shag 2 Thai women on that trip. So I dont have much real sex experience in Thailand.
Truth is that I dont find Thai Women as attractive as Big Bottomed Blonde European women but Im still happy to fuck Thai women of course. I also plan to investigate the Russian woman scene there, as it doesnt seem to be too well reported on, apart from reports saying to stay away from Galaxy GoGo on Walking street. I know the Russian women are supposed to be a rip off but I want to check it out anyway.
Anyway I should arrive in Pattaya on the evening of Monday Jan 11th. I may stay until Jan 25th when I fly home or I may leave Pattaya on the 21st and go to Bangkok for a few days. Still havent made my mind up on that...
I would be happy to meet up with anyone from here. Please pm or leave reply here.

Cheers Mate,
I hope to post short reports everyday out there, and Ill certainly post as many woman photos as I can. Looking forward to taking pics of the ladies as its something you can rarely do in German sex clubs.
I am planning a weeks holiday towards the end of Jan or the beginning of feb and looking at Thailand. There are many posts on this site regarding various places, but I can not decide.
What I am planning is a direct flight from London, and can not decide where to go, I guess htere are sme places better than others, and some safer too.
Would it be best not to book accommodation and try a walk in at a recommended hotel?
I will be looking to mooch around during the day, may be a little mongering, but really looking for LT during the evening (good value of course)
Any suggestions would be greatly welcome.
Thanks
I'm heading to BKK Jan 12-18 and staying at S Sukhumvit Suites (right outside Soi Cowboy it looks like) and was wondering if anyone wants to lend their expertise by having a few drinks with me and a buddy of mine?
I'm trying to do the whole sightseeing thing too, so I would also like to know the best places to eat and what sites to see in Bangkok, Thailand. I've been researching here for a while now, but you never know unless you experienced the real thing.
welll welshboy, besides the usual RTFF, IF you (likely) cannot speak any Thai, stay in one of the "big" areas - Bangkok (lots of places there), Pattaya (world's largest open air ho'-house), Phuket if you like beaches, maybe Chiang Mai. At least learn a few Thai words - how to count (particularly), hello, how much, where is the toilet... etc :)
[QUOTE=JohnnyBraz]Try Patong/phuket if you get time, just returned from 2 weeks there over Christmas and new year, the place goes off. Heaps off action and heaps off tourist things to do. I'm heading back there in 4 weeks for a month.[/QUOTE]Phuket is cleaner, has no smog and great beaches. Due to tourism being down some 50% the girls are very eager to hustle you. Beside P4P I recommend that you peruse the Thaikisses.comThailandfriends.comand Thaifrau. De sites for "good girls" I e free shags. The latter 2 are free, the former cost EUR30.. To join but well worth it.
Don't fixate on Patong, there's lots of good action in Chalong and downtown Phuket Town as well.
If you rent a car I'll be happy to show you around. Will be there till March.
Have fun!
Hi;
There is so much information to absorb here so I'm hoping I can get pointed in the right direction for my trip.
I'm planning to go to Thailand early March 1 to about March 14 and was planning an entire trip over there for two weeks. There seems to be lot of places to go visit. Is there a primier for planning such a trip?
Here are some of my general questions.
1. Airfare seems to be about $1,200 so do I just fly in to Bangkok?
2. Do I just stay in Bangkok and if other places how many days would I need?
3. Where do I hotels which are provider friendly?
4. I plan to take a gal out all night just for the heck of it. Any places for recommendations?
5. Where can I pick up gals? I heard it not a good thing since I don't know if they have any diseases.
Any suggestions or anything to point me in the right direction would be appreciated..
Hi Guys,
I'm planning a trip to Pattaya in may, from what I've heard girls usually go back home during low season. Just wondering your thoughts on whether there won't be much quality in May. I'm not too fussed about weather.
Qaulity = Girls in their early 20s 7/10 looks etc.
Much appreciate it fellas.
Hi Gang,
First of all, thanks to everyone for all the info on Phuket and BKK. I'll be in Phuket April 15th for 8 days and then finnish off in BKK for 3 or 4 days. More than happy to hook up and toss back some cold ones at the Bar in PK or BKK. This is my first time to Asia. Been to Mexico, Vancouver, Spain and Amsterdam and of course the U.S. All is book except BKK. Is there any GF friendly Mid to High hotels near Nana Plaza. Let me know, Thanks!
Happy Mongering
[QUOTE=Johnny Craps]Hi Gang,... Is there any GF friendly Mid to High hotels near Nana Plaza. Let me know, Thanks!...[/QUOTE]
Yes, there is.
The BKK Hotels thread is packed with useful information about exactly what you are looking for.
Last year 2009 there were 355 murders and homicides on Phuket alone, not counting any flaky "suicides". I've been here for 2 months only and my life has bee threatened twice already (by 1 farang and 1Thai). Last time I had a big scary diving knife and a crossbow for protection. Unfortunately I lost those in a shipwreck and now need to replace them The weapons were legally bought from a hunting / fishing / diving supply store on the Patong Beach Road (Phuket) that does not exist any more. Anybody know where they might have moved to or another source? Or anybody know any mail order source in Thailand that ships this kind of stuff, please PM me.
Arriving BKK on 27th Jan, nd wil stay for 5 days Patt. Need advise from experienced folks.

It doesn't seem if I can book cheap Asia Air flights online from here in the States. Does anybody have any secrets or do I need to wait until I get to BKK to buy these? Any problems or issues there?

Unlike Duni, I cannot buy Air Asia tickets online from the USA. Actually, it doesn't matter where I am, I can't buy online. The reason is my credit cards. All my credit cards are issued in the USA, and get declined. Even my ATM.
So if you have tried online, and get declined, that could be the reason. On the other hand, it seems Duni can do it. Duni, you use USA issued CCs ?
I have to call the international phone number to buy direct. I suggest calling Singapore, it is faster than calling the people in Malaysia.

I booked online last time in August 2009.
A recent phenomenon. Due to massive fraud, many small Asian airlines have blocked international CCs. Have the same problem with Indian airlines. Perhaps Air Asia has done the same. My apologies for doubting you guys.
However, Amex cards are usually accepted for booking.
Thinking of spending some of this year's bonus on total pampering and celeb-spotting.
Are there better options in terms of price-performance?
How easy is it to escape and are there fleshpots to escape to?
Is a Happy Ending available on request?
Got a nice holiday gift!
For those that travel and carry a little bag of plug adapters. I got a elegant universal adapter the size of a AA egg, has four sets of retractable prongs that fit the majority of the worlds electrical sockets and it comes with a modue that lets you charge USB devices such as IPods.

U r saying u hv made a fun only but it’s made me a long tour. Thnx for that.
Being an alone traveler I took the comments seriously; my ticket was bought for 28.1.2010 and I’ve booked my room at Thai Miami for couple of days. My plan was BKK+Udon Thani+ BKK+Patt.
While landing on BKK certainly I wondered if I will be able to skip BKK 2nd time I'm getting more time for other destinations. From the airport I phoned one of my buddy was larking on BKK "can I travel to Patt from Mochit by bus"? He said "No u have to arrive on Ekamai for Patt". Instantly I changed my plan skipping the BKK city and made my plan as Udon+BKK+Patt + Suvarnabhumi.
My phobia about the traffics hassles derived me to skip out of the city. Since it was not my first time in BKK but I'm not well known about the city routes. On my first tour I got serious sickness on arriving day and it made my senior to arrive in the city to get me out. After buying my bus ticket for Udon I found there are many buses for patt from Mochit also. I shouted to my buddy “u stupid going to pay for the wrong info” (he answered oh Yah ! he he he). I’m going to loss one day payment for my hotel booking. What a nice plan it was BKK+Udon+Patt+ Suvarnabhumi.
Thnx to Opebo (An experienced one for Issan Zone) providing absolute info for me personally and I’m going to SUbmit my report on respective forum.

Just booked a round trip from Las Vegas to BKK, $1725.00 total for me and my wife. The plan is to spend a few nights at the Majestic Grande in BKK, about 3 nights in Chiang Mai at the Raming Lodge, then about a week in Pattaya, probably at Bay Walk Residence. I've gotten so much useful information from the regulars on this forum and we are really psyched for the trip (April 8-24).
My lovely wife is a ravenous bisexual who loves seeing me with other women and joining in. This is going to be one hell of a vacation!

How many times can i leave Thailand within the year that the vise is valid?
Anyone know of a private charter from BKK to Pattaya. Ive been trying to find one that includes a few girls, but I am coming up dry. I know its Thailand, so there has to be something of this nature. Any info is appreciated.
Arriving in Pattaya April 3, 2010. Potentially going to Phnom Penh about 1 week later and maybe even down to Batam. Let me know where and when you want to meet to discuss opportunities.

I would never use this kind of service, because the trip from Bangkok to Pattaya is a short one (during less than 2 hours usually) and moreover, because the prices for this kind of service are (IMHO) ridiculously high, but if it's really what you want to do, you can find it for instance there:

But remember that you can also use a reliable taxi service such as this one, for instance: [url]http://www.pttaxiservice.com/[/url]
No girls with them, but you can have plenty once in Pattaya with the money that you will save on the trip!

Yeah, I'm also heading to Bangkok on March 26 to April 10. I'm wondering also if the protesting will cause a problem and put a damper on my fun in Bangkok also! Is there anything I should know or take precautions with before I head out during this time?
I am in Pattaya now, I should be here for at least 6 months.
Let me know if someone wants to get together for a drink.
I need some help here. I'll be in Thailand for 2 weeks and staying in Bangkok for 5-6 days. I was going to fly to Chiang Mai and then take a try to take a train from Chiang Mai to Pattaya. Does such a thing exist? Or do I take the train back to Bangkok and then use the normal transportation from Bangkok to Pattaya?
Any suggestions?
I assume this is ok to post this question here. I should have enough points for a free flight next winter, but I'd like to go sooner. I've been searching on line for a decent price on a flight for the summer but haven't found anything good. I'm in Ontario, Canada but if I can find something really good from anywhere in the North Eastern US I could probably make it work.
I've heard some travel agents can get better deals but I haven't looked into that too much yet. I had a couple of emails with one who told me there aren't any good prices in the summer.
If I can't find a good deal I'll probably go somewhere else this summer but I would like to go back to LOS. Any suggestions?

I will be at Pattaya (only for 3 days) from 1st April- possibly at Penthouse will try to give an unbiased report about penthouse which looks like to be in little bit of controversy.

I'm scheduled to spend 10 days in Bangkok starting May 1st. I hope the members currently there can keep the board updated on the protests and violence in the coming weeks. Also, if I need to change my plans, recommendations would be welcome, either going to a different city, or worse case scenario, a neighboring country.

I've decided to cancel my travel plans for next week to Bangkok. I'll have to go later this year, I guess.
FYI to other guys thinking about changing their plans, Thai Airways is giving full refunds because of the problems in Bangkok right now. There is no cancelation fee to pay. I just called this morning to cancel my ticket and they let me know this. Not sure about the other airlines, though.
[QUOTE=Ezinho]I've decided to cancel my travel plans for next week to Bangkok. I'll have to go later this year, I guess. [/QUOTE]I was also kind of planning to do Bangkok up from May 1st until the 12th. Currently undecided and going back and forth whether I should do Colombia or Costa Rica again. Bangkok I will do up in mid-Oct. Things should stabilize by then hopefully.
I think aslong as you stay out of the financial area and city centre area, you should be fine. I've talked to a few thai chicks that live near Sukhumvit area and they said it's safe aslong as you avoid the redshirt areas. I have no plans to cancel and I am going at the end of May. I read bangkokpost.com everyday too to see the news or updates.

Hi all,
I hope that everyone is well. My usual destination was Belgium or Germany until now. I stopped in BKK on my way to Australia for a couple of days in March and the result is I am travelling again but planning to stay in Pattaya. I have been reading talk on the best place to stay, I have not made up my mind yet but would like to stay near LKM, probably Pasadena lodge.
With all the trouble in BKK I am planning to travel directly to Pattaya, I would appreciate if someone comments on safest way to travel. I am travelling alone and also looking forward to meet fellows.

[QUOTE=Mido31]Hi all,
I hope that everyone is well. My usual destination was Belgium or Germany until now. I stopped in BKK on my way to Australia for a couple of days in March and the result is I am travelling again but planning to stay in Pattaya. I have been reading talk on the best place to stay, I have not made up my mind yet but would like to stay near LKM, probably Pasadena lodge.
With all the trouble in BKK I am planning to travel directly to Pattaya, I would appreciate if someone comments on safest way to travel. I am travelling alone and also looking forward to meet fellows.
Cheers,
Mido[/QUOTE]Would love to meet up for a beer all two but i get there about 4th July.

Also, 124 baht, this nice and new bus will bring you to Jomtien. Then for 10 baht you can take a baht bus (blue truck) to Walking Street or beyond. I like this bus a lot.

[QUOTE=Col Law]Can any tell me the going rate for a apartment a/c wi/fi per month between soi bouycow and third road. staying 3-5 months, does not have to be big.[/QUOTE]That is a pretty general question without knowing exactly what you want to spend?
These apartments can range from 3500 baht to maybe 15,000 baht. The cheaper in general you will see them located in a more condense area building right up against each other with clothes hanging outside the windows or balconies. These apartment generally do not have tubs with shower and toilet all in one as I call it. You be lucky if one of these places have WiFi but generally have Internet shops just outside of Apartments.
Here is a few samples:
Simmporm Apartment, located on or just off 3rd road on the corner across from X-Zyte night club. 373/2 M.9 Pattaya 3rd Rd. Mobile: 083-7111202 or 081-4517999, monthly rate is 5,000-6,000 baht excluding electric and water.
There is another apartment down from this place towards Soi Buakhao, with a coffee shop outside monthly is 3,500 per month, but is generally full for months. Sorry never got a card because they never seem to have one!
SaengChan Mansion: 64/2 Moo 9, Chalermphrakiat 19, lost track but I think 7,000 baht per month. 038-720988-9
Smile Mansion: 66/39 Moo 9 Soi Buakaow, [email]smile_mansion@hotmail.com[/email] lost track but I think 7/8,000 per month.
My stereotype is the more clothes hanging out the cheaper it gets!

Vulcanizer's first time in LOS, "feeling Lost" I can guarantee you won't be lost for long, someone will soon find you and be your personal guide. I remember my first time in LOS, not quite sure what to expect, even though you have been told a 1000 times what it is like. And like so many I returned for a second visit about a month later, best candy shop I have ever been in.
The force will be with you.
My second trip to BKK. First was in April 2010. I'm staying at Citadines Bangkok Sukhumvit 8.

My first time in Pattaya, travelling alone, anyone who would like to meet for a drink and gogo crawl?
What is the best time to go Thailand for mongering and touristic. I am planning Bangkok, Pattaya and phuket, do you think 12 days is enough?
Whichone is better, September, October or novamber?
Is this budget calculation true for 12 days or it can be less?
Hotel =50$ *12=600
Girls for nigth= 100$*12=1200
Food drink transpostation=40*12=480
Total 2200$
Thanks in advance to our expert mongers.

Folks,
Heading to Pattaya for 2-3 months on visit number 26. Would love to meet up with any ISGers old or new for a trip round the bars.
I like a good bar crawl' lots of drinks, gorgeous girls and a good laugh. Might even buy a round of drinks, I'm Scottish so don't rely on it. :-)
JohnThescot
Is it possible to announce date, time and venue where ISG members can meet?
I'm from Scotland, first time visiting, I just want to experience the nightlife in Bangkok, then goto Pattaya/Phuket and do the same. Send me a private message if interested.
Not staying in bangkok always obviously, going to travel around abit. I'm up for sampling the nightlife everywhere, drinking and finding cite girls.
Guys
I'll be making my second trip to Thailand 22-31 July. I loved CM on my first trip so will spend most time there, then a few days in Bangkok.
I enjoy drinking and intelligent conversation and would like to meet any ISG members around the place. I'm aged late 40s but keep fit and get on with interesting people of all ages.
On my first trip I found I wasn't so much into go go bars or the slicker end of the industry. I prefer the beer bars and freelancers and I also like Thailand so my trip is not your classic 100% monger expedition, however mongering in whatever form is at the heart of it.
Cheers,
Encore
I'll be coming to Pattaya next week for my fourth time.
Want to meet up to have a few drinks, some good laughs and go to bars?
Send me a PM.
I'm european and 40 years old, and I get along will all nice people.
Bangkok (Giotto's lodge) from 2nd to 5th/6th
Then Koh Samui and/or Phuket
Am coming from LA to Pat. Thinking of early to mid September. Any ISG's want to meet up with this young asian, yet veteran of the pat scene. Am up for gogo's, freelancers at the clubs, etc. Am a VIP at many places.
Due to my job relocating back to the United States recently, I am forced to sell a brand new, never lived in 1 Bedroom Condo (Fully furnished even with TV and cable channels paid up for the year as well as all maintenance fees paid) that is only 700 meters from the Jomtien beach. The Condo is on the 2nd floor overlooking the tropical resort style pool and is in Phase 1 of Park Lane Jomtien. This is a highly sought after unit due to pool view and access to elevator/stairs and bridge leading to gym and cafe. This condo is in a Foreign Freehold, which means it can be owned out right by anyone without the hassle of using a Thai Corporation or any other method. A simple transfer and it's yours free and clear. For more information please feel free to email me. I am the owner, not a real estate agent. Ready for fast sell and will meet the buyer in Thailand for final transaction.
1 bedroom/1 bath 36 sq. Meters (to American/Euro standards) fully furnished. A great deal for the buyer looking to buy quick. Great for someone working in the Middle East/Asia as a getaway on R&R or as rental property. (would stay booked from contractors. LOL) I just do not have time to travel to Thailand like I use to and wish to use the cash for another investment.
Asking $42000 US or best offer. Contact me here if interested and we can discuss offline or via email. Priced for fast sale.
30 years old and I'm makin my first trip solo to Thailand October 15-26th.. I'll be in Bangkok from the 15th-20th and Pattaya from the 20-26th. If anyone will be around to show me the ropes a little bit I'd appreciate it!
Any ISG memeber, do ping me. I am an Asian, visiting for a relaxation and energy building.

My mission, which I choose to accept, is to spend a week in the heart of walking street precinct. Then another week in and around the beerbar sois.
While there on a single mans mission, will also be packing in the tourists sites during the day, so I'll be run off my feet I think, well for a couple of days atleast when theres no more touristy things left to do. Then I'll just be flat on my back.
So if I bump into anyone, say hello, I'll be wearing a white rose on my shirt so everyone recognizes me (as if).
No, seriously, I'm easy to spot, I'd be the only one there that looks like a tourist!

I will be making my 2nd visit to LOS Jan 20th-31st. Last time I stuck to Pattaya, but I plan to spend 2-3 days in Bangkok on the front end of this trip before heading to Pattaya.
I'm from the States but am currently working as an expat in China. If anyone is interested in grabbing a drink, PM me.
Just got in, already nailed two 19 year old cuties, one I discovered at random on the BTS. Nana has gone to the dogs compared to Soi Cowboy. Anyway, would love to catch up with some mongers interested in young, sweet pussy and mind altering blow jobs, a few cold beers. Good for the soul and puts a spring in your step.
PM me.
I am gona be in Phuket from the 14. 1. Until the 15. 2.
Would be nice to meet some fellows for a beer or two.

I will be in Pattaya and Bangkok from the 20th of Feb to the 7th of March. It is my first trip to Thailand or SE Asia for that matter. Pity I did not see your post sooner Wanking, your posts in the Germany forum have been most invaluable down through the years and I would have bought you a beer had our timings coincided!

Hi Guys!

If anyone wants to meet for a beer or four give us a shout.
I was originally flying into phnom penh last month, but changed it to Bangkok for 18th of this month. There's strength in numbers, so if someone out there would like a wingman, hit me up. I'm a paid member so I can receive PM's.
I look 25 and I'm going to visit the well known spots, but I also like to venture into the unknown. Let me know if anyone is interested in beers and mongering. Laters.

On a more serious note, our hobby is somewhat solitary. None of my friends have a clue what I do. My trips are made alone, and whilst I am sufficiently sociable to chat to anyone in a bar, sometimes it's cool to meet up with people you talk with on-line. No big deal either way, but it's useful to have the opportunity.

I would love to meet up with some people who are there now and have experience when I arrive. Do you have any suggestions for a cheaper apartment in a good location (or better yet have one you're looking to sub-lease for a month). Do you know of massage parlors, etc. That have,"Birthday Specials", etc, (I'm purposely traveling here in time to spend my birthday)?
Any help / advice / just meeting up to get me adjusted / feeling at home would be greatly appreciated.)

Hi fellow hobbyists,
Flying to BKK on 12/25 from Kuala Lumpur, staying one day in the city and off to Pattaya. I haven't found a hotel in Pattaya yet, the ones I know seemed to be booked: Koenig Mansion, Ospey De Place, Pataya Bay Resort, Areca Lodge, LK Metroploe (I hate that place). I guess I drop off my bags, rent a motobike and see for myself when I'm there. Maybe some of the mongers want to meet for a Chang some day.
Cheers, Frank.
I'm arriving 26th at Suvarnabhumi airport and would like to know if anyone else is headed to Pattaya in the evening by taxi. PM me if anyone would like to share. My ETA would make a 5pm departure possible.

Hello, All, I will be back in BKK for the third time in a year from 28. 30 December and 13. 15 January. I have a pretty good working knowledge of BKK if any brand-newbies want to meet up for advice. Though a non-P4P girl will be staying with me for some of this time, so may not be mongering as much as usual.
I am also heading to Pattaya for the first time 16. 19 January; if anyone wants to meet up to share knowledge, I would be grateful and the first drink is on me.
That's right, first trip to Bangkok and Pattaya. Arriving 6 February in BKK, departing 8th for 24hrs on Soi6 in Pattaya. Then I'm back in BKK for the Marathon on the 12th, departing on the 14th. I'm allowed one beer a night until after the marathon.) Mostly going for the soapies, massages and Nana parking lot. Love the hunt! See you all soon, let me know if anyone wants to grab A beer. Take care and I'll post my reports asap. Happy Holidays and Safe Mongering.

We are staying the nights of 20th and 21st at Livingstones and the next 2 nights at Hotel Jasmine, Pattaya. Will play by the ear for the remaining nights.

Since this is my first trip I want to check out all the opportunities for erotic fun: BJ bars, gogos, soapies, oilies, freelancers, etc.
If you want to meet up for a drink and a mate to check out the local scene drop me a pm. If you're a local and want to show a newbie around I'd repay the favor with drinks or p4p sponsorship.
See you on the flip side!
Want to meet up for a drink with me in Pattaya? I'm an easygoing Scandinavian, circa 40 years old. This will be my sixth time in Pattaya.

In Bangkok for a VERY short spell on the 18th of September, arriving about 9pm or so, then again October 3rd (arriving much earlier). Most likely going to Nana rather than SC. I'm an Aussie, early 30s. Not a total newbie, but far from a seasoned pro. Anyone in town who is likewise solo and interested in a quiet beer or two and then looking for some fun, let me know.
Just booked 10 days in happy land. Will arrive on Oct. 15th. If anyyone wants to have a drink or look around just pm me.
Just booked 10 days in Happy land. Oct 15. 25. Anyone up for a drink or food let me know. This will be my 3rd trip since Sept. 2011. Still learning the ropes.
I'll be in Bangkok later this week for the first time. I might slide over to Pattaya while I'm in the area.
Visiting on business for first time and would welcome company of other mongers in the area.
Send pm and we can coordinate having food / beer.
Will be in Bangkok between 28 October and 4 November. Anyone interested in meeting for a drink maybe at the beergarden between my sinful activities is welcome. I can't remeber which number this trip is since I have stopped counting!
I will be in Bangkok on Oct. 12 and 13 and Pattaya Oct. 14-21 (and possibly longer). If you are around and want to grab a beer, send me a PM.

Going to be in Bangkok from the 3 till at least the 7th, maybe longer. I am in country 3-18 for my first time in Thailand. Looking to log some good time with the girls, good scuba diving out of phuket, and some good cultural and tourist experiences. Plan on hitting a number of massage places and have got Suk Psychos guide which is great. Anyone looking to meet up hit me up.
Trying to choose hotels now debating between Dawin, Town Lodge, and Livingstone's. All input is welcome.

2. I used to be a great fan of LL but overtime I have found better places. If you enjoy living with mongers, an expensive Sports Bar and a now seedy Soi 33 look for somewhere else.
Just booked 12 days in Pattaya Will arrive on Nov 19th. I am in my mid 30s. If anyone wants to grab a beer or hangout PM me.

I actually prefer Dynasty Grand or Phachara Suites around the corner on Soi 6. Larger rooms and both have pools you can actually swim in for around the same price.
I may be a bit jaded as a diver but there are (IMHO) no good day trips out of Phuket. You would really need to do a live aboard trip out to the Similans. Better diving in the Phil or PNG if you're willing to go off the beaten track.

The only thing different is that at Livingstone's you get personalized attention from the owner. And if this your first time in Thailand you can have no better resource than what you get at LL. You don't have to go to their Sports Bar or eat there or even take a girl from their bar. Rooms are good as is at all others.
And BTW only the bottom of the dregs are at Nana.
Hey all.
First time headed to Bangkok and looking to make great memories. Booked for October 25th and hopefully going to have a blast for 6 days before headed back to work.
Me. 28 year old. Looking to experience things that the typical girl next door wouldn't do. Sorry, I guess I still have a lot of growing up to do.
I've always dreamed of taking up a girl A-Level. Maybe I can fulfill it during my visit?
Very inexperienced in regards to work things around. I'll be staying at the Hyatt. Reading upon posts in the threads so that I can get my bearings but the streets are confusing me like crazy.
If any senior member could give me some personal advice I would greatly appreciate it. Anyways looking forward to posting some pics up soon if I can manage to pull that off at a reasonable rate (of course as all members. Need to make sure to keep everything within everyone's standard, cause once someone goes overboard, all the ladies will push the bar up in regards to $$$).
Please help _
Thanks all!
Visiting Bangkok for a couple of nights. Any pointers for genuine contacts would be appretiated! Am 30 & straight so looking forward for sessions with young women only! Have hear and read about Bangkok being paradise for fantasies and wanting to exp a threesome is what remains my fanstasy.

Thanks

To the Newbies or Regular members posting here:
First, good to see you will make it to Thailand soon.
Keep in mind that as a Regular Member (means not paid the subscription and not posted enough yet) , you may not have the Ability to be contacted or contact others via PM.
Posting here and waiting for a PM from someone to be your wingman will be difficult.
Just wanted to clear that up and hope it will help certain folks.
Happy Mongering

Happy Mongering[/QUOTE]Not to mention, most experienced members don't want to be a wingman for a newbie, either, unless a close personal friend or the newbie is paying for everything. Experienced mongers of course don't need wingmen I trust, and few ISGers make ideal wingmen anyway. Some are too negative and some are too stingy. I know favourite bar staff / girls who are happy to be my wing-ladies LOL, even to advise me about the style of another girl of interest. So in my regular bars it is easy to find out which are the good girls. Staff remember me well after a 100 Baht tip previously.
The problem with newbies is (one buddy of mine), if they are really nice guys, they don't seem to know how to avoid a determined girl, that does not really interest them. I am used to "rudely" (by Thai standard) ignoring girls when I don't like them or they don't interest me. I just call over the girls that appeal to me, regardless of what girl decided to sit next to me.
Sorry, I am breaking the rules. I had better announce that I will be back in Thailand some time next week, but normally do not take PMs. So I am not exactly looking for a "wingman". LOL. By the way, is "wingman" an american word? It is not used in my country. We have various other words, some local, and buddy is one of the reasonably universal ones.

"chopping my buck". Have not heard that one either (nor has google) , Spelling error? How about this oldy: "queering my pitch"? (perhaps that has the wrong meaning).
From urban dic: "The Wingman will always be there to 'occupy' the least attractive girl of the pair so that you may engage in the 'hotty'." Who wants to be the chump wingman?
As to travel, left Thailand just a week ago. Back in in little more than a week. Who cares, really?

I went for my first time to Pattaya in September 2012. I reported some action but I had to cut the trip short because of business. I read the forum to shreds but when I got there I was kind of bored and.
One thing that I really was not prepared for was the rats. Nobody mentions them but walking BR I was totally nauseated by the number of rats running up and down BR. Never seen it mentioned anywhere!
Never the less I learned a lot from this forum. Rats or not Pattaya is a pussy paradise.
What I am basically saying is that I am looking for some fellow mongers to introduce me to the scene and show me what to do when I am not engaging in the horizontal mambo or show me how to enjoy Pattaya more. I really want to!

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have had to change flight plans, I will now be staying in Bangkok until Sunday August 25th. I will not be heading to Pattaya at all on this trip. Still happy to meet up for a drink in Bangkok, feel free to PM.
Thanks
Keen to meet up with some ISGers during this time, I will scuba diving during daytime and monger at night. First beer on me if anyone keen to meet. Drop me a pm.
I am visiting Pattaya again late September, this time it is different from the many times before I am actually bringing a Phillipino with me. I met her in Singapore at the beginning of the year and we have kept in touch, I know there are many who would say why take ice to the Eskimos but I am trying something new. She knows how to look after me in the shagging department and we have a good laugh, I think she maybe up for a 3some and that can be arranged easily in Pattaya. She has cost me a small fortune this year trips to Singapore and Bali all have been immensely enjoyable but I still have my feet on the ground, anyone would like to meet up for a beer PM me.
May the force be with you.
Hello everyone.
It will be my first time in BKK. I read the BKK thread and the reviews.
I usually monger at mexico, Costa rica and Dominican Republic. Never experienced asian girls. It will be fun and different experience.
I will be in BKK on Aug 28 for about a week. I would definitely appreciate any company. It sometimes get boring to monger by myself.
If anybody is down, please let me know.
Your first beer is on me. It will be my pleasure.
Thanks
I'll be mongering in Pattaya during the last week of Sept. This is my 4th visit to Thailand and 3rd to Pattaya. During my previous visits I used to stay 3 days in Pattaya and 5 days in Bangkok. This time planned all 8 days to be in Pattaya.
Other than mongering, I am also interested in playing badminton and I found that Fairtex Pattaya hotel and sports club can be worth a visit for a game or two. Anyone here share this common interest other than being a monger?
PM me if you are interested, we could meet for a beer. I am 31 year old from India.
Regards,
A
If any members are around that time it would be great to explore the scene.
Let me know, will be staying in Sukhumvit Area.
I have been in BKK for 5 days having a ball. Anyone wanting to hangout just message me. I am staying at The Dawin.

Doing my research now.
First timer to Thailand
Guessing 2nd week of January.
Is that a good time to go?
What's the cheapest state to fly out of here in the states
[QUOTE=Infamous Man;1473753]Guessing 2nd week of January. Is that a good time to go?[/QUOTE]Mid-January is peak season. Best weather; highest prices; throngs of tourists.
[QUOTE=Infamous Man;1473753]What's the cheapest state to fly out of here in the states?[/QUOTE]Tough question to answer. If you live in San Francisco, SFO; if you live in Los Angeles, LAX. Where do you live? Check Kayak for best prices.
Anybody to join for a beer?
My biannual trip this Nov 3 to Nov 9. Anyone for a drink and to compare notes on the babes!
Will be saying hello to my friends again.
Spaceman from Hong Kong
November 21- 27 Bangkok, Nov 28-Dec 4 Pattaya.

What's the prices for the girls
ST & LT during peak.
Will be my first trip to Thailand
I'm an OTR truck driver
So I can fly out any airport in any
State.
So I'm guessing which ever is cheaper & faster I will take
I am also on a first time solo visit in mid November.
20th November to 24th November Bangkok.
24th November to 8th of December Pattaya.
Would be happy to meet up with anyone with common interests. (Good times and lovely ladies)

It's a newer much nicer airport. The international terminal at SFO is actually a pretty nice place to hang out while you're waiting for a flight. You'll need to make a connection in either South Korea, Japan, Taiwan or Hong Kong. Kayake is good because it searches multiple websites for the best fares.
At the Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy gogo bars figure 1500 for ST. 4000 for LT. You also have to add in the bar fine which should be about 600, plus a couple of lady drinks for the girl at 120 each. These are the prices I paid in December 2012. I don't think prices have changed much in the past year.
You may wish to visit some of the nightclubs like Climax, Nana Disco and Insanity after the bars close. You will save the bar fine and the girls will be about 500 cheaper for ST and 1000 cheaper for LT.
Another good option is the oily massage parlors (MPs) on Sukhumvit Soi 24, 24/1 and 26. Cherry, Mango and Snow White are good places to start. Check their websites for prices. You can spend an hour or two with the ladies in the shop or get them to come to your hotel on outcall.
Some guys prefer the MPs; some guys prefer the gogos. The gogos have lights, music and lots of naked or nearly naked girls shuffling on stage. Don't expect them to really dance the way the strippers dance in the good clubs in the USA. You get the fun of hunting for one that suits your fancy. Unless you know the lady, you may discover she is a good f*ck or a lousy f*ck. At the MPs you walk in, pick your girl and go f*ck. The performance tends to range from pretty good to damn good. By reading the MP threads you can get the names of a dozen or so MP girls who get consistently good reviews.
You're going to love Bangkok. There are so many girls for the taking; the cost is so reasonable; you will go wild.
I will be at Soi Cowboy and Nana around the same time. PM me if you want to have a beer.

Hi folks, been a LONG time since been on here. 3 years since had a mongering holiday, longest break since I started about 15 years ago. I try to avoid the site until about a 3 weeks / month before I head back as jealousy is a terrible thing. .
Got a lot of catching up to do, RTFF etc. Just hoping that we have moved on from the "which atm doesn't charge for withdrawals","what's the going rate for LT / ST"," I never pay more than 100 baht for a LT stunner" etc etc. But some how I doubt it. Got a LOT of catching up to do on the site. I'm sure I'll come across a lot of old favourites and a lot of new names to give me hints and tips. No matter how many times you go there (18 trips now) you never know it all and we all can still fall for the occasional scam or do something stupid. Guess that is part of the excitement. Looking foreword to posting some of my inane drivel and travel reports (including my guaranteed fuck ups).
3 weeks in my favourite View Talay 6. Wouldn't go anywhere else now.
Glad to be back here.
In Pattaya from 1 Dec to 28 Dec. Happy to hook up with any new or seasoned mongers for a beer and a trawl around the bars. Happy to take newbies under my wing. PM me if you plan to be in Pattaya.
JohnThe Scot.
In BKK from18 Dec to 08 Jan, lost count of which visit it is this time- been coming here over twenty years, most of them as aircrew, retired now, so this should be a lot more fun. Anyone want a beer, a street vendor lunch, or a night on the wing, PM me.
Any company welcome. Can share a lot of experience from Eastern Europe (Russia and Ukraine).
I will be in Patong for a short break from 17. - 19. Jan.
Anybody up for a beer? PM me.

Just recently found out about this forum having been trying to do some research for my upcoming trip to Bangkok, Thailand. It'll be my first time so if any bros in the area want to catch up and have a beer, let me know. I'll be there from Jan 2. 5.
Looking forward to contributing and thanks.
In Pattaya starting Dec 23 until the 29th. I am in contact with John the Scot and looking to find more wings for Christmas week in Pattaya. PM me if interested in grabbing a beer, etc.
