Hi everyone, I am off to Phuket in October. Anyone else planning to be there late october/early november?
Also, a big hello to nokna, currently enjoying the delights of Phuket for the next few weeks. How are you doing?
I'll be in Phuket the first week of July (my first trip there)- what I've learned so far is Christen's is a great place to go and ask the hotel about bringing girls to your room.
Anyone stayed at the Phuket Cabana?
Also, what is the going rate for long time (over night?) and where is a good place to find the l/t girls?
Thanks.
Hey Jonnie2010,
Am also planning a trip to LOS in Oct/ Nov incorporating a few days in Phuket & Koh Samui. My plan is to hit BKK first for a few days and then take an overnite sleeper down to Samui / Phuket ( saves you the cost of booking a hotel for the nite ).
Let me know if you're interested in hooking up or looking for a travelling partner. Obviously, I want to do plenty of mongering but also combine it with more traditional tourist pursuits !!
cheers,
C
Come on you guys wheres all the news about the happenings in phuket? Am planning a trip in August Staying at the bayshore.
Has the Shark disco reopened ?picked up a couple of stunners there last year. Lets get this board rocking with news of the best places and where to find the girls etc.
Hey man the girls are everywhere in Phuket. On the beach during the days (afternoons, as they sleep all morning) & in the bars at night. A hag approached me on the beach while I was watching the sunset. She offered me a BJ, but man she was way too ugly to accept.
The whole place is full of bars in addition to Sharks Disco where you can score easily, and you haggle your own price. In December I discovered a real beauty in a bar in Karon Beach. She claimed she didn’t do the sex thing but was just working at the bar as a front girl to bring in the customers. I couldn’t resist her, took her out for a meal, and negotiated the price for a fuck. In the end I had to fork out Bt2,000, the most I have ever paid for a fuck, but it was so good I took her again 2 days later and got a discount Bt 1500 this time! Every ***** has her price!
Buck,
When will you be in Phucket? I am planning my first trip to LOS and planned on 3 days in Phuket. I will be there August 22. I havent seen much current information and want to get an idea of where to go and what is open. I have read most of the reports but it seems that things change on a daily basis. I read today on the Phuket Gazette about 3 bars being closed for having girls under 20.
Phoenix
Phoenix I'm going a few days earlier than you. phuket is a little more lay back than bkk.
There are some good bars to visit . Soi Sea Dragon has some good ones and Freelancers are good value in either of the Discos Shark or Banana.Although I'm still not sure that the Shark has reopened yet.? Let us know someone if it has! Hope it has.I'll be there on the 12th and 4days will be enough to sample the talent. There are some smaller bars with girls some nice and they are worth trying as well.. near the Bayshore for example.Lets have some updates re hot spots for phuket from recent travellers.. Come on you guys lets stick together.
Hey Buck,
Where will you staying? I'm going to be in Phuket from August 9th-18th. Patong, obviously.
Still scoping hotels, since the low-season prices are great, but having trouble getting replies from some of them about their girl policy.
I'm looking at the Orchid Residence since it was recommended on this forum and they answered my e-mail, stating that they were girl-friendly, and 780baht a night for a delux room is a good deal in my mind.
But a little worried about how safe it is.. leaving shit in the room and such because there are no inroom safes.
Anyhow, we should meet up for a drink or something.
Cheers.
Lighter. From my last trip if they don't reply they are definitely not girl friendly.The Patong Bayshore is also a good hotel definitely friendly but about 7 minutes walk from Bangla and the action .Might be that it has more security than the Orchid. There are some good smaller bars near the Bayshore that have the odd cutie. I got friendly with the mamasan( Monee is her name ) of the Monee bar and she's good fun as well as introducing the right girls.Good place to be to relax.
I'll be there on the 13th for 4 days . Drink sounds good.
Hi everybody,
I know the WSGuide for several years and it has been helpfull on its time for different places.
I am used to travel to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau and I am quiet familiar now with these scenes. One day I will take the time to put a report about them.
Here is my situation :
I plan to come for the first time to Thailand from 4 of aug untill 10 or 11. I will come from Hong Kong meaby with one of my good chinese friend. He would like to stay in Phuket for the week.
Regarding the weather in August I am just wondering if we can really take benefit to stay in Phuket. And I guess Bangkok offers also more hot places and girls than Phuket.
So what would you suggest to me ?
1)stay all the week in Phuket (because we will still have good time there about sun & girls point ot view)
2)stay all the week in Bangkok because definitely it is the place to be
3)share half and half
I am reading all the forums about Thailand to pick up some informations but if you have any good pieces of advice for hotels, massage clubs, go-go bars, karaoke clubs, discos, restaurants, places to visit, relationships with thai girls, things to do, etc... I would appreciate very much your time and effort to answer here or on my email : amateur_ef@yahoo.fr
Thanks
Freeler/others,
I would like anyone's advice on a nice hotel in the Patong area that has a safe in the room, girl-friendly etc..I read the posts below about the "Orchid" and "Bayshore" which both look nice. Any leads on any other hotels? Also, what options to getting to Phuket from Bkk? It seems a daunting task looking at all the hotels on the net......so many places! Anyways, enough babbling, I'll be in Thailand for 1 month commencing August 28th~! Count down has begun! Full report(s) upon touchdown. Thanks for any advice/tips.
Freeler,
Thanks for the post. I'm still figuring out if I should fly or bus it depending I guess on time/cost. Any reliable travel agent places in BKK that can book a return flight once in BKK? (I assume a hotel will charge more than a travel agent?!) Will venture to Phi Phi island too since it's fairly close by. I understand nightlife there (phi phi) is close to non-extistant? Anyways, I'm looking to un-wind. Happy trails! Where are you "based"?
Freeler,
A unionist eh?....haha..wonder where that is! That's a good tip about flying to Phuket (going to the terminal and buying it there). I'm planning 3 days in Bkk, 4 nights or so in Phuket, another 4 on Phi Phi, then back to Bkk. From there, onto Samui for a week, then over to Pattaya for some raunchyness. That kills almost 3 weeks.....with over a 1 week left. Maybe I'll like Phuket and stay longer? I've been to Thailand b4, but only BKK, and Pattaya, so this time I really want to hit the islands and to "relax". Thanks for all your tips, if you're in BKK, maybe we can have a drink? Take care.
Freeler,
Thanks for your advice/tips. Slightly confused now (haha) as to which way to go! Point well taken about Phi Phi island. Doing more research and will let you know. I'll you know whatever way I decide. I'll probably ask another ? later! hehe.
Take care.
Getting closer to leaving for LOS. Any news on the Shark Club?Has it reopened this year. Presume all the local spots are still hot.(Rock Hard etc )
Any news on the low seaon prices quality of stock etc . Come on
guys lets get the Phuket board running again .
Will be in phuket from the 13th of August. staying at the bayshore and then moving on to Bangkok for action there at the spots already listed in the Bangkok board.
See you there guys let's share aload of relevant and up to date info.
Cheers
Caligula,
Hi sorry I did not get back to you earlier, only noticed your post today. Sure it could be fun to meet up in Patong. This is where I shall spend most of my time, as apart from girls, I plan to do some scuba diving. I may spend a few days in BKK on my way back home though. Don't know much about the scene in BKK as yet though. You can email me at clocker2010@aol.com if you fancy having a chat about your plans etc.
Cheers,
jonnie2010
Chikan,
Sounds like Freeler is giving you good advise.
Just one thing Freeler. Where air tickets only are concerned, I have found the travel agents right across from Nana Plaza to be cheaper than the ticket counter of the airlines. So, if Chikan is planning on a couple days in BKK anyway....
I also agree about Phi phi. A longer stay in Phuket might be called for, I love the place. Probably won't be able to get over there until March.
Later dudes,
FD
OK. What is the scene like in Phuket at the mo? Well I can only speak for Patong, as on my first jaunt to Thailand, that is where I landed for the weekend.
Shark Bar has NOT reopened, and from what I saw, it is very quiet in Patong right now, which I suggest means that it is a buyers market! :-)
In the bars, there are the whole range to choose from the beautiful, petite, sweet and acting innocent to the outrageous, and I have to add, not so beautiful!!
Each bar....and there are SO many seem to have about 5-10 girls free at any time.
Needless to say during the time I had there, I was able to have a fine time every day/night. Most of the girls, even the ones in the Go-Go bars seem to be asking for about 1500bht for Long Time (No idea on the short??) though if you "shop" around the bars you might get lucky for 1000bht! bar fines were 200bht in the bars, and 500bht in the go-go's.
I went to three go-go bars: SchoolGirl, flash and pink panther.
School girl had plenty of stimulating hostesses many very nice indeed though the dancing was tame?. Flash was the best....good atmosphere, nice girls and sexy dancing. Pink was (IMHO) dreadful. Bored looking girls not particularly attractive, though for interest alone, there was one who did a fascinating dance with a Cigar, a full bottle of Coke and a squeeky toy???
I think I might be revisiting in a month or so, so lets keep the updates, up-to-date!
Hi All!
Yes, I wonder how the Phuket general situation is in August, also about weather :->
I'm afraid that many nice girls leave Phuket and go back home for a while because of the shortage of tourists.
And if some of you can recommend me another place in Thailand which is good to go to in August.
Bye!
Anjo,
Pattaya is good. Rains too much in Phuket in august, at least that is what I am told. I will be in Pattaya middle of this month.
In Pattaya it´s easy to find a decent hotel for under 400 bath. Like Day & night hotel with TV,Bathtub and AC for 350 bath.
Anyone knews a cheep hotel with simular standard i Patong?
Freeler,
Thanks, I try that =)
I will be in Phuket about this time tomorrow.. can't wait. I plan to check into my hotel then head right to Soi Bangla which is only 5 mins away from my hotel. I'll try to post some reports during the afternoon thunderstorms.
Cheers.
FREELER: u wrote that ;
"Many of these girls in fact are farmgirls. They go back home this time of year to plant rice...
I heard several times( eg from different sources) that farmers don't pay taxes.
Sounds a good enough reason to me to plant some rice once a year!"
----
where is possbile to know some of this girls?
generally speaking is it difficult to fuck thai girls that dont work in gogo bars and do do it for the money ?
So I'm in Phuket.. been here one night...
Few things... since everyone asks.. Shark Disco is still closed... which is strange since its advertised everywhere... its on all the promotional stuff etc.
Its rather busy.. considering its low season... lot of Koreans and Japanese since August is their travel high season.
Hit all the Soi's on Bangla (Eric, Easy etc).. except Crocodile was tired from my 14 hours of travelling and didn't feel like fending off katooeys.
Anyway, the boy-girl ratio is really good in the beer bars, I didn't hit any go-go's yet (will tonight), but the quality of the girls is fairly low... and they are REALLY grabby.. I was so tired and strung out I got suckered into drinking with a couple I had no interest in.
I finally bar-fined this one girl, which was a waste of money. She was really eager etc in the bar, but once it came down to it, she was all rush-rush.. UNTIL I was finished... I was paying her ST and she wanted to stay in my room for the night. I couldn't believe it. She's like 'let me sleep for bit'.. it took some major urging to get her to leave without me having to be mean. BTW, I paid 1000 + 200 bf.. she was 1500 for LT.. glad I didn't.. what a waste. But I chock it up to travel fatigue.. today I am well rested and well fed. So this afternoon I will likely hit Christin's for a massage then some go-go's tonight. BTW, every single one of the bargirls I spoke too last night were from Isaan. There was one who was really friendly and didn't pressure me for drinks or BF but I passed on her because while she was quite cute she didn't match what I was looking for last night. Also.. because the traffic is so low, the girls are being really protective... I had to take a [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] and the one I was talking to held my hand to the toilet, waiting for me outside then guided me back to her bar.
Another thing... when I first arrived, all I wanted to was go down to the beach, sit down, watch the waves and relax. This is about 9:30.. well, if you go to the beach alone at night, you won't be able to relax.. I was constantly harassed by free-lancers who either "wanted to talk" or offered "good sucky". And they're just as insistent as bar girls. "why you hear alone you don't want suck?"
Anyhow, off to the beach.
I heard new Disco in Bangla Rd. name Tiger . it's suppose to be on the roof of Bangla Night Bazar . Who visit that place ?
Just arrived back from phuket a little quiet but good stock still available
found the 'Rock Hard' girls very aggressive in seeking 3000 LT.I managed to bar fine a real cutie she accepted 1500. excellent performance and service all round.
The Bar fine was 600 and the mamasan had instructed the girls particularly in 'Smokin Joe's 'to get 3000 or else.
Found this a bit of a pain in the ass. Be on the ball and stick to your guns.
Bars were good fun and lots of freelancers to be had at the 3 main discos

sorry about the mistake with the previous post.
first time i've been back to this forum for a few months and the new layout has confused me.
well anyway i'm back.
was last there in may/june and had a wicked time.
pink panther has certainly gone downhill,but that is due to the ousting of the old owner,harald,and the new thai ownership.
soi seadragon is a good place to hang out during the day,many girls from midday.
if you know where to go.
rockhard is still the best go-go and i've never been hit for 3000.
many friends in there and i had a good time whenever i visited and made more friends and enjoyed the company of the sister of the first thai girl i ever fell in love with.
flash is now crap.
soi eric is a good place to spend a couple of hours and my friend,danny runs a good bar in english bar and i enjoyed 5 of his girls.
have many stories i could tell,good and bad.
love the place.
i agree with nokna (is that you, chris?). phuket is great. pity that pp has gone downhill, but i still prefer the beer bars. and scuba diving in the day rather than muff diving! with the wonderful beaches and [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord117][CodeWord117][/url] it isn't really directly comparable with other places in los.
patong beach may be a bit over-priced compared with some parts of bkk. last time there i had 2 girlfriends in cowboy, drinking tequila like it was going out of fashion at 100 baht a shot, and they wanted 2000 baht per day full time each (!!!), plus 400 baht bar fine per day each, and the goddamned tequila and food bill besides. but 3 days of 2 girls in the same bed is kind of intoxicating, the sandwich/lesbo job is a pain at first, but keep persevering, get over the (other peoples') inhibitions, and it is real fun.
visitors should spend a while looking around in patong and getting to know some of the people, it is a great place. friendly, safe and accommodating. and there are very few russians at present, unlike pattayagrad. and you can probably get 2 non-tequila addicts in bed far cheaper in hkt than i managed in bkk (they were after all cousins of the thai wife of a friend, almost my own isaan family, so i was anyway obliged to pay the bills, shagging or not!). though i know from experience that after a 20 hour journey most people don't have a trip to macdonalds on their minds that first evening.
i'd also like to know where the tiger bar is, kojack. there is a place behind muay thai with some sort of fibre-glass giant tiger's head entrance, never went in there (anyone know it?), but i also heard there is a new small place. on top of ocean plaza may be right, anyone know?
soi sea dragon is also my favourite haunt, but only because i have tended to make friends there and so keep on going back (with no regrets over 3 years so far, touch wood!). the fff approach is fine for some, but i kind of like the thai gfe.
hope to be back in hkt in november - screw the northern winter! back to warm thai muff.
might be.
Tiger Disco is actually quite a cool place. It's just west of the Muay Thai place. (toward the beach) You have to go upstairs to the second floor of that new open air plaza with the bars that look like trees. 100B to get in which includes your first drink. The bit that attracts me to Tiger is the upper level where you can sit undisturbed (mostly) and just watch the action. It just has a texture about it that's just unique. Good sound system too.
BTW, a little investigation revealed that the Shark is never going to reopen. I guess the owner pissed-off someone in power. And since it closed, Tiger has opened and Tai Pan has expanded a lot, putting a little more pressure on not reopening Shark. Business in Thailand is bizarre.
Thanks for the info on Tiger, Saphaan.
What is the girlie action like in Tiger? Lots of freelancers? Shark was very good for that but the noise level and general pollution was just too much. How busy is it?
BTW, I was told that the land Shark is built on belongs to the Sukothai family, v. rich (as does the Sukothai hotel next door). The betting was that Khun Sukothai would have a quiet word in Thaksin's ear next time they played golf together and, lo and behold, Shark would be open again.
Seems like it may be Khun Sukothai himself who has pissed off the government? The place was making huge money, hard to believe that it would stay closed unless someone high up has got their claws into the owners.
Tiger has plenty of freelancers, of course. Plenty. But, somehow it doesn't feel like a "market" as much as some other places. It could be that having to buy your first drink on the way in (B100) just cuts down the quantity of FL TG's; not that quantity is ever an issue. I was there about two weeks ago, low season to be sure, and the place was packed all night, every night. Not uncomfortable, just packed. Come to think of it, I did pick up a couple of cuties there.
On noise level, I think that a good sound system helps a lot. It's loud of course, but not as "noisy" as most of the beer bars. I was able to converse with friends and new acquaintances without great effort, and without being hoarse or deaf the next morning.
I have sensitive ears, and intend to keep them that way, so I use earplugs. If you get the little flesh colored spongy ones, and tear them in half, they're virtually invisible. It makes hearing conversations a lot easier, but I suppose it takes a little time to get comfortable with them.
Tiger is clean too, the seats, tables, bar, toilets, even the air, due to a high ceiling and decent circulation. There’s lots of staff running around tidying up and such. Is that what you meant by general pollution? It’s also very new, which helps. Every ten minutes or so they turn all the lights up full blast for about 1 second. Gives you a quick daylight view of your company. Nice touch.
As for exactly who pissed off whom, there's only so much a falang needs to know. :) I know that I never want to own or run a business of any kind in Thailand. It took long enough to learn the rules for east/west coast US, various places in Europe, and Japan. I'm done. I will, however, keep an ear open for more info on those families, now that you've thrown the names out.
Another cool place that doesn’t get mentioned much is Galaxy. The place is huge, and always full, but I think it’s mostly a Thai crowd. It’s just next to Tai Pan, on the soi with the V-plaza and the giant bungee ball of death. Anyone know the place?
the bungee was fun.
took my main girl on it and she was terrified,but i loved it.
[QUOTE]Originally posted by nokna
[i]the bungee was fun.

nokna, did you buy the video? I sat down ot the base of that thing with a beer one night just watching the monitor. I guess there's a camera and mic on board the ball. funniest damn thing ever. What really caught my attention was the shower of little bits of rubber everytime they launched that thing.
no video.
must admit did'nt know one was available.
hi saphaan, nokna, tiger sounds like a good place. i never went into galaxy. i also never did the bungee-ball thing. man, i am sooo boring! but a guy slightly smaller than myself was still heavy enough to break the elastic on a charity bungee jump in a car park back home recently and ended up dead meat. your mention of
"the shower of little bits of rubber everytime they launched that thing"
does not fill me with confidence. i'll avoid it, thanks.
how's valhalla doing? the last time i tried there was way back in february and it was closed, something about **** girls, but the rumoour was that the owner had pissed off a thai and he had sent in the police and shut the place down.
as far as owning a place goes, i know quite a few people in thailand and the philippines who get by ok. they just pay off the police and the local mafia as necessary, and mostly seem to live a quiet but pleasant existence. deep shit happens if you cross a well-connected local, or nowadays from what i hear in pattaya at least, if the russians decide they want your turf.
it still attracts me. maybe not a brothel, but a bar or small guesthouse perhaps.
I will be entertaining some picky Korean businessman type guys in the October-November timeframe. They want to go to a very “upscale” girlie bar. What they are used to in Korea is of course Room Salons and Karioke bars and “hostess” bars, where the girls are extraordinarily beautiful, etc.
They are used to paying too much in Korea, so I suppose that the sky is the limit.
Are there any clean, quiet, upscale hostess bars in Phuket?
Let me hear from you,
Byeon Kwang Sae
[email]just_a_nice_old_guy@yahoo.com[/email]
freeler,
thanks for the advice.
having spent much of the last 25 years roaming africa and se asia i am aware of many of the pros and cons of business in the third world. hell, i nearly bought a share in a hotel in lagos! (breathes sigh of relief and wipes sweat from brow)
i would never consider setting up a business on my own, but there are always expats around who are happy to guide you to a friendly lawyer and explain the ropes. like the rules with thai wives, marry 'em in their village for the family's sake but don't register the wedding otherwise the wife can't own the sort of property you want. that kind of trick.
personally i find the philippines the most attractive scenario long term, especially cebu and mactan island. lots of brit and aussie run places there, plus a pile of german places as usual in rp. but short-term i am still looking at los due to the infinitely larger tourist market. find a niche…..
but who knows? in scotland i was scraping ice off the goddamn car this morning. as you say, who needs to work, i'll just continue emptying the glasses for now.
Hi guys!
Will be going PK next week, just wondering is there any "dummies bonking guide to Phuket" available like those for Hatyai from ********.com ?
thanks.
i have herd from well conceted expats in phuket, that the shark club was closed by local goverment since it was to sucsessfull, some local thai did not like that a farang from canada to have such a sucsessfull place. the owner did make a profit in the range of 70-80 million bhat a year. they send in police, and the police suposely found drugs, **** girls, prostitution etc. "all the fun" in thailand. the goverment want as well reduce the numbers of "beer"bars, the girlie scene. the plan is to turn phuket in to a more family friendly, uposcale resourt area. you can see this as well from some of the new vacation home developments on the island with houses in the pricerang 1-2,5 million usd. so the pzartyplace phuket is maybe disipering. this is policy from bangkok. they hyave big plns about this development.
Question bout Phuket, Is it illegal to have sex in public? Say if I'm at the beach and I get solicited?
on a side note anybody know where I can get the bus to Hat Yai from the beach area. I'll be around the Holiday Inn?
dlite_me: I don't think sex in public is legal as long as topless sun-bathing for woman is unwillingly seen. In Patong beach at night you can watch hookers (most of them are ladyboys) offering their service at the beachfront on the same benches used by sun-bathing tourist during daytime.
I never tried...
Howdy guys,
dlite_me,
Public sex is definately illegal. But you'd probably get off with a stiff fine, so to speak.
Have any of you guys stayed at either the "Kata Beach Resort" or "Kata Delight Villas" ? Considering a dive vacation in May.
rabagast,
They've been talking about a "clean up" for at least a decade (probably longer). I wouldn't worry too much.
FD
Hey guys,
What I found good in Phuket was just picking up a local chick off the side of the road. After doing the rounds of the bars and clubs a few times I just asked women hanging about if they wanted to come back to the hotel and the answer was always yes. I think the girls wandering around at 2 and 3 in the morning are all part timers but still nice girls to be found. Never paid more than 1000 Baht and that was with no bargaining skills sober and even less at that time of the night after drinking Singha all night. A good place to go also is a small bar called Ned Kellys, run by a guy from the states, friendly place, nice girls. If you get there on the owners birthday (as me and a mate did) you leave pissed as without spending a cent. Have a good one!.
Thanks guys,
I'll wait and bring em to the hotel.
I'm staying at the Expat Hotel, is it girl friendly? I booked for two adults already, even though I will check in myself.
Anybody know where to get the bus or shuttle from patong beach to Hat Yai? I want to get the train to KL from there.
dlite_me,
Since you are there, try this link for transport.
http://www.southtours.net/transpor.html
hope it help.
Freeler, My MAN
Sorry about the link, just trying to help.
On Patong, u mean the LT is cheaper than Hatyai
First time posting here as I have been living in Korea (what a mistake!) Will possibly be in Penang MY next week and looking to cross over to Thailand and Phuket. Is it easily accessible? Not necessarily a day trip but a weekend stay but don't want to waste all day in travel. Thanks for the heads up. Also, coming from Korea, is Malaysia equally biased against Westerners as I have been seeing in the posts??
Seoulmac,
Tourist are always welcome in Malaysia anytime........
Penang to Hatyai, Thailand around 3 hrs by road.
From Hatyai you can go by air to Phuket which is cheaper if you get your plane ticket there.
Planning my first trip to Phuket in the first half of December and need advise.
What is a good, girl friendly place to stay?
How is scuba diving in the area? Other fun things to do?
dlite_me,
Expat is definately "girl friendly", but not the best deal in town. Why not book for a few days then search out a better spot for the remainder ?
Sultan,
Almost every place is girl friendly, unless you are staying at the "upper class' resort type places.
The diving is great. You are getting there after the rainy season and the vis is getting good. If you have time, and money, get out to the Similan Islands.
I may be in town at the same time Dec. 11th to 19th. A beer or two will get you all the insight I have, which isn't a lot !!!
Fantasea Divers are one of Phukets oldest and best dive operators.
To all: the site: phuket.com has a lot of good info, especially on hotels.
Firedick
thanks fire dick..
.but I'll only be at the expat from the 22nd to 24th only.....then off to Singapore by train...I wanna sample the delights in Hat yai and Singapore too...but have to cut out Malaysia. Then I'm back at the Patong Street Inn til the 3rd.
How's the Patong Street Inn??
By they way guys..if you are looking for western girls to bang...there will be alot of English teachers in Phuket from the 22nd to the 3rd. Alot of them are from the states. Some from New Zealand. In the group I'm going with...there are at least 4 girls looking for guys.......they are not ugly...but they work in Japan...thus they are starving for some Farangs.
By the way I have the asian fever....so western girls don't appeal to me so much.
We had taken a bus from Bangkok and ended up meeting with a tour operator in Phuket. We ended up booking some very resonable hotels, tours and a return trip.
If i find his email or phone number, I will post it.
Having been to Phuket a few times, I felt the quality of accomodation and level of service was great., especially using my credit card without a problem.
In the future i know I can just email him ahead of time and he can arrange pickup in Bangkok or from the Phuket airport
He was also able to arrange minibus from Bangkok to Pattaya for far less than we had ever paid.
I'm going to be traveling from Pattaya to Phuket during the Christmas Hoidays. Can anyone tell me the easiest, safest way to get there?

Take a minibus to Bangkok and fly., otherwise there is a Ferry that goes from Pattaya to Phuket.
You can also take the train. But a VIP bus (like a greyhound) is maybe safest cleanest and cheapest
A VIP bus is cheaper than a minibus
Based on time and $., I would suggest just choosing Pattaya or Phuket. Not sure what you can really get hitting both, unless you never plan to go back. They are different, but not that much to warrant $30-$200 in transportation costs and 6-24 hours (similar getting back to Bangkok) transit to hit both beyond hotel costs.
Hey Prog,
I assume that you saw my other post on this route.
These guys don't know that you're rolling in bucks ! So Freelers Option #1 would probably be the best for you, if you decide against the adventurous route of ferrying to Hua Hin. Freeler is also right that there is no ferry from Pattaya to Phuket. You would have to circumnavigate the entire Malay penninsula !
I must also strongly disagree (repectfully) with Mr. Bean on any similarities between Pattaya and Phuket. A world of difference in my book. Email me if you'd like details.
Sorry Dlite,
I don't know the Patong Street Inn. Freeler ?

I agree they are different, but lets say you only have one week .., If it was just girls., go to Pattaya and close out in Bangkok before your trip home. (or some order there) If you find more time and have the $., then go to Phuket. I really like Phuket, which tody is my first choice; but more for beaches, diving and I find it a bit cleaner. Just myHO. Do what you feel moves you, since I am sure anyone can enjoy Thaialnd.
Flying is the most efficient way to go.
Should be under $180 and you can buy it online at United.com for Thai Airways.
I never took the boat, but a friend took it from either Crabi or some other island out to some point near Pattaya
If $ isn't an issue, I suppose I would be in Amsterdam or Rio. (amsterdam is cold now though) For the hobby, Thailand is certainly Unique
Oh, bring your own condoms because the most common found in Thai 7-11s are small and very tight.
All,
Thanks for your inputs. I've had lots of fun in Pattaya but I definitely don't want to make it my destination for the New Years. My plan is to land in Bangkok very early on Christmas day. I then will head straight to Pattaya and will stay there 12/25 - 12/28. I’m then off to Phuket until January 2. From there I'm going to party in the Philippines until the 10th. I will then finish off my trip with 2 nights in Bangkok. Freeler gave me some great directions from Pattaya to Phuket (THANKS).
FD,
Me? Rolling in bucks? Ha-ha... Not yet. I'm working on it though. My plan is to retire in ten more years. Then I'll come and mooch off you when you move to Thailand...

Gentlemen
I hate to break this news because I especially have enjoyed Phuket several times, but as reported in the Friday edition of the Daily Yomiuri Newspaper (English Yomiuri Shimbum) from Reuters, the Danish Foreign Ministry issued a warning of possible terrorist attacks in Phuket based on intelligence information. They singled out Patong.
I have spent most of my Phuket time on Karon Beach and ran across a lot of Scandanavian tourists there, so I think the Danish government is out to protect their own citizens.
I saw the story in this morning's BK Post about terrorist threats to Phuket.
Quoting www.denmark.dk (Danish govt website) it said that the whole island is under threat, but especially Patong.
I checked the Danish website but couldn't find the item mentioned.
Reaction from Phuket govt officials: "this is the safest island in the world, nothing could happen here".
Um, sorry, I thought that Bali was the safest, gentlest island in the world......
Everyone knows how porous the Thai coastline is. Phuket is no safer than Bali was.
It's not going to stop my impending visit. But I do advise people to be on the lookout (difficult I know when a girl has her hand down your pants or you've just guzzled a dozen Singhas).
I've seen Arabs in Patong. Would this be a deterrent to bombing the place? Maybe if the Arabs disappear it would be a bad sign (inside knowledge)?
Terrorist f*ckwits.
hi guys, I will be in Phuket enter the 11th and 26th of November, hope to meet WSG brother there for a few beers.
How is Banana disco since the Shark was close?
I will stay in a beach resort in Pansea Bay, but definitivly want to check out the action around Patong.
See you soon beach, butt, brother and beer..................

BYO girls on a diving trip
I would like to go diving and need some advice about a live-aboard that will not mind me bring my NON diving friends alsong (well not underwater diving anyways (grin). Recommendations warmly welcomed. I can show the girls my sea snake !
Horny Old Goat
Can anyone please update the action at Christines? Is it still FS? What is the price? Is the best action for someone who cannot bring a date back to his room? What are my other options? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Pahllus Maximus:
Check out EDEN in Bangkok. I was just with a pair of girls there tha told me that they have customers that take them to Phuket from time to time. And believe you me, they will do anything you ask and then some. Other than that your best bet is to go to one of the Go Go houses and pick a girl you like and make a deal with them. All the girls are available for extended stays, just have to pay the barfine.
Good luck.
Hello everyone!
I will be going to Krabi, ao nang, railay, and koh lanta soon, Im looking for a good time, my question is does any one know if there is any brothels or sex seen in those places?
and how much shold u pay??
Wright to me on sugnakillensthlm@hotmail.com
thank you on forehand Eric
sugenman,
Unfortunately, I can not help. But I plan to make a similar circle route in May. I'd love to hear how your trip turns out.
"Horny old goat" ,
I've never heard of or seen non divers on liveabords, except for one lady accompanying her husband, in Honduras. She paid full price. I have taken girls out on day trips, but thats always been contingent on space. They are, of course, bumped for paying passengers. Good luck.
FD
Need Advice:
Fisrt time to Thailand so I've never BF a girl before...If I want to BF a waitress, I should just talk to her and negotiate directly, right??
If I want to BF a dancer, I have to wait til she finishes and then go to her??
Or Do I get a waitress to call her over when she finishes??
Expat hotel, is it safe to store stuff in their safe deposit box?
Patong Inn? Same question??
dlite,
I find it hard to believe that you've never bar fined. You've got multiple posts !
Well, maybe you've just been chatting. With both waitresses and dancers, you need not wait. If you want to go, just barfine. In terms of BF, there's no difference between a dancer and a waitress. BF applies to both. If you're looking to save a few baht ( not worth it in my book ) then you may be able to hook up after her shift is over. But why wait until 2:00 AM to save $20 ? While she's dancing, call her over for a ladys drink (only one, for her only, she may come with friends) until you decide if she's what you want. This is the time to tell her what you want and how much you'll pay.
I've stayed at the Expat with no security problems. Never been to the Patong Inn. Expat has seen it all, no probs with girls, of any number (that's number, not age).
FD
Yeah FD
I'm a BF Virgin. I mostly post in Japan & HK. I never seen BF places in these places. I mostly go to those establishments where I can bang the girl on the premises.
Hello every one!
Iwold like to know puket prices for analsex and also deepthroat, does any one know if it ishard to find girls that performs this?
how do I meet thai girls that will go with this?
Tnx
Hi guys,
I'm going back to Patong Beach for my fifth visit at the end of January.
Looking for a good deal on the accommodation front, I found an advert in the Phuket Gazette for some condos called BJ Park at the end of Soi San Sabai.
Seems very reasonably priced at about 1000 Baht per night for a studio. And looks nicely done out, kitchen plus alll the usual stuff.
Better than the 1950 Baht per night my usual hotel wants at that time of year (high season crap).
Anybody stayed at BJ Park or know anything about it?
Grateful for any info.
I'm in Phuket at the moment, though I've had precious little time for sanuk so far. Should have more after today, though tonight I'm told everything will be shut down for the king's birthday. The one girl I did barfine from one of the gogos off Soi Bangla wanted 1500baht for short time, settled for 1000 after a fair amount of grumbling, and then turned from sweetheart into clock-watcher back at the hotel when I didn't finish quickly.
FWIW, I managed a walk-in rate at the PS Hotel of 1050baht, and it's a decent enough place -- clean, quiet both inside and out, girl-friendly, only about fifty meters away from the main drag on Patong. Sorry, Toy Boy, don't know anything about BJ Park.
sugenman,
It is sometimes difficult and embarassing to find Thai girls who will do specifice acts due to the communication barrier. If you are in a gogo bar and ask the mamasan, they will help you but sometimes find your request funny and tell all the girls who laugh about it! If you ask the girl you're interested in it is hard to know if she fully understands if her English is weak. I prefer to ask the girl and use body language at the same time, like by putting my hand on her butt. How do you convey deepthroat? I don't know! I once used pictures from a porn magazine in one foreign country to show the street girls what I wanted. But you have to be very careful with this and consider the country you are in!!!! Try to find another sex tourist who knows some Thai, I had no problems finding help when I wanted to express a more complicated idea to a Thai girl.
Firedick, I completely understand why many prefer to pay bar fines and ST rooms since the idea is to bang the girl you want when you are horny. But for those with time (weeks as opposed to days) I recommend writing down phone numbers of all girls you like (in gogos, bars, or anywhere else). I got into the pattern of calling a girl before she got to work (3-5PM) and taking or calling another one late (2AM) and going to my hotel. This saved me 1800 bhat a day in barfines and ST rooms. 1800 bhat/day is nothing to you? That is great, but I believe many aren't in that enviable position!
Joe_zop,
Glad you finally made it out of CM. I thought you were going to stay there until your time was up...
There are loads of great little beaches in Phuket, I would have mailed you the specifics, but the gawddamn Yahoo won't let me write mails.
A nice way to turn any bar/gogo girl into very-accomodating-mode is to bring them out to Laem Phromthep at sunset. Very romantic, tho probably hundreds will be there...
And Joe, please, even in Patong barfines are B200 and LT B750 max!
Y'all,
December 30 is now a public holiday too. So, if you plan to do ANY travelling from December 29-January 3, get reservations well in advance or forget about it all together!
Unless you want to be transported like canned sardines, that is:D!
Freeler -- no, I was always planning to run out of CM; just took me longer than I expected (though I'm still planning to head back in a while.) Thanks for the advice on Laem Phromthep and it's something I'll try if I have the chance, though I'm actually not all that fond of Phuket to tell the truth, at least not Patong. Not sure I'm going to stick around to explore all that much, but my plans will be clearer tomorrow night.
And the 500b bar fine was what I was quoted in all of the gogo I've visited here, and some of the ST/LT quotes there were far more outrageous -- beer bars are less, of course, in all ways, and are likely more where I'll be hanging from this point on.
Joe_zop,
Phuket is nice!
Patong is by far the worst part of the island...
Other towns, like Karon or Kata, are smaller, quieter.... better!
Just get yourself a B200/day motorbike (HondaDream, not one of those big suicide machines!) and drive around.
You'll love it.
A daytrip to JamesBondIsland is great too. Never mind it's touristy. It is touristy because it is a GREAT site to visit!
Yes, they will drop you of at your hotel in time to do some early evening barhoppin'.
joe_zop,
Don't get disillusioned by the prices. Patong is generally more expensive but 200 Baht BF in a bar and 400 Baht in a GoGo is all I have ever paid.
Try hanging around Soi Bangla, or the supermarket at the junction with Rat-u-Thit road, after closing time at 2:00 AM if you have the patience. Anything with tits and two legs was available for 500 Baht back in February.
IMHO, Soi Sea Dragon is by far the best of the soi's. Great choice of beer bars or GoGo's. Over the last 3 years it has also generally had a good selection of lookers as well. My approach is just to relax, drink a beer and scout out a girl I like. Freeler?s suggestion on collecting phone numbers is a great idea. 1800 Baht is more beer than I can drink in a night, even at Phuket prices!
I now get free sex whenever I am in Patong, not from a bar girl, but from a "normal" Thai girl who works as a cashier. OK, not exactly free, there are some overheads (presents, trips to Krabi, Ko Phi Phi, etc.)!
I just find the beaches, diving, and day trips available in Phuket so much more relaxing than BKK or Pattaya. It costs, but there?s a lot of shit in BKK that will set you back more than anything I have ever done in Patong Beach.
Oh yeah, and don?t miss Christen?s for a massage. Not up to the best of BKK, but still very good. And you can be lying on a beach drinking fresh coconut milk the next morning. Try that on Sukhumvit.
Steve
(P.S. where is the PS hotel?)
Tonydasnake,
Your point is well taken. I am still in the more cash/less time available group. But that will change in a few years. Enviable position ? I'm not so sure, sitting here in front of my damn computer on the wrong side of the Pacific !
Toy Boy,
I agree 100%. Soi Seadragon is a lot of fun. Is Amigo's Bar still open ? Have you done much diving this year ?
Don't give up yet Joe ! Freelers right about the bike too. I did a 400 cc "cafe racer" last time. Waste of money. The little 110's are perfect for Phuket.
FD
Firedick,
I fully intended to make at least 3 trips to LOS this year, but pressures of work reduced this to 3 weeks in February. Not been back since :-(
I can't remember Amigos. My fave place is the Navy Bar, especially young Katai (Tai to her friends) if she is around. Moody, won't do anything too kinky, but a 9/10. PP GoGo is also fun.
Diving was great 10 months ago! Should be fine in 2 months as well, if I can force myself to get out of bed in time and shake the stale beer from between my ears. There's just too much to do in Phuket.
Fully agree on the small Hondas versus the big bikes. Bike crashes are the main cause of expat deaths in Phuket and run at one a week on average I believe. My girlfriend managed to cream herself on her little scooter during Songkran. Cost me 10,000 Baht to get her repairs sorted out. She'll pay in full early next year though when I return :-)
Steve
Don't get me wrong -- Phuket is truly breathtaking and marvelous; I'm just not a big one for huge crushes of tourists everywhere I go. Probably also why I'm not a huge Pataya person, and can only take short stops in Bangkok. I just prefer a bit more of a mellow experience, which may be why I like Samui, and why I'm thinking of a trip to Ko Chang before it gets destroyed. In any event, I'm toodling around a bit today, and heading for Krabi (and then probably Trang after that) tomorrow. Did Ko Phi Phi (have to admit I had somewhat higher expectations, though it was very nice) and will end up doing it again, as I'm going to do Krabi via ferry as opposed to bus -- not much difference in price overall, and a far better view along the way.)
And believe me, all, I've not in any way given up -- hardly the first time I've had a session go south. In fact, I managed to find another relative newcomer to the scene (which seems to be one of my themes this trip for some reason) at a little bar in on Soi Seadragon. A tiny little tilac, only 147cm (4'8") tall and just here on Monday from Udon Thani. Such a good time that I'm keeping her for the remainder of my stay here (Contrary to the principles of Z, I know, but my perspective is not to dump a good thing, and I'm still leaving tomorrow.) And yes, 200b bar fine and reasonable LT.
I'm not a big one for getting creamed here on a bike, big or small, and I find the drivers here even worse than in many places in LOS, so I'm just not going to bother with the cycle scene. Probably would have given it a try if I were staying longer, but I'm already antsy to get moving around a bit.
The PS Hotel is about a hundred feet north of the end of Soi Banglaon Rat-u-Thit, just past the soi that leads to the ExPat. I've had nothing but excellent service and no hassles there to this point, (they simply hold the girl's ID) and will definitely use it again.
Hi joe_zop,
Sounds like you're not having a bad time in Patong Beach after all! Bloody sight better than the freezing weather and even colder women here.
Thanks for the info on PS hotel, I will keep it in mind.
Can you please educate me: what is a tilac (as in > I managed to find another relative newcomer ....... a tiny little tilac)? It sounds delicious, but I've never heard the term before (sheltered childhood, etc.).
Have a great time,
Steve.
Hey Joe Zop,
I would consider it a personal favor if you would post your findings about Krabi and Trang. I've never seen either, but plan to on a dive trip in May to Phuket. Thanks.
Toy Boy,
I'll check out the Navy bar. Thanks. I wouldn't be surpized if the "Amigos Bar" has gone under. Their website is down. It was never a "great" bar, but owned by a friend. On the diving...did you get out to the Similans ?
FD
Joe_zop,
The bus is MUCH cheaper than the boats. B125 bus, B500 boats...
The scenery is pretty damned good too!
Trang and surroundings are the 'new ground' for the LP carrying kiniau's. They made a new discovery and are killing it o-reddy...
Travelagent's prices were rediculous both last January and last May.
Toy Boy -- tilac (or tirac) is Thai for "darling" if I've got it correct. And, yes, I did enjoy my time in Patong, really -- three days with a lovely girl who was shy but responsive the first night, and then aggressive and demanding the next ones, as well as willing to try thing new to her (first time riding on top, which she described as too much, but kept doing it) and first time giving or receiving oral. Definitely beats the weather in the twenties I see is swirling around at home.
FD, Amigos is still there; I recall walking past it. Didn't stop in for a drink -- too many bars, not enough days! -- but it was there. And I'll post whatever I find about Krabi and Trang, though I'm not stying in either all that long. Krabi isn't much in terms of a town, really, from what I've seen in a couple of hours, but the wharf is really nice, and the surrounding scenery is spectacular. I'll see what there is going on a bit later tonight.
I know the bus was way cheaper, Freeler, but my back's still not quite right from the last one, and I wanted to do things by water, regardless of a couple hundred baht. I'm glad I did, as I really enjoyed the look of things coming into Ao Nang. Truly spectacular. I'll be on the bus/van to Trang, though, and probably back north, depending on where I go. Not much I can do about Trang being invaded, unfortunately -- maybe I'll be lucky and they'll all be at the various beaches and islands :) I know what you mean about new ground -- given that Ko Chang seems suddenly to be designated as the next Phuket, I'm really considering heading over there before it gets all built up and damaged.
joe_zop,
I hate foreign languages. Some time ago I bought a book in Bookazine, "Thai for lovers - a complete guide to the romantic culture of Thailand", thinking this would allow me to suggest all sorts of interesting and fun new things to the ladies with effortless precision.
That night I sat with a bar girl and tried to get into it (the book that is). She kept telling me 'man is crap, man is always crap'. This wasn't good for my ego, even if she was trying to explain the difference between kop khun krap and . . ka.
Then a few nights later I was showing it to the regular girl (who oddly seemed a bit mystified by some of the more explicit stuff in it) and she latched on tight to the section starting with 'How much will the dowry be?'. I kept trying to speak the wors for 'no need for a dowry' in Thai, while desperately looking for the phrase for "are you off your sweet fucking head".
After the 'crap man' stuff I called it a day trying to learn Thai. But I shall remember "tilac" and try it next time.
Firedick: no I never got to the Similans, it?s on my list of things to do and has been for some time (Ha! Like diving in Palawan, after 5 years of visiting the Philippines I still ain't been there). I saw some stuff in the press that the visitors have been lousing the place up by leaving their litter on the beaches. A mate of mine did go there three years ago and enjoyed it, but he didn?t rave about it. Unlike my Dive Instructor friend living in Mindoro who does rave about Palawan. And about the sweetest blowjob he ever got in Puerto Princessa , not only about the great diving.
Steve
Toy Boy (Steve),
We seem to be cut from similar cloth. I've been to Phuket 7 or 8 times now and have never made it out to the Similans. Nor have I gotten down to Palawan despite living in Manila and making multiple trips back before and since. I guess it's easy to get lazy and sit on a bar stool enjoying the company of the ladies. Your comment about the liter is dead on. I hate the way so many of the Filipino people trash their environment. I had a girl on the back of my motorcycle finish her mango juice and chuck the can along the side of the road. She thought I was absolutely crazy when we went back to pick it up.
Joe Zop,
Thanks for the Krabi info. I'll be waiting. It's good to hear that Amigos is still open. I don't think it was doing too well. More girls than customers last time I was in there.
FD
FD,
Lucky you, living in Manila.
I used to frequent Dakak in N. Mindanao and got badly hooked on a girl from Dipolog. That cost me two years of travelling until I found (again!) the extent of the SE Asian extended family problem and ditched her (or did she ditch me? - I can't remember). After that it was strictly S/T in Mactan and Ermita. The diving around Zamboanga del Norte was great when El Nino wasn't bleaching the coral all to hell. The big walls off Cebu were my favourites, tremendous to just hover in silence at 30 m above a 1000 m sheer drop.
I?ve been trying to get a job in SE Asia for 25 years. Last year I thought I had it, a job in BKK itself! But the guy who wanted me there got moved on himself by his wondrous employer?s rotation system, and the dickless moron who replaced him decided to save costs and not hire anybody new.
Keep us posted on your progress.
Steve.
Manila was a short (1 year) gig. Back in L.A. now.

Does anyone know anything about the action around the quieter places of Phuket Island such as Phang Nga? I want to go to Phuket but want to go somewhere quieter then Patong beach but still with some ladies. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Hi guys,
going back to Phuket in two weeks, need some advice:

... was lucky, wanted to stay with that terriffic f..... anyway!!

thanks in advance!
... going to paradise again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi!
I stayed at Club bamboo, 3 star bungalow resort. very nice place not far from Holyday inn. Paid 1600THB for Bungalow. You can book the place throgh www.latestays.com. Freindly staff.
jes007,
did you bring different girls there and no hussle??
how far from the beach?
I heard sansabai is ok, but I do not like to goi there. my buddy stayed there and had trouble with all the sex-noise at night as it´s also a ST place.
and too far to the beach.
... going to paradise soon!!!
Yes, I had three girls there, the girls have to leave their ids in the frontdesk, but the staff speak good english. The owners are from Holland.

Michi and Jes007,
I stayed at Club Bamboo two times already. Great Place and no problems with bringing girls. Booked also via latestays.com and got good value for my money. They have shuttle service to the beach during the daytime. During my last stay I took the Penthouse suite because they gave me a very good price.
Wait until you see the jacuzzi in that room. You can party with 2 girls in the tub and there will still be space.
I am planning to go back the end of January. Will keep you updated
Good place to stay in Patong "Siam Guest House" Very near the action. On the road adjacent to Soi Bangla (opposite end to beach, 7/11 on corner) about 50 yards up on the left past the Yorkshire Hotel. (good food incidentally)
Thai run, nice rooms 800 bht double 650bht smaller room. No hassle at all with bringing girls back. Very friendly staff.
can be emailed at [email]siamguesthouse@hotmail.com[/email], they will also pick you up from the airport if you want.
I'm going to be Phuket for a 3 days in march (side-trip from elsewhere in the region), my first trip to LOS. I've skimmed through the forum and some of the archives, but was curious if somebody had current info on prices, the situation with the gov't discouraging the fun, and good places to go to pick up part-timer chicks or amateurs?
Old posts seem to indicate a lot of transvestites (not my thing!), is that still the case?
What is the acceptable price range these days for amateurs or part-timers, as well as for hotels these days?
I will post a report after my trip.
thnx.
Rumpus
was in Patong (Phuket) in mid November. Plenty of action going on. Prices around 1000bht-1500bht for Lt and around 500bht for st. At the time I was there, to get a bargain you just had to wait til 2am when the bars close and you can strike a good deal for whatever you want! (so many women, not enough punters)
Some Ladyboys but you will spot them.
Hi,
Anyone know where to get viagra in Phuket, preferably a pharmacy somewhere in Patong Beach?
hi all
I am going to phuket at the beginning of april. Will stay in karon or kata after some days diving in the similan.
I love massage,and if possible to have some fun during or at the end of the massage .....BJ or something like that.*
I am going there with my wife.....yes I know...I would like to know if some of you know some good places where we could both have a massage but a different one for me without giving any doubt on my serious apparent nature to my wife? I don't necessary look for fuck but a nice massage with some nices ends could be nicer;
Any idea or experience in this area?patong kata krabi?
thanks for help
thierry
HiPulu94,
only one serious massage place in Phuket, Christines on the main road. But Icannot give you any recommendation, do not believe in monopolists and never went myself.
some brothers gavve recom before, but very mixed quality it seems.
On the beach roed girls will appproach you for massage as well, but be aware: a lot of katoey -- no girls!
I Prefer to look for a nice girl in the bars or discos and than take oput. ... but with you wife around probably no goiod idea!
CU Mike
Christens is the place to go for either.
On the ground floor, there is the traditional Thai massage (no oil) and also oil massage. The girls will offer you additional services which is only a HJ (with no other intimacy) for which they will ask for a tip of about 500 Bt. I don't remember how much you have to pay for the massage itself.
If you go upstairs, you can get a body on body massage which costs about 2,000 Bt for about an hour. This includes a CBJ and FS. You can sit at the bar and look at the fish bowl which has regular girls on the left and "superstars" on the right. After a drink you can choose one by pointing her out to one of the manager type guys and quoting her number.
I had 3 good ones there and I will definitely be back !
Cheers.
thanks for these information..... doesn't look like many possibilities ...will try christines then

no new messages added since 26th january --- is phuket really so quiet?
i just got back from 4 weeks in patong beach, so will give a quick update, even if nobody is interested as would be judged from the level of postings here!
the bottom line is that it is all much the same as last year but a bit quieter when i was there this time. the hotel owners in soi san sabai tell me that they had a good xmas/january, then it all went quiet in february. but it seems that they expect to be busy again in april (songkran water fever?).
anyway, if you fancy a last minute trip to patong, there are vacancy signs on most of the hotels and guest houses on san sabai. no problem getting accommodation at all.
shark is still closed. last year the story was that the sukothai family (mega-rich golf playing buddies of thaksin) owned the land here and would ensure that after a dignified closure period it would soon reopen. one year later it is still shut down. why? nobody seems to know. obviously, somebody is making money out of it, but the only big beneficiary i could see is tai pan just across the road, which is busier than it used to be. plenty of freelancers here, presumably some of the old shark crowd. but it hardly makes up for the missing 600 k baht/night turnover that went down the tubes when shark was closed down.
the sea dragon gogos are changing their names but not much else that i could see. pink panther, for example, has become the height bar (no idea why?). octopus has opened on the corner with bangla and had a lot of money spent on it, but seemed empty all the time.
imho the best looking ladies are still to be found in sea dragon, but they are not the cheapest or always the most co-operative. i found two really sweet ladies (lin and elly) in soi eric who were into a regular threesome and were much more realistic on the money front. bar fine is still 200 baht, and i was more than happy to pay for them both.
the muay thai girls on soi bangla are still good for a laugh, but the bar fine has gone up to 300 baht. i found one (kai) who did a great fingernail massage before the sex, and used her on a number of nights (including my last one, 2 hours sleep before catching the bkk flight home).
the cheapest way to get a lady is still to wait until closing time at 2:00 am and all the way from the cockpit to the 7/11 you will find girls who will usually jump at 500 baht for short time. i did it one night, but then got to sleep at 6:00 am which totally left me wrecked for the beach the next day. easier to pay 200 baht bar fine, maybe a few hundred extra for the girl, and get to bed before the goddamn sun comes up.
the only real massage parlour, christen's, is still going strong, but i avoided it this time. between the sea dragon, eric and thai boxing girls i had six lovely ladies at my regular disposal. actually, although i didn't need the sex, the soapy body massage at christen's is worth it. next time i will renew my acquaintance.
the us navy showed up once in the first week, and then it was only a small supply ship (300 sailors). they are no longer allowed to stay onshore, and also have to wear civvies, so you won't know them anyway. to be honest, in my experience the impact of the navy is anyway overblown. most of these guys are pleasant lads, and seem more interested in getting fun cocktails that the ship's bar doesn't serve than in laying pipe. there?s also clearly the standard navy contingent of boys who ain't interested in girls.
well, there you have it. a quiet, relaxing, no-pressure, fun, four weeks in the sun. maybe that's why the board here is quiet. patong beach is not the world's most exciting place. none of the borderline (or even downright illegal) stuff that you can find in bangkok is readily available. or at least if it is, then it is much less obvious. but it is safe and easy to get around, has a great beach and wonderful [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord117][CodeWord117][/url], ice cold beer and more girls than you can shake a condom at. in spite of the katoey (maybe because of, i am still confused about people's attitudes to this stuff which leaves me personally completely cold) it is actually quite a family place for the more adventurous sort of family.
safe, boring, wonderful patong beach!

What the FL scene in the Tai Pan like ? I t was really good when I was over there over a year ago, with nice looking girls and good music and also really cute waitresses (who may or may not be available for hire - I think not).
Cheers.
Toy Boy,
Do you have any accomodations to recommend from your month in Patong?
I was there briefly (3 days) earlier this month, I will put up a report shortly.
Frog in Patong Beach(Phuket).
Well the bar scene around Soi Banghla is getting more and more commercial than it has been 3 years before. The girls prefer to go shorttime (THB 500 - 2000) instead of Longtime/GFE (THB 1000 up). But there are still very kind TG.
There are some places to pick up Freelancers: especially next door to the PS-Hotel (Tai Pan). There are some younger girls and more of them after 1 am when many of the bars close. But the mass is average and the age between 30 and 45 i guess.
Round the corner (Soi Sansabai) you can try to pick up a FL; there are some restaurants/bars open 24 hours. Met a really cute Girl there and i didn't feel unsafe.
Had a bad experience with a bar-girl from Soi Eric; she might have taken some money out of my pouchbag but even police could not help me.
Accomodation: i can recommend PS-Hotel in Patong Beach (but avoid late check out because they might charge you THB 600 up)or Seabreeze-Inn in Karon Beach; both girl/friendly and round about 1000 THB/night for an aircon-room, 2 breakfast included).
I was in Patong Beach in Phuket not long ago, for only a few nights, first visit.
Lots of action. The smaller town puts things on a much more managable scale.
After bars close (2-2:30am) seems like a good time to pick up chicks cheaply, as others have pointed out, but hard to make your selection quickly I found, as the good ones seem to clear out and head home pretty quickly. A number of cute girls were still around, eating at tables around the sidewalk vendors, but I was loathe (that night) to interrupt them to try to select one. LOTS of lady-boys hanging around at that point.
An unusually large number of shims (lady-boys) out each night, or so I thought -- maybe normal for patong. They're usually easy to identify, but I was initially fooled a few times.
I visited one or two go-go bars, but didn't take anybody out.
I did pick up girls from the Tiger Disco, which a tuk-tuk driver recommended. It's the large second-story one on Bangla Rd, across next-door to the kick-boxing place, with the big Tiger's head side entrances. 200 baht (2 drink coupons) to get in unless you get there late, in which case it's 100baht (1 coupon). Good selection of young, pretty girls inside (fewer shims too!), seemed like a mix or pros and semi-pros, some amateurs. Seemed like 1000baht was the standard price here (after bargaining, they would ask for 1500 usually), for short-time, but the girls didn't seem to be in a big hurry once you got them out. I didn't try to get the prices any lower, probably possible later in the night.
One of the girls told me she thought the shark club would reopen in the next few months. I also visited the banana club which didn't have much to offer as far as girls went...
I stayed at the Bamboo Club Resort, recommended a while back in this forum, and was very pleased with the place. Reasonably priced if booked through latestays (nice bungalow suites, though a little more expensive). The only drawback to the place is that it's just outside of the busy part of town, so at night it can be hard to get a ride into town without calling a full sized taxi.
Man, I love thai girls.
Rumpus,
I find that the guest houses in Soi San Sabai (go straight across the traffic lights at the end of Soi Bangla) are ideal. I use the Summer Breeze, run by Lester Smith (http://phuket-summerbreeze.com/), very nice and friendly and safe, though it's not the cheapest. Search for "San Sabai cheap hotel" in Google or Alta Vista and you should get a good list. This time I was in Patong for a month, so I rented a condo at the end of Soi San Sabai. It was beautiful and very cheap, about 1000 Baht/night for a 60 m2, 2-room apartment with full AC and kitchenette. Impresses the hell out of the girls who think I am something above the usual monger and service me accordingly. Never had so many BBBJ's without even asking. Way to go.
jackdaniels,
I spent an hour or two in Tai Pan but didn't sample the goods as I had two very accommodating ladies from the Chi Chi Bar in Soi Eric on my arms. The music was live and loud, too much so for my taste (and for the amps to judge by the level of distortion). I tend to avoid FL's for safety reasons. With 5000 or more bar girls available in PB I can always find something that suits my mood, and knowing that the girl is known makes me feel safer (see the recent discussions on the Pattaya board, maybe I am excessively cautious, (or totally neurotic?) but I travel alone and so try to avoid unnecessary risks).
Toy Boy
Hey there,
Been following this channel for sometimes but just seldom join in, as i'm not really frequent to cheong...
Anyway, i'm going to have a breakaway to Phuket or Koh Samui on 12 Apri for few days. I personally like beaches for skin tanes and also "bitches" for my little brother this time.
So I need some easy cheongers to accompany with....anyone interested ?
By the way, what is the best route to Phutket ? By bus from KL to Hatyai then to Phuket ? or join travel agent with fright ? whatabout i take flight on my own ? any suggestion ?
my little bro is ready man....
6'Nail,
KL-Phuket:
Busing all the way will take about, hmmm, all 24 hours of a day.
After your nightbus trip into HadYai count on another 6(van) to 8(airbus) or even 10 (ordinary bus) hours to get to Phuket.
Fly!
Perhaps fly from Penang?
It's very easy to do on your own. Once in Phuket airport take a B60 van to the hotel of your choice and cheong!
Do keep in mind that Songkhran/'Waterfestival'/ThaiNewYear is in mid-April. I would book well in advance if you want a 'classy' hotel during ThaiNewYear.
PS Flying is your only option if you want to go to Samui. Bus+boat=too long for a short break.
Peace:)
Freeler.....
Two questions:
The 60B is the Thai Airways 'Wherever you go as long as it is Phuket' fare?
I am going there on april 9. Should I book PS Hotel or something on Soi Sunset or Soi San Sabai before arriving (cause of Songkhran)?
Philo,
I've been searching for the <airport van> on the web but can't find it:(. But it should be there! You could choose Phuket town or Patong/Kata/KaronBeaches.
You could email ThaiAirways and ask.
I found a schedule for busses out of Phuket to the towns you asked about in 'OtherAreas', go to bottom of the page:
[url]http://phuket.sawadee.com/transfer.htm[/url]
On Phuket regular bus/songthaew services only run to 5.30pm. After that everything turns taxi. One taxiride on Phuket is about the same price as a day's motorbike rent...
I don't think it's necessary to book in advance. But it could be better for your state of mind - One less worry.
Peace:)
Freeler
I read it somewhere earlier today, but cannot find it either. This though, is a reference:
[url]www.patchwork.ca/siboya/enroute/enroute.htm[/url]
I will try to get the 60 B voucher at the airport (instead of paying 400+ B for taxi/limousine to Patong).
Your adventures off the beaten track are enviable: but as I really am a sissy (hehe) I think I will start Phuket - maybe make a trip to HDY or BKK - and end Phuket. Time will show......
Anywy, thank you for bothering.
ph
I haven't tried the 60 Baht bus, never knew about it.
But just by the exit doors as you leave HKT airport is a stand where you can get the tourist minibus to Patong, Karon and Kata. It is a flat 150 Baht. I took it this time instead of the taxi, and it's fine, just takes a bit longer, but I was still in San Sabai within an hour. And it pisses off the K-K people who have to tour the back streets of Patong Beach dropping the likes of me off. (So there's even on-board entertainment!)
a month in los!!! after arriving in bangkok april 24, around 11:00 pm planning to take bus or taxi to majestic suites. then check out nana night scene, perhaps get a soapy and lt my first night! i like the idea of taking the three hour bus ride to khorat for my first weekend in los, staying at kstars (khorat hotel) a few days exploring issan provinces, then back to bangkok on monday for a flight to phuket, do some snorkeling and mongering for a few days then fly from phuket to ko samui for the weekend, perhaps take a girl with me from phuket, for some some wind surfing, paragliding and go a few days "via" the 1 1/2 hour speed boat ride to ko tao a few days of open water diving. then back to ko samui/phuket and perhaps a flight to pattaya for a few more days of mongering before returning to phuket and possibly exploring krabi. phuket seems like a naturally good departure point/base, for checking out southern thailand. hope i have time to check out the similian islands. though i must say . . . seeing nitty gritty thailand from perspective of seniors members is intriguing, just not quite confident . . . though, think i'll spend my last week exploring northern provinces.
HKT-airport:
Guess it's recommended to take the limousine-service or the Bangkok-Airways-Service or a free transfer from your hotel (e.g. PS) because there was some hussle 2 weeks ago between a guard and a illegal taxi-driver (was shot).
It's saver and cheaper.
Some hotels + the limousine/minibus service have their boots inside but the rest must wait outside the building.
When buying the ticket for the minibus you'll be asked where to go and they send/show you (to) the right bus. I've never heard they serve certain beaches only.
Frog,
Somebody 'on the ground' ought to investigate and send us a full report, dammit!
Taking the taxi from the airport to PhuketTown or Patong is soooo against Freeler's ways: paying more for the taxi than the bus from BKK would cost.... Sends chills down my spine:(
Anybody up for some mongering and morning golf this weekend (4-5 April)?

Hi,
there's a minibus-service from Karon/Patong (Phuket-Town, else?) to the Airport; i don't remember the price (THB 150?) and the duration of the trip. And you have to ask for schedule and stops. The only stop I remember is near PS Hill but at PS Hotel they will give you information on request (I was offered minibus and taxi).
Frog,
The returntrip of the service I meant started at ThaiAirways office on RanongRoad, PhuketTown. Then at B60 and 100% reliable.
It was much like the ThaiBus from Pattaya to BKK-Airport, meaning: quick, safe, cheap, 100% reliable and NO stops at all.
The old Shar Club has or will reopen under the name StarWars, it will have the same owner as Tiger Disco. I have not bin there yet, but it suposed to go under 10-15 million THB resuration.
TpyBoy you were asking for why the Pink Åanther has changed name, the old owner Harald ( the norwegian Biker) as far as I know don't own the place anymore, he got in to trouble with his wife and she striped him for most of his assets ( they was in her name) and he is stucked in Thailand becuse of a "biker-
War" back in Scandinavia between Hell's Angels and Bandidos. Somthing abouth a headquarter that was blow up by a car bomb.
Else I will say that Patong is quieter than usual, specily now lait in the seson.

Sorry, cannot tell you anything about this item.
Hi rabagast,
Thx for the info on Shark plans. Any news on the timing of the reopening? It will be good to get it back open again, stupid for one of the best pieces of real estate in Patong Beach to lie rotting because of some local politics. Do you know who owns Tiger? That must be one well-connected dude if he is getting Shark as well.
Also the story on Pink Panther is interesting. The first time I have heard of a Thai "wife" doing a dirty on the expat "husband". But it has always seemed a real possibility to me, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
I like Patong at this time of year, even into July. The weather can be fresher, some rain, though most of the girls stay around until the rains start properly in August/September. Fewer punters so less hurry to find your bonk for the night. I've never noticed any real effect on the prices though, except for hotel rooms, which mostly become dirt cheap after April.
Cheers,
Toy Boy
Shark alias Star Wars opened. See

philo,
Looks good.
Thanks for the link.
I agree with Frog 3/23 about the Seabreeze Inn at Karon Beach. It is not special, but clean, the airconditioner works well, good water pressure in the shower, cheap and a super friendly staff. In general I much prefer Karon to Patong, being much quiter and cleaner, and only 10 minutes away by tuk-tuk. The bar girls are locals, and some not bad looking. I also tried the Grand Plaza in Phuket Town and Christen in Patong. Would not really recommend either one. The selection was skimpy. The one I chose at Christen turned out to be about 20 years older than she looked in the fish bowel. Not a sexsessful experience.
this is a post from my friend who is currently in phuket, he gave me permission to submit this. i'm arriving in bankok april 24, and will look forward to posting some experiences as well.

well, i never bought panty liners before, but i guess when you have assumed the role of sugardaddy, you're not just in for the penny, you're in for the pound. including the minutes for the cel phone upon which she calls her mother every day, (2 calls, 1st to get someone to go get mom and 2nd to talk to her), and calls to all her buddies to tell them she landed a rich farang who is treating her to an all expenses paid vacation at phuket. i can't understand the language but she laughs and giggles a lot and looks at me when she does it.
let's talk toilets. it appears that there are several kinds here. the regular western toilet, that you can sit on or leave the seat up on, we are all familiar with this one. the first night at our hotel liy climbed up on this one and squatted with both feet on the sides of the bowl, which i thought was a little strange until i saw the toilet at coral island today. it is a porcelain bowl about 12" high with no seat which you squat upon with both feet on the bowl. the bowl has a hole for the waste, but no tank with water to flush. you throw a bowl full of water in the thing to flush it. and then there is what i used to call the "turkish bomb sight" when i lived in turkey. this is a porcelain bowl set flush with the floor with foot pads on either side and again you squat on this thing and hope you hit the hole. hence "bomb sight". for the last two examples there is no toilet paper, just the kitchen sprayer ga! dget. you just drip dry. in the big dept stores there are stalls with modern toilets but the toilet paper is at the door to the restroom, you roll off as much as you think you will need and take it into the stall with you. let's hope you haven't underestimated. so much for toilet talk.
liy and i were traveling on sunday the 13th which is the thai new year. a long trip, about 8 hours on the bus. i highly recommend a bus trip to see the country. but the whole population had gone nuts for the celebration. evidently sprinkling some one with water is good luck, so of course the more water the better. people set up road blocks and have huge vats of water if not hoses to supply as much water as possible to throw on people. they put big vats of water in the back of pickup trucks and drive around having water battles. i suspect our bus trip took an extra hour or two because of the road blocks and the traffic jams. when we got to phuket town we had to get a taxi to patong beach. we were offered an open tuktuk but i said no way, thinking of the a/c. what a smart if unintentional decision. it took over an hour for a normally 20 minute ride, what with the water fights and the road blocks. ! ; we didn't open the windows either. patong beach was crazy, with all the farangs joining in the festivities. we made it safely to the hotel but of course as soon as we exited the cab we were soaked. we stayed in the rest of the night to avoid the craziness. the sonkran festival lasts for 5 days. over 200 were killed the first two days in car/moto accidents. only about 200 people worldwide have died of the sars virus in a month!
today we went to coral island for a snorkel tour. what a disapointment and waste of money and time. the boat over was old and decrepit. i was half expecting it not to make it. the snorkel gear didn't fit properly, liy's life vest was up over her ears. they charged us an extra 100 baht each for flippers. i flippered out to the reef and the coral was dead, few fish, garbage in the water and a 1 1/2 knot current to fight against. i was pissed and flippered back to shore(which was littered with garbage) and complained , demanding my money back for the flippers. a total disappointment. and we had to stick around until 3:00 pm for the ride back to chalong. last time i did this trip it was pretty good, but we snorkeled the other end of the beach which was off limits this time. lunch was good, tho. deep fried fish, fried chicken and three different thai dishes with fresh fruit. our english friends woul! dn't eat the fish because the head was still on it. i didn't tell them that they cook them with the guts still in sometimes too. so think i may schedule a speed boat trip to phi phi island, which i know will be good. we came back to the hotel and headed directly to the pool for a swim. very nice pool. liy has been working on her strokes and is doing well, but she hasn't learned how to breathe yet. so when she runs out of air she stops swimming. she has become a real water sprite.
last night we went out to dinner on the beach rd. filet mignon for $3, t-bone steak for $2.50. thai food for a $1-2. and for dessert you can have "ice scream", no joke.
this is phuket bike week, the town is full of bikers and hd motorcycles. it seems one can't get away from the overly noisy and annoying harleys no matter where you go in th world. i remember taking a hike up baldy and stopping at the viewpoint half way up. you could hear the harleys roaring around town like they were right next to you but they were a mile away. and as long as i am bitching, the first winter i was here i drove over galena pass and stopped at the overlook for the view. as soon as i stepped out of the car i could hear the buzzing of the snow mobiles over 5 miles away and the whole valley was blue with exhaust smoke! arrrgh! now they want to put the atv trail in copper basin so we can have the same conditions there in the summer. double aaaarrrrggh!
tomorrow we have to take care of some housekeeping. liy wants to send some of my/her money to her parents, i have to make arrangements for my flight back to bangkok, arrange for transport for liy back to samui, and extend my home air reservations by a week. i am going to extend my stay by a week or two. no reason to come home right away.
talk to you later.
Here's another post from my buddy in Phuket. Right now, sounds like he's having a bit of rough time!
____________
400+ killed, over 12,000 accidents so far for Sonkran. Mostly drunk driving and 89.9% involving motorbikes.
Tourism down by 30% because of the war in Iraq and the Sars scare. Last time I was here it was the bombing in Bali. I bring bad luck to SEAsia.
I am not feeling well again today. My upset tummy has returned. I always seem to get some minor affliction when I come here. Last visit it was a big sore on my lip which appeared the day after I arrived and took two weeks to heal. A definite impediment to a full and satisfying social life. A pain in the knee when I got to Patong Beach, which still bothers me a little. Then I got the stomach cramps a few days before I left. This time I developed the stomach problem right away, and then I got the prickly heat rash which started on one shoulder and progressed to stomach and then back and left arm. When you have a minor ailment here you go to the pharmacy, describe (or show) your symptoms and they give you some medicine. Only diarrhea, no vomiting? Take this and it will go away in a few days. Rash, does it itch? Rub this ointment on, it will go away in few days. Last time I went to the Dr here (for my swollen knee) I had an exam, a shot for the inflammation and two prescriptions, cost $41. That is the entry fee to the waiting room in the US. Excising the cyst on my back cost $21 including the pain pills. Having my teeth cleaned and repaired cost about $40. Having my fat suctioned (oh, vanity! Thy name is legion.) in BK will cost bout $1200. Such deals.
Yesterday and today are cloudy and relatively cool, mid 80s. We took the moto for a ride over to Kata and Karon beaches, ended up just sightseeing and shopping for clothes and souvenirs. An early HBO evening as I could feel my malaise coming back .
So, off to the pharmacy for some medication.
As told, Star Wars the new disco in Phuket have opened, in the old locality to Shark Club, during the Songkran festival it was packed every night, last night less people. The serviced is good, probably the best sound system in Patong, good light and laser shows, the dance floor have bin reduced since the DJ-Boot have bin moved downstairs to the end of the dance floor, good selection of pro and semi pro freelancers or bargirls (the can often leave their bars at 1 o'clock). I had a good time there, was there with some friends from Europe and they all loved it. It has the same owner as Tiger in Bangla.
Zidaho
what relevance has your post to the hobby ?
That's a good question JD! I almost didn't post it, probably shouldn't have. Future posts about hobby.
jack - some of us (er...I do anyway) like to read something besides "this once is OK and wanted so much...".. the local flavour is helpful in understanding. (my opinion, of course)
Star Wars.
As you are all probably aware 'The Shark Club', infamous for it's customers 'blatant lewd' behavior and resultant closing has re-opened as 'Star Wars'. Perhaps Phuket's most enviable nightlife location, right on the corner of Bangla Rd and Rat-U-Thit Rd it sits just across the street from 'The Hard Rock a-gogo'. this would have to be considered the main drag of Patong nightlife. The foot traffic in this area is greater than anywhere in Patong. I am sure that the flow can only increase making this venue the 'Hottest' spot in town.
I had never visited 'The Shark Club' so I was excited to venture to 'Star Wars' on opening night. In an effort to be thorough I went last night as well. My review reflects atmosphere, attendees, and attitude on two separate saturday nights two weeks apart. Here goes:
The Club
The club itself is expansive. Extremely high ceilings and a big dance floor. The first floor has bars and seating in a horseshoe configuration around the generous dance floor. The DJ booth sits opposite the entrance and the sound system is bangin' [gigantic clusters of huge JBL's hung from the ceiling dangle all about the room]. The upstairs is more of a deck that overlooks the dancefloor and provides a nice view at lovelies and drunken falangs dancing about. Music was almost exclusively Techno with some Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Kylie tossed in, na-na-na, na-na-nanana, na-na-na.... The music is what you would expect as the same 'sounds' seem to be blared at all big clubs throughout the Kingdom. There is lots of seating upstairs and downstairs but get there before 11:30pm if you are in a group that is interested in grabbing a table.
The decor is a bit ridiculous. Just about every fabled movie alien is airbrushed/chalk drawn on the massive walls to include: a Klingon, 'Alien' from the self-titled movie, Yoda, Predator, Jabba the hut, etc. etc. The characters are not limited to Star Wars, in fact some are just made up having never appeared in a big budget flick. The DJ booth is a gigantic mesh flying saucer and allows the DJ's a great view of the crowd while throwing free t-shirts to revelers throughout the night. In front of the booth sit two huge, rather poorly designed, paper mache astronauts. They are clad in space suits and appear to be dancing. Emblazoned on them are the Star Wars logo and the Thai Flag. Yeah, I would really enjoy an inside look at Thailand's Space Program. The Star Wars logo is completely ripped of on all promotional collateral, straight outta the movie. George Lucas must be shitting in his storm trooper outfit.
200 baht admission and a frisk down get you in with two drink coupons. This isn't so bad of a trade off as Singha and Carlsberg are both 100 baht apiece, and any girl entering must pony up 200 baht as well. The result is that right away you are meeting people who already have bought two drinks. The mood seems to be more directed at dancing and having a good time than getting someone to pay for drinks. The 200 baht at the door seems like a bad idea but there were plenty of girls there and no one suggested I buy them a drink, not even once. Drinks are served by thai maidens wearing an 'asbestos-looking-space-suit-mini-skirt' with a high 'spacelike' collar. Perhaps something Mr. Spock might wear if he were a ladyboy. On opening night they sported antennae [I think they are called dealyboppers], but this was thankfully not present on my second visit.
The bathrooms are big and can accommodate quite a few people; however, there were only urinals in the mens room so if you have to take a 'KHRAP' make sure you take it somewhere else.
The People
Since it is a new club the atmosphere of the crowd is much better than what you would find at nearby [same owner] Tiger Club, Banana Disco, Tai Pan, and VIP Asia. Everyone except the Falangs are dressed for the occasion with 'state of the art' Bar Girl Gear. Tight dresses, jeans, platforms, and bear mid-drift are the norm. There were several groups of what we have come to refer to as 'Stunners' decked out and looking very, very hot. There were quite a few 'Hard Rock' gals there with their sponsor for the evening. Dancing away and wondering why they just forked over a 600 baht barfine only to step into Patong's ultimate freelancer destination. The 'Stunners' will be waiting for the pace to pick up at around 12 midnight so I would suggest playing it cool and just doing some window shopping for a while. By 12:00 midnight most of the seating has been claimed but you can find a place to set you drinks while you hit the dance floor, or buy a girl already seated a drink and just 'use' the table as a occasional pitstop. Falangs are sporting the worst of vacation regalia: bootleg Diesel shirts, fanny packs, singha shirts, flip flops, and will begin to outnumber the Thai girls in attendance at about 1:30 - 1:45 am. Last night the club was open and rocking as late as 2:30 when I left. The only sign of a shutdown was as I was walking out the DJ kicked on a love song so, well, you do the math.
There are lots of manager types walking around being Mr. Important and wearing flashy suits. They don't really hassle anyone but from time to time they will walk out look up at a speaker cluster, make some kind of determination, and move on. The door policy is strictly enforced. Thai girls need ID cards and don't try to bring in a knife or anything that can be construed as a weapon. On both occasions I was frisked, metal detected, and had to empty my pockets.
The girls are in all shape and size, nice selection of cuties to drink, dance, or romance with. Most seem to be having a good time. Understand that once you make a selection she will stick with you like glue warding off all other 'opponents'. My suggestion is to go there alone and move around alot, dancing, smiling, whatever, until you are sure that you have found Ms. Right. You won't be disappointed. I reiterate; for the time being Star Wars is Patong's ultimate freelancer destination. There is no reason why a couple on their honeymoon or vacation cannot enjoy Star Wars. The freelance talent here is not pushy or aggressive and several falang couples were seen enjoying themselves on both visits.
Ladyboys are in attendance big time, but are fairly easy to spot and are not a nuisance to me. They want to dance, but everyone seems to be dancing together so no biggie. If you are into ladyboys [I'm not] this club sports a huge selection. Be careful as to the newbie you will have no idea that some of 'Girls' are 'Boys'. The ladyboys of patong are much more refined than their 'brothers' in Bangkok. I have several times saw a girl across the street and crossed intent on meeting her only to realize that she was in fact a guy. Even non-newbies should watch their ass, for lack of a better term.
Should you wait too long or not find a girl relax. This club sits at the apex of the 'after hours Patong freelancer street scene'. Cross the street, go into 7-11, grab a 40 baht Singha and then stand mouth agape as you watch 100-200 'total hotties' ply their trade. I am a big proponent that Patong is best from 2:00 am until 4:30 am. For what it's worth check out the surrounding area of soi San-Sabai. Didi's cafe, SuperStar, and a couple of other joints are open all night long and full of 'shaggables'. Right at the beginning of Soi San Sabai adjacent to Vip Asia sits a Hamburger cart that serves delicious burgers for 50 baht. I recommend it highly. It is way better than hitting the beach road and subsequently getting your ass handed to you by a group of ladyboys.
I am happy Star Wars has opened. It's OK for what it is, a dance club; however, it ads an exciting dynamic to the busiest section of Patong Beach. The increased foot traffic will no doubt be castigated by some but independent food vendors, stray dogs, and after hours sanuk seekers will all benefit. As will the restaurants in the immediate area. I hope that both Tai Pan and VIP Asia can weather the storm as on both of my visits to Star Wars they were empty. I also enjoy these spots and will post more about them in the future.
Go to Star Wars and have some fun, better yet stay there until closing and check out the nightly circus that takes place across the street where you can grab a girl, a singha, and a hamburger for less than the 600 baht barfine at the Hard Rock. [note: I am in no way suggesting the 'Hard Rock' should not be visited, it is always a stop along my way around in Patong].
Hard Rock Update
If you have spent time in the gogo bars in Bangkok, Pattaya, [or hell even the United States] then Phuket's [specifically Patong] gogo scene may be a little disappointing to you. First of all, there are only a handful of venues to watch girls shakin' it up on the catwalk for your viewing slash barfining pleasure. Worse yet is that all but one are comparable to some of Bangkok's worst gogo's.
I did not come here today to bury the pretenders, I am here to praise the one gogo bar in Patong that continually exceeds my expectations. The Hard Rock.
On the corner of Bangla Road and RatUTit Road sits the Hard Rock and it is always pumping after eight. Get there early before 8:30 pm and enjoy a happy hour with 60 baht Singha's, after that they are a little pricey at 110 baht but the place is consistent as hell.
Good service, Great music [anyone who consistently plays RamJam gets big ups - "Whoa Black Betty bambadam...."], and enough talent for the Phuket resident [read: me] to create a long checklist that will gloriously be completed and treasured for life.
There are several girls that actually get barfined regularly before they even change into their gogo uniform. Strolling in the door last saturday I watched one girl get to choose between three punters who had seen her dancing the night before. They were out of luck as last nights customer had already ponied up the hefty 600 baht required to walk out the door with this diminunative bespectacled hell cat. In reality I would say there are at least 5 10's in attendance and the average of the forty or so girls working is upward of 6.5. Note that one or two 'Barturds' can really destroy an average.
I have been in the Hard Rock at least ten times since Dec. 1, no cover, and because it was high season there are enough customers to create an atmosphere where the gals are just not pushing for drinks. As we enter low season this will probably change and this past weekend seemed to prove this as two girls approached me right off the bat and started their 'buy me cola' spiel.
Prices obviously vary when negotiating with a Hard Rock girl, but most seem to have a personality above and beyond the 'I go with you, 2000 baht short time' mentality, Then again some do not. Looks vary from Chinese Thai - to Isaan - to I think she might be from somewhere else.
When visiting make sure to be nice to the doorman as he makes a genuine effort to say hello and welcome you in. Once when I was extremely drunk he arranged for me to be included in a tuk tuk already travelling to Phuket Town for 100 baht. The going rate is usually 250 Baht.
Lots of falangs are spending money like crazy there but you can have an enjoyable time there on a budget, you just might be walking out alone. I start every Patong exploration here. It should not be missed.
ManOnTheStreet
Excellent reports ! Welcome to the board.
It sounds like the freelance talent is better than the Go-Go talent. I had this observation last year when I used to frequent Tai-Pan. Is Star Wars attracting talent at Tai pan's expense or is there plenty to go around ?
Cheers.
I have always been a huge fan of freelance. Tai pan & Vip Asia have really been empty on my last two visits. Tai Pan seems to have a loyal following that will keep them going and it seems like an institution. VIP asia, which was GREAT in dec-feb looks to be hurting. I am living in Phuket and have lurked on this board for a long time. I will continue to check out the scene and update when appropriate.
It's 10:42 pm in Phuket, gotta go find some excitement.
the road to patong
'hey lady, you got the love i need,
maybe more than enough,
ohhh, darlin' - darlin' - darlin'
walk a while with me,
ohhhhhh, you got so much, sooo much, soooo much......
--led zeppelin - 'over the hills and far away'
perhaps one of my favorite songs by my all time favorite band. as a boy growing up in upstate ny i missed out on a chance to see them perform live when john bonham choked on his vomit and died in his sleep. i have seen a great number of primo concerts in my day and the event always seem to trigger a reaction in me where once you have seen the band you have somewhat arrived and can really begin to understand their music in a way that was not possible before. i have felt a great loss in not having completed this understanding of led zeppelin.
funny how life is though. sometimes event[s] can have a way of bringing out new meaning in a song, painting, or poem helping the listener to make a new revelation. how the fuck does this fit into my life in phuket?????
phuket town is not the most dynamic of cities that i have called home. yet two or three times a week i hop on to my 110 cc suzuki cool [it has a clutch, no auto jobby for me] and zip over the back roads to patong beach. compliments to stickman as his weekly article inspired this. this trip is in some ways the best part of my life and i felt it would be good to share a positive aspect of thailand's roadways.
it starts as i leave work around six thirty. i head home to grab a quick bite, check my email, shower, and then head out to my faithful watering hole in phuket town. by nine thirty the song has been playing repeatedly in my head. understand that when i first got my hands on the lp - 'houses of the holy' i used to do the same thing. listen to the same track over, and over, and over. at this point i am ready to make the trip to patong and i am in such a good mood you could slap me and i wouldn't care.
for people unfamiliar with phuket traffic it isn't 1/100th as jammed as bangkok; however, in my opinion it is much more dangerous. there is really no excuse for this, for phuket province has the infrastructure and enforcement to handle the job. the problem is that nobody [including me] follows the 'laws'. red, yellow, flashing yellow lights, etc. etc. are regularly disregarded. helmet, what is that? speed limit is governed by speedometer readout. it's crazy.
my back road journey takes me north up yaoworat rd. until it bottoms out, i hang a left and minutes later i'm zipping by tesco lotus. the next 8 km are unencumbered, potholed, water buffalo lined roadways at high speeds. i pass two traffic lights and i am at the base of my biggest opponent on the island - patong hill.
if you look at patong hill on a map it looks like a scribble. i mean like, triple successive s turns on each side, some banked the wrong way [i knew something was fucked up but didn't realize this until reading stickman's column this week]. imagine heading down a 10% grade into a hairpin turn, that is banked the wrong way. so much for good infrastructure. adding to the mayhem are diesel trucks that regularly spatter oil from their tailpipe, thai teenagers breaking the land speed record, and the eighty five year old thai man on an eighty two year old bike complete with sidecar, family of five, and 3 'out-of-round' wheels. upon reaching the apex of the hill everyone beeps three times in reverence to the buddhist temple, startling the 7 or so stray dogs who are sleeping all over the generous 20 inch shoulder.
downhill towards patong is certainly the most dangerous part of the trip. blind curves, rocks, cars, trucks, buses make me think the safest way down is to get off the hill as fast as possible. upon exciting the hill it is good to keep in mind that every falang you see driving, except me, is pie eyed. fact!!!!!!!!
i backroad it into patong central as well going straight off the hill onto phisit karani road to nanai road to soi sansabai where i am at the center of exactly where i need to be. i park the bike and jump. the music stops. i stand there in a daze for a moment and think about how many things could have just gone wrong over the furious 18 kilometers.
i smile for a second and feel really good.
that is what i love about thailand. this place is magical. i first visited because of the girls. i returned because when i got home something was missing. i finally moved here because, more often than not, i feel good, happy, content......
this place makes me feel like i'm thirteen again, and that friend is priceless.
as i make my move to the rock hard another song starts playing....
'love me one time baby, could not speak,
love me one time baaaaby, yeah my knees got week,
but love me two times, yeah, lasssssts me all through the week,
love me two times i'm goin' awaaaaaay...........'
'love me two times' -- the doors
Just back from Phuket.....
Most have been said before (on this thread and its archive) but here's a little to be added:
Star Wars: Lot of girls (1000 and up). If you are older than 16 you will hate the degenerated (techno?) music.
Daytime: Some girls in the off Bangla sois can be had for 500+200 BF from noon. Freelancers on Bangla: 1000. Christin MP: 1800/2200. Not as bad as said elsewhere on this this thread (but cannot be compared to BKK and CM).
Nighttime: 1000 ST, 1000-1500 LT (+2-300 BF). From 1-2 AM: 500 on the junction area Bangla, Rath-U-Thit and San Sabai.
Still many girls ready for the GFE.
SARS: Only a few masks on airport. Didn't see one in Patong.
Hotel: Plenty of good rooms from 600. Try Sand Inn at 800. Beats PS 1050 and Expat 1090.
GoGo: If you have been to Nana and Cowboy you will find gogo's in Patong - including Rock Hard - quite boring.
Drinks: 60-110. Food: Expensive. Let your teerak take you to thai restaurants in the outskirts.
Tuk-tuk: 100 anywhere in Patong. MC-taxi: 20-40.
That's all... (time to sleep alone for some weeks :()
.....and if you leave Patong you HAVE to bring a girl with you - most of the girls in Karon/Kata looks "I'll rather sleep alone :D"
ManOnTheStreet -- [i]great[/i] stuff! More, please -- you're my new favorite poster!
Philo -- welcome home and I hope we'll see more from you about your trip. I take it by this post you're not in quarantine? :D
ManOnTheStreet,
Near my home is a bridge that banks the wrong way. And every year at first frost the municiple-slow-workers show up (after the first accidents) to put up a sign: Slippery when frosty.
Resurfacing is, of course, out of the question. Imagine them spending property tax on something useful...
You seem to take the same route from Phuket Town to Patong that I always take. My trouble is: I a-l-w-a-y-s get lost on the way back in to PhuketTown. After 15 or so visits I still haven't figured the town's one-way road plan, or 'plan' rather, out.
'But love me two times, YEAH, Lasssssts me all through the week'
That reminds me of my first Phuket visit. I had that sweet taste of pussy on my lips for days. Man, she was g:D:D:D:Dd! That first night the Maitre'd ( or is a female maitre'd a maitresse'd???) of the top floor restaurant at the Sinthavee made a pass at me in the elevator: 'Goos time, fai tousan Baht', she said. I pretended not to understand her Thenglish, knowing that the girl with the best tasting pussy ever would be waiting down the hall on the third floor. B500, all night!
Philo,
OK... But did you get any, dammit:(!

"If you are older than 16 you will hate the degenerated (techno?) music. "
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, HAHAHAHAH!!!!!!
While I can enjoy a little nit at a time i don't realise how much it actually affects me until after I leave.
It's thursday night, I'm staying in, gearing up for a big weekend. My boss informed me that i will have May 1st off, making for a three sanuk week next week.
It has been raining quite a bit the last couple of days. Early rain season so I'm told.
Joe_zop,
We've been wasting our time yet again:
'he not remember what joe_zop and Freeler say. He waterbuffalo.'
:(
See the buffalo, be the buffalo... I withhold judgement until I hear the rest of the story!
During Mar 17-24 I spent great time in Patong Beach. Amongst other things I took a look on the after 2am action in Soi Sansabai. One night I was approached by a good-looking, maybe in the mid-twenties, well-breasted girl. Sorry, but forgot her name. She told me that she would regularly work at Christins and offered me a private body massage with BJ and Fuck in her appartment for 2000 Baht. Unfortunately she did no bargain. From what I know her offer was quite pricey. Furthermore, I was in doubt about my safety if I would follow an unknown girl to an unknown spot. So, in the end I refused her offer.
My question now is whether her offer was a fake or not ? Had anybody of you got such a private body massage ?
Sorry guys, I cannot deliver...... (and if I did, Freeler would kill me :D) I've had the days of my (late) life, but I have broken all the rules of the FFF (or alternatively FF as I recently read: Fuck and Flee).
This includes:
- hook up with the LBFM
- dropping ST and MP after 3 days
- starting to take care of her (what do I pay HER for?; joe_zop - who has a heart - will understand me)
- accepting no boom boom (at all: no ST or MP) when tiirak had period
- let the plane to Hat Yai leave without me because of missing tiirac
- buying gold
- repurchasing the same gold from a pondshop
- letting her (20 yo, no drivers licence: only drive waterbuffalo in Chon Buri) rent a car with my passport: girl crash, falang drunk, Thai police, 4 hours Thai discussions: falang ajarn (respect to mut showing university card) able not pay more than 18000 (started 60'), other driver go buy Mekong, everybody happy (sic)
- thrusting her (not really, but wanting to) even if I got several proofs that she is lying
- looking into TG melting eyes and feel her shivering body (TG flat on top boom-boom-ing me (how do you know what is what is not?)) thinking of love 25 years ago
- calling my job from Karon Beach saying I am sick and have to cancel lectures (in order to stay longer).
I have now called my pension fund: if I stop working now I will get a pension of B 60.000 a month. After two divorces I still have the equvivalence of 4 mill. Baht in the bank. I will stash 3 of them with my brother (who will not give me a Baht but only send my ticket home to the embassy).
I have booked my next ticket primo may (just after exam time) with the intention to go down the drain the GFE way. The firmness, the color, the smile, the feeling of the skin and the 'Khaa' have left me with no other alternatives.
When I am broke and unhappy and should be joining 'Loosers beyond AA' I will go Cambodia .....
Yours humbly (I should be expelled from the board...)
ph
Philo,
'Another one bites the dust':(
PS Don't worry, I'm not the killing kind.
Thanks Freeler.......
You're a good man. Thanks to you I have got my first B 500 fuck (Thai minimum salary for working 10 hours a day is B 170 ... so I now have to admit your pricing policy has a certain realism......)
I am going to - because I want to loose my jai dii and become a bit more realistic (and even cynical) - go there and let this little thing fuck me (in the non sexual way). I also know it probably will not last long before I go back FFF. I just have to see if there is any dream I haven't still pursued......
If I know myself right I will put in a few days in BKK first just to get the needed distance ....
And I havent sent money to her mother yet :D
Umm, wait a moment -- is this true? The same guy who was worried about getting quarantined for SARS and almost called off his trip ends up cancelling the lectures he says he can't afford to miss? Philo, time to take a step back! I certainly understand GFE and the desire to take care of your chosen tilak, but my version of GFE, whether it's in LOS or in real life, doesn't mean being completely taken advantage of by a 20-year-old.
I say there's nothing wrong with being a fool, as long as you manage to be a happy fool, but that doesn't sound like the prescription you've laid out here.
Thankfully, I read a high degree of silliness in your reply, so I suspect you're having fun with us.
Dear joe_zop, I am not......
I have - aged 47 - realised that my 3 tours in 6 months have completely fucked up my ordinary western thinking....
Of course this girl is not important (I tried to call her tonight: no answer > with other falang) - I am just fucking tired of just fucking starfishes....
I am now going to learn Thai, and I want to live with a TG for some time. This girl is perfect - beautiful, lazy, using every towel (sic) and always want to sleep...... After I discovered that she has a boyfriend from Finland (telephone rang in a beauty salon where she had her nails done - hairdresser 'opened telephone' - everything was in english, cannot talk now, call you later.......) she even showed no embarrasment talking 'Love you darling, miss you to mut' to him while in my arms. Phom chawp maak........
I have to loose my romantic view of human nature..... this **** shall be paid good to help me through the experience....
Anyway - I cannot se myself fucking or loving any white cow anymore - it's only my fear that has kept me from leaving a meaningless job teaching greedy MBA-wannabes math and stat.....
I'm fucking quitting - and soon I'll leave this girl too; I am not hooked beyond reason ........ I just cannot anymore imagine a week without a perfectly shaped ass ........
... and I have also learned ex post that my fear of not being able to return was based on fear of loosing face - not on concern for the students ......
ph
Philo,
So you're a math-a-magician.
You should have done your math instead of your philo routine: add up one and one, figure out the odds and what not.
And there is still some more math to be done: How long will 60thou a month + 4 mil really last you in retirement?
Don't forget the occasional accident, a tilak who runs away with 'your' possessions, medical bills and the trips home for funerals, a fine or bribe every now and then. And more.
What are the odds of staying healthy and sound of mind?
I have seen a few too many people who had it all wrong. Some went home just in time. Some more died.
You can practice Thai and learn all about the country by traveling like you planned to do: Phuket, Krabi, HadYai, Nakhon Si Thammarat and back to Phuket.
And have two tilaks a day to get your load away.
And be happy during and ever after.
Come to Thailand and enjoy. (And go home!)
BTW Have you solved the Phuket airport transit mystery for us? Is the B60 van still there?
Hmm, sounds like this should be moved to the "Thai Women" thread, but hey, if you can manage to perfect monger life until you die and be happy with it more power to you. I spent time with a couple of guys in northern Thailand who approach things that way -- knowing and accepting that their companions are only putting up with them for the money and are always angling for something better (these guys were both gay, but the equation's the same.) That's their life, and while they go through fits of melancholy over it at times (and also confess that at times it bothers them to know that they Thais they're keeping house with actually generally disrespect and despise them) they also happily head out on the prowl for the next candidate.
I don't think I could manage it, personally. It's fun for a while, and heaven knows there's a lot that's damned attractive about sleeping with beautiful women who want to help you flush your money down the toilet, but I don't know that I'm interested in completely losing "my romantic view of human nature" since it's taken me a fair while to get a decent balance between that and the completely cynical perspective I'd also had.
I suggest on your next trip you might want to spend some time hanging with some of the ex-pats in the Kingdom to see how being there over time has affected them. There are always some interesting stories there, if nothing else.
freeler....
the b 60 bus i could not find... sorry.
concerning everything else - i don't want to last healthy in body and mind. i think you (that means me) are already emotionally damaged if you fuck girls for money. as i have started to do. on the other hand - i cannot see what western protestant monogameus hard working philosophy (read weber) can add to my (already miserable) life anymore......
if you want to - save your money for yuour grandchildren and book yourself a bed in a home for old people - i have to break out - and i have to do it now.
what made the real differnce was (your, i guess) link to the pattaya paper's articles on the two americans who comitted suicide.......
i want my pain and my joy and my feelings and my fucks before i kill myself or drift into western-style bingo, therapeutic activities, quasi-forced feeding and forced toilet visits .......
Philo,
As long as you see the danger.
Did anyone know ten years ago what he would be doing today? Then how does anyone know where he will be ten or twenty years from now?
Perhaps I've taken up kite flying by the time I'm 65. Or built me a cabin in the north of Sweden. Or moved to California. Or married a Thai katoey.
Who the fuq knows?
Wise words Freeler.....
I shall not stain this thread anymore with my stupidities - I shall implement them .....

If your life runs on rails you should step aside when the train comes :)
Jules Pride
I had two sessions with a girl from Christin two weeks ago. Patong is small, so I met her on the street the day after the second session in the MP. I invited her to dinner but it ended up I was given food in her room. Where? On the top floor on the building adjacent to Christin! Many of the girls live there... and it seemed perfectly safe to me.
If you're willing to pay 2000 in the night, ask her where she lives, and if you don't feel comfortable with it, go by oil/soap/whatever in 7/11 and take her to your hotel ....
Or get her number and meet her during working time at the MP (1800/2200).
Philo
Your post reminded me of a girl in Christens (from a year ago). Her number is 8 and she is very light skinned and is absolutely beautiful. She doesn't like smiling at customers from the fish bowl but she does smile outside it (beautifully!). Anyone know if she still works there ? I had a very enjoyable time with her. One of the best.
She alone is worth the trip out to Phuket. :)
Cheers.
jackdaniels.......
I was treated by another girl, and I (regrettably) cannot remember whether I saw your #8 in the fishbowl.
Patong is cha-cha and I guess you will find her again (the girls I got to know there clearly stated that BKK has no beach, (ergo) they find no reason to leave Patong which they like maak maak (and if I may add: same same me)).
ph
Philo,
Thanks for your info. It was my first trip to Patong and based on the many postings here I thought you could make a real bargain after 2am in Soi Sansabai. So, considering the price of 2000 Baht she wanted for a private body massage with fuck there is no much difference to the regular price quoted at Christins.
But is it your opinion that in private I would have gotten a far better service from her ?
...... that I wouldn't know (but I myself now find greater pleasure in relating to one girl in a somewhat LT and private GF-like way)
Philo,
Welcome back to Phuket:D!
I was in Phuket, Thailand, in February 2003.
I'd read about Christin massage on WSG. It's also advertised on the tourist maps for Patong. It's very easy to find on a wide well-lit main road, a big building with a neon sign on the front.
You go up stairs to the first floor to a bar where you get a drink and study the girls sitting in the fishbowl. There were 40-50 behind a glass wall, all good lookers in the range of 18-30 years old. I told the manager I fancied number 7; he took me to the booth to pay 1800 bahts and the girl came out and took me to the lift upstairs.
There was a whole corridor of big rooms, just like a quality hotel. We went into one and she told me to sit on the sofa, while she turned on the water to fill a big bath. She stripped off naked and came and sat on my knee. She told me she was 23 and came from Bangkok.
Once the bath was full she motioned me to take all my clothes off and get into the bath where she sat behind me with a big sponge, washing me carefully and sensually all over with particular attention to my vital parts.
Then she laid a plastic inflatable mattress on the tiled floor and I lay face down. She covered me with foam and then started the soapy massage. Not with her hands but first with her breasts, lying on my back and after a bit sat astride me and used her crutch. After some minutes of this delightful treatment I could not help turning over and she gave me the best-ever hand job: I nearly burst!
After a rinse down we got onto the bed and she rang for a beer for me and a soft drink for her. She turned on the TV and we watched Thai boxing for a bit till I began to regain my strength. She slipped a condom just onto me and then used her mouth to push it fully into position and kept going. Once I was good and hard I turned her round and screwed her doggy fashion, another enormous cum.
She took me back to the bath area and washed us both down.
I gave her 300 baht tip which seemed to make her happy.
There is a soapy massge in Phuket Town, so a couple of days later I decided to go there and got into a taxi. The driver said it was more expensive than Christin's and the girls were not as good so I went back there.
This time the girl said she was 20 and from Chiang Mai in the north. Not quite as good a sex machine as the first visit but definitely a treat!
sanuk in phuket town
i miss my beloved bangkok but am determined to enjoy myself in phuket. at first i really hated it here but in the last couple of months i have come to enjoy myself. it certainly is the 'easy' life down here in phuket.
phuket town is neither dynamic, nor is it anything like, patong, a '*****house' of a 'village' located 18 km west. don't get me wrong i have come to love patong but living and working in phuket town means i spend most of my time there.
while there exists a small backpacker contingent forever 'passing through' to phi phi most of the tourists staying here are budgeted visitors, families, couples, guys who make runs to patong occasionally, and people like me who work here. there is always a demand for native english speakers at the schools, and the phuket gazette seems to always have a few 'falang' job options advertised. they are building things at an astonishing rate in phuket town, everywhere you look there is some type of construction going on.
things are about as expensive in phuket town as they are in bangkok. an apartment in phuket town will set you back anywhere from 3000 baht to 12,000 baht. with a wide range of amenities offered in falang and thai areas. while street food doesn't compare in quantity to bangkok there are many restaurant settings where 30-40 baht goes a long way. phuket town is not by any means large but it's one way street set up and lack of a tall building for orientation make it kind of a maze. when i first got here i would ride around in circles with no idea how to get home. the nightlife starts late in phuket town. a bar that is not crowded at 10:00 pm could be packed at 10:45pm. although here is no 'girl bar' or 'gogo' scene like in bangkok or patong there does exist some really wacked out places to find girls. my drink of choice is singha so i only quote it's specific price. these are not the only venues but a good start to locating what you need every now and then......
brothels
the siam hotel
the siam hotel is kind of an 'underground' brothel. show up there and find a bunch of sad and lonely girls sitting around the hallways in plastic chairs. the doors to nearby hotel rooms are open inviting you to partake, but the girls don't seem to be excited about the prospect. a high pressure tout will soon be on top of you trying to force you to get on top of one of them, 300-1000 baht depending on your 'newbie' factor.
personally i cannot have sex with a girl that doesn't want to talk, smile, or generally be in a good mood. i have visited there a couple of times but only for the curiosity factor. generally i am not a 'brothel guy'. there are so many different types of 'girl' venues it seems a shame not to experience all of them. perhaps i will return and write up a report.
siam hotel 13/15 phuket rd., a.muang [076] 224543 28 rooms 150-200 baht/night
thanon poonpon soi 11
known to everyone as 'soi sipet' are eight of the grungiest brothels known to mankind. the asshole who dubbed phuket 'the pearl of the andamen' obviously never visited soi sipet. soi sipet sits kitty-corner from the 7-11 on thanon poonpon and extends all the way to thanon takua pa. it quite fittingly bottoms out right near a catholic church. not far at all from fever corner [but more on that later].
it took me a month and a half to find this place. i hate being 'taken to' or 'shown' a place. i like to hear about it and go it alone. that way i don't inherit anyone's reputation and price range. once i found the place i had to kind of laugh as it was right under my nose the whole time.
the accommodations are reminiscent of what you find in mae sai [north thailand], koh kong [cambodia], and even phnom penh [cambodia, km11]. the girls there make the siam hotel crew look a great deal more appealing. once again i don't really enjoy 'brothel-shagging' so admittedly my opinion is just that, a somewhat negative opinion. the touts here are more aggressive coming out on to the soi and actually trying to stop you on your motorbike. the going rate is 200-500 baht per hour depending on your newbie status and pigeon thai abilities. each brothel has anywhere from 4-15 girls working at a time. the first time i was there i thought it was a bus station as i looked in and saw 15 girls in a neat row of plastic chairs all sitting and staring blankly at a tv. make sure you bring a condom as just about every brothel in thailand uses those 'itty-bitty silver foil with purple thai script' packaged condoms [read: breakable condoms]. in fact park the motorbike at 7-11 grab a singha, some rubbers and walk down soi sipet. should you leave the bike outside the brothel i am not to sure that it will be there when you get back.
you are paying by the hour so be aware if your 'date' takes fifteen minutes in the shower you have only 45 minutes of bang time.
one great thing about soi sipet is that everyone knows it as 'soi sipet' and they know exactly what goes on there. whenever i am in conversation with 'non-bargirl' thais and they ask me where i live i reply "soi sipet" as deadpan as possible. it always prompts an odd hesitation that lingers until i crack a smile. ummm, perhaps i will return and write up a report.
thanon poonpon soi 11 is located across the street from the 7-11 on thanon poonpon.
pink lady
there are five pink lady venues in phuket town. while some are connected some operate under the same name and are not affiliated. hard to classify these as anything but a 'gentleman's club'.
okay, you walk into a pink lady and see a house band performing in a 'loungy' environment. empty couches litter the floor and provide you with a good look at 50 or so girls behind a bar, wearing what can only be described as prom gowns. singha beer varies in price throughout the pink lady's going for 150 baht to a whopping 375 baht. yes no misprint there 375 baht for a 12 oz. bottle of singha.
the most expensive of the pink lady's is below the metropole hotel, pink lady chamois. after finding out that it was 375 baht for a singha i beat it out of there quickly. pink lady cafe 2002 is located on thanon phang nga just east of it's intersection with thanon montri. they have two bays of girls and at least 75 working every night. prices there are 2800 baht for short time [2 hours] and includes room accommodations at either the metropole hotel or tavorn grand plaza. it isn't hard to figure out that these clubs service the wealthy thais, chinese, and japanese who happen through. i won't be making an effort to visit again for 2800 baht short time just isn't my cup of tea.
it makes me a little uncomfortable to sit there gawking at the girls knowing that there is no way i am going to be 'doing the business'. should you want to visit a pink lady go to the pink lady club located in the soi right next to o'malleys irish pub. there is separate downstairs lounge where you can check out a really sexy lounge singer. should you want to check out the girls head on upstairs. while this isn't really a 'brothel' it isn't a message parlor so i included it in this section.
bars/clubs
phuket town is loaded with bars that seem to be always on the brink of going out of business. one thing is for sure. whoever figures out nightlife here is going to make a buck. people are still flocking to the island, and construction of new buildings continues at a dizzying rate.
phuket town has a well defined upper / middle / lower class. there are a good number of young men and women whose parents can afford to send them to university, own businesses, or own land. in other words the majority of the young ladies walking around phuket town are not working girls. this really isn't odd coming from falang-ville, it is the norm. what you may find odd is that 'punter's mentality' really needs to be adjusted when trying to hook up in phuket town clubs. i usually operate on the assumption that 'she is not a prostitute'. rest assured that if you take a girl from a club she will immediately consider herself your girlfriend and an inseparable aspect of your holiday/life. being specific about your intentions up front can save you a major hassle. while a good portion of the clubs/bars here 'totally suck' a few are busy and provide above average freelance options:
jammin'
perhaps the busiest nightspot in town, jammin' caters to people just in for the week, local thais looking to show status with a bottle of johnny black, and expats. a live dj spins trendy techno and hip hop between sets where 'the jammin band' is featured. the band does a good job. the bass player and drummer are quite skilled; however, they only have about twenty five songs in their repertoire and it is way too loud. some of their songs are to my liking, some are boy band crap. basically if you go their 3 nights in a row the songs begin to overlap. they even do vanilla ice.
yet another disappointment is that they shit-canned their 'super' hot lead singer, archie. i was especially sorry to see her go as she made things bearable. the new singer is great at what she does but not nearly as hot.
jammin' is pricey for phuket town with 90 baht singhas. it is always crowded. if you are going get there before 10:30 and find a seat at the bar. by 12:00 midnight there will be 10-12 lovelies lining the area just in front of the barstools. they will be shaking it and flashing smiles, sticking together in small packs, and will make themselves available to the right man.
there are some great talent here occasionally but it seems to be a real pain in the ass to hook up with the 'circus of jammin' all around you. should you get there late don't make the mistake of going upstairs just dig in and find a spot at the bar downstairs. i usually go there once a month because 'hey, i haven't been to jammin' in a while'. i usually sit there for a drink or two and smile at girls with no intention of hooking up. i figure that if i play my cards right i am bound to bump into one of these girls outside the place sometime, where one can actually have a conversation, and i'm right. phuket town is a small town.
go to jammin', which by the way is festooned with [my hero] bob marley regalia [but don't expect to hear any bob] and by all means have a good time. freelancers can be acquired with rates varying from 500 - 1000 baht short time to 1000-2000 baht longtime. there are definitely freelancers working jammin' every night. if you are here for one night and need a quality girl, jammin' is the spot. it is a great place for one or two visits when 'stuck' in phuket town.
jammin' is located on thanon bangkok near where it dead ends on thanon east cho fa
timber hut
same as jammin' except worse band. sometimes they have an falang who sings. he is without a doubt the worst performer i have ever seen. additionally the food sucks. same deal freelance talent available but interspersed throughout a large contingent of falangs and thais. note that at both jammin' and timber hut the thai cutie who is beaming at you could be right next to her rowdy, drunk boyfriend. it is always good to make sure before you make a move in phuket town. i try to avoid timber hut as often as possible.
timber hut is located on thanon yaowarat just north of thanon dibuk [or where it turns into a one way street].
kor tor mor
the odd dynamic that exists in phuket town for horny punters is more in evidence in kor tor mor than anywhere else. there are very few falangs hanging out at kor tor mor. i am usually the only one. upon walking in you will be scrutinized and / or studied carefully.
my suggestion is to be on your best behavior. smile a lot and don't be too aggressive staring down any ladies. the crowd here arrives on motorbike, bmw, mercedes benz, and honda mpv's. they drink bottles of expensive whisky and dance and sing along to thai music played on an acoustic guitar with an accompanying drummer. the guy singing and playing the guitar is awesome and worth going to see. between sets they play a mix of reggae, hip hop, and techno/house. the band quits at about twelve midnight and at that time the place is packed and the dj takes over.
lots of girls dancing with their boyfriends and single girls dancing in gaggles. you really have to make sure you are dealing with a single girl here if you don't want to be perceived as a total shithead, and get into a nasty situation. these are not working girls, but some are more than intrigued in a well dressed, well mannered falang. it isn't too hard to spot.
if you offend someone at kor tor mor their will be a definite unified reaction. i find this a little refreshing as i learned a long time ago to never assume that the girl smiling at me is a prostitute. the bar has a great interior, all cement, good music, good food, and 60 baht singhas make it worth multiple visits. by the way kor tor mor means bangkok.
kor tor mor is located on chana charoen rd. just east of the mcdonald's / robinson's area.
michael's bar
michael's bar is a tiny little spot with an older clientele. they have the most forgiving pool table in the world and there are usually 2 or 3 cuties working behind the bar. this is not a bar you want to visit if you are intent on barfining. there are no beer bars in phuket town. if you want to relax, have a few beers, and chit chat with a hottie then this is a good place.
while the girls do not outwardly solicit, should you prove yourself to be an ok person you can get lucky here. if you shag one of these girls you will be assuming the role of boyfriend as soon as you make penetration. the girls working at michael's come from all over thailand: mae sai, chang mai, korat, etc. but they seem to have a revolving door employment policy as most of the girls don't last.
it's not that busy of a place but it is located just below the on on hotel so it does get some traffic. an indian restaurant is opening up right next door. 50 baht bottled beer happy hour is in effect everyday. michael, an amiable chap, can be found at the bar sipping a gin and tonic
michael's bar is located on thanon takua pa where it intersects with thanon rasada.
bar tango
tucked away on soi phat thana sits bar tango, a brand new bar, complete with sparkling glassware, outside bar, inside bar, 3 owners, and a severe lack of customers. anywhere from 4-5 girls are working there at any given time. some are 'working' while others are just working. after a couple of visits it will be obvious. one is really, really sexy.
bar tango shares it's customer base with michael's so if you are 'seeing' a girl from michael's and you 'stray' with a girl from bar tango it will become public information quickly. these bars fill up on the 15th and 30th of every month when social security / government pension checks are received. i have only been to bar tango twice but i am always welcomed by the owner, peter. the main problem with this bar is that it is hard to find.
take thanon ranong toward patong beach and take the first left after crossing thanon patipat. look for a huge neon sign. you can't miss it......hahahahaha....good luck.
o'malley's irish pub
located on thanon montri o'malleys was the first bar i visited in phuket town. manager brett is also the house band leader and he is accompanied by chris on the fiddle, tor on drums, and derrick on bass. brett and chris are really talented and love jamming with anyone who shows up with an instrument. so bring your guitar, harmonica, sax, whatever.
the rest of the staff include ally, a voluptuous blond from oz, em, and the oh so lovely 'nok' and sister 'wrin'. bar owner 'fred' is swedish. he has lived on the island for over six years and read, writes, and speaks thai fluently, also works as a dive master, and is a great person to know. most of the underground info i have came across early in my stay on phuket was gleaned from fred.
o'malley's serves food and has competitive beer prices [70 baht singha's], happy hours daily, and free pool. the pool table at o'malleys should not be missed. it is without a doubt the worst pool playing environment ever!!! it lends charm to the bar as everyone has to be involved in the game. bad cues, small untrue balls, and a huge, huge table.
should you be taking a tuk-tuk to o'malleys just say 'irish pub'. clientele varies from teachers, hardcore sexpats, and tourists. some nights there are 8 or 9 freelancers in attendance while other nights there are none. note: anything can and will happen at o'malley's.
o'malley's irish pub is located on thanon montri just north of thanon dibuk.
karaoke
there are two types of karaoke spots in phuket town. 'high brow' and 'low brow'.
'high brow'
big neon signs, gaggles of leggy thai hotties standing outside sporting sequined minis, and white platform boots. four in a row on each side of the thanon poonpon soi 9. there are several others such as 'pegasus' on the southside of the circle at poonpon plaza.
it's kind of simple. you go in and buy a drink and watch some real hot and not so hot thai girls sing the classics. invite one to sit with you and share your large inexpensive singha [90 baht]. she might let you put your arm around her, she might snuggle right up to you, and then again she might not. when it his her turn to sing she will depart for a couple of numbers. the dek serve will approach and ask if you want to buy her flowers. they come in 100, 200, 300, and 500 baht bundles. this is how she makes money, she gets the majority of the flower purchase.
there are major face issues at hand here as if you do not buy her flowers it will result in a loss of face for her, and you will be sitting alone for the remainder of your time in the karaoke house. should you buy her flowers it does not guarantee that she is going home with you. should she ask you where you are going later 'pai nai? it is a good indicator that she knows the deal.
james cafe on soi 9 is the top notch karaoke destination in my opinion. i like listening to the thai classics every now and then and i have found that most thai girls sing pretty well. there is a nice beer garden connected to james cafe that serves tasty food and is lively. most of the karaoke spots are almost empty which makes me wonder how they stay in business. there are few if any falangs inside so your visit will be greeted with quite a bit of stares and curiosity. visiting the high brow karaoke establishments can be a little more expensive than the bars and clubs so keep an eye on your bill.
james cafe is located on thanon poonpon soi 9. it runs between thanon poonpon and thanon takua pa.
'low brow'
small ramshackle buildings adorned with christmas lights complete with a tv, microphone, and karaoke jukebox. cheap beer, homemade tables, and cute girls. places like this dot the thai only areas near koh siray island on the east most part of phuket. technically you are leaving phuket town to visit these venues. there are also a couple places in phuket town proper, but i tend to enjoy the non-falang approved places.
this is not the place to be drunk, wear a nice watch, or pull a wad of 1000 baht notes out of your pocket. i love the dive bars in neighborhoods of my native nyc so i visit these places regularly. your visit will be a major curiosity and in some cases it can really rub the thai men in attendance the wrong way. i don't recommend trips to these places unless you either speak thai, or can handle yourself. you can find a really sexy girl at one of these places and there is no flower buying, barfining, or negotiating 500 baht will cover longtime and grant you a big smile. just watch your ass. these places exist all over thailand so there is no real need to go in depth.
sapan hin
south of phuket town is sapan hin. home to thai boxing every friday, a concert hall, and a carnival type atmosphere with a ferris wheel, games, bumper cars, food vendors, and the closest thing phuket town has to a diddle bars. i don't know the names as they are all in thai script but i have visited each. it's basically buy a girl a drink and you can sit and 'play'. there are at least three venues like this but let me be very clear about something: falangs are at great risk at sapan hin from 12:00 midnight to 6:00 am. [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] some one off, get a shank in the kidney. pull up on a brand new honda dream, get a shank in the kidney, pull out a wad of 1000 baht notes, get a shank in the kidney.
i go to sapan hin quite a bit. food is really cheap and delicious. i find that as i get to know thai's and see them at sapan hin they appreciate the fact that i am not scared to be there. a lot of thai families go there to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. it's not all bad but my mom used to say 'nothing good happens after 12 midnight!!!!" concerning this place she is spot on. the bars can be really dangerous as can just being in the general area. the gangs that populate sapan hin are hardcore and they do not discriminate in who they try to muscle. don't go alone and don't get too drunk and allow yourself to be taken advantage of. with that said, enjoy!
find thanon phuket and head south. you know you are at sapan hin when someone pushes you off your motorcycle and takes off on it.
massage parlors
there are plenty but they are pricey unless accompanied by a thai. go in as a lone falang and you are quoted anywhere from 1500 - 2300 baht for full service. enter with a thai and you get the same thing for 500 baht. these are the same fishbowl type place that are so popular in bangkok. the tavorn grand plaza, metropole hotel, pearl hotel are just a few. they actually do provide good service but selection is not that great. i would recommend a trip to patong's christie's massage over the aforementioned phuket town equivalents, but why go there when 2300 baht can buy five short times in patong beach after 2:00 am.
after hours
fever corner
fever corner is a 'suped-up' beer garden that is dead until 2:30 pm and packed from 3:00 pm until sun up. the setting is more suited to a group as there is no real bar area for a 'lone' falang to sit. taking up a table by yourself will really make you stick out. lots of girls here, in fact every girl in town. don't make the mistake of ordering food for when it is busy as it will take much longer than the longest wait at bangkok's grace hotel. working girls sometimes hang out in the parking lot after 2:00pm and wait for targets to arrive when the bars close. fever corner is not the place to be shy. find a couple of girls sitting together and ask them if you can sit down. buy two large singha's to share and scope the scene. if you should find a girl beaming back at you and she isn't at your table just make your way to the bathroom, if she follows make plans or exchange mobile numbers short time 500 baht, long time 1000 baht. don't bother going there before 1:00am. south of fever corner are three different beer gardens. should a girl you meet take you there she is hiding from another falang lover. 90 baht large singha's
fever corner is located below the intersection of soi talingchan and thanon takua pa.
gaiton
gaiton is the resident dive discoteque that plays annoying thai techno at uncomfortable levels. they stay open until the police arrive and everyone scrambles out. there is never a problem but it is a rather sudden event. gaiton caters to young and not so affluent thais and is fun every once in a while. you really need to be careful at gaiton as their are definitely **** girls dancing away to music only a sixteen year old could appreciate. this stops me from taking girls that i have not met before. young drunken thai men are not dangerous at gaiton but they are overly gregarious in their 'repeated' 'chok dii khraps'. if you are over the age of twenty eight you will find gaiton to be a hoot, but you may not return. 60 baht ice cold singha's.
gaiton is located below the intersection of soi talingchan and thanon takua pa opposite fever corner.
sinthawee hotel
the sinthawee hotel runs an after hours that caters to a more mature, affluent crowd. i enjoy the ambiance that separates it from a place like gaiton. one bad aspect is that there are not a lot of single 'available' girls here. sometimes there are 5 or six sometimes there none. hard to predict. when there are girls there they run a little pricey compared to some of the bars i have mentioned. this is yet another venue where you can really make an ass out of yourself and ruin someone's night by assuming. one night i saw a drunken punter approach a table babble something in thai and get ejected violently down the stairs. this is a great place to bring a girl. i enjoy going there for a late night 90 baht singha wind down.
short time accommodations
suk sa bai hotel - thanon thepkrasattri rd. #076-216208
the suk sa bai is no doubt the best deal in town for the budget traveller. at 180 baht per night [negotiable] you get a fan room, private bathroom & shower, sit down toilet, secure parking for your rented motorbike, and a location that is within walking distance to several restaurants and nightspots. no phone, hot water, or tv. this is a shortime hotel. yes don't be surprised if at 2:00 am there is alot of traffic, johns with their prostitutes, going in and out, no pun intended. i happened on this hotel by mistake and can say it's clean, safe, and quiet. the people their are friendly and no one ripped off my camera, passport, and g4 powerbook which i cavalierly laid out in the open. what more can you ask for 180 baht in phuket. you can negotiate the price down for long stays [3000 baht per month]. ask for a room on the second floor as most overnight guests [read: non-shortime] will be there and it is much quieter. if your travels leave your budget constrained this is definitely the place don't even look anymore. no real backpacker crowd here.
suk sa bai hotel - thanon thepkrasattri rd. #076-216208
deluxe accommodation can be had in phuket town but since i don't stay in them i cannot comment. before you leave the bangkok airport, queue up to one of those tourist stands and get your info there, but first pull down your pants and insist they wear a rubber.
bkk - phuket
now that i regularly fly from bkk's don muang to phuket and back i have figured out some key info that i wish to donate to the braintrust i refer to as '*************.com'.
thai air flights to phuket leave from gates in the domestic section of don muang numbered 8, 9, and 10. they also depart from 19, 20, and 21. should you depart or arrive from the downstairs gates [8, 9, 10] you get the crapper of having to climb aboard a 'shuttle' bus to and from the plane.
this is a big pain in the ass and takes way more time than pulling up to 19, 20, and 21. basically if you are flying in or out of the domestic section of don muang and you have a gate on the ground floor you are bussing it dude! the tickets are the same price. all you have to do is try to find out the gate number and then purchase your ticket. it has worked for me twice [once with both bangkok airways and thai air].
enjoy phuket town on your next visit
I'm new to the forum and I'm off to Phuket for a few days and I wondered if anyone knows if any of the following hotels are girl friendly:
Patong Lodge Hotel / Patong City Hotel
Phuket Grand Tropicana
Patong Resort
Club Andaman
Thanks for your help guys
ManOnTheStreet
Awesome post.
Truly, truly awesome.

ManOnTheStreet -- fabulous info! One of the best posts ever on this forum. Many thanks.
ManOnTheStreet,
Dammit, my upcoming TourOfDuty in the HolyLand is only a six weeks tour:(.
Certain things you describe are so spot on it's uncanny.
Like the driving around in circles, the scores of brothels right under your nose.
Pink Lady, though it sometimes seems there are more Pink Laddies at some:).
I will get out a Phuket map later and start marking X's, hell the only streetname I know is RanongRoad, gives me something to do...
many thanks!!!
I will be reporting on some of the other 'havens' about phuket in the near future. I must admit I do enjoy my research.
Until next time Gentlemen, as it is 8:50 pm in Phuket and I have to jet on over to the rock hard.....
peace
I was not at all exaggerating about the dangers of some of the areas in Phuket Town. I thought I should stress this after re-reading my post and chuckling through the directions to sapan hin. It's not the most dangerous place in the world, but the fool is taken advantage in Phuket as soon as he reveals his foolishness.
I'm going to Patong!!!!!
Manonthestreet,
'but the fool is taken advantage in Phuket as soon as he reveals his foolishness.'
So, anyone who ever took a taxi from PhuketTown to Patong 'because there is no bus' qualifies:).
Um, to my knowledge there is no bus. The tuk-tuk, taxi, minivan consortium has it locked down, completely.
Without a doubt private transportation in Phuket is more corrupt than anywhere in thailand. If you get off a plane at the airport just realize you are about to get fucked. Regardless of where you are going you are paying the same price.
The smart punter starts asking around on day one. Forms a relationship with transport people, uses the same guy[s], and gets the break upon leaving. The alternative is renting a motorbike [read: deathmachine] and going for it on your own.
note: I ride a motorbike everyday, but it's not a rental unit [read: deathmachine mak mak].
You can't help but get fucked to and fro the airport. Using the same guy [s] repeadedly will lessen the blow.
but enjoy it's only 10 bucks. You will get the hottest cinnamon girl you have ever seen for the same price.
PS- I just enjoyed Patong to the fullest!!!!
chok dee
I misread dude, I was talking airport.
There is a santheaw service from 9 to 5, but it takes an hour to get anywhere. Better to locate yourself near where you need to be, or have the balls to sack up and get a motorbike.
sorry about the multiple posts, I'm drunk and returning from PATONG!!!!!
what an excellent place. I feel like I'm 13 everyday
Manonthestreet,
I 'always' rent my Honda Dreammachine from an 'artgallery' on RasadaRoad. The brakes, lights and horn always work. The last couple of years the tank is always half full. Before then you had to find a filling station within 3 mins or walk!
Price, depending on the season, from B100-150 a day for two or three days.
Yes, indeed it appears that the B60 airport minivans have gone extinct.
An ancient Freeler post on PhuketTown taxidrivers:
<<By Freeler on Thursday, May 16, 2002 - 10:59 pm:
Phuket-town seems to have the worst kind of taxicreeps anywhere. Everything they say is a lie:
There are NO buses to Patong from P-town--in fact they run every half hour in the daytime,
there is NO market in P-town---In fact one is open almost 24 hours a day!!,
all the hotels in P-town are full or too expensive--in fact there are plenty rooms available and the top-end Sinthavee has a discount now at US$12 for a standard room.
This list could easily be ten times this long; please, help make this world a better place and dont give these assholes any business at all, thank you!
Oh, I was offered a B20 an hour taxitour of the island. Do I have to say I didnt bother? >>
ManOnTheStreet,
"[url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] some one off, get a shank in the kidney. Pull up on a brand new honda dream, get a shank in the kidney, pull out a wad of 1000 baht notes, get a shank in the kidney." LOL. So true... Excellent report....keep adding any additional info. Watch your kidneys!
Man On The Street bravo! great post. Hope to match it when I am there and buy you a beer.

Thank you very much ........ but I must admit that I am a bit confused. Please inform me, good man Freeler.
The Ladyboy Experience (sic)
I've read a a lot of warnings - and I thought I was aware: maybe I am not fit for this game ......
After having a major fight with my (now ex-) GF I shared a bottle of gin with a sad and lonely dutchman (same as me except from the dutch-thing). When he fell asleep I went Soi San Sabai to look for a 500'er.
I was pissed, angry and lonely - and since I have always been fascinated by ladyboys, it ended up me inviting 5 ladyboys for dinner (3 AM). They took me to a restaurant open all night. Had a great time......
Woke up 7 AM. No cash (10000). No VISA (emptied for 50000). No passport. Wonder what they put in my beer.
And after a lot of hassle with the bank, the embassy and the Immigration Office (in BKK) I fucking was fined 500 for putting my cigarette in the pavement sewer.
I must admit that I envy MOTS a little bit for his poetic nonchalance, and I am a little bit sorry that I cannot ever make it in Phuket Town. I cannot risk being killed ........
But I don't give up.
Ouch, Philo, that's taking the glorious romantic journey down the drain a bit too far! I'd presume you will probably be covered on the Visa, since it was stolen, and while the passport is definitely a major hassle, if you can get out of a disaster like that only down 12000baht or so that's a reasonably good result, considering you could have ended up not waking up at all. Gotta be careful of ladyboys, most especially in packs -- they're not something we discuss here much for obvious reasons, but I've been told by different folks in several areas of LOS that there are a fair number of ladyboys connected with Thai organized crime, being major players in some areas, such as the drug trade in the north.
Just goes to show how dangerous it can be to go embark on such an adventure when drunk. How about posting the details of the aftermath, with the bank, embassy, etc., so guys here who haven't gone though it will have a sense of what's involved?
Glad you're okay.
I will, joe_zop, tomorrow ....
And thanks for your concern.

I am happy to see that you have changed from 'Hard Rock' to 'Rock Hard'. May I tell you - apart from this your post is breathtaking - that the MP is called 'Christin'.
Philo,
I truly appreciate the scrutiny. I will endeavor to be more accurate in future posts.
Sorry to hear about the trouble. As you stated at least you were unharmed, and I might add a lesser punter miy not have had the where-with-all to bounce back.
Nothing quite like Patong - Soi san sabai after 2 am, huh? For anyone who has not witnessed this phenomenom you really don't know what you are missing. I will cover it in an upcoming post for sure.

i have to admit that when the developers sunk their teeth into the area surrounding karon they really treated the beach front property correctly. their is only one hotel on karon beach and it is 'nestled' in the southern corner [karon beach resort] leaving unobstructed beach access for all. the beach is long with perfect white sand, clean water, and the obligatory 'small' island just far enough away to invite a swim. when they turned their attention to the town they totally fucked everything up, really bad. a piecemeal of huge resorts, shantys, and shopfronts. so badly put together that the only thing i can compare it too is a novice webbuilders first crack at his 'free geocities hosted' site. complete with 35 blinking under construction signs. i hear a lot of people saying that phuket is already overbuilt and too crowded, looks like no one told the builders as they are breaking ground all over.
karon is adjacent to phuket. it is a small sleepy little beach town that would really kick ass if it weren't for the massive resorts that seclude their guests while making a big shitshow to the passerby. most in my opinion do not rate 5, 4, or even 3 stars, yet they attract visitors to the beach, the town, and to the girl bar scene. it seems there are only girl bars in karon, no go-go's, discos, or any other type of bar, for sanuk anyway.
my review covers what i have come to know as karon. an area small in size beginning at the traffic circle intersection of patak rd. east and patak rd. west [karon beach road] adjacent to the patong area and extending south to their bi-section of thai na rd and kata beach. an area not much bigger than 6 sq km. i base the area as karon simply by where the hotel names switch from 'karon beach' to 'kata beach'. this may not be the most accurate of boundaries so don't hold me to it. if one was to round up all of the girls working in karon and magically beam them to the grace hotel on a busy night it wouldn't really make a big impact in sheer numbers.
i have visited the karon nightlife scene a half a dozen times in high season and 3 times more recently in super-low-sars-season. i have to say that while it is incomparable to it's neighbor in patong, it can be fun. they are not the aggressive 'pull you into the bar' types, but rather out of the 'off the rice farm' last week 'i'm shy' mold. i took the time to speak to a good number of ladies in length, with no intention of barfining. most were bored and happy to have a falang at the bar. thats right 'a falang', as in one, at karon center, the flagship of 'bar girl activity in karon beach. while 9/11 sucked for tourism and the bali blast hit close to home, sars is crippling a good deal of small businessmen, errr, businesswoman here in karon.
once they have snagged a falang karon bargirls seem to be very territorial. one gets the feeling that most of these women get taken out for the gfe. the punters in karon don't seem to have the edge that their brothers in bkk and patong have. it's a small town so once the said punter has 'done the business' it is pretty easy for these girls to 'shadow' him. a few of the girls discussed this with me stating that they prefer to stay 'long time' meaning 'whole vacation' not just all night.
i also talked to a couple of guys. there seemed to be more than a few who had lost control of their situation and were letting it ruin their vacation. one who kept muttering, 'i can't get away from her', was especially irritating. play the victim by day, continue to shag her brains out all night long, only to wake up to a huge obstacle every morning.
q: when does 'up to you!' not mean 'up to you!'
a: when in karon beach, phuket.
if you have never been to thailand it is good to keep in mind that reality plays little part in the in superficial bar girl relations. you are able to meet a 'quality' person every now and then, but it takes a great effort and/or a shit load of luck. while there is no excuse for being an asshole, there is also no excuse for being taken advantage of. for the 'butterfly' visiting karon my advice would be to negotiate everything in advance, pay up, and have someplace 'important' to go every morning.
i've briefly summed up what i think of the town, the current mood, and some examples of what i have seen....so what fun can be had in karon?
north karon
just north of the traffic circle and along patak road east sit several venues that might just be your bag. once you get to patak soi 22, the buddhist wat, there isn't much of anything so confine your rambling to this area for the time being. just north of traffic circle on the south side of patak road east sits the gun bar, new friend bar, and suthin's kaffe house. these are perhaps the worst beer-bars on the face of the earth. new friend bar is the current holder of the record for 'ugliest katoey', ever!!!!!!
new friend bar - totally dominated by a crop of 'fresh off the rice paddie' girls. they are there every day and night barefoot and ready for action, usually watching a soap opera and awaiting the falangs that aren't coming. there are at least two cuties but no stunners. mr. ugly is unavoidable, but nice enough, and not bothersome once she/he realizes that it isn't going to happen. the decor is worth seeing as just about every sea creature known to mankind, endangered, extinct, or otherwise adorns the walls stuffed in lifelike poses. alternating between these effigies are pictures of the king making for an odd dynamic: giant sea turtle, king, king crab, king, puffer fish, king, etc. tables and chairs are all large slabs of teak and look kind of cool but are very uncomfortable. if you are in karon check it out but don't make a special trip.
suthin's kaffe house - 12 or so girls sitting outside and dancing away to boy band crap. pumping up a lot of energy into the street. step into the 'empty' bar and you are greeted by mamasan:
mamasan: 'what laby you wan'?
culturecypher: 'i just want a singha'
mamasan: 'no wan lady'?
culturecypher: 'mai, bia sing, kop khun khrap.' [no, just a singha beer, thanks]
the girls look in as if i have six heads wondering why i haven't made my selection. i sit alone making notes until finally the 'bar turd' joins me. i don't enjoy the whole 'make your selection, now!' way of doing business. i understand and deal with it when at a massage parlor, but i prefer the beer bars and go-go's where i can at least find a 'little' chemistry. i really don't enjoy visiting with the 'bar turd' and she gets the message soon enough and moves on. most girls here seemed annoyed with me and i was glad to be outta there after a couple big swigs on my singha. there were a couple of really sexy girls here. had i shown an immediate interest i am sure things may have worked out differently. the girls here were much better than in the new friend bar in sheer aesthetics.
across from the new friend bar is a small plaza with several 'upscale' beer bars. yes i know, upscale beer bar, oxymoron of the century. 6 bars form a clockwise semi circle as follows: 'bar with no name', 'skylight bar', schlusslicht bar & restaurant', 'c & m - yay bar', 'dimension bar', and 'the key bar'. this semi circle bottoms out at the whale resort and it is hard to figure out if some of the ladies here are offering services. the bars are appointed nicely, some offering food, they seem to be brand new, and are completely empty sans the occasional punter and over-balasted farang couple tsk-tsking the sanuk scene. they girls offer services at the key bar and there are a couple of winners there all day long. once again don't make a special trip.
walking north up patak road east 25 more yards you will happen upon yet another small crop of bars. they sit inside a larger plaza with a supermarket, several tailors, and the other obligatory shops offering goods that no one needs when at the beach. 'football bar', 'allies bar', 'clapton's bar', 'buzz bar', 'sunee's bon sai bar', 'belsch cafe' [sic], 'love n joy bar', and 'kon tai pub'. nothing really special here. the bars are complete with the usual craziness that accompanies the naughty nightlife scene in thailand: babies walking around in [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord131][CodeWord131][/url] on the bar, drunken boisterous punters [yet too few], and lusty glances from fair and not so fair maidens. i was cornered in clapton's by an over aggressive homely lass that took such a liking to me that i have permanently penciled this strip off of my 'places to visit' list. she completely interfered with my research and caused a scene as i left to visit other bars, wailing and moaning. i have never experienced anything like this before. the plaza is big enough to support several squid, bbq, and som-tam motorcycle vendors. the girls from the bars come outside into the plaza and it kind of looks like there would exist a freelance scene here after hours. on two occasions i cruised by at 2-2:30am and it was slim pickens.
further up patak road east you will pass a nice temple, worth a daytime looksy, and continue on a 2-3 km stretch of deserted road to the center of karon. along the way you will pass 'angels' bar, big screen tv for football games, and several little karaoke/beer bars that have competitive rates and an ok selection of isaan farmgirls. when you come to your first intersection, luang poh chuang road you will be in front of the 'farang bar', 'asia bar', and the inappropriately named 'karma lounge'. asia bar and farang bar both make for an amusing visit, but don't expect to find the polished quality one might have come to expect when visiting a bangkok gogo bar. most of the bars on this section of road require at least a little bit of thai language abilities. expect to find three katoeys residing in karma lounge, no customers, and a good band on friday nights. the modern decoration of this lounge really clashes with the bars across the street making it an interesting corner. several freelancing ladyboys have realized this and work the street aggressively. my advice make a right turn and head down to karon center.
karon center
take luang poh chuang road all the way towards the beach and make a left turn. go about 100 meters and you will be in front of the crown jewel of karon sanuk activity. karon center is a small soi, actually two back to back, with about 20-30 bars [some already closed for low season] and about 80 girls working. it also boasts a severe lack of customers.
'why not bar, 'lady bar', 'b.s. bar', 'dengskt bodega', 'moon light bar', 'butterfly bar', 'wizard & mange bar', 'lita italian bar', 'shark area bar', 'flower night bar', 'my way bar', 'rosaalba bar', 'nong noi bar', 'kathaleeya bar', 'walhalla bar', 'marathon bar', 'orchid bar', and of course the '#1 bar'. hardly a threat to patong's business karon center does have a couple of real hotties working. while it was dead the girls seem to be in ok spirits and i have a good time whenever i visit. 'marathon bar' is strictly ladyboy, and there are several extremely [be careful] passable ladyboys working throughout karon center. adjacent to the main area is a smaller soi with a couple of venues: 'hotshot bar', 'black cat bar', 'white bar', 'friend bar', 'no name bar', 'tony bar', and several small restaurants where girls make themselves available.
some of the larger bars in these sois are closed, i expect more will be closed soon. i would recommend that you visit karon center. they have perhaps the best streetfood bbq on the island of phuket located right out front, and there are definite hotties ready to satisfy.
with the price of tuk tuk travel so expensive on phuket i wouldn't recommend karon as a sanuk destination. i have a motorbike and it is really easy to zip around from spot to spot. budget at least 500-600 baht to take a tuk tuk to all of the spots i have just laid out. the good news is that barfines are 200 baht across the board in karon, singhas 60-70 baht, heineken 70-80 baht, and in most places lady drinks cost the same amount as if you were buying it for yourself. additionally the 'karon inn cafe' has an 'all you can eat sunday brunch' for 99 baht that is most delightful after a hard night on the town in karon. if you are in phuket check it out, you can always head back to patong. consider it a diversion should you wear out your welcome in the soi's of bangla road. it is certainly the most activity on phuket outside of patong.
MOTS Pure poetry....
Although I do not share all your opinions on Karon Beach, I must admit I very much like your writing and your elegant use of the english language.
You remind me of (and if you haven't read it yet you must do) Oscar Wilde's: The picture of Dorian Gray.
What a pity he never went to Siam.....
ManOnTheStreet
keep on with your good reports.
Will try to give Phuket a shot (if possible) and buy you a drink on my next trip.
ManOnTheStreet,
Another fine post.
I should like to commend you to Governor CEO Pongpayome Vasaputi for a special award. You've certainly done more to encourage visitors to the island recently than Thaksin!
Keep up the good work. Kata next?
Happy sanuking,
TB
hey man, prices adjusted accordingly for relatively lack of participants (seems like its a bit easier here in pattaya except for Cobra Gold - and there aren't that many allowed oput at night)
just curious mind you since I probably won't get there
Although this probably should have been posted under 'General Info' here it is .....
PASSPORT AND VISA CARD (OR ...) GONE?
After having rented a car (why?: My GF wanted to go to a deserted beach for sex on the beach after I - not knowing she did not know the drink - the day before asked a waitress: 'You can make me sex on the beach?' - making my GF killing the waitress - etc. etc - TIT) I didn't bother to go to the hotel with my passport and VISA card. Definitely should have ...
The short version of the Ladyboys Fuck Farang story you will find below. I just want to add that the stuff was in a plastic bag inside my underpants :D
Called VISA 'homeland' to close card. Went to police. Police not interested - you are broke - they want to listen to a white cow who has lost her luggage only - she will tip them. Called bank. Bank say: Go Farmers Bank. Closed (time difference). Went next day. Had ID (drivers licence). Faxed to bank. Bank send B 60.000 by SWIFT. Total time: 37 hours.Total cost of telephone and fees: some B 4000. Airport: Even for domestic flights you have to have passport. 3 offices and 2 hours later having showed my police report 6 times and filled out 3 forms I can enter the plane for BKK. Embassy: Bring two passport photos and queue for 1 hour behind Thais wannabee bride, student, maiden ...... One hour later (I need to shit - my stomach is B 20 noodle soup and B 1500 Singha and Gordon's dry - and the embassy has no public toilet). Finally I get my 'Laisser Passer' (let pass) paper to get out of the Kingdom. But this is not all: You have to go to the Immigration Office (the embassy gives you a card with adress in Thai for the taxi) to get your entry visa details printed and stamped on the document. And there you have to go to an office on 4th floor - the elevator didn't work - to fill out 2 forms. Then you must go ground floor to make copies of poilce report and embassy papers. Back 4th. Deliver papers. Fill out this too. We need another copy. 10 officials. 2 working - the rest wath tv or do their hair or nails. 50 minutes later - a young australian girl crying out her heart for having her passport stolen got all the attention - you want to kill - nothing more has happened to your papers.................. Then the decorated female official make the last signature on the Laisser Passer paper. Then you fucking run clinging to your new document.
Outside Immigration Office you spit on the road: Pay 500. You smoke - ok - but if you do not take your cigarett to the litter bin: 500.
-----------------
Take the warnings seriously. Use deposit boxes, have cash and cheques as well as cards - take copy of your passport. And stay away from ladyboys (If you want to fuck one have your armed friend sitting by) :(
-----------------
I never thought I would turn out an auntie giving warnings on the net. But I still love Thailand ..........
Thanks, Philo -- though it's no fun to be an object lesson, your experience does help reinforce the message that it always pays to be careful. (Not surprising that the wheels grind so slowly -- there's nothing like giving a bureaucrat power over someone in distressing circumstances to make things slow to a crawl.) Personally, I only carry a copy and never my passport, which stays in the hotel safe, and comes out only if I need it for currency exchange or some other bank business, and then goes right back in. The few police I've had to deal with in LOS never have a problem with this. (I generally keep a copy of my passport hidden in each piece of luggage just in case, which also comes in handy if there's ever a need to prove ownership.) I never carry credit or ATM cards with me unless I'm going to use them for something -- they, too, stay locked up. My money gets carried in two separate stashes, one for just spending and pulling from and the other as a small reserve, and never more than a few thousand baht beyond what I'm going to spend while I'm out and about. Your experience is precisely why I tend to take along some money in travelers checks -- just to have flexibility in case something goes wrong.
A while back there was a post about some tourist in Pattaya and his Thai girlfriend being robbed on the beach of something like 60,000 baht in cash and more than double that on his credit card, and I could only think to myself, what kind of idiot carries 60k baht around with him? Even presuming that his "girlfriend" wasn't the one who set him up, anyone who carries that amount of cash around even at home is asking for trouble, not even considering how much money that is to the average Thai, and how enticing tourist areas are for crooks.
And, LOL, I'm gonna have to remember that "sex on the beach" bit -- a nice way to have yourself be on the right side of such a misunderstanding, with excellent potential side benefits...
Well, if you're going to manage to negotiate being an ex-pat, you'll certainly need to learn at a cheaper rate :) or your money won't last long. Hmm, with the Visa, rather than them observing you, it sounds more likely that they got you to provide them with the code while you were drugged out -- especially if you were given something like Rohypnol.
For what it's worth, I see nothing incompatible with being a romantic and taking sensible precautions: the hopeless part should be in the outlook, not the method. I freely admit to probably being far more a romantic sort than a hardcore monger type, and I've no desire to change that because it's worked for me, but I still look to cover my ass both physically and emotionally. Just because you believe in the possibility of walking on air doesn't mean you need to go jumping off tall buildings. :D
And I envy you your grand adventure, regardless of how it turns out, and wish you nothing but good luck and fortune!
Thanks again!
Philo don't let it get you down man. You are in PARADISE! A little bit of personal descretion is the key.
I'm off too Patong just in time for the 2:00 am free for all.
Actually it's not free but 500 baht goes a long way!!!!!!
Chok dee

You deserve it.
And same same to you joe_zop.
All,
Will be in Phuket in July... Thanks to all that have posted. Quick question... Looking for comments on these three places:
1. Phuket Cabana
2. Patong Villa
3. Club Bamboo
Girl Friendly? Proximity? Other??
Thanks!

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I'm going to be in Phuket for a few months starting in August. Can anybody advise on good quality health clubs or gyms in Phuket, and prices?
Man- at 2am they call it "Soi ha roy baht" (500 baht street) according to some <enjoy>

Depends on where you are going to stay. Patong has a nice gym near the Paradise complex ( between Paradise and Soi Nam Yen). You pay about 1500 baht for one month. There is another one if you go into the second soi on your right from the famous 7-11 on Rat U Thit. I think that. I think that Dinghy referred to this part of Rat u Thit as Soi Ha Roy Baht.
And then there is ofcourse the famous place for workout Christine's! Don't forget to visit them.
Born in 1964
I never stayed at Phuket Cabana or Patong Villa. Went to Phuket Cabana for dinner, nice fancy restaurant, but I am not sure if I like the hotel. I stayed at Club Bamboo 2 times. One time in a bungalow and one time the penthouse suite. Very nice place, girl friendly, but you need to rent a motorbike as they are about 10 min walking away from the center of the action.
Buzzz
Buzzz - thanks. Ended up booking patong villa. They were awesome on the phone, rooms look good on the web, mentioned as nice on boards, also rated well by some sites. Called and spoke with the manager - he is giving me their "sweet suite" for 2k b/night including svc and tax, also breakfast. Like I'll be awake ;)
Also - read posts and reviews on the restaurant at the cabana - will definately check it out. The Villa seems to be central to both sand and fun.... Should be a blast.
Any other recommendations for food, daytime or fun?
Freeler
Glad to see you are back (along with the rats :D)
What was that 'Welcome back to Phuket' about?
By the way - I'll leave for LOS jun10 and stay for a month. Can you give me an on spot course in no-john, will-not-be-farang-waterbuffalo and lack-of-soft-heart fucking and tipping?
Philo,
The welcome back was ages ago and I put it there because you said you were going to Phuket. Or was that a lie:(?
I'll drop into the HolyLand on June 28, planning to stay all summer:). I don't think I have your email yet...
BTW Have nice flight.
Freeler...
Read posts below for my last Phuket experience (I have deleted the most pathetic one)
I just found it strange that you posted when I was in Patong, like you knew or had seen or something (other paranoid stuff) ....
I'll stay till jul6 (because of job). If I have the courage, I'll buy you a Singha in the park in Khorat ...
Philo,
I was separated from my passport, most of my money and my creditcard once.
When I got my new passport (our embassy has a counter for its own nationals:)) I went to the immigration office where the immigration officer kept on asking 'How can I help you?'
I knew that 'By giving me the FUCKING clearance ASSHOLE' wasn't the right answer, so I opted for 'I have no money left at all, my CC is useless and I don't know how you can help me' - which of course means: I'm not going to pay bribes to you, you filthy Jakarta PIG!'
As soon as he realized that he was getting none from me, I got the papers and stamps and I was out the door within the hour.
WTH, this was the ONLY real mishap in half a lifetime of travel for me. But it still sucked:(!
'because of job', didn't you say Bye, Bye to your job???
I have given my letter of resignation. And even if I sometimes (always?) do not seem to be fit for it - I will move down there.
But I have obligations towards my masters degree students till dec03.
See you in the park....
04-28-03 20.13 Thai Women.... will tell you why I cannot relocate earlier.
I am a sucker but not a liar (2 times?)
Hi All,
Am thinking of going to Phuket for a holiday and want to know whether you can bring the girl's back to the hotel or not. Which hotel's are 'girl friendly'? Do you have to pay a fine?

Are you serious!!! If so please read earlier posts and the Thailand FAQ's.
Re your 3 questions
yes
lots
maybe!!!!!!!!!!!
Born in 1964... What are the contact details for the Patong Villa? I am going to Phuket with two other guys in early August, and this sounds like a good spot to book.
Thanks to all the bro's who have posted such excellent FRs on the Phuket scene. I've been spending so much time in China and Taiwan, and this will be my first time back in Phuket since 1990! Really looking forward to a few days of girls, golf, girls, beach, girls, drinking, girls and, well, more girls.
I'll also be returning to Kunming and DongGuan, PRC after a few months away, so if anyone needs updated info from there watch the China forum.
Patong medio June...
Tons of girls (10+ for each falang), but few beauties in the beer bars (I regularly checked Bangla and rhe soi's Eric, Easy, Seadragon, Gonzo and Seapearl by motersai (sic)). A few good freelancers in Star Wars, Banana and Tai Pan (but they are all looking for the LT-GFE). And the gogo-bars are really depressing........
Girl prices like before: almost any female body can be had for 500-1500. Good rooms down to 400. Good to see the overpriced place bleeding a little bit....
But Patong is rather boring now..... Good to be back in BKK!
Was a little disappointed with the scene in patong. They had some cute girls, but there were so many that were old or fat. Went to one gogo bar that wanted 600 barfine and 2000 for the girl, I said that was too much and walked out when they refused to negotiate.
Picked up a cutie named Ann who says she's 18 at a bar, paid 200 to the bar and went back to the hotel, gave her 1500 for the night. She wasn't hungry so I only bought her a drink that night before we got down to business. She was great.
Went into Phuket town and couldn't really find a redlight district. I think Pattaya would be a better choice in the future. Although the food here in Patong Beach suits my stomach better.
Hi guys,
is there any actual information about decent hotels (aircon, IDD, 4-5 stars) close to the action and girl friendly? I only know thara, but they are planning to introduce some joiner fee now.
Thanks for good info!
CU Mike
... anybody around end of July for a beer??
Bruce_Lee,
It is hard to think that you could not find the red light district at Patong Beach. It is such a small place and every Tuk Tuk driver knows where to take you. The street to look for is Bang-la road and you can get to it from patong beach road. Bang-la road is one street that makes a 1 mile square block that is full of bars, discos, clubs, etc. There are literally hundreds of bars. Of course there are some bars with older woman and some that are not that hot. You have to be patient and walk around. The Hard Rock has some really good looking women. Also another place to go is the Christin massage place behind the patong resort hotel. That place in the evening has at least 50 to 75 girls for the standard 2 hour soapy and massage with some good sex. The charge here is 1500 BHT during the day and 2000 BHT in the evening. I found found some really beautiful women there. I like Patong Beach becasue there are some great tourist things to do during the day and some great seafood.
Happy Hunting!
Umm, Bruce_Lee said he couldn't find the red light district in Phuket Town, not Patong Beach. Big, big difference.
Joe_zop,
Yes thanks I see that now. Since he was talking about Patong Beach for most of the E-mail, I made that mistake. I will have to venture to Pattaya Beach in order to compare to Patong. I have been to Bangkok a few times and Phuket 6 times. When doing business in Asia, it is a great place for some R&R. I like Phuket for the beaches and all of the other things to do. The night action at Patong is really great. I have been sucessful with some of the girls that worked in a jewelry store and another that worked at one of the clothing stores. Nice to get a freebie once in a while. What is your experience Joe and what do you recommend? Thanks for input and comments and for catching my mistake.
Still struggling with where is best to do my visa run (simple in out stamp) remember seeing some signs around Phuket refering to visa trips all inclusive of van, and whatever, is it Ranong? Just want some advice on ease of this, if i explain, i'm confined to barracks by the missus and am using the visa run as an excuse to have a wild night away, but MUST get the visa sorted at the same time. I want to get out of Bangkok and have some fun. Does anyone know anyone in Phuket that does this visa run service? do they have contact details etc? Also is it worth coming from bangkok to Phuket for some honey? or should i goto Koh kong (Cambodia border) and get it around there?
Any advice, direction, alternative ideas or info as always is appreciated.

You'll find them everywhere in Patong. This site claims Ranong 10 hours, 1000 B included minibus, boat and food:
[url]www.thaivisa.com/292.0.html[/url]
And this company takes 1200 B: [url]www.phuketfivestars.com[/url]
And a nice little story: [url]www.thingsasian.com/goto_article/article.1942.html[/url]
Concerning the girl issue, see my post below.
Meaty,
There are a number of options for the Ranong visa run if you just turn up in Patong Beach. You can ride on a motorbike with someone else if you are short of cash, or share a bus or taxi as far as I know. Some friends of mine get together and hire an A/C limo and driver and then spend the waiting time in the Andaman casino in Burma drinking and gambling.
Only link I have is:
http://thailand-hotels.co.uk/Ranong_Andaman_Burma.html
but there are lots of adverts around in Patong, or just ask at any dive shop.
Can't say anything about Patong versus KK, but would like to find out myself.
Cheers,
TB
I just came back from my first trip to Thailand. I didn’t spend much time in GoGos (I’m a little shy, only 23 years old) but next time I will! In Patong I went to a few gogos, I was not impressed, I enjoy nudity, and the 2 I went to didn’t seem to have that.
I met a young lady on the internet (jojo on my photo album http://******************/thaimarauder ) and we were walking around when a guy showed me a blurry picture of naked girls, I said ok where? He took me there, I don’t remember the name of the place.
I had heard about these shows, but still it made my jaw hit the floor.
JoJo and I were the only customers. They asked JoJo to get on stage and she said ok…. A dancer asked for 100 baht to tip JoJo, she put it in her bra. Then she pulled some brightly colored cloth (it reflected in the blacklight) out of her coochie and handed it to JoJo, and instructed JoJo to walk to the other end of the stage. That was a lot of fabric! Then jojo got grossed out and got down.
Well, there were 4 dancers, one came and sat with us and told us that the other girls had all been taken home already. It was 10:30 but ok, whatever.
They were really the saddest dancers I had seen, all obviously much older then me, and 2 of them probably weighted more then me. Icky.
Oh well, the show started at 11, and really, wow.
First a big girl came up on stage with a birthday cake covered with candles, and a little tube. She blew out all the candles through the tube (use your imagination) and offered for me to get the last one. I passed.
Then a girl came with a piece of paper, and asked for my name. I wrote it in Chinese to be cute and difficult. About 5 minutes latter, a girl came on stage with a piece of poster board and a magic marker, and managed to write “Welcome to XXXX club (My name in Chinese).“ I was like, woah! That was impressive. Her coochie writing was much better then my hand writing. She even wrote the Chinese word correctly and well. They gave me the poster, but I left it there, like I was going to carry that back to the hotel, or touch it for that matter.
Then a girl blew a whistle, another blew a horn, another pulled a big long string, with razor blades tied at every 8 inches or so out of her coochie (ouch).
Then the jaw dropper. A girl got on stage with a fish bowl, I was like, no way! Shes not going to put a fish up there! Then I saw it was empty. Drunken Suspence. She danced for one song, then squatted over the bowl. Oh my god, flying turtle! She had 2 small turtles and 3 goldfish up there! How did she dance for 3 minutes? Mean, but when you are drunk, it makes your jaw drop, for sure!
It was getting expensive at that point, we were the only ones in there, and they were pushy for buying drinks and giving tips (even the waitress was pushy for buying her drinks) so we left. I had heard them say pingpong. Lol guess that was next.
I did not get hard the whole time, I would never want to ever ever have sex with any of those girls ever, but I am glad I went cause it is a unique experience, and I will have a great story to tell.
By the way, I stayed at the Aloha Villa, it was 900 baht and I was satisfied. The internet downstairs sucked, but it is not a far walk to a worthwhile internet café anywhere in Thailand really.
Marauder> Excellent photos, you definetly had fun, did you get a mobile or any contact details for the indo girl? she looks like a lot of fun, wouldnt mind meeting her, if you prefer to contact me outside the board with details, meatywsg@hotmail.com.

Has anyone stayed at Harry's Beach Hotel in Patong? I'm staying at the Sheraton Grande in Bang Tao Beach (not my choice, but a beautiful play anyway) for a few nights. But, I want to spend one night in Patong much closer to the action, and I noticed Harry's. The price is right (1000 B) and it's right on the beach. But, maybe some of the bro's have a better recommendation?
I'm planning to pay a visit to Christin's during the day and then hit the bar scene that night. So, I want a place I can stumble back to in the wee hours!
All of the posts here these past few weeks have been great. Thanks to all of you who have posted such valuable info. I'll add my reports when I return.
Hi all,
Just back from Phuket. I stay at this Banthai Hotel at Patong area. Overall a nice hotel, but I feel that a bit expensive.
As for bringing a girl back to hotel, you have to pay a joiner fee of 500 bht.
How about other hotels? Any one been to Phuket Town, like Pink Lady? What the price did you get over there? A guide told me is 3500 bht and 4000 bht for overnight.
Seems I fell in love over the place, now a bit lost and listless in life.
I'm sure going back there again at the end of the year or early 2004.

Oh yes,
What is your opinion, which hotel give the best price in accomodation, cleanniness, security?
Thanks

I have never been to Harry's place, but it is off Beach Road on the south side of the beach near the Post Office. About 10 minutes walk from Soi Bangla but much further from Kristen's which is almost directly due east but I don't know of any short-cut past the Patong Tower. You can go to Kristen's via Soi Bangla but it takes maybe 25 minutes. (Does anyone else know of a short cut?)
Unless you really insist on a beachside hotel, then you could try Soi San Sabai at the top end of Soi Bangla. Just straight through the traffic lights and Kristen’s is five minutes off on the right along Soi Rat-U-Thit.
If you’re interested do a search on cheap hotels in San Sabai. There is a nice swimming pool at the end of San Sabai, BB’s, less frenetic than the beach, though after the Sheraton you are probably spoilt for pools. My favourite hotel is the Summer Breeze run by Lester Smith:
http://phuket-summerbreeze.com/
Let us know how Harry’s turns out if you decide to stay there, it looks fine from the website.
They say Phuket is an expensive place to find good quality meat and this might have some truth in it. Had a few good ones from beer-bars and they ask 1000 for ST, can't get under B800. Go-Gos are even pricier. So when you get a bargain it feels so much better.
On soi Seadragon I had my thoughts on this bleached blonde tall chick for a while. She was just so much out of place in the smutty Bang-Bang -a-Go-Go. She was perfect! Didn't even look thai but rather Japanese or Korean. But she always looked too pricey for my low budget.
One night to my delight she just sat down next to me, I got drinks for both of us and we were in business. In about two minutes I was buried elbow deep in her panties by both hands. No complaints. I popped the question:"How much for short time?"
She replied:"one thousand baht, OK?"
Wow, no complaints on my side. For this one!
She was just made for it, such a natural! As soon as we entered the room, I sat on the bed and to my surprise she just dropped her jeans, leaned on the TV table and positioned her perfect arse in classic doggy style. She was all hot and wet. (a bit miraculously to me, but I did not complain for a second). So off we went, right there, unwashed, sweating, bang-bang-bang (just like her bar's name). I was a bit worried, that the neighbours would look at me strange tomorrow as she was screaming from the top of her voice, seemingly unaware. I didn't fuck her, she fucked me!
After a shower I like to get a second session out of them so we did it again. That meat was so perfect, bordering the unreal. Knowing that they are fond of beauty contests in LOS I asked "You haven't lost a lot of beauty contests, have you?"
"No, not many but in the last one I did not enter." She replied.
"You are a great fuck too. Just like a porn star or something" I told her, but she did not admit to doing any movies. What a shame. She was made for it.
Anyway. Good Bye, Good Bye, kiss, kiss.
"You come, see me tomorrow?"
"Sure!"
I did not . Had another one. Not as great as this one, but different. I don't like repeats so much, no matter how good. But this was a very-very memorable one.
Cost: pay bar500, pay girl 1000, two drinks 200, total B1700.
Thanks for the hotel info. I talked to the manager/owner of Harry's tonight, and he said the price in the summer is about 800B and it's a very quiet location although within 200m of the main bar area in Patong Beach. I don't know if that's true, but it sounds promising. I want to go to Christin's, but I guess it would be just as easy to take a tuk-tuk there. No need to waste valuable energy walking, right?!
Since I'm planning to lounge on the beach all day before hitting the fun spots, Harry's sounds like a good option. As always, I'll definitely post a FR on all of our activities.
Meanwhile, if anyone can somehow narrow down to 2-3 the best bars to visit it would sure help. There are just too many to choose from, and the odds of stumbling into some good ones is pretty low when we're there only one night.
Thanks, bro's!
Hi,
Any one know the price for special massages at Patong area?
I remember there s are one massage parlour at this 7/11,but didnt ask them.
Care to share..
I been to Banana Disco, entreance fee 200bht plus 2 drinks. Seem a lot of chick to pick up.but didn't pick up any coz have girl to keep me company.
Lately when I've gone to Phuket I've stayed at the Boomerang Inn. Nothing fancy but clean, relatively quiet yet only about a 3 minute walk from the beach, about 5-7 minute walk to where most of the bars are located. Run by an Aussie and his Thai wife. Very reasonable prices. http://phuket.com/boomeranginn/
Hi there. Does anyone have any girl-friendly hotel e-mail addresses for contact? I'm planning a trip in Oct.
Thanks,
Donnylad
Hi,
Usually five star and four star are not girl friendly hotel. As for me, I stay at this Banthai hotel and pay 500 bht joiner fee for the girl for one night, although she stay withe me for 2 night.
Phuket Thailand.
Shark disco has closed down and a new one is opening there (should be open by now). Banana Disco is still alive and kicking. There is also the Safari Disco next to the Meridian Hotel but that is some distance from Patong Beach.
Jap ladies - Hang out at the beach along thaweewong road and try to make friends with any jap you see. You could then invite them or her out for dinner at nite and party with them. The japs usually hang out in pairs or more .
As for the massage palour, Cristins is still there but if you just wanna ta pau i suggest you take a tuk tuk (bht450 one way) to Phuket town to Pink Lady Club and take away from there. Appox bht 2800. The quality at Cristins is poor and if you just wanna experience the arp naam then is ok Bht1800
For food - Try Dons Cafe near Chalong. Good value ang moh food for money. Need tuk tuk to get there. For Thai food try the seaside restaurant at Leam Hin .
Nite entertainment if you are staying at Patong then soi bangla is the main strip. If you venture to other beaches like kata and karon then there are other giilie bars , but a piece of advice its just a different dog with the same set of fleas.
Going to Phuket the first time on Aug 1-9th. Suggests on best bars for good looking girls and hotels for a newbee? I need some kinda help here.
I promise to come back with FULL detailed reports. Lord knows this has been a mind scramble for me!
Thanks!
Hi,
Just to ask about short time and long time? Short time maybe 1-2 hour, how about long time?
Thanka in advance,
Cheers
I am at a going to Phuket on Aug 1st after arriving in Bangkok at 11:30 in the PM the night before.
This is my FIRST time to Asia and I am frantically wondering about where to stay. I want some place kind of nice since I'm going to be at patong beach for 7 days but I want it not to be TOO expensive and girl friendly.
Question: hotel recommendations? and should I take a night and to to Phuket City? I read of a couple of good places there. I am a fairly good looking guy and very picky about the girls. I am getting worried that it's going to rain everyday and the girls aren't very cute there....help!

You haven't specified your budget but I found that the Patong Resort hotel (about USD60) was good and will suit your purposes. It is well situated at the end of a soi off Soi Bangla, the main drag in Patong. The quality of the talent is not of BKK standards so be prepared to spend time in the various bars (as I did) to find what you want. The Tai Pan bar has a lot of FL action.
Cheers.
Thanks JD. I appreciate the insight.
I think that I 60$US would be ok or even a little more would be ok too. I think I'll take your advise and stay there and of course report my exploits.
I also heard that there are some pretty good places in Phuket City which I actually read here. I have time so I'll probably look take my time with it.
Again thanks!
Clemson
this place is good, reasonably priced and very girl friendly!
Thai run.
Tuy is the manager, good bloke!

Has anyone stayed at the Impana Phuket Cabana Hotel? It is a little pricey but by the beach. During rainy season, is it worth it to pay 81USD a night? Are they guest friendly?
I was also looking at the Royal Palm. I am having a hard time deciding on a place. I want it a little upscale, near the light life but not too close with nice amenities and a girl-friendly attitude at about 60USD a night.
Suggestions? And has it really rained every day for the past two weeks? Darn, going to be there on Aug 2nd!
Okay, boys, several of you clearly know Phuket inside and out. So, for the benefit of the rest of us, here's a question for you: if you had only 24 hours to spend in Patong, where would you go and why?
Your answers will greatly help those of us who don't live in Phuket or Thailand and are much more limited with our time available there.
Thanks, bros!
Clemson Tiger,
81 USD is too expensive. Visit latestays.com .Currently they are charging 2300 baht. Try the Burasari or Baan Yin Dee, both nice places and better value for money. I am not sure about any joiner fees however.
Trotter 717,
Yes, we had some rain, but last two/three days were better already.
You are asking about what to do if you only have 24 hours, that is really a difficult one. I would visit some of the following places: Christins', SeaHag or PanYaah restaurant, Patong Beach, TaiPan, Margarita bar, Bars at Soi SeaDragon, Molly Malone.
But there is so much more
Buzzz
Trotter717,
24 hrs in Patong?
Get on a songthaew to PhuketTown, rent a HondaDream for B150 a day and explore the goddamned island! See Panwa - don't forget to stop for a B10 coffee or softdrink, ChalongBay, go up PhuketHill, check out the road along the WestCoast.
At 5PM pick up a girl from a quiet bar, pay B500 LT+barfine, take the girl to see the sunset on PromthepCape.
After the sun is down the girl will do anything for you, so take her to your room and take advantage of her!
Only a moron spends his time on Phuket island in a GoGo bar.
Period!
Last night I had a look @ the lineup @ Christins just to verify it wasn't gonna happen.
The tout wanted 1800 for some pudgy girl scouts in the left corner. 2500 got you some finer trim but c'mon.
Funny thing about Thanon Song Roi Pi - several places wanted the money upfront even for the 'Traditional massage'!! The boy scouts (four of them) hanging out in the lobby @ Christins looked more like errand boys for a BIG non-performing development loan shark than in-house muscle. I had two guys leaning over the register watching the girl put my (shitty oily massage) money in the till. Fucking pikers.
The prices/quality are inversely comparable to Bangkok - twice as much TB for less. Shop @ MBK, Robinson's and Baron (Soi 24) and skip the soapy in patong! Otherwise Phuket is pretty fine!
TROTTER 717
Freeler obviously looks at the low budget end of things. (Not that there is anything wrong with that, but since you only have a day to spend then why be too stingy?)
Let's say your 24 hr starts at 10am.
Stay only in Patong to avoid spreading yourself too thin. First of all, you could start with a good breakfast at the many streetside restaurants on Soi Bangla or "200 year" road and just get a feeling of the town for an hour. Look at the faces, the tourists, locals. Shouldn't cost more than B150.
At 11am wash it down with a beer on the beach. The sun is not the strongest yet. Have a swim, enjoy the beach and the scene. It's very relaxing just to be there. (of course watch your stuff and don't take much cash).
At 12 noon Christine's massage opens and they have some nice ladies there. One and a half hour will set you back arond B2500 including a couple of drinks and some tip for the girl. The rooms are really good and so is the service. The girls get trained thoroughly before commencing work (by the papasans-poor boys!). You get sex-session No.1.
At 1.30pm you can have s stroll along the main streets, maybe another beer. Take it easy, you are slowly warmong up for the evening shift. It will be busy!
2pm. If you have the cash, there is a multitude of seafood restaurants on the beach for lunch around B400-600. Otherwise also right on the beach you can have a good "Thom Yam Koong" for B80. It's delicious!
3pm. Some of the beer-bars start to open on Soi Bangla and around. You can pick-up a girl for ST for around B500-1000.
Spend just half an hour in the bar and one in your room. You don't have much time. You had sex-session No2.
5pm. Happy hours in the pubs on the beach! Beer only 35 baht. It's not just that but the scene is also interesting.
6pm. More bars open. Streetside stalls start setting up for the evening shift. You may pick-up a bargain as the first customer.
Stroll the streets a bit or enjoy the afternoon sun on the sand.
8pm. Most of beer-bars open. Don't forget, the best chicks in the whole town are in Soi Eric (off Bangla Road), everybody knows.
Now it's up to you. If you want to lick the ass of one ho for the night (as Wheeler advised) or you want your ass to be licked by many hos. I prefer the latter option.
You don't need to spend much. Stroll down Soi Eric and find the bar with the most shameless hos, buy a bottle of whisky for B500-1500, invite as many hos to drink with you as you like. Have fun with them. Make sure you don't drink much though!
They won't want to let you go. You can take one or two to your room at 9pm. Negotiate a good price for two girls like total B1500 plus barfine 2xB200. Shake-it, shake-it baby with the two until 11pm. You had sex-session No.3++
11pm. You don't have much time for eating now. Grab a quick snack from a streetside stall for B30. Next destination Rock Hard-a -Go-Go. Just on the corner of Soi Bangla. Many beauties on display. (A tip: You may want to do Rock Hard before the beer bars as the best meat tends to go quickly - but not always).
You can have sex-session No.4 or move on to the other go-gos on Soi Seadragon.
12 midnight. The discos start rocking, eg. Star Wars or Banana. Freelancers galore. B1000 ST or B1500 LT. No barfines here. You can have two girls again if you wish.
1am. Hopefully you still have one bullet or two left. Take her Long Time for B1500. Sex session No.4 (or No.5?).
9am in the morning. Session No. ???????
DID YOU HAVE A GOOD 24 HOURS?
I am not proud of this story but have to tell it so others may learn. Previously having found a top looker in one of the gogo bars, went back again to look around. Had one of the hos in mind. A nice slim one, with a couple of tattoos.
It's pretty dark inside that particular bar so when she sat down next to me I felt quite happy. Started talking and soon I figured out it was just a similar looking one, but not the same. Nevertheless quite a reasonable meat so I didn't mind. Tall, slender very white and very soft skin.
I had my hands all over 'her'. Soon off we went and on the street while walking back to the hotel I noticed 'her' big feet. Oh but good looking women have big feet I conforted myself. Just look at Cindy Crawford or Elle Macpherson.
Arrived in the bungalow. She undressed. Great body. Cute smallish tits. I took a handful. 'This is rubber' it came to me . But oh well, some girls have rubber tits. 'She' was the most perfect meat otherwise with narrow hips and cute little triangle over the 'pussy'.
Showertime. 'She' didn't want to shower with me. So, what. Some of them are shy. Then I took a shower alone after 'her'. Also, 'she' appeared quite shy by not letting me examine her hole.
Then 'she' was going to start kissing me but by that time I felt a bit uncomfortable so I refused. Another unusual sign: 'she' asked for her money to be paid upfront. Now, that never happens LOS so of course I got alarmed. "I will pay you after. Don't worry" I said.
Then 'she' went on to perform BBBJ but for some reason I insisted that it's going to be covered. It turned out to be quite a reasonable BJ actually. 'She' wanted to lay on her back and me on top.
I didn't like this very forceful personality and by then just wanted it all done and over and get her out of the room ASAP. So I just stuck it in. 'She' guided it in the hole. It felt quite strange. You know that when a ho lays on her back and you stick it in, your cock goes kind of 'upward' in the tunnel, towards the stomach. But this was going DOWN!
I had to check. Was it IN? I noticed two very fine whitish lines running alond the sides of the triangle. Then the picture was complete. "You are a f***ing boy!"
'She' smiled. "How did you know? Many men never notice." I felt so stupid. We agreed that I give her half of the deal, just 500 baht. 'She' kissed me on the cheek before left. "Goodbye."
I went to the toilet and vomited. And vomited . And vomited for three days. I was so sick. Now I look and look and double, triple check. But 'she' had no Adams Apple. None whatsoever.
Well, sorry to hear about your bad experience. I have seen some very attractive ladyboys, so I always want to see the whole package BEFORE I do any nasty.
I also like to take pictures as they're disrobing too. Something to remember them by in later years.
At least you were honest about it.
Mistapenus (and other brothers), thanks for your "24-hours in Phatong" advice. It's great! Thanks, especially, for such details as the bar names and prices. Very helpful. I'm looking forward to some great adventures there next week.
Trotter717,
Take your girl to see thew gawddammed sunset! You will be in for an unbelievable experience. It works for me everytime!
Never mind what some fools try to make you believe: LT in Phuket is a mere B500+BF...

I'm sorry I can't answer a question about that Impana Phuket Cabana hotel, but I can recommend a very nice and quiet little hotel that was also inexpensive called "Casa Summerbreeze".
I live in a 5 star hotel year round because of my job, and this place isn't so nice like that, but it's a great value for the money and it really is quite good and very girl friendly. I also stayed at several other hotels in Patong before I found this little gem. Check it out.
http://phuket-summerbreeze.com
About the ladyboy story... there are more ladyboys in Patong beach than anywhere I've seen, so it's best to stick with the short cute girls and you will almost never have a problem. Some of those damn ladyboys can look like supermodels, so be careful if she's too pretty! haha.
You have to be very careful about ladyboys in Thailand. Remember, you can only unscrew a light bulb.
Hello Emperor Beast
If you have budget of 5000 THB a day you should go well around, you can fing a hotel in the price range 700 to 1200 bhat a night, food is cheap, I know foreigners who live on a 200 Baht a day food budget. The girls( that why we are going?) will cost from 500 and up, barfine is usual 200 Bhat in Phuket. It depends of the girl, the plce, is she a freelancer, thye can you find in the discos like Banana Club, Tiger, VIP or Star Wars, as well on the beach or some of the food places.
Hope this will help you, have a good trip. and remember enjoy!!!
Hello to all. I am leaving the end of the month for Asia and as usual will be heading to Phuket for 4 days of R&R. I hav not seen much updates on the board and I hope someone has some recent updates to the action at Patong Beach. It has been a year since I was last there. Is the Christian massage place still open? There is nothing like a soapy to get the blood flowing. That was the only place in Patong Beach that I ever found. Any experiences in the discos? I am sure the same bars are still there on Bangla Road. Anyone with an update would be appreciated.
anyone know if Smokin Joe's Roadhouse is still closed/up for sale?
Just returned from an awful trip to Patong Beach.
Do not stay at Aloha Village hotel in Patong Beach. I stupidly agreed to stay there after the transport Van from the Airport made a sneaky little stop where they make you get out of the van and harass you about where you are staying. The lady said she would beat the price of my favorite hotel (the Summerbreeze) by a longshot, so I went for it.
I first want to say that I live full time in hotels and don't have a home or apartment because of my job. In other words, I've dealt with various hotel management and staff every single day for the past 4 years!
Aloha Village was the ONLY place I have ever stayed in that really made an effort to rip me off! Basically I paid for a week in advance, had to check out early, and they tried to keep all of my money. It was pathetic because they kept finding new reasons why they couldn't give me a refund for the nights I didn't stay. First they tried adding hidden charges that were never mentioned before, and then kept changing the room rate price to a higher and higher rate because I didn't stay all the days I had paid for.
First they quoted me 900 baht, then they said it was 1400, and then finally the manager called on the phone and said the rate was normally 2700 baht a night so that's what they would have to charge me!!! It was crazy! I got my money back, but only because the girl at the front desk had a miscommunication with the manager on the phone who refused to refund my money to the very end.
Oh, about the nightlife. This was my 3rd and final trip there. For me anyway, the quality of the girls was so low that it was a wasted trip.
Guys,
Patong is expensive to stay long-time if you're on a budget. I stayed in Phuket Town, early 2002. It's cheap, Patong costs 3 times as much. Of course, few signs of pussy around PT. However if you have rented your own bike, it's 15mins ride to Patong where all the action is. I liked Tiger Disco best in Patong. Some of the girls are really gorgeous. And I managed to bargain the price down to 500Baht for all-nighters usually. Phuket Island in general was a nice experience, better than Pattaya, by far. Those of you fellow mongers who head down to Pattaya, straight from Don Muang, are missing out on the real Thailand.
I’m off for Thailand for the 1st time next week, I’ll spend a few days in Bangkok and then head for Phuket. I do adore mongering, but I’ve been said that October means heavy downpours in Phuket and I’d be “devastated” if I had just to fuck and not enjoy a bit of relaxing on the beach/sea. Do I have to change my plans and head for a quieter island sacrificing nightlife or should I stick to Phuket.
Ta.

Have no worrys regarding the weather in Phuket, yes it will rain and heavy at that. But it will only rain for short periods then the sun will shine! Remember that LOS is paradise! Assuming you are staying in Patong beach, don't forget to check out the "Rock Hard" bar.
Hi guys!
Just back from Phuket and wanted to share my experiences. Stayed the first 3 nights in Kata Noi. I have read in the forums that there was no action so I was not surprised. The only thing you might want to know is that the Kata Thani hotel charges 1500 Baht for overnight visitors. I thought that was too expensive so I did not even look for a gal to take home. You would not even find somebody in Kata Noi. Kata and Karon also seemed to be really quiet, low season. And to pay another 700 Baht for tuk tuk for the girl and 1000 for her services, come on! So I had some relaxation on the beach. I went to daytrip down Phuket town. There the taxi drivers show you pictures of girls in massage parlors. Massage and full service for 500 Baht. I didn´t believe this and did not try. But I had lunch there for 50 Baht so nothing is impossible. Went in front of the Palace hotel where the massage parlor is but it was very quiet in the afternoon.
5 days on Phi Phi island and no action at all, as the Phi Phi Island Village hotel is very separated and you can only go there by longtail boat. Anyhow, a lucky guy brought three TGs with him and certainly had fun.
For the last 4 nights I stayed in Patong, Club Andaman. And guess, how much they charge for a lady: 2000 Baht, no kidding! So I thought the best deal was to see Christine´s massage parlor as service is about 1500 Baht. But it all went different. First night I went to Tai Pan disco, where they had a live band. After 10 minutes sitting alone a BG, Dee, 24, appeared from nowhere. She was a freelancer and after a drink she offered my short time, sXck and fXck and massage for 500 Baht. I knew from the reports that was the going rate so I did not bargain. She knew a hotel where 3 hours where 300 Baht, all night 400 just down the street so we went there. She showered, than I, then we had some fun. One my way back to girls on the street offered me short timers for 500 Baht. I refused.
Next night I went to Star World disco where I found another girl. She was headed for long time, 1000 Bath and took me to a mansion that charged 500 Baht all night. Much nicer than the one before, with air con, TV, fridge and so on. If you want I can post the address. Well, anyway we had fun for the night. Next night I took the same girl (she considered herself being my short term girlfriend, so I got her for 500 Baht for the next nights) back to my hotel. I thought the worst that could happen was they wouldn´t let her in or she would have to be registered - in the latter case we would have left for another mansion. But the security guard at the back entrance could be "convinced" with 500 Baht (which I would have spent for the other room anyway) so we could go to my room. But he told us that next night we shoul not try as the guards change. Before we got to the hotel we went to an a-gogo-bar. About 15 girls dancing on the tables, but all covered. I was told you pay 1000 Baht to get her out of the bar and 2000plus to spend the night with them.
The next day we spent on the beach together. For my last night we went to another hotel that charged another 400 baht all night. It was okay. I where looking throughout the day for a room and also went to the Valhalla. Met the manager and he wanted 800 Baht for a regular room. But I did not chose it.
Club Andaman wanted another 1000 Baht for late check out. My flight was at night. So the girl, June from Chiang Rai, 24, took me to her place. She lives in a bedroom with bathroom together with 2 other girls in Patong. Same story I read here before: Just a bargirl for some months, mother sick, no money for studying, looking for a job. I gave her one of my private email-addresses so we will see how long she needs to send me the first pledge.
After all, Patong is THE sex tourism destination. It´s fun to go down the street and all the bargirls trying to get you inside. At the time I was there we had a Japanese gay convention. It was fun seeing the boys walk down the streets hand in hand and all the BGs dissapointed. For the ladyboys, I was a little bit irritated. I thought it would be hard to recognize one. But you can see it very obviously and when they begin to talk your will know. Weather was very bad, more rain than sunshine, Thai food was not spicy enough - they cook for the tourists but I am trained to eat Thai food so I was disappointed. But this doesn´t belong here. So I posted my general travel report on travelforum dor org for those who want to read it. Have fun and if you have a question I will be happy to answer.

Hello there,
Loved all the posts and all the helpful hints posted in this forum.
We are a young married couple going to Phuket by the end of October, it seems that the main attraction there are girls, Sure don’t mind that, is there any erotic adult fun going on for lady’s (wife) or for a couple?
Patong has no real good Go-Go bars, there is some one in Soi Easy I think, with some show, but no nude girls or sex show. The Police have closed the places with good shows. But Patong have several good places like Star world, Banana Club, that is big discos with a lot of local "working girls” and tourists out for girls or just dancing. There is as well Tai Pan and VIP, and a new place that open this weekend. Just south of Patong on the way to Karon you have place called Safari Club, its bit outdoor/indoor place, they have often open late, after 2 AM, any tuk-tuk driver can bring you there, dint pay more than 150 baht (max 200).
Then it is Bangla with all the beer bars.
I also just got back from 5 days in Phuket. It rained every day and I never saw the sun. Still I managed to have some great sex and fun. Let me tell you the trick to not paying to bring girls back to your room is to make a reservation for 2. I do this all the time and when they try and collect, I remind them that I have paid for a room for 2 and this is my girlfriend. It always works and you don't pay anything extra for a reservation for 2 people.
I so much enjoy the ratio of women to men in Patong it has to be 10 to 1 or more. I had great luck in Thai Pan as they are still a great place to go. At night when all the bars close, that is where all the girls go. It is packed wall to wall with girls and the price at this time of the evening goes down and is very negotiable. Star world disco was ok, I met a nice girl there that I enjoyed, but I like a different girl each day in Thailand. Variety is the spice of life. One thing that I do in the disco is buy a bottle. If you order 4 or 5 drinks, you have paid for the bottle anyway. The bottle on your table attracts some nice action. I did see way to many lady boys at Star World and that made me uncomfortable. There was this one girl who danced at the hard rock that was half Indian and half Thai. She was very beautiful and sexy. I enjoyed her so much, she was very talented and gets a major thumbs up if you see her. Christine massage as always was good. For some reason I think my time each visit was shorter then it used to be. I am not sure if this is something they are doing on purpose. I also went to the massage place in Phuket town and had a grea massage there. Nothing like a soapy to put a smile on your face. I cannot wait to go back.
I flew to Phuket on August 15th. Sorry this is so delayed. I've been busy. I purchased a ticket on Air Bangkok on the 13th for about $120 round trip. I used the travel agency very close to Majestic Suites. They were nice enough to have my tickets dropped off at the front desk. Majestic to Airport took about 20 minutes and that was in the afternoon. I allowed 2 hours and I only needed an hour tops for travel, check in and boarding. Airport screeners in Bangkok are a joke. Not that I would ever try to smuggle something. But I think these people aren't cut out for such brain numbing work. Thai are meant to have fun and security screener is a soul sucking job.
The waiting area for Air Bangkok passengers is very nice. It even has complimentary drinks and snacks, even free Internet access. Not that I got to use it. Some people are such pigs. Anyway, we boarded. Now this is the way to fly. The flight attendants are young and lovely. I included a pic for your pleasure. They are all young and lovely and dressed like they give a damn about how they look. So different from the old wide flight attendants back in the states.
It was a 40 minute ride to the hotel in the rain. I stayed at the Patong Villa. What a dump. Someone on this board recommends this place?!? No wash cloths. And the bed is slightly less comfortable than sleeping on the floor. Now a good bed is a must. I like to be comfortable while enjoying the local talent.
Which brings us to the girls. Lots of young lovelies. And I mean lots. The girls and everyone else on the island is far more pushy and grabbing at you to look at their goods for sale. Because I am hungry and tired. It gets on my nerves the first night.
Eventually, I discover the charm that is the bar scene in Patong. It is nice to enjoy the open air bars. The cold drinks and the neat ice cold towellette things. I really like having the games to play with all the girls. It can get old trying to make conversation when you don't speak the same language. I spend a good deal of time with a fun mammason and a very new and cute girl playing connect four and drinking drinks. I am so torn. I was planning on spending time at Star World disco (AKA Star Wars). And picking up a freelancer there. But this girl was seriously cute. But she couldn't speak a word of English. And my Thai is barely better. I decide to stick to the plan and hit the disco.
Enter the Star World. I practically open the place by showing up at 11 PM. I find this is the norm in Patong. Things get swinging very very late. Maybe half an hour later I pick out a sweet little thing in a tight white T-shirt. She is looking very good in the disco lighting. She is with a bunch of girl friends. She is standing by the railing on the mezzanine. I just walked up next to her on the rail. Waited about 30 seconds until she noticed me. Smiled. She smiled. A little chit chat. A little time playing pool. A little groping on one of the couches. And then back to the hotel. Unfortunately, the light in the hotel isn't as flattering as the disco. She has a far less pretty face than I thought. Her body is OK, but it is a little hairy. I decide to use a glide dental dam on her. I'm glad I did. I notice that on her butt are several blemishes and a dry area. Kind of like sun burn pealing. My condom is on and is rolled all the way to the base. And I'm purposefully not penetrating too deep. I took two showers and used plenty of Purrell. Obviously I'm feeling a little too paranoid to really enjoy the sex. I gave her 1000 and sent her on her way. Between the hairy lip and what is that on her ass I should have stuck with the first chick that didn't speak English.
Brothers in Phuket,
I need some important information here.
I'll be going to Phuket i think December 1st for 5 days with 6 friends. First time going Thailand for pure sex so I guess I need help here.
We plan to book a girl one whole day and how much will it cost for 5 days? Besides that if we wan extra massage and sex during that very day for 2 times how much is it?
Living like a King with good food and a good hotel plus TUK TUK charges how much will it be?
Roughly how much will it be enough for Thailand including the air tickets. Please reply by sending me a private message via the WSG Forum's Private Messaging system.
I really need this urgent help. Thanks a lot brothers.
I'm now sitting in an internet place in Patong Beach and the weather has finally turned beautiful. Of course my flite to BKK leaves in 3 hous so the weather is not that important to me. I've only been here two nights and the great seafood keeps bringing me back--OK, the "ladies" too.
Arrived two nites ago from BKK and got to the hotel about 5PM in pouring rain. The hotel Sali Thai is in the heart of Patong Beach, is pretty new, quite nice, and charges no joiner fee for one lady. For more than one at a time, they apparently charge, but I never tried that. The first night, after walking in the rain with an umbrella provided by the hotel, a cute young thing grabbed my arm while walking down Soi Bangla and that was it. She was on break from the Boots and Saddle Beer Bar so we went to her bar, paid the 200 baht fine and she stayed with me for two days. All perversions were available. She wanted 1,000 baht for the nite but I ended up paying her 1,200 each morning. Limited English, not a perfect complection, but a killer body and cute face. Great attitude but the limited English gets old.
Off now for two more nites in BKK. Will post a later report on my three days in Cambodia.
Hi,
I will visit patong in a couple of weeks. Dos anybody have some info about the C&N resort. I can see it is in the south end of town, but how long time will it take to walk to the bar area in center?
I am a newbie in Thailand!
How many girls will have sex without condom? in %
What about anal sex, have many girls do that ? (with condom)
I am not saying that I would fuck anybody without condom and I know about aids.
I think its very nice if the girls would lick my ass. Any chance? Okay I got a nice ass so that shouldent be a problem "he he".
Maybe we will meet in wonderland!
Best regards,
The man who like tiny assholes.

Re: the cost of 5 days debauchery in Patong/Phuket, it really depends on your budget. But to live well I would consider spending a £100 a day ($160 U.S.) This should cover a good hotel, local travel and entertainment of your choosing!
I was there this time last year (returning in 2 weeks) and the ratio of women to men was around 10-1 at least!
Have fun!
Ass Licker:
according to most serious researchers, about 17.32% of Thai working girls will engage in unprotected sex.
49.72 % of the sample, and 12.91% of the total population of reference will agree on anal sex, if paid accordingly.
A definite, but regrettably impossible to determine, proportion of the aforementioned providers will accept to insert their tongue into your anal orifice.
Get real, do your homework and provide information rather than requesting some. Or if you do, at least ask for it politely. This is no Yahoo chatroom.
Hey Seydlitz, can you source those numbers? (You know me -- I love reading through that kind of stuff!)
Joe Zop:
Guess what: that was rather more tongue in cheek than tongue in asshole :°
In fact, and for the benefit of the newbies, I'd say that very many TG will have unprotected sex if you want them to. Many will try to squeeze some extra baht from you, but many won't. Condoms are really not so essential to them, especially in a GFE, or GFI as you so aptly defined..
The burden of protection is squarely on the shoulders of the man in those quarters.
As for anal, many will, many won't. It is no different from anywhere else in the world.
In my experience, once you have a girl who feels comfortable with you, she will take good care of you, and that means she will accept to do pretty much anything you ask her to do. This is one of the essential benefits of GFE, IMHO
LOL! You got me, and good! Should have known better -- but there are those kinds of studies elsewhere, so I just jumped in with both feet.
But amen to your comments -- anyone punting in LOS should simply presume that whomever you're with is a potential source of infection, as though more use condoms than in the past, a large number can be convinced otherwise. It's up to you to stay safe, as these women are simply not always smart about it.
Thanks guys,
The chances of having a nice trip to Patong seem to be good (about 98,17 %)
One thing for sure. The weather are better than in Denmark!
And I agree with the strategi of being polite to the girls "I use to be that" Anyway it`s a good way to get speciel theatment. Okay money can do a lot but not all the work.
Hi,
One more question before I’ll hit Patong.
Could anyone tell something about the possibility of meeting Japanese single woman in Patong?
If anyone got the luck of picking a Jap for sex it would be nice with a little info about how it was.
Best regards
A man who can hardly wait for takeoff
Ass Licker
The chances of meeting a single Japanese woman in Patong is 0.5%
The chance that she will allow you to have sex with her is 0.001%
Have fun!!!
In the news today:
Phuket taxis
Phuket:
Taxis equipped with fare meters will come into service at Phuket international airport next month, said governor Udomsak Asawarangkura.
Private cars operating as taxis and airport limousines would also be required to install meters.
Prasit Amrapal, Phuket transport office chief, said there were currently 700 ordinary cars operating as taxis in Phuket. These vehicles will be required to join two existing companies running taxi services _ Phuket Taxi Meter and Nathong_ to operate properly as metered taxis.
The fare on metered taxis will be 50 baht for the first two kilometres, seven baht per kilometre for a distance up to 22 kilometres, and six baht per kilometres for the rest of the travelling distance.
Ass Licker,
Japanese women in Thailand are just like you and me: they are mongering there.
The vogue among Japanese professional women is to travel as a pack of 5-6 and do their shopping in the male Go-Go bars. This happens routinely in BKK, Pattaya and Phuket.
Contrary to popular belief, Thai male Go-Gos are not gay, for the most part, and even those who are would have sex with a woman for money.
I f you want sex with a Japanese woman, go to Tokyio and be prepared to pay a lot of money, that is if you find one who will, even for money. Japanese are kinda racist you know.
Seydlitz,
How do you know what goes on in male go-go bars? Swinging both ways? Seriously I find it hard to believe that women anywhere would pay for sex, much less travel to pay for it. Even if they're old and unattractive the whole point of sex for women isn't the sex, its the status/power of being in demand, being desired. So paying for it would totally devalue it. Heck paying for it devalues it even for the male monger, but guys are a lot more used to being undesired, so a little fake sex/masturbation with a partner is good enough for us.
And finally, I've always heard that the rare Japanese women who are into sexual adventurism mainly like black guys, or secondarily white guys. Racism and sexual desire are often inverse, particularly if dick size is involved.
SO..Uhhhhhhhhhhh What's the name of that club??
Looks like this "Brotha" Is going to make an impact In Phuket. And, it wont be the color of my skin either. He he he he!!
MeatMan
a quick note about japanese women...there are some serious money spent by japanese women on sex. tehre are host bars in japan where women spend the price of a small car a night on male entertainment. these are mostly married and wealthy women whose husbands have spent thier load up a younger *****s ass. so, i would not be at all surprised if there are japanese women travelling for sex now. believe it or not, there is an article about the host bars in a recent national geographic travel magazine. whats the world coming to???
oh, and one more thing..if u ever watched japanese porn, the japanese porn stars have really small dicks and if thats the size of a porn star, i am not surprised the women travel for sex.
obepo:
i have a few gay friends and i have been several times in those places with them, or with a tg. it is quite common to see ladies in there, every customer is welcome !
i guess that you have never seen the inside of a male go-go bar and would be petrified at the idea of ever getting into one. fear not, nobody is going to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123][CodeWord123][/url] you in there and force-feed some turgid organ up your ass against your will !
have no misconception about women and sex: they are interested in sex for sex; getting pounded real hard by young muscular studs, as they say. and many are devout practitioners of sa's 3fs.
what gets those japanese women interested is the "supermarket for sex" configuration of thailand's adult industry. they do not phantasize about being desired at all, and they care little for other races. asians will do, as long as they are young, inexpensive and compliant.
Gentlemen: This very important topic should be discussed in the Thai Women (?) section or in SA in Thailand section:
1. Host bars: These are very lucrative ventures in Japan. Young studs shale down rich ladies for big $$. The trick to making a lot of $$ at this is to keep the woman drinking and NOT to have sex as that cheapens the experience. The host must string the lady along. Sound familiar? Most women wh frequent these places are in the skin trade themselves. Working in a brithel/skin flick is high pressure and the ladies like to be pampered afterwards. JS is dating one of these angels right now. But the hours are terrible: The earliest she can meet me is 3am, usually around 5 am. This is their busy time of the year. Hey, the course of true love never runs smooth.
2. Japanese women have the morals of alley cats. As have Japanese men. As has John Skinless! They like to experiment sexaully as much as anyone else. Japan is a rich country and the Japanese, who are clanish abroad for a variety of very sound reasons, behave like rich people anywhere. Of course, they fuck around. But they do not go to Thailand to fuck mongering cheap Cahrlies.
3. And John Skinless does not go to LOS to fuck Japanese:)
Well guys, I defer to your greater knowledge on this topic. Opebo hasn't had sex for free in a year, much less ever gotten paid for it. Also the idea of asians as 'muscular young studs' giving a 'real hard pounding' sounded a bit laughable to me, given the size stereotype. I'd always heard the new affluent sexually adventurous asian woman preferred better endowed blacks or whites. In fact the only time I got laid for free in Thailand (other than occasional 'no charges' from hookers) was with a young rich Thai Chinese girl from Bankok. She was clearly looking for a 'falang experience'. But what do I know, maybe there's a whole parallel industry for female mongers out there. I for one have never seen the slightest sign of it however - must be pretty discrete. Or possibly just a male fantasy.
Was in Phuket 3 weeks ago. Went to my favorite gogo bar, the Rockhard A Go Go. As usual, the girls there were all 7s and above with a handful of 9s. Couldn't say I saw any 10's, but my taste was spoiled after my Hong Kong trip where i had a couple of Northern Chinese ( Shanghai and Beijin ) girls that are clearly Vogue coverpage materials. (10+. In general, thai girls are shorter, darker and I assume, not as highly educated. ) In any case, BF two girls the first night and actually hit it off with one of them for the next few nights. Fun was had by me and $$$ was had by her. BF 600 and LT 3000-4000. ( You could get 3000 LT easily, just bargain a little. Some of them will try to make some lame excuses to get out of LT after the first pop. Just stick to your gun and let me go if they want, but pay her 2000 only if that happens ). Great time in Phuket, weather was nice, people were friedly, but the place is not getting any cheaper.
Hello there,
I will be going to Patong in 2 months time. This is my 1st time to Patong, so I would like to gather as much data as possible regarding places of *interest* if u know what I mean whether it's an afternoon session or night session. Other than that, are there any good massage parlour that executes real THAI massage?. But done by girls. I've heard from my friend that there are funny massages like Chocolate Massage. Are there any in Patong?
What about Christins? Is it any good?
Please do furnish me with details.
Your help is much appreciated.

Patong sucks! I have been there 2 weeks ago. It is the most expensive and touristy place all over thailand. There are to many package tourists who stay only 2-3 weeks and overpay the girls. The girls are totally spoilt. But I have to admit that there are many very beautiful girls.

I've heard rumors that Phuket town has some action in various Kareoke bars and other spots. Does anyone have any info on this? I'm in Patong and am looking for a change of pace!
For a complete review of Phuket hotspots do a search for manonthestreet. About six months a go I posted a comprehensive guide for phuket town, karon, and kata.....there should be some function available to find it quickly....
Hello everybody and thanks for doing a good job for this forum.
I have booked a trip to Phuket this saterday and need a few tips. Can anybody tell me about the goldplaces I shall not miss.
I am greatfull for all info.

Christian Massage is a must see for at least once. The first time I went there and got the body massage, I fucking could not believe how sensual it was. The massage itself was better than the sex that followed. However, on my second visit, it kind of got old, but still very enjoyable. Make sure you get friendly with the manager ( they all dress up like they are going to an English cocktail party ) and make sure he understands that you want someone who is good at body massage. Some girls there don't do that and just offer straight sex.
For gogo bar, don't waste anytime, just go right over to Rockhard A gogo. Music is good but drinks are a little expensive. I think the best lookers in Phuket are in this joint. ST 2000, LT 3000. But beware, some of the girls will agree to go LT and then after one pop, they would give you a lame excuse to want to go home for some fake emergency just came up. Just tell them they could go, but you would just pay them ST. They will beg and try to get you to pity their plight. Hang tough, do not give in.
Also,
If you know any Girlfriendly Hotels with higher standars?

I was in patong last night and started late around midnight. it should be noted that the best girls are gone by then and that all or most of the bars close around 2:30AM.
Around 3am still many girls on the streets but man TVs and I was about to desperate when I entered the Kings disco on soi bangla.
Picked up "Tick?", very nice and just what I needed. But no BJ at all, is that a common thing among Thai girls or should I have just asked maybe?
Anyway that was nice. She works off Eric soy normally and was at the disco before going home. Nice session anyway.
I found a very black girl at one of the beer bars. She had a nice body and face so asked her out for ST.
Turned out she doesn't do ST at all 'coz she has an English boyfriend who supports her with 30,000 baht per month plus she goes every day to english school now and will be married soon (hopefully).
So I just sat a bit and talked some shit. Turned out she goes LT with some men if she likes them. Money was clearly not an issue but I volunteered to give her 800 baht 'for her trouble' and to buy makeup, etc.
Plus I just can't stand "FREE" fucks. I am not going to assist make another 'liberated' female. Work for cash. I am going to give to you anyway.
She wanted me to walk with her to her room and shopping, etc. (which I clearly hate). I don't even like walking hand-in-hand with them. Anyway, after some persuasion off we went to MY room.
Then she started playing her head that 'it's up to her whether she will boom-boom me or not, she not decided yet.
It took me an hour just to get the clothes off her. But then she went really wild. She had the second largest clit I ever come across (the biggest was on a Brazilian woman).
She was just one mad fucker. I find it somewhat off-putting when a woman enjoys sex too much so i asked if she would stop the big moaning and groaning and just lay on her back as I fuck her.
Really, they are not supposed to enjoy it too much since I am who's paying so the fun should be mine. otherwise they can pay me. So after about three hours she says" Good Night" and turns to the wall. I say "No Baby, you go home" .I no like sleeping with company.
Off she, out da door. "See me tomorrow?"
"Sure" (NOT!)
Mahal lost on Patong's Soi Bangla
Day 2
For those who are not famliar with the scene Soi Bangla is the main street for action in Patong and it is just unbelieveable.
First the number of girls is incredible, they are everywhere and all are available and generally very friendly and smiling, some real stunners. It is like being a mice trapped inside a cheese, you don't know where to start.
Second, everything is very cheap, maybe 300 to 400 Bahts for drinks and 1000B to 1500B for the girl for all night depending on the time & place of pickup. I have not quite been able to get the girls to do multi sessions though, usually they just wake up and leave in the AM.
Third, there is a party atmosphere that is kind of reminiscent of Cancun or New Orleans for those who have been there, but on infinitely wilder scale and with the sex element which is not necessarily available in the above mentioned places. Here, every girl is available, everywhere. It is unbelievable. Lots of Europeans, I suppose because they have a lot of vacation and the exchange rate is very favorable.
The beach is OK, but not the greatest I have seen, so I would guess people come here more for the bars than for the beach, though the latter is extremely crowded during the day.
Back to Day 2, went to Christin MP around 7PM. It is indeed very easy to find though a prior report located it "behind the Patong Beach Hotel" which may not be the easiest way to locate it (there is actually a bunch of MPs on the other side of the hotel, which is also "behind" depending on where you are. I would say the easiest for a visitor in town is to walk down Soi Bangla which you will obviously be familiar with since it is THE center of the action, away from the beach. Turn right at the first and only main street you will encounter and keep walking for a few minutes, then you can't miss the signs & pink building.
Chistin has 3 windows, 1800B, 2000B and 2200B or something like that depending on the window. Same service but I was politely told the "ugly" girls cost less and the beautiful ones cost more. Nice.. You come in and sit by the fish bowl. There are some huge pillars in the center that will actually prevent you from seeing all the girls (maybe 30 of them) from all but a couple tables so that is not very convenient. After 5 minutes I was asked if I had chosen. One girl kept signaling me, I took her because I did not really see anyone I liked. Overall, I have been to J1 in Bangkok and think the quality was much higher there, the price too BTW.
The girl started by asking me if I wanted to meet her again at night, that is before anything started! Did not like that. 1 1/4h session, nice body body, bath, showers, quick CBJ and finished in missionary. OK but not overwhelming. Then the girl started telling me about her life. My God... They are actually locked into this place night and day and do not have the right to go out. Never see the light, except if a customer wants to take them out. Pimps ("agents" we are talking Mafia here) take all the money and she said she would receive 350B for our session. 3 to 7 customers per day, doctor controls twice a month, 4 girls per bedroom, those who escape get in big trouble and lose their job. Maybe she was BS-ing me, I don't know. Some comments about how people were leaving small tips like 100B or 200B followed I suppose so that I would leave more. I did, I have always been weak. Total cost with drinks & tips 2700B.
Around 9PM I headed to Soi Eric where most of the pretty girls are as previously reported. It is in the middle of Soi Bangla, near the Moulin Rose, which appears to be a Transvestite place, and cannot be missed. Played dice and some other games with girls in the bars. That was a lot of fun. Paid 400B for a couple hours of drinks & chit chat, but I did not like the girls I was with (not the same one who pulled me off the street into the bar) so I moved on to the next place. After a couple more bars went to the Tai Pan bar/disco at 2 AM, they are open later than the other places. I was completely undecided on the girls so I just looked. I finally grabbed one who was dancing nearby and to my surprise she said that she was "tired". I could not believe it... Oh well...
As I was leaving Tai Pan at 3:30AM (closing), 3 girls grabbed me and we headed for dinner in a nearby place. I did not even look at them until we were sitted (I had ingested maybe 20 beers by that time). It was something like the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Since the Good was not my style and I don't do bad or ugly, I said goodnight after dinner and walked the streets at 4 something AM. Not for long... A short cutie grabbed me (I had decided I wanted a tall girl that night but at 4:22AM I changed my vision of the world from vertical to horizontal, so I could convince myself that height would not matter any longer. I did.
She offered 1000B and I accepted. She could not believe it, I am sure I could have bargained easily due to the late hour. In reality, I don't like to at that level ($25 for all night, come on I hope no one will have the bad taste to say I am causing market prices to go up). She went back with me and gave me a delightful and I mean delightful BBJTC. In fact, that answered my own question from yesterday which was whether Thai girls gave BJs at all (most of the time in my experience it is either short or none). That one was great. She stayed until 11AM asking if she could meet me again tonight. I doubt that is going to happen, oversupply situation in Soi Bangla tonight, the customer rules, he wants new...
Mahal reporting from Soi Bangla in Patong.
Mahal, with all due respect I think you're mischaracterizing the situation at Christine's. The girls there are workers -- they can quit anytime they want and leave. The rule is that if they want to work there, be fed and given a room, they must agree to stay inside unless taken out by a customer. Given what Phuket is like (as your report so eloquently points out) and there are TGs and customers everywhere, this means that the management wants them to earn their money inside rather than outside so they get their cut, and that girls who basically attempt to stiff Christine's are not going to be employed there. They're going to keep the customers happy, so the girls can go with them if it's something specific, but otherwise they're protecting their investment (gotta pay for that place, the papasan, etc.) in an unscale market niche where most girls on Soi Bangla undercut them on price.
Do the math for a minute -- 3 to 7 customers a day (figure a conservative average of four for argument's sake) at 350b per means an income of over 40,000baht per month not even counting tips, and room and board on top of that. Add in tips at a conservative 150bath average, and you're talking another 20k. This is all presuming she doesn't also get a base salary, which is usually the case (though I don't know the specifics at Christine's.) Even using my conservative approach, that's a huge income for [i]any[/i] Thai, and it's far, far more than most freelancers are going to make. There are plenty of bad places in LOS where women are truly taken advantage of and where they're either paying off family debts or only getting 100b or less a throw, but someone who's making over $1500USD per month and can quit and leave anytime they want is hardly coerced and under the horrible thumb of the mafia. She was just bitching about boring working conditions -- and small wonder she'd not really want to leave with that income.
Bottom line -- her rap worked half-way. You gave her a bigger tip, (as many probably do after hearing her tale of woe, increasing that income accordingly) but you didn't take her out so she didn't manage to get another 2k or so out of you -- or someone else, if she'd have left you to freelance until she returned to Christine's the next morning.
Went to Banana disco because the laser lights were a bit too much to my eyes in the other disco. It got pretty busy after midnight.
Unfortunately you can't really talk with anyone because of the noise. I am always a bit wary when I can't size a girl up on personality before taking her out. I saw two friends. One was quite nice, very white and sexy body the other one a huge black thai girl.
Can't remember the name so for simplicity just will call the white #345 and the black #346. Without much warm-up I proposed to #345 that all three of us go to my room and have some sex. She turned to #346 to discuss this and replied back to me that it will be okay, 2000baht each.
I said it was too much since I only wanted ST and will give them B1000 each for one and half an hour's work. They accepted so we left together. You know that you have to get a stamp if you want to come back but none of us bothered since it was already beyond 12:30AM.
Turned out that #345 had a scooter. Poor thing cried as we all hopped on it especially as #346 was rather heavyweight, must have been over 75 kilos. This bungalow I stayed in had no security at night. One stupid big mistake.
I even slipped #345 a 20 baht note for petrol and she seemed grateful. In my little room I motioned them towards the shower that we all wash together. #346 the big one said that won't be okay. Then I said they shower together and I after them. Black #346 argued again that they won't shower at all since it was only ST and I can shower alone If I want.
That wasn't quite right with me since they had been dancing there in the disco, they were sweaty and smelly and their feet dirty, I was not to let them on my bed. Also I won't leave them in the room alone while I shower. It all turned into an argument so much that it was totally unsexy of a situation, I told them to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] off, go home or back to the disco.
As usual, big#346 took the lead and demanded that I pay them anyway B1000 each since they were already here and can't go back to the disco without a stamp. That sounded stupid since they did no work at all and I requested them to leave at once. #346 threatened to fight me if I did't pay up. But I am like a mule. I made up my mind and wouldn't budge.
I got a big smacker on the left. It got me quite unprepared. "She" was really huge and furious. It appeared to me at that moment that it could actually be a "he" not a "she". Couldn't say for sure though. My limited choices raced through my tiny brain. If I fight back, they both will be all over me in half a second with their big, sharp nails. There will be blood all over the place. The room destroyed, TV smashed. Guess who will pay for all this?
And I didn't even have a weapon. I had an extending baton in the bag but it was too far. Also would't be enough room to swing it. And that's solid steel. If I kill one, I will be in deep shit. So I just turned to the other girl #345 if she would hit too. She declined. I just motioned them to the door. They left. Still unpaid.
Fucked up my night a bit. Still no fuck though. It happened all in about 20 minutes. Wasn't in the mental state to search for another female so thought of something nice and jerked off in the bathroom (for free!).
Hardly slept a minute. Already paid advance for the room so couldn't leave. I was concerned about their friends returning for the debt the next night so as soon as I got up I wrote the whole story down, photocopied it. Left one copy at reception, dropped one off at the tourist police and kept one for reference. Also went to the Rat-U-Thit street hardware store and bought an axe for 75 baht. It was a bargain. Couldn't have got the handle for that much at home.
It had a nice red label "made in china". Laid it down next to the door and swore to cut the fucking head off anyone not invited trying to get in. Also bought 2 bottles of thai whisky, 6 bottles of cola and 2 bottles of seven-up. So spent the day in bliss. Woke up to darkness again. Slept through the day.
I realized that I must have left the rotten door unlocked. In fact wide open. I checked my posessions in panic. Nothing missing. All the cash there. Except for my fucking axe!
Somebody must be happily cutting wood with it right now!
Take care!
Alexander
day 19,
in krabi:
nothing special except for a fantastic haircut and shave for b70.
tipped the lady b30.
day 20,
moved to phuket-town this morning, checked in at my usual
hotel in the city centre and went straight to patong. of course
there was a taxidriver who tried to convince me that i would have to
wait thirty mins before the bus would leave and that the bus was b50
and his taxi only b200! anyway, i 'waited' for the songthaew to depart,
which took less than a minute. i could hardly get on and it left! it was
only b15 al the way to patong...
in patong: 'hi man, where are you going today?' 'hi brother, i think you
need a belt', 'hello mister, have massage only b500 one hour. special
have, in vip room. b1000 have handjobmassage and foot and face
massage in vip room! you want see vip room?'
no i didn't and i wasn't going anywhere either! some girls in bars
had 'very good' deals: b700 st in upstairs rooms. most girls look like
shit. dzjesus, what is this world cumming to? i had one obvious chance
for a st without barfine or other bullshit, but the girl, who seemed to
have jai dee, had her teeth standing in so many directions it gave me
vertigo. had to pass.
after two hours in patong i had enough and waited for the b15
songthaew back to phuket. on the bus i met two couples who both
believed taxidrivers and took a taxi from phuket-town to go to patong.
please, people: n-e-v-e-r e-v-e-r take a taxi in phuket-town!
anyway, back in phuket-town i went to check out one of
manonthestreets recommended places. a st hotel between sinthavee
hotel and the main postoffice named siamhotel (a room is b180 and the
room i was shown is the only one on the first floor that isn't occupied by
phukets finest: hookers in all shapes and sizes. three asked b500, one
settled for b400. guess who i took:)? i had a very nice hour with full-
sized t from nakhonsithammarat. good hj, really good bj,
damned nice tf and she knew how to fuck too. she loved to show her
big tits and juicy pussy but only allowed one photo, 'face covered with towel'
picture. i will be in phuket for three or four nights, most likely four, so i
should have time to try all the mots recommendations!
btw this is sent from a b20 ic. not the fukken one baht per min/ b40 an
hour in krabi!
day 19 - nothing special except for a fantastic haircut and shave for b70.
tipped the lady b30.
day 21.
i rented a motorbike and went cruisin'. down to panwa, to the cape, the aquarium (closed 'under development') and up to the brand new viewpoint high upon panwa's highest 'peak'.
they' re also building top-end accomodation: fancy hotels and majestic villa's.
i went on to do south phuket. more or less the same story here. plenty top-end development, defiitely no room for bars and gogo's! in south phuket the governor's plans to stamp out cheapo tourism seems to work.
so this cheapo tourist went on to patong.
and while cruising i spotted a girl who spotted me at the same time. so i stopped and we talked a bit.
guess what, she was going to her room and it was very far. hello!!!
i didn't want to raise any false hopes with the girl, like i bring her to her room and nothing happens, so i asked for her st rate. b300.
so i brought nat to her room, where she had to kick out her roommate before we hit the shower. and that was as far as we came. it was a nice big hong naam, so i made sure i had rubbers handy and after a good soaping the fun began. kissing, bj, sum titty rubbin'. she was so good to me she had to be in love:).
anyway, when the fun was over, clothes back on, payment done i brought her to her bar where we said that i just picked her up to bring her there. i had an overpriced sprite (b50!!!) and kindly declined mamasans offer for a b300 barfine+b500 st fee.
who the fuck does she think she's kiddin'?
facts for the visitor:
there used to be a nice bar in patong: mon cherie. i picked up three girls there back in the old days. for b200 you rented a room upstairs or took the girl out. st b500 and lt up to you and the girl. that place is now saxo and the upstairs rooms are now a hotel. roomprice: b1480!!! they've got four rooms and they had a full house!!!
back in phuket-town:
been for a bite and the kind waitress wanted to know where i stay.
so i told her.
then she wanted to know my room number.
which i told her. when she said that she wasn't sure if she knew that room, she did know the hotel, i kindly invited her to visit and a time was set: 1am. or a little later, anyway, after she finished work.
most of the time these deals go wrong: they get scared of ghosts in the dark, in the elevator or just in their heads. or they get scared about what the dear colleagues will say. so i didn't really expect a knock on the door and went to sleep. but a knock on the door did wake me up!
i opened the door and there she was, i didn't even know her name..., and she did seem at least a little scared. but she came in anyway.
it was now all down to my pop - power of persuation.
it took some time to get her settled and fine.
no way she would just take off her clothes to get fucked.
it took a little work, that's fine. once she sat on my lap there was no going back and she let me feel her up a bit and slowly unbutton her shirt and loosen her jeansbutton. time to make my point, so i got up and took a pack of rubbers out of my bag. did i see a twinkle in her eye? i asked for her name.
s.
waitress in the restaurant on the corner...
it was getting close to 2am when she finally was naked, big bush, and i shoved a pillow under her ass. i carefully fingered her pussy. soaking wet! this was a piece of cake after all. then she took my dick and put the condom on. all systems go!
did she need it?
yes, she was fucking air like tinaturner...
and in a minute i was fucking her like crazy. and after a whole lot of pumpin' and kissin' and titty suckin' i came so hard i thought my eyes would pop out.
she stayed till about 3am giving me some good after loving and then took a shower and away she went. sanuk, she said.
well, same from me!
day22,
at 7pm i was back in the restaurant to see how s would react. and have some curry.
s just wanted to know same hotel, same room, same time?
yes, yes, yes!
now i'm just hoping she will show up like last night. i want to see if i can take it a little further, like some more foreplay from her...
day 23,
this morning the knock came a little later than yesterday, 2am, but i still had to follow the same cautious procedure to get her ready.i got her to gently chackwow my parts with both hands and it made me feel ever so sanuk. after a good lenght of time she got up and went to the bathroom, leaving a big wet spot where her pussy had been...
she returned and took a position that clearly indicated she was ready for some good old-fashioned missonary stuff. i wasn't, i wanted her on top, so i lifted her up and placed her just on target.
woosh - gone!
damn, she wet!
she rode me a bit and i pumped up to meet her moves. had to stop for a while tho, to turn up the fan to speed 2. she then urged me to go on top, and so it was. when i got a chance to look down i saw an ever growing wet spot.
hell, there is always the other bed to sleep in!
things got to a level where it almost rained when i doggied her. poor waitress came so hard she cried.
but in the proces she almost cut off the bloodflow to my dick, so (for the first time this trip?) i was forced to switch to manual for release.
i had some manuals before, but those where aimed at glazing the donut!
after a shower she said she wanted to sleep in my room and she took the wet bed.
good for me!
she split around 5am and i slipped her a b100 note.'for taxi'.
Hi All,
Where do you all mostly stay when you are at Patong beach (I am going there this Saturday 31/1/04) . I guess what is most important is clean bathroom/toilet in the room, guest friendly, no curfew, [electonic] SAFE in the room, close to nightlife, no too far from the beach, clean, and good staff.
budget: 800-1400B
I looked in the forum and the only recommendation I could find was sunbreeze.
Is it easy enuff to just turn up at Patong Beach this w'end and look for a place or do I need to book in advance?
Thanks,
Mark
Freeler,
You are the bomb baby! I have gots to be your protege!
KG
Try this place, Thai run very friendly. The chap who owns it is called Tuy. Prices 600 to 900 bht. Best rooms are at the front.
Very close to the action, 50 yards from Soi Eric.
Good idea to email him or you can take your chance. Lots of other places in same road at similar prices.
http://www.phuketdir.com/siamhouse/
KG,
I always stay at the Boomerang Inn. It's only about a 3 minute stroll from the beach and is located in a quieter area. Close, but not too close to the noisy mongering area, about 7 minute walk. Great value, simple, clean and helpful staff. Owned by a Thai lady and her Australian husband. http://www.phuket.com/boomeranginn/
Vchip,
I assume that Boomerang Inn is also "guest-friendly", which means no problems and overcharge for bringing in "guests" during the night .. (?)
Joe Zop,
Point well taken. I felt sorry for the girl, which was probably the reason she told me this story in the first place. I noted the inconsistency in her account, i.e. she was not allowed to go out of Christin's and did I want to go out with her...
Still learnin' after all these years!
Hi Lads,
I'm thinking of visiting Phuket for the first time in June, does anyone know a good hotel that is:
In Patong area, near nightlife.
Guest friendly---no joiner fees.
Priced up to 1800 baht a night.
Also how does Phuket compare with Pattaya?
Hi guys,
I'm going to Thailand for two weeks March 1st till the 15th. Going to BKK. For 4 nights then to Pattaya for the rest of time. Question is how long to Phuket from Pattaya? Best way to go? And stay?
Thank you,
Ramster
Pattaya and Phuket are both great places to visit. I normally do 5 days in each place. Pattaya is bigger with tons of bars but it's not as clean or scenic as Phuket. Phuket is more expensive but I think it's worth it. Start out with a bang and go to Pattaya first, then fly down to Phuket (1.10 min flight from Bangkok). Pattaya has many more singles, where Phuket is more family orientated.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Iahnrt
Ramster,
To get to Pattaya from Phuket you will need to fly to Bangkok (1 hour 15mins) and then get a cab to Pattaya, roughly 2 hours and a fare of about 1200 baht.
Ramster,
If your Phuket-BKK flight arrives just before 12noon or 7pm, the best, totally hassle free option is the ThaiLimousineBUS(!) for B200.
Check the Thailimousine website for details:
http://www.thaiair.com/thailand/limousine/fares.htm#Schedule
Ramster,
I think there is a way to fly from Pattaya to Phuket with Bangkok Airways. No need to go back to BKK, but they might have a stopover in Samui, which is on the flightpath anyway, and a great destination on its own.
Thank you all, you guys are great!
Dear Fellow Thailand Posters,
Read this and be aware of whom you think you went to bed with the night before. Don't be afraid to check again in the morning!

The horror of the morning after.
PATHUM THANI: Some people may be familiar with the surprise of waking up on the morning of New Year’s Day to find an unexpected creature lying beside them in bed.
Few, however, take the trouble to report such incidents to the police. Fewer still are the cases where police haul the offending bedmate off to jail.
Pol Lt Col Sarawut Netriyanon, Superintendent at Tambon Suan Prik Thai Police Station, was as surprised as anyone on January 1 when he was called to a rented room by 23 year-old Thip Nethip, who said that there was a monstrous creature asleep on his bed.
Investigations swiftly established that the “monster” was a bright-green iguana, 50 centimeters long and weighing in at a meaty five kilograms. Not knowing what to do with the reptile, Col Sarawut took it back to the station.
Fearful that the vegetarian lizard might harm local children – iguanas have long, sharp talons – officers there locked up the creature in a prison cell while they waited for wildlife officials to come and collect it.
I am just back to Bangkok from Phuket and although i stayed with a couple of bangkok bar girls apartment for 300THB/night and watched them play cards and gamble all day I also got some insight from them. They go to Phuket to make more money. They go to Phuket to get away from anybody in Bangkok that will see them running around with other men and report it to their boyfriend overseas who may or may not be sending money.
I spent some time at Tai Pan nightclub in Patong an area that has just grown like a gigantic wart. Tai Pan is where free lancers go. I felt the quality of girls was fair to midland. The tourists that go to Phuket with thier foriegn vacation budgets have basically ruined the place therefore there is price gouging everywhere. I am told of police are running alot of businesses in town and are opportunists when it comes to nabbing a farang.
Many of the girls selling it in Phuket are from Esan places like Udon Thani so you are generally not tasting local meat. The common thais that go there on vacation get gouged too.
Also be carefull on your rented motobike as to not get in an accident. Also the water is cleaner than Pattaya and there are multiple beaches to get to if you like to explore. All the reefs are broken and that is sad but there are nice fish to see. As far as hotties I would say I saw one in ten.
All I can say is that i am really happy to be back in Bangkok.
If you rent a motorbike and get into an accident that damages the bike, get it fixed before you return it to the rental agent. I've heard of rental agents charging up to ten times the actual cost of getting a bike repaired. It's usually very inexpensive to get a bike repaired yourself and their are lots of repair shops.
Good tip Duckman.
My bro and I ran into the same thing on Roatan. Should have done as you suggest.
FD
Last time I was in Phuket, some local friends of mine took me to the City Hotel downtown Phuket, and it was a real eye opener!
Took me up to the 4/F and walked down the long corridor of the floor and saw that each of the rooms had a couple/three really stunning looking girls inside - with the door wide open. Led me to the end of the corridor into a suite and then all these girlds started streaming in - and I had to choose!! And I mean, how does one chose between love goddesses and beauty queens - literally! I found out that this 'establishment' is patronized by all the richest businessmen and high ranking political / military / police / government etc officials in Thailand. The deal is Baht 3,000 if you just go upstairs with one of them or Bht4,000 if you took one out - which I did. We then proceeded to a jazz bar - suppossedly the "hottest' place in Phuket for the locals and proceeded to party with my friends and our newly found "friends" - with all the male eyes staring at us - especially these gorgeous girls! And I mean these girls of ours even satisfied our chinese Friend who's had extensive mongering experience with the best girls in the whole of Asia! It was great in that I knew that I had the best looking gal in the joint, and let her loose to do whatever she wanted to do - knowing full well that I will "HAVE" her later on! And HAD her I of course did - and she was superb - truly deserving of the accolades that my friends promised when they took me to City Hotel.
Spent the whole night with her doing everything possible and then sent her off in the morning with an extra Baht800 taxi fare! What a night to remember!
SE Asia Joe,
800 Bt "Taxi Fare" .... where was she taking the taxi to? Bangkok!
By giving Bt 4,000 at City, you already paid top $$$ (Bt 2,000 is more the going rate in, 2,500 take away), and a "Taxi Fare" (tip) of another 200 would be more than generous!
Ooooops! Are you sure that the prices you quoted are correct? I went to City with a couple very established "players" in Phuket - and the Baht 3,000/4,000 are the prices they told me. They really, really should know for as I said, they are very well established local businessmen. The night before, they took me to Patong and I got 'serviced' o/n by "just an OK girl" for Baht 2,000 and thus I figured that the slightly higher price for these stunners was well worth it. (They also paid the same price for theirs). On the Baht 800 "Taxi Fare" yeah - I definitely know that I was being overly generous as my friends had told me that Baht 200 - 300 would have been enough - but I was totally over the moon over my "friend" and I figured - heck why not!
I apologize to one and all here if I had been guilty of "spoiling the market" - But I really am dying to find out others' experience (and price) for City.
Thanks beforehand,
SE Asia Joe
Is there a specific red light area where I can find street girls in Phuket Town Centre, or do I need go to a bar or hotel.
The taxi fares in phuket are rather expensive. Unless it is a moto taxi they are referring to a tuk-tuk, the four wheeled variety. It is about 300 to 500 baht to get just about anywhere on the island [airport to patong, patong to phuket town, etc.]. Moto Taxi's are just as cheap as Bangkok. Should you decide to get a rental bike be fucking careful.
Any discoteque will have a bevy of girls floating about [banana, tiger, star world], and the best action in Patong is at the intersection of Rat-U-Tit rd and Bangla Rd. Grab an ice cold singha from the 7-11 and hover about on soi san sabai. At 2:30 am there will be at 'least' 500 beauties waiting for you. Every shape, size, and kink. 500 baht and up depending on your appearance, thai skills, and negotiating skills....
Down Soi San sabai is 'superstar' and 'Didi's cafe', they stay open 24/7 and when you need to go to the bathroom or want to sit down pop in there.
Don't miss 'PHUKET's best hamburger' stationed on said corner adjacent to the 'Thai Pan disco' every night at about 11:00 pm.
Boy do I miss living in Phuket. The only thing better than that corner at about 2:30 am is RIO.
happy mongering fellas.....
Hi all,
Arriving in Phuket in June (low season?) and have narrowed down my (cheap, guest friendly) hotel options as, Orchid, C&N, Expat, Boomerang and Siam House. Any recommendations?
Also, because its low season, would it be better to just rock up and negotiate price rather than book ahead.
Cheers.

[b]30 Mar -- Morning[/b]
Boarded Asia Airlines bound for Phuket at 10:30 this morning with my little bundle of Joy in tow. Now, I'm sure some of you are already thinking, "Why is this dumbass bringing along a girl when there are plenty on offer locally?" In case you haven't read my posts in the BKK thread, this particular girl is a perfect 1000 on most people's 10 scales, a total sweety and a complete nympho. Oh, and, since I rented her by the month, I don't want to waste the baht.
For anyone planning a trip down here, I recommend flying into BKK and then booking your flight via Asia Airlines. It's not luxury, but the ticket was only 1800BT one way. I was quoted 2500BT one way by Thai Air. I'd tell you how the food was, but, well, you'll read.
Anyway, today, I fullfilled a couple fantasies...
#1) As soon as the fasten seat belt sign went out, I had my sweety head to the head and told her to wait for me. I followed a very short while later and was soon banging away inside her tight little twat while we stood there in that cramped little cabin. I'm glad she's so small. I can now say I'm a member of the mile high club :) x1
#2) Got to the hotel, dropped luggage, changed (took a bit of convincing to get Joy to wear her 1 piece bathing suit that she brought along because 'I shy') and headed for the beach. If any of you happened to be on Karon Beach this afternoon around 4:00 and saw a dork, chest high in the water, with a huge, shit-eating, grin on his face and a very gorgeous TG plastered against him, that was me fucking my sweety in the warm waters of the Andaman sea :) x2
#3) Back to the hotel where a shower turned into a fuck in the shower which turned into an anal fuck in the bed. It's taken me several days and a lot of playing, licking, fingering, but I just popped my first anal cherry :) x3
Don't know when my next report will be. I don't have an internet connection in my room, and I don't want her to see me typing this stuff. I also wasn't planning to come to Phuket, so I need to spend some time reading this thread before I go out punting.
Just a bit of info on hotels in Phuket:
[b]Karon Cafe[/b]
Overpriced (1200bt/night w/breakfast) and the room was a bit dirty. No internet. The shower is just a shower head sticking out from the wall next to the toilet and the sink is right next to that. There
s air-con upstairs, but downstairs, where you would spend most of your time, there's only a ceiling fan. Having to climb a very steep, curving, flight of stairs to get to and from my bed was too much; I figured that if I had to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] in the night I might break my neck on the way to the bathroom. Staff was pleasant though. Stayed one night and checked out in the morning.
Wouldn't recommend it.
[b]Sea Breeze Inn[/b]
Good price (800bt/night w/breakfast included) for a decent sized clean room. They advertise that they have internet, but, what this means is that you can buy cards for an ISP at 7-11 and they will not charge you 3BT/minute for the local call. They'll only charge you 1BT/10 minutes. Nice sized shower (good for fucking) and a big bed.
So far, I'd recommend it unless you need a fast internet connection in your room.
Anyone know a good hotel in Phuket, less than 1500BT/night, that has in room broadband internet?
Another good use for bar girls...
Just before walking into the inet shop, I witnessed a bar girl save her ST friend from certain death. Said monger, obviously very drunk, walked right out in front of an oncoming truck. Luckilly his sweety was in need of her nightly fee becaue she quickly yanked him back out of harms way. He didn't even seem to notice the jerk or the blaring horn.
Guys, be safe out there. There won't always be a bar girl around when you need her to yank you.
PNG, it looks like you are the hero these days. Your posts are a lot of fun to read, thanks, keep' em coming. Looking forward to hearing about her experiences scuba diving.
BTW, are you a Lakers fan?
1Ball,
LOL, Pretty fun way to become a hero :) Glad you like my posts, I have fun keeping my diary.
Yeah, I'm a Lakers fan. Been watching them since I was old enough to sit on my grandfather's knee (at least that's what my parent's tell me). It's finally looking like a good season to be a fan :) I'm just hoping Kobe's shoulder stays healthy.
[b]1 April -- afternoon[/b]
I finally found something my little bundle of Joy wouldn't do :( We found ourselves all the way at the eastern end of Rawai beach (at least I think that's the beach's name) where there are big rocks and no one around. Apparently, this is where the locals go to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] and shit, and the smell was not too pleasant, but there was a spot that had pretty good cover, and I tried to get her to give me some head. She wouldn't do it, but I'm not quite sure if it was the smell or the openness, but I think it was just the smell because we've boinked in the ocean twice already and that elicited giggles.
Anyone know a beach, here or in Krabi where I could get some alone time to live out a fuck on the beach (in daylight) fantasy?
Also, while we were motoring along on the little moped I rented, I was thinking, I wish she had a dress. I could put her in front of me and teach her to drive a stick :) Anyone ever try something like this?
Go up to Naiharn Beach -- very crowded but off to the right below the huge resort is an outcropping of rocks. You can scramble over the rocks and have a private area -- your own private little beach depending on the tide.
Also when in phuket don't miss a chance at visiting Surin beach. This has the hardest waves and is perhaps the least popular of beaches. I always thought of this as the 'thai beach'. Every time I went there I found more thais than falangs enjoying the water. Imagine that thais out at a beach. Go towards the north end for some privacy.
Bring Joy into Phuket Town for dinner, drinks, and dancing at Kor Tor Mor. Enjoy Phuket PnG it is changing too quickly....
Thanks for the info Naiharn. Unfortunately, I probably wont' get a chance to use it this trip now :( Just booked trips to Pi Pi and James Bond Island for the next two days before I head to Krabi.
I hear you about Phuket changing too fast. It's noticeably more Bangkokized since I was here just a year ago. There seem to be many more pushy tuk tuk drivers and hawkers. It's amazing how many 'friends' I have when I walk down the street: "Hello, my friend! Come look at my shitty shit that I want to sell to you for too many baht!"
Still, it is beautiful here, so I can't complain :) I have some amazing photos (the kind I can show my family) and the water is soooo warm and clear.
PNG,
PhiPhi and JamesBond Island: Never mind the crowds, these places are still beautiful.
There are some deserted beaches on the NE of Phuket island, beyond the GibbonRehabilitationCentre, and even near SarasinBridge. But please do remember that public nudity in Thailand is a big NO-NO! So you will have to fuck your Bundle of Joy with your clothes on:(...
Around Krabi: forget about empty beaches. Perhaps a privat boattour to one of the islands is an idea. You will just have to find a way to stop the nosey boatdriver from following you on the island... Boatprices, see pic
PNG and 1ball,
I'll be in Phuket right at playoff time, May 6th to ? for diving, mongering etc. Do either of you (or you too Freeler) know of a sports bar on the island to watch the games ?
Rest in peace Chick.
Freeler,
Thanks for the continued good info on this area. I've been lurking and learning. It's been 3 years since I was in Phuket and never been to Krabi. This trip for sure. Will you be in town ?
FD
Firedick,
"I've been lurking..."
You don't do yourself justice, being the longtime PI poster you are!
Many, almost all, bars in Patong have satellite tv and most, if not all, prefer to show sports of some sort, mainly via ESPN.
I'm just presuming that 'playoff' has something to do with sports, right? Shouldn't you be off playing yourself...?).
There are one or two expat oriented places in Phuktet with satellite as well, but Patong is your best bet.
Freeler,
Thanks for the info and kind words.
As to what I should be doing around playoff time, I just don't have the stamina that I used to. Twice a day is plenty for me so that leaves a lot of recovery time. Perfect for a cold Amarit and a basketball game, hopefully with one of Skinlesses rejects on my arm. BB1 ?
I posted on the "Travel Plans" board, if anyone is interested in beers and lies.
FD
Firedick,
I've yet to find a place that played a basketball game. Of course, given thte time difference, most basketball games are taking place around 8-10AM, so the bars aren't open. Plenty of Soccer though.
Want a Skinless reject? Dude, stay away from the Karon beach bars. I'm staying in a hotel room over here, and there's nothing but old and ugly as far as the eye can see (not very far given the closeness of the buildings). I've taken to wearing sunglasses at night if I have to walk through the area. The reverend must think he's in heaven when he visits this place :)
There's a place here called Blue Moon Massage. I stopped in last night while my bundle of Joy was shooting mummies (I let her play only after she's gotten me off at least 4 times). There's a small fishbowl that quickly filled with about 5 or 6 girls. You're really close to the fish bowl and the girls are really close to the glass. They all seemed very eager, which is a good thing, but they also all seemed like candidates for the reverend's wet dreams. Not sure how much it costs because I hightailed it back to my room for a little bit of Joy.
Sknless,
I thought the young pretty ones were the rejects?
[b]03 April[/b]
I keep expecting to get bored with Joy (usually happens with any girl after a week) but she keeps showing me new tricks--kinda like scheherazade.
Though the open ocean fucking has gotten stale, today she gave me a fantastic blow job in the back of the minibus after the rest of the passengers had gotten out. I thought she was just stretching out to nap or something, but once her head was in my lap, she got to work and got me to pop in the short span of driving time from Patong to Karon. I resisted the temptation to clean myself with the 20 baht I was gonna use to tip the driver :)
Free - "playoff" is 'Murcan for "sports elimination tournament" (usually professional sport)
The winner advances and the loser goes off somewhere to play with themselves until next year ;-)
not mongering info, but i figure it might be useful to some of you:
took two trips over the past few days. one to james bond island (with canoeing by a guide included) and one to phi phi island (including the bay where they filmed the beach). both trips were great.
the bond island trip was kind of a leisurely sightseeing trip with lots of picture opportunities but not much unstructured time. there were only about 15 people on board a double decker boat, so there was space for everyone. the canoeing was great because someone else did the paddling and pointed out wild life and terrain features (including a stone shark).
the phi phi trip was spectacular for the scenery and provided some good snorkeling. unfortunately, the trip was made with about 30 people packed onto a speedboat and i felt rushed until the last stop of the day. the beach used for the beach was only alloted about 20 minutes. the boat barely slowed at some locations that would have been great photo ops. got to see some neat tropical fish, and my bundle of joy found she likes this activity better than video games. hopefully that will get her further along the road to getting dive certified. anyway, the last trip of the day was about 2 hours of unstructured time on a beach, but, again, it was just too crowded for my tastes.
both trips are worth taking, but, if you can only do one, i recommend the james bond island canoe trip for it's leisurely pace.
the price for these trips, as listed on the flyers, would have been 2200bt/person/trip for a total of 8800bt. as with everything in this land of begging smiles the price is negotiable. now, i know that freeler would have had them paying him to allow them to take him on the trip, but i'm pretty happy with having paid a total of 4600bt. point is, negotiate for everything :)
PurpleNGold,
As long as you know that I'm watching you...:D!
You paid for and got the premium. Cool.
There are however trips on a 'normal' boat to do the PhiPhi tour, with a transfer to another boat either on PhiPhiDon, the main island, or PhiPhiLay, the small one. These trips are way cheaper and perhaps they are not offered in Patong...
You got to see the The Beach beach, which is something of a rarity - most captains decide the waves are too high and say sorry 'we no go today - tomorrow waves ok'.
The JB tour is just sooo wonderful...
BTW, while you're spending: Have you considered taking a junk trip in the AndamanSea - see pic?
Freeler,
It'd be fun to sail around on that thing. Is it just a sailing trip around the bay for photo ops? Or do they stop for other activities?
[i]On to the report, the first part of which is basically notes on the Patong nightlife...[/i]
[b]05 Apr (part 1)[/b]
On my last night in Phuket and I figured I owed it to the WSG to go out and do some research, and, since Joy had been worn out by the snorkeling trip, she was only good for two pops, so I popped 50mg of V (just to make sure I wasn’t gonna waste my baht), locked away the Playstation’s power cord (rules are rules), and was soon situated in a Tuk Tuk on my way to Soi Bangla in Patong.
Bangla is pretty cool; I like the sub-soi’s with a bunch of bars all running together. There are a few girls at each bar that act as touts. There’s a pretty good mix of old and young girls, and various sizes, so I’m pretty sure everyone can find what they want. I was in research mode at that time, so I just wandered up and down each sub-soi, ignoring all the pleas of so many ladies who obviously thought I was the most handsome man they’d ever seen :)
I was hoping to get in two short times tonight--one human-slip-n-slide and one bar girl. With this in mind, at the end of Bangla (farthest from the beach), I took a right onto whatever street that is and headed over to Christin’s. It’s about a five minute walk through a pretty quiet area (at least at that time of night).
Christin’s was cozy inside and there was absolutely no pressure from the staff. I’m not sure if this is there MO, or I got lucky walking in behind 3 Japanese guys who drew all the attention. Anyway, Christin’s talent pool was about as good as Darling’s, which is to say ‘severely lacking’. Despite most of the girls trying hard to get selected—waving and smiling—there were only two who were my type, and they were both so fixed on the television that I couldn’t get any eye contact. I suppose that’s a good indication of what their service would have been like. I waited a while to see if any new talent swam into the fishbowl, then bailed. Oh well, can’t say I’d recommend the place, but, seeing as I couldn’t find any other soapies in the area, I’ll say that the majority of the girls seemed enthusiastic, which is a positive.
Okay, with the V pretty much in full gear now, so that, even the street food vendor lady gave me a hard on, I headed back to Bangla to bag a bar girl.
In the name of research, I stopped in the first go-go bar (Smokin Joe’s or something) just to have a look see. \It was a pretty small set-up. A mirror behind the stage gave the appearance of more girls, but there were only 5 on stage and about 3 or 4 hanging out near the door, all clothed in bikini’s and none seemed very interested in the customers. Finished the water I ordered and then left without so much as even one girl stopping by to say hi.
Checked out ‘Dragon’ bar. It was virtually empty. It was about 11PM, so I’m not sure when it would get busy. I did like the way it was set up. It seemed very spacious inside. There were pool tables near the front door, a bar and then the dance area in the back. I wish it’d been a bit more full because I would have liked to stay there a while to pick up a pretty.
This is getting long, so I’ll post a second part later to report a successful end to the hunt :)
[b]Apr 05 (part 2)[/b]
I’ve become rather picky, so it took a while, but, after wandering up and down, back and forth, I finally found a girl who managed to strike my fancy. She wasn’t gorgeous, but she was cute and very tiny except for what looked to be an outstanding rack (which turned out to be an outstanding rack). Her name’s Tig, and she’s from Laos (“Shhhh…”). We played a couple games of connect 4, while dickering for price and services.
Finally settled on 700BT for 2 pops. I tried hard, but she absolutely refused to go down to 500BT. One nice thing though is that she offered her own room so that I didn’t have to pay for a short time room. I paid her 200BT barfine and we headed out. We took a motorbike on a 5 minute ride, and, when we arrived at her place (a room that she shares with 5 other girls), she paid the driver, really cool of her.
I was excited to see whether her titties would live up to the cleavage that her blouse showed off. When she disrobed, they certainly did: big, firm, D cups on a girl who’s maybe 4’, 90lbs are spectacular. She let me play with them for a long time and they were sensitive (or at least she acted like they were).
Moved onto DFK, then bbbj which she did with a lot of motion, slobber and cute little moaning. She only got about half way down the pole, but had good suction and let me blow in her mouth. She didn’t manage to get it all and it looked hella sexy when she smiled at me with cum dripping off her lips and chin.
She took me into the shower and cleaned me off before we went back to the bed and cuddled a while and I fingered her to an O (had the juices on my hand to prove it). Couldn’t get more than 2 fingers inside because she was too tight :)
After her O, I was ready, so on went the rain coat and oil, and in went the V inspired soldier. Here’s an interesting side effect I’ve noticed when I’m on V. Quite often, I’ve managed to O without cumming. This happened twice with Tig, so I was pumping her for well over 45 minutes before finally blasting my load (3rd O). She claimed to have had lots of O’s herself, but I don’t know for sure.
She let me snap some pics of her gorgeous breasteses, but I had forgotten my cam so only had my phone to do it with. Bummer because the photo quality is very shitty. I’ll post them anyway once I get back to an area where my phone gets a signal (I need to e-mail them off my phone).
After another shower, we tuk-tuked back to soi Bangla where she, again, paid the driver and I tipped her an extra 100BT before saying goodbye with a good DFK.
I tuk tuk’d back to Karon where Joy was awake and greeted me at the door in her birthday suit. She was in a mood to earn her playstation rights. She gave me a shower, washed me head to toe, front to back, then, as I was still hard on V, sucked and fucked me silly for two hours and 3 pops before asking if she could play video games.
For [b]very[/b] senior members who have contributed a LOT of good info, I got Tig’s contact info and can provide very specific info on finding her (sub-soi and bar). PM me if you’re interested, but don’t bother if you’re not in the category of member I already mentioned.
Name: Tig (Soi Bangla)
Age: claimed 25, my guess is 27 or 28
Height: 4’/90lbs
Measurements: 26D-26-26 (Guess, but the proportions are right).
Looks: Cute and tiny with absolutely fantastic tits. No kids, so no scars. A small scorpion tattoo on the front of her left hip.
10 scale Looks/Attitude/Service: 6/9/9
Cost: 700BT + 200BT bar fine + 100BT tip = 1000BT
Pros: Tiny is my type, good BBBJTCIM, tight twat took the total trench digger
Cons: No anal. It was my last night in Phuket :(
Recommend: definitely
PurpleNGold,
"even the street food vendor lady gave me a hard on" - So why the hell didn't you fuck her? For B300 she would have been yours 'forever':).
The idea of the junk trip is to lounge, take a swim, bone the girl below deck, eat some fruits, lounge, watch the sunset over PhiPhi, bone the lady below deck, see the moon shine through her silky hair...
It doesn't take rocketscience to figure that out, it takes just a little money to have the experience.
Dear Seniors,
Can anyone of you mongers suggest which hotel in Koran area to stay? I'm thinking about a 5 days stay here and have a budget around Bt1,000 for a least a 4 star hotel.
Please advise as I'm thinking of booking in advance and expect to arrive somewhere 5 weeks from now.
Pls advise my dear comrades.
Seniors,
Please advise what is affordable rate for a 3-4 star hotel in Karon Beach area as I'll be there in 5 weeks times for some good mongering.
Will it be cheaper to book in advance or arrive and start looking for one?
Thanks mongers!
Guy M,
Check out phuket.com. Lots of hotel info.
Good luck.
FD
Guy M,
Not sure about a 3-4 star, but the hotels in Karon are decent. There is a cluster of bars, shops, restaurants and hotels right near the Karon beach.
My recommendation is the Sea Breeze Inn. The staff was very courteous, the room was clean with air conditioning, they have a nighttime security guard and there was no joiner fee. It's about a 5 minute walk to the beach and there are food vendors who make good Som Tom, grilled chicken and assorted meats on a stick along the way.
Don't be fooled by the advertisement for Internet though. What they mean is that you can buy a dial up card from the local 7-11 and they will only charge you 1BT/10min for internet calls as opposed to the 3BT/min voice call.
Enjoy.
Guy M,
I've stayed at the Karon Whale Resort and it's quite nice. I believe I paid around 1500 baht per night. I first booked another hotel with one of the travel agents but I didn't like it so I looked around the next day and this was the best value I found.
It has a pool and a restraunt next to the pool. I've stayed there two or three times.
There are some smaller hotels not far from this hotel that have nice rooms that are less money but they don't have a pool. They generally run 1000 baht high season and 500 baht low season.
PupleNGold, Duckman & FD,
Thanks for the info.
Have found my place at Karon Princess Hotel at Bt1000 per/night whihc is very reasonable considering it's a new place with almost full facilities. The website provided are a handful.
Promise to give my full report when I'm there MONGERING, LOL!
Rgds
PNG
I am building a house in Krabi and spend a lot of time there.
For private beaches, you can hire a longtail boat to take you on a time basis - I think 800 baht for a half day and 1500 for a full day. They will drop you off on one of the islands - Poda is good, but there are several others.
Take supplies for eating and drinking as most of the islands have no concessions.
Even if he drops you off in a busier part of an island of your liking, you can walk away from the crowds quickly and find some privacy. If you are leaving from Ao Nang, Poda is about 20-30 minutes offshore. It, and all most of the islands in the area have good snorkeling too.
Seeing as you have company already, you might want to consider staying in Klong Moang Beach, as it is much less developed than Ao Nang and you can get into the bars and restaurants in about 20 minutes.
Guy is the Karon Princess Hotel girl friendly? Do they charge for a guest?
Thank you
Ramster,
Mate, I'm a virgin as this is my first trip there. I'll know when I'm there if there is additional charges for guest but i suppose they will as this is a norm practice here in Thailand.
Seniors,
What is the acceptable charges for guest in hotel over on this island?
Pls advise us virgins.
Hi brothers at WSG,
My brothers and I plan to visit Phuket on May 7th. Can you all guide us to the rite babe spot? Any nice place to pick up nice babes? Please advise.
Thanks a million.

Le Meridien Beach Resort-
I have a free room voucher for the Meridien chain, just wondering if anyone's ever dropped by the hotel. I know it's out of the way from the "main" area but it looks real nice.
The hotel reviews stress the word family, so I doubt you can bring a TG to your room.
-DVS
Junior88,
Check the above tab "Term & Abbreviations". RTFF
Beyond that, go to Bangla street in Patong Beach and you'll find everything you want and some shit you don't.
FD
For long tail boats, I paid 500 Bahts the last time to go to Paradise Beach from Patong Beach for half a day. I had the boat for me only.
I'm sure you can get it even cheaper if you speak a little thai.
That's a better option than risking your life on a motorbike.
Latrell
Latrell2,
B500 for half a day isn't bad at all. Not many boatdrivers will take less. For comparison, have a look at this photo taken in Ao Nang (near Krabi).
http://www.wsgforum.com/vforum/attachment.php?postid=199517
Hi guys,
is there any nice 4-5- star resorts or hotels or smaller places with nice rooms and apool with a guest friendly attitude? Tried Holiday inn before, great hotel (especially the busakorn wing), but not girl friendly policy.
Last year I stayed in Thara, they started charging for girls from November onwards. Did they go back for the low season?
At the end of Bangla, directly behind Tai.Pan they built a new hotel. Is it ready and friendly?
Any other recommendations??
CU Mike
P.S. anybody around second half of May for a beer?
Michi,
You've got 1 or 2 posts that offer info to others, so I suppose you're not totally bad. However, re your last post: [b]RTFF!![/b] The same question was posted, and answered on this same page!
PNG,
OK, sorry for that, I was not around the forum for a while, so did not read too much.
... maybe I lost the connection a bit and wanted to cut the reading time.
... will improve and also share a lot of info after the upcoming trip,
Mike
...btw.: one of the nicest racks in Phuket is Nut from Hard Rock, I am dying to come back to see her, even if the place is expensive!!
Michi,
When you book a room, and as well when you check, in ask for a double room and tell that it be two persons are staying in the room. I usually book the room for two, if they ask where my partner/wife is when I check in I tell them that I have not found her yet, but she is coming tonight!
That way I usually never pay extra for "guests" at my room, even at hotels like Tara Patong, or other hotels that usually charge extra for that.
I will be back in Phuket by that time, if you want to go an grab a beer one night.
Hi,
I just got an email from Thara, they would wave the joiner fee in low season, but the girl has to be regiustered or leave the ID.
Beside Salathai is better: the emmail sais: No problem, but if you bring two at once, we have to charghe the breakfast!.
Will go there!!
CU
Mike
Help!
What is the best all round hotel or resort to stay in Phuket. I am bring a Business friend with me ( friend in business, who is a Thai Girl) for a long weekend of fun. Her parents own one of the business I do business with in Bangkok and we are looking to go to Phuket for some fun. Not concern about the local action. Just looking for a nice place to stay for some fun both in and out of the bedroom. Not to concern about the price, just a great place to have a honeymoon type of experence with a friend.
JimHart, a honeymoon ?!?!?
congratulations, none of us here even knew you were thinking of getting married :-)
JimHart69,
Does it have to be Phuket?
For the right honeymoonsetting there is no better place than the Premier Resort Krabi aka Rayavadee Spa near Ao Nang, Krabi province.
You can have a nice room from around the discounted rate of just B18,000.
Think about it!
Thought: 'My wife and I were happy for 30 years. Then we met.'
Jim Hart, since Freeler is throwing out other ideas, go to a great place near Hua Hin www.aleenta.com. 120$ / night, private swimming pool, on the beach.
You and the "wife" will have a great time.
I did say anything about getting married! I just want the honeymoon!!! This is the only way to have a honeymoon, because when it is over, there is no commitments. Just next!
Freeler
Long time no talk.
Phuket is easier to get in and out of then Ao Nang, Krabi province. I would actual like to find something closer to Bangkok, but not Pattaya. Good Hotels and Beaches.
Phuket is a hour by plane. I have no ideas, outside of Phuket. B18,000 was little more then I want to pay per day. I have found some great places in Phuket from B3500 to B8000 a day with SPA services.
Remember that Air Asia has some real nice rates to Phuket. With the money you save on the ticket (Only 1000 baht RT, plus taxes), you can get a nice honeymoon suite.
Regarding the best place to stay in Phuket, I'd say it is without a doubt Avantika. Price is closer to the 8,000 baht price. Hotel is about 1 year old, run by a young guy who studied in the states. If you go, tell him Mike's friend sent you. You have to ask him on where to go for night life, he is a good guide too!
There is a web site but not sure if I can post it here so I'd suggest searching for Avantika Phuket on google to see if you can find it.
Enjoy. Congratulations on the wedding!
JimHart,
I can recommend the Holiday Inn, but the luxury wing only. It is called Busakorn and has great rooms, or even villas with own pool access. Nothing for mongering as the give you a lot of trouble if you bring a girl for the night, but great if you bring your own food!!!!
Try it,
Mike

HuaHin is not a bad idea at all, 1ball!
The Hilton is centrally located as is the Hotel Sofitel Central Hua Hin (from "TheKillingFields' movie).
HuaHin has a little scene, but is also family oriented, perfect for Jim and the wife!
Check: http://www.asiatravel.com/sofitelcentral/
I must say I feel very insulted at not being invited to the wedding.
I did not invited anybody to the wedding on Jun 28. But the day of the divorce 4 days later on Jul 1st, there will be a celebration at Nana, everybody is invited. Hahahaha
Hey guys,
I might be new to posting here, but have been using the service for years. I live in Phuket half of the year and in Taiwan the other half. I don't know what type of services/standards you guys want in a hotel, but a lot of the prices you are talking about are extremely high. Especially since Phuket is now in their "low" season. Let me know what you're looking for and I can point you guys in the right direction. Any hotel in the range you guys are talking about will also charge you as much as $3000 per day to bing a friend back to your hotel (assuming you don't check in with her and keep her the whole time). Not worth it IMO. Phuket is great, enjoy it!
Like I said, now is the low season, so you should NEVER pay anything more than $1,500+BF on any chick unless she is a total super star(difficult to find in Phuket). Of course, there are a few places like Rock Hard where the girls will try to get $3,000+ out of you. It's a great place to go for food and drinks, but get your women elsewhere. All of them at RH hard core professionals only after money. The reality of phuket is that there are way too many bars and girls so it's a buyers market.
usually, the prices at the bars along Bangala and all of the side sois are $1000 all night,+ $500 for the BF. Never pay more or you will fuck it up for everyone. Low season, you can negotiate a lower rate with the women and with the bars. OR, just wait until the bars close and pick up the girls afterwards w/o paying the bar. 1am till late the next day should be about $800 during low season.
A word of warning, some of the best looking girls in Phuket are ladyboys.
Some other people were talking about Hua Hin. Been there several times, and I wouldn't recommend it. The beach sucks, except at the far southern section, the streets are too small and crowded, not much girl selection. People from BKK go here vs. Pattaya, but it's over developed into a place most people don't want to go anymore. If you just want a quiet get away, try Koh Samet or Koh Chang.
Someone asked about areas near or outside of Phuket. North of Phuket is Kao Lock National Park that is developing quickly. I think you need to bring your own girl with you, as when I was there last time there wasn't any available. Koh Phi Phi is beautiful, and only an hour boat ride away from Phuket. You might some girls there, or Western backpackers that are horny. I usually have to chase away the latter. Krabi, is OK, but you will have to take some day boat trips to all of the beautiful islands in the area, 100% muslim so not much in the ent. scene. I wouldn't go any further south of Krabi as it's 100%muslim and unstabel
Koh Samui is a great option, beautiful, still small, and an OK ent. scene. Direct flights from BKK, but you have to pay an airport tax that is rediculous.
Good luck guys, looking forward to hearing some of your reports.

Hi Guys,
I'm in Patong for the next 2 weeks. Does anyone knows a nice girl, preferably a freelancer, they can get me in contact with for some entertainment? I'd like a friendly girl who's pretty, young, and slim, but doesn't everybody? I also have the contact numbers of a few nice girls in Patong who I've tried. Please PM me if you'd like to swap some numbers and stories. Cheers!

Howdy,
I had a consistantly good time in a bar at the end of Soi Sea Dragon called "Amigos". Drop by if for no other reason than to check out the cashier. Blonde Thai girl with a killer bod ! The bad news: she doesn't barfine. I was told she only likes girls ! Damnit ! The cute, perky little cocktail waitress was also uninterested in BF, but maybe I just wasn't her type.
My newbie friend took the same girl outta there a couple times. Gorgeous face, a little thick for my taste, but I like em real small. He was very happy with her. Name was Toi.
I found nothing noteworthy in Phuket, but the diving was good. Oh, except a great buffet on Friday nights only. "Thai Friend Inn" about 100 meters up the road from the beach road (south side of the road across from a big massage place). On the first road north
of Bangla Rd. (two way traffic). All you can eat, great food and 350 Baht. True, more than a plate of noodles, but if you're in town on a Friday night, check it out.
Happy mongering,
FD
Gentlemen,
Decided that I just can't stand reading about this great country any more without going there at least once before the dirt nap. So I'm headed there in november this year. Believe me, I have RTFF on Thailand diligently and still have one big question: can you get Vitamin V over the counter? Certainly hope so, many thanks in advance.
Puss, pretty much available everywhere, including the generic kind from india
1ball would know.
FD...... ???? isn't that what you were snorting ? LOL
No, I was snorting Imodium ! :)
Just spent 3 days in the Pattong lodge just outside of Patong beach, hotel is not girl friendly guests discouraged and if allowed, a 500bht joiner fee. It was no problem for me as I took my regular Pattaya girlfriend (her **** is so so small I can't leave her alone.) I booked the room in Pattaya paid 1250/nht rooms are going for about 600 a night if you turn up on doorstep as things are fairly quiet now.
For info;
flight Pattaya-Phuket
flight Phuket-Bangkok
3 nights hotel in Pattong lodge
all above for 2 people 10000bht
not a bad deal
The only problem was it rained all 3 days whilst in Phuket
May the force be with you.
Have to plan a bachelors party in Phuket. What do you guys suggest?
John Siron,
If you need local help, check with Terry, the owner of Amigos bar listed below. He will be happy to share knowledge with you and may be able to help directly with arrangements. Tell him "Richard, from Angeles" sent you.
Or, you could hook up with the "Hash House Harriers" for more local help. They are HDQTRD at the Expat Hotel and meet at 3:00 PM on Saturdays.
Good luck,
FD
Thanks Firedick. What area is the Soi Sea Dragon? I can't find it on the Phuket map.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be done for a bachelors party in Phuket?
To answer some questions:
Vitamin V is available at all pharmacies, no problems.
Never stay in a hotel that charges $ for guests, most don't.
So much stuff for a B. Party I don't know where to begin. I've done it too many times. It just depends on what you want, ie. show, striptease, prostitutes for everyone, etc. Do you want a private room or back at your hotel? Food, drinks, etc? I think Fredrick has a friend at one of the bars, but ALL of the bars would be more than willing to help you out (for $ of course) Here's some examples of what I've done in the past.
1) Talk to Larry or Joe at Rock Hard on the corner of Bangla. It's the largest, oldest, best go-go bar/restaurant in Patong. They used to have a special room upstairs that would be perfect for a party (may not today with renovations). BG's here are all pros, expensive, but will do nasty things for tips. Has food, good music, etc.
2) Any other go go club would be more than happy for a large group of guys to show up and party down with the girls. Best to talk with the owner first, and have any bar fine waved for your party guests, since you'll be dropping a lot of cash anyway. No food at these places, none to recommend over the others.
3) You can go to any of the open air bars, like Fredrick suggests, or simply go bar hopping picking up the women as you go. This can be fun to walk around and play with all of the ladies, but also very time consuming as women will be trying to pull you guys into every bar you walk by. There might only be a few good looking girls in each bar and therefore, a waste of some of your time.
4) (my personal favorite) is to spend a night or two going around to all of the bars and talking with the girls (or trying them out) and negotiate with them what you want them to do. For example, I've gotten girls to come and do some awesome nasty shows involving toys, lesbians acts, etc. etc. Negotiate your prices, including their bar fines and then have them come to your hotel or party room. (keep in mind that BF are usually 200-500 and that a BG charges $1000 for all night of sex or $500 for ST. I usually get the girls to come for $500 for the show plus what ever they can make doing LT or ST with the guys. I've also hired a few BJ girls who do their duty upon command all night. Usually I pay only $200-300 per BJ (discount price for volume!) Try to negotiate all of the prices up front with the girls, and then tell your friends so they don't over pay. Having the party at your hotel gives you a lot more freedom and fun, plus you can have all of the food and drinks prepared how you want, and save a lot of money. For example: 1 rum and coke at the bar = 120-150bt vs. 1 liter of rum from supermarket cost 120bt. I don't know you're budget, but the money you save on drinks and food can be VERY well spent on the girls.
Another thought, all of you should hit the vitamin V before the party so when you're drunk off your ass the girls can still ride you all night long.
One thing to consider is that a lot of the girls will be afraid to come to a party alone, so you should try to hire the girls in pairs, or more. Even better if you try them out first, so they will "know" you and trust you. Also, they will know other girls who will want to come to the party. (we all want to come to the party, he he). You can also get girls to come w/o paying the BF by arranging everything before hand. I know that Fredrick might disagree with me, but I've always found it better/cheaper to negotiate with the girls directly. However, if you negotiate with the owner of the bar, then you have more security in getting what you paid for. NEVER PAY ANYTHING IN ADVANCE!!!!!
One thing that I'm not sure if I missed or not, is when is your party? What month you come will make a huge difference in girl quality, price, etc. Now is the low season until about October/Nov. Everything should be a lot cheaper and easier to arrange.
Other people have PM me about hotels in Phuket. There are so many small local hotels that are cheap and clean with a/c. You can easily find them for $500+ per day. Never book your stay in Phuket with air and hotel together or you will pay twice as much. Most of the smaller hotels do not have web sites, and the ones that do will sometimes charge more over the net.
One source of information that might be helpful for some, and not for others would be the phuketgazzete.com It is the local newspaper's web site. They do have an advertisement there for a bar called "Katoy's R US" inside the Tiger entertainment complex (this complex is not really recommended because it's only been around for less than 2 years and most of the bars are still empty) Anyway, they have a lot of pictures of their girls and their lady boys (KATOY) for anyone who is interested. I've said it before, and I will say it again. Be careful in Phuket with the BG's because some of the best looking BGs are really lady boys. No judgment either way from Adjarn. I'm sure some of the ones that have cut their dicks off and have been taking hormones for years could probably show you a really good time. You really don't have to worry about making a mistake, usually the lady boys are located on Soi Katoy (where you will see them dancing) or in the Tiger complex. There's also an entire gay section of the scene located at the base of the tallest hotel in Patong.
I know, this forum is about women, but I just thought I'd let everyone know so they aren't wasting their time in the wrong places.
Adjarn
Adjarn,
I wouldn't disagree at all. Dealing with the girls face to face would be cheaper. But for a whole "stable" of girls, I'd like to keep it simple, maybe deal with one club or one mamasan.
BTW, I am NO Phuket expert. Just got back from a trip, but before that, it had been a few years.
John Siron,
Soi Sea Dragon is off Bangla. Walk away from the beach and it's on your left.
FD
Hi guys,
I will be back in Patong from the 26th June. Anyone would like to join me in same mongering missions or just for some beers please PM
take care
WS
I was in Phuket last week and things are pretty quiet, even cuties are ony asking 1000 baht LT, one even said she would stay until next afternoon. Made the mistake of staying at The Baan Thai Beach Resort, nice hotel but 500 baht joiner fee, crawling with security guards. Weather wet at the moment, seems to be well into rainy season.
Phuket town have some nice "places".
No one should EVER pay more than $1000bt LT at ANY of the open air bars or bars along Bangla. If you do you're a sucker, and a fucker for helping to raise all of the prices.
Go-go's do charge more, but NEVER pay what they quote you either. Negotiate
Low season can be totally awesome! It's a buyer's market for sure.

Run To Daylight: A Stroll Down Soi Gonzo
Walking down Soi Bangla last night, I look up and see a sign that says: "Soi Gonzo". Soi Gonzo? Well, I happen to be a big fan of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, the only man ever to have rode with both the Hell's Angels and Richard M. Nixon. I thoroughly enjoyed his "Fear and Loathing..." books, and share his passion for American football and Wild Turkey Kentucky Bourbon. This is certainly worth checking out.
I stand at the top, and survey the playing field. A row of bars line each side, must be stacked twenty deep. Little boxes, and they all look just the same. And they're all made of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same. Reminds me of the new luxury boxes at Lambeau.
I proceed along the right side, since 80% of the plays are designed to go that way. The gridiron echoes with calls of "Hellooooooooooooo....Welcoooooooooooooome..........Where you goooooooooo?" How I love the sounds of battle. Each bar seems to have at least 10-12 girls, but only one or two customers, if that. The resistance is quite formidable.
There seem to be three distinct types of position players on the defense. Sideliners sit quietly, some watching TV, others looking bored and wanting no part of the action. The sideliners have already surrendered and offer little impedance in my quest.
The second type of defender are the linebackers, who will stand right in front of you, just daring you to run them over. Linebackers exhibit extraordinary lateral movement. Move right or left, they will quickly compensate. However, I've developed a very effective technique for linebackers: A small step to the right, just to get them leaning that way, then a quick pivot and 360 degree spin move to the left. Works every time. Fakes those linebackers right out of their.......jocks?
The third, and most difficult type of defender, are the arm tacklers. If you're well hung, you can try to stiff arm them. Otherwise, if two arm tacklers form a tandem, you could be caught in the dreaded "Tug-of-War" which threatens to split you at the seams. Sometimes the arm tacklers will probe below the waist for a fumble, ensuring the balls are secure.
I've made the rounds and can see Soi Bangla again, the light at the end of the tunnel. But, what's this? The troops are amassing for a final goal line stand. I lower my shoulder, bend my legs slightly for better balance, and plunge into the line of scrimmage. Defenders wrap themselves around me, but I shake them off with superior upper body strength. Fortunately, no one has taught these girls to GO FOR THE KNEES! I'm there: Touchdown!!! I'm very fortunate for learning American football, those soccer players will be there all night.
After the game, I went out and got laid.
I got here a couple days ago after a week in Koh Samui. I'm staying at Baan Patong Guesthouse - paying 400 baht a night. The place has got AC, minibar, private bath and is only one street block north of Bangla road. The best thing is the management are very low key about bringing guests in for the night. Chanathip Guesthouse is across the street from BPG and offers similar accomodations/prices.
The beer bars are loaded with girls sitting on their buts all night. Many good lookers available for decent prices. I think Phuket is alot better than Koh Samui in regards to mongering. More selection bigger scene and better beach than Chaweng Beach in Koh Samui. Pattaya is still the king though.
I went to see a sex show at a gogo on Soi Seadragon. Paid 200baht for a heineken and watched a dancer finagle a raw egg out of her coochie and into a glass. Then she popped out 2 ping pong balls.. Kinda boring if you ask me.
Many european chicks her going topless at the beach. I saw a couple today with huge knockers.
Generic viagra from India available in pharmacies her for half the price of V.

I activated a One-2-call sim card and when I ask for the balance check it says that the expiry date is no more than three months from now, meaning that if I do not recharge it before September I will have to activate a new number. Isn’t that a bit harsh?
I suppose it’s not designed for mongering or tourism purposes, a person who can get to and from Thailand every three months is not a common tourist anymore, is he? Or he is indeed a lucky tourist.
Is there a more reasonable way to get a Thai number and (possibly) keep it a bit longer? What do you use? It gets very useful when it comes to staying in touch with ladies you have done business with and you might want to see again.
i.e.: the last day I was in Phuket the only plane I found to BKK for the day after to catch my coincidence was at 7am, so I had to leave the hotel at 5am, instead of “panicking” I just called two sisters I had fucked some days before who were glad to have a short time amazing threesome.
I will happily disclose their mobile number to those interested or with some kind of “emergency”, they are very cute, very good English and 20 and 24 of age.
Adjarn,
You must be the original Cheap Charlie, I visited Bangla Rd in June and was more than happy to pay 1000 baht LT for a little cutie AND I gave her 300 baht tip. You are so mean you should hang your head in shame, these girls are struggling to get a living.
Hi,
In Phuket, are all the hotels GF friendly? Am thinking of staying at the Sheraton or Novotel.
How do you bring a girl back? Does security stop you?
Any tips would be welcome.

Can anyone give some info on snorkeling this time of year, maybe closer to September? I realize Monsoon season, in the Andaman sea side, lasts untill late October. So I was wondering someone knows if there are any realitively safe areas to snorkel on this side of the map?
Thanks for any info.
Ciao,
APL
BuffyRules,
Many of the hotels in Phuket are NOT girl friendly, I stayed at the Baan Thai hotel in June and they charged 500 baht joiner fee and the place was crawling with security 24/7, no chance of smuggling a girl in.
I am not 100% sure but i think all you have to do is register the girl at the front desk. This is part of the security measures to protect people in the hotel. The last thing the hotel needs are hookers wandering the halls looking for customers.
All the girl does is give them her ID card and signs a sheet when she arrives and picks it up when they leave.
A few years ago, when I checked in at the hotel at 2am with my wife (darn it!) a western guy was brining in a girl and the front desk had metal box they put her ID card into. There were a bunch of other ID cards in the box. In the room there was a memo from the hotel management saying to register all "joiners" at the front desk. This was the Ipanema Cabana Hotel on Patong Beach.
Buffy,
There is plenty of hotels that won't like any nightly visitors. There is some ways to do a work around.
Those hotels that are GF friendly will charge you a minor amount as fee, they log the girl and gets her ID. That is for YOUR security! Never go up without register the lady. If anything happens and you get ripped off, better to know the thief then not!
Just bring the girl to the hotel and let the guard take down her info and then everything is free. When I stayed at Sea Sand Sun the fee was 150 baht. At Duangjitt they wanted 1500 baht for letting a non-guest "use the pool".
Just remember, the classier the hotel, the more negative they feel about guests having visitors!
But you can always book a double room and say that your missus will arrive later. Then the hotel has no case if you get a GF to your room. Just say she is the one you waited for.
Darn. Should have edited the previous post but it's not here until 24 hrs later.
Novotel will charge you 1500 baht for a "guest". They have 24hrs security. (last I heard and that was may 2004).
Sheraton - no info yet.
I stayed at Blue Ocean Resort in June and had no problem with guests. Their policy is 300B joiner fee but the lady told me to claim 2 guests on the register to avoid the fee.
Not a 4 star hotel but a nice, clean place for 800B-1000B in low season.

Not the case I am afraid to say, when you register they will want the name of your "missus", if the girl you try to take to the room is asked for ID they will be able to see the name is different. The only way around this problem is to choose a girl friendly hotel, I am afraid I don't know any in Phuket, only Bangkok.
Applecoc,
The monsoon just messes up the visability. It's reasonably safe to snorkel all year. Most dive boats will take you out if they're going someplace "snorkel friendly". Not much good shore diving. Kata and Kata Noi have some interesting rock formations but nothing like a coral reef.
FD
Stayed at Thara Patong (www.tharapatong.com)on my last trip there. No problem with the girls. Talk to Somporng ( the "LB" manager) first and make sure he knows it's double occupancy. Book the room next to the pool. It's awesome. You just walk out of the back patio of the room and into the pool. It's a little more expensive ( I paid 2,900 bahts for 3 nights and gets the 4th night free) than the regular rooms but it's worth it. Walk right out to Beach Rd and about a nice 10 minute walk to soi Bangla. Nice place will go back again.
I am headed (pun intended?) to Phuket October 1 for a few days. If any of you forum members are going to be in the area, let me know if you'd like to meet up. This will be my first ever visit to Thailand. I have not scanned through all the past reports on Phuket, but if anyone has a favorite night spot or two, I'd be much obliged.
My goal each night will be to find one girl (and maybe two) who will like me enough and feel safe enough to go back to the hotel with me. I'm staying at a hotel that most likely is on the high end, but thanks to my points, it won't cost me anything. However, most reports seem to suggest that hotels can be sticks in the mud when it comes to having a girl come over (let alone TWO girls). I'm going to have to make sure when I check in that the hotel staff understands and accepts the fact that I am going to be spending some time with my girlfriend. (I don't think they'll be paying such close attention that they'll notice it's a DIFFERENT girlfriend every night! But I could be wrong.)
Later, dudes.
MrVee,
You’re going to have great time in Phuket. Since you already have done some research you probably know that Patong Beach is the center of the P4P action in Phuket. In particular Bangla Road and the many soi's (Soi Eric, Soi Easy, Soi Gonzo, Soi Sea Dragon, etc) that run off of it. However, my favorite is the Tai Pan Disco near the intersection of Bangla Road and Rat-U-Thit. Try it round about midnight. It can get loud in there but there are plenty of freelancers and a great atmosphere as well. Also, try the Tiger Disco (upstairs) on Bangla Road. I've had good luck in there as well.
And if the rainy season is over by early October you'll have an even better time. You might also consider renting a motorbike and taking a trip around the island and its many beaches. Find some honey to act as your “guide”. If you do, take care, there are many accidents involving motorbikes. Thai’s and many farangs have their own ideas about driving. You might also want to take a day trip to one of the nearby islands (i.e. James Bond Island). Good luck. I’ll be going back there in November.
MrVee,
You have a lot to learn about Thailand my friend. First of all you will have no problem finding a girl to take back to your hotel, the hard part will be deciding which one. I was in Phuket for 4 days this June and had no trouble finding a real cutie for 1000 baht LT (long time---all night).
With regard to the hotel allowing guests, I have never known a hotel to stop you taking a girl to your room but most will charge you what they call a joiner fee----maybe 500 baht, this is a scam but there is not much you can do about it. It is no good telling the reception that she is your girlfriend because you would have to register her details when you book in, they have heard it all before, it is unlikely you will be able to smuggle the girl in as most hotels have 24 hour security.
The busiest area in Phuket is probably Bangla Road, Patong, watch out for the ladyboys though !!
Patong seems to be going down hill. The whole place has become a tourist trap. It's hard to find locally priced services (food, laundry, shopping, etc). Even at night nothing gets cracking at the bars until 9pm or 10pm. The girls don't seems real happy about doing anything other than making you drink. Drinking is cool but man can not live by drinks alone. I'm here for the nookie. The place is dressed up nice but it's not as fun as it use to be.
The prices in Bangkok have gotten out of hand. Damn tourist inflated the prices now BK is all fucked up. Some places selling 125 baht beers. Hell even paid 95 baht for a fucking coke. Bar fines and asking fees are ridiculous. It's sad. Pattaya is the last safe haven unless someone knows some other good spots in the country.
There is a BJ bar in Patong????
And what about Go-Go bar??
I know very well Samui and Pattaya but i was only 1 time in Pukhet (3 days) 7 years ago.
There is no BJ bar in Patong that I know of. If anyone knows of one I'd be glad to learn where.
There are go-go bars but the only one I checked out was Rock Hard. The only girl in there that interested me wanted 2000B ST or 3000B LT on top of a 600B BF. I passed and found a lovely lady from Udon Thani walking down Bangla Rd and she was happy with 1500B LT.

Dear fellow mongers,
I am usually a player in Beijing and Singapore, but for the first time will be heading down to Phuket - no pun intended.
Anyway, I am looking for a really good high end spa massage place as I need to unwind from a very busy month. Can anyone recommend a good place?
Also, is there any action to be found in these high end spa resorts? Behind closed doors, can I get any services?
Thanks so much for your helpful advise in advance. Should any of you pass by my neck of the woods, let me know and I can return the favor.
Best regards,
GENTS
I am planning a trip to LOS, part of the time will be spent in Phuket. Any feedback on the following hotels will help.
Harrys Beach Hotel
Casa Summer Breeze
Patong Villa
Guest problems?
Joiner fees?
Management?
Thanks!
Harry's is close to everything, It may not be girl friendly, but after 11 pm the back door by the restaurant is the only way in. I have never been confornted(including the next morning) or charged for a guest and I have never seen a staff member after that time. I have stayed there 3 times.
The hot water is hard to find, and the decor will remind you of Sponge Bob or the Flintstones but for the price and location cannot be beat.
Come back from Patong from 10 days and missing it already.
Spent a lot ot time with Apple again.
She is cut and she is complete.
The picture attached is from a previous trip, I didn't brought my camera this time but she is still look good.
She is always in Crocodile and later in Tiger Disco.
Missing her littler and tight pussy.
This board section seam to be quite dead.
What's happen guys anybody like Phuker anymore???
Let's post again and share info...

Hi,
Like a few on here i'm looking for girl friendly hotels in patong
The Sea Sun Sand was mentioned earlier on 150 baht joining fee that doesn't sound too bad.
I've found it online for £25 a ngiht, so i'm interested.
One question what is the best way to get from the airport, how much are hte local taxi's the hotel has an offer of 700 baht.
White Shark is quite right, this section is half dead, Phuket is not really well represented here.
I don’t quite understand those posts complaining about the lack of bar scene, if you are looking for mere bar scene, then you are in the wrong thread; just go to Pattaya or Bangkok.
Phuket is not comparable to Pattaya, full stop.
But on the other hand, it has a few clubs with a unique atmosphere and vibe which you will struggle to find in any other place. Prices do not look to me as expensive as someone said either; so, enjoy the whole package, because Phuket definitely got it.
Fear not ... reports from Phuket (and hopefully many photos) are forthcoming after I get there Oct. 1-3. But that's more than a month from now (just couldn't wait, so I had to avail myself in Toronto this week. See the Ontario, Canada section for my report. 300 Canadian is about 210 USD, and I kept thinking, "Man! I should just save that money for Singapore and Thailand, where I can get so much more mileage out of it!" But obviously I couldn't delay my mongering.
Dear Mongers,
I planning to visit Phuket for the 1st time and will be arriving sometime 19th October. I was wandering if the weather is good during this time?
My earlier plan to visit in July was interrupted.
Hope you guys will be kind enough to adv.
Cheers!
You are still in the rainy season in the middle of October.
Temperatures are in the Middle to high 80s
Yes, rainy season and all the ladies very very wet. My money is that a few showers in the evening won't spoil your holiday.
The sea, though, should be relatively calm, almost preparing for the high season starting in November.
I'll be there from 22nd October. Anyone knows if Star World will be open by then?
Mike,
Thanks for yr reply. I was told by my other mates abuot the occasional rain there.
Rain or shine, I'm going there.
Best regards to all.
Yes, rainy season and all the ladies extremely wet. This will most certainly not spoil your holidays, my money is on you having a blast.
On the positive side, being so close to November when the high season begins, the sea should be relatively calm and swimmable.
I’ll be there from 22nd October, fighting against the bad weather like many of you (duh?). Does anyone know if Star World will be reopen by then?
Mike Peters,
Outside the airport arrivals will be mini-buses and limousines. If
you walk beyond them and across the parking lot there is a
meter taxi stand. I think it cost me 400B from the airport to
Patong.
If you are still looking for a hotel I stayed at Blue Ocean Resort
and thought it was pretty good for 800B.

Just claim double occupancy and there should be no joiner fee.
Verify this with check-in.

[b]Phuket Airport to Patong Beach[/b]
When you arrive at the Phuket Airport, there's a couple of options to get to Patong Beach:
[b][u]Taxi[/u][/b]
After you pick up your luggage, there's a counter where you can book a taxi to Patong Beach for 500 Baht.
I've heard, but never tried this, that you can go outside, and across the parking lot, there are some other taxis where you can get a better rate, but I haven't tried this.
[b][u]Mini-Bus[/u][/b] - 150 Baht
At the same counter mentioned above, you can purchase a mini-bus ticket for 150 Baht. They'll immediately try to sell you a taxi, but insist you want the mini-bus for 150 Baht.
The Mini Bus, along with other passengers, will take you directly to your hotel.
[b]The Mini-Bus Catch:[/b]
On the way to Patong Beach, the Mini-Bus will stop at a travel agency. They'll ask everyone to get out of the bus and step inside.
At this point, they'll ask you if you've booked a hotel, ask where you're staying, and will waste a significant amount of time as they sell rooms to the other passengers attempting to earn a commission.
I've complained about this my first couple of trips, but it appears there's a partnership between the mini-bus and the travel agency.
It gets quite annoying at times. Even though I tell them I have a reservation, they want to know where, what I'm paying, and want to get me a "better deal" somewhere else. They falsely tell the other passengers that "booking here will be cheaper".
There's no way around this. The only way is to discretely tell other passengers, the sooner you said "No Thank You", the sooner we'll get out of here. They've made it harder now that they make everyone get out of the mini-bus, explaining you might have to change vans.
Anyway, if you don't mind this delay, the Mini-Bus is the way to go.
If you don't want to deal with this nonsense, pay a little more for a private taxi.
The tour guide trap from the airport to Patong is par for the course. I have been 5 times and i NEVER get out of the car. I let the driver know that iif we stop it will effect his tip. They always say, "i must get ticket stamped." I tell him he has one minute, then off we go.
As previously stated, the travel agency stop is standard operating procedure for the mini-van. On my last trip to Phuket the TA hit the jackpot with the mini-van I was in. Four backpacking German girls (all very attractive) not only got their rooms from the TA but they also purchased a couple of day tours to nearby islands. Two other people in the mini-van also got their rooms from the TA. Needles to say, we spent well over an hour at this TA. The 150 baht price is great but next time I think I will try gwailo's advice.
I live in Kata Beach and use a local taxi driver to get to and from the airport, he does good deals and was born on Phuket and speaks English well. Skip the minivans it can take hours to get to the Southern end of the island. If you want the driver's number PM me. Just call him before you leave BKK and he will meet you. It is 45 from Kata up to the airport so he needs a heads up to get there in time for you.
I like opiniones about the following hotels:
Lamai Inn
Lamai Hotel
(probably same management)
Cheap hotels (500-600 bath until 31 oct)
they write
" Air-conditioned and private large bathrooms, Hot & cold water in the bathtub or shower, colored TV with satellite, mini-bar, and telephone"
and
"No charge for ladies staying over night with guest. "
Someone know them???
Hey guys,
I need some pointers. I'll be heading to Phuket in November, my first trip to Thailand. Any idea where can I get good pussies for a few nights? Budgets?
Cheers to all,
Horny Man

Has anyone had experience at the Amari Coral Beach Resort in Patong? How about the Baan Karonburi Resort in Karon Beach. I've been to Phuket several times, but stayed at mostly lower level places--I'd like a nice place this time. I did stay at Diamond Cliffs once--it was very nice, but absolutely not girl friendly.
Specifically, I want to know if the hotels charge "joiner" fees and if they are really 4* quality.
Patong Rocks,
I think that Patong is far better than BKK of Pattaya. Cleaner, fresh air, nice beach and 5000 Darlings ready to make you happy.
There are a few things like S & M clubs, a big range of soapies,
and more upscale resturants that BKK and Pattaya have but I would say those are more than replaced with Patong. The entire island of Phuket is much better.
If you are looking info or are headed there for the first time or going back looking for somethings they missed last time put it up or pm me. I'm sort of a part time resident as I'm there every ther month with a few days in BKK on endf each trip.
BTW! There are a number of boards out there on Phuket/Patong specifically but most are run by people who use them to promote their business and one board is run by some jerk off moron who gives out bad info. The cast of crooks include a bar owner, vacation rental owner, Soi owner ( strip of beer bars) and the usual advertorial type catchments.
I will tell you know that I often don't follow my own advice but I have my niches and my places I like to go so I may not recommend my haunts or likes.
I find the girls are less crass. Yes, Pattaya appear to have more stunners and go go's but I would say the ration for Darling to Dog is about the same.
Post'em or PM and I would love to help you love the town I love.
A guy who has some cool photos is www.phuketbob.com
good maps are at www.phuket-maps.com
cheap rooms are at www.latestays.com (as is with other spots)
http://forum.thaivisa.com/ has a section on Phuket that is good
There is ample shopping with a Big C, Tesco Lotus, and a big mall that is really new, just a few weeks.
Is it more expensive, can be but that has an up side IMHO. You don't see alot of low end trash travelers bringing down the economy and they say that is due to the cost of air travel etc.
I hate Farang Beggars and amature Farang hookers trying to make money to get home!
Love to share info and would like to learn a few things myself!
I will check the board while on the move.
Also there is zero problems with the coppers! Late closings are common for those who want to booze it up all night but I would say half the sanukers are holed up with a Darling before 2am!
Just got back from my 1st tour of duty. What an experience! The only disappointing thing is I met my dream girl my last two days there. If I had met her earlier, I would've stayed with her the whole time. I mean this girl was my absolute dream girl, model quality, sweet, happy, fun...a total joy to be with. The kind of girl that makes you feel happier even if you weren't sad to begin with. Yes, she was THAT awesome. I wish I could bring her here to the US, but that would be expensive, time consuming, and risky. While I had the best time ever, it was only two days. I still know little of her history and if her story is true or not.
She did ask the usual, "send me money and I won't do this [working girl job]." Hmm, sure I thought. Only until the next customer comes along and sweeps her off her feet. Really, though, she was not the usual common working girl. She was really sweet and considerate. She really doesn't belong in this business. I could see her working with kids or as a nurse, not as a freelancer.
Oh well, life goes on and so must I. She was only a short term fantasy come true. Now that I've lived my fantasy, I must go on. No more mongering or Thailand from here on. If this continues I'll never get married and won't be able to concentrate on the important, realistic matters of life. Remember fellas, this life of hunting pussy, is just temporary satisfaction...and it's wrong. We all deserve better than to pay for pussy. For me, I want a wife, not a hole in my financial pocket and some STD of unknown origin. Because thats exactly what this will be if I continue. Broke and diseased.
There s more to life than that. Later days, fellas.
Ouch Me,
I hear ya, brother. And I know where you're coming from. And I've been there myself. All of us are at some stage of growth, having come from somewhere, being somewhere, and heading somewhere.
But, I gotta tell ya: Marriage is THE most expensive option around. Trust me. And not only in terms of money. Time and opportunity. Your life is not yours anymore! However, I'm not going to discourage you from the ideals you set forth.
I have many of the same moral struggles, but "at the end of the day", I LOVE being with a variety of women and experiencing them in all their mysterious holds on us.
Being mindful of the forum and its purpose, I don't want to start a philosophical or ethical online conversation. But anyone who wants to engage in such can send me a Private Message and I'll reply (in time...I'm extremely busy).
Y'all do the best and be the best you can out there. And look for detailed reports from me soon (arriving Phuket October 1 for 3 days).
I say this - we all want bliss but you can't just go out there and get it. If we could, we would not P4P and we would not be here on this forum. For the lucky few who have got this, they are indeed lucky.
Reality check: Marriage is not a big deal and it is overrated. Just look at the statistics.
I like selective P4P with my feet on the ground. With selective P4P, it is possible to have fantastic experiences for years and years. The euphoria of marriage, for most, lasts no more than one year.
Just MHO.
Cheers.
Ouch me,
you wrote: "She really doesn't belong in this business."
Be careful! Wake up! Blindness always starts like this.
Girls which are working in that business know what they are doing. They also know what impact that decision has on their own lifes. They made this decision and they have chosen a relatively easy way of making money, whatever story they have in the background (take care of baby, mother, father, water buffolo).
That girl has learnt how to make money in that business. And if she is so awesome and cute - it is even possible for her to select customers, and will not have to go with the "old fat ugly farang sex tourist". She then can combine her own entertainment and sexual desires with making money - and then job is not that bad then!
It normally doesn't work to send money, one or two months, and then the girls get bored and return to their business for various reasons, not only because they want more money.
Some simply get horny, and miss good "farang service"...
Giotto
Giotto,
Please don't interpret this is a flame, I like your posts, usually very informative
But anyone who thinks that thai hookers fuck because they are horny dosn't know much about (a) hookers and (b) women in general
Unless they are naive teenagers, women never give it away and always have some sort of agenda
Without this imperative, the human race would have died out in the cave man days!
Happy trails,

[b]Freebie at Christin's Massage[/b]
So I'm sitting in Christin's Massage having a non-alcoholic beverage, just relaxing and killing some time one rainly late afternoon. I don't find most of the ladies behind the glass particularly appealing and I prefer the night scene at Tiger Entertainment, Soi Bangla, etc.
So, as I'm sitting at the table, an Asian gentleman from Hong Kong asks if may join me. I say sure, he sits down and we talk for a while. He was a friendly business professional, recently divorced, and he treated me to a drink the next round.
After talking for a while, he says to me (glancing towards the fish bowl), "So have you decided which one you want? I explained to him that I really wasn't interested in them or looking really. He said, "Are you sure? I'll buy for you."
While I thought this was a generous offer, I initially declined. I mean buying me a drink or two is one thing, but paying 2700 Baht for me to get a freebie? I had to admit, I felt guilty and declined. He insisted it was okay and not that big a deal, so finally, I said sure. We each picked one, and he went to the cashier and paid for both with his credit card. The four of us took the elevator upstairs, picked our own rooms, and then met downstairs in the bar area again afterwards.
The following day was his last day in Phuket, and he wanted to know if I'd be willing to meet him again for another, same time tomorow. I figured why not, and went back, and again, he treated me again.
So, two days in a row I got a free Soapy at Christin's Massage.
[b]How much to tip at Christin's Massage?[/b]
Given my two freebies below, after the "massage", the lady asked, "Do you have something for me?" She said the norm was to tip 500 Baht.
Having no idea if this was the case or not, I simply tipped 500 Baht. Afterall, I got all of this for free.
How much should one tip at Christin's Massage? If 500 Baht the right amount? Or is this overly excessive after paying (or having someone else paying) 2700 Baht to the house.
Mr Butts,
I don't remember that I wrote that Thai hookers fuck because they are horny.
Thai hookers are women, too. If they stop working, if they are financially supported from somebody in a foreign country and they have to wait for months until the farang "boyfriend" comes back - it can happen that the get horny and look for some "nightly entertainment".
Do you think a Thai hooker can switch off the natual signals of her body?
Giotto
Hamilton W,
For the 3200 bahts paid out you could have had 2 girls. IMHO the cost was way to high. But of course you had a freebie.
As a tip for good service you could have given 200 bahts. i.e since you asked for an opinion.
A buddy and I are interested in going diving. We want to find out if we can charter a nice boat, 60 -70 feet or so, probably out of Ranong, and go up to the Burma banks. We are looking for 2 other mongers interested in same. (scuba divers please). The plan would be to grab 6 to 8 girls for the trip, and divide our time between scuba diving, and muff diving. Girls would be there to be shared by all, (except the captain).
We are thinking 1 week, beer, tequila, or the poison of your choice, and lots of sex. The girls would have to be naked at all times.
So, a couple of questions.
Do any of you know who we can contact to find a boat which would be able to handle 4 guys and 8 girls, and also a boat where the crew would be able to handle the debauchery which would ensue?
We need 2 more guys. We are in our mid forties, and are looking for same. We are thinking about doing this in February. Costs would be shared equally. We figure the girls would cost about 50,000 Baht for all of them for the week (1,000 each per day), and don’t really have a handle on the cost of the boat. Any suggestions appreciated.
1ball,
I hate to rain on your fantasy because it's a pretty good one.
But IMHO, you haven't got a hope in hell of diving in the Burma Banks with a boatload of Thai hookers. I've been diving up there and there are very strict rules regarding what you can and cannot do and who's even allowed there.
In order to go anywhere in the Mergui Archepelago (aka, the Burma Banks) you will have to have an agent of the Burmese police on board your boat at all times. These guys report to the Burmese govt. directly and tend to take their jobs seriously. They can be a bit of a downer on an otherwise nice trip. Also you have to pay for them; about 2,000 baht per day. Each person on the boat has to pay 4,500 baht plus a one-time $100 visa and there's a boat fee which is quite steep. You have to go to Yangon to file the paper-work and pay the fees for the boat including filing your proposed course. Each crew member has to be paid for at about $20 each for a visa and 20 copies of all the paper-work involved, including crew and passenger lists has to be completed and sent to Yangon for approval. Just imagine trying to get a list with the names of a load of Thai women approved by the Burmese. And, they have to be naked? You'd be busted and end up in a Burmese jail before you knew what happened.
The main things is that there are only a limited number of liveaboard companies that are even allowed there in the first place. They're all foreign owned and run. They tend to be family businesses (such as Southeast Asia Liveaboards and FarawaySail and Dive Expeditions) and I doubt if they would ever consider such a thing. Not just anyone with a sailboat can go up there whenever they feel like it. The Burmese periodically stop unauthorized boats. When I was sailing up there, we constantly saw police patrol boats, especially between Kawtung (Victoria Point Harbour) and King Island.
So, I just don't think you could pull it off. Although there is a general tendency to believe, among many that you can buy your way into just about anything in the part of the world, I doubt if you could in this instance.
Ok. So having said all that, an alternative to consider is going the other way. There are some freelance sailboats that sail between Phuket and Penang and go out to the Similan Islands. For example, there's a French guy ( I don't remember his name) based in Penang, Malaysia who has a 47 ft. sloop that he offers out at around $100 per person per day. I know there are others, as well, as I've seen posters advertising custom excursions in both Phuket and Penang.
Fun idea, though.
OTH
1ball,
If you're talking about a week sometime after the superbowl, I'm in.
I may have a lead on boats.
Burma Banks sound good, how about the Similans as well ?
FD
FD, somehow, i knew I'd hear from you on this one.
Never having watched a football game in my life, I have no clue when the superbowl is. I'm sure you could watch it in Phuket, or some little bar in the Burma Banks. Bring your own Cheetos.
We can be flexible on dates, just don't want to wait until rainy season.
i think the tricky part will be to find a crew which is oblivious to the type of dive briefings I plan on having :)
Let's go to PM to discuss your leads on boats. I have dove the Similans and the Banks, they are both good. To me, the further North, the better. (less crowds), and better vis.
If it turns into something good, it could turn into the first annual WSG dive-athon.
OTH, you have a point. on the other hand, i was on a boat 3 years ago in Mergui. We crossed from Ranong into Kwatong, (immigration is a tiny little island in the middle of the water), we got our passports stamped there, anf we were off. I forget the name of the dive operation, but the boat was the Amadeus, and the owner was Austrian. There were no cops or army on board, and I think he would be game for it.
Maybe things have changed. Hell, I don't care, we can hang around Richelieu for a week.
Don't want a French captain, but if you know of others, can you PM me a couple of them please? Thanks
1ball,
"Dittos" on the no French captain.
Moving to PM.
FD
1ball,
I think we all agree on not helping the French as much as we can. Let them get some back bone and stand up for once. Just my opinion.
Just to give an update/correction about getting from the airport to your hotel. I noticed others posting about taking the limo taxi. It's 550b to Patong and the driver may still stop at a travel agency. I made the mistake of saying I had only been to Phuket a couple times and sure enough he mumbled something about stopping to get something. Next thing I know, we are at a travel agency.
Using the info from this board, I told the travel agent to just get the driver ASAP so it didn't take too much of my time. I was actually looking for some baht to tip the driver and then he pulls this stunt. Needless to say, there was no tip.
I have to say the taxi limo is a very nice way and fast way to travel, though. A bit expensive for Thailand though and it's a bit confusing finding a driver right when you leave the airport. I'd recommend just telling the driver that you know about the scam and recommend that he doesn't stop.
Oh another thing. Somewhere (I thought it was on this board) it was stated that you could just go to any pharmacy for viagra/kamagra. I personally use levitra (real prescription stuff from the good ole USA and expensive as hell) as an occasional pick me up but I wanted to Bust this Myth. Sure enough I checked out 3 pharmacies on the main strip and none of them said they had it. Pretty strange for a pharmacy (at least in the USA) not to have viagra so my guess is that they just didn't want to sell it to me or they had run out due to all the action on the strip , hehe. My guess is that you need a prescription or you need to know who to talk to. Other stuff like fake DVDs are not hidden from public view but pharmaceuticals are probably a different story.
well said Lion Killer, though the french are in trouble right now.
One of their largest white flag factories burned down yesterday, as a result, they are raising their alert level from "surrender", to "collaborate" :)
Let's not forget that if we had listened to what the FRENCH intelligence agencies told the FBI about Zacarias Moussaoui, whom we had in custody at the time, during the summer of 2001, we could well have prevented 9/11. But, because we are a bunch of arrogant xenophobes, we didn't give any credence to the Frenchies information, and 3000 people died that day.
Cherry Buster,
I've been to Patong many times, the limo service is the best way to go.
(from what I could see the bus would be a pain and take too much time away from the fun)
We've had the " stop to sign paper" travel crapola pulled twice.
Driver tells says he has to stop to "sign in", parks at travel agency in small complex on the way. A lady comes out and asks where you go, where you stay, have better place for you, cheeper, yada yada.
The first time (about 3 years ago) we had reservations at Neptuna, and told her so. She said "can get better price, room at delux hotel" I said, "what if we don't like it"? She said (* after a few more trys/conters) "first nigit free, if not like can change."
We took it, it was ok, but pool was not so good, no shade, long walk from room, and could not access outside line for internet access from the room.
We checked out (took 2 hours of waiting, finally we started to walk to the street with our stuff saying I would tell my friends not to stay here because of bad service, being scammed by travel agent and so on. they got us a car to the Neptuna soon after.
I bet (hope) the agent and cab driver got some feedback on this.
Second time (last June) same scam, lady came out, (maybe same lady) after a few words (I never got out of the car) I think she either recognized me or figured out she was wasting both our times, and we were on our way.
Needless to say, the driver did not get a tip either times.
Also, we stayed at Neptuna, used to be our favorite place, but it has chaged owners. Now not so good. We got a room with bad air cond, and they said now they have charge to access outside phone line.
(we hiked our bags over to the Sand Inn the next day.)
Nice rooms, good air cond, free outside phone line access. (and nice food)
Planning on being there (Patong and Sand Inn) mid-Oct. (just in time for rainy season I know).

1ball,
Why not just head out to the Similans? I hear bad reports about dynamite fishing on the Burma Banks anyway. PM me if you'd like me to recommend a Phuket dive shop.
Arrived in Phuket Friday afternoon from Singapore, but too tired to go out Friday night (see Singapore posts and you'll know why).
Saturday night about 8 PM, a befriended taxi driver and I arrived at The Pink Lady, a bar/club where girls are on display for choosing, almost fish-bowl style. 8 PM is opening time and I was advised to get there early for best selection and to start my night's adventure sooner than later.
Upstairs my driver (a Thai national) and I sat on a couch and I spoke with the mamasan about what I was interested in. She spoke fairly clear English and seemed to understand what I was trying to describe. Also the driver helped whenever he thought clarification was needed. Somehow, with all of that going for me, my primary request was altogether missed: I not only wanted two girls for the night, but specifically two girls who would fully interact with each other (girl-on-girl action with me as a participant). So as best I could describe this and as many times as I asked questions like, "Will the girls do everything together, with each other as well as with me? Kissing, oral sex, etc.?", I kept getting reassurances, "Yes, they will - anything you want." (Where have I heard this before??)
My driver and I moved from the couch to the bar so that now the two rows of girls seated behind the bar are only a few feet away. They're all wearing gowns and in a seated position, it's just hard to tell with precision what kind of bodies are represented. There were all sizes and shapes and most were between 18 and 30, I'd say. All had spent a good deal of time applying make-up and doing their hair, so I knew only the morning-after would reveal true appearances. A few were making eye contact and smiling and using invitational body language. Others were very stoic. Still others were looking down or altogether in some other direction. The mamasan asked for a show of hands: who speaks "a little" English? Although the two I settled on had raised their hands, it truly was "a little". Probably 50 words. But that's about 40 more than I know of their language, so I mention this only for you readers' information (in other words, I'm not reporting it as a complaint or a criticism of the girls).
The one I chose was among the "top 5" cute or attractive ones. The best girls there were low 7's, or maybe high 6's (6.7-6.9). Her eye contact and mannerisms toward me were what helped seal the deal. I left it up to Teo (tay-oh) to choose a friend. She had a clear choice, a girl whose name is pronounced Pom (as in palm but without the "l" sound). As we all sat in the couch area, trying to have discussion between me, the girls, the driver and the mamasan, I kept trying to reinforce my expectations of a true 3-way, and the girls nodded with a no-problem sort of response to the questions interpreted in Thai.
The price quoted for 2 girls, all night was 9000 Baht (about $225 USD), although I had been told to expect 7000 Baht for 2 girls all night, and that Asians get a discount of around 5000 Baht for 2 girls all night. So I hesitated at the 9000 Baht, and after short discussion, the mamasan went to ask the manager (whom I'd met earlier). She came back and said 8000, and I looked at the driver for a nod, then I said OK. It's possible that my initial expectations were based on older information, and the prices could have gone up. I don't know. But 8000 seemed reasonable relative to this monger's experiences, and I even was able to charge it (and all our drinks) on Visa. The girls changed into their regular clothes and we left.
The girls already had started warming up to me quite nicely, but not in a wild sort of way. They were affectionate, though. We all went to have a nice seafood dinner (about 1000 Baht for four of us), then headed to my hotel. This was around 11:00 PM.
Inside the room, the girls seemed to relax even a little more, and I started them off on a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, which they finished and were feeling. When their clothes came off, getting ready for a shower, the revelations began. Here are the stats on Teo: 22 years old, about 5'0", probably 90 pounds, nice round ass, light smoker, 1 child, breasts slightly saggy (but not bad), abdomen slightly stretched. Pom: 24 years old, about 5'4", probably 115 pounds, nice hair and rounded face, but body was very average - nothing great, nothing bad; no kids and non-smoker.
Teo and I got into the full tub together and she washed us both, exploring each other's bodies and trading some DFK. Pom took a shower separately, and by the time she came out, Teo and I were on the bed in some serious foreplay. Neither girl was shaved, which disappointed me quite a bit, but what could I do? Wasn't going to let it ruin the experience - just another preference that went by the wayside. When Pom joined us, Teo and I gave her a massage, meanwhile stealing DFK moments. Then Pom and I gave Teo a massage, also trading kisses, but not DFK.
Finally they gave me a massage, and when it was time to turn me over, I was again disappointed that they went straight for the condom before delivering alternating BJs (another disappointment). I already had the whole STD discussion with them during the taxi drive to the hotel, thinking maybe my recent (printed and available) test results would pave the way at least for BBBJ. Most all the posts I read from Thailand mention BBBJ, so I figured it was a given. Not in my case (sigh). And also disappointing, I tried to maneuver both girls to work on me at the same time, but the best I accomplished was to have one girl sucking while the other kissed my upper thigh. By now I'm thinking, "I don't think these girls are what I call interactive."
After sucking for awhile (I could barely tell, given the latex barrier and my blood alcohol level), Teo mounted me and eventually I got Pom settled on my face so I could demonstrate a proper definition of "giving head" (like it was going to change anything for me). Frankly, I don't remember many details of what happened and in what positions after that - none of it was very memorable - just an average banging episode for an above-average price (IMHO). The girls were categorically non-interactive, other than just both being active at the same time, which at least is better than one girl doing nothing while the other one is doing the work. So, at the end, yep - you guessed it - I can't finish. (hmmm, I wonder why?!) So the girls wash up again, then I do, and we all go to sleep, except that Pom takes the comforter and makes a bed for herself on the floor. That leaves me and Teo on the king-size bed with one pillow. I "sort of" slept throughout the night, and then around 8 am finally started getting Teo aroused enough to have a session. Basic stuff - foreplay, CBJ, cowgirl, finally finished doggie-style, but I pulled it out, took off the condom and blew a thick wad on Teo's leg. About that time, Pom lifts her head off the floor and sees the result and smiles wide and says something congratulatory in Thai. We all get cleaned up (for some reason, no hot water, though). The girls tell me they've got a driver coming to get them, and I take them to breakfast at the hotel, finishing just in time as the driver arrived. I gave them money for the driver and, although in my mind the experience did not warrant any extra tip whatsoever, I also was aware that I had a lot of Thai Baht I needed to spend before tomorrow, plus I do know (and care) that these girls did not receive much of the huge bar fine. So tipping in this case was more humanitarian than anything else. If I had gotten my "dream" night with two girls, they would have been WAY MORE rewarded. That's going to have to be another day, though.
I probably won't go out tonight, but don't be "too" surprised if you see just one more Phuket post! :-)
Anti French comments on the Phuket board ?

JackDaniels,
Chill out Jack.
Let me say this up front, before I start. I was very compelled by the girl you are going to read about in this post. I am going to try my best to give you, the reader, as objective a report as I can. But do keep in mind the high chemistry factor, which could unintentionally distort some of my descriptions. Having said that, I know that some (if not many) of you are also in pursuit of chemistry, preferring it over any other single attribute. If you're a "breast guy" and a girl has perfect ones, that's important to your experience, but I'd wager not nearly as important if the perfectly-constructed chest is attached to a mechanical timeclock or business-only attitude.
My taxi driver had told me that "the girls at the bars are not clean" and discouraged me from shopping there. My Phuket contact said that the local Thai nationals are prone to feel that way about bar girls. So I told the driver I really just wanted to experience the bar scene once while I'm here, and he was fine with taking me wherever I wanted to go.
Taking advice from my Forum friend, I first visited the Kata Center bar area and another small cluster of bars (4-5) just a short distance from Kata City Centre. The bars were essentially dormant at 7:30 PM, so I drew all the attention from whatever girls were at each one. On my scale, the overall girl average was maybe mid-5's. At the first bar, Farang Bar, my driver and I had some Gatorade and just sat talking on the bar stools. (Before embarking I had 3 vodka-tonics in my hotel room.) We left and walked the 100 feet or so in order to pass inspection on the other 3 bars. I did chat only briefly with an 18-year-old from "Isan" (sp? pronounced ee-sahn) who was a 7 and do-able...very dark-complexioned and had a nice smile & body. She also spoke reasonably good English, and I was tempted, but I passed (too early to commit). She was even nice enough (or entrepreneurial enough) to walk me across the busy street to my waiting taxi, expressing hope that I'd be back to get her later. And I did think about it.
Next we went through Karon (on our way to Patong Beach). We almost passed right through except for one stunner that caught my eye at a bar directly across from the "Up Seafood Restaurant". So my driver stopped and waited as I ventured into the bar. I was the only customer and there were about 15 girls there, ranging from 2's to the stunner (a solid 8). Upon entering, another girl (about a 6.5...maybe a 7 by some standards) escorted me to a table and kind of dominated me there. I kept trying to figure out "the game" so I could meet the 8. The 8 did walk around the bar area several times, performing a few menial tasks, but never once made eye contact. Her demeanor also indicated attitude with a capital A. She's probably about 18 years old. The girl I was talking to said that for 100 Baht she could arrange for the other girl to come sit with me. I figured she was joking and played along and finally I realized, she's NOT joking! I didn't pay, of course, and finally just left. The 8 never even looked my way. I'm not George Clooney, but I'm not that bad, either! Maybe that girl only does Asian customers. Who knows? Or, maybe it's just the universal Attitude problem that attractive girls have in abundance. My buddies and I have a phrase, "chootsy girls" - girls who are cute (and know it) and are extra-choosy; "cutesy" + "choosy" girl = chutesy girl.
Next stop, Patong area. Overall had a good time there. Go there some time even if just to have some cheap drinks and girl-watch. My driver and I found a parking space (this is low season), then wound up at a very small bar right on Soi Bang La and Soi Easy, a place called Chili's Bar (not the restaurant chain). Most all the bars are small, but this one was right on the sidewalk and could seat maybe 10 people max. Unlike a vast majority of bars, Chili's does not have any bar girls for take-out service. But we were the first ones there and we instantly liked the approach of the bartender and her older (40-something?) manager, both well developed up top, so we stayed. From about 9-10 PM, we sat and enjoyed the scenery and I chatted up the bartender (she said she owned the bar). I would have taken her (a non-pro, far as I could tell) in a heartbeat, but she declined my advances. I saw another stunning girl, a solid 8-8.5, sitting on a motorbike in front of Chili's, yacking on her cell phone, and despite my efforts, she just totally ignored me. The bartender knew her and assured me she was a woman (not lady-boy). I told my driver that I was just going to wander around all the bars to see what there is to see. Came across that same girl just minutes later in a bar across the street, brushed by her and lightly patted the side of her rear-end as I walked by, hoping she'd take the hint and start a conversation with me. But she barely glanced, caught my eye (and my inviting smile), then with zero facial expression, promptly returned to a conversation she was having with some other girl and some real bozo of a guy standing there. (Sorry...might have been one of you readers!) 2 minutes later I saw an old geezer (another one of you?!) walking out of a bar with a solid 9, and I started getting a little pissed off -- how come guys who are much older and much less fit/attractive are scoring with these hot babes, and I can't even get a smile out of them?? And I know it's not the money - there aren't many guys who can outbid me in that department. So, off I went.
Up and down the main drag, Soi Bang La, there are side-streets like Soi Eric and Soi Cowboy. Along those streets are dozens and dozens of small bars and a couple of large ones (like Tiger Disco). I wandered briefly into the large bars but they were dark, very loud and felt more sterile, not to mention having an abundance of girls - the few 7's and 8's curtly ignored me just as did their chootsy predecessors, while the 3's - 6's urged me to sit down. The same was true as I walked exploring every small bar in every area - girls were beckoning me to come in and sit down, but I thought, "Not enough time for that," and kept walking. I did pause in the "69" bar and talked with one girl that I practically made an arrangement with, but told her I had to go find my driver (well, I did).
I started walking back to Chili's bar, resigned to call it a night because obviously I wasn't old enough and ugly enough to get a real hottie. The hottest of any people I saw were katoey (lady-boys) who seem to cluster in a certain bar or two near the center of Soi Bang La. I'm telling you, they were 9's and they were giving me eye contact and invitational gestures. Figures. Just as I hurried past Malibu bar and line of sight, in the corner of my eye, I spotted a vision bending over to reach for a bite of food off her friend's plate, and I think she saw me glancing at her, and in that briefest of moments, there was a sparkle. I walked another foot or two and did a 180. The moment I re-appeared around the corner of the wall, I caught her in the middle of a bite, and she embarrassingly covered her mouth and suppressed a laugh, those eyes gleaming.
Think Roselyn Sanchez (the latin actress), only shorter and without the benefit of make-up artists and unlimited money to spend on looking good. This girl, "Pom", did not even look Thai - she had mixed-DNA features, although she told me both her parents are Thai. She offered me some food (to which her friend jokingly objected because it wasn't Pom's food to begin with). The chemistry was immediately there. Eye contact, joking around within the first 20 seconds, an offer to share food. I somehow felt that I should be thankful for this renewal and quit while I was ahead, so I told her I had to go find my driver. She said, "No, come sit down. Please, please!" She rushed around the counter and out to the sidewalk, grabbing my hand and leading me inside, while her friend gave me a big smile, a slight nod and a wink that said, "Pom really likes you!" I thought, what's a few more minutes. This girl bewitched me. She was wearing white jeans and a white tank-style T-shirt that showed off a few inches of her superbly brown skin above her pants. I thought she was Brazilian or Colombian. I did notice a sizable tattoo on her lower back and another on her triceps area, but also noticed the top of her thong rising above her pant-line. Her disposition and manners were NOT those of a biker chick or what I normally think of when I see large tattoos. She had one piercing, just a tiny piece of jewelry in the mid part of the right side of her nose. You wouldn't even notice it unless you were up close.
Pom's English is pretty good - we occassionally had to struggle with understanding each other. I felt a definite chemistry and I loved her body, her skin, her energy and those eyes, that smile! I paid for the drinks and the 200 Baht bar fine, and agreed to give her 2000 for all night (I'm sure I could have counter-offered 1500). Part of me felt like I was getting the last word on those previous stunners/shunners, while Pom got the jackpot (me) and those girls got whatever they got (and deserved). The other part of me thought, $50 USD to spend all night with this girl who starts my engine and keeps it running just by sitting next to me? Done deal! Plus, I know she needs the money (2-year-old).
By now it's raining pretty hard, and the Malibu bartender gave me her umbrella to go find my driver. I settled the Chili's bar tab, and by then the cute bartender had been imbibing and was warming up to me. I told her that I had been to every bar and had seen every girl there is to see, but that she would still be my first choice (and this is true). She accused me of sweet-talk, then gave me 2 free Bacardi Breezers and a hug anyway. As we were walking away and about 10 feet down the sidewalk, she ran out and gave me her address. OK, I'm feeling a little better now about my last night in Phuket! :-)
We collect Pom and head to the taxi, then the 40-minute ride to arrive at the hotel by 11:45 or so. We walk inside my villa, Pom closes the door and we just stand there in the dark locked in an embrace, slightly swaying, her head on my chest, for many long minutes (not even sure). We went out onto the balcony overlooking Kata Bay until it started drizzling again. I was already happy and no sex has even occurred (yet).
She showered and I got her situated with a bag of toiletries and other small personal gift items, lit some candles (about 30, actually), and by the time I got out of the shower, she had found a movie on TV that we both got into. So we watched the movie, I gave her a massage (I'm certified) and gave her some oral sex from the rear/underneath. I was very pleased (and a little surprised) that she was shaved, tight and smelled good. After that, she and I were both tired - We enjoyed some high-school-style making out and casual fondling through the bath towels. By now it's around 1:30 AM and we both wanted to sleep, so I blew out the candles and she cuddled up super-close to me (now both naked).
Most girls (esp. service providers) I don't like sleeping next to, for various reasons. Pom was different. Although I woke up intermittently during the night, when I was asleep I was quite soundly asleep. Around 8:30 AM, we were both semi-awake and started a round of foreplay, and practically with no warning or expectation, she slid over me, unsheathed. (It should be noted that the previous night on the taxi ride home, we had an STD discussion, including the fact that I was completely checked out just two weeks ago.) I started slow - she was nicely tight for a mother of a 2-year-old. She got off (I think) and we went to doggie style, my favorite, and it didn't take long for me. I came inside and she went to clean up, followed by me, then we snuggled up again and slept until 11 AM! Since my driver was coming at Noon, and I still needed to pack/check-out, and both of us were hungry, we scrambled out of bed. She folded all my clothes for me and we went to the hotel restaurant for brunch. Dropped her off on my way to the airport, having exchanged phone numbers and e-mail addresses. I got a quick picture on the cell phone as she got out, plus one (or two) from the balcony of my room. I'll post when I can finally upload the cell phone pictures. Stats: 5'2", ~105 lbs., dark mid-shoulder length black hair, Thai but has features of a Latin/South American, great rear-end, nice tummy, breasts look good in push-up bra, but are quite saggy...probably they ballooned during childbirth and then shrank completely - would love to see her with some nice implants. They look good only when she's flat on her back. Shaved and clean; some tattoos/one piercing (nose). Affectionate and pretty good English. One uncovered intercourse session, so I can't tell you about BJ. YMMV.
Some of you no doubt will inquire about her contact information. Send me a PM and we'll chat about it.
Later, guys. One more very serious post from Singapore will wrap up this trip, so be on the lookout for it if you're interested. (Finally got the total-interactive 2-girl experience!)
In answer to the question about The Pink Lady - it's in Phuket Town. I'm told that mainly Asian businessmen know about it and go there - the two girls I chose had never even met an American before, much less spent the night with one. But I gave them much better service than they gave to me (IMHO).
If you get a cab to Phuket Town, the driver should know about the place. Or PM me if you want the number of my driver who can take you there (and speaks good English).
There are actually 4 Pink Lady's in Phuket Town. They are all close to each other. The two big ones are on Phang Nga Road, if you start at the Royal Phuket City Hotel the Pink Lady 2002 is about 50 meters from the front door on the same side of the street. The second is about 200 meters further down past the stoplight and on the other side of the street. The 3 rd is the Pink Lady Chamois which is in the basement of the Metropole Hotel and the 4 th one is a little further away and is the Pink Lady Karoke. The first two are basically the same, large rooms with bar and about 20-35 ladies dressed in evening gowns. Price for farang 4,000 baht all night each and for Asians 3,000 baht. Pink Lady Chamois is a little different. There is a band and you can none of the girls behind the bar is allowed to go with you. The take outs are the ladies sitting on the couches across from the bar. The 4 th is much smaller and you walk in and go upstairs to the second floor and again there are 20-30 ladies in evening gowns. Here you can go to karoke rooms if you want or just take out. Most of the ladies will not have been with a farang. Phuket Town is mostly tour groups from Japan, Korea and Taiwan so they see those customers. The farang mostly stay in the beach towns.
Posting two photos of my wonderful girl from Malibu bar on Soi Bang La, Patong. If you see her and decide to hook up, please be very nice to her. I would say that about any of the girls, but especially her since I know how sweet she is.
Mr Vee
I know that Pom you're talking about. I really love that one. I'm 55 and a bit overweight, but she makes me feel like I'm Brad Pitt. I always see her when I'm in Phuket. I'll be there next month. I'll let her know you thought she was great!
Mr Vee,
I am at a serious loss for words. There's no point telling you how.. oh, geez, just forget it. But how could anyone have unprotected sex with a hooker. It defies logic. Very, very strange.
I am Asian and planning a trip to Phuket end Nov 2004 and need some help with getting a call-in gal to my hotel. I need to be discreet as there are quite a few of my friends who are straight and I wouldn't want them to know. Anyone with FL or contact numbers, appreciate if you can PM me. Thanks.
Lucifer
Hi Lucifer,
Suggest you get another Hotel room and bonk your pants off bro. It's a wasted trip if you dont make the most of it in Phuket. :)

Is the Banana Disco still going in Phuket?
Can anybody recommend a reasonable Hotel to stay at, I guess in Patong, I'll be going in November,
Thanks
Heeey,
I'm coming to Krabi in December and would appreciate any general or specific info . What is the town like? Is it affected by the rebel violence at all? Any good MPs? Thats the kind of stuff I'm talking about?

I made a recent trip to Patong. Here's the full report.
Airport:
I went straight to the cash machine and withdrew 20kb. I bought a 550b limo cab ticket at the airport. I waved the ticket near the mass of people outside the airport and someone put me into a very nice Toyota. It didn't look like a cab but it was very nice. Took about 1hr to Patong in the driving rain. Driver stopped off at a travel agency to try to get me to rebook my hotel. I quickly told the woman to get the driver and we were off within 5 minutes. (This is a common ploy but it's taken to extremes in Phuket, especially when taking a cab in Phukettown 'cause the driver takes you to just about every souvenir shop he knows of, probably for a commish, whether you want to or not. It's quite annoying but the cab ride is very cheap, 20-40b.) I did not encounter this years ago in Phuket. Anyways I suggest booking the taxi through your hotel for the same price to avoid the mass of confusion outside the airport and the inevitable stop at the TA.
Blue Ocean Resort:
From phuket.com, I booked the 1000b/night room as per a review in this forum and said 2 guests. It was fast and easy. When I arrived, I noticed the 300b fee for "friends". I tried to squirm out of the fee using the "... but I booked 2 guests" but when I checked out, there was the additional charge for my friends. At least for me, I see no way out of this. To me the fee isn't too unreasonable considering the security at night seemed to be pretty good. The girl must check in her ID card. I guess you could avoid the fee if you got it on real early in the day before security arrives but what fun would that be? BOR is an OK hotel, clean and maybe 2-3stars. Hard to beat the price with such a large room to myself and great location. There is a 2000b deposit for the inroom safe.
Patong Beach:
Ahhh even in rainy season the beach is great, only a 5 min walk. Plenty of food around and plenty of shopping. Zillions of travel agencies to book tours and internet access galore. Laundry only 10-40b per item. I highly recommend the packaged tours if you've never done them before. It was a bit awkward with 3 people (2 friends + me) on the tour, though. Couples work out best. Mostly Japanese and Euro tourists at the beach.
PhuketTown:
It's something like 20b to Phukettown on the bus or maybe 300b by tuk-tuk. You can flag the bus anywhere along the beach road or go to the S end at the bus stop. From town, just pickup the bus at the road with all the buses. If you jump off at places like "Central" shopping center, it might be a bit more diff catching the bus back as opposed to the bus stop in town. Taxi's in town are pretty cheap but beware of the side trips to shops.
Good Stuff1:
I don't usually like the bar scene but I did have fun at one of the big Soi discos. One of the stage/house dancers basicly latched onto me, actually the hottest one too. Naturally she latched onto the best lookin' guy in the place, although I have to admit, I think I was initially the only guy in the place. Damn I like the rainy season i.e. slow season. Damage was 1000b for drinks, pool table, etc. Girl gets a cut of everything. Free lancers were not attractive at all to me, although one of the other stage dancers looked more than acceptable. I offered 700b bar fine + 3000b LT since I knew she would probably accept that offer. Girls at Rock Hard wanted 4000b and weren't nearly as attractive or friendly, even though others have reported that RH has the the best lookers. I had a great time dancing and talking with this girl. She acted (and actually looks) exactly like a Japanese porn star throughout the night so she must have copied some porn movies she saw. She left early in the morning to my dismay. That and no BJ were the only disappointments. One time she actually noticed that the waitress didn't bring back my change and told the waitress to give me my change. Damn if I was younger (she was a young 25), I might have fallen hard for her. Her personality made me wish she finds another job or finds a nice guy to settle down with. Maybe you could be that lucky guy, hehe.
Good Stuff2:
Met a slim, petite 20yr old with nice tits and darker skin walking Rat-u-thit. Turned out she was just scouting for action from her bar in Soi Lion. She spoke limited english and just kept saying Yes to many of my questions, except when I asked about some A-action, hehe. I doubt if she's ever had a real boyfriend since she did pretty much everything I wanted but she seemed to lack real experience. She seemed a bit slow in the noggin too. 300 or 400b bar fine and 1500LT plus 500tip. We did some drinkin, played some games at the bar, etc. and I bought her some clothes so probably another 1200b damage. I could have taken her a few more times but I decided to save my bullets hoping for better action later. Probably should have decided this earlier and saved the 1000b in clothes.
More Good Stuff:
The girls at Christins massage aren't the youngest or best looking as compared to the majority of the bar girls but the massage service is good. It's around 2000-2500b with 500b tip but it's worth it IMHO. Place is very clean. If you dislike the open air bar/disco scene or don't want the all night partying, then I recommend this place since you can see all the girls behind a 2-way glass wall and basicly pick the one you want.
Danger, danger Will Robinson:
Phuket in general is safe in terms of crime. It is very dangerous when it comes to motorcycles and cars. I also noticed high power lines hanging low enough to hit my umbrella while walking on flooded roads. Losing power seemed like a daily occurence. Be careful in Phuket because my guess is that there isn't a lot of laws to safeguard people from accidents.
Misc:
The disco across from Rock Hard was closed, maybe for the low season. Next time in Phuket, I'm going to stay at the City Hotel for a few days instead of all my time in Patong. I would like to try some of the action in Phuket like Pink Lady, karaoke, etc. I'm also hoping to find some ultra-hot lookers because although I picked the ultra cream of the crop girls from Patong, I was slightly disappointed in the quality. I'm not rich but I'm also not poor either so I don't mind supporting the expensive life style of a Thai super model for a few days during the low season.
Hi sports fans,
I have searched way back in the messages looking for any hotels to stay at theat have a massage service that offer extras. Since I will be with my SO I figure a hotel massage/spa is the best chance I have for any extracurricular fun.

I'll be in Phuket next week, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a couple of MP's in Patong, Karon, or Kata. I'm looking for "extra services", of course, as well as a place that offers good soapy's.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Smoke and Mirrors, thanks for posting the local news, what does that mean?
Should I cancel my trip mid-November because there will be no pussy.
Tell me there is still lots of pussy to be had anyway.

BS: I really think there is only one "soapy" around Patong--at least that's my expenience. It's Chrisine's (sp) and any tuk-tuk driver will be glad to take you there. I haven't actually used there services for a couple of years, but I did take a "newbie" there last week. Bt 1800, 2200 & 2500 for 75 minutes.
There were several in the fishbowl that looked very nice to me.
BTW, for a great bar and music, try Tai Pan, essentially straight ahead at the end of Soi Bangla--gowing away from the beach. For Patong, it was a very good band, nice atmosphere, plenty of TGs. It turns into a disco about 11PM and everything in Patong is closing at 1AM or 1:30 these days.
I'm heading out to Thailand in a couple of weeks. Will be spending some time in Phuket. Are there any good hotels along Karon Beach that are girl friendly? If so, what are they and what's the best way to find the cheapest rates?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I flex in from Patong, on the 1780 Bhat bangkok air web special. Took a 150 Bhat minivan from the airport, which of course stopped at a tour place to "check our tickets". I told everyone to get back on the bus ASAP, but one sucker wasted all our time booking hotels. With all the hassle dropping everyone off at their hotels, this took long enough to make a cab maybe worthwhile next time. Wandered around town to check out different hotels, and ended up staying at: [url]http://www.phuketdir.com/tterrace/[/url] which has very good rates, is new, and generally very clean and functional. And it's a 5-10 minute walk from Bangla Road, the heart of the scene. I'd recommend it... when I brought home a gal to my room they checked her ID and didn't mention any extra charges. I have a padlock and cable, which sufficed to lock the handles together of the wardrobe in my room that has my valuables. One idea I've come up with for storing valuables is simply to put them in heavy luggage on the top shelf of the closet. The gals are so short and small that even with a chair they probably couldn't get it down themselves.
First night I checked out a few bars, and ended up hanging with a good looking BG who it turned out was actually from Laos not Thailand. Spent 700B on drinks which was kind of amazing for just a few rounds... her drinks of course were about twice what mine cost.
I'm new to the BG scene, and I found that it's best to be proactive, looking around for the gals that are interesting to you, even if they aren't necessarily pulling you into their place. This gal that I ended up with was sitting looking off into a corner and actually seemed surprised when I approached her, pushing my way through the other BGs.
But she very quickly warmed up and was all over me soon, very friendly and spoke enough english that I could have a decent conversation. Amazing body. We played bar games (connect 4 is quite popular) and sat together while she danced and stared into my eyes with a smile.
I said I'd like to take her home, and she said that'll be 2000 bhat. I probably should have negotiated down, but she was so friendly and hot that I agreed. In bed she was quite a tiger, gyrating and generally seeming to seek my cock with her pussy. I had to push her away a few times before I had the condom on, which is kinda scary but at least felt warm. She really seemed to want it.
After the first time she tried several times for a second, but that was not to be that night. In the morning she seemed a bit tired but still quite graciously initiated another round. We had the talk about how long she would stay with me, and I said I'm not sure, but paid her 2200 Bhat (200 tip) for that day. She said she had to go deal with a roomate who got locked out of her place, but that I could find her in the same bar tonight if I wanted.
That night I was walking past the her place (Soi Lion I think) and heard running behind me. She had seen me and ran up to say hi. Which is amazing because her bar is the one all the way at the end of the Soi so she must have had X ray vision. I hung out with her a bit more, but then went on. Didn't really feel like doing much that evening (Dive class in the morning), so just went to sleep.
Next day, went to Christin Massage, a soapy that happens to be located across the street from my hotel. The girls there aren't quite as good looking as you can find in the bars, and often wear way too much makeup. They have three sections, the left is the 1800 bhat, middle 2500, and right 2200. I think when I had dropped by earlier in the day the rates were lower by a few hundred. I spent a few minutes walking by. Every girl waves and smiles when you look at them, but there was one girl with great eyes in the middle section with a friendly smile even when I wasn't looking at her. She was attractive, although not overly so, perhaps a 7.
Told mamasan who I wanted, and she was waiting near the cash window, where I paid the 2500. For some reason it took several minutes to process the transaction (perhaps cleaning the room?) and I was getting leary, but then the gal led me to a room.
I'd only experienced a "soapy" once in Washington DC at an underground brothel, and that was some of the most enthusiastic providing I've experienced. This experience was similar. It was very laid back and unrushed, while she set the air mattress down and soaped it up, then led me over and moved her hands and body over me in amazingly tingly ways. Then on to a big oval bath where we slipped around a little more and she made sure we were both very clean. And finally over to the bed where she provided enthusuastic service. I was happy to see that she used the condom I provided, although she tried open mouth kissing, I just kept my mouth shut and enjoyed. After it was over she stared into my beautiful eyes and generally just enjoyed the glow sitting with me :-) About 10 minutes later I was ready to go and she was checking out the possibilities for a second time. She asked for a tip and I gave her 300 bhat. She acknowledged it in a neutral way... I'm not sure what appropriate tip is.
Anyway, the service was very highly rated. The only problem is there just aren't really good looking girls here at Christin Massage.
This was a Friday night, and I was surprised at how little action there was at 8pm in the bars... it must be a late night scene here, because there were hardly any girls or customers in the bars.
BTW I also checked out that place where the gals pull stuff out of their pussy... can't remember the name, might have been Seadragon or RockHard. Ping pong balls, needles, razors, smoking lit cigarettes, blowing whistles. It was impressive but not at all sexy. One of the gogo girls was cute and I sat with her while she tried hard to convince me to go up to a room with her for 2300 (300 barfine, 500 room, 1500 for her). But that wasn't the right time for me so I bailed.
First time in Phuket - arriving from Djakarta... NOT first time in LOS. Showing a buddy the country:
Looking to find a "no hand" bar in Patong, and a massage place that do the full works, like Darling in BKK.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Planning a 3 nights' trip in March to thailand. sun, sea and girls.
Which of the 3 places are the best value for a holiday?
Are katoeys particularly more in certain towns/cities?
I'm sorry I don't have too much time to write right now, but after reading just a few posts I feel the need to say something.
1) as mentioned by others, don't book your hotel from the mini bus company, and tell all of the other passengers about the scam after the bus takes off from the airport
2) No one should be paying more than $1000 for long-term unless they are really old, really fat, or fucking ugly. Exception to this rule is at Rock hard or some of the go gos, which ask for $1500+. Don't be an sucker, ALWAYS negotiate your price. If she likes you, or if you just ask, you can easily get the normal price. Would buy a DVD on the street if the guy asked you for $250 without negotiating? So why do it with the girls. (BTW DVDS are always 100bt or less if buying a lot)
3) Don't buy more than one lady drink for any single girl, unless you just want to throw your money away. If you're out mongering, the money you save on drinks can be more well spent of pussy. NTM if you are sitting there buying a lot of drinks, they're going to try to take advantage of you more because they will think you have a lot of money to spend, and they will help you do it. BTW, most bars give the girls half of the price of the drink, so again, why not just pay the money to the girl directly? Also, there is no rule that says that you have to buy a drink for anyone, including yourself, at least not right away. Many bars have "greeter girls" who are the best looking ones, or ones with BFs, who will grab you and sit you down and try to get you to order a drink ASAP plus one for themselves. My advice, sit down and talk with the girls for at least 2 minutes. If there is one you are interested in, and she is willing to talk with you before you buy her a drink, then buy her one and one for yourself. Then get to know her more. If you are looking to just go out and party with the girls before taking one home later in the evening, then you should just buy yourself an entire bottle of whisky (and most bars will give you the mixer for free, coke/water/etc) then you can hand out drinks to who ever you want, plus you know that you are actually buying drinks, and not just watered down something.
4) MP's in Phuket are terrible service, or way over priced. Unless you're with your wife and need to use the "massage" as an excuse to get laid you should avoid them all. I say this because you will get a lot more for your money by hooking up with a BG. You can hook up with a BG at any time of day, anywhere. Just be cool when you aproach the girl on the street. You should be able to tell who is a player and who isn't by their clothes, etc. Christin's MP is a total rip off and should be avoided at all costs. It's huge, yes, but as mentioned earlier 1800-3000 for an hour and 15 min. is a total rip off. The girls there have really bad attitudes, very mechanical, many take drugs, most will only want to fuck once and waste a lot of time to make sure that happens, and ALL of them without any doubt will try to hit you up for a tip no matter how bad their services are. (BTW, 1800 gets you a fat, ugly, 40 year old, and 3000 only gets you a average looking 25 year old) Only 2 years ago it was full of better looking girls, and younger, and the price was only 1500 for 90 min. This place is run by the Thai-Chinese Mofia and now most of the better looking girls stay in BKK
5) Tiger Disco and Tai Pan is where all of the flreelancers are, plus most of the BGs go there after 12am where they can be picked up w/o a bar fine. If you do pick a girl latter in the night, again, again, again, never ever pay more than 1000 all night.
6) Tipping isn't a Thai custom and isn't expected. However, ALL girls know to ask Farang for a tip because most guys will give them one just for asking. If your girl doesn't do everything that you want or you are not 100% satisfied, then don't tip her. If you give her what you agree upon, she will be happy and won't cause any problems. If she does have a problem, just tell her that this is the reason why you're not giving her a tip. If you are satisfied and want to tip her, an extra 100 will be fine. No, I'm not cheap, I'm experienced.
7) Big Scam alert!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right now the biggest scam that most, if not all, of the girls are doing is this...they will agree to go with you for long time, but after one shot they will make up an excuse to leave. For example, the one someone said in a recent post where the girl had to help her roomate get into their house. Total BS! and don't fall for it. After the girl makes up her excuse, tell her she agreed to Long term and you would not have paid her barfine for short time. If she wants to go, you really don't want to keep her. BUT, you shouldn't pay her either, at least not the full amount. ST is $500 in Phuket, no matter what the girl says, never give her more. Actually, you shouldn't even give her the 500, you should only give her $300. I know that I might sound like an asshole or cheap charlie, but again it's because of experience. All barfines are split with the girls, although the % changes from bar to bar. A LT bar fine is about twice as much as a ST, so both the girl and the bar are scamming you out of your money, especially if you fall for their BS and pay her more than 500. Trust me, 500 is the FAIR price in this situation, no matter how much she bitches or puts up an act, which they all know how to do. One of their scare tactics is to say that she will tell her boss at the bar or other girls and you won't be able to take any more girls. Total BS and don't believe it for a second. You can ALWAYS find other girls, and even at the same bar. She won't say anything because she'll lose face for not scamming you, plus she originally agreed to LT and even the boss knows this. Yes, they all tried to scam you, but they don't want to get a bad reputation. Personally, if one girl in one bar tries the scam, you can bet most of the other girls will do the same thing and you should look at another bar anyway.
8) High season is here now, so ALL of the women will be coming back to work because they know a lot of Farang will be coming with a ton of cash. Although I talked about prices earlier, the really really young and hot girls know that they can get more money during the high season and will ask for more. High season is more of a seller's market. Like I said, being young and good looking will help you get more girls/better quality girls for a lower price. Just never pay the girls Western prices.
9) one more note, new legislation is being battled right now in all of Thailand, so closing times in Phuket are now 1am, if enforced. Plenty of girls on the street after this time, so don't worry too much. But, the police do like to clear the streets of all of the girls within an hour or so of closing times. Just aproach them in the restaurants or walking home. The ones walking home should be a lot cheaper because they know this is their last chance to make money.
Sorry to all that I haven't posted more in the past few months and that I didn't finish my report starting in BKK. I'll try to post more about Phuket experiences when I have more time.
Adjarn
Adjarn,
Thanks for the information. I will hope the fellow mongers here will follow suite & listen to your advice. It benefits us all now and in the future to keep the pricing and local customs in place. Looking forward to your reports, as I am planning a trip to Phuket next year. Thanks.

Was back in Phuket between 10/18-10/23. 2004.I enjoy Karon beach much more than Patong. Lot more low key and still plenty of girls. This is a pic of a little honey I pulled out of the My New Friend bar. She didn't talk price ahead of time. She was a little animal. She kept stickin her tounge down my throat while she road me hard. A little to hard come to think. It took me 2 weeks to heal. she bruised the hell of me. She must not of been laid in a while.I should of charged her for I was the one being abused. I hung out with her for a couple of days and gave her 3000B when I left. Nice Gal,fun to be around.
The announced rate was 990 Bht for double (room only). The hotel sucked but for that price i thought it was OK. It was a bad surprise though when they charged me another 500 Bht joiner when I showed up with a chick i picked from Tiger Disco. You can stay at a better place wthich is girl-friendly.
Tiger Disco really rocks! It was kind of an orgy after 1.00 am, girls passing by grabbing your member, I can not even remember with how many I made out with before deciding on my 22 year old darling for the night. Some very cute Russians could also be found. Total damage 1000 Bht LT for the girl and 500 Bht for the joiner to Hotel.
Entry to Tiger costs 100 Bht, one beer is included. I heard from 2 american guys that Banana and Tai Pan are also great.
I strongly agree with Adjarn. Always negotiate the price.The girls can always start up with a price like 3000 Bht LT but they will always say yes to 1000 Bht LT.
IMHO, in terms of number and beauty of girls, Phuket beats Bangkok by far.
Adjarn,
I would like to know the location of Tiger Disco & Tai Pan as I'm be going to Phuket in January. Is there any action near Diamond Cliff hotel, as I'm be staying there ? Any other things to look out for when I'm there.
Thanks in advance.
Tai Pan is located at the intersection of Bangla Rd and Rat-U-Thit Road. Tiger disco is located mid way on Bangla Rd. A nice in between would be the rock hard go go....the scene outside the Tai pan at 2:00am is awesome...
Note that diamond clifff is a good 3 km from the action, you should be able the bounce back and forth with a motorbike or taxi....
have fun

Although others have already answered some questions regarding the locations of Tiger disco and Tai Pan, I just wanted to point out a few other places. There is also the Banana Disco along the beach,not too far away from McDonalds. It's a few minutes away from the main strip "Soi Bangla" and there aren't any other ladies bars in the area, but inside you can find some real stunners, plus a lot of girls there on vacation looking to hook up with someone. My personal favorite, is to hook up with all of the hot Japanese girls on vacation, and of course no money is involved. However, ALL of the Thai guys are also after the Japanese girls, as you will see them swarming all around them on the beach. In Japan they might not want to hook up with a dark skinned uneducated guy, but on vacation they're just looking to get boned. I try to be the guy that gets the job done.
Some people have asked about Shark Disco recently, and I just wanted to say it's no longer there, and won't be coming back. The story was that the Foreign owner didn't want to pay more money to the cops, on top of what he was already paying. Then, the cops somehow got a video of a chick giving a guy a BJ on the top floor of the disco and put out a warrent for his arrest. he fled Thailand, and then it was taken over by a Thai "family" with connections with the cops. The re-opened with Star Wars disco in the same location and was open for 1-2 years, but the quality of the whole scene just went down hill. Mostly because of the horrible DJs they had playing "arabic disco" music etc. At the same time all of this was happening, the Tiger complex was opening up. Originally, Tiger Disco was terrible. Not only for music, but also for picking up the ladies. When shark closed, everything changed. It took a long time to rent out the bars under the tiger disco as well, but now most of them are full, except a few in the far end.
Overall, the scene in Phuket has been changing a lot over the past 5 years or so. Today, most of the bars don't even get hopping until after 10pm (of course there are some women available earlier), then around midnight or so, the bar girls start heading over to the discos and tai pan to check out the action there. Then maybe go back to their bars, etc. etc. The bars used to have stricter rules keeping the girls, but not really anymore. Of course, all of this is NOT during the high season. High season is totally different. For about 2-3 months, Phuket will be packed full of girls looking to make extra cash from the tourists. The bars should be full by 10pm, but again the really hot girls will arrive whenever they want because they know they will be barfined and don't want to fuck all night long. Some will just show up at midnight in the disco and do ST. Remember what I talked about ST in my previous post.
Enjoy!
I met her in September. She was a FL hanging out at Tiger Disco. She hangs with another friend named Nid. Lala has red hair, at least when I met her. She looks more Japanese than Thai, very light skin, slender, about 5'2". Real sweet. She was my dream girl there.
Just wondering if anyone has met her lately...
Brothers,
Any reports from the tsunami in Phuket? Hope all is well. Get to high ground, this is not over.

CNN reports :
[b]Many missing at sea off Thailand[/b]
[i]Sunday, December 26, 2004 Posted: 2:32 AM EST (0732 GMT)[/i]
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- Twenty people died and many others were missing in southern Thai resorts after a major earthquake hit Southeast Asia on Sunday, a disaster official said.
It wasn't clear how they died. At least four of the dead were tourists, said Sorajak Chusaeng, of the Narenthorn Center of the Public Health Ministry.
The victims were in Songkhla, Phuket, Krabi, Phang Nga and Surat Thani provinces, which draw thousands of visitors each year because of their world-famous beaches.
The center earlier reported that some people had been swept away off a Phuket beach by tidal waves surging as high as five meters (16 feet) after an 8.5-magnitude earthquake hit near the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
Several southern Thai resorts were flooded. On Phang-Nga, another popular tourist area near Phuket, people sought refuge from the floods on rooftops. Cars were carried away by rising waters in neighboring Krabi, Sorajak said.
Watcharat Hospital in Phuket was full, with many foreigners coming from hotels on popular Kamala and Patong beaches, said a hospital official who declined to be named.
The tourists have told hospital officials that they were sitting on the beach when the tsunami suddenly appeared. They said a lot of people died, and at least 30 boats filled with tourists were lost at sea.

fox news showed some shots of very familiar areas they don't look much the same. noting travel is currently suspended to phuket. things will be very different now.
hopefully nobody we know was effected.
it is hard to understand how warnings couldn't be broadcast faster than a moderate speed wave that can be seen from the air. (it took over an hour for the waves to reach phuket) [url]http://www.phuketgazette.net/[/url]
expect reconstruction sales similar to months following florida hurricanes. i recall being in mexico after some substantial storms. it can take over a year to build over the signs of damage.
indonesia 8.9-magnitude quake causes asia tidal waves (update4)
last updated: december 26, 2004 03:13 est
[url]http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000087&sid=aglkf7q9byka&refer=top_world_news[/url]
dec. 26 (bloomberg) -- an 8.9-magnitude earthquake, the fifth strongest in a century, struck the indonesian island of sumatra, unleashing giant tidal waves that killed hundreds of people across india and southeast asia.
the quake's magnitude was raised to 8.9 from 8.5 by the u.s. geological survey on its web site. nine aftershocks measuring between 5.8 and 7.3 spread across a zone from sumatra to india's andaman island within four hours of the initial jolt, it said.
the earthquake and flash floods in sumatra killed at least 60 people, the national earthquake center in jakarta said. tsunami waves killed at least 523 people in sri lanka, 100 in the andamans and six in malaysia, agence france-presse said. other news agencies reported more than 200 people dead in southern india and 26 dead at beach resorts in southern thailand. thousands of people were reported missing across southeast asia.
``my mother was in the sea when the giant wave came and she escaped with only a minor bruises, thanks to help from other people,'' said francois goret, a french resident in the resort city of phuket whose house is on karon beach. ''water came at least 50 meters inland. chairs on the beach were washed away.''
the indonesia earthquake, which struck about 7 a.m. local time, was centered offshore about 1,605 kilometers (1,000 miles) northwest of jakarta at a depth of 10 kilometers, the u.s. geological survey said.
high waves
it created tsunami waves as high as 5 meters (17 feet) along the north coast of aceh province in indonesia, knocking out at least one bridge and flattening some buildings, said the geology and meteorology office.
``i'm afraid the number is going to increase,'' budi waluyo, an official at the national earthquake center said of the death toll in indonesia. ``we are having problems communicating with people there.''
the threat from tsunamis, or waves triggered by seismic activity, isn't over, officials said. ``we expect the big waves to lash chennai and parts of tamil nadu for the next two days,'' a.k. shukla, head of the indian meteorological department, said in a phone interview from new delhi.
there were no immediate reports of damage to oil facilities in indonesia, southeast asia's biggest oil producer.
``as long as you don't see any damage to the facilities, especially the oil and gas pipelines, i don't see the impact as being significant,'' said song seng wun, regional economist with g.k. goh holdings ltd. in singapore.
maldives
major damage was reported in the maldives, resort islands southwest of india. no details were immediately available.
thai prime minister thaksin shinawatra said he can't recall tidal waves of that magnitude hitting the nation's shores before. phuket is a favorite destination for foreign tourists during the end-of-year holiday season. some beachgoers were reportedly swept out to sea by the waves.
''phuket was most affected, not just people bathing in the sea but people driving their cars,'' thaksin told reporters. ''people have died, but we can't say how many yet.''
the sheraton grande laguna in phuket moved all its guests to a safe area when big waves hit hotel, staff there said. ``every beach area got wiped out,'' gary halpin, 43, a new zealander who runs a diving business in phuket, a tourist resort area on thailand's west coast, which faces the andaman islands. ``bungalows were wiped out and the bigger buildings had windows broken.''
second in week
the indonesian quake is the second in the world this year of magnitude 8 or greater. last week a magnitude 8.1 temblor was recorded in the southern ocean between australia and antarctica by the u.s. geological survey.
magnitude 8 earthquakes are capable of causing severe loss of life if centered near heavily populated areas. an 8.1 quake in mexico city in 1985 killed about 9,500 people.
the worst earthquake since 1900 was a 9.5-magnitude temblor in chile in 1960, according to the u.s. geological survey, followed by two earthquakes in alaska and one in russia's kamchatka region.
indonesia's 18,000 islands are prone to earthquakes because the nation sits along the pacific ``ring of fire,'' a zone of active volcanoes and faults in tectonic plates.
Let's take a minute of silence and pray that any and all fellow mongerers, girls, and innocents are okay
It could have been any of us.
I've just returned from a lovely week in Patong and I heard the news just now. I hope you are all well and safe, good luck!
Hope and prayer goes out to everyone!
Hello everyone in Phuket
My prayers are with you, I realise things must be awful there but I hope you can help.
I usually stay in the Patong Bay Garden Hotel, it's right on the beachfront just up from Bangla, they must have got it bad, I've tried contacting the hotel but can't get through.I appreciate they and you have more important things to do but can you tell me how they are, as well as the massage/manicure girls and the little cafe on the beach just beside the hotel. They are all very nice people and I would hate to think anything happened to them.
Beside the hotel just down from Boots pharmacy there is a small arcade, a lovely woman called Na runs an internet shop and hair salon, last week she was looking after two little neices about 4 and 2 years old, Christ alone knows what they would do if 20 feet of water came crashing in. Please can someone find out if are they alright, when I was there the little one was sleeping in a bed in the back at 10am, I am horrified to think about it.
I understand everyone will want information like this but I would be very grateful if someone could help.
Thanks
from the bbc...
at least 257 people died and 1,000 were injured after the massive sea surges caused by an earthquake smashed into thailand's western coast.
the worst hit areas were on beaches near phuket, with reports of divers and sunbathers being swept out to sea.
hotels were under water after 5m-10m (16 to 33 feet) waves hit the coast and there were reports of tourist bungalows being carried away by the water.
tourists spoke of their disbelief at the scale and speed of the disaster.
"the beach is a disaster now with all of the local restaurants and beach chairs businesses totally destroyed," one reader in phuket told the bbc news website.
one hotel worker in phuket said the tide of water flooded the hotel lobby and pulled furniture onto the street.
"as i was standing there, a car actually floated into the lobby and overturned because the current was so strong," boree carlsson told reuters news agency.
thai officials said the toll was expected to rise because scores of people were still missing.
there were particular fears for divers, since the tidal wave hit when hundreds of tourists and instructors were in the water for a boxing day dive.
up to 80 divers were reported to be trapped in the famous emerald cave, which divers can only reach by swimming underwater.
on the island of koh phi phi, made famous as the location for the 2000 film "the beach", officials spoke of widespread damage and islanders and tourists being airlifted to safety.
one report from the island said 200 bungalows had been swept out the sea.
tourism is one of thailand's most important industries, with hundreds of thousands of western and asian tourists drawn to its beaches each year.
in neighbouring malaysia, at least 20 people were reported killed after the tidal waves hit. most of the dead were in the holiday resort of penang.

As the death toll approaches 30K, it is clear that this was avoidable.
The ocean bouy warning system was not able to protect Phuket, because in Thailand only the other shore is protected for Bangkok and Pattaya.
USGS reports frantically alerting countries effected, but few if any had any type of national alert system.
Possibly with this well known issue, Phuket will be protected in the future.
Killer tsunami takes high toll in Thailand
By John Hail
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
Bangkok, Thailand, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Frantic search and rescue operations were mounted Monday for thousands of foreign tourists and Thai coastal residents missing or cut off after massive tsunami waves hit the region.
Thai officials said 451 people were confirmed to have been killed after the waves crashed over some of the country's most popular beach resorts Sunday, with at least 2,000 injured and nearly 400 missing and feared drowned.
They said they expected the death toll to rise further as rescue teams reach several outlying islands, including Kho Phi Phi, where about 200 scuba divers and other foreign tourists were among the missing.
The idyllic island, which was used as a backdrop for the 2000 film, "The Beach," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, was devastated by the tidal waves, with scores of divers swept away.
Among those killed was Thai King Bhumipol's American-born grandson, Bhumi, 21, who was reported to have been out on a jet ski off the southern resort of Khao Lak in Phang-nga province when the killer tsunami hit Sunday morning.
Thailand's world-renowned beach resorts at Phuket were also hit hard by the tidal waves, which crashed into beach-front bungalows and bars and sent fishing boats smashing into hotels and shop houses.
"The beach front is ruined and will take months and months to get back to its former self," Swiss national Shankar Biman told United Press International on Phuket island. "I have not seen such devastation since I experienced ruins left after World War II in northern Italy. And it is the first time I have seen the results of unleashed natural forces.
"The tourists have packed their bags and left," Biman said. "Many thousands of people have lost their livelihood, luckier than the many who lost their lives," he said.
Phuket's governor said the bodies of more than 35 foreign tourists had been recovered from the island's beaches.
Two trawlers were reported missing off the coast of Ranong province, and dozens of fishing boats were also swamped by the tsunami.
The waves hit at the height of the tourist season, when thousands of Western tourists and locals were enjoying their Christmas holidays.
Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who flew to Phuket Sunday night to take charge personally of rescue and relief operations, said the evacuation of tourist beaches was proceeding smoothly.
"Don't panic," he said. "Now, there is no problem in the inner city (of Phuket). People have already been evacuated from risk-prone areas. We will try to give them comforts and accommodations as much as we can."
He said ambassadors and other officials from 25 countries were going to Phuket to keep track of their nationals who have been killed, injured or are missing since the killer waves struck the area.
Public Health Minister Sudarat Keyuraphun said medical personnel were being rushed to Phuket's Patong Hospital, which was swamped with hundreds of people injured by the waves.
Thousands of Thai and foreign relatives of the victims waited at the hospital and other points on the island for news of their loved ones.
As someone who went through the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake and tsunami in Alaska, my hopes and prayers are with each of you. If you have any suggestions for active relief agencies that seem to be making a difference, please post contact info so we can make donations.
Very sad, dunno what to say.
Lets pray for the death toll stop climbing.

What I dont get is: there were a couple of hours between the quake and the tsunami hitting Phuket, right? And it clearly was going to hit, this was well known for those 2 hours. Lots of people knew a wall of water was moving across the ocean toward Thailand, and Indonesia just got slammed by it. There's no warning sytem on Phuket, but why werent the hotel owners on the beach alerted? And local police? There was something like a 2 hour window to get the word out. Its not like Phuket is an Indian fishing village, its a major international resort island with plenty of expensive hotels with phones and internet access right on the beach. Why werent there hotel waiters, owners, police, anyone and everyone running around on the beach screaming their heads off? If they werent notified, why not? The information was out there, why werent they called? Why werent police trucks going nuts on the beach, warning people? This is a real question, not a rhetorical one, if anyone out there knows how it went down on Phuket please let me (us) know. To me, even without an official warning system, what happened could have been prevented, a lot of lives could have been saved -unless theres something I'm missing here. Like a lot of other people here, I'm a frequent visitor to Thailand and am really disturbed about what happened.
a friend was able to make it out in one piece. but here is his story. gives us all a reason to be thankful.
***************
where to start? well, i'm alive, that's a start. quite an interesting day, to say the least. i woke up about 7:30, showered and came down to the open air lobby for a cup of coffee and to decide what to do for the day. since i'm on vacation, i've been deciding things on a whim, and yesterday was no different. while drinking my coffee sue, the owner's girlfriend, came over and we started chatting about my plans. i spent the previous day on railey beach, so i figured to head to phi phi. this is at 8:20. she said there are two ferries, leaving at 8:30 and 10:30. hurry, she said, and i can get you on the 8:30. so i rushed to pack and get on the bus to the ferry landing. no problem. stopped at railey beach to pick up a few more people, and then we motored on towards phi phi.
nearing the island, a few people on deck noticed a wall of white water further out to sea, like a wave breaking early. thinking nothing of it, we sat back down and waited to get there. wait is the key word. when we got to phi phi, there were several boats waiting just outside of the harbor, and no boats in the harbor...i mean nothing was there. this is when the information we were getting starts to get sketchy, and rumors are flying. first we are told the tide is too low, and the waves are pushing the boats too much.
soon after i hear this, i see a giant white wave breaking over phi phi, the second or final tidal wave to crash over the island. we arrived at about 11:00. the first wave hit at about 10:45, followed by two more, devasting the island, killing many. we were at the right place at the right time, within minutes of being overturned. the shelter of the island actually took the brunt of the force, sparing us. as we were sitting in front of phi phi, which we did for 6 hours, we started to get news. first, we saw boats floating by, speed boats overturned in the trees at phi phi, trees and rubish in the water, which got heavier and heavier as time wore on. a large ferry, similar to ours, pulled up next to us; it had left just after we did from ao nong. there were a few people aboard, and one of the crew came on, bleeding from a would to his chest, hysterical. another was carried on board, with scratches and cuts all over his body. they were missing the rest of the crew; the boat was tossed in the air by the wave we just missed.
oddly, the thais on our boat didn't seem too terribly concerned about this guy. i mean he has gashes all over his body, his feet are bleeding through his dirty bandages, and all they can do is lay him down. a german couple and i gave him first aid, cleaning his wounds and putting on new bandages. deep lacerations and puncture wounds all over his feet and ankles. by this time everyone fairly understands something has gone terribly wrong, but still, no announcement come from the boat, just rumors from one of the crew members. at no time did they make an announcement telling us what to do, or when we'll go. up until we left, we were still thinking we were going to phi phi.
rumors of a tidal wave, killing thousands, began to surface. another boat pulls along side us, loading a few more injured people for us to take to the mainland. finally, after 7 hours on the boat, we started back to ao nong, where we started. as we began to approach the mainland, the rubbish started to show in the water. kilometers from land, whole trees, bottles, trash, and boats...lots of longtail boats destroyed. pulling into krabi, not ao nong, was our first surprise, then the rumors started getting mixed with the facts, and we all realized how lucky we were. ao nong, hit by a wave 20 feet high, gone? railey beach, washed over, gone? 200 dead on phi phi, all but 2 hotels gone? hard to know what to beleive, what to do. do i leave, stay and help, where do i go?
i decided to head back to ao nong, as i heard the wave hit it hard, but most of the hotels are still open. i got a ride in one of the many ambulances gojng there, which was, i must say, a bit disconcerting. as i came into ao nong, there was complete mayhem. streets closed, police cars and ambulances everywhere, people milling around looking dazed. a guy came up and started filling us in. fifth largest earthqauke ever, massive tuisnami killing thousands. i walked down to the beach, and saw the damage. mud spilled fifty feet back from the headwall ( which saved many people), broken glass, felled trees, boats sitting on the street, sunken boats on the beach. ominously, there were a few search and rescue boats in the water, trolling, looking.
a guy i met said he was standing on the beach when it came. on a side note, i have met some of the most interesting people in the world in the last week; he was one of them.
"i beat cancer...i crashed my bike last night and broke my arm...sharks almost got me twice...and this wave tried to kill me. but not me, i'm not ready to go."
standing there, he saw, like everyone else on all the beaches, the water receeding dramatically. fish are flopping, boats are overturning. then, the thai girls selling foods and things on the beach start screaming run, run, run. a wall of foaming water was coming in, and people were running up to the safety of high ground. those in the water were swept out, then hurtled in, dashed and thrown. the wave broke on the head wall, but that just threw it up and out, as high as the street lights, up the main street. at railey, people saw the receeding water and started running for the mountain. many didn't make it. the stories i heard last night, of the close calls, the not as close calls, the near misses...and those with friends, family and loved ones who were missing are astounding.
one woman i met at dinner was diving at phi phi. this is interesting because one of the women on board our boat had a boyfriend diving at the same area, only early in the day. they were in the water, getting ready to submerge, when the captain of the boat started waving his arms, yelling at them to wait, something wasn't right. as they floated, she looked down and saw a wall of white water rush past her, under her feet and heading for phi phi, where it crashed up and over everything. anyone under water at the time...i haven't seen the woman yet whose boyfriend was diving, but reports of 40 divers missing doesn't sit well.
finally, i made my way to the hotel i had the night before, the one where they rushed to get me on the ferry to phi phi. i think this is where it really hit me that i was very lucky...timing is everything. the staff ran up and started hugging me, the owner kept poking me, asking if i was really ok. (unfortunately for him, as of this morning, his parents are missing.) you so lucky...you so lucky, they kept saying. apparently, they had heard that the boat i was on had been one of the boats to overturn. they thought i had taken a swim, and for those of you that know my swimming abilities, that didn't bode well. the boat that came up to us while we out in front of phi phi was the one that got hit, just behind us.
well, i guess we all have stories of near misses. this is mine. i hope to never have to tell you all about another.
the ambulances keep going by. i'm getting out of here. bangkok, here i come.
"not swimming with the fishes" r.
Here is an article on the topic I just posted about:
[url]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6756409/[/url]
Apparently it was 1 hour, not 2.
Regarding the tsunami warning, this region has not seen any in the last hundred years at least. The warning systems are in place in the Pacific as it is more common there. I doubt anyone had forseen such a tragedy would occur. Hopefully something will come out of it (a warning system, that is.).

Troy Husum, a 28-year-old Canadian, was on holiday in Phuket, Thailand. He spoke of the devastation as the waves hit the town of Patong and how survivors are coping.
I felt the quake first at about 0915.
I went out on my balcony in the hotel where I was staying - it was a beautifully calm day - and talked to others on their balconies. The quake felt very slight so we thought little of it.
About 45 minutes later, I noticed that water had receded from Patong Bay. We'd never seen it before and we could hear people on the beach talking about it. You could even see fish flopping around on the beach, which was unusual.
I noticed small kids and tourists walking to where the water had receded, curious as to why the water had gone.
Then I saw it - I noticed people craning their necks and looking out on the horizon. You could see a wall of water about three or four stories high.
I felt like I was watching a movie, it was completely surreal.
It wasn't moving very quickly, it took between four and five minutes until I saw it hit and in that time slowly people started to realise what was happening.
Most disturbing was I saw people literally disappear when the water hit... people were literally swept away
People were saying 'Oh God, what is that?' I thought I was dreaming.
After a few seconds the wave hit and smashed against the beach.
It was incredible, it actually bent the trees, washed everything away - at least 1,000 beach umbrellas were swept along as all the water surged through.
There is a line of cars where people park by the beach and hundreds of bikes, I saw them all picked up like toys and moved along.
Most disturbing was I saw people literally disappear when the water hit.
I saw a lot running, but there were people snoozing on the beach, I saw small children hit. People were literally swept away.
A lot of injuries occurred from people being hit by debris from cars, from bikes.
Running for safety
I thought I should get some pictures because I was staying on the fourth floor of my hotel, but other people on the balconies said we had to get on the roof.
I grabbed my equipment and ran outside into the hall. People were screaming "Go! Go!" I ran up the stairs and saw the water coming.
It flowed up to the third floor, you could see it in the stairwell, some people were completely wet.
We watched the chaos from the roof. The water had already started to recede as we got there.
The hardest part for survivors was actually when water receded - the undercurrent sucked people back into the ocean.
Bodies
The most frightening part was not the wave - it was the panic that ensued.
There were car accidents, people were trying to escape as everyone was positive another wave was coming.
People - mainly local Thais - went up the roads to the mountain and slept up there for safety.
Within an hour I went back to the beach. I saw bodies. The rescue crews were panicking and there was not much control.
Bodies were pulled from the debris - most had clearly drowned. I also saw a number of fractures - one tourist had a very badly broken arm.
You could constantly hear helicopters - they flew up to about one kilometre out to sea to try to rescue people.
Last night most hotels allowed tourists to sleep for free in their lobbies or by the pool and there was still a lot of fear and misinformation about other waves.
Aftermath
This morning the cleanup started. All the foreigners are in disbelief, there are two or three feet of sand in all these devastated restaurants.
There are piles and piles of rubble deep inland - it looks like a bomb has gone off.
Some bars I went to the night before on the beach are completely gone,. All of the palm trees were flatted or removed. How is water capable of doing that?
They are carting out hundreds of cars and bikes and the streets are still covered with sand.
They really should have cordoned off the streets. There has been a little looting, some last night and today. I saw guys with televisions and computers.
There are people staggering around with injuries, I saw a girl with bandage on her head. Today there have also been sirens which have now died down.
They are still pulling people out of the debris. One was a small Thai girl - she must have been there all night but she was still alive.
My deepest sympathies for the all the victoms. There, but for the grace of god, it could have been me. Like many here I have been there a number of times. One can only image how many people (esp. Farangs) would have been sweep out to sea (from the beaches) if the Tsunami had came crashing in at 2 in the afternoon. Or how many would have drown in Patong Beach (Bangla Road) if the Tsunami had rolled in around mid-night.
I would like to add my condolances to the families of people who lost their lives in Phucket.
I also pray for the safety off the people i met when i was there earlier this year from the friendly hotel staff and the girls i met in the bars along bangla road and in particular one bar under the dragon disco.
I hope you are all safe.
Magic,
I will forward your thanks to Thumbs Up, who asked me to post the link, since he is a regular member and it would have taken too long till it would be visible in the forum.
What a mess. I hope the casualty list does not go up. I read somewhere that this type of tsonami only happens every 700 years. Does anybody know more about this?
juice
I guess sometimes mother nature gets its own back. I read somewhere that the earthquake that triggered the tsunami was 1000 times more powerful than the earthquake that killed thousands in Iran.
I was in Phuket and Phi Phi in late October. Just praying now that the dive boat people who took us out are safe and well. In fact, just praying for everyone right now.
condolences to the people of thailand and all our forum friends affected. do hope you guys are safe. thais are known to be resilient and hopefully we can see them forging back next year ... they are freindly people and have given very god memories to us all who have spent time in this lovely country. perhaps we should also do our part by helping the economy by visiting the country again sometime sooner so that they can get back up to speed.
Haiko and Goong,
You have must utmost sympathies!
Here is what I have been able to find so far on the latest pictures of Phuket and all the familiar places. Here is the link :

Reply to MacMac:
I read in the nation that the 4 Thai earthquake specialists were informed about the earthquake and they talked about the possibility of a Tsunami. They assumed that Indonesia would protect the Thai coast and that it was anyway not likely since a Tsunami hadn't occured in the last hundred years. But the most disturbing reason was that they were afraid to issue a warning during peak tourist season: they thought that they would get into deep trouble if it turned out to be warning without anything actually happening. That's where money and the power of the business oppress rational action.
A Thai friend told me recently that some years ago, a Thai minister was talking about the risk of Tsunamis hitting Thailand and he wanted a warning system set up. He was forced to shut up because his motion was considered as harmful for tourism.
Second thought: Many earthquake stations around the globe registered the earthquake but then whom should they inform about what? Should a guy of the USGS call the FBI or the president? Might he be able to talk to some assistant undersecretary after half a day to get this guy call the embassy in Thailand? Thailand doesn't have any special rescue or warning system that we have for example here in Germany. Here, we would hear sirenes, warnings over the radio and TV. But Thailand doesn't have anything comparable and Indonesia and Sri Lanka are in much worse condition any way.
I feel very sorry that often in life, something bad has to happen first before people recognize the need to act appropriately. I know that Thailand will be up and running again soon due to its tourism industry. But what will happen to the affected areas in Sri Lanka and Indonesia, to the poor people that have now lost even the few things they had?
I will be in BKK on business in March, and want to go to a nice resort first (bringing a girl from BKK with me, of course!). I am looking for the VERY best in snorkeling, sailing/kayaking/canoeing, restaurants (preferably buffet), etc. Bungalows or water cottages would be preferred; crowded beaches are to be avoided. Quality, not price, is the only consideration beyond the establishment not objecting to my bringing a Thai GF.
I am guessing that Samui is better than Phuket for this, given the terrible tsunamis. Is that true? What do people recommend for resorts?
I really hope all our monger brothers are all safe down there in Andaman. I am really worried about 2 of my hunting pals down there who I cannot make contact by fone calls anymore since the tsunami. I just hope they just had their mobiles and all their money swept away by the tides.
If anyone down there know a young man 29 years old, name Adriaan Vogelsang, nickname Adi, he called me from Patong on the night of 25 X'mas. He was hunting in Tiger disco that night. I did not hear from him since then.
And anyone knows another guy name Olaf Bildt, 32 years old. He nicknames himself Ugo to other friends. He was in Andaman somewhere with a Thai lady for X'mas. Lost contact since then. If anyone know and see any of them, please tell them to contact RCA somehow. Thank you.
Hi Adi and Ugo, if you guys are stranded without money and fone in hotel or hospital somewhere, and somehow see this forum post, please contact me somehow. I do not have your e-mails.
Great tact Trav Man, you're departing in March and will have plenty of time to plan your trip, now it doesn't feel right to talk about this, bruv.
For what it's worth, I take the opportunity to add my condoleances to those involved.

Producer,
you refer to a case that happened about 5yrs ago.
There had been an earthquake close to Papua New Guinea and the national meteorological department issued a warning about a possible tsunami. Later on there had been massive complaints of the national tourist department that such a warning would be harmful to tourism.
I also heard, that there were warnings this time but were downplayed by local radio stations. I guess now they regret their behaviour.
Jackson,
If there is a Board collection I will give another $ 100.00 to it if you start it up with details, please advise.
[blue]Hi Canada008,
I appreciate your offer, but I'm so totally occupied managing the Forum and with my charity here in Buenos Aires that I don't have any time to properly administer another organization.
Thanks,
Jackson[/blue]
Hello all who are in the area. My apologies if this gets printed twice the system seems to be acting up.
MY request of you all is this. Please help the Thai people. Stay and help them clean up and do what you can. Most of us reading this have the mean and decent health and great skills and we are able to help out. I sincerely wish I was there and I am considering travelling there to help out.
I have been to Phuket 2 times. I love Thailand and the Thai people I owe them. Today I contributed $ 500.00 Canadian personally to the Red Cross, my company will match and I hope my staff will match as well.
If you do choose to leave then leave everything of value behind, First Aid supplies, Soaps, footware, clothes etc, what is needed? I saw video of people fleeing with full suitcases. Lets help out the Thais and everyone else that needs it, I know they have been good to each and everyone of us and we can afford it thanks to our good fortune.
Even those lucky enough to survive have lost their entire businesses, cash inventories, staff, it is hard to imagine.
Lets not talk about what could have or how the Thai government could have, lets focus on helping the Thais in their time of need.
Lets use this board to bring good to others who are not us!
Jackson if you set up a fund I have another $ 100.00 Canadian if it can be well spent, surely someone there can lead. Do not go home. Call home tell them you are well then do everything you can to help our friends in Phuket and undoubtedly there are other areas in need.
008
My prayers and condolences for the people of Thailand. What a sad and horrific tragedy. The best times of my life have all been spent in Thailand. May Lord Buddha bless all those affected...Thai and farang, my heart goes out to you all.
Ragnar
my prayers go out to all who were affected by the tidal wave. i'm just devastated by the news of such a horrific event. be safe and god speed!

Hi,
Thanks for the interesting replies. Yeah, the idea that they COULD have gotten the word out to at least some people and didn't is just sickening. I can actually understand why people were hesitant to set up an elaborate and expensive warning system for something that might not happen for 100 years. But for Christ sake, there could have been an informal warning system. Just a few phone calls to hotel owners and the local police (yeah I know the police move really slowly, but anyway) could have saved hundreds of lives. .... anyway, thats what I wish could have happened. Not a call to the FBI, President, or whoever, but to the beach. It would have been absolutely free for NASA, whoever knew the tsunami was approaching, to keep a list of a few major beachfront hotel names and numbers, and police numbers, at all the resorts and towns in SE asia. I know its easy to look back and say 'I wish...' , but Christ, it really would have helped. Maybe its not a bad idea for scientists to compile that list now, so that if this happens again before a system is set up, at least they can TRY to let people on beaches know whats happening.
Sad, but interesting pictures

Banana Disco at patong beach this week...
Well, not in bad situation as other places around...
Kojack,
Thanks for the pic. It brings back good memories, its present condition notwithstanding. I would head over there in the evenings and listen to the life band out front, while indulging in numerous vodka tonics. They had a hot singer I always wanted to pop. I think she was Japanese.
I think it likely that most of the Phuket working girls have or will head back north to pursue their avocation. I will be curious to know if anybody in BKK or Pattaya notices, in the future, an influx of girls from Phuket.
I'm on the west coast of the US and while in the lobby of a public building, I shared a short conversation with a very striking blonde. It happens that her brother works for NOAA and was on duty when the earthquake occurred. She said that they (NOAA) did attempt to pass word to various countries that a tsunami was likely, but since it occurred on a Sunday, most of their contacts were unavailable. There was no one in those offices to pick up the phone.
I can hardly imagine the sense of frustration that developed as phones rang unanswered and time passed until the first reports started filtering in about the devastation.
Note: NOAA == National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (part of the US Gov't)

Sex workers and tourists search for light in the darkness
AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE in Phuket
The island is sombre as New Year approaches but some tourists are trying to salvage their holidays - if only to show solidarity with Thais in the tragedy.
Far from causing offence, Phuket's businessmen say these tourists are being labelled as "admirably brave" by locals whose livelihoods have been swept away.
At the Kangaroo bar, on devastated Patong Beach, patrons drink beer by candlelight as the owner repaints bar stools. Metres away, bulldozers are clearing tangled wreckage.
The normally smiling barmen and sex workers join westerners on barstools in downing whisky and chain-smoking.
One girl chokes back tears as she runs to the rest room while another collapses in grief at the bar.
"I did not work for three days after my best friend Ning was crushed to death by two cars over there," said Lek, a sex worker, pointing to the remains of a massage parlour.
Her friend had been cleaning rooms on Sunday morning when the tsunami struck.
Lek said while many local workers were still grieving for the dead or searching for the missing the hope was that tourists would start returning in large numbers, and quickly.
"What can we do, we have to work. Have to live again."
Nodding in agreement a few bar stools down, American tourist Brian Keith said he had decided not to cut his trip short.
"It's not a holiday now and I will not be celebrating New Year but I can't go, it feels like a duty," he said.
"I was on high ground when it struck so I'm lucky, for sure, but the Thais thank me for staying."
Patong hotelier Bob Gray, who was almost swept away by the second of at least six huge waves that struck the island, said local residents were trying to separate the suffering from the fact that lives must be rebuilt.
"The Thai word that is being used the most about this translates as `to fight'," he said.
"There is no social security here, so even as people cremate their loved ones they are having to focus on rebuilding their lives.
"For most this means trying to clean things up and keep the tourists here."
Regulars have continued to arrive and he says occupancy is around 60 per cent.
But New Year will nonetheless pass silently for most.
"We are realistic and know we may have to sell what we have and somehow start again," Mr Gray said, while voicing gratitude for the support from guests.
But for other tourists who choose to remain through the New Year there will be no keeping up appearances.
British tourist Ben Seyried has been looking for his friend Piers since he was swept from sight on Phi Phi island.
Carrying a picture of his friend at Phuket's town hall, which has become the nerve centre of the relief effort, he said he had forgotten New Year was even approaching.
"We have searched every hospital and put up pictures," he said, dressed in clothes donated by Thai relief workers.
"There is still hope and as long as there is hope the search will go on."
Australian embassy officials said even as tourists fly out, other foreigners are flying in to try to find missing friends and relatives.
The only consistent thread among local workers, residents and tourists is hope for the future.
"I can't think what will happen tomorrow," said Lek, gazing around the nearly empty bars along the partly demolished Patong Beach entertainment strip.
"All I want to do right now is take these pictures of the drowning from my mind and make things better here again."
first, i hope all are safe. I know of several people who have not returned my emails and I am worried. The images on TV are mindboggling to me. It could of been any of us.
Anyways, I hope you find this article thought provoking. I found it quite sad.

There are quite a number of hotels of all categories that were undamaged and by March I think even most of the damaged ones will be in business again. There's a Phuket-based divemaster on Lonely Planet's Thorntree that said people were diving again 2 days after the disaster. I haven't heard yet about how the dive sites have been altered by the tsunamis.
To Vaugan, Alistair and others who jumped on Trav Man: I know your hearts are in the right place but the Thais almost unanimously disagree with you. What happened was terrible but even the affected people want to get on with life and we should help them. They won't be helped one bit if we sit in a dark room wimpering for the next 90 days. Trav Man maybe could have worded things a bit better but his business will help people more than postings on a web site.
[quote=vaugan]dunno about the rest of you guys, but i'm speechless.[/quote]
beyond the sadness and all fairness, thailand really needs toursits dollars.
i had asked similar questions and for diving anyway, there are many areas that were not effected by the tsunami. look everywhere except southern thailand and you will find some very nice places.
this is what the board is for, so postings related to enjoying thailand should always be welcome.
the best long term way to help these areas is to spend your money visiting them. tourism is the largest single source of gnp for thailand
Suprised that everybody think its business as usual in Phuket. Of cource they want to recover as fast as possible, but many places in Phuket are destroyed after last weeks damage.
Over 5000 tourists from western Europe died there...many dead bodies in the water etc. I know that most of the damage came little bit outside Phuket, but the whole city is recovering right now.
We express our deep condolances to the victims of Tsunami disaster.
We will arrive Phuket tomorrow noon. For our friends in Phuket and Southern Thailand, please contact us in Phuket-WHO Control Centre or PM us in WSG forum. Hope all of you safe and peace. We urge to meet all of you. Blessing you. Be safe.

Please contribute whatever you could to HELP our Thai friends. They really need our supports and sympathies. WE ARE ONE ON THE WORLD.

'terrible sunnamis' - what an insensitive blockhead (trav man i.e.)...
I agree theat the original post came across as insensitive but I really do believe that the best thing we can do is get back there as soon as they're ready and start spending our money again, after all who's in more need of it right now the Thais or Tenerife for example?
I first came to SE Asia (I live in Indonesia now) as a result of just such a situation. I was living in Australia a few months after the Bali bomb and saw travel agents offering phenomenally cheap deals to Bali. My first reaction was how heartless it would be to take advantage of such a deal, but everyone else told me no, spend my money there don't let the brave Balinese go under. When I arrived I was amazed at the friendliness and generosity of people who wanted nothing more than that they could get their lives back to normality after such an awful experience.
I'm due to make another trip abroad in mid-February, my initial plan had been China, but when I heard the news I thought China could wait. I had too many friends who need whatever little help I can give in Phuket. My pathetic gesture might only be buying a few extra beers, taking more tuk-tuks, buying a couple of tee-shirts I don't need; no sacrifice for me but a bit of help on the way to recovery for the magnificent people of Thailand. Think about it, if you had a business which had a fire or flood, initially you would try to sort out the damage and welcome whatever charity friends and neighbours could provide but afterwards what would you want, to sit around in a state of dependency or would you get together what you could and try to start running your business again? The Thais are a very proud people, they will not appreciate us dropping a coin in a begging bowl and then going on to spend big money with someone who right now is not in such dire needs.
I'm going to be watching this forum for the next few weeks, it would be of great assistance to us all if posters there - after helping with the immediate relief and rescue effort of course - could let us know how recovery is coming along. Please keep us informed of when our Thai friends are ready to welcome back guests.
You have to wonder how many tragic fiascos will continue to happen on Thaksin Shinawatra's watch. He seems to bounce from one botched and/or poorly handled calamity to another. When the government leaders are asleep at the switch people die.
Does anyone know if one of our poster M.S. Clive is ok? He had poated earlier that he would be in Phuket on Dec. 26 and haven't seen any reports from him. I sincerely hope he is ok.
S&M
If the hotel is on a hill, it is most likely unaffected as the waters affected the low lying areas only.
Duniawala, let's give him a couple of days. If he was there, I am sure that it is very difficult for him to get online, and I know this board won't be one of his top priorities. I am worried about him, too. But right now all we can do is wait until we hear from him and pray for the health safety of him and all the others who were affected by this tragedy. I wish him the best, and I hope he is ok.
Dorman, your post did sound a little bit insensetive, but I do agree with you 100%. We do have to get back there and start spending our money. It's one of the best things we can do for them right now. A lot of tourists are cancelling plans to travel there. They are expecting to lose a great deal of money because of this. The least we can do is head there and spend money and try to have a good time. I am planning to head to LOS in March, and this is the first time I will go to Phuket. I know things will not be the same as they were before, but the least I can do is go stay in their hotels, eat in their restaurants, drink in the bars, etc. They need my cash, and they need the customers. I think we should give them our support. Dorman, I would imagine that Phuket would be ready for us about the end of January. Things should resemble normal by about then. Guys on the ground in Phuket, let me know if my assumtion is correct. Thanks. PS: For those who might want to flame me, I know it is not business as usual. But there has to be business for Phuket to be able to stand up again, so I feel we should spend as much of our tourist dollars (or pounds, or yen, or whatever) there as soon as we can. They need the cash and the business now. The donations are helping the hungry, homeless, and injured people. But the hotel, restaurant, and bar owners need cash right now, too. If we don't support them also (by patronizing their establishments), they might be forced to fold. So by all means, donate to the relief organizations, but consider spending tourist dollars in Phuket, also. I am sure they will be happy to have you there.
Yesterday Swedish government declared National Mourning Day. According to the Swedish newspaper, a conservative estimate of about 3500-4000 Swedish still missing in Andaman areas. Less than 100 bodies have been recovered and positively identified as Swedish nationals.
A country of less than 9 million population with about 4000 deaths. It seems like everyone in Sweden knows someone lost life in the tsunami.
We really give our deepest condolence to Sweden and all the families all over the world who lost their love ones. This tragedy really tear up so many happy families, so many close friendships. But its warm to see people all over the world pull together to rescue and reconstruct in this desaster. Hope the whole world will be even closer after the catastrophe.
Called a mamasan friend at a bar in central Patong Beach area. She said that even though the town was a mess with dirt, debris and, sadly, a few bodies, that they were opening for business three days after the tsunami.
maybe some of you have already seen this but i wanted to post anyhow.
after perusing events of the day i happened on this web-based written article about patong and its apparent condition post tsunami. it gives a nicely written article of you information about the state of this particular area of interest. i in no way am insensitive to the aftermath of the events but am only adding it as informational.
the photos taken are from hasip [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134][CodeWord134][/url] rd which lies in the area i mentioned before up a bit in the hills where i always stay.
[url]http://www.patong.com[/url]
[url]http://www.baansuanvilla-guesthouse.com[/url]
I agree with the Sweden post.I love that country and am mourning with all of them.I have a proposal,since all of us goes more or less to Thailand I think it would be a good idea for Jackson to ask all forum members to contribute 10dollars to a fund to benifit the Tsunami victims.The amount is not much but every one is free to contribute as much as they like.Just like the Argentinian charity that JACKSON has set up is a good idea,I think it would be a wonderful gesture to show the people affected in this region that we as a group care about the well being of our fellow citizens. I ask for feedback regarding this and would be waiting patiently for Jackson's response. We can contact the REdcross for the donations to be handled properly.
What we can do to help the Thai people and Thai economy the most is to not let the disaster in Phuket deter us from continuing to visit this fantastic country. Our foreign currency spent IN Thailand will help the tourist industry as it will certainly take a serious hit this year. I'm going forward with my monthly sojourns to this truly Land of Smiles... though many tears as of late.

A sweet friend of mine in BKK is suggesting that money should be sent to the Thai Red Cross or the UNICEF in Thailand. She was very adament that money should not be donated to any charities run by the government.
The Thai Red Cross numbers are: 66,2,2564178 or 66,2,2564209
The UNICEF numbers are: +662-356-9473 or
+662-356-9476 ext 9576-9579
To add to the above, I am assuming that one can make donations to these organizations in the respective countries that have been hit the hardest.
This is a beautiful country that has just experienced one of the largest tragedies known to modern man. Personally, I plan to travel to Thailand and Indonesia in April/May and hopefully I will be able to help in my own way.
A European TV news broadcast reported yesterday women in Phuket now asking half their normal price because of lack of customers.
Ok now we're back up and running again can anyone give me a clear direction, is Phuket open for business? I'm going to Thailand on Sunday and would like to pop down to check up on some old friends, so I'd like to be sure I'n not going to be regarded as a heartless bastard by showing up at a scene of tragedy.
Can anyone help?
I went to Phuket this summer on a family vacation, and was impressed as normal with the hospitality of the Thai people there. I'll be going back to BKK in 7 weeks, and thinking of doing a side trip to Phuket. In some ways I will hate to see the damage done to some of the places I visited, (not to even talk about the personal tragedies) but think it's important to support the people too. Has anyone gone there lately?

You will certainly NOT be seen as a heartless bastard, the people in Phuket need tourists to return in large numbers as soon as possible. From what I have read on the internet much of Phuket is back to normal even in the affected areas such as Patong many of the hotels are open for business.

Hi guys,
Just got back from Phuket and my biz partner mentioned - more in passing than anything else - about a wonderful new place there - something like Fantasy or ???
Unfortunately it wasn't really appropriate for me to press the matter or ask him to take me as he's a new biz partner and to do so would have not been 'convenient.'
Anyway, he told me it was some kind of old movie house in Phuket town itself. Its been truned into quite a high market place mostly patronized by the Locals. i.e. none of the darker,rougher, see-it-all-before-you-buy types favored by Farangs. Its got a jazz band, a dance floor and a sort of fishbowl with over 100 (???) true beauties waiting to be picked. The Prix de la maison is Baht 2,800 a pop.
What can you guys tell me about this? Where is it exactly, Exact name,, how to find it, is my info complete/correct, what is the "deal" in the Bht 2,800 - is it a massage, a take out, in house?? where is the 'deed' done etc etc.
Any and all info would be much appreciated.
I went to Patong Beach last weekend as my friends working there said there were no tourists. They were not kidding. The town is up and running. It is hard to tell a tsunami hit. All is clean and there is no debris. Beach road is wiped out as far as establishments, but if you go another twenty feet, it is business as usual.
Prices are down for everything from hotels to food to entertainment. Go now and help float the Phuket economy as these folks need it. In another three months, it will probably crowded as it has been in the past.
I recently returned from Phuket (Patong Beach). I was there from 14-22 Jan and had a great time. I stayed at the Aloha Villa and was warmly received. many tourists have cancelled their winter trips and the locals are screaming for the normal tourist trade.
Some damage to the businesses on the beach was still evident, but by and large the town was up and running well, all the bars, clubs and restaurants were in operation and there were LOTS of girls everywhere.
I did a lot of scuba diving and that was also super, although many of the dive boats were cancelling trips due to lack of divers.
The beaches were all cleaned up and beautiful.
I would go back in a heart-beat; many people there asked me to spread the word that "Phuket was OK again!!"
Maybe the weekend things will pick up. Have not ventured into Patong Beach yet, but this newbie wanted to meet up with mongers for advice and a few laughs over a brew.

Can anyone here tell me if it is possible to find VIETNAMESE ladies in Phuket. I will be in Phuket in about a weeks time for a couple of days and would love to hook up with a Viet. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Yes, thanks for your help, Patong is up and running though very quiet, but tourist are extremely welcome. The seafront properties have been devastated but a block or two in everything is normal (except for Molly Malone's oddly). I checked up on a few friends and it appears they are all alive though their livelihoods have been destroyed. Like I said worth going again, they want us back - they need us back.
I'm in Phuket mid March for about 4-5 days and would like to go diving while I'm out there. I am planning on staying in Patong, for obvious reasons. I was wondering if people had recommendations for good dive shops in Patong (I understand there are quite a few). Also how far away are the good dive sites?
Many thanks
Since there is no "INTRODUCTION" section, I will drop this into where I have been most often.
I have been reading the WSGForums on and off for several years now and have decided to give the membership a try.
Thailand has been my true love for many years, although not my first in the Mongering business, that honor goes to Mexico. Other places such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia and certain Canadian cities have shown me their share of fun, but I keep coming back to Thailand. Why? Well if you've spent any length of leisure time in the LOS, you know exactly what I mean.
I have visited Thailand on 4 occasions:
October 2000 (Phuket Town, Patong Beach)
February 2001 (Phuket Town, Patong Beach)
May-June 2002 (Phuket Town, Patong Beach)
May-June 2004 (Sukhumvit, Bangkok)
Everytime I return I am both humbled by the Thai peoples friendliness and generosity and dumbfounded by their (street vendors) ability to swindle, scam and deceive. I started out my LOS journey as a Happy Fool and have graduated into an Informed and Giddy Fool.
Phenomena I have witnessed while in LOS:
Katoey - While not exclusive to Thailand, these folks always seem to travel in packs of 3-4. Probably meant as a defense from unwary and extremely homophobic westerners. Their wardrobe has been wide and varying from Marilyn Monroe style dresses and wigs to modern daisy dukes, pink hot pants and lacey halter tops. No one attribute has ever been a dead give away for me. Some have the hard facial features of a man, some do not. Others have the adams apple, broad shoulders and a deep resounding voice, while there are some that look better than the lead cheerleader back in high school. Outrageous is a fitting description, indeed.
Bar Girls - The perpetual mainstay of any well traveled Soi. I swear these girls were born with a bar stool attached to their hind-quarters and a penchant for whiskey. The variety is astonishing for a newbie as well as an old dog. My very first experience with Thai Bar Games didn't net me a whole lot of respect at first. I tired quickly after the first few games of Jenga and Connect 4, so I rolled up my straw paper and started a spitball fight with the girl that had inadvertently attached herself to my arm. I quickly found out how intolerant they could become and so I proceeded to make a peace offering with a Heineken and excused my self for a [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] break. Needless to say, I didn't return.
Asian Laundry Service - This is one stereotype that turned out to be a true blessing. Better than any service back home. Hands down!
Hotels I have stayed in:
Do not know whether or not the prices were fair, but I enjoyed my stay nonetheless.
TANA PATONG HOTEL
181/16 Rat-U-Thit Rd. Patong, Kathu
8 days x 650 baht = 5200 baht (16 per day / 135 total USD)
Thought: "Good place to crash and burn after a hard night of drinking and mongering."
FEDERAL HOTEL BANGKOK
27 Sukhumvit Rd., Soi 11
Soi Chaiyos, Bangkok
7 days x 1300 baht = 9100 baht (33 per day / 237 total USD)
Thought: "Great for the price. Laundry service, meal delivery, and 10 minutes from everywhere."
On the Tsunami: I have a TG, so to speak, that lives in Patong and was privvy to a first hand account to the devastation. First of all, the worldwide news media organizations such as CNN & the BBC have proven once again that sensationalism wins over actual investigative reporting. According to local news at the time, Phuket was a total disaster not unlike Banda Aceh in Indonesia. With a deep gasp and a trembling hand, I called her up to confirm she survived and sure enough, she had. She lives about one mile in from the beach near the base of the hill (as if you were taking a Tuk Tuk to Phuket Town). She said the waves came in approximately 1/4 mile and wiped out everything on Thaweewong Rd. So much for total devastation!
On a closing note, I have a spare 12 days coming up in May and I am torn between the Big City of Bangkok or the laid back little Hamlet of Patong. Even though I was in walking distance of Nana, I never stopped by on my first trip. Maybe Bangkok?
Where is the contact information of that guy I saw on these boards who, for a small fee, will give you a run down of the best places in Bangkok to check out? Supposed to be a personal friend of Jackson or something like that? My knowledge is dated, so whether he is still around or not is unknown to me.
(lifting a pilsner in the air for a toast) "Here's to a fun, lucrative and informative relationship, fellas!"
"Cheers."
Need to decide on my hotel in Phuket (Patong). Don't want anything too fancy, but at the same time don't want anything too cheap.
Options I've come up with are:
Salathani
Summerbreeze
Blue Ocean Resort
Boomerang Inn
Ipanema Cabana Hotel
Expat
In the past I've stayed at Family Inn. Have to say this was fine. They supposedly used to charge a joiner's fee, but I never had any problems. They seem to have dropped that now. However it was a tiny bit out of the way.
Any recommendations / suggestions, etc?
Cheers
I have had trouble finding flights to the Phuket Airport in the past 48 hours. Whats wrong? My searches for tickets come back as unavailable for this destination.
The airport in Phuket is fully functional, yes?
I have tried ALL the major sites including Cheap Tickets, Hotwire, Orbitz and Travelocity for May 21st and it keeps sending me "no flights met your search criteria" message.
-- Wouldn't a message be received stating that all fights are booked for that particular time frame?? --
Well answering my own question, have had an email back from Salathai saying there is a 500 baht joiner fee
Hey guys,
My first posting since I became a regular.
Anyone knows if Phuket arcadia Hilton is a girl friendly hotel ? Also what's the scene around the hotel ? Escort services recommendations ?
Looking forward to your replies.

Try the Thai airways and Bangkok Airways site and you should be able to book the flights out of BKK and other places.
Thai website: [url]http://thaiairways.com/[/url]
Bangkok Air: [url]http://www.bangkokair.com/en/[/url]
On BK Air, the "TO" field sometimes doesn't have a window. In that case just press GO and the field will open up.
Hope this helps. Plenty of flights to Phuket. Since I don't know where you are flying from to go to Phuket there are flights from Singapore, Jakarta, KL etc. as well.
Thanks for the tip Duniawala.
Here is one that I find very helpful.

An inedependent Travelers site, located in Oregon, USA and somewhere in Inonesia. Lots of choices, just click on Cheap Airfare link.

Anybody on Phuket right now ?
I intend to boost the local economy and to donate to the working girls who had lost a huge part of their business due to the tsunami and the lack of customers.
So how is the current situation ? Still enough cute girls to choose from ?
My intel tells me that many girls went to Pattaya and other places.
Is that true ?
How are the hotel prices right now ? Still overpriced ?
Regarding my info, prices should be down 30% average.
Are girl-unfriendly hotels now girl-friendly ?
Any input on that would be welcomed and honored with a beer on arrival.
If you reserve AirAsia a little in advance, you can still get 499 one way. Went down there for a quick weekend on AirAsia several weeks ago but didn't get the cheapest fare, paid 1000 plus 230 tax each way, still cheap.
The bars and clubs on Bangla all opened but still quite empty. There are many girls in Tiger disco and quite a few hang out on the streets nearby after closing time as usual. But overall it doesn't seem to be peak season like before. I heard some ladies left to work in other cities like Bangkok or Hat Yai. There are not as many tourists as before so no problem finding a lady. But the quality has gone down a bit. I think the nice cuties now cannot get many good customers like good old days (some nice cuties can get 2-3 rounds a night before, now they can barely survive) so they left to work elsewhere for a while. Hope the mass tourists come back soon and the nice babes will follow.
RCA Knight,
does that mean that there is only crap left ?
Have you seen any cute ones ?
Don't want to waste my precious time by flying down to Phuket when there are no cute girls available. Hmm, maybe I should bring my own and if I am able to find a cute one go for a threesome :)
Doh!
This does not sound good! I'm planning on being in Phuket on the 19th for about five nights!
I think if you guys want to come down to Phuket for a holiday and help to revive the economy after tusnami is the greatest thing. But if you only intend to come down here for ladies, I think at present moment people will be a bit disappointed. Because Phuket is still very quiet and I did not see any cutie honestly. There are still lots of lower end level to choose from if you are not picky, but I hunted 3 nights all over Patong and seriously I did not find one that stands out. I personally know several cuties used to work in Phuket. I called them when I was there but they are now working Hat Yai or BKK.
RCA Knight,
thanks for the info.
Sometimes I am quite choosy so the current situation might lead to lonely nights. Guess it's better to bring my own and if lucky finding a cutie, do a threesome. Nothing to complain about, right ? :)
Thanks for the info. So I do not have to go there this time. The years before there have always been the best choice in Thailand in my opinion even if they were quite spoilt.

I bumped into a cute girl last year in Phuket town, she worked at a bar I think was called 'The Kiko Bar', owned by gay guys, one Thai, one Japanese. This girl was a real cutie and went by the name of Kiddy. I had her mobile number but lost it. I am back in Phuket in a few weeks and want to locate her. My guess is she will have moved around over the past year and wondered if any of you guys had bumped into her and know her where abouts, save me searching the island. Oh and she had a rather interesting tattoo so if you met her you would know her. She was well hot. In the past 15 years of hobbying I reckon she rates my No1.
I'm planning a trip to Phuket in April. I'm pretty sure I want to stay near Kata or Karon Beach. Does anyone have an opinion as to which area of these beaches are best for the single (sex) tourist? If anyone has a favorite hotel near these beaches I would like to know that too. Right now I'm thinking of getting a place near Dino Bar and Club Med. I've read elsewhere [url]http://www.phuket.net/phuket_bars.htm[/url] that there are bars all over the place. But it sounds like the majority are near the south end of Karon Beach
I stayed in Patong last time and I found it a bit overbuilt and too many people pushing their "buying opportunities."
This time I'm going on a bit of a leap of faith that talent can be found on all the beaches including Karon and Kata.
Fly safely.
visited patong again yesterday.
tourist are back and so are the girls. bangla rd crowded as before and supply well above demand, but mixed quality. found a new area under development. go to the end of bangla road, turn left and follow [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134][CodeWord134][/url] rd 150 meters. they are opening a number of new bars in a new soi (soi sukhumvit!!) opposit of ayudhya bank. next month they will open a disco and later also go go bars according to the bar owners.
there seems to be a party every night with new bars opening. black and white bar is good for italians as the owner speaks the language.
saturday 19.03 thunder bar will have big opening party with lots of horney girls and lots of fun. check out the rotation of the butt of doo when she is making her show, incredible. and 1500 for st, but worth it!
just sorry i have to return back to bkk tonight.
please post review of your experience!
With the presence of the U.S. Navy Phuket is alive and well atleast for the weekend. Women of all shapes and size came here to support the ship. They are also quting insane prices. 2000 Baht for a ST. I thought this girl was crazy. 1000 Baht Tuk-Tuk rides it's crazy here.
Last night I did talk to a very nice nice at one of the beer bars after making serval rounds looking for the right one. She quouted 2000 for ST, but then changed her mind for LT. She was welll worth the 2K and I was surprised when she didn't let the locals try to rip me off on the taxi rides in the area.
She provided a great BBBJ and sex. I really enjoyed myself. She stayed until I had to go to work, but I think she would have stayed all day.
This is my first time in Thailand and I am enjoying every minute.
So is the Navy gone yet? Have prices returned to reasonable? Is Soi Eric back in business?
These are crucial vacation planning questions. Crucial i tell you.
[QUOTE=Member #3273]So is the Navy gone yet? Have prices returned to reasonable? Is Soi Eric back in business?
These are crucial vacation planning questions. Crucial i tell you.[/QUOTE]Arrived in Phuket not sure what to expect after all the negative reports of late. Phuket has definitely changed, and not for the better yet. It badly needs tourists to return in quantity.
Quality of girls, generally speaking, has gone down, and far fewer of them. Speaking to old friends, it appears that many girls are so afraid of a repeat Tsunami that they have left for good to Bangkok or Pattaya. Others who are not so superstitious have still left due to lack of tourists.
Booked in at the Expat, and went strolling. Found a few good ones still in my old hunting grounds of Soi Eric, a side soi off Soi Bangla. Surprisingly good selection, given my initial impression of the place. Found a real cutie, 24 no kids, tall slim,, claimed (as always!) to have arrived that week, and had a very pleasurable full service BBBJ night for 1000 Baht. Not too bad a way to start my break!
The next two nights explored the side sois off Bangla, and basically ended up with the same results. Selection is obviously lower than before, but they are still there if you take the time to look, and prices have not changed at all. Soi Tiger had a good selection, and even the new Soi Lion had a few cuties.
Went off to Soi Sea Pearl, a beer bar cluster on the left as you go down Soi Sainamyen, 500 metres west of Bangla, from 2nd road to the beach. In it’s heyday, this was my favourite fishing hole, missed by most of the regular tourists. Today, it is half the size it was a year ago, and a very limited selection. Still managed to pull a 20 year old , no kids, 34B, who I kept for 2 days (breaking my own rule!) as she very enthusiastically serviced me without prompting. It has been said many times before in this forum, but if you treat the girls with a little respect (they are human, and most are working only to support families after all) smile and joke with them, the rewards multiply exponentially! How true.
Turns out that Soi Sea Pearl is being razed to make way for a new road and hotel, so no wonder they were not doing much to repair Tsunami damage. Many of the bars have already relocated to the old Moodies bar mall, located on 2nd road about 150 metres west of Bangla. Now called Soi Sukhumvit!! Maybe it will bring some life into what has traditionally been poor hunting grounds.
Decided to get out of Patong, and went trolling in Phuket Town. Went to Fantasia, a new high end bar for rich Thais in the centre of Phuket Town. Very classy, huge bar with amazing sound system, sexy dance troop from BKK (not available for bookings, unfortunately!) and around 50 average to good looking ladies in evening gowns all seated behind a long bar. However, sticker shock killed me – a Heineken was 260 Baht, short time was 2700 Baht and long time an amazing 3600Baht. I can speak reasonably good Thai, and overheard the same pricing being given to the locals! Not my cup of tea, I much prefer cheap and nasty, wherever I travel! Strolled down to a new nightclub called Zanzibar, Phuket Royal City Hotel, which had a very good band with an amazing lead singer, a Thai Tina Turner. Around 11, it became very full, and quite a few groups of girls in mid 20’s. They all, at some time or other during the evening, made a show of passing by and saying hello. I was one of only a handful of Farangs in the place, and the only single one, (also strategically seated on the way to the washroom - old habits die hard!) so must have stood out to them. Collected phone numbers from several really sweet ones, but it was obvious from their questions that they were looking for a boyfriend rather than a professional one night encounter. However, there appeared a group of 5 really attractive girls across the bar, who held eye contact for a really long time. Working girls! Went over, and sure enough, they were there for customers! Nowhere near as professional as their sisters in Patong, they were college girls out to supplement income. Pleasantly shy, I picked what to me was the most attractive with the best attitude combination, unfortunately, a 3some was not on the cards with these girls, no matter how hard I encouraged it! Went off to eat at Fever Corner. Very few girls there compared to last visit, though it was a little early at only 1 am. Took her back to Patong, and was amazed at how many stunning looking girls were now in town! Amazing isn’t it, how as soon as you choose your one for the night, you immediately see better options! Never mind, went to room and did the deed, very good all round GFE! Next day, gave her 1000 Baht (no point in spoiling the prices for other mongers!) plus 300 baht for a TUK Tuk back to Phuket.
Found out that my eyesight wasn’t all that bad after all, there really was an amazing number of hotties around, because the US Navy had arrived! All had come in from around Thailand – I heard from Hat Yai , Bangkok and Pattaya in particular. Amazing jungle telegraph system – “there is a boat load of horny young guys with lots of money arriving, spread the word!”
My usual rule is to get out of town fast as soon as I see a grey ship in the bay anywhere. This time, however, I stayed. Never before seen the troops so quiet and well behaved, never before seen so many Shore Patrol. Something has obviously been said to these boys. No fights, no drunks, just massive quantities of short time. I sat at a bar on the corner of Soi Bangla and Soi Sea dragon, and between 1 and 4 in the afternoon, saw one very sexily dressed pro take 7 short timers in succession off to a room close by. I smiled every time she left or returned, and it soon turned into a game, she laughing right back! She was still pulling when I left! The good news is that almost all these boys were back on the ship by 10 pm, leaving huge quantities of great looking girls around with lots of money in their bags! And did they party! Went to Tiger Disco and had a great time! Saw the girl who had been pulling furiously earlier that day, she recognised me and bought ME a beer! Turns out she had been getting 3000 baht per pull on average! Made more in one afternoon than she normally makes all month in Patttaya! Good for her!
Ended up with an average looker who more than made up for it in personality. I personally prefer someone who I know will be fun over a model quality ice queen any day, even though I still love the “trophy hunt!” at times. On the way back to the hotel, told her about the disappointment of no 3some with the college girls the night before. “You want?” she asked, I nodded, and she phoned a friend to come around! She arrived 30 minutes later, and I ended up with a great night! What service! Sometimes, all you gotta do is ask! My original girl was not shy in licking her friend’s sweet pussy, but not the other way around. Still, I wasn’t complaining! Gave them both the standard 1000 Baht next day, plus 300 baht each tip for such good service!
Next few nights followed the same pattern, first time I have actually enjoyed the Navy being in town! Didn’t even venture out hunting until after 11 pm, when the troops were all back asleep! Pulled good ones from Soi Tiger, Soi Sea Dragon and then my called my twosome back for a repeat session! Turns out I am breaking all my rules, must be getting older!
Many girls at Tai Pan disco which is open until after 3 most nights, and when that closes, any girls still not hitched head for Safari disco, about 10 minutes drive south, on the hill towards Karon. This place is full until almost daylight! I think the government is relaxing the rules post Tsunami, in order to help people get back on their feet. It was strictly closing time at 2 am in town and 3 pm at Safari pre Tsunami.
With the Navy gone, all the real pro’s immediately left town, and Patong was back to as before. With “been there, done that” syndrome setting in, I decided to head down to Hat Yai for a few days, not having been for more than a year. Report will continue in that section.
Attached are a few shots from recent activities. Have found that many girls are now very wary of having pics taken, as many know they now end up on the internet. One even knew that her picture was on WSG, her monger had told her(!) and absolutely refused to appear in ant shots, even clothed.
Maybe better to keep quiet as to where we are posting for the good of everyone!
Yes the American Navy left a few days ago, so everything back to normal. But still low level of tourism compared to pre Tsunami. Prices have dropped after the Americans left, but Tuk Tuk is still 100 Bt which is kind of insane compared with Bangkok Taxi prices. But the sun tanned babes of Patong are special.
Word from a friend in immigration is that Thai Immigration will be setting up at least 2 mobile immigration desks at yet unnamed resorts in Phuket in order to extend visas for those wanting to stay longer. It is in hope of keeping tourists and $ in the area for longer periods of time without them having to go through an agency or doing a border run.
The initial test will be for about 2 months.
sure will make things easier!
I've always heard that Phuket is the most expensive place for entertainment in Thailand. In general, it's full of foreigners with money burning holes in their pockets so the rates there are usually much higher than anywhere else. But, I just went there and had a lovely time there for 1800 B.
First, a taxis took me to Muang Fan on Poonpon Soi 1. It looked like any other brightly lit restaurant in Thai but at this one, there were only young ladies and they weren't eating. The men chose their poison from outside as the women waited to be called. It was my first time so I asked the Papa who was the best. They pointed me to Ann, she wasn't a hotty but was worth every kratang(500 Baht for short time half/half). I then walked back and found the Siam Hotel that. The taxi driver said that none were worth looking at but on the 4th floor, a siren named Gate appeared. Just fabulous. The had the works done one her, tummy tuck, breast enlargement, but man, the doctor was a magician. No kissing but a beautiful lay for 400B.
I then went with Rowi, a woman in her late 30's for another 400B.
I finished my 24 hour stop over at a massage parlor down the street. The most beautiful Bun gives the most sensual massage. Sucked her tits and got a handy and an hour massage for 400B.
So, you too can have cheap thrills in Phuket Town.
Enjoy!
I think Phuket is a dump. I didn't like it five years ago when I was there on a junket, and I didn't care for it last week when I went to take a scuba course. I'm not a fan of Thai girls so I didn't bother doing the Bangla or any other scene, but being in Patong Beach, where every other person is shouting "hello, new suit," "hello, tuk-tuk," "hello, whatever" sucked royally. I may go back there to do further training because I like the dive school (Scuba Cat, highly recommended), but the place licks, and not in a good way.
Intransit,
First of all I am sorry that my first post here is negitive one towards a member.
Ithink that putting up with locals trying to make a very modest living is a small price to pay for the privilage to be staying in such a fantastic place, and as a senior member I am surprised you dont accept that.
Also given the nature of this board, it was a strange place to visit given that you are not as you say "a fan of Thai girls"
Just my 2 bhats worth.
I will try to make my next post more positive.

Intrasit----if you don't like Thai girls, fair enough, but can I remind you that you are posting on a Thailand section of the WSG. I would imagine that there are dive schools all over the world----try some of them.
i just returned from 3 weeks in thailand. i started out spending 10 days in bangkok, 4 nights in pattaya, 4 nights in patong, and 3 nights on phi phi leh.
my experiences in the various venues (nana plaza, soi cowboy, walking road, and bangla road) gave me a pretty good opportunity to review the mongering scene in thailand.
phuket was a beautiful island, a great change (geographically) from bangkok but was rather lame in the night scene. the bars on bangla road were pretty empty just about every evening. generally there were about 5-10 girls sitting in each bar, some bars had a few guys sitting around but in general, the place was empty. the locals had a very desolate look in there eyes, a look of despair!.
i would rate bangla at the low end of the entertainment spectrum compared to soi cowboy, nana, and ecspecially walking road in pattaya.
i did manage to get a pretty good rate at the novotel (patong) for only $67/night including buffet breakfast. they gave me a upgraded room on one of the top floors overlooking the beach. luckily i left the day before the city of patong had a mandatory electrical blackout for two straight days (daytime only). could not imaging how it would have been without a/c!! quite a few people i spoke with told me that alot of the hotels did not notify the guests when the earthquake struck sumatra two weeks ago. quite unsettling for the tourists
also nabbed a great offer at the 4 star phi phi island resort for 3 days/2 nights including buffet breakfast, fixed traditional thai dinner, transportation from patong to phuket town and speed boat transport direct to the resort (avoiding long public ferry ride).. 4900 baht total, taxes and transport included. what a beautiful island chain,, a shame that the main areas got so devastated (tonsai bay)
timing is everthing and i was lucky to have missed the earthquakes two weeks ago and the one yesterday,,,
rather be lucky than good,,
Hello all, Finally in Thailand. Only problem is family is also here. Staying at Kata Beach. Anything in this area or do I need to head up to Patong or Phuket Town? Specific directions appreciated because I will probably print them and hand them to one of the cabbies. Still have another 5 days on the island. Would really like to sample the local girls.
Thanks
I've been coming down to Phuket on and off for the past 5 years and can truly say that I do enjoy this tropical paradise lots!
Am now trying to organize another trip next week but was told by my travel agent - horror of horrors - that the previous cheap flights on Orient Thai will not start until May 1 and that Dragon Air has stopped flying there. The only flight available is on Thai Airways which transits in Bangkok - thus making the previous 3-1/2 hour flight into an odyssey of anywhere from 5-1/2 hours to even 9 hours, depending on when I fly PLUS the cost is over HK$3,500.
Is this true? I thought that there is a big "Phuket" Drive to get more tourists down after the Tsunami. Do you guys know of any way I could get down and back Hong Kong/Phuket in a more convenient AND cheaper way?
Would appreciate any advise.
Thanks!
Gas Can (Gas Can???),
Just mention 'Patong' and any fool driving those little Phuket vans will understand what you're looking for.
The shortest route runs along the coast, a very hilly road. Just stay on until you get there, no way can you miss the bars...
They will ask for B500 or so one way - they will settle for B100 daytime, B150-200 nighttime.
Are there no regular buses to Patong from Kata? Busservices do go from places like Kata, Karon, Rawai and Patong to Phuket Town (near the market) for sure, where you can change to buses to any of those places.
Regular busservice terminates around 5.30 PM. Every trip takes up to 45 mins plus change-buses time.
Phuket takes a little (well, a lot) of getting used to. The roadplan is difficult to understand to say the least. Lots of one way streets and funny patterns to follow when you're driving or riding yourself.
BTW All Phuket Town taxidrivers are assholes - no exceptions! I've posted on those morons more than once.
Best grab a van, say 'Patong', hold on for dear life until you get there, let a girl take you to her room and fuck her trying hard not to think of your wife:(.
Then go back to Kata, you won't be bothered by the way your driver drives: Your life has changed forever:D!
[QUOTE=Gas Can]Staying at Kata Beach. Anything in this area or do I need to head up to Patong or Phuket Town?
Hi Gas Can,
Kata is very quiet compared to Patong, or even to Karon(!). There is a small cluster of beer bars on Patak Rd West (beach rd.) just south of the intersection with Tai Na rd. A few more at the east end of Tai Na near Patak Rd East (main road to Patong / Chalong). There are a few inexpensive hotels nearby with 400 baht rooms for short or long time time. Masage parlours are a plenty, and may be another option.
Karon has a slightly better selection of bars, a cluster between the stadium and Luang Pho Chuan rd., more at the beach end of Patak Road East, near the circle.
Girls available at all, though quality and quantity is far lower than in Patong.
Better bet is to take the tuk tuk ride to Patong (100-200 baht depending on negotiating skills and time of day/night). Much more choice, both BG and FL's.
When will Phuket ever get a baht bus service like Pattaya?
Let us know how you make out.
Thanks for the info gents. Will head out tonight to see what kind of trouble I can get into. Had the time last night, but didn't feel like getting soaked.
And while I am a dog, not here with the wife. Brought my folks over for a holiday. Promised myself I would behave but things just look too good.
Will take a tuk tuk to Patong this evening. Will let you know how things go.
Thanks.
a couple years ago i stayed at patong beach, patong villa hotel. i thought it was ok. but it didn’t have the relaxing beach atmosphere i was looking for. there are plenty of girls and things to do. but that’s not what i am always looking for. on my last visit i took a tuk-tuk to explore the southern beaches. kata is great but i also liked karon. i think karon is a great balance of relaxation and opportunities for fun. i stayed at the south sea resort for 1400 baht a night. high speed internet is available in some rooms for 500 or 600 baht. it’s a bit flakey and not worth it in my opinion. the hotel is ok. breakfast is pretty good. the hotel is girl friendly. there is still some clean up to be done across the street from the hotel. i imagine everything is nearing completion by now. i found the many open air bars at the north end of the beach to be great fun – the ones on the side streets close to little mermaid hotel, near the circle. hell the beach ain’t that big. you’ll find it. there are plenty of girls available there also for the number of men. i met a real sweetie in a bar at the south end of the beach. there are plenty of small not so brightly lit bars along thai na road. i had dinner at dino bar (diverse menu) which is at the southern end of the beach and karon café (good steaks) at the northern end. i recommend both places though i didn’t see any working girls there. i was looking for the anchor bar which is supposed to be on thai na road. i never found it. does anyone know if it still exists?
the girl in the photo is tar. this girl has a heart of gold. i wish i could have packed her up and taken her home with me. i found her in a bar along thai na road. i walked in. i sat next to her. we spoke for maybe a minute and then started fooling around right there in the bar. i took her back to my hotel for long time for 1000 baht. if you find yourself sitting next to her don’t hesitate to take her home. she’s worth it.
on my second day in phuket i went for an all day snorkeling trip. the cost was 1500 or 1600 baht. it included snorkeling at three beaches. stopping at two of the most beautiful beaches i have ever seen. drinks and snacks were provided for free throughout the day. flippers cost 50 baht. and a beach chair and umbrella at the final beach cost 150 baht. take 400 baht with you to pay for these things and a tip for the guide. it’s a great way to spend a day. if you have a tendency towards seasickness you may want to purchase some dramamine or something like it. you’ll spend a total 2 to 2.5 hours traveling by boat over the course of the day. i’ve included some beach shots. stops or photo ops included the phi phi islands, james bond island, shark bait island, some island with monkeys. and a little pale full of sand island where lunch was served. i wish the group i was with was more fun. i really wish i had met tar before this trip so i could have taken her.
i’m also including some shots from the bars at the north end of karon beach. they were all great fun and took good care of me. i didn’t take any of them home with me however.
i'll post tar in another post. i can't get them to upload.
These photos wouldn't upload with previous post.
Nowadays if you like a good mixture of normal Tourist behaviour + a nightscene in Thailand, I would not recommend Pattaya but PHUKET!
The prices went steep down for lodging. I found myself a nice room away from the extensive tourist area. For only 500 Baht. Very clean, every comfort Bahtroom (shower) + toilet, Kingsize bed, terras, dressers, TV, AC + fan, so most Western comforts available.
When you add a 120 upto 200 Baht/day for a motobyke, you are off and free wherever you wanna go for a total of : 700 Thai/Baht !! I dont know any place right now where you can find this on a vacation trip.
Anybody wanting the right place just visit my photopage and you will find out.
Otherwise send me a mail for further details.

COT,
Nice no bs reporting. Phuket is a great place to be.
Nice photos too, presented in a non WSG bandwidth consuming manner:), which is always good!
First, thanks to the folks who responded to my earlier posts requesting the laydown on Phuket. My parents were visiting in Korea and since it was the off season and some great rates were available, decided to take them to Phuket for a week.
Initially decided to behave and as a result, did no research. After three days, couldn't take it anymore and sent out the call for help. Again, thanks to all who responded.
Managed to get out twice. I was staying on Kata Noi beach and decided to take a tuk tuk to Patong. Cost each way was 300 baht (around US 7.50). Just told the drivers I was looking for drinking and girls.
All were in the know and pointed out a place called Christines on the way to the entertainment district. The first night, after wandering around for a few hours, I went back to Christines.
Very nice setup. It's in a former Hotel and runs fishbowl style with the girls segregated by price. Started at 1800 baht and went up to 2300 baht, depending on age.
They had a good selection of girls and after talking to the lady whop met me at the door, decided on two of the 1800 baht ladies. Went up to the room and got down to business.
Total time allowed was 90 minutes and it was a great experience. THe rooms was large and about a third taken up by a whirlpool tub and shower. They both gave me a GREAT soapy (much better than Korea) and then we moved to the bed and got down to business. Recieved CBJ and CFS in multiple positions. Afterwards, received another great massage on the bed. Tipped each 200 baht and left. Total damage was US 100 and I left with a smile.
Only dissapointment was I really wanted BBBJ which wasn't available and EVERYONE tried to hit me up for a tip.
Second night I was out, stayed later. Was in the area where the road is blocked off for pedestrians and the tuk tuk drivers were having a big demonstration.
Went into one of the go go bars on a side street and had a few drink. One gal was absolutely gorgeous. She saw me giving her the eye and came over to sit. Bought her two drinks at 130 baht each and then she had to go dance.
While she was dancing, mommy came over and we started negotiating.
Price quoted for short time was 1500 baht plus 500 baht barfine. I got her down to 1000 baht plus the bar fine.
The girls name was "Dow" and she was about 4'11" and maybe 80 pounds. Very small breasts and a great ass. She changed and we left. Found a hotel near the strip and got a room for 400 baht.
Was probably one of the best experiences of my life. Totally willing to please. Started out with BBBJ and moved on to CFS in multiple positions. Finished all over her perky little tits.
Tipped her 200 baht and then took off back to the hotel. Only regret was I couldn't keep her for the night.
Have no idea whether or not I got ripped off by local standards, but based on what I'm used to paying in Korea, it was a real bargain. Will have to make a trip by myself in the next year or so.
Once again, thanks for the help. Sorry I don't have the names of the hotel or bar. Just kind of wandered in without paying a lot of attention to the details.
Hi All,
Thanks for all the great info. Looking at the map, it seems like Club Andaman is near the middle of the action. Anyone know if it is GF? any other reccomendations? I would prefer a nice GF within walking distance of the action. I will be there May 22nd for a week if anyone would like to get together for a beer.
Biff
Biff Byte,
"I will be there May 22nd for a week if anyone would like to get together for a beer."
End of May is well into the low season. You will find many cheap rooms on offer. Which means you might as well not book in advance, but look around once on the ground instead.
Gentlemen,
Thank you for all your info! I have a general question maybe someone can assist me with. I am taking my 2 nephews who are graduating from Tulane and Florida State university at the end of May(31-14 Jun). We are headed to South east Asia for a graduation trip. I have done Phuket and all of Thailand (Marine Corps and multiple returns as a civilian). I was there in Nov 2004 and everthing was awesome. However, with all that has transpired and with low season aproaching is phuket worth a visit this time of year or should we visit other parts of Thailand.
Thank you.
Hi FlyJets,
I was in Phuket a month before the Tsunami. Unfortunately havent been there since.
Anyway ny the look of the posts and other amterials I have read seems everything is back to normal in Phuket. Except the amount of girls and quality is abit reduced.
Anyway maybe Pattaya would be a safer choice?

Biff[/QUOTE]No, not GF Friendly. Should find hotels nearer to Soi Bangla..this is where most of the action will be found. Lots of Budget hotels around Soi Sansabai near to Soi Bangla.

Thank you.[/QUOTE]Some parts of the beach is still under renovation/reconstruction but the rest of the area is as before. Soi Bangla is rocking and the quality of girls are better than that found in Pattaya,imho. Soi Erc, Soi Seadragon, Tiger, Soi Katoey are as before. Taipan, Baya Bay should be a good place to hangout.
[QUOTE=FlyJets]Gentlemen,
"However, with all that has transpired and with low season aproaching is phuket worth a visit this time of year or should we visit other parts of Thailand."
If you read previous posts, the general impression is that things are picking up quite nicely. There are still plenty of girls around, though you may have to look a little harder than before, but the main centres are still rocking. Plus, the girls are hungrier due to low levels of tourists, so pricing is still very good.
Freelance haunts like Tai Pan and Baya are excellent right now!
However, if it really is an eye opening experience that you are providing, why think "either/or"? Why not do it all! There are cheap flights every day from Phuket to Bangkok (Thai-Orient, Noc Air, Air Asia), and direct flights from Phuket to Pattaya via Bangkok Airways. Spend some time in Phuket to help rebuild the local economy, and if not satisfied, head off to Pattaya and/or Bangkok! They all have different experiences to offer.
Hi all,
My first visit to Phuket. I was just wondering if you ahve any suggestions / contact details of any real good Escort agencies in Phuket? Travelling there on 9 May.
Also does anyone know if Phuket aracadia Hilton is girl friendly ?
Look forward to your replies.. Thanks in advance. I can't wait to take my younger bro for a ggod ride :-)
WEE ZEL,
Thank you for your post. That is the best idea; try Phuket if we do not like it we head out to another city. I really wanted to return to Phuket and just needed a little push. I want to help them back into line and give other people the opportunity to explore and enjoy the delights of Phuket. I regularly stay outside of Patong however, this trip I might stay at Club Bamboo in Patong. Anyone heard of this and or recommend the property. Finally, my last question!@#%%^&. Is the Banana Disco open for business?
Thanks again,
Peace out.

With so many girls in Phuket right now, I do not understand why anyone would want an expensive escort service. You end up paying many times the going rate for the same girl (well, maybe a little better English, but not enough to discuss world politics with!!) in a more elegant dress. The agency pockets the difference. Just go to one of the discos, speak out at what you like and you'll be very satisfied.
Last I heard from Phuket Hilton was that it was not girl friendly, you get met by staff at all the entrances/shuttle bus stops, though that info is a few years old.
Good luck.
Member 3076,
Normally hotels in Phuket-Patong charge a small fee ranging from Bht300 - 500 (sometimes more depending on how many star) if you bring the girls up to your room.
FlyJets,
Ecellent decision bro. Phuket is paradise and I will be flying there as well later this year.
Cheers,
Ice
Just wondering whether the Holiday Inn on Patong beach is/was girl friendly? I stayed there but never took a girl back. I was in the Busakorn wing (the better part) if that makes a difference.
Thanks

You do not need an escort agency anywhere in Thailand. All you need to do is show up.
3076 - and learn to say "bai tooay mai?" (go togehter?) You will be spending more time saying "mai ow krup" (no thanks) than anyhting else
Thanks for all the input.I appreciate it as I am attending a meeting the last thing I want is to take up girls on my own. It will be quite embarassing :-)
As I reach early morning. Which is the best place to pick up girls for some afternoon session?
[QUOTE=Member #3076]
As I reach early morning. Which is the best place to pick up girls for some afternoon session?[/QUOTE]Phuket is short of good afternoon places now (since the sad demise of Valhalla!). There are a few bars on Soi Sea Dragon, near the far end on the north side, which have afternoon shifts and short time rooms. Several pool bars on Soi Bangla now have freelancers working the afternoon, and possibly the beer bars on the south side of Bangla..
Other than that, try the remains of Soi Sea Pearl (Soi Sai Nam Yen near the beach, north side), which occasionally has a few cuties show up for afternoon shift.
Or, you can head over the hill into Phuket Town and try the "delights" of the Siam Hotel!!
If you find any others. let us know!

Simmer,
Holiday inn is not very girl friendly. Even Busakorn not, even if you pay dearly.
You come with a girl first time, they will make a big fuss, call you in the reception room, argue and at the end - if you do not feel too embarrassed about it - they will give you an exeptional agreement that you are allowed one time!
No good for mongering, but otherwise a great hotel.
Try Tara Patong, still OK, girl friendly if you ask them via mail and has nice pool access rooms for reasonable rates.
Good Luck,
Mike
Michi,
Thanks. Methinks you've been in this situation before, or know somebody that has?
I second that for the [url]www.tharapatong.com[/url]. The pool rooms are great for night time action. Hit a vendor for some string bikini's at 500-750 baht. Pick you favorite size and just remember the strings are the quick release. I recmmend rooms 1152- 1157 for night action as they arein the darker section of the pool. You might remmind your neighbors to turn off their balcony lites at night as they tend to draw mosquitos!
The new res person is K. Apai info@tharapatongcom with a ref to that name. Menion no joiner fee for night guests. No Problem. Check out the stayu 4 pay three deal of thses days. 10 min from Bangla but quiet at night, best of both worlds.

Just back from nice little sojourn in Phuket and discovered it is now even better!
Seems like the girls are easier/mellower/more available/wider selection than before. Its definitely easier to get a very nice girl these days.
As far as hotels are concerned - BOY - what a selection! I heard that the occupancy rate in Phuket during this low season AFTER the tsunami is approximately 10% only - and as a result, the rates are great!
I would suggest that the best way to enjoy Phuket would be to rent a car straight away at the airport. As soon as you get out of the airport, there will be several car rental guys with placards selling their agency. I've rented from David Car rental a few times and been very satisfied - i.e. Bht 1,000 average for a nice little air conditioned/Automatic Transmission/newer car/jeeps/older cars at even lower price - inclusive of insurance and no mileage charge.
Take the car and explore Phuket at your leisure whilst pricing various hotel choices - from those luxury ones at Laguna (but where I heard that now they've got rooms starting at US$40), to the literal flop houses close by Patong.
There are decent hotels at Surin/Bang Tao and this is the area I usually stay at as I find it very convenient and a very nice balance between the "sunny tropical paradise Phuket" during the day and just a short distance away from Patong at night. Personally I feel that the sort of "sex in the face all day" experience in Patong is just a bit too much for me. Also, this area seems to be where the "stay put/established" expatriates of Phuket stay at. Some rich guy from Hong Kong known as Mr Lan Kwai fong has his multi million $$ house there and it's suppossed to only be slightly smaller than the largest house in Thailand owned by the King. He also have his high class shopping/eating center there. It's close to Laguna, not sleazy at all, and I guess right in the middle between/equidistance to the airport, the night life area of Patong, the Lotus super center, the International school, the Yacht basin.... and has very nice beaches close by. Fact is, I'm thinking of buying a place right around here and have spotted what seems to be a very high class development close by Bang Tao beach selling their 2 bedroom apartments for Bht 4.8 million. A good deal seeing as prices have not come down that much in Phuket even after the Tsunami. We''ll see!
After I've settled in my hotel, I usually then either hit the beaches or go down to Christin's massage during the day - Bht 1,800 - 2,200 for a nice soapy massage and FS - just slightly below the standard in Bangkok but still very acceptable. And yeah, I know you guys are gonna flame me for 'overpaying" BUT that IS the going price at this place and YES I do know that I can get great girls either for ST or LT anywhere from Bht 800 upwards - but hey what the hell - its all laid out properly at this Christin's!
Night time - well, so many nice cheap restaurants and so many great bars all along Patong at the different Sois! One can't help but have a good time in Phuket and I would encourage more of you to head down there and help out these people who are trying to rebuild Phuket. So Y'all come down there OK?

Well said! Phuket is definitely quite fine right now! The Sheraton Laguna is charging just $40 per room, down from $200 + last year! And the girls are very mellow, and hungry for paying customers!
I too like to stay outside Patong, just go in and grab a partner for the night, send her back next day by Tuk tuk.
In travelling around, I stopped often in Kamala, between Patong and Bangtao. Last year it was great, with over 20 bars and a great selection of girls. Those girls seem to have a much less pushy attitude, and are friendlier that their Patong sisters. It got hit very hard by the tsunami, and is still rebuilding, so many of the bars I used to frequentare still in ruins or boarded up. However, there are a suprising number of interesting bars opening. Most have a small selection, but the quality tends to be fairly high.
3 bars have finally reopened on the beach road, with a small selection of lookers, but the major suprise was on the main road. At the south end, Mountain View bar had 6-8 girls of which 3 would do just fine (beware the 2 katoeys!). The middle of the strip had 3 bars on the east side, 2 on the west with again from 3 to 6 lookers in each.
At the north end, the Crazy bar had 15 girls, of which 8-10 were very presentable!
As the quantity is small, every time I went back I saw approx the same number, but the girls were different, depending on who had been barfined that day!
All in all, a very pleasant and much more relaxed alternative to the arm pulling opprtunities in Patong, good for an occasional break from routine. (though I suspect I would be rapidly bored if that was all that was on offer on the island!)
One hotel that is NOT girl friendly is the Baan Sukothai on Bangla Road, I tried to book there from the Airport and they said I would have to pay 1000 baht a night joiner fee even if the room was booked for two people----we should all boycot these hotels and they may have to think again.
Was back in Phuket for the first time in 2 years, and was astonished at the damage in Patong & how it had changed. Was staying in Laguna for a Business thing – not the best spot, but opportunities can always be found.
Night 1 was spent cruising Patong the bars & shaking off the unwanted couples company. Settled on a cutie “Kong” 1500 all night. Got a room at the C&N hotel for 600B and was a bit shy, but got going as the night wore on. Good GF experience. Gave her a generous tip & took a Tuk Tuk at 7am to get me to Laguna Resort for my 8am meeting! Photo in Photo Section.
Night 2 was less enjoyable. Went to Rock Hard as I had enjoyed girls from there before with great attitude & skill. Pulled a right unfriendly one, “Apple”. Poor service & terrible attitude that all appeared when we got to the hotel. Should have left early, but just slept instead. LT 3000B.
Got to Chistin’s massage one afternoon. Fantastic, just as I remembered it. Took Girl No. 5. 2300B for the rub & tub, CBJ, DATY, FS. This is a must do for anyone going to Patong.
Back in Shanghai now, then some fun in Tokyo planned for mid June.
Gotta love Asia!

I can see that all of my posts on the previous guide no longer exist here, but I will be brief this time.
Stop paying too much for the girls, you are just fucking it all up for everyone else. ST from a bar = $500 and LT is $1000, ST from a GoGo Bar is $500-800 and LT = $1500-2000. Plus you must pay the bar fine $200-500. (All prices are negotiable everywhere and if you don't talk about the price and negotiate it up front, you're just a fucking idiot screwing things up for everyone) ALL prices are down after the tsunami for ALL of the girls because there are almost no customers. This means that the hottest girls at all of the bars, who wouldn't normally even give you a second look, are now agressively competing for customers and willing to lower thier prices (and expectations)
Another thing, avoid ALL of the massage parlors, especially Christin's. $2300+ for 90min! Do you really think this is a good deal? Especially since most of the girls there are NOT that good looking or give great service. It's easy to find day time activity, just politely start up a conversation with the bars girls on the street. Be respectful, as they are not at one of the bars and it is the day time where everyone can see, but if they are bar girls they should all be willing to go with you for $500 ST (no bar fine!) I've had girls stay with me all afternoon (sex 3-4 times) for $500. Of course, I gave them an extra tip or just asked them to stay LT for $1000.
It used to be easy to tell all of the new people to read the fucking forum (rtff), but after the change there isn't that much good info left. Just don't be stupid and pay Western prices. Have fun!

This may be a silly question, but does anyone know if the girls who work at Rio's are "available" ????????
Adjarn,
if I compare the prices today with the ones 20yrs ago not much have happened due to better exchange rates. Exchange rates also reflect the strength of the economy and depend on inflation. Overall prices (cost of living) increased over that period of time, so the absolute increase in prices justify the absolute increase in the girls payment.
I guess during the last 20yrs there had been thousands if not millions of guys overpaying, but that had no effect on the average price. So I do not see your point.
Furthermore, some of these lovely ladies have lost friends or part of their family and I - besides others - do not want to take advantage out of their misery.
Be fair, pay them well and have a good time. I guess you go to Thailand to have fun and not to save money.
[QUOTE=Jimmy Red Cab]This may be a silly question, but does anyone know if the girls who work at Rio's are "available"?[QUOTE]As with anywhere that involves waitresses, some are, some aren't, you just have to ask in a polite way, and judge the answer from her response.
Even the ones with permanent boyfriends could become "available" given the right incentive, but why would anyone want to start jacking up prices when just as good looking girls are in Tai Pan, right across the road, every night?
Traveller,
I respect your opinions and have enjoyed your contributions as well. However, there is still no need to overpay. If you want to overpay a girl just because she happen to be a bar girl in Phuket and there was a tsumani there, then I think you're just going to be taken advantage of. I live in Phuket and I know the girls very well. I know it sucks and I know it's terrible to say, but the truth is, the tsunami is just one more way to scam the foreingers out of more money. Yes, they may have lost some friends, and perhaps some family (if their sister/mother/cousin was also working as a bar girl, since Phuket girls won't work in Patong), but if the girl is currently working in the bars, then she was probably not harmed in any way. The girls who were really freaked out by what happened have all left Phuket for Pattaya or elsewhere. It was no doubt a very scary experience for everyone. I lost a lot friends too. Girls work in the bars for a variety of reasons, and they also have a variety of "stories" to tell customers so that they take pity on them and give them more money.
Unfortunately, many of the stories are true, but many are not. Again, I don't want to sound like an asshole for saying any of this, but the purpose of this forum is the help others and to educate newbies. There is no doubt that the bar girls in Phuket will be using the tsunami to get simpathy (extra cash) from customers, even if they weren't in Phuket when it happened. -this is coming directly from the girls mouths. P4P girls will ALWAYS accept extra money for their services. Perhaps I was too stern with my previous post. Just pay the standard wherever you are. If you were in BKK or Pattaya, would you give the girls $1000 over the standard? I hope not.
Enjoy,
Adjarn
[QUOTE=Adjarn]If you were in BKK or Pattaya, would you give the girls $1000 over the standard?[/QUOTE]Sure I do, all the time. I have a good job (outside Thailand) and 1000bath is not much for me. I think 1000bath for LT for a night of great sex with a beautiful bar girl is basically for free. If I had a good time I'm very happy to give a 1000bath tip. If not I will kick her out before the night is over.
Back home in Europe I used to pay 50 euro (2500bath) for a 15 min. quick one with a not so nice girl. So a full night with a stunner for 2000 bath is still a steal.
And don't tell me I'm "screwing it up" for others. A few guys paying good tips won't drive up prices. Too many cheap Charlies around for that ;-)
why debate the price someone else pays...It is after all a subjective quantity from both parties involved in the negotiations.
I understand that some might feel that if too many punters pay too high a 'tariff' that the overall price will be driven up.
I do not feel that this is a logical argument.
If a 'buyer' sets his mind to making a 'purchase' for only X00 bath he can find a 'seller'. If a 'seller' sets her 'price' at X000 baht she can find a 'buyer'.
This is how it is. There are too many factors to consider to begin any accurate measure of price fixing.
The important thing is if you enjoyed yourself. Who can put a price on that?

I pay what I feel is appropriate at the time, no one can say what the maximum should be because of the varying quality of the girls. Suppose a real little stunner asks you for 3000 LT, you can try to bid her down but if she refuses to budge you have to pay it---or lose her to someone who will.
[QUOTE=Pointy]

Adjarn,
don't worry, I got your comment ther right way.
All I say is, that nobody should pay less than the going rates just because the tsunami led to fewer customers. I always pay on performance, no matter if I could get away with less. I also find this bargaining that so many guys talk about very disturbing. It kills my mood.
Within over 20yrs in Thailand I was only asked by a handful of girls how much I will pay them. I never tell them in advance because I don't know. So my answer usually goes like "if you are cheap to me, I will be cheap to you as well, but if you are generous, I will be generous too".
I usually get a smile and no talk about money anymore. I understand why they want to know, a lot of cheap charlies around but the girls are often experienced enough to see what kind of person you are.
Only once a girl insisted to fix the price beforehand. She was stunning but my answer was that she gets no money at all. She hadn't expected an answer like that so I explained her that she gets no money because I won't take her. I only take girls that do like me and not just go for the money - or at least make me feel like that.
JRC - maybe... but IF the traffic is 2000, and she wants 3000, she might sleep alone. It used to be that they referred to some of the areas as "soi-ha-loi-baht" after 2AM (500 bhat street) for OBVIOUS reasons. Pay what you NEED to pay to get the QUALITY you WANT (myself, I'm "cheap charlie" - hasn't diminished the quantity)

Dinghy,
In my limited experience, 8 visits since Jan 2001, I find that by 2 am there are very few stunners available, they have all been taken---by guys who are willing to pay them a generous fee. Some guys prefer to pay 500 baht for a girl who looks like she has been hit in the face with a wok, each to his own.
o...or too boring...I challenge anyone in Phuket to visit Phukettown's fabulous row Thanon Poonpon Soi 11. Known to everyone as 'Soi Sipet'. Post a report I would just love to hear about it.
ummm, not for the faint of heart.....
Hey Guys,
First time to phuket staying at karon hilton. Is the hotel GFriendly?
What are the cheap hotels at Patong?
Whats the best SW time and place in Phuket? Is PHUKET cheaper than BKK with the same quality? whats the going price range Lt and ST?
Any russians/white/cis girls in the area?

ummm, not for the faint of heart.[/QUOTE]Fine place if you like shack brothel shagging, similar to Cambodia without the pigs under the floorboards!
Many of these girls have been "purchased" from their parents in the North, Chiang Mai region in particular, and have to work until they pay off their "debt". All look very sorry for themselves. Definitely do not walk down Soi Sipet with gold rings and bracelets on, expensive watches or a full wallet, or there will be a different report posted!
Some years ago, the equivalent of Soi 11 was across the road from Jammin' bar. Some girls there decided that they could not carry on with the beatings, abuse and services required, and would rather die than continue. When they ran away to the police, they were returned! So they agreed that they would rather die than continue their sorry existence, and started a fire in the building. As the exit doors were locked, and many girls were shackled, most died in the blaze. Noone was held to account. The owners simply moved to Soi Sipet and carried on business as usual.
So, if you do go, be aware of what you are supporting.
Went to Phuket on June 8-16. We had a blast! There was some noticeable damage on the coastal areas however, the night life and girls were fine. I was there in Oct 04 and I could not tell a difference in the talent or the attitude of the girls, both were great. All the soi's off Bangla Road were at normal operating procedures. I prefer soi sea dragon because it is open on both ends. It was hot as hell and the extra breeze was perfect. Every day was the same. Beach in the morning to look at the hunnies, back to shower, drinks on Bangla at the beer bars talking to all the beer bar girls while waiting for Banana disco to open. Banana has the hottest girls in Phuket in my opinion. They do not allow lady boys to enter the club so it also eliminates some of that treachery. It is open until 2 AM. All the girls there were working. At first glance you think they are not and your in a dance club in the States or Europe. But, have no fear they are all working. We would grab girls then head to Tiger or Tia Pan discos both open until 4 am and full of talent looking to get busy. We all pulled different girls every night. We would drag the girls through this ritual every night even if we met them early in the evening. We forced them to endure mass quantities of drinking and watching us get attacked from all of the competition 4AM. After 4 AM there is an after hours club called Safari Bar. Out doors and lots of craziness. Open till sunrise. Then we would head back to our hotel CLUB BAMBOO Patong beach. Drunk as hell and bringing a new girl back to the room. I had a penthouse for $68. Large Jacuzzi and large balcony to hit the girls doggy style and watch the sun come up. The hotel was girl friendly and also had rooms and suites for $30 which were nice also. We all pulled pussy from every venue offered in Phuket and all of us were satisfied. We called it our TSUNAMI relief tour. We donated all our money in beer, food and *****s and felt great about doing our duty. If you have any fears I am here to tell you Phuket is as good as ever. Peace out.
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a hotel that is girl friendly, has a nice pool and big rooms. I haven't been to Phuket but I think I don't want to stay in Patpong, close by would be nice. I'm thinking around 1000.bht a night. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Raul
Raul - I think you mean PATONG (It is a long long way to Phuket from PATPONG - and I probably wouldn't want to stay in PATPONG either)
OK Flyjets, you just convinced me, I'm going back this November. I left there 30 days before the tragedy and have been hesitant to go back as I am somewhat afraid of being disappointed. But you are right in your excellent report that we should launch our own grass roots relief tour. By grass roots I mean being there in person to make sure the money gets to the right folks, the hookers, bar girls/owners, hotel girls (god bless them), etc. Never trust the pols to put money anywhere but in their greedy pockets. Right on, Flyjets!, see you there!...ldp
Hello,
I have a voucher for the above located on the beach front of Nai Yang next to the National Park that overlooks the white sands of beautiful Nai Yang beach.
I am planing to stay there for 4 days. Thinking of bringing my girl from BKK over. Are they girl friendly?
If I go alone, do you think they will stop me from bringing girls in?
Last year when I was here, the going rates seemed to be 1000ST/1500LT. The girls who would go for less weren't worth taking. This year, I Walk down Soi Eric and the good lookin' girls seem to think that 1500Bt for ST is reasonable. Shocking and I ain't paying it.
The girls I have pulled from Bangla in general have pretty much been lousy lays too. I could have more fun shagging a wet sponge. One girl tried to convince me that doing the deed once before midnight, going to sleep, and then leaving at 7am should count for LT.
I dunno. The beer sois seem like a real drag this year. Pretty much empty at night and the energy just don't seem to be there. Its sad really. If more people would come and tourism numbers got back up, I bet it would be grand again.
The TSUNAMI RELIEF TOUR sounds like a great idea. Please, come one and all.
I ain't much of a disco guy myself but the times I have spent at Tai Pan and Tiger have also been kind of a drag. I think its a weird feeling.
Maybe its me. I am getting too old and paunchy. Jesus Christ I am only 31.
Mr. Dick Hackman,
I am truly sorry to hear that you have been so disappointed by Patong. However, my friends that traveled with me last month all have great things to say about the area. Call us crazy; but we had none stop fun in all the discos ….from banana, tiger, Tai pan and the others. It is a tourist area so the cheese oozes from all aspects of the location, but that is half of the fun. If you live there I can see your dilemma. If you’re visiting 1500 baht is a target that seems like fair market value. I am not a Thailand national but we visit 2 or 3 times a year and have been doing such for 18 years. I work and live in South America and it is a welcome change to what we have to deal with and the prices for tourists seem to be just fine for a traveler. That’s my 2 cents. Peace out, and for those of you who want to visit (not nationals) go for it. They need your pesos, dollars, yen, euros and pounds.
Peace out.
Hi guys,
after a long period of very busy work, I'm finally back in Patong for a while.
I will stay in Patong Resort as usual.
Anyone would like to join me for drink and some chat please message me.
Happy mongering to evryone.........
Hi mates,
I'll be in Patong last weekend this month, just for a weekend-trip.
How's the performance in low season in general?
And especially Soi corocodile? Sweet "ladies" there?
:-)
Cheers!
Hey Guys,
I have made many trips to Bangkok and Pattaya. This will be my first trip to Phuket and Patong Beach. I am bring my teenage sons with me. I thought I would break them in in Phuket instead of Pattaya. Don't really want them to see the best at first .
Ok, I have a few questions. Where is the best place to stay with teenage boys, 17 and 19? Yes, I am getting each there own room. Must be girl friendly at least for me. Will I have any trouble getting them into disco's or bars?
Do you guys think I am making a mistake? I have been married 2 times and divorced 2 times. I think if somebody had taken me to Thailand when I was a teenager that I would have at least waited fora few years before I first got married.
I hope you guys feel the same.
Thanks,
Garfield
Garf888,
Teenage males are not likely to find mongering in Thailand so great. The easy find of willing young females is very attractive to us more mature men, but to them any disco in Farangland looks like that. Odds are even in a Thai disco, they will be attracted far more by Farang girls their age.
The same goes with the more fundamental attraction of GFE with a TG. You can only appreciate the sweetness and delight of that after years of rejection and bitching by Farang women. And the huge thrill of having sex with a lady half your age is lost on you until you reach your forties :).
Frankly, I do not believe it is such a great idea to take your 2 teenage boys on a mongering trip. If you want to do a father-son thing, take them to a fishing trip, or golfing or something.
And do you really want your sons see their father mongering with low-life Thai prostitutes? Why don't you let your boys live their own lives?
It might sound odd in this forum, but I also find it a little weird to bring teenage kids to a mongering place. Are they virgins? If so I think it is a little unfair to force them into sex. Paying for sex is not everybody's choice - if they want to, then fair enough, but don't coerce them into doing so. At that age they ought to be able to find girlfriends in the normal way.
But we don't know your sons and can't make fully judged statements. You know them, you know the scene, and it's up to you what you do. We can only make suggestions give opinions based on the facts given.
Garf888,
my father did the same, he invited me to Thailand at the age of 17. He said that every father once had to go to a brothel with his son and that Pattaya is the biggest brothel in the world.
It did no harm to me but not all people are the same. To be honest, I wouldn't do that before they turn 25 or so. I think it is best that they have the occasion to get some experience with the girls back home and are able to compare. It might be too much for them at that age and they should be more mature in my opinion.
I have also seen many guys who got addicted to LOS, the easy life and the cheap girls. They weren't able to build up relationships anymore and were only focussed to get back to Thailand, not on their career or what other goal anybody might have. In short, they ruined their future for a few years in LOS.
Besides, aren't you worried about any diseases, especially HIV ?
Sure, they will know that they should use a condom, but they might be too excited, break them (fingernails) or whatever. When I came to Thailand the first time HIV was no issue, but nowadays I wouldn't dare to put my beloved ones at risk.
My advice : Don't bring them to Thailand for mongering !
Avoid the usual sex scenes, Thailand has much more to provide than just the girls, it's a beautiful country with good food and nice people.

Seydlitz,
Very well said. I'm in my fifties now, but was lucky enough to first visit LOS as an eighteen year old (Hippie backpacker, not military) and what you say is true to my experience. I slept with a different TG every night, but in all honesty it wasn't that big a thrill because I could do the same at home with girls I had a lot more in common with.
It wasn't really until my late twenties, early thirties, a divorce,and a lot of subsequent trips to asia that I began to really appreciate what the charms of the Thai mongering scene were for me.
You're so right, a teenage male can have a good time in Thailand, but he won't savor the experience until he's been knocked around a bit by farang women; and yes, that half the age thing is good too.
Cheers,

Garfield,
I was in Phuket with my nephews last month (JUNE). They are 18 and 21. They loved it! I went to Thailand at 18 with the United States Marine Corps. I adjusted just fine after that. I had slayed girls before that and continued in my College frat and through my adult life. I adjusted well and have adapted my craft to work well in all atmospheres. From all the major cities in the US to most of EU and most of Asia. You just have to know the rules of the game. If they are well adjusted men they will roll with the program and whatever it has to offer. If it is pay for play so be it. If it is suave, dashing, courteous and coultured so be it. They can and will adjust if you teach them the value of the game. In the US it is, who looks the best or whom talks the talk and walks the walk. Confidence is all it takes to walk the walk. We all had to start on the fat chick or the local **** to build our confidence, self-assurance and poise. That is part of the game. However, If they are virgins and are afriad of girls i might say no. However, My nephews are animals and rolled with the program and grabbed what they could. They are both back at College now and slamming all that an 18 and 21 year old can. So if you have the option take their uncle to introduce them to the game. If they do not have one; I am for rent and will expose them to the delights of Thailand. Peace out.

I just want to thank everybody so much. I am not bringing them here to monger. If I was going to do that I would take them to Pattaya. Yes, we will play golf, ride gocarts, go diving and ect. I am just saying that if they do meet some honeys and have a good time that is also ok.
My company is flying my kids here to meet me. I have not been able to get back to the USA to see them this summer. So I agreed to stay here working till October. I just want them to experiance the culture, the food. Just the all around friendliness of these people. I am sure they will love it.
I just don't want you guys to think I would push anything like that on them.
Smile,
Garfield
I know we're supposed to be talking about Phuket pussy here, but I had a quick story to add, since the topic seems to be about bringing the young ones to the bars.
Last summer I was hanging out in the Tiger Bar Complex and I saw this kid sitting at the bar drinking a Heiniken. when I say kid, I mean at most he could have been 10 years old. Sipping on the beer like it was a big ole teet from his mother. At first, I just kind of watched him for a few seconds. Then I noticed that there is a fucking hot girl sitting next to him who seems to be chatting with him. Now let me clarify something. This girl was by far the hottest, sexiest girl I have ever seen in any of the bars, go go's, discos, etc. in Phuket, and I've been living her for years. On a scale of 1-10, this girl was a 50. I mean this girl looked about 18 and had the most beautiful body all packaged up in some extremely sexy clothes. Great skin, long brown hair with just enough highlighting, and again an amazing body. So again, I'm looking around trying to see what's what. Well, of course I'm not going to let this vision, this goddess out of my sight, or out of my bed if i can help it, so I get up and walk over to her and talk with her. I asked her if she knew who this kid was, and she smiled and said "yes, he's my little brother". Just then, the girl sitting next to the one I was talking to turned around and joined in our conversation. This second girl, was also amazing looking in every possible way (including silicon breasts) and on a scale of 1-10, she could easily get a 20. Unfortunately for me, this second girl/woman turned out to be the mother of both of them, and her American husband was also sitting there with them. (Lucky bastard) I'm just glad I wasn't an idiot with the daugher. When I told them I was concerned that the boy was here alone, they said thank you for my interests, but I could see that they didn't seem to have a problem with him getting drunk on their family vacation.
I'll tell you all, if any of us are lucky enough to have a wife that looks like that after having two kids, you'll be the luckiest guy in the world. Or I suppose the guy who ends up with the daughter. I don't envy the father though, I can only imagine just how many guys are after his daughter.

Garfield,
a wise decision.
If it will happen, let it happen but don't force it.
Don't forget to remind your boys to protect themselves and to avoid risky techniques (DATY, fingering etc.)
Good luck
[QUOTE=The Traveler]Don't forget to remind your boys to protect themselves and to avoid risky techniques (DATY, fingering etc.)[/QUOTE]Huh? Fingering risky? Since when? And for what meaning risky? If you refer to any kind of STD, so I think fingering isn't risky at all. No virus or bacterium is able to pass through "normal" skin we have at the fingers. They need thin mucous membrane.
Considering all, then the most risky thing while visiting Patong is the minibus ride to/from the Airport.
Cheers!
Not to dispute you, Ekspat, but truth be known - syph can and will transmit thru "simple" contact - in fact, dermatologists used to be a "prime target" (days before rubber gloving everything). Go look it up if you wish. Many of the old photos of ulcerative syph were taken of dermatologists (now, I'm talking before penicillin, but it DID happen) HIV needs moisture to remain viable (or so it has been reported) and won't transmit thru unbroken skin. GC (diplococcus - clap) is a pretty BIG item and needs mositure as well to survive and it won't pass unbroken skin either.
Ekspat,
everybody will most likely have microscopic small injuries at their fingers. Guess you cut the skin at your fingernails from time to time or you touch sharp items. I have even cut my fingers at paper without even recognizing it. No need for a mucous membrane (who told you that nonsense ?), blood to blood contact is the way it is transmitted.
HIV or Hepatitis might be transmitted that way, just to name two of the worst.
The girl might be - for what reason ever - bleeding without you and her knowing. Would you like to have unprotected contact with some of her blood ?
Or to phrase it in a different way : Would you dare to touch a HIV positive blood sample without gloves ?

The fuck is a 10 year old doing in a bar in the 1st place? I dont know maybe I am ignorant, but I did not see any kids bars while I was in LOS...this isn't be common..or is it?
[QUOTE=The Traveler]No need for a mucous membrane (who told you that nonsense ?), blood to blood contact is the way it is transmitted.[/QUOTE]Hi TT,
Yes, it is one way to be transmitted and probably the best, but not the only one. Don't remember who told me the nonsense.
Dinghy, the thing about syph is good to know. Have to say I wasn't aware of it. But I will not put on rubber gloves for fingering, sorry. No way.
Anyway, going off to Jakarta now and likely to have a relaxing weekend. Guys, have a wonderful weekend as well.
Cheers!
Hey,
I just wanted to remind everyone again about one of the scams going on in Phuket. It's been going on for a while, even after the tsunami, and yes, even in low season.
The scam is this, if you are an experienced punter, you will probably negotiate the price up front before you take a girl from a bar. (ST=$500, LT$1000, plus bar fine). Once the girl knows that you are experienced, she agrees to go with you LT after you pay the bar. Back in the room everything is fine until after you finish doing the girl the first time. Then, she will either make up some excuse to leave (ex. my roomate doesn't have a key to our house, etc) or she will just say that she only wants to do ST.
Now this isn't always the case, and it's only happened to me once last summer, but many of the girls have told me this is common when they know we know what we're doing. The reasons they gave me is this: If the guy doesn't know what he's doing, he'll either pay a lot more money, or he'll be satisfied with just 2 pops, one at night and another in the morning. In addition, the girls are interested in making more money. If they ST with you, then they can go back to the bar, or disco, and hook up with someone else for a LT, increasing their earned money by at least $500. PLUS, many of the bars actually give the girls a percentage of the bar fines, so two bar fines are better than one.
The solution is this, and may seem harse to some of you, but you should NOT pay the girl. Instead, tell her that the two of you agreed on LT and that is why you bar fined her. Tell her that she's a liar and trying to rip you off. Tell her that you already paid the bar for her ($300-500) and that's all ST is worth. Plus, you don't want to have to leave to go out and find another girl, AND you don't want to have to pay another bar fine, again $300-500.
Of course, the girl will put on a show of being angry and demanding payment, but stand your ground and just kick her out. Don't worry if she threatens you that she's going to tell people and you'll never be able to go out to the bars again, money talks and BS walks, so send her walking. Don't let her stay at this point. However, never ever ever use physical force on the girl or you'll end up in the police station.
Tell all your friends about the scam.
In my case last year, I was so disappointed. I had heard about the scam before and not expecting it since I talked with my girl for a long time about staying LT. In fact, this girl was the perfect type of girl for me in every way. If she didn't pull the scam with me, I would have kept her for a very very long time and she would have made a lot of money. The one time we had sex amazing, and I'm sure I even made her cum twice. I would have loved to have spent more time with this girl. Even still, she was only after the bigger payoff. If it happens to you, don't get taken off guard, and don't take it personally.

Ekspat,
yep, there are many ways to get it.
Just practice safe sex, even the greatest fuck isn't worth to contract HIV.
Better be safe than sorry.
[QUOTE=Adjarn]Hey,

I've heard of this kind of scam before. I've never seen it. Actually, I've had the opposite problem. Often -- more often then the scam happens I'm sure -- the girl will want to spend the night even after negotiating short time beforehand. It's a a very nice ego boost having to damn near force them out the door when you are ready for them to leave.
Either way, be sure to get what you agreed upon, which should be the same as what you wanted. Otherwise you are just wasting time. When you are looking for guidence, remember what Dalton - Road House had to say:
All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your (bargirl). Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar (or the hotel room) unless it's absolutely necessary. And three, be nice ... until it's time to not be nice.
Adjarn,
A girl I was with, I picked her up in Patong and took her to my room in PhuketTown, had to call someone. This was before the days of cellphones, so we went outside and, guess what, uncle was ill and she needed to go to Buriram immediately (in the middle of the night...)
I told her she could go anytime, but I would only pay in the morning after I cashed a check. It was before the days of ATMs as well.
She stayed and never talked about uncle again. I paid her the next morning after I dropped her off at her bar in Patong.
We had one more pleasant night together. Neither of us mentioned uncle...
BTW The girls in Hua Hin do the same thing almost everytime.
It is much better to talk of ST only and set a price accordingly. Some will go, some will stay for a little extra (your terms apply) or even for free.
It's a business deal: Stick with the contract.
Hey guys,
What's up with Christine's Massage these days? This will be my 1st time to go there. Do you recommend it?
How much is it? How's the selection of girls, 1-10?
And what are the rates for renting a car like?
Thanks.
It's a total rip off place, run by the Thai-Chinese mofia, over-priced, and with low quality. You can find girls everywhere that will ST with you for $500-$800 for 1-3 pops.

I only been there 3 times. The girl quality is only 6-7 at best. The cost is more than
Pattaya, 2000 baht I think. It's better to get girl from bar 1500 - 2000 all nite.
In town there are 2 massages. One is by Ocean Mall. 1800 baht. Girl is better
than Christine not as good as Bangkok.
Everything cost high in Phuket, twice the cost than Pattaya, but beach is
beautiful, so is the scuba diving. Car renting is 20 USd a day and 30 for a jeep a day Not cheap.

FastEddie,
What's the name of the massage place near Ocean Plaza?
What's the quality of the girls, 1-10? Recommend it over Christines?
Thanks so far.
Day 1: After having unpacked my luggage, I rush to the beach in the late afternoon. While I’m swimming, I spot a girl picking up some small kind of seafood in the wet sand. She has the kind of slim body I like and a nice face. I approach her and she tells me she works in a Bar in Bangla road. Ok, I tell her I will see her tonight. At night I go to Bangla road and it seems the girls are starving for customers at this time of the year. Very few beautiful girls around though. The overall quality is rather low. After some exploration, I find the Bar and the girl I saw on the beach. The girls all rush to me to get lady drinks and I offer them a few drinks. Gosh! It’s so expensive in Phuket, 120 THB per drink! That’s a mistake I will not make again! The girl who looked quite normal on the beach, looks now like a ***** with her make-up and sexy clothes! She’s kind but a little rough: typical unsophisticated country girl. I think OK, some animal charm can also be welcomed sometimes. I pay her barfine and we go dancing in Tiger disco. It’s a big disco but really only get crowded from 12 pm. Entrance is 100 THB and you get a drink ticket. Wow! This girl has a way of dancing that is quite arousing and we had a lot of fun. We spend the rest of the night in my room. Good sessions with BJ. The girl is supposed to be wet but I suspect she puts some saliva up it to make believe she’s wet!
Day 2: I want to try other girls and I’m fed up with paying lady drinks, so I go to Banana disco. It also only gets crowded from 12 pm, but closes at 2 am. Entrance is 300 THB with 2 drink tickets. Lots of P4P girls, but also many young tourist who go there only for fun. I end up picking up a nice girl with a “Brigitte Bardo” style of mouth. Back to my room, I find out she’s no so young, but still has a nice body. It’s incredible how fresh she is for 29 y.o. She’s really eager to do a good job and provides a good and exciting service.
Day 3: I go to Banana and spot a girl I like. Unfortunately, she is with her sister and I understand they only go with men if they find 2 men who are together. Which they did shortly after I approached her. So around 1 am I go to Tiger disco. There I spot two sisters and I like the younger one, who is 19. I talk with her sister because the young one does not speak English. She explains to me her sister wants money (how surprising!), and she wants 500 for short time! She does only short time because she does not speak English. I succeed in convincing her to spend the whole night with me. Wow! She has such a nice young body with firm tits and sweet skin. Totally GFE, wet pussy, and enjoying it so much. My best experience in Phuket. For some unknown reason I never saw her again.
Day 4: I go to Tiger disco to see her again. After some time, I get approached by a girl who seemed pretty and not stupid. As it is now evident that I will not find the girl from yesterday, we have a drink together and she takes me to a near Bar called Bahia Beach. It’s supposed to be a French place and it’s packed with people after 12 pm. The advantage of this place is that it’s not too dark, so you can better see the girls and avoid the disappointment you sometime have when you see the girl you picked up in full light. In fact, I find out the girl is maybe not so pretty, and moreover I don’t have a good feeling. She’s either very tired or more likely on drug, so I leave her. I rush toward a beautiful girl I spotted, but strangely, it seems she’s not here to find a customer. Too late, the other beautiful girls are already picked up. Anyway, it’s closing time and I go out, wondering if I would go to another place called Safari or go to sleep. Walking outside, I come across the girl I met the first day. Wow! She’s really sexy. Of course, she’s very happy to see me again and we go together. She gave me a super sex experience and it seems she enjoyed it.
Day 5: I go again to Banana, as this place gets crowded a little earlier than the others. I talk again with the girl I saw there on Day 3. But she’s again with her sister and I’m alone, so they go with 2 guys as last time. How hopeless! As it’s my last day in Phuket and I don’t want to stay too late, I go to pick up the Bar girl from yesterday. She’s even more happy to see me and gives me a passionate treatment. Of course she’s not so happy in the morning when I tell her I go.
That's it!
I just came back from Patong!
Its horrible rip off place. Everything is over charged, overrun with Indians since the Tsunami, who constantly bait you to buy over-charged copy goods. Very few girl-friendly hotels from what I heard speaking to other guys out there. My hotel was 700 baht to take a girl back!
I would recomend to anybody use Pattaya, BKK or Issan and save vast amounts of money & get far better looking girls @ half the price!
Hi all. Been reading the forum for a long time now and it's provided a lot of useful info. Just wondering what your opinion is. Is it best to head to Phuket or Pattaya at this time (next week)? I've been to Phuket in the past but that was before the events of last December. It was great then but now I'm reading mixed reports. Never been to Pattaya. Either way I'd like to avoid an area if the military's in town.
Thanks guys!

I guess the receding waves of the Tsunami brought the Indians in Madras to Patong.
Get a life Patterson. When you go to any tourist place it is always a ripoff. Learn to live the life of a tourist, otherwise you aren't getting the joys of travel. You only get ripped off if you allow yourself to be.
Having been to Thailand several times this was by far my worst experience!
It was a horrible time all hotels were NOT GF & would never go again Pattaya, BKK, Samui, Chiang Mai all 1000x better!
The beer was over priced the girls were over priced not a nice place at all!
If I wanted to be hounded by Indians i would have gone to New Delhi again?
Yes you only get ripped off if you let it happen but to be badgered everyday & night was NOT fun for me & I would say Pattaya possible 35 girls to everyone in Patong & a third off the price so not to be ripped off again I will not be going ;)
One mans meat is the other one's poison.
Once I had planned to go Pattaya for 5 days. After 3 days I stopped it and rushed back to BKK. Sorry, never again Pattaya.
Sometimes Phuket, yes, since I have a direct flight into the island. Just 2 weeks back I've been there for a weekend and had a very good time. Of course I pay more than the locals, so what? Thats all over Asia the case and a pure tourist area is always relatively overpriced, but it seems (and is) still dirtcheap in the eyes of the tourists from Europe or US.
Anyway, I travel to Thailand only if I can't get a flight elsewhere. It isn't my preferred country. But all a matter of taste and preferences. Some love Phuket, some Pattaya, some Bali, some Greenland.
Cheers!
Ekspat,
Yeh i agree one mans food etc !!! I have had bad times all over the world anybody who travels regular knows it aint always sunshine & lollypops ;)
But I felt the last trip to Patong was one off if not the worse time anywhere along with the group i travelled with could not wait to get back to BKK! Also everybody we spoke to in bars etc also were giving it the thumbs down.
I first went to Patong in 1990 & first travelled to Thailand in 1987 & can say without a shadow of a doubt worst time ever in the land of smiles & would not travel to Phuket free :P The hassle from the Indians touting there goods was a constant pain in the arse along with watching them spitting everywhere & scurrying about like rats morning noon & night narrrrrrrrrr mate give me Pattaya or bkk everyday!
I'm surprised by recent postings complaining about Phuket- it beats Pattaya for me everytime. I'm surprised to hear that hotels there are charging for girls to stay. I make sure with EVERY hotel i stay in Thailand by emailing or faxing them before I arrive and stating that I have a guest visiting me during my stay and making sure there is no surcharge- i then keep their reply saying there is no charge with me- that way when a late night security guard or receptionist is on the make I show them the written confirmation when they demand money. I know this procedure might sound time consuming but it works every time.
In my humble opinion:
Pattaya is great for a weekend to get you out of the city, but for more than a few days it can drive you mad. Its a pretty ugly place and can attract a lot of very low-end package holiday tourists.
Phuket by comparison is absolutely beautiful, the pace is a lot more mellow and the overall level is visitor is higher.
Yes, you will pay more in Phuket, but you get what you pay for.
And as for GF friendly hotels, there are plenty. I stay in a great little place up on the hill for 800 Baht a night and the people there are as cool as you like.
In summary: Pattaya for a mad weekend of serious bad behaviour. Phuket for a mellow week or so and a few cheeky babes.
Good luck.

That's it![/QUOTE]Was in Phuket August/05 and agree totally with your post. Special if you ring the bell at the beer-bars, wich means one drink for every one, it is expensive. Usually i have paid between 1500-4000 Baht / per night bill at beer-bars (but I usually have not to pay barfine with that bill).
When I changed girl it happens that i get a phone call in the hotel, girls from night before asking me to come back to their bar.
I found out that most girls from beer-bar go at 2 a.m. closing hour, to tai-pan disco, where you can pick them up without the hassle at beer-bar.
Tiger a gogo was very nice, the girls are not so pushing for drinks.
Pattaya is alright for mongers and has some nice hotels. The majority of males people going to this city want an economical monger holiday by the beach with a large quanity of girls. I never used the beach area for good reason, but that was not my primary purpose for going to this destination.
Anyone whose goals are different than above should go to Phuket for the holiday. IMHO
Phuket and Pattaya, very different places, comparison is quite difficult, it just all depends on what you are after.
In Phuket you can have the whole package, at a slightly dearer price, beach, sea, chill out, nightlife and so forth.
But if you are a bit choosy, and you do get choosy after a while in these places, the variety of girls and any kind of entertainments Pattaya can offer is in my opinion unheard of anywhere else in the globe and prices are definitely competitive.
All in all, though, the kind of life you have in Pattaya is far from relaxing and you don’t have any motivation whatsoever to get up at a decent hour to go to the sea because there simply is no sea as we know it, and most likely the night before you were not able to get home at a decent hour either because it’s just so much fun to have a ball in this place. Phuket for me still remains the pearl of the Andaman and probably the best compromise.
Can anyone recommend any good girl-friendly hotels / bungalows / guesthouses in Patong? I remember paying about 300-400 baht per night in Koh Samui. I'd like to pay around that in Patong, if possible. I'll be in town in about two weeks (rainy season).
[QUOTE=Alistair]Phuket and Pattaya, very different places, comparison is quite difficult, it just all depends on what you are after.

Pattaya is an Adult Disneyland. Simple as that. Bars everywhere and girls in all ages and sexes. Shoddy beach but hotels have a working swimmingpool. It is very simple to score a pretty plaything but I must be rather useless at it. A much higher percentage of the girls in Pattaya were starfishes compared to Phuket.
Phuket is a much nicer place to spend an vacation. Beaches is better and nicer diving sites. There is plenty of P4P here too but a bit more expensive. And not that many starfishes, IMHO. The scene isn't as advanced as Pattaya so if you are into serious mongreling, looking for more advance experiences, pick Pattaya.
See Phuket as a nice place to spice up the vacation with some nice beerbars, some P4P. If the main reason for visiting is slick, slippery thai poon, then select Pattaya.
During my 15 trips to LOS, I have found that I get the quantity I want in Pattaya, but the quality I did get in Phuket. But times are changing.

Although that is a bit on the cheap side for phuket you may get close in some areas of Patong. I can recommend the Siam Guest House in Soi San Sabai (adjacent to junction with Soi Bangla) Thai run by a great guy called Tuy. Totally girl friendly, a back room will cost about 4-500 and a good front room about 6-800.
PM me if you want his phone number or email.
I just got back from Thailand a couple of weeks ago.
I went to both Pattaya (twice) and Phuket (Patong).
I noticed no price difference at all between the two.
Maybe it's because it's low season post-tsunami but I paid about 700 baht per day for a nice (guest friendly) hotel with air con, sat tv and a swimming pool in both places and I never paid a girl more than 1000 baht for all night and most of the next afternoon.
Prices were always agreed in advance.
One or two asked for more (1500-2000) but they were just being greedy and, as there was so much choice, there was no reason for me to agree to anything more than 1000.
I paid 600-700 if it was short time.
The difference is that Pattaya is more hustle and bustle than Patong and is more spread out geographically with more choice but not necessarily more quality.
As the ratio of customers to girls was so favourable for me in Patong I didn't pay bar fines.
I just drank with the girls until 2am and then, when the bar closed, arranged to meet them either at Tiger disco (before going to my place) or just to come to meet me at my hotel.
Had a great time in both places but I can imagine high season might be more packed and not so relaxing.
Hi, I'm trying to find a nice place near Patong Beach for early November, in the $50 - $75/night range. I'm thinking about Thara Patong, the Burasari, and the Banthai Beach Resort. I can't find any girl-friendliness info on these, or any other places. And I'm finding that most of the info I can find about Patong hotels in general is somewhat obsolete post-Tsunami. I'd appreciate any info.

Cost at height of season is 1500 bahts i think- good site for Phuket hotels with reviews is [url]www.sawadee.com[/url]
I am looking for a good hotel (4 or 5 star -- maybe 3) that is close to the beach and walking distance to Soi Bangla. The hotel must allow guests. I like to stay in suites or large deluxe rooms.
I cannot remember, how much is the taxi fare from the airport to Patong?
Thanks in advance

I stayed at the Banthai Beach Resort in June 2004, NOT girl friendly, 500 baht joiner fee and security guards everywhere, no chance of smuggling a girl in. Apart from that it is quite a nice hotel, good location, 5 mintes from Bangla Road.
Thanks for the update on prices and the Interesting tip about avoiding barfines Rolledup! I'm going to Thailand for first time ever, leaving a week from now. Planning to go to Bangkok, Phuket and probably Pattaya too. Looking forward to it! :-)
[QUOTE=Rolledup]I just got back from Thailand a couple of weeks ago.
I went to both Pattaya (twice) and Phuket (Patong).
I noticed no price difference at all between the two.
Maybe it's because it's low season post-tsunami but I paid about 700 baht per day for a nice (guest friendly) hotel with air con, sat tv and a swimming pool in both places and I never paid a girl more than 1000 baht for all night and most of the next afternoon.
Prices were always agreed in advance.
One or two asked for more (1500-2000) but they were just being greedy and, as there was so much choice, there was no reason for me to agree to anything more than 1000.
I paid 600-700 if it was short time.
The difference is that Pattaya is more hustle and bustle than Patong and is more spread out geographically with more choice but not necessarily more quality.

Hi Rolledup,
Can you provide the name of the Patong hotel (and location) you stayed in.
I will be there next month and am keen to use a hotel that does not charge extra if you bring a girl or two back. Some day I might take three different girls at different times, so the charges rack up if the hotel charges joiner fee.
Thanks
Nobbin.
My experience booking a room is that the rates in November are at least double what they are through October, and there are far fewer vacancies in November on as well. It would be easy to find a nice place in October for under 1000 Baht per night, all inclusive in good locations. In November, all the nice places in Patong are at least 1600 Baht, with most above 2000 a night. In any case, the place I booked was the Deevana Patong Resort. I could not find any girl-friendliness info about it. The only place I KNEW to be girl-friendly was the Jintana, and I was looking for something more upscale than that.
Hopefully, the Deevana is Girl-friendly, because otherwise, it appears quite nice for around $50-60 night in high season in November.
hope this helps fellow members travelling to phuket.

I am new to forum, but not t Asia and Thailand. Hope I can help with my latest experience. Just finishing a wonderful two weeks at Summer Breeze Hotel in Patong. It is my 10th stay there over the past five years. It is very clean, inexpensive, GF, and has a super staff. Also important to me, has room safe. It is only about 250 yards from hotel to middle of Soi Bangla. Easy walk even when quite incoherent. Night man is terrific (Somsak), and can always sort things out for you. Am already booking another trip to Summer Breeze in March. For me, the only place to stay.
Okay, so I'm staying in Patong at the moment. Gorgeous, it has rained only once in the past week. Anyway, I'm staying in a VERY cheap guesthouse here, 2 blocks fromt the beach. Fan room, rather small, 250 baht per night. A few nights ago a snagged a hot little bargirl and took her back home, and the desk lady came out and asked her for her ID. I've never seen nor heard of this practice. It was about 4 am, we were extremely quiet, so I've no clue how she even knew we were walking in.
Last night, I chatted up a different girl, took her out for some drinking and dancing, and afterwards went to my place. She is not a working girl - just a lovely Thai lady who happens to be really great in bed. Anyway, the same thing happens - the lady asks for her ID card, and my lady friend was quite annoyed at this.
I've stayed at many a guesthouse in Patong and Samui, and this is the first I've heard of this. Why the hell do they take the girl's ID card??
For your protection.
They probably have had complaints of things being stolen and use the ID as insurance and protection for hotel/guesthouse guests.

This is for YOUR protection, your guest is much less likely to be tempted to pinch anything from you if she knows hotel has her ID. All bar girls are used to giving up theie ID's. It is not meant as an insult...just a fact of life.
Okay, good to know. It's just strange because I've never had the desk ask for her ID, and the girl was a bit annoyed (she was not a bar girl or any kind of "working girl").
On another note, the going rate in Patong at the moment for bargirls are 1000 for ST, 1500-2000 for LT. Barfines are 200. And my haggling hasn't seemed to work to bring the price down, yet. I don't remember it being this expensive last year when I was here around August. But I guess the girls are hurting for customers, thus they will charge more. I thought it would be the opposite.
Thanks for the list Craig Less. Unfortunately, all of those places are basically inexpensive guest houses. Nothing wrong with that, but I was looking for something like a 4* full service moderately luxurious place. I've already booked the Deevana Patong, so I will have to take my chances with that, unless I get more info.
Deevana not GF hotel.
Charge 500 baht.
Also quite a long way from Soi Bangla. If I were you, I would book only for one night and then look around.
Also, not that great of a hotel.
Thanks, Hah Baht
That sucks. 500 is not too bad for an overnight, but I was hoping that the Spa Wing, at least, was pretty nice from the photos.

Well, I'm still here. Phuket. Extended my trip again, what a surprize. Anyway, Nov. prices start high season , but can still get room for under 25 US. website [url]www.summerbreezehotel.com[/url] . Try that, and if full, you can walk in many places on Soi San Sabai. Should still be plenty available in Nov.

Although I will be there for the "important things at nite" , still wish to be a standard tourist during the day time(at least for a day or two. Really for taking pictures so I could say to everyone back home-this is what I "really did"in Phuket. The other shit only U guys will know when I report back after my trip there). Any thoughts on what I should see besides the lying on the beach and swim? Heard of those famous places such as "The Beach". Movie by that name starring Dicaprio. Never saw the movie as I heard its a movie women likes. and "James Bond Isle? Heard of this too but dont know if its near Patong beach and is Phuket town worth a visit?
Many things to do in Phuket during day. All the beaches are great on Phuket itself, or you can take day trips to Phi Phi Island or James Bond Island or Krabi. Many paces to go and quite cheap. Well worth the money. Thats the main reason why I like Phuket over Pattaya. In Pattaya, only one thing to do. That one thing is great, but I still like to have options and break up my day a little. All in all, if there is a paradise, I think it is Phuket.
Phantomtiger2,
Phuket is a wonderful place and ideal for motorbike trips. Get a descent map of that Province and enjoy, but please stay away from the big bikes, a Honda Dream at B100-150 a day is good enough. I always rent mine in Phuket town and never had any trouble at all.
James bond Island is very touristy because it is BEAUTIFUL! Every travel-agent has trips to JBI - don't miss out! Panwa peninsula, in the SE of Phuket, is nice and quiet, has some wonderful beaches, a silly viewpoint, creeks and lots of small, almost empty, roads. Laem Prompthep is the 'romantic sunse place to be' if you want to really make an impression on your (bar)girl.
And eventho Phuket is the richest of Thailands provinces, Phuket town still has hotelrooms from B200...

Easy to get in US at any AAA.
No license fine. 300 baht. No helmut fine, 300 baht.
Phantomtiger,
Tho I've been stopped by Phuket's finest on a couple of occasions, they never asked me for a license. Then again, I only ride the Honda Dreams.
My insurance however, will not pay anything beyond 'life-saving' treatment if I have an accident because I don't have a motorlicense.
I would like to suggest an additional consideration to Freelers post. A small bike yes. But I prefer a small dirt bike. It makes some of those side roads (down to beaches) quite a bit eaiser. Absolutely no reason for the big "rice rockets" you see some guys on. Think they're compensating for some other shortcoming ?
I've never been stopped, but I do go through the minor hassle of getting an international licsense before leaving.

Banana is the best disco I've seen in patong so far. Its decent and clean compared to Crocodile and Tiger. Music is good too. Good place for foreigners to hang out and get some decent looking girls :)
I didnt see much mention on Phuket town. I will (most likely)be staying in patong beach but will like to see Phuket town also.
1) What baht buses go there and what should it cost?
2) Where do they drop U off in Phuket town(ex: next to tourist info center or what street, next to Hotel X?
3) As I understand action should be cheaper here, any recommended massage places--ie; soapy kind
4) Any local call houses?
Please list current prices if possible. Cheers.

Is there any action available clost to Laguna Phuket? Want to avoid a 30min taxi ride back and forth when I want to find some action.

Addition to the motorcycle discussion. I have DAN (Divers Alert Network) Insurance. Their premium coverage (about $100 a year) includes coverage for non-diving emergencies, including air evacuation to your home country.
Food for thought.

[/QUOTE]Last year, a local Thai friend of mine in Kata took me to Grand MP in Phuket Town. Don't know the exact location, but I remember that it was near Robinson Dept Store. There is a fishbowl, but also sideliners. Myfriend mentioned to the papasan that I was from America, so I think I was charged a bit more. I picked their top-of-the-line bowl lady. Local Phuket girl with nice smile and long black hair. Good soapy service and no rushing. My notes states 2K, and it may have included tips. I also ended up going out with her to local dance clubs after the MP closed.
BTW, my friend also took me to another MP next to a big hotel, so just look around hotels.

Other than that, its the nightly journey to Patong!
Hi,
I'm posting in this forum the first time after using you folks as information source quite a while. And my first posting is a simple question; -) But I promise that I will spend some time during (definetly after) my three weeks in phuket to give some detailed updates!
I read the disussion regarding girl friendy hotels. Great stuff - the kind of travel guide you really need (thanks to Craig Less, Hah Baht, Member 1757 and all the others). Maybe I will stay at the summerbreeze for a while - if they are not full end of november to the first week of december.
But I don´t want to live in a zoo for the whole three weeks. I prefer to have it quite and lazy "at home" and to enter the scene just at night. That´s how I did it on Samui three times and I want to continue in this way. Also, honestly, I want to dive during the daytime (also my cover story.).
So I am looking for a cheap girl friendy guest house around patong - from the map and what I know about phuket places like karon, kata or bang tao should suit me - any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. : Maybe the wrong thread, bur here my good experience in Samui. I stayed in Bophut Beach at the Smile House. Bophut is still (was last yeas in Feb) quite - maybe because the beach isn´t that spectacular - and about 20 min with the motorbike to chaweng. Never had problems with girls beeing to far to go and never had problems in Smile House. But I always was decent because the hotel is mainly occupied by couples or families - probably no place for orgies in the pool. Prices had been 1. 000 including breakfast for a clean bungalow.
Most of the hotels in the Patong area are quiet. You can relax and have a quiet day or evening, then venture into the nightlife of Bangla. Kata, Karon, and Bang Tao are much more quiet and a long ride....at least 200-300 baht each way every time you want to go to Bangla. It all depends on your own particular priorities. For me. Definately Patong.
[QUOTE=Nutzer]Hi,

As with Nutzer, I am also looking for cheaper places for accommodations, but after reading all the post I will be staying only in Patong beach. As it will be high season and high rates when I arrive in Mid Nov, any suggestions :name of guesthouses or cheaper hotels along with email address for advance booking will be appreciated. Dont know if it is possible for 500b or under during this time of year (NOV).
The only things I require is that the place be guest friendly and have a private bathroom (not shared like in backpacker dorms).
Thanks all.
Real tough to find anything decent for 500 baht during. Maybe Touch Villa at the end of Soi C&N. Not a bad spot. Quite reasonable. I have used it as short time hotel. Slightly higher in price are the hotel and guest houses on Soi San Sabai. Great location, close to Bangla and quiet.

Hi Bro Hah Baht,
1)Need to know how far Soi C&N is from Bangla?--cant seem to find it on these tourist maps. If walking distance-then how far?
2)Do you advise just showing up on arrival and checking the hotels and guest houses on Soi San Sabai, knowing its high season, dont want to be shut out.
Also, what should be the price range for room with a/c around this area in Nov?
Thanks
HI ,
I'm off here next year and was just wondering whats the scence here is like. Is it basically centred around the discos, or is it a mixture of the bar and disco scene.
does Phuket have gogos as well as soapys?
thanks
Yes. Phuket has both. I went there myself some years ago and it should be no
different now. However price of soapy in Pearl Hotel is quite pricey.

Thanks[/QUOTE]This time of year starting to get quite busy...could get room if you just show up, however, always better to book in advance. Would be lucky to get anything decent under 1000 baht starting Nov., and higher in Dec. I'd say 800 to 1500 would be a good range right now, but not many in 800 range.
Hi guys,
I will be doing my first trip to Phuket soon, for some diving and adventure. Would prefer to stay at a bit quieter beach w/out much hassle, any recommendation? Also for hotels/apartments? Also can anyone recommend a good diving shop? Please to hear yours.
FYI, The Deevana Patong Resort is a moderately upscale hotel ($35-60/night nett) that is not Guest unfriendly. I had been told that they charged a joiner fee, but I was never charged any. I was asked my room number by the security guard, and the lady had to leave her ID, but I was never charged a joiner fee of any kind. I brought 8 ladies back, 4 during daytime, 4 at night) Daytime, we were not even stopped, at night, the room number and ID check happened at the guard's stand, but no charges.
As for the rest of my review, the place is quite beautiful, and has several excellent swimming pools and nice rooms with fridge (but no in-room safe). The breakfast spread was good. My only gripe was it was a 1/2 KM from the beach, (which is how they avoided any Tsunami damage) and not within walking distance to too many decent restaurants. It's around 1 KM north of Bangla Road, which is where most of Patong's action is, but I pretty much skipped Bangla Rd, as there are a string of 4 girly bars on the street leading to the Deevana Patong, and I obtained all of my companionship in these bars. Going rate was 200 Baht Barfine, and 1000 ST or 1500-2000 LT. Several nice cuties there, so I didn't bother too much with the rip-off taxis who want 100 Baht to go 1KM to Bangla Rd at night.
Hi,
I'll be in Phuket from 16-20 Nov.
I want to get hold off an aircon room with attached bath not too far from action for <1000 bahts.
Any lodges /hotels you guys know of ?
Already tried summerblanca, orchid, expat and siam lodge all dont have rooms :(
Please help bros.
Also , I m kinna newbie, Any bro around there at that time.
Willing to show me around?
Thx in advance :)
A polite request to the verterans out there.
What decent (but not overpriced. Ok, downright economical) hotel is there in Patong Beach that has either DSL/Broadband connection in some of it's rooms, or access to decent Wifi connections.
Its amazing why many of them don't list it on any of their websites.
Please advise. I am headed there mid-Nov. (darn soon!)
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys,

When you walk the streets of Phuket, all the time you pass ladies in front of a massage parlor.
The ladies call ,,Helo! Massage?''
What do they charge and what do you get?
Thnx
Hello mopmop - Good questions for sure. I am in Phuket at the moment and there is certainly no shortage of massage places. The girls stand out in front and call to you like sirens. They are so cute when trying to lure you into their clutches. Just keep in mind it is all about the baht and you will do ok.
Personally I have found that about a third are just there to give a good massage, and they really take such things seriously in their culture. A good tip for this legit treatment seems to be 200 - 300B. Try getting a high quality 2 hour massage for 500B (US$12.50) anywhere else in the world. If you find it, please post as I will be all over it.
Another third will only give you a good handshake, sort of on-the-sly since they probably don't want to share their windfall with the management. The price for this pleasure is usually 500B (another $12.50). IMHO this is a great value from every perspective, health, sex, fun chatter, etc.
And the remaining third is obviously anything goes. For a certain good time there is Christines in Patong Beach, where I intend to explore this afternoon, at what I believe to be @2000B ($50). Nice looking place from the outside and mostly reported well on this site.
Only thing I am having trouble with on this trip (my second in a year) is the heat and humidity. It is stifling to this wimpy California boy. It is like being in Houston, 95% humidity and 95 degrees.
Sorry to be whiner, but it is a definite showstopper to me if the massage is in a non-AC room. Junior goes on a sit down strike in these conditions. Just a word to the wise.
Still nothing like a sweet young Thai girl giving a good rubbing and tugging. Man, to just be able to pack one up in my suitcase and take her home for a few months would be cool.......ldp
are these joints soapy or the normal massage?
Thanks a lot for extensive info.

2. ST w/wo BF (1000B +)
3. christine soapy (1700b/2050b/2500b) + (500b tip)
4. agogo show + babe (500 BF sometimes cover)
5. FL day ST (1000b)
6. Entrance for beer bar(if any), agogo,disco and the BF at each. (300BF)
Those are pretty average prices. You will have some girls ask for 5000b ST, and some will ST for 500b. your buying a used car, "dicker", but don't be cheap. Beer is about 50b, lady drinks 150b, coke 100b, there are specials all over town, so try and find your price. Or go to the disco and maybe find a freebe.
Several years ago I read about a hotel in Phuket town that had working girls on one of the floors. You would walk the halls and you could see the girls sitting in their rooms and you would then pick one out. I remember the hotel was supposedly a very low end hotel and the girls were very cheap. It was definitely there to serve the locals. The hotel may have been called Central Hotel but I am not sure.
Does anybody know anything about this hotel?
Allover,
Nope, it's not Central Hotel but I can't remember the name either...
Where is it? Coming from the busstation pass the Post & Telephone office, walking towards the 'river', cross the bridge to the traffic lights and turn right. The hotel is the second or third building on your right. However, you may want to cross the street first to recognize the building as a hotel.
From OnOn Hotel, walk towards the Postoffice, at the traffic lights turn left, the hotel is on the other side of the road.
The hotel only has a Thai name.
Room: B200
ST: B300-500
LT: who cares?

I'm sure Fast edie 48 and Freeler are talking about the same place. I went to get a soapy in the town center and a friend went looking for and found this place. He said it was cheap and if you looked hard, you could find someone decent. He took me to the front lobby. I walked in, turned around, and walked out. I thought it was too low end for me. Since I'm going back to Phuket I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on a good place.

Don't forget that the girls outside, the really adorable girls probably won't be the one giving the massage. Sometimes they are the bait.. trying to lure you into their establishment where the sweet 20yo, big titted cutie turns you over to the 30+yo professional who haven't had a customer yet. OK, you will get better service then. But always make shure WHO you will receive IT from *lol*

[QUOTE=SE Asia Joe]Last time I was in Phuket, some local friends of mine took me to the City Hotel downtown Phuket, and it was a real eye opener!
Took me up to the 4/F and walked down the long corridor of the floor and saw that each of the rooms had a couple/three really stunning looking girls inside - with the door wide open. Led me to the end of the corridor into a suite and then all these girlds started streaming in - and I had to choose!! And I mean, how does one chose between love goddesses and beauty queens - literally! I found out that this 'establishment' is patronized by all the richest businessmen and high ranking political / military / police / government etc officials in Thailand. The deal is Baht 3,000 if you just go upstairs with one of them or Bht4,000 if you took one out - which I did. We then proceeded to a jazz bar - suppossedly the "hottest' place in Phuket for the locals and proceeded to party with my friends and our newly found "friends" - with all the male eyes staring at us - especially these gorgeous girls! And I mean these girls of ours even satisfied our chinese Friend who's had extensive mongering experience with the best girls in the whole of Asia! It was great in that I knew that I had the best looking gal in the joint, and let her loose to do whatever she wanted to do - knowing full well that I will "HAVE" her later on! And HAD her I of course did - and she was superb - truly deserving of the accolades that my friends promised when they took me to City Hotel.
Spent the whole night with her doing everything possible and then sent her off in the morning with an extra Baht800 taxi fare! What a night to remember![/QUOTE]
SE Asia Joe,
The place I looked at briefly was quite a dump so I'm guessing it was not the hotel you mention in your report. Now that you mention it I remember reading your report some time ago. At the time you posted it I hadn't planned on visiting Phuket so I didn't bother keeping that info. The setup there sounds awesome. As I get older I find myself splurging once during a trip if I can find some top notch (model quality) women.
Are there still beautiful, top dollar women still at this hotel? Can we go there without a local? Somebody needs to check this place out again.
Thanks for reposting this information.
[QUOTE=Sajer Guy]Is there any action available clost to Laguna Phuket? Want to avoid a 30min taxi ride back and forth when I want to find some action.
Sajer[/QUOTE]I stayed in lagunas last year and its a great place however a long cab ride to patong where the action is. However the first bars and shops you come to outside the complex there is a great massage place with all the trimmings. you cant miss it as they will beckon in! However, probably better and cheaper to be a bit nearer patong. In saying that laguna is girl friendly as long as you have one of the rooms overlooking the lagoon which means you dont have to pass through reception at night! bear in mind though if your friend stays the night, you will have 'the walk of shame' with her in the morning to get her a 'hotel taxi' to wherever she lives!
[QUOTE=Phantomtiger2]I didnt see much mention on Phuket town. I will (most likely)be staying in patong beach but will like to see Phuket town also.
1) What baht buses go there and what should it cost?
2) Where do they drop U off in Phuket town(ex: next to tourist info center or what street, next to Hotel X?
3) As I understand action should be cheaper here, any recommended massage places--ie; soapy kind
4) Any local call houses?
Please list current prices if possible. Cheers.[/QUOTE]Check out the big karaoke bar in Phuket town. Private rooms where you select the girls to 'sing' with you. Quite pricey but the girls are amazing! Far cheaper to have an hour 'singing' and then get phone numbers of the ones you like for another night.
ALLOVER - not quite sure if that place still there/offering the same service. Its been over a year since....
Talking to one of my mongering buddies, he told me that the "latest" place in Phuket for 'higher' class mongering is a sort of entertainment complex - i.e. K-OK, show production, nightclub etc - named something like "Fantasia" (Not to be confused with that amusement park "Fantasea" in Kamala). Supposedly where the local Phuket Big Wigs go to these days - as opposed to regular 'Farang' destinations offering mostly darker skinned Issan girls like Patong.
Anybody can give us more info on this Fantasia?

[quote=dantheman]wher about is chrisitins - the soapy joint, in phuket? is it far from the burasari resort?
tahnaks[/quote]its on rthe song roi [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134][CodeWord134][/url] road - mazbee its alreadzy the 200 year road. if yoa are on bangla an d go inside the town, go to the big crossing with the traffic light and then turn right. maybe 1 km or so you will find a big pink buidling. thats chrsitines.
from your resort walk away from the beach. the first major street you come to will be [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134][CodeWord134][/url] road, turn left. it's about a 10 min walk on the left side of the street, (the same side as the beach). it is pink building, you can't miss it. but if you do, just ask anyone, they will point you in the correct direction. they say they open at 1:00, but some of the girls straggle in after that, so go after 2:00. there are more that come in around at 5:00, so judge accordingly.
there should be three prices, but sometimes early in the day there are only 2.
have fun
Hello all,
The Phuket boards are awfully quiet- I'm out there soon- any news from anyone out there?!
Yes, I know it's a frequently asked question, but I've just scrolled through the 5 or 10 most recent pages and not seeing any updated info, so hopefully you won't mind my asking again.
Looking for a girlfriendly place in Patong for four nights and don't mind paying in the range of US$100-$150 per night. Any recommendations?
If you do not get an answer here, there are a couple of Phuket boards that you might want to try. Be sure that you contact the hotel to check on the guest policy, they change from manager to manager.
[QUOTE=Gweilo]Yes, I know it's a frequently asked question, but I've just scrolled through the 5 or 10 most recent pages and not seeing any updated info, so hopefully you won't mind my asking again.
Looking for a girlfriendly place in Patong for four nights and don't mind paying in the range of US$100-$150 per night. Any recommendations?[/QUOTE]Hi Gweilo,
To be honest, paying that much for a hotel might be a problem. Especially the more upscale hotels (in my impresion only these) are not girl friendly or require a joiner fee which can be the same amount than you pay for the room yourself. I can understand that policy - the upscale hotels are loking for tourists, family and couples who want to get sure not to make vacation in a "brothel". So: the cheaper the hotel the less the probability they are not girl friendly. Most of the midscale hotels in Patong live from male tourists like us and do not charge extra for one or two girls you bring back.
I stayed at the summerbreeze in soi saen sabai all the three weeks, allthough my standard room(30$ per night) was not that good. Especially the aircon was to noisy...But I stayed there because I was to lazy to check around and the weather was to bad (still rainy season - shit: that´s not normal end of November). So I did not need a bungalow at the beach or something. And I soon realized that I was spending too much money for the nightlive so the 10$ I could save per night would not be that relevant :-) The summerbreeze has also bigger and better rooms, an american owner (Bill, somewhat in the fifties) and a very good night manager! I recommend you check the website (www. summerbreezehotel.com) and/or call them (ask for bill). Especially if you stay just for 4 days this place will be o.k. for you. It´s a 5 minutes walk to all the sois on bangla road with the beers bars, agogos and discotheques. 200 m away is the Tai Pan, which is closing around 4 in the night and all the ladies that could not get a custonmer untill then are meeting there: definetly the easiest and cheapest way to find a fuck...(500 baht ST and 1.00 LT - nice loking girls in tge bars sometimes double their prices - which is also o.k. in my impression)
Girlfriendly Hotel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patong Villa - [url]www.patongvilla.com[/url] - is a very nice place right in the middle of the action, 100 meters from Bangla Road and Beach. It is definitely girlfriendly. Stay there since years and always enjoyed it. Book a ground floor bungalow with direct access to the pool and you'll have a great stay I'm sure. Peak Season is about 2500-3000 baht. I pay 2700 with check in next december 24 (YEAH !). No need to walk through reception anyway if you book a bungalow, so no Walk of Shame in the morning. You can send your gal away, no matter what time of the day, nobody will notice. At night, a very friendly security guard is on duty for your own protection but my TG's never had to leave her ID unless I would be a bit suspicious and request him to do so.
Have fun !
OK - my first time in Phuket and I followed the recommendations of my wealthy thai friend... We stayed at the highest hotel on the beach (Avantika). Certainly the best place on the beach, very nice bar, very beautiful pool - rooms are fantastic.
Now for the bad: expensive - more or less like the cost of a hotel in NYC. I didn't really know the difference as I was following my friend's advice and never even looked around. BUT with this said - if you want luxury - highly recommend.
Oh - for mongers, they check IDs (for your benefit really) and they do charge a fee for a girl. I love Phuket though!
Highly recommend this club but make sure you move fast as the pretty ones get picked up pretty quickly. As most know - in Phuket, when you get one, you get them for the night. First night was with one called Pimmy. Great fun, excellent english which allows you to get to know them - probably too well. BUT fortunately the next day she saw a "money man" who pays her 4,000 bht per night. She was dying to get rid of me as he had a bit of jealousy in him and asked her if she wanted to goto bangkok that afternoon with him. I mean come on - isn't that taboo to take another guy's girl! Just reinforced that the reason you pay them is to leave!
I can attest with Asianatic that the Patong Villa is decent and not a "dive". However, my fav is next door, only a half block from Bangla, Safari Beach Hotel, +66-763-411-714, [url]www.safaribeachhotel.com[/url]. No hassle management. High season 2600 Baht, Low season 1100 Baht for a very nice room, pool and beautiful grounds. Low key and no "big resort" feel. Located behind the Savoy Seafood Restaurant. Breakfast included across the street at their cafe right on the beach. For the money, it doesn't get better.

One thing that I observed in Patong Beach is that the good-looking girls chose their men, not vice versa.
Crazy world!
So if you are ugly better go to Pattaya. By the way I was lucky.

I stayed at the My Friend Bungalow across from Karon beach for a week in oct 2004. (Yea I got out with only a few weeks to spare) And I was wondering if the place is still up and running. I'm headed back in January and i Can't get them to answer my e-mails. Did they change the name?
Here are some pics of the room at the My Friend Bungalow. It costs 700bt for 2 people per night and most definately GF. Note the view from the balcony. I walked across the street to the beach to snap the sunset pic. Note the leather loveseat, satelite tv, new A/C and Frig. This is the 3rd floor.
It dosn't cost muck to take a Songtaow over the hill to Patong and much more laid back and QUIET. Walk out of the hotel, turn right walk 250' to the round a bout,take a right and up the street 150' feet to the beer bars. Their #'s are in the LP. They do not return e-mail. I am going to try calling them in a few hours
Have to take my Colombian Novia, blow her mind to see a place that cost less then Colombia! Tailored made shirts $11.50 U.S. Got to love that shit!

KARON: -- Chalong Police are on the lookout for a bar hostess named “Poo” who broke the heart of a Swedish tourist – then added injury to insult by smashing a beer bottle over his head on New Year’s Eve.
Report of the incident was made by the victim not long after the attack, which occurred at around 1:30 am on January 1.
Swede Peter Kawe, 43, told police that he came to Phuket as a tourist late last year and had rented an apartment in Karon. He fell deeply in love with “Poo” – real name not reported – with the understanding that she was single and childless, he told police.
As patrons of the Seven Beer Bar celebrated the arrival of 2006, one of Poo’s friends told the Swede that not only was the object of his affection already married – but that she also had a child to support.
When the Swede confronted Poo to ask if this was true, she smashed a beer bottle over his head and hurled the broken remains at him, he said.
Covered with his own blood, the Swede continued to demand an explanation from Poo about why she had lied to him.
He only left the bar after Poo chased him out with a fruit knife, trying to stab him, he told police.
Pol Lt Col Anek Mongkol of the Chalong Police Station told the Gazette that if Poo could be found she would be arrested and charged with assault.

I am heading to Phuket in February and am wondering where the best places to go are this season. I have not been to Thailand for 18 years so I am looking forward to this trip. Hoping I can get some good info off this site to make my trip go smooth. I will be diving most days so I don't want to stay out until 2:00 AM every night.
Any sugestions out there?

well i guess it has to be patong beach, severely hit by the tsunami, it seems to be getting up to speed slowly but surely. hotel availability i believe is still good. as for places to go, i tend to stay around soi bangla, for fl i like to head to the taipan disco at the end of soi bangla.
Is any good massage parlor in Phuket?
Thanks
I was in Baan Thai (Patong beach on the beach road) a few days ago..... Going back with a girl at midnight I was followed by a guard who knocks at my door violently asking at the talkie walkie for additional guards .... I felt as a robber in an hotel where I am paying 5 000 bahts a night... the guard was asking for an additional 500 bahts for the GUEST... I was forced to go at the desk and to pay the FINE... 500 bahts... I tell them loudly that it will be my LAST VISIT IN BAAN THAI... Furthermore expansive for a poor quality...
Forget these types of ripp off... not very guest friendly.
Kekeke,
ST with Thai lady: B200
ST hotelroom for me and Thai lady: B80
Condoms and lube: B20
Seeing others pay B5000 for a room and B500 guestfee: PRICELESS!
Sorry to hear your experience in this hotel. I have nothing but good things to say about my stay there. I went there in early Sept 05 and got really good deal on room and never had problem bringing girl back. Maybe I was just lucky. Hope next time you find better time there. I am going back middle of Feb but maybe try some place different this time.
What I understand so far from my research.
Taipan seems to be the best place for FL's.
Christines is the only soapy massage in Patong, I hear the quality of girls is not to good.
Rockhard as far as I can tell is the biggist Ago-go with the most girls, party place.
Flash Ago-go has the best looking girls.
Still need to get a grip on what is the best beer bars with the best BG's?
I would be interested in some opinions on this, I'm sure there is as many opinions as beer bars.
I advise members to steer clear of this Hotel. Staff very rude, and tried to charge me 1000bht for a guest after I was told (when I made the booking) there was no guest fee.
Freeler... IMHO two solutions :
- You are so handsome that girls are fucking for almost free with you
- Your girls are so ugly that they cannot ask for more money.
Of course I assume solution 1.... Personaly, with my average level... I fuck for 1000 bahts (Long time in Pattaya) ... 1500/2000 bahts (LT in BKK or Phuket).. you are the KING of Thailand !!!
All,
These are my thoughts having just returned from Phuket a couple of days ago.
I agree that a good place for Freelancers is Tai Pan or Tiger Disco's.
The normal beer bar's are all located in an area around Bang La Rd to the North End of Patong Beach. The quality of ladies varies enourmously. Word of warning ... there are several Lady boys around .... That tall stunning looking girl of your dreams .... might not be !!
As for Prices, I found that they varied enourmously ... it really depends whether a girl likes you. I was working on a cute cute "serving" girl in one of the bars... After a week I had never seen her leave with anyone ... but its Thailand, so you know NOTHING is impossible !!.
After 3 more days I persuaded her and she only wanted dinner and 800B for LT. She was superb the full GFE and more !! Sometimes the long game and not turning up in a bar with a new girl everynight pays off.
Good luck and enjoy

[QUOTE=Poupard2000]I was in Baan Thai (Patong beach on the beach road) a few days ago. Going back with a girl at midnight I was followed by a guard who knocks at my door violently asking at the talkie walkie for additional guards. I felt as a robber in an hotel where I am paying 5 000 bahts a night. The guard was asking for an additional 500 bahts for the GUEST. I was forced to go at the desk and to pay the FINE. 500 bahts. I tell them loudly that it will be my LAST VISIT IN BAAN THAI. Furthermore expansive for a poor quality.
Forget these types of ripp off. Not very guest friendly. [/QUOTE]Hey man, you are right! I had the same bad problem with you last year.
Tell you what. Next time stay at a budget hotel. No extra charge for guess: )believe me.
poupard (pooper:(?),
not to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] you off or anything, but my regular phuket hotel costs b250 and they don't even know what a joiner fee is. in fact, they told a waitress from a nearby restaurant (food b20-40) where my room was when she wasn't sure of the roomnumber. she serviced me free of charge. the next morning the big eared receptionist, a lovely 20 yo with a wedding wish, asked me if i've had fun.
yes, i had:).

quit going to expensive hotels, pay b800 max, but b400 max is better:), and you will see no trouble whatsoever.

All I can say is "WOW"
I just recently got back from Phuket in Nov and compare to your prices, I wuz robbed. I checked on-line everywhere for Nov and the absolute cheapest price I got was at the CNN hotel for 1200b/nite and this was consider a good price as many other places charging over 1800 and 2000b in Nov.
Am I assuming your regular place of stay is in Patong Beach and not Phuket town?
And 200b for the lady, shit--I paid more than that for just the Ladydrinks in Phuket.
Like to know what's the secret to your success as I truly have lots to learn for my next trip back. And at your prices, can truly afford to go back to Phuket for another visit but at the prices I paid, will truly never return there.

Phantom and Bottler (via pm),
The thing to do in Phuket is NOT to stay in Patong (except low season - rooms can be very cheap in low season!) but in Phuket town.
Phuket town is just half an hour away by motorcycle or by bus (no bus after 6PM!).
There's a whole bunch of hotels in Phuket, starting at B200 to 'the sky is the limit'.
No, I'm not going to give you the addresses; I found them myself, so can you.
Like I've said a THOUSAND times: stay away from gogos and bars. Being a non-drinker helps in doing so. Chat up the girls that are on their way to the bar around 1-2 PM. Just ask the same lame dumbass questions they always ask: Pai nai ('where you go') and stuff.
Chat up the gogo girls en route for work around 7PM.
Both bar- and gogogirls will have nearby rooms, so ask where her room is - she'll love to show you!
Chat up the waitress in the B20-40 eatery where you eat.
If your room is half decent, she'd rather stay there than in her own room.
OK, B200 is bottom end, but make it your startingprice, anything from her over B400 should be answered with a firm 'Mei dai' (Cannot!).
Use as many Thai words as you can. Don't listen to the fuckheads who say that first you should learn to speak 'proper Thai'. Nobody ever learned a language by not speaking it.
Bottomline: Be nice and take advantage:D!
BTW Phuket town holds a couple of secrets of its own, search for Man on the Street's Phuket reports and find out about them!
There is one guesthouse in Patong that is super cheap. 250 a night in low season and 300 in high season. Small room, but has a fan, tv, hot water, and a single bed. It's right behind Lamai Inn (or is it Lamai hotel?) Anyway, it's called Kaew Kong Guesthouse. The owner is a real asshole sometimes, especially if you don't pay everyday or in advance, but it's the cheapest I found in Patong.
[QUOTE=SE Asia Joe]Allover - I wrote the flwg report a couple or so years ago. Is this what you're referring to? One thing tho, it certainly was NOT cheap by Phuket standards BUT the quality was absolutely first class[/QUOTE]Guys,
Do you need to be taken by a local or can a farang just walk in? Do you take the main elevator up to 4/F or is the entrance around the side somewhere? I'm a Poseidon fan when 'm in BKK. I want to see how this place compares.
[QUOTE=SE Asia Joe]ALLOVER - not quite sure if that place still there/offering the same service. Its been over a year since.
Talking to one of my mongering buddies, he told me that the "latest" place in Phuket for 'higher' class mongering is a sort of entertainment complex - i.e. K-OK, show production, nightclub etc - named something like "Fantasia" (Not to be confused with that amusement park "Fantasea" in Kamala). Supposedly where the local Phuket Big Wigs go to these days - as opposed to regular 'Farang' destinations offering mostly darker skinned Issan girls like Patong.
Anybody can give us more info on this Fantasia?

Hi Freeler,
Thanks for the post.
I did go to Phuket town and the part about no bus after 6pm was slightly off, last bus back to beach was actually around 5:35pm when I visited. Found out the hard way as I reach bus stop at 5:45 and waited for 20min before an old man told me last bus left already. Then it was negot. with mototaxi for 200 (or 250b)? cant remember which , for ride back to beach.
As I am not familiar as you around Phukettown, I wont even know where to look for the "cheaper" places to stay next time I go there or best places for picking up the gals as you had suggested.
Perhaps a list (locations) of where to start looking would be greatly appreciated as not much current info on Phukettown available. This would be a big time saver as I don't have to start from scratch.
Thanks

Sawadee krab! Pom will go to Phuket on Feb 1~5. Is anyone there .too? Maybe
we could cheong and have fun together. I'd stay in patong and phuket town for two nights respectively. Hope to have someone company playing with mm.
I will be in Patong February 13th to the 23rd. Anyone going to be out there at that time.
This will be my first time to Patong, I was in Pattaya about 18 years ago. I have been reading alot to get caught up. Seems to be almost overwhelming the amount of information out there. Any help in identifing the best clubs, bars, Agogos or pool bars. I will be diving so early nights (midnight or so) will be normal for me.
Thanks

Hi Trans,
The last bus fares for one way that I've paid is about 500bht (in 2004) from Hatyai to Phuket. I am not too sure the significant increases on bus fares thereafter causing by the global increases on fuels.
There will a few stops in between for lunch and coffee breaks for the passengers. The final stop will be at Krabi for 1/2 hours. The entire journeys will tooks your an approximately 8-9 hours, including the short intervals for breaks. This also depending on how clear the traffics flow leading to Phuket town on that time.
hope this information will enlighten your questions pertaining the journey from Hatyai to Phuket.
Papercut.

Just back from Phuket. Best quality girls this year are at Dragon a go go on Soi Dragon- top quality- I heartlily recommend no 61! Avoid no 25- incredibly cute but a bit of a rip off merchant! Tiger and Taipan are the best discos to go- trust me, the place is awash with lovelies this year!
Papercut,
I don't know what bus you were on, are you sure it wasn't a mini van?
The aircon bus from HY-Phuket is about B220!
Look for the buses with orange coloring on the sides, I believe the number is around 420(423? - ***********?). Too bad I can't find my notes...
Compare prices:
Nakhon Sri Tammarat-Krabi(fan)= B 70 (2002)
Krabi-Phuket(fan)= B 65 (2002)
Fan bus from HY would be about the same. Traveltime is about 8 hours.

Does anyone know if guest houses or hotels are full next week in Phi Phi

Following the tsunami I think this time bungalows may not be full.
By the way how many bungalows are left and would it be easy to pick up chcks?

Fantasia in Phuket City is now up and running with singing/dancing shows and lot of pretty girls to entertain you. If you like a girl you can bring her to one of the private karaoke rooms available. This is an upmarket club and expect the prices to be the same. Located at Phang nga road in the old cinema building, between Pearl Bowling and Pink Lady Cafe.

[QUOTE=Coma Boy]Phi Phi is a good place to pick up Farang chicks. It is very easy.[/QUOTE]
They are kind of hard to miss.
Everyone of those bars in the Ton Sai area of Phi Phi (Don) is always full of drunk backpackers (the area where the Reggae Bar is). Not sure what that part of the island is called, but the main touristy/diver/backpacker area in the South of the island.
Just returned from a 10 day trip to Phuket via Bangkok.
Stayed for one night at the C&N hotel, 1090 baht, decent place but noisy with music out the window due to street proximity, so moved to the Aloha Villa a block away. Negotiated 1400 baht per night. I REALLY like this place; not luxurious but clean, great service every day, super air conditioning and good water pressure. Excellent staff, and VERY guest friendly, no guest fees, etc. I went on a three day live-aboard diving trip to the Similan islands and the hotel let me keep most of my luggage in their storage room AND my safety deposit box for NOTHING!!
Girls came mostly from beer bars and some freelancers just strolling along Bangla road or nearby. Most will go for 1000 baht short time; I treat them all very well and usually tip a bit extra for great service. Kept one lady overnight for 1500 baht. Had one three way, 2000 baht for both girls short time.
Tracked down one beer bar girl I met last year and thought we would have a great reunion, as we had kept in touch with emails for the past year, but she seemed a bit cool to me for some strange reason. "You can't go home again."
I really like Phuket....much nicer than Bangkok; the pace seems less frantic and the beaches and diving are superb. The air is clean and fresh and the people are just wonderful.
Thanks to everyone who posts here....your info has been invaluable to me and I hope this info will help someone on the board.
Feel free to PM me with any questions.
Blue skies
Zip Head,
Any more on the day diving. I will be there for 12 days and plan one 2 or 3 day live aboard and would like to do several day trips.
What company did you use?
I used [url]www.Phuket-scuba-club.com;[/url] owner is a guy named Kevan, an ex-pat from South Africa, real nice guy. Here's the reality, though: every dive shop in phuket essentially acts as a "broker" for the dive boats. Anybody can sell you a day of diving and you will end up on a boat that is filled with divers from every dive shop/business in town. There is NO dive shop that has a boat that caters only to its own customers.
So......the thing to do is decide where you want to go, then talk to any dive shop and see who can book you on the dive. Not every boat goes to every dive site every day.
Dive spots I recommend:
Koh Dac Mai
Shark's Point
Anemone Reef
King Cruiser
Some of these dives can be done in one day....in fact, I think I did Koh Dac Mai, shark's Point and King Cruiser on one day most recent trip. I've heard the two dive spots south of Phi Phi island are also good.
I had lousy dives on Ratcha Noi and Ratcha Yai (I think that is what they are called)....not much to see and poor visibility. they are popular, though, so maybe I was there on a bad day.
Any of these dives will be about $60-70 per dive trip, includes the usual tanks, wt belt, weights, snacks and lunch on the boat. If you have to rent gear it will be extra.
Good luck!
Zip Head,
If I'm not mistaken, and I'm not:), Ratcha Yai and Noi better known for fishing... Marlin, dolphinfish, that kind of stuff.
Have you looked at the Similan dive trips? Those might be better suited for you.
Just about every agency everywhere just sells someone else's tickets! Fishing in Phi Phi, boat to Koh Lanta, taxi to airport, et cetera, et cetera.
Zip Head,
Thanks for the dive info. Sounds like you had a good trip.

Most of the best dive is 2-3 day trip to silmilan island or burma banks, many
padi dive operater offer this , shark point and phi phi is a good dive 10 year
ago but too many diver now and the reef is not as good as used to be .
Same go for fishing all bit game is fish out on local water , you need to go far
to silmilan area for good fishing and now is a very good time to go .
fast eddie 48
Fast Eddie.....apparently you don't read very well.
Yes, the best diving is in the Similan islands and the Burma bank on the live-aboards. The question posed to me was for info on the DAY TRIPS available in the Phuket area.
The Similan Islands are FANTASTIC diving, second only in my experience to Palau, in the western Pacific. They should truly be done on a live-aboard boat, as I did recently.
Hope this clears everything up.
Zip Head,
I guess both Eddie and myself mentioned Similam because there are no full proof one day diving trips off Phuket.
So, everybody was right.
Great:)!
Can anyone tell me the situation on Phi Phi? Has it been rebuilt since the Tsunami? I was in Phuket in April 05 and everyone said don't bother going there because it was still a mess.
I really liked it when I was there in 03.

I really liked it when I was there in 03.[/QUOTE]Yup, if someone could tell us about phi phi. I think it's going better and better and some bungalows has been build back but I am not sure (not so easy to find any informations). Are the new bungalows built near the sea?
Every information would be great. Thanks!
Nocbj4me,
When people tell you to go or not go somewhere, it is usually because they have an interest in you going or not going....
You can always book a daytour, either from Phuket, or the slightly cheaper route from Krabi.
Krabi-PP-Phuket is a posibility too. Most of these tickets are valid for more than one days aswell, so no problem if you want to stay on PP.
there a lots of day boats to the usual sites. i've gone out with lots of operators and find the nicest boat is with sea bee's. many operators load each others boats daily etc. i have no need for coaching and have probably more training and expericence than most of the people in phuket. i'm real hard judge of the lil scuba heros who work for nothing and want to be lord's of the deep. i find most of the boat people arrogant and looking to place theri comfort and well being ahead of that of their customers. that being said the diving in phuket is ok and seasonal.
my issue is that there are way too many boats on the sites. why do i think they all go to the same places everyday. two places that i think are really nuts are king cruiser and shark point. both open ocean sites where the boats drop off dive teams and then cruise in to do the p/u's. i have always wondered how many people the injure per year. way too many people at too few sites.
people have to remember that thailand is "on fire" in hatching padi instructors. i have found that way too many dive staff on the charters are far too inexperienced for my liking.
for those of you diving with enriched air/nitrox beware that i've never had a full load of 36% as paid for and promised. i would bring my own meter cause the lil stickers on the tanks are not correct. althought for most experieinced divers the group bottom time is way too short so you never get near any ndl's. i seldom use more that half a tank (whilst the dive staff use more and i'm a big guy) they seldom pair groups well.
liveaboards are better diving but fall short on an international scale. you ain't paying for and aggressor or a mike ball trip but be careful as the quality of the dive boats/staff varies greatly and if i'm living aboard i don't want shite habitats.
diving in thailand. forget pattaya as the water is dirty. the andaman sea has lots of good diving. i have been told there are good shore dives but my toes don't like sand.
take a dive monger vacation to thailand, up to you. if you are an afficanato or professional i would say go for it but don't expect it to be like cozumel or png micronesia etc. i keep comming back but not for the scuba diving. i don't like a combo of tank social life.
additionally, there are a number of day trips to the similans. some drive up to kho lak and go by high speed boat. there was an operation that had some hydrofoil boat but i don't know if they still run.
hidden secret. patong side dives. one of my objections to staying in patong and having 12+ hrs elapse between p/u and drop off for 60 min bottom time. however there are 2 tank trips out of patong that are just fine. the new floating pier set up in patong bay is great. a few weeks ago i did a 2 tnk patong trip and was back to my hotel before noon. had my gear carried to the boat from the truck at beach road. shop around as a few have trips. i have found that the shop near to the thara patong all 4 diving has been a good booknig agent.

Summiteer, you are so right...
I was in Phuket in October, and noticed how much the place had changed in the post-Tsunami period.
I'd also add the Banana disco, which was teeming with babes from wall to wall when I was there. Bars seemed to be up and down in their action. Most of the regular places were still busy along Soi Bangala.
As for the Ladyboys, a friend of mine and I called one of them "The Worker". Amazingly, she only tries to bag Japanese guys and always seems to have someone in her arms. Incredible. Sit at the U2 bar and have a couple of Heinekens with the girls (especially one who is half Cambodian/half Thai with a body like Venus) and watch the festivities..
One last note, don't be keen-e-ow with the girls if they're great when you drag em back to the hotels. They can always use the extra cash...

[QUOTE=Summiteer]All,
These are my thoughts having just returned from Phuket a couple of days ago.
I agree that a good place for Freelancers is Tai Pan or Tiger Disco's.
The normal beer bar's are all located in an area around Bang La Rd to the North End of Patong Beach. The quality of ladies varies enourmously. Word of warning ... there are several Lady boys around .... That tall stunning looking girl of your dreams .... might not be !!
As for Prices, I found that they varied enourmously ... it really depends whether a girl likes you. I was working on a cute cute "serving" girl in one of the bars... After a week I had never seen her leave with anyone ... but its Thailand, so you know NOTHING is impossible !!.
After 3 more days I persuaded her and she only wanted dinner and 800B for LT. She was superb the full GFE and more !! Sometimes the long game and not turning up in a bar with a new girl everynight pays off.
Good luck and enjoy

looking forward.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

i did some diving with a company called "South Siam Divers" back in Sept 2004. They had a dive shop in Patpong and provided transportaton to the pier. In my opinion the boats were in great condition and the instruction was inline with all PADI requirements. I do not know if they survived the tsunami but worth looking into.

99% boat diving. The shop won't determine who you dive with as most ***** this about. I like seabee's as they have a nice boat and sell beer for the long ride home. You can e-mail them or ask at any shop. Where are you stay as I can point you in the right direction. If you go to the PADI. COM site there is a place to locate shops and e-mail them. Many, not all, but many shops are on 2nd road near Christins Massage, (Patong only soapy) and another bunch near Soi Sea Pearl/ Thara Patong Hotel and on to the beach near there. I have dove around the world for about 40 years a chose SeaBeas.
I go out almost every trip to Patong. PM meto get a good opertator!
HJ & 777,
Thanks for your imput. I did research Seebeas's as one of the dive shops I would use, thanks for the back up Honolulu. I will do some research on South Siam Diver also, thanks, Pampurs 777.

Lion Killer,
Due to rough sea conditions in the rainy season (July), no trustworthy dive operation will go out to sea...
You might want to change your plans and go muffdiving instead:).

Thanks for the heads up, I will contact the dive operators and see what there opinion is about diving in July. By the way there are only 2 reasons to dive the Philippines and Thailand, thats the combo of scuba diving during the day and muff diving at night.

checked the [QUOTE=Soi ****]I second that for the [url]www.tharapatong.com[/url]. The pool rooms are great for night time action. Hit a vendor for some string bikini's at 500-750 baht. Pick you favorite size and just remember the strings are the quick release. I recmmend rooms 1152- 1157 for night action as they arein the darker section of the pool. You might remmind your neighbors to turn off their balcony lites at night as they tend to draw mosquitos!
The new res person is K. Apai info@tharapatongcom with a ref to that name. Menion no joiner fee for night guests. No Problem. Check out the stayu 4 pay three deal of thses days. 10 min from Bangla but quiet at night, best of both worlds.

This may be a long-shot, but has anyone been to "Sandy Hair" in Karon Beach ([url]http://phuketdir.com/phuketbar/index.htm[/url])?
Any intel will be appreciated!

Yep, that is a policy that has been in place for the 5 years I've been there. The place is now run by the Swiss Belhotel group and has a new sing as the BelHotel Thara Beach Report. I stayed ther last month and the staff if greatly reduced *see note below, services reduced as both the dolfin Bar and Oasis Bar are closed. They are germans and all they have do so far is raise the rates, reduce services (house keeping staff reduced which shows) so no magic in their plan. The person you have com***icateed with has been there less tha six months and I expect is doing what ever to keep his job! I'll be back there for Songrkan and see what I do for June, Aug, Oct. and Nov. which will be 6 visits for me in 2006.
* It is like a killing field...they are all gone. Much fewer staff at breakfast, only one option for a drink at the bar. Alas, I hear many calls out, JIMMY as I pass about Patong. One of my favorite girls who whould sneak into my room after her late shift and sneak out in her uniform carrying a tray in the morning....I've been told that there is a sign in the Employee are of the Cabanas directly acrosss the street) indicating that ex-Thara Patong employees are VERY welcome to apply for a position.
I love the Thara Patong ( what ever name the call it now but it has changed. I have been advise that the new hotel still underconstrution directly across the street, the Pawadee (old crissy) will be on the move to to attract lots of people who don't like the moves of the German Management. I had a look at the web site for this company. I had a business for more that 15 years within the visitor industry in Honolulu. I have seen many hotels change, seems to be a nature of the beast, and I can say that all these big foriegn maqmagement companies do little but raise prices and reduce costs (staff) relying on their large network for marketing. Basically they bleed a hotel for a few years and then move one having made a big profit while leaving the hotel far worse off than when they arrived. Carpet Baggers they be!
Here is a link to a pic of my room area. Lovely

I will be sad to move on after 5 years and over 20 visits but little last forever and if I'm not happy I'll seek other accomodations for my next visit
i have just recieved an e-mail from the deevana patong resort clasrifying there is nojoiner fees for night guest if you book a double room( which does cost as much as a single), so enjoy.

Planning to visit to Phuket mid March. I have already RTFFd but still not sure where to stay. Can you regulars to Phuket guide me or recommend the following.
1. Which is the best part of town to stay in. North, Central or south or…
2. Where are the best locations to pick up STs and LTs
3. My budget is about $50 per night at a girl freindly hotel
4. Is it dry or rainy that part of the month.
5. Is Ko Samui a better alternative (for sightseeing)
many thanks for your help.
Local transportation is expensive in Phuket. You get easily charged 100 THB by a Tuk Tuk for a trip that would cost you 30THB in bangkok in an air-conditionned taxi. So unless you want to hire a motorcycle, it's better to stay near the strategic location for picking up girls: Bangla Road.
Duniawalla,
Phuket is a province, most of it is on the island, Phuket town is the biggest town in that province.
Where do you want to stay?
Phuket town, Kata, Karon, Patong, Rawai, on Panwa peninsula perhaps?
Phuket Island is a great place for sight-seeing.
Mid-March should be dry. But Phuket often sees a shower, even in the dry season.
I am arriving in Bangkok for the first time on February 28th. Can you guys help me and list:
1. five best massage parlors.
2. five best hotels for mongers like me.
3. five best pickup places.
4. Best place to meeting russian prostitutes.
Thanx
Davidep,
You haven't even arrived and are lost already.
FYI This is the Phuket section, a province located some 500 miles from BKK.
Your question should be: "Which plane should I be on tho arrive in Bangkok?"
HI Guys,
Can anyone recommend a Pharmacy in Phuket, Patong Beach, that will sell prescription items such as Cilias and Prozac over the counter, no questions asked and its location?
Thanks Kindly,
Jon

Duni-
i have been to phuket once before and will bet here in april, have done a lot of research ( a good friend just came back from a mongering trip)and here is what i recoomensd-
1) best part to stay if u like a place that is the most happening is patong beach are of course.if your choice is of having a more laid back area which is not so crowded you could try karon or kata.
2) best locations for St & Lt are - bangla road, tiger disco, tai pan and rock hard, only one good MP in patong - chirstine's.
3) girl friendly hotel 1220 B standard room, 1800 B superior room in spa wing - devana patong resort, just ensure you book a double room.
5) ko samui is more rural, less developed and more laid back , lacks the energy phuket has.
have fun

Any surfers out there? I'm thinking about going to Phuket for a few days in mid-March. I'm looking for a location with the best combination of a quiet & relaxed area to stay, easy to reach surfing and, of course, ladies. Looks like Karon and Kata might be surfable -- any good advice?
Thanks much.
Thanks everyone for your feedback and help. Will put in a FR once I get there and back.

Ahodesu,
I have seen people surfing at Karon but the surf isn't much to speak of. Nai Harn was my favorite beach to hang out at when I lived there.
Surin beach has the nastiest of rip tides but the waves are breaking relly close to the shore. I would go as far north and work your way back down the coast toward Nai Harn. Don't bother trying to surf on the east side of the island as there is very little beach.

Hi Guys,
Well is starts with "f" anyway!!
Where are some good fishing locations in Thailand? Have got a 7 day leave pass from she who must be obeyed!!
Ideally looking for a location where the night life is really good too. To be honest the fishing is secondary but at least I need to park myself where charter fishing is are or it might look at tad "fishy" if ya get my drift.
Also I would like to do a days cooking class so if there is a location where I can get out on a fishing charter and a seperate days cooking class in the same location would be great. Of course the pre-requisite is the night life!!
Where in Thailand can you get the best of both worlds, bar girls and fishing/cooking!
Thanks,
Fleetz
Brief report on Karon upon last week's experience: after strolling through town with vulture-eyes and MP-radar on high alert, I found only one place that offered "extras": Blue Moon Massage, on main street and adjacent to a bar aptly called "Gun Bar".
The way it works: you sit at the bar, order a drink, then a girl (in my case she went by "Go") shows up and asks you if you want a massage. House fee is 600 Baht for the bar, and extras are negotioated separately. The MP consists of a back room to the bar featuring shower facilities and a bed. After mutual undressing, "Go" soaped me up and proceeded with "soapy massage" on an air mattress on the floor, and some dry humping. Then she inquired about my further intentions ("Boom, boom"? BJ? HJ?) I opted for HJ only, and bargained her down from 1000 Baht to 300.
In a nutshell, average and "Go" is also the perfect example for a girl looking soooooooo much better with her clothes on than off....
That's it for now from Karon; happy hunting, everyone!

Hi everyone.
A few question for the regulars from a hopefull 1st timer. I'm traveling next week to phuket (pattong beach/deevanapatong) unfortuantly I don't have my own room as I'm taggin along with 2 other freinds (a couple)
So will have to find local rooms for fun on the evenings.
The other thing I was considering was renting a 2nd room in another hotel just for mongering, is this worth the trouble or are there plenty of short term room available a good rates that the girls take you to
I'm sorting out my budget for the 10 days I'm there.
So I've had a good look thru the forums. But want to check on a few things.
I'm hoping: -) after looking at one of the reports that I can find at least one 2 girl session while I'm there, how much can I expect to pay for this for a good 4 hour session at least.
What is the average price in pattong beach at the moment for one off's (1 hour) and longer (overnight).
Sorry for so many questions. Don't to arrive and run out of mongering money 5 days in: P so just making sure I have enough funds.
Get your own room.
Ok Guys,
I am in the process of reading the posts in the forum but I have a question that I wasn't able to find using search and was hoping to get some help with.
I was in Phuket server years ago and stayed at La Meridian Resort, which was quite nice and relaxing but not friendly to bringing a guest back. Have they changed any since the Tsunami? If not are there other really nice resorts that are a little less restrictive toward having company?
How is tourism in Phuket in the last year? I heard it was pretty bad most of last year as the rebuilt, is it getting better? How are the prices? Sorry to be asking a bunch of newbie questions, I will be reading more of the past posts as well.
Cheers,
PIT
No, Generally 5Star hotels don't like guests with exception to the J.W. Marriott in Bnagkok where is it the Big Boys Boom Boom Hotel, no check no ID cards etc, except most girls know the palce is loaded with cameras and they take care of their own problems. their security will go to the bar and look for a girl is their is a problem.... INb HKT, Novatel, Amaril Marriott etc are don't liek girls. I think the Amari will nic you for 1000 Baht per trick!
Brothers,
I am going to Phuket with a lot of external family members (including Home Minister) for a family reunion. We will be staying in Andaman Resort & Spa. Just wondering whether fellow brothers of common interest can advise me on where I can go for a quick "soapy massage and extras" around that area without HM or other family members knowing. If possible would appreciate some recommended places and going rate. I will definitely post FR on my adventure.
Brothers, please don't shoot me for asking. Hope for some help. Cheers.

Bring enuf money. Or bring an ATM card. It's tough when you run out of money in the middle of a session.
Just got back from here and what a rip off!!!!! Trying to pick up women who are asking 4000 baht for LT and 3000 for ST. What bullshit. I only stayed with one for LT and spilled 2500. I should've stayed with her for the entire trip. otherwise I scored shit women who I negoiated ST usually for 2 hrs and only one pop!!!
if you want mongering Bkk or pattaya is the better option.
I'll post more stories when I'm in a better mood and wake up abit!

And not to mention the overall qualitity and quantity of gals in Phuket dont even compare to BKK or Pattaya. Like I posted before, Phuket (Patong Beach)had some of the highest prices Ive ever paid when visiting LOS, including hotels etc. Place more for couples and families --IMO
PT
Phuket is not really a mongering destination, it is OK if you like snorkelling, or if you like swimming in beaches with cleanish waters or even if you like big cockroaches: there are hundreds of them all over the place in Bangla Road, but if you travel all the way to Thailand with the sole purpose of mongering don’t waste your time in Phuket.
I would like for more of the members who have been to Phuket in the past 6 months to verify if the recent statement about the cost of pussy is true. I have never been to Phuket, but was planning a trip this summer. But I am going for both types of diving, scuba during the day and muff at night.
From all I have read, Phuket is the place to go since the Sunami. Prices are supposed to be cheap and hospitality good. But again I have not been there. I have dove the Philippines for the past 6 years, diving is good and pussy is cheap.
Trust me DanTheMan I am not saying your wrong I am just doing my homework before I spend $2,000.00 on a trip there, when I would be better off just stopping in the Phils again.
LK
Thats fine, no skin off my nose:) My place was relativley cheap (Burasari) - $100/ night australian $$. Was in a good spot. Phuket for eatign is good and cheap, hospitality is always good. Tours though are expensive and so are the women. Peronally I like Pattaya, its more laid back and less crowded. Patong was as crowded as crowded could get!!!
One pet hate about Phuket is all the Europeans. Now I know there is good and bad in everyone, but if some of those arrogant pricks spoke to me the same way as they spoke and treated the local Thais, they wouldn't be standing up straight for too long. Rude arrogant fuckers!
Really, thank you. As I said I am just looking for other opinions, and observations. I do appreciate your feed back.
Hehehehe and I thought us Americans were supposed to be rude ones, wow.
But again your staying at places way to expensive than I would ever thing about, I am talking about staying at the Expat or others off Bangla Road, they are about $20.00 to $30.00 USD per night. Damn I won't pay $100.00 here in the USA.
I am a diver, scuba during the day and muff at night, so I am always looking for the best bang for my buck. Thanks again for your report DanTheMan.
LK
Dan,
So are you calling ALL Europeans rude arrogant fuckers.
How about elaborating a bit and telling us which race in particular got up ur wick?
WW
Lion Killer,
If you are staying on patong Beach--expect to pay alot more for everything. There is nothing cheap at Phuket, transportation , decent hotels and gals much more than almost everywhere else in LOS (except for some areas of BKK)
The gals expect more and generally get more money as people going to Phuket have more to spend. I find that vacationers going here are more easy to part with there money and not willing to negotiate and haggle ,partly because they are not here for too long so dont want the hassle and just want to enjoy the moment--thus pushing up the prices for the rest of us.
Thanks for the reply. I have done my homework on hotels and as I said I can get an average hotel around Bangla Rd (not into high end hotels) for about $20.00 to $30.00 US dollars a night and over night guests are free of charge.
The cost of diving is average, as I have contacted several dive operators, its about $20.00 to $30.00 per dive, cheaper than Cozumel.
So that just leaves cost of pussy. I am very good at haggle and negotiations. Its half the fun of the hunt. Thanks for the info Phantom. Any one else is welcome to comment. Thants what this board is all about. Thanks guys.

According to [url]www.xe.com/ucc[/url] you paid 100.00 AUD Australia Dollars = 2,871.93 THB Thailand Baht a night and you call that relatively cheap.
In Thailand, relatively cheap is my Si Sket hangout, at B120 a night, stocked with B200 hookers and B20 pad si yu and B12 half liter Pepsis around the corner.
That's relatively cheap, because around the corner it gets real cheap at B100 for the room and B150 for the hookers. You'd have to walk a little further for your Pepsi tho.
My former fav hotel in Pattaya was cheap: B300 for an aircon room, great big bed, very clean. Too bad that the reception b*tch annoyed me so much that I won't be back. Now, I've moved base to a relatively cheap fan room with ice box and tv for B250.
Now back to Phuket. Once you take the time to find a good spot to stay for say B300-500, your pussy gets cheaper too. You'll see.
When will you start noticing that you pay too much and that it is your fault and nobody else's. Don't start blaming package tourists. They don't spend your money, you do.
Reliable sources tell me that Patong has gone way up in price after the Tsunami. But that Phuket Town is still the same. I always stay in Phuket town when I'm on the island so I don't have to deal with the Patong bullshit.
I just drive trough it on my B120 a day Honda and shake my head at them fools.
One of them would be you.

Yes, I was there after the Tsunami and correct as prices are way up, guess they are trying to make up for lost income. But I suspect prices here were always high even before the big wave hit.
Only wish I had the time to get to know Phuket town better, I was only there for several hours, maybe next time round I will find all the cheaper places there (with maybe some help from all you helpful bros of course).
PT
Its good to see we have some action on costs now in Phuket. It does the board good for all your reports. Since I have asked my questions I have gotten very good results and am now planning to visit Phuket this summer.
As I said before I am a veteran of the Philippines and want to scuba/muff dive Phuket for a change in pace. Thanks for all the info guys. Keep it coming.

FREELER SAID: When will you start noticing that you pay too much and that it is your fault and nobody else's. Don't start blaming package tourists. They don't spend your money, you do.
No no no....... I'm not blaming package tourists for the price of pussy in Phuket. I chose to pay $100 AUD a nite because that i smy decision. try finding a room in Melbourne for $100 AUD a night and you will struggle. In my eyes I like a bit of luxury on my holidays. I work hard all fucking year putting up with idiots, cretins, and the bottom wrung of society, and thus I like to treat myself for 4 weeks out of the year in my time......thats me. Like you said, I made that decision and I did. I have no problem with that. If I wanted mega cheap I'd have mega cheap. My point is that asking 4000 baht for LT or 3000 for ST is insane!!! I siad no to a heap of shelias whilst over there, and yes to others that I should've said no. But then again thats my second head doing the thinking for me, not the main one.
Now to the topic of rudness, the worst are (in no particular order), the whinging british, the french, germans and the russians. Obviously the russians travelling here have money, unlike the vast majority of their countrymen, so they figure they can treat everyone with disdain. Like I said earlier, there is good and bad in everyone. These are just the people I SAW! I know no-one from this board would be that rude, as we are all perfect gentleman :-)
Everyones welcome to their 2 bobs worth in this forum. This is just mine. Agree or disagree with me....fine, because in my eyes it opens up healthy discussion.

Freeler, you the man!
Looking back, when I visited Thailand on holiday, I paid a lot more, partly due to my ignorance and partly due to the fact that after 20+ hours on the plane (USA-BKK) I was hot to trot and didn't negotiate as much.
Now that I live here, paying less is like a game for me. I figure anyone can throw money around, so I take a different path, the discounted one.
Now when some babe quote me B1,500 ST, I nod serioulsy and point to a Japanese guy and say "OK Darling, see that man? He is a rich guy, he will give you fifteen hunred, sure!"
Now that I could care less (so many fish in the sea) they seem to read me and back off quoting silly prices. Sure, Im not going to get the go-go bar superstar for B500, but they are stuck in themselves anyway and I've found that the less popular babes deliver better service. After all, I'm not going to marry them, so I don't feel compelled to have a stunner.
I've had a few friends visit and even when I point out the bargains, they still overpay. I just think that it is the difference between living here (or knowing the scene very well) and visiting.
I'm not saying my way is the only way, but it works for me.
And Freeler, you still the man!

Anybody know if Coconut Village in Patong Beach is GF or not?
And yes I RTFFd. This board has hardly any recommended hotels. Almost all the queries are asking about which hotels to stay. Maybe experienced Phuket mongers can start listing the hotels. That would be great.
Many thanks.

Many thanks.[/QUOTE]Been to Phuket many times and the past 8 years. Been to a few other destiations also, but for my money, the best place there is, is Phuket. Sure, the nightlife is absolutely terrific, but there is also much more to the island. Beautiful beaches, great diving, many great restaurants that vary from food stalls to high dollar joints. I think Phuket is a little more expensive than some places, though not outrageous by any means. Many accommodations from $15 to $50, that are clean and comfortable. And girl friendly. I think there are many that everyone here wuold be hasppy with. The two that are usually mentioned first are the C&N and the Expat, although I like Soi Sansabai hotels better. These include Yorkshire, Orchid, Cadillac and my favorite Summer Breeze.
I've heard many people say that Phuket is too expensive. But I surely don't think so. For my money, Patong Beach Phuket is THE place.
Late last year I stayed at the Thara Patong Beach Resort, and it was ok. This was my first time to Thailand, and I had just stayed at a 4 star hotel in Bangkok, so it was kind of a culture shock in itself to be in Phuket. I would have tried to stay in a different hotel if my group was ok with it. The rooms are ok, and the common pool area is pretty good. But with the occupancy rate being way down, it was a little strange and quiet. I assumed that there were just less tourists there since it was less than a year since the tsunami hit.
The good thing though, is it was close to all the action, and you could walk to where all the bars, massage places and restaurants. I caught a cold there, and conveniently there were two pharmacies nearby also.
I would like to know which hotels are newer/nicer than this one, even if the rates are higher.
Well, not knowing better, reserved a room at the Coconut. Will post a FR after I get back.
HB & JF thanks for your input. Much appreciated. But came too late and had to make up my mind. Next time.

Yes, Phuket may still seem cheap if compare to our own countries, say a nite in New york city (hotel, broadway show, dinner) will set you back one week spending in Phuket. But most bros here, including myself are saying that when in LOS, Patong beach is one of the most expensive places.

Another word about the expence of Patong. Yes, maybe a little more than other places in LOS, but still will fit just about any budget if you shop around. Patong Beach is now the only destination that I have in Thailand, other than a few days in Bangkok here and there, . And I definitly don't have money to throw away.
I totally agree with Han Baht and his recommendations. If you shop around Patong Beach you can find hotels or guest houses that charge lower rates. Try doing a google search on guest houses in Phuket or Patong Beach. Also, if they publish a rate tell them or email them that you have stayed there before for less...sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Ask for a multi-day discount as well. If you are already staying in Patong Beach you might ask a bar girl for a hotel recommendation. Many of these girls are quite knowledgeable in that regard. LOL.
Another accomodation alternative is to rent those longer staying apartments. I saw a very nice, practically brand new 2 bedroom apartment at a place called Club Lersuang close to Bang Tao Beach/Surin. Just behind the Surin Bay Inn.

Try Kristy's (Christies?) Massage for soapies. Last time I checked it was >2000 THB. Big place, big fishbowl. Many other massage parlors from 5oo THB, but not all offer soapy.
[QUOTE=Normad2020]Brothers,
I am going to Phuket with a lot of external family members (including Home Minister) for a family reunion. We will be staying in Andaman Resort & Spa. Just wondering whether fellow brothers of common interest can advise me on where I can go for a quick "soapy massage and extras" around that area without HM or other family members knowing. If possible would appreciate some recommended places and going rate. I will definitely post FR on my adventure.
Brothers, please don't shoot me for asking. Hope for some help. Cheers.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Coma Boy]ALL Europeans ARE rude arrogant fuckers. Especially the fucking British.[/quote]
I've yet to meet an arrogant European. Well, I guess I have met one, but she can be excused because she is an exception to every possible exception, an exception's exception.
I've experienced a number of Brits that fit the description of an Arrogant Fucker, but I've never seen a Brit that could be described as European. I mean how could they be European if they aren't living on the continent?
I can attest to the arrogance of the Americans because I lived on the border of America in a small country called Oklahoma. Before Oklahoma became a country it was a prototype of the modern "concentration camp." An entire race of people known as the American Indian were herded there from every corner of America.
It is believed to be the largest human "cattle drive" of modern time and possibly of all time. Approximately fifty percent of the Indian race expired during the journey because of the harsh winter elements or of malnutrition. The great round-up later became known as "The Trail of Tears." I'm pretty sure that the German's got the idea for the concentration camp while reading Oklahoma History. The history of the Trail of Tears became the perfect blueprint for the construction of Oshwitz.
I still can't figure out why America has been allowed to live as long as it has so far. I reckon it's hard for the rest of the world to think of us as arrogant. Rather, we're most likely viewed as a large preadulescent nearing puberty. We Americans should thank our lucky stars that most of the world doesn't go around killing babies.
I also haven't met any rude French yet and have no comment on the Spanish except to say that I'd like to attend a bullfight someday, but are these two countries of European origin. If you were to ask me I would say that Europa doesn't begin until you have seen Praha or Budapest or Cracow. These are the cities that gave birth to the soul of Europa and it was in their respective countries where the infant Europa was born.
Everything west of Vienna is nothing more than a cancerous tumor that infested what was meant to be Europa once she reached adulthood, but because of the tumor what was meant to be a twenty-something-year-old Europa became the first prototype of modern day America.
I sometimes wonder how a country bumpkin from Oklahoma came to know all of these truths, but I still haven't found the answer. I just know what I know and I'm fairly certain what I know is not at all far from the truth.
Posterlion....not sure what your rant has to do with the Phuket thread. Perhaps your were so busy foaming at the mouth you forgot where you posted it. Next time perhaps you ought to post it to the General Reports thread or better still to Domino's thread. It would fit much nicer in Dominoworld.
Have to agree, Paperlion has really lost it.
[QUOTE=Lion Killer]Have to agree, Paperlion has really lost it.[/QUOTE]
He's fine, just a little (or actually very) confused.....LOL
Well...
I wasn't actually foaming at the mouth. To be honest, I haven't got a clue as to why I made that post at the moment. Sometimes I'm just like that. It's my crazy, so to speak.
Hmmm... I think the whole thing started because I wan't to give Coma B. a minute twisted Mickey because he's from England. At least that is the impression I walked away with after meeting him one day. Then somehow the thing turned into what it became. That's the trouble with being INFP/ENFP. Those eight letters are more or less a synonym for crazy because the people that fall into that category make up about 1% of the world population and when you are such a small minority the odds of being misunderstood are rather high. :)
Sorry for not posting some mongering information. I can look in my locker and most likely produce some info on a hotel in Patong that goes for 550 Baht that provides: A/C, UBC, Room Service, and other basics if that would be preferable.
Take it easy on those that seem crazy man. They might actually speak nearer to the truth than the majority is ready or able to understand. and...
blah blah blah.
Thank you for your support.

[QUOTE=SE Asia Joe]Another accomodation alternative is to rent those longer staying apartments. I saw a very nice, practically brand new 2 bedroom apartment at a place called Club Lersuang close to Bang Tao Beach/Surin. Just behind the Surin Bay Inn. Huge swimming pool, swim up bar, great club house with full gym and steam/sauna/whirlpool and broadband access - and definitely Girl friendly as they ARE apartments!
SE Asia Joe[/QUOTE]Here's my standard procedure for long stays: book one or two nights in a brand name place. Then ask around for 'serviced apartments', there are 1000s of them on Phuket. Last time I had a brand new room in one behind the Intl Hospital in Patong, cost 10000 THB/month, a/c, very clean and elegant with a 1st floor balcony to the street strategically overlooking rooming houses where BGs lived. Never a dull moment. This is where expat and Thai businessmen and professionals stayed. It was Nov and many vacancies. Beach and Bangla were 10-15 by bike taxi or 30 on foot, past interesting local street life. Food plentiful and cheap from street vendors and small restaurants (20-40 THB/meal).
Thanks brother. Just wondering whether it is close to the hotel that I will be staying. In between family reunion, golf and meals, my time is quite limited and I promised myself that I will try the soapy massage that Thailand is famous for (according to other brothers in this forum). Cheers

I'll dig around because I am sure I grabbed a card or a leaflet or both in case I go to Phuket again. I can tell you where I stayed in a general sense quite eaisly if you already know Patong.
I'll use monger center as a refence point. It's the road with all the beer bars and disco's that is perpendicular to the beach. Now for the let down, that is if staying on the beach is a prioity. It wasn't one for me. I just wanted cheap accomos for sex and sleep :)
All that is necessary to find the Hotel or a different one with similar prices is this:
1) go to the reference point and make the following reference:
a) face the mass of beer bars
b) the beach should be to your left
2) forget about the beach and walk to the t-intersection
3) you need to cross over to the far side of the intersecting street
4) and turn left
5) check all the hotels in that area
The place I stayed in was quite large. It is a multi-story building with at least five floors and the elevator is outdoors because the lobby is an open air design. The lobby is on your right as you walk by on your way to the elevator.
I was surprised to get the price that I got. I did bargain a little while smiling a lot. The smile must have helped. I remember that this large hotel was not more than one or two hundred meters from the t-intersection mentioned in the reference point.
I enjoyed my stay there. The rooms were more than livable and it took a mere five minutes to walk to monger central. Now I'll go have a look for that card. I just thought I'd give you what I can now in case you are in a hurry (as in you are already there). :)

All are ok and GF and very reasonably priced.

Worst experience ever
Phuket - Sharkeys Bar
Rolled into here as all the girls wear school uniforms. Soon caught the eye of this young piece who kept giving me the eye. So asked her if she wanted a drink......she did + I bought one for her mate too, who had a great bod but seemed really dissinterested. The one that was keen was named Goy. Goy was slim, good figure and was 19. When I asked how long she'd been working in the bars she said 3 months. Now the voice in my head was saying "give her a miss", but my other head was saying "do her, you know you want too!" This is where things started to go bad........
We arrange to come back to my resort for 2 hrs for 2000 baht. Fair enuff. We leave but she doesn't change and stays in her school uniform. Bad idea. Every man + his dog knows I've got a worker on my arm. Oh well, shes pretty hot, I'll get her to leave it on while I'm doing her, I think to myself. We get to the resort, and the security guyout front says something to her in Thai. My resort charges for "overnight guests" so I want too get her in b4 anyone sees her, so I don't have to pay. Start walking past the front desk, no one on, u beauty.....so I am just about past it, and I lgo to look at her, and shes not with me, she's walked rite up to the desk + rang the bell.....so I get slugged an extra 1000 baht. FUCKING STUPID ***** I'm thinking to myself. I say to her, did the guard tell you to come here, and she just gives me this stupid grin. I'm fuming. .....Stupid ***** I say to myself.
Get to the room she heads for the shower so I get undressed. After the shower were into it, and shes got a great teeny body with perfect round boobs with a generous C cup....nice. I work on those tits for a while, and do down stairs, when all of a sudden a hand turns up. "no I don't like that she says". OK, fair enough. Then so i ask her for a BJ, and she gives me this stupid grin again.....BJ, I say........smoke! Stupid grin again, and nothing..............Fuck this I'm thinking, so I go to kiss her.......no she says I have a cough, and gives the fakest weakest cough I have ever heard! By this time I am mightly pissed off! So I think to myself, I am really going to give it to you.
We start fucking missionary and she struggling trying to get it in, and shes pretty tight. I finally get up a good rhythm and start pushing it deep into her and shes moaing + the face is contorting. Then she gets on top, where I'm playing with those great tits. Shes grinding away, and every now + then I push it hard and deep into her, and she struggles with it. All of a sudden while its getting good, her mobile goes off, and I say what the fuck.....and with that she answers it! Then she comes back and apologises. More of her on top. Then we try doggie and she ends up laying on her stomach and I'm feeding it to her from behind, whlist basically laying on top of her. (Alot of BG seem to like this position - and so do I). She lets go a few moans etc, then I roll her around to missionary again, and I am workign on her like I've never gone on a woman before fucking her hard and deep, when soon its all over red rover.
She heads for the shower, telling me about how she feels sore. Serves you self right u stupid *****, and comes back dressed. Shes been here for 45 mins. I say are you going, and she says yes. I said "hang on we had a deal, u stay here for 2 hrs". OK, she says and sits on the end of the bed disinterested. By this time I explode, and I very rarely crack the shits, but when I do, I go right off. I grab my wallet and say to her, you were to stay here for 2 hrs, get the fuck out, and I throw her 1000. She says no no no, 2000. I go "right, just leave, heres 1500!". SHE THANKS ME and I see her out, thank Christ!
Oh, but it doesn't stop there......... I go to take a shower and pick up the towel she used, and there's blood all over it!!! What the hell..........I reckon I either fucked her that hard she bled, or I was her first and I popped her! Geez I don't need this. I saw her a few nights later back at the bar, but never went there again.
Avoid Goy like the plague. She wears a white, 60's style cap if you are ever mongering around Bangala Rd.
Likke I said..............Worst episode ever!

Thanks brother for the information. I will certainly go there for the soapy massage experience. BTW what time would be good for a session. My free time will most probably be in the afternoon between 3-5pm when the home minister and relatives goes shopping or taking a nap.

Patong '06 Jan, April June Aug Oct Nov already tickted and have my rooms reserved
Odd for a person whom is not allowed in Patong to visit so often. Why are you not asking questions except you have no plans to visit Patong or probably never been to Thailand.
Here is a pic of a fine place to enjoy and be out of the rush of girlie bars. No the answer to my question...That answer is the New Cocktails and Dreams bar which you pass on you way to the Hong Nam for the Boxing Arena.

I'm traveling out to Patong Beach on May 2nd.
Not booked a hotel yet.
Anyone know any hotels with nice female staff who accomodate in the mornings: P be a nice wake up call get a BJ off the cleaner, LOL
Hey Mongers,
Was reading that the Thara Patong suddenly has a joiner fee. Before I go into my story, the Baan Laimaai does not have a joiner fee. Negotiate up front and you'll have no problem. At least in October of '05, it was fine. Staff is great there...
Regarding the Thara, I had stayed there for most of the past decade, and have never had a problem with joiners at any time. Been there at least 10 times. I have had a variety of other problems, like an air conditioner that DIED in the middle of a heat wave, a few burn holes in the old section on a bedsheet, but everything else was great. Loved the staff, and the management always gave us 4 nights for the price of 3. Until my last trip.
I found it amazing that the Thara first tried to charge me 3400b a night for the room WITHOUT having company join me. I asked to speak to the manager and it just got worse. When I arrived there, they had the exact same rooms for 1400b a night through a travel agent, but I only found that out AFTER I had booked somewhere else. The reservation manager is a complete asswipe.
As I walked along Thaweewong Road and Soi Bangala area, I realized all of the hotels averaged about 1400-1900b a night with no joiner. Some (including the hotel right next to the brutally overpriced and horrible Savoy restaurant--do the market instead) was giving two nights for the price of one.
It was beyond stupid.
If anyone can give me links to apartment hotels (that are along the lines of the Royal President in BKK), PM me. And thanks.
I agree with the various posts on here that Patong Beach has indeed changed and the prices are way higher than they were pre-Tsunami. I found the bars to be very lean, the Banana Disco to be rockin' non stop and I'd be really interested to hear what the latest and the greatest is..
And go to the Gonzo bar for me and buy a malibu for the most stunning BG of them all. The Cambodian goddess.
Good luck LN

Not only that but its often against the hotel rules for employees to sleep or have sex with guest of the hotel. This will only result in getting them fired.

Magyo,
Just look through the past reports to book a hotel that is GF in your price range. Then, when you get there, you can go to a beer bar, pick up a hot BG and keep her LT. You'll then get your morning "Mike Check".
Depending on the hotel you stay at, sometimes an entrepreneurial bellboy will ask if you want a girl? If you are so inclined, you can tell him what you want, and he will send a girl to your room.
It's best to do your own hunt. Patong has plenty of BG's in the Bangla road area.
Hotel staff probably won't risk losing a good job to suck you off for a few baht. Don't assume that any Thai woman will fuck you for money because they are poor. This way of thinking will get you in trouble.

Dear all,
Have never been to phuket before. Planning a trip soon. Can you all recommend the best location hotel in Patong area (right in the middle of everything where the action is) and the hotel can be 3-4 star clean and have all basic amenities for family stay etc. Not looking for backpackers hotel la.
Also where do you recommend for great sex sessions with great MILF type ladies?
Lovalova - if you're with a family then stay as far away from Patong as possible.
It's the shittest part of the island. Good for girls but nothing else.
Coma,
I was in Patong last month and was very surprized to see a lot of families with children walking around. Patong was crouded with them. I even saw them walking Bangla Road at night with their kids past all the bars. I would never bring young kids to that area. This time last year, no one was there and the rates were half that of this year due to the Tsunami. I think they must be marketing heavily to tourists with children.
Lovalova,
Check out this link to a map of Patong. A lot of hotels are shown on it. Bangla Road is where 90% of the action is. Pick a hotel based on the location and do a search in the forum to find out if it meets your needs. I suggest you ask the hotel directly if they charge joiner fee's. This info may also be in the forum, so use the search function. Some in the forum may just answer your questions with RTFF (Read The Fuck'n Forum). The questions you ask probably have been asked / answered in the forum already. Use the search function, it will save you the time waiting for someone to answer a question.

I've seen Euro families with kids in the middle of the night in beer bars on 2nd Rd at Soi 2 in Pattaya. No illegal as long as they don't smoke or drink alc.
I remember cruising the RLD in Cologne with my pubescent school buddies for laughs and cheap kicks. Better than beating up old folks and snatching purses. Or doing drugs.

Dear all,
here are some GOLDEN WORDS that i would like to say after my recent trip last month from thailand, if mongering is your motive, do not go to Phuket, it is a huge waste in that respect, if a holiday for the family is the idea, then it may well be the best portion of thailand for that , however mongering here is a waste, nothing compared to bangkok.

Although not entirely true, its close.
The advise here is Phuket is for those seeking all of the following: sightseeing, beaches , isle hopping, and mongering( at nite when all else closes)
but if mongering is ALL you have in mind then perhaps Phuket is not the best option, as its also not the cheapest place for this.
PT
I have been to Phuket about 4 times in the past 1 1/2 years, twice with my family during which there wasn't any opportunity to look for any action.
On the other 2 times, it was with a mongering group from Bangkok, and I must say that we had a real grand time. Of course, being an island where the main attraction is the sun and beach, it cannot compare with Bangkok -- no way!
However, I just came back last night from a golf/monger trip, and here's the report.
DAY 1 : Arrived in the morning from Bangkok, and proceeded straight to Phuket Country Club for one round. It was an absolute disaster as we were totally rained out after just 4 holes. After waiting for quite a bit, the rain seemed to dissipate, so we continued to play, and again it rained cats and dogs. We finally gave up; anybody ever hear the Thai saying that 'never trust the weather and the women in Phuket'?
We left the club and proceeded to check-in at the Metropole Hotel in downtown Phuket, and as everybody was feeling soddend and weary from the rain, we decided to have a traditional massage. Found that the one at the hotel was fully booked, so proceeded to the Royal Thavorn. I decided to choose a younger lady, and regretted it, as her technique was really [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] poor, more like using her fingers to poke me, as compared to the firm, continuous pressure of traditional massage. I was in more pain at the end of the session than before I went in!
We came out from the massage feeling hungry, and had dinner at the Laem Hin, which was okay, except that somehow it has become infested with mosquitoes!
After dinner, we made a beeline for Fantasia, a nightclub with karaoke. There were about 30-40 girls available, and we each selected one to take back for the entire night. Cost about Baht 4,000 per girl for the whole night.
My girl was a slim, petite 5ft 2in, about 7/10 in terms of looks. She came with 36-B and I was surprised to learn that she's already 30 years old -- maybe because of her petiteness, she looked about 24 years old to me.
We started with a shower, and brushed our teeth. I was chagrined to smell that she had bad breath, even after brushing her teeth!! I suspect that she has a decaying cavity, and in the process of brushing, worked it up, and hence the odour.
Anyway, it was a pretty good session, as she was all wet after I diddled her clitoris with my finger. I mounted in the missionary, and was delighted that she was still quite tight. Shot my load, and we fell asleep. I woke up in the early morning due to a stomach ache and sat for almost 1 hour on the john. Contemplated having another round with her, but just couldn't forget the bad breath, so decided to pass.
DAY 2 : Woke up and headed for another round of golf at the same club; again, it rained like cats and dogs, but the rest of my friends insisted that we had to complete 18 holes no matter what it took. So, you can just imagine the torture of being soaking wet, etc. etc.
Went looking for traditional massage after the game, and again ended up at the Royal Thavorn. This time I selected oil massage, and with the lights dimmed so low, and the gentle, soft hands of the ML, I was in the mood.
Paid her Baht 1,000 for a FJ as she was more than 30 years old. While pumping away, I asked for anal, and said that I will give her an additional 500 baht -- she agreed, but unfortunately, I could not really get the entire shaft in, since she kept moving away. Finally, decided to just stick with the pussy, and finished off there.
Went for dinner up the hill at Tun-ka Restaurant, serving Thai food, and it was simply DELICIOUS!!
After that, we headed for Rome Place Hotel, and checked out the girls on the 4th Floor. There were about 10 girls available, all no older than 23 years. Picked a 19-year old looker, and made an appointment for them to meet us at our hotel at 10.30pm.
We went back to our hotel, and decided to relax at the Lobby Lounge, while waiting for the girls. To our surprise, we found out that the club at the basement had some of the best looking girls we had ever come acros in Phuket, and they were available for take-out to our hotel rooms as well. Jeez ... we had been wasting our time cruising around looking for action at mediocre places! Even though my 19-year old from Rome Place was quite a beauty, she was the only pretty one there, whereas this place was crawling with beauties.
The name of the club is Chamois (I think) and they have 2 types of girls; one available for take-out, and another set just sitting behind the bar chatting to customers, no take-out. You can take the latter to the karaoke rooms as well, and the charge would be about 250 baht per hour (drinks additional).
Well, the girls from Rome Place showed up, and I had a pretty good session. She's about 5ft 5 in, with a slim body, and long legs. The entire package looked like a model, as she's a real looker. The only drawback was that she'd had a boob job, although it looked real good -- you know, it didn't look artifically out of proportion.
It was a tremendously short 30 minutes session, as it was all business with this girl -- much like the sessions in Malaysia at the HCs.
After finishing, all of us agreed to head down to the Pink Lady for some fun. As were all worn-out, we stayed in the karaoke rooms; the girl I picked was from the bar, and very comely, with REAL upthrust breasts ... I checked. She's 21 years old, and had a body that was packed tight!! I was drooling over her breasts all night, and wished that she was available for take-out.
DAY 3 : Left Phuket to return to Kuala Lumpur.
Yes, the rates for hotels in Phuket can be unreasonably high; I read in a brochure that the rainy season is from May-October, and that from 1st of May, the hotels revise their prices DOWN due to the rainy season. With the amount of rain we were experiencing, I can imagine that it's really no fun if you're there for golf or hanging out by the beach.
In terms of comparing Patong with the area we were hanging out in, I think it's not so crowded as Patong, and less of a tourist rich area; in a sense, seemed more altruistic in terms of a Thai experience. But, different strokes for different folks, I guess.
I was about to give up on Phuket as a monger destination, but the club at the Metropole Hotel really makes me want to return. One of my friends picked a real 20-year old beauty whom I hope to marry in my next life!
Best.

Perhaps, the person who brought you made some commissions.
Fantasia's line-up is at best mediocre with many girls over 25 and above and at times they have nearly 120 ladies with about 10% who are up to grade. Then, some of the older girls have great attitude.
2) Pink Chamois in the basement of the Metropole hotel has been the top take out joint in town for a long time.
However, the lineup of take-out ladies is ever changing with ladies coming and going and sometimes, its very good while other times, it's poor.
For the ladies behind the bar, some are cute and all are young. You can get them into bed but they are more comfortable with members and regulars and there is some "courtship" involved in getting them into bed. A few drinks offerred helps in warming them up.
I was booked too stay at the Tara Patong Beach Hotel. I have stayed there several times before and recommended to friends and business associates. The hotel has a new management and the service, attitude and friendliness is totally changed. I had booked a Super Deluxe room for two guests (2950 THB a night)
During Check in they ask me how many persons are staying and I told them 2 guests. Then the front desk girl tells me that if I want to bring inn guest for the night it’s a additional charge of ONE THOUSAND BAHT!!!!!
They have also closed the hotel entrance close to the beach after 11 o’clock in the evening; you have to walk around the block. The guards were rude, impolite and did not speak a single word English.
SO MY RECOMENDETION: DONT STAY AT THIS HOTEL
You're so right Rabast!
They were such idiots last year that they are trying to turn in into a family playground now, what a joke. Now a joiner fee ? To what ? Fix the burn holes in the bed linens? Give me a break!
Used to be the best hotel on Patong Beach.
Check out the Baan Laimai instead.

Just arrived this weekend for Thai holiday. Took a nice bath and a nap, and ready to go play. Unfortuantely, it appears I arrived on the only day thai bars close. Being Buddha holiday everything was closed and street only had some katooey. I've been sitting on a plane with a hard on for 20 hours for this? I could not even buy beer? What a lousy way to start.
Next night, tried hard to stay awake but jet lag killed me. By 6pm I was dead but determined to get some action. Visited Christins MP. Had 3 different prices 1800-2200-2500. Spoke some Thai managed to finaggle rate down, but probably still high at 2000, although got nicer girl. Sex was good but MP girls disappoint me in terms of affection compared to BG. Plus I had trouble going second round as took forever to finish.
Now will try and get on schedule to better monger my way while on holiday.

Avoid Goy like the plague. She wears a white, 60's style cap if you are ever mongering around Bangala Rd.

Where's everyone? I got bored and decided to see Goy. Nice and slim, only about 4'10" and looks like she's 14. Had on some fake diamond stickers to the right of her eye.
Dan, you would be happy that I inconvenienced her enough to get her off stage and come say hello. Got all pissy as she thought I invited her over for a drink. Has a Liv Tyler type mouth but with dumb grin, limited english and would repeat evyerthing I said. Because of Sharkey's location and school girl uniforms, got impression more girls are used to being invited out of bar and think they can get what they want.
When asked why I asked for her, simply told her to know which girl to stay away from.

Sixtynine, you are a fucking legend my friend........I owe you one!!!! When I read this I laughed my guts out!!! Good on ya!!! Pathetic sluts like Goy, let the whole system down. When I think of that stupid grin, it still drives me nuts.
I had some of the worsts roots in my life in Phuket. I should've stuck to rooting Ladyboys! At least they aim to please......and they are better looking.
I think you are better off going to the massage centres in Phuket and getting HJ's and maybe the odd root from one of the girls. They are 1000 times more friendlier, and a hell of alot more worth the money. If you are interested in a good massage centre, theres one next door to the Burasari resort in Soi Holiday Inn. As you turn left off Beach Rd, its about 20m on your right, and ask for Dee. Tell her you are a mate of Dan from Australia. (hopefully she'll remember me). She is great at what she does, and possess a terrific personality!
Next time I'll stick to Pattaya. Better girls, and in my opinion, beach is less crowded, and alot more laid back.
Was in Phuket town the past couple of days, there is nothing going on there. Few foreigners and Thai women had standoff approach there. Ended up in huge rainstorm in Soi Sipet stuck there for almost 2 hours. Picked the best of the worst there but had rushed session. Rule of thumb, don't pick the girl sitting by herself with her arms crossed. Pick one of the ones smiling and playing cards in the back.
Went with friend who did not believe me there were girls in Phuket for 400 ST. All in all, that's about what it was worth. People were friendly in food places and was a relief from Patong prices but not a mongering place. Outdoor beer gardens were fun until it got rained out at Fever Corner and Sure.
Will have to check out the MP you mention as I have passed by that street a few times. It is right above some pharmacy and mini mart which is why I did not understand where the girls take you. It is probably the closest MP to the water. Would check out rooms first as want more privacy then the little curtains most have partioning off. Most of the MPs I saw and think would be more competitive would be behind the Royal Palm. Had great smoking session there with some girl named Long. Told me to tell her before when I was going to cum. Ooops, sorry, toooooo laaate.
thers actually 2 MP next to Burasari. One each side of the Resort. The one I recommend is the one closest to beach rd. Next door to the INdian resturant. The rooms up satirs are the ol' hospital style curtains.
You can still get away with a bit up there!

Another rule to follow:
Do not pick a gal chewing bubble gum as I find they are generally more arrogant . You may think the chewing gum will improve mouth muscles for good BJ--WRONG---the gum is in the mouth for the sole purpose of not having to stick anything else in there.

From 10 - 15 May 2006, I was at Phuket attending my family annual gathering. Mt first time in Phuket. The first 4 days were occupied with golf and shopping. My HM was sticking to me like glue and could not get away to enjoy the "flesh market" :( The worst of the matter was that on 12 May 2006, all entertainment spots were closed as it was Wesak Day and no hanky-panky was allowed).
That evening (12 May) I decided to call a meeting with the other husbands of my wife sisters and we decided that enough was enough. We needed to get away to do our men thing:). So we suggested to our mutual parent-in-law and other uncles & aunties that since the weekend was approaching, they should spend the day at Phuket town (shopping) while the 4 guys played golf at Laguna Golf Club. My wife and her sisters were die-hard shoppers and immediately jumped at the suggestion (especially when we offered to give each of them RM1000 cash to spend - respective wife by respective husband).
Next morning(Saturday), they set-off to Phuket town (we were staying at Club Andaman Beach Resort)and we set-off for our golf game at Laguna. Had a good game that morning (won some money) and got a bit friendly with my caddy (named Oi, aged 28yo but small body frame). After the game, I asked her for some service and she led me to a shed at the far end of the club. Once in the shed, she took off her uniform and began to give me a bbbj. After a while, I put on a condom and slammed her hard doggie style until she was really wet. Turned her over and raised her legs with her knees resting on her shoulder and pumped her like there was no tomorrow. After about 4-5 minutes of hard drilling, I shot a big load. Got dressed and paid her 500 baht. Left the shed and went to take my shower at the club.
After shower, we proceeded back to the hotel. Dropped the golf bags and took a hotel taxi to Christin. WOW....talked about a *****house!!!!! It was located right in the middle of Patong town (I think) and it was hugh and bright pink/ purple (can't distinguished as I am very poor with color). Proceeded inside and took the stairs to 1st floor. Was greeted by an OKT who explained the system where the girls are grouped by 1800, 2000 & 2200 baht catagory.
My 3 other brothers-in-law decided to go for the 2200 baht category. They made their choices, paid and went upstairs. I decided to take my time and spoke to the OKT. Asked for his advise and he recommended No 15 (from the 1800 baht catagory). I went to the stage where they sat and look at No 15. She smiled at me and I like her sincere smile. Agreed and paid.
In the room she told me her name was Vany and she came from Chengmai. She had a solid body (5'4", 35C, 26yo and very fair). She spoke very good English as she attended English classes every day for 2 hours (on her own expense). We chit-chat a while while waiting for the tub to fill up. She then took off her uniform and assisted me to take off mine. Once naked, she asked me to lay down on a rubber mattress.
She began to put soapy water on my body and hers and began to use her body to massage mine. WOW..what a sexperience having a naked female body rubbed against yours. While doing so, she continue chatting to me and was behaving in a very girlfriend manner. She then turned me around and body massage the front. Her pussy (very little hair) was rubbing my shaft and he stood at attention. Without wasting any time, she gave me a condom bj (I did not know when the raincoat was placed on my shaft). The bj lasted for few minutes and with a small twist, my shaft was buried deep inside her c**t. She top-rode hard and fast and after a few minutes I cannot help it but unloaded. She then clean me up and showered off the soap from my body and hers. We then proceeded into the tub and there she gave me another body massage with her superb body.
After we had dried-off, we proceeded to the bed and she gave me a good traditional Thai massage.While massaging my back she continued to talk to me in English and there was no rush. Sensing that I was again aroused, She turned me over and began to give me a bbbj. The bbbj was incredible, slow with plenty of deep-throat. I wanted very much to shag her and so asked her to put on a condom. I asked her to top-ride me and once my shaft was inside her, I sat up and went lotus position. She began to move with my thrust and after about 4-5 minutes she began to moan and her grinding movement became faster. Her moaning grew louder and without warning, she let out a loud cry and I realised that she had climaxed. She held me tight and her breathing was very fast. After a while she turned to me with dreamy eyes and a satisfying smile and said that I was very naughty as I had defeated her by making her climaxed. She said that she had not had a customer who could make her climaxed in a long time ( bluffing or not it sure sounded good ;)) To confirm I put my finger on her c**t and noted that there was a lot of juice :)
I turned her around and entered her doggie. I pumped her very hard and after a while I told her I wanted to f**k her in the arse. She agreed and took a bottle of baby oil and applied it to her arsehole. I began to massage her arsehole to loosen the entry point. Once I felt that it was loose enough, I proceeded to enter her. At first it was difficult but after some more massaging, I managed to enter about halfway (my shaft) before she told me that she was in pain. I stopped and slowly began my thrusting motion. Sensing that she was comfortable, I thrusted my whole shaft into her arsehold and pumped her hard. I pumped until I was tired and told her to give me a bbbj until I climaxed. She obliged, took off the condom, wipe my shaft with a warm cloth, and proceeded to deep-throat me and after a while I unloaded into her mouth.
We were both exhausted and she told me to rest a while. I said that I only booked her for one session (1.5 hrs) and we have already used up most of that time. She said with dreamy eyes that it does not matter as it was her choice. We rested for about half hour and all the time I was stroking her beautiful and smooth body. I was playing with her firm breast and delicious pussy. After about half hour, her hand began to stroke my shaft and to my amazament, it stood up at attention. She giggled and said the naughty boy needed to be taught a lesson :)
She began to give me another bbbj. Again without my knowledge, a condom was placed on my shaft and she mounted me. We went for another session of hard-banging until I was really tired and she switched to bbbj until I climaxed. Once again my sperm were all drank by her. I finally left her after about 2.5 hours to the displeasure of my other brothers-in-law...hehehehe
Brother, after the soapy massage sexperience I had at Christin with No15 (Vany), nothing can top that. If brothers do happen to be in Phuket, go to Christin and try it for yourself. I am not advertising for Christin but I am sharing this information for all brothers of common interest. If Christin is not to your liking I was told there is another at Phuket town called Grand Plaza or something which is reputed to have younger girls. Cheers.

Was wondering that myself, how true is the report on Christins. After reading the report thought it was a letter to Penthouse magazine but decided to give #15 a shot, and yes her name was correct as posted. Soapy massage was great but took to long- about 35 minutes. Great attention to cleaning and rubbing everywhere. Only went because liked MPs in Bangkok and tried only one on the coast before. Also have been disappointed with girls I have taken home who get lazy as the night goes on, i.e. no BJ, want to do boom boom one time and go home or just sleep, etc. So heard about this MP girl and though I would be in for a nefarious relationship.
After soapy went to bed but girl refused to do BBBJ, said not allowed in MP, with excuse bad for me and bad or you, don't do it. Kisses were more or less off the list, except during intercourse when she does something that annoys me with some TG, she tries to suck my tongue out of my mouth! Why can't they suck like that when doing BJ? As for anal, out of the question as well.
All in all, a 6 out of 10 I would give her as she used lubricant complaining I was too big. Then she complained about going a second round and when I wanted a third round said time's up. She is in her 30s and just kept on chatting about trivial things- i.e. boyfriend from Sweden gave her a car, she is paying for house in Chiang Mai, etc. Session was rushed too and I did not bring my watch but noticed when I left the room already dressed, that her watch must have been 10 minutes fast or the hallway clock 10 minutes slow.
Will give positive as well, soapy was in great detail and she clipped my toe nails in between erections and massaged my back. But since I was sunburn, putting baby powder on a red farang is like drying your body after showering with sandpaper!
Not saying made any false statements, but reminded me of friend I had drink with me recently who bragged about a little black book he has on Phuket but when we met up, he conveniently forgot it in Singapore. Hmm.
Sorry for the late reply as I just got back from Australia. Did not try any meat there as everything was too expensive.
Brothers, I wrote as I have experienced them. I believe in writing in full detail as I am of the opinion that the readers deserve the detailed account. If my writing offended some who prefers the short version, I apologise.
My adventures does not mean I am neglecting my marital duties. In fact my wife and I have a very healthy sexual relationship. Except I get to do things with the other girls that my wife finds "unusual". My job allows me to travel to many places and experience different ladies and their skills. I do not apologise for that.
Like they say "one man's honey is another man's poison"....well I write as I experienced them and if it pleases you as fellows brothers of the same interest, please read on. If it offends you please skip to the next report as I am sure there are plenty of other reports to read.
I hope my position is clear on this matter. If my reply offended any brothers, please accept my sincere apology. Cheers.

Normad - I certainly am NOT offended by anything you write - and whilst the word 'bemused' certainly comes to mind - I'm pretty sure that most others here are probably also NOT offended. I would also like to first apologize to you beforehand for possibly causing offense to you.
We all appreciate a good report - especially ones so replete with details as yours are. But the thing is, there is a matter of perhaps being over board - especially when it comes to writing about one's sexual prowess and irresistible charms. Things like screwing - and coming 7 times all within the confines of an overnighter (jeez - even a third time - with a working lady - is definitely a chore for me!) and getting a complete stranger to give you a blow job in a Disco toilet within minutes of meeting here.... and then stating that she is the fiance of your marketing manager.
Come on Normad - I could believe SOME of the stories - but the fact is that you are telling us that each and every one of your sexventures is a mind blowing experience. I would humbly suggest that this just detracts from the inherent attractiveness of your reports and brings to question the maturity of your thought process.
Remember - ISG is about sharing actual experiences which readers could use - definitely not to misguide anybody. And when you state things like getting laid/BJ by the Caddy at a shed at Laguna GC (For 500 Baht!!) - well, that certainly got my ire up as I know damn good and well that this is a 90% improbablity. I play regularly there and just about each and every one of those caddies are decent hard working ladies (albeit that they are suually a bit older) trying to earn an honest baht. You come up with this story and I really do think that this is going over the line and will make things worse for these ladies to earn their hard earned baht.
Again my apologies - this is just my humble opinion - and I for one will continue to read your reports - but with lots of bemusement and with my tongue firmly in my cheek

Was really hoping someone may be able to give me some locations / names of somewhere where I could get a decent massage and HR. I'm there with friends and not really into full sex anymore. Feel it is too risky. Call me paranoid ! So is there somewhere I can go for an hour or two massage with optional hand job, up market and spotlessly clean,as cash is not really an issue. Perhaps a spa of some sort ? Thanks in advance really appreciate it.
try the MP next to the Burasari resort in Soi Holiday inn. Theres 2 there but the one I am talking about is the first one on the right as u come off beach rd. You cant miss it, theres always a tribe of women standing out front of the joint.
Ask for Dee! She'll look after you.

Dan[/QUOTE]Thanks for the info, since I havent been there for some years is there any further location detail available on this ? Is this a spa or just 'soapie' parlour?
Thanks

Dan, went there twice but Dee was either busy or off. Went instead with girl named Tik. Cute as can be and only 18 years old! Great service, highly recommend her, hell, liked her so much went back for seconds that week! I was all the way on the north side of the beach but thought it was worthwile.
Tell her Julian sent you, she will take good care of you!

The ladies make only about 100 THB a day if they are lucky, and the fancier places actually pay them the worst.
So if you're polite and nice about it will happen.
Tip her abpout 10-15% of the house charge which can be as low as 200. 300/hr seems to be the standard charge, even in an elegant place like the Water Palace Spa in Chalong (64/66 Moo1 Chofa Rd East) 300 THB includes great aromatic oil massage, unlimited use of Finnish dry sauna and olympic size swimming pool.
Good to see you checked the place out!!! They have some dam fine women workign there. Pity that Dee was busy!
Thanks for the information. I didn't appreciate there are so many parlours around and are easy to find and certainly didn't realise all provided all services you only need to ask!
I went into a few and most of them offered hand relief and more if you wanted it. It was 300 - 400BH per hour for the oil massage and another 150 - 250 for HR. I think full service was about 350. Had to be careful as sometimes they try and lumber you with the most ugly girl available.
I'll try and give directions to a good one I found. The parlour is on the second left road (meaning where cars can enter) if you head from the banana club and head towards Starbucks. It is at the bottom of this road and is the last parlour on the right. The road is a dead end so you can't really miss the last parlour. If you get to Starbucks you have come too far. It should take all of 60seconds from the banana club to walk from. The oil massage was 400BHT and she charged another 250BH for HR, taking clothes off and touching. (Hope I havent added too much to inflationary pressures for the rest of you lot).

I'm in Phuket for about 4 more days before they ship my ass back to Iraq, and I stopped by the massage parlor described last night and Tik caught my eye. Decent massage but she gave me nothing extra. No offers, no indicators, not even any teasing during the process. Made me think the place was legit until I came here and found her name! Is there some kind of secret password or something or are you just supposed to get stiff and whip it out for her? Also, I had no opportunity to tip because they didn't make me pay for the massage until afterward.
PS This website has been invaluable during the last week in Singapore and I will remember it every time I travel. Just want to say thanks to everyone.
Hows it going blokes? I coming to Phuket in the next week or so. I was wondering if someone could give the rundown on freelance girls and where is the best place find them. Is it the Banana, Tiger or Tai pan. I know I should find out by myself, but I thought some of you could help out an Aussie in need of info.
I've been reading some of the comments on here and it has been quite interesting, keep up the good work.

[/QUOTE]
No passwords or bs like in other countries, just tell her what you want. You just happened to get a nice 18 year old with little experience and English. If she is interested, she will answer and tell you how much. She was really shy and it was only after I showed the money that she agreed. Your luck could vary as well. I have had girls grab it without asking me and offer services because we were alone in MP and other girls avoid any contact above the knees because too many people were around. Remember, if others are not looking, then they will do everything, but they do not want to be seen as *****s. It is an oddity of Thai culture, mate.
PS- Also, oil massages are best because they ask you get undress from the start.

Thai hotels fill up as tourists return to tsunami-hit beaches

Tourists are returning to the sandy white beaches they fled after the Indian Ocean tsunami hit Thailand, fuelling a boom in construction before the start of the peak travel season in November.
"In general, the tourism climate in the tsunami-affected provinces has rebounded since late October, with visitors coming back not only from Europe but also Asia," said Suwalai Pinpradab, the Tourism Authority of Thailand's (TAT) director for the region.
"We expect tourism arrivals for the whole year could be back to almost the pre-tsunami level in 2003," she said.
When the tsunami struck on December 26, 2004, it left some 220,000 people dead around the region, including 5,400 in Thailand.
It also ravaged one of Thailand's tourism gems, the resort isle of Phuket and the neighbouring provinces of Krabi and Phang Nga.
But 18 months later, the number of tourist arrivals is soaring.
Foreign tourist arrivals in Phuket jumped 275 per cent against a year ago in the first quarter to 640,300. Arrivals in Phang Nga, the province hardest-hit by the tsunami, also more than doubled to 47,400, according to TAT.
The first quarter covers part of Thailand's peak tourist season, which runs from November through March.
With officials projecting a return to normal as the next peak season rolls around, properties that had been left in ruins have been rebuilt and expanded in hopes of cashing in on rising tourism demand.
In Khao Lak, the scene of the tsunami's worst devastation, the Phang Nga Tourist Association expects 5,000 hotel rooms to be back open by the end of the year.
"Western tourists - mainly German, Swedish and Swiss - have been coming back to Khao Lak. Arrivals now are roughly 60 per cent of the pre-tsunami period," said Praprut Khorpetch, of Khao Lak Laguna Resort.
The deadly waves left only a shell of the 115-room Khao Lak Laguna hotel, killing six staff and 20 foreign tourists.
But Mr Praprut said the hotel was so confident about Khao Lak's future, it had added 35 rooms as it was rebuilding.
Sofitel Magic Lagoon Resort, where 214 people died, plans to start rebuilding the 319-room luxury hotel next month.
Navarat Ratwiwattanapong, reservation officer at Krabi's luxury Nakamanda Resort, said tourists' worries about the threat of a future tsunami had been eased by the installation of an early warning system along the beaches. "We were almost totally booked in the first quarter and have received bookings for the high season," she said.
The most glaring exception to the rebuilding trend is in Krabi province, where the once postcard-perfect island of Phi Phi is still struggling to make its comeback.

What is the barfine going on these day ? What about ST ? LT ? I appreciate the info.

All will provide HR and charge 300 THB/hr for oil massage.
There are about 4 others there I have not tried yet, but they should have similar policies.
Still, the Water Palace between Chalong and Phuket Town I mentioned elsewhere is the nicest. Same price. Tips appreciated.
It's conveniently located and the amenities are nice. Only criticism I have is that the mattresses are too hard for me taste. Interestingly, I've stayed at the Amari hotels in Bkk and Koh Samui and they had the same mattresses.
[QUOTE=IrishPussyman]I booked into the Hilton for 8 nights, got a great deal, will find some place near Patong for other two nights.
Thanks
Hi,
Have just booked to come to Phuket in October for ten nights and was thinking of trying the Amari Coral Beach resort and was wondering if anyone knows anything about it, how far from the center of the action and if it is girl friendly.
Thanks,
Irishpussyman[/QUOTE]
I'm going to be in Phuket in mid September and I want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Patong during the day, but be close enough to it during the evening.
So I was wondering if Hat Kata Noi was a good choice. Does anyone know how far apart Hat Kata Noi is from Patong? How much would a taxi/tuk tuk ride from one to the other cost?
Thanks.
I heard that Sep and Oct are the wetest months in Phuket... Will I be sourly disappointed in a go go bar at 10 AM thinking that I was going to get some sun or are the showers that happen during this time heavy, but brief?
Thanks.

1st of all: if you are referring to Patong Beach go-go/beer bars, they are NOT open at 10am. Most dont start until at least early evening.
2)Rainy season can be tricky, but in general, it'll rain (heavy) at least every day for anywhere from 1-3 hours then stop completely and sometimes may have 1-2 short showers later in the day also.
Or
It will rain all day without letting up, but in general--its usually 1-3 hours/day.
If you want some sun, best to go to beach early in the morning.

September is hit or miss. You aren't going to be assured of nice weather until closer to November. But on the brightside, rates are cheaper.
I find Kata Noi a bit too secluded. It is mostly a couple of resorts, with little if anything else. You are better off over the hill in Kata Beach. There are some very nice places there and the rates are great. From Kata Beach it is a 300 Baht ride to Patong. But if you stay in Kata, watch out for the construction. I stayed at the Kata Poolside Resort a couple of months ago, but there is a huge development going on next door and they work pretty much 24/7 x 7. Ended up moving up the street the next day.

Probably a good choice. You get the best of both worlds. If the sun is out, the beach is right nearby, and if the rain comes calling, it is only a short dash into the arms of your new best friend. Good luck. Make sure to drop us a report. [QUOTE=Goober]Screw it, I decided to stay at the Summer Breeze, right in the heart of it all because of the rain and transport.

I'm a frequent reader of this great forum but actually have hardly contributed yet. But after my experience at Christin Massage Parlour a few days ago I felt it might be of interest to the others here.
Went with friends to Christin at 4:30 pm and choice was pretty average among the some 30 girls siting in the fish tank. Papasan quote 1800 to 2800, depending on age (as he explained) but dropped quickly down to 2500 after noticing my big question marks in the eyes, which I still considered above the known prices and went straight for the THB 1800.
Choose no. 12 since she could speak English. Forgot her Thai name but she mentioned she is called "Funny" in English.
Nice soapy massage performance and standard procedures. Nothing outstanding. Judging the price and the outside of the building of Christin I expected a place of more style and nicer atmosphere but it's more like a 2-star hotel in China and I was kind of afraid catching fungus being barefoot on that filthy carpet in the room. Otherwise the room was simple but kind of clean.
The unpleasant part came when no. 12 demanded a tip of 1000 at the end of the 90 minutes. Having done my homework here in the forum beforehand I was nicely questioning the THB 1000 tip. She immediately started calling me names and swearing at me. She even grapped my shoes and didn't want to return them to me. Only after I took my mobile starting to dial she gave in. I interpreted her behaviour as her way telling me not to tip her at all. Went down without tipping and complained to papasan about her attitude and that me and my friends wouldn't see any reason to come back to Christin again.
There are so many nice girls around Phuket that there is no need to spend that much money to be called names. Thank you but no thank you.

Ive stayed at Summer Breeze once last year and its an ok place. Just dont expect it to be a 4-5 star hotel. For the price its still a bargain as others have pointed out, its right near the action and only 1 block away from the beach (ok--its a very Long block though).

Hello fellow Mongers:
Strongly suggest you try the K Hotel in Patong. Excellent service, great restaurant, rooms start at 1000 baht a night and up. Started out last week at the Patong Bay Gardens for 2500 after my buddy beat them down pricewise and it was horrible.
K Hotel has free wireless internet everywhere included and no joiner fees. This is a great location for anyone looking for a place to crash.
Shame that there ain't nothin' goin' on here in Taipei that doesn't cost ya large.

I´ve stayed in SummerBreeze last November - following a recomandation from this forum. It´s definetly a good start if your activities are centered around our hobby:
central, clean, friendly staff and a perfect nightie
It is so o.k. that I stayed there trhee weeks - but I would not do so again. You can find much cheaper rooms with the same quality regading interieur and quality - or you can find something with more comfort. But for some reasons I was too lazy to go and search out... :-)
They have different rooms - so if you go in off season you may have the choice. If you need a balcony - not available. The food is o.k. - but try the restaurant next door on the right hand side - they have the better breakfast.
One more tipp: If you like long island ice tea - tell the girl that you want it with coke...and not without coke!
If the beach is too busy for you - just rent a moto and go over the hill to Laem Sing Beach. You have to park at the road and climb some stairs down to the beach. Most farang are to lazy to do so. And don´t forget to take a girl from bangla with you!
Have fun!
[QUOTE=IrishPussyman]I have changed dates and will now be in Phuket from Aug 24 till Sep 2. Anyone body else going to be around during that time , would be great to hook up have a beer.

I rent an apartm in Patong and I know the in-out Patong Beach.

Anybody come to Patong and feel like a crazy day, send me a mess.
Will also be there all of Dec - Feb.
Yo to all you brudders out there.

What to do?? On a shoe string budget mah. Izit any good? Girl friendly? Please do point out any other good and cheap accomodations available near the beach. Thanks a bundle.

Thanks for the tip. If that's the case, any other recommendations that's in my price range, ie. around Bht 1000-1200. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks again.
You must be a Malaysian going up north.If so you should try the accomodation
before turning down into Sarasin Bridge near Phanga.Very cheap and girl
friendly.Maybe longer distance to town, but its worth it.

Thanks bro.
But what's the name of the place and can we book online or not?
BTW, yup. M M'sian.
Thanks again.
Sorry my vehicle went too fast to copy anything.But you or anyone else should be okay if travelling down from Phanga by road as there will be
numerous signboards pointing the way to the bungalow of your choice.
At this time no need to book also as its the low season in August on the west
coast in my experience.
Now I rarely go to Phuket because of the exorbitant general cost for example
RM90 for a basic room which is only cool after sunset and breakfast in main
road Patong Beach at RM15.Suppose for Mat Sallehs it is no problem!!
Try Koh Lanta,Koh Libong etc for cheaper not spoilt cost.
Cheers
I highly recommend the Safari Beach Hotel which is immediately next to the Savoey Restaurant (same owners) Located on the Beach Road, 150 ft north of Bangla Rd. Small simply rooms are 1200b, larger and nicer rooms 2200b and beach rooms for 4400b. 100% girl friendly. Breakfast is served on a beachfront patio - a great place to have a late morning coffee with your local tourguide. Staff has always been very helpful and friendly.
Since Savoey has long been considered the biggest ripoff on the street, it's amazing that the Safari is cheap and girl friendly. Go figure!

Thanks[/QUOTE]I stayed at the Holiday Inn Phuket Beach Resort which is right on Putong Beach. Very nice hotel, very nice pool with swim up bar, and semi-girl friendly. Meaning that they will allow you to take a girl to your room but they take her ID and want her gone by 6am.
Is Holiday Inn Phuket in the centre of Patong Beach and is it near the strip
joints along Bangla?How much did you pay for the room?

The Holiday Inn is at the end of Patong Beach. However, is isn't far from the action. I have never stayed there, but I have always noted the location and how nice it is in comparson to other hotels in the area. Next time I go to Phuket I am definately going to consider the H.I.
I stayed there in March. It's in Putong and very close to the bars and clubs. Three minute walk. If you take a girl back there they will take her ID and make her leave by 6am.

Hey Vielen Dank,
All I can say is times have changed. When we went around there a few years ago, they were both adamant and arrogant when it came to even discussing having a lady in your room.
Interesting.

I would recommend the Horizon Beach Resort instead of the Holiday Inn. The HBR is right next to the Holiday Inn so I walked by both places everyday. The HRB feel very cozy and the pool is very private. The Holiday Inn feel like a zoo because the pool is big but crowded. From my room to the the pool is about five meters. I hardly ever hear any noise from the people using the pool as the crow is fairly small. The hotel is GF. They did not give my ladies any problem during my stay.
The walk from both the Holiday Inn and Horizon Beach Resort is about 10 minutes (not three). I normaly take a motorbike taxi that cost 50-100 Bahts.
The
Bob, guess it all depends on how fast you walk, how big you are, and how hot it is. Three minutes for me but I'm an ex-US Marine. Semper Fi brother.

Any info on this hotel? I've searched the forum and found one guy posted about the hotel emailing 500 baht joiner fees. I've seen with hotels that even if there is a joiner fee they still can be girl friendly. If you book for 2 people sometimes you can get away without joiner fees.
