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.

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.

Freeler, My MAN

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.

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.
