Thanks to all and especially Sir Lancelot for the informative recent posts. Was in Pattaya for 11 or so days in October and need to do my own report. Would generally say that supply-demand was on my...

I went to the Philippines about 20 or so times from 1994-2017 and am really wanting to get back there again (went to Thailand some 60 times since 1992 with a 2-year forced break because of pandemic...

I read some posts about the experience as a variety change-of-pace on another bulletin board for addicts of Pattaya and tried it just before the pandemic (am white, just for the record). The beer bar...

If green means what I think it does then the Acqua is, though it's outside on the smoking area on the balcony that each room has. That's a small space, barely enough for two chairs and a small table,...

Thanks for all the info. Very helpful. My impression of the Trocadero was similar, except I found the only taxi driver who didn't know it (and from a launch point in Callao). Prices were low but...

Reminds me of Hooty's from Walking Street (near the tree) some 15 or so years ago. For a time during a summer they had a B10 drink special but it was so watered that me and a friend downed 40 of...

FWIW, I had the instant sharp headaches a few years ago and it turned out to be blood-pressure related. Lots more drinks than my usual pattern at home (as is easy to do in Pattaya) and it shot that...

Sorry if any misunderstanding. I didn't mean the 48-39 to refer specifically to New Life, but rather to serve as just a generic example of a street number.

Here's a tip I left out that may be...

Greetings to all! Just finished a 5-dayer in Medellin, my first trip to there. Most of my experience has been in Asia, but with mileage awards and some 5 years of high-school Spanish many years ago I...

True, but the old Nataree in BKK had some pretty worn-down rooms, as did some of the places in the alleys off Pechaburi dating back from the 60's. I think the problem with Nataree was residual...

Your negotiating skills might well be better than mine, as that was my plan A before the bus came along but I usually got 35-40-ish. A big rolling bag + the later hour might also have something to do...

Greetings everyone! Just got back from a Lima + Santiago trip that was mostly business but with a smidgen of time to try to see what's new with everything since about a year ago.

I tried the new...

Was at Asia's Premier Family Destination Resort from the 8th to the 18th, so I must've just missed the latest crackdown round. Could it have something to do with Cobra Gold? Or the dopey Brit paper...

Thanks to recent posters for posting items with actionable intel. That's what really counts here.

For this trip Lima was the "fun" place and Santiago was the business place. I took Sky Airline on...

Thought I'd post notes from a recently completed trip, even though I only did the mongering part sort of halfheartedly and didn't break much new ground. Maybe there's a detail of use to someone.
...

I did a long report on Quiapo several years ago on a basis similar to this. I had other reasons for being around there. Sometimes you can find interesting collectibles at the anything-of-value places...

Did another swing by. Gave Cafe Jamaica another chance but had my guard up for any bill-padding and thankfully there was none. CLP1500 for a cafe cortado and 4 K for two ladies drinks, totaling 5. 5...

Greetings one and all. Thanks to previous posts here I went and checked out Las Cucardas on a Saturday maybe a fortnight ago. Was my fourth trip to Lima, though previous ones were short and not...

Well, Goyave beat me to some of it, but I can reconfirm that Soi Fae Daeng isn't operating as of now. Went there around 5 and it was a ghost town, so I rechecked around 8:30 and still totally...

Having not had time to research other options yet, I dropped into Nataree today for a soapy. Was 3 pm -ish or so. The only girls doing the raft slippee-slidee routine were in the fishbowl, and there...

Thanks to all who responded to my question about the bus.

I guess I was assuming all along that GFEs were off the table, so the fast that it once existed or might still be possible with lots of...

Am using an award ticket to fly into SDQ for a first trip to the the. Are. (airline doesn't go to POP or PUJ). Am arriving at 2:16 pm On a Wednesday and departing out at 3:10 pm The next Monday, so...

Sounds like you got the nice one I'd gotten the first time and should have insisted on rather than Rosie O'Donnell's ugly sister that second time. Glad it worked out for you, though. Always...

Building on some previous research about raunchier cafes con piernas in an area without many tourists. I traveled again to the cafes on San Diego street just north of the Franklin St. Intersection....

Back in 1992 B300ST / B500 LT was standard at B25/$1, but that eroded quite a bit not long after, to where it was more like B500/1,000 from many of the better lookers. Baht crash was July 1997 with...
