Phuket Reports

[Gunners1]

Folks.

I am heading to Phuket in a couple of months and was considering booking the millennium hotel Patong.

Do any of you have an idea if this hotel is girl friendly. It's super ideal location to Bangla road.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for the update I'm heading out to Patong Dec 25th and was wondering if you had any idea about on the bar fine rates at Suzy and Harems? How much do girls generally charge for ST or LT?

Checked out a few go go bars.

Went to nida first, but it was dead at 10. The girls were all just sitting around and there were a lot of them.

Next, made it to Suzy. Still around 10 and the place was packed. The place is much dimmer compared to the last time I was there in March. They have Chang beer for 89 b. I remember it being around 160 in Mar. I guess they might have felt pressured to lower their prices since most of the other go gos are doing cheap beers. The place just had too people and to my surprise the girls here are not better looking than some of the other go gos. I found from an ex-Suzy Wong girl that both harem and SZ are owned by the same person and they are really strict at the girls. While I was there, my Thai friend heard over the mic "#39, why are you not smiling? -100 b" and later heard "girls on stage, when you dance you need to dip it low. " From what I hear there's lots of little deductions on the girls. I guess this is why SZ and harem are so popular. The girls has to put on a happy face and always selling. Some of the girls are making 100 k a month just off LD.

Checked out diablo next. It's their 10th anniversary and all beers are 55 b. Quite a lot of people and girls here. Didn't see any girls that interested me so I left after 1 beer.

Next was miss daisy. Place was completely empty except for 1 table. Made a nap and left. Then went to the lover. Not many people here so girls we're sitting around. Had a beer and left and just called it a night.

Heard of another go go in Patong on a different street. It's on a side street across from the video game place.

It's a shitty location. It's toward the end of the street and it's the only bar on that street. Idk how people know of this place, but there were a few people in there on a weeknight. I counted 15 girls and 2 were def my type. The LD was a bit cheaper at 220 and BF was 1 k with rooms upstairs like Nida. I only had 1 beer and then left.

My friend wanted to go to Tiffany's. I've never liked this place and this time was not different. None of the girls are my type. Only went to accompany my friend.

Plan to check out some other gogos and will update.

I'm going with big group of friend. Should we go all the go go bar and have a look then decide we should end the day?

It's free to take a look inside and make a lap. My favorites are Suzy, Harem and Nida's.

Lineups vary and atmosphere also. But the more places you check there more people will split up.

Finally will have 3-4 weeks in Phuket over Christmas.

Mainly have daytime access to Phuket town. Read good things about Katherine's but there seem to be many similar places like Angels a. S. o.

Has anyone tried any other place besides Katherine's? Is there a price quality difference? Katherine's still going at 2-2. 5 K for 90 min?

Will report after my trip.

Cheers.

Katherines seems to had some pressure since their page is more generic now. When I browsed the other places same area normally they charge more but it is for 2 hours. Hope someone got more intel.

Hi to all,

In few weeks I'll be in Phuket for a hot weekend, with friends in a villa.

We'd like to book some girls to come directly to our villa.

Do you know some good agencies?

Thanks!

So full disclosure I have not been to Pattaya. But if you were to get a consensus from this board I feel certain that Phuket / Patong would be ranked well below Patts and BK for girl activities. So don't go to Phuket if that is your main purpose.

But supposing you are there. Down Bangla Road about 2/3 way down on the right (headed to the beach) is Soi Sea Dragon. This little alley has all the best Gogo IMO and lots of little beer bars. There are at least five or six gogos to choose from. Just poke into various ones and see what cranks you up. Two years back Harem was the nicest venue and pretty girls but high priced. We had best luck at Diablo. Small club but three hotties we liked. Maybe just lucky. Anyhow just cruise Sea Dragon and see what strikes your fancy.

Go early and ask if they got promo get that drink and browse them all. Bangla isn't that big so you will be able to sort out. Rock hard is my favourite due to sentimental reasons and has a quite big local which favors viewing the ladies. Even with a bad coyote encounter there last time we had a blast. Don't go crazy with tips or drinks for them it is quite amazing what you can get for 20 thb. If you fancy someone buy them a drink but like I posted earlier if your looking for take out make sure it is on the menu.

Can advice me on which is the best go go bar there?

September is normally a quiet month and start of heavy rains in Phuket. Historically I have had a blast in Phuket and especially Patong being a part of that but recent few weeks I had some opportunities to roam around.

Kata, Karon and especially Kamala was really empty in end of October and start of November which also echoes in Patong. Illuzion was moderately packed but overflowing with FLs at midnight++. Suzy Wong had more girls than patrons and want 150 THB for a soft drink even if you buy a bottle of JD. If your wallet is thick and you don't mind splurging I think Patong is perfectly fine. But overall I think you will get more for less money in Bangkok or Pattaya. I would even go so far to say even if I am a bit of novice int that area that you most likely can have a better adventure going to Hat Yai.

Prices quoted from some ladies in Phuket are ridiculous seeing how little customers there are: 2000 THB BF and 5000ST. Personally I didn't go for this and it is possible to find more for less. If you know how to work it (them), the culture and language you will be able to go all the way to freebie. However I did see some Coyotes signalling they want to go with customers and asking for drinks but never intending to do so. Just be aware of this and make it clear early if they available before you splurge to avoid these "scams".

Feel free to PM if you have any queries.

My favorite part of the RMar experience is this irony — Prostitution is illegal in Thailand. So I laughed out loud when checking in they give you a little card that says "If you bring a girl back to your room, she is not entitled to the free breakfast". Hahaha I still remember that. It's illegal, yet we had all these cards printed up. 😋.

Thanks, that's exactly the kind of place I was seeking. Had some problems finding it on the various booking websites because different sites have it listed differently. R Mar versus R-Mar versus RMar were all used in one place or another. Prices for my travel dates for the same room and breakfast ranged from $85 to $165 depending on which website you used and if you bought a refundable reservation. I ended up paying $115, which was the cheapest available refundable rate. That was hotels.com while agoda.com had the lowest non refundable rate. The next day my buddy tried to buy the same room for the same days and the prices were different. Timing is important.

The prices I quoted did not include the large taxes and fees associated with hotels.com. On my first visit to a Thailand hotel I usually book using a booking site, but subsequent visits are booked through the hotel directly. That seems to save a good amount of money. For example, for my Koh Samui stay hotels.com wanted $115 per night (including taxes and fees) but I arranged 2300 THB directly with the hotel. Thats a big savings, but I dont deal direct until I have developed trust in that particular hotel.

Book the Rmar and don't look back. It is a nice clean small hotel and tucked away. Walkable to Bangla Road easy but off the beaten path. No noise. Girl friendly. Great staff. We loved it. Would repeat if I am back in Phuket.
