Phuket Reports

[Rocko20]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently in the middle of planning my trip to Thailand. Do you recommend to spend some days in Phuket or Pattaya instead? I heard Phuket is a more relaxed vibe, while Pattaya is a more of a Vegas scene. How accurate is that?

Vegas doesn't come close to the wildness of Pattaya. Think Vegas on steroids.

- Went to Rockhard's Crazy Girls. Rockhard was my favorite go-go during my first trip, more than 20 years ago. But now, most of the girls weren't cute. Couple were average / decent. It seems to be more of lap dance bar. After you buy the girls a drink, or give them a tip, some will jump on top of you, inviting you to fondle them. Not many girls, and the girls weren't cute.

Yeah Rockhard opened lunchtime so perfect to cool down after beach with AC. I think it started to decline when the old owner sold.

Hi, scuba diving question.

The best spots in the area I am aware of are:

- Richelieu Rock / Koh Tachai.

- Hin Daeng / Hin Muang / Koh Haa.

Did dive several times during last few years but visibility was always bad.

Will come back in Phuket area in December. Did not book any diving yet.

Any tip where / when I should go to improve the chance of good visibility? Mainly looking for big fish.

Any other diving spot around Phuket you would suggest (I did dive the Koh Phi Phi spots already).

Thank you.

Shark point and Racha Noi is worthwhile. But you should probably do a live-aboard and head up to Similan for what you want. The ones you listed outside Lanta might not be optimal during this time.

During my major trip to Thailand, the hottest girl who I fucked over the entire trip (and one of the most beautiful I have encountered anywhere in the world) was found in Phuket. She was an Amerasian / Eurasian who I refer to as the "Thai Jennifer Jennifer Anniston" because that's who she reminded me of (but with black hair). Great looking, perfect white-skinned body, fun & sexy personality, and a good fuck (twice). Somebody somewhere got them a trophy wife! But to conclude, depending on how much time you have, any mongering trip to Thailand (especially a first one) essentially must include time spent with in Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket. Each city offers its own delights (in more ways than one)!

Nicely put The Cane.

I'm also a big advocate of Hua Hin, tho it's a step below the other three as a mongering destination.

Well behind those four come in Koh Samui, Chaing Mai, Ao Nang (Krabi).

Then the Isaan delights (of Udon Thani, Nong Khao, Buriram, and Korat.

But, to put it bluntly, other than the deep Muslim south, you can find it easily everywhere.

That is a correct assessment.

Tho both do have a bit of each.

Pattaya has a few quieter areas.

Phuket has one Vegas style area, Bangla Road.

[ThaiGoodTimes]

Checked out this place last night. Is the area called "Pub town" or "Little Aussie? Anyways, are there any other areas like this around Patong? Definitely liked how much more laid back it was than Bangla.

ThaiGoodtimes, didn't you say you had an older lady friend from Down under pub? Nina? Played some pool with her and talked for awhile. She seemed pretty popular with the crowd.

Taco.

I think you mean the OTOP bar area.

As that's where Down Under Sportsbar is.

And no, I can't recall mentioning a Nina there.

Hadn't been in Patong since January 2014, so take it for what its worth. Oh and before I forget, thanks for all the tips. They did come in handy.

Arrived yesterday. Long ass drive from the airport to the Patong resort. You can use grab at the airport, you just have to walk out across the street. Wasnt too hard.

PM observations. Tons of lady boys. If "she" looks super hot and / or has a super nice body, pretty safe to assume she is a LB. Choose wisely.

Yes a ton of Indian guys now. Not bad, just different from 2014.

Rounds my buddy and I made:

Suzy Wongs. Got there kinda early. 5 girls on stage at all times. Pretty passive scene. Some were naked, some were not. Its their choice apparently. Had a few drinks and moved on. Pretty good looking.

Popped in on Harem later in the night and that place HAD ENERGY! It was like a US strip club. Very nice talent. The Suzy Wong girls are required to work there on the weekends after SW closes for the night. My buddy and I like the more quiet go gos so we moved on.

We ended up in Tomorrow land. Very average looking girls but they were very hands on. Mine was a little thicker but she was fully naked and had her hands down my pants. She quoted 3 K for up stairs plus 600 for room. I said 2000 k for everything and she didn't really budge so whatever.

Lady drinks seem pretty norm at 220-250 baht at most places.

Popped into Illuzion. Tons of people for a Wednesday. Definitely some cuties rolling around but a lot of dudes. Probably 2-1 dude ratio. Pass.

I tried to find the "nuru massage" place across from Yorkshire Inn today. Only found "Patong massage". Didn't see Nuru on the menu but went for a 400 baht oil massage with a gal that looked pretty good. Decent massage. On the flip she made her offers. 2500 for everything. I countered with 2000 and handed it over. Nice experience. She didn't hesitate with the BBFSCIP even though I pulled out, she popped it right back in. That was a nice surprise.

I noticed the massage places mostly have the chairs now on the bottom floor and the curtained off rooms are up stairs. I don't think that was like that in 2014. Its better.

More notes to come.

Taco.

I would say the raining season is heavy and longer. Even the long term merchants along beach road are saying it's like 10 month raining season.

I would delay any travel until next year if possible. They have great demand pricing for umbrellas and rain coat as soon it starts to rain LOL. Good to Patong was ahead of the game many years ago! When ever it rains all the massage shops reduce capacity as people hang out inside awaiting the rain to pass or ladies take a break. The flash flooding really puts a damper on just wandering around finding little gems.

On the upside less people when it rains and it's not cold.

I would say that the bangala road is back to about 80% . I would avoid the gogo"s for bar fines the prices are super high right. Harem and Susie wong are quoting 3-4 k short time and 700 bar fine. Given the talent is not as good as bkk, it's hard to justify. I did the rounds of few places and did not see any bar fines.

It's all bad thou, freelancer on WeChat and on the street is still ok 1. 5 and you can ask what service is.

When it's not raining there are a few gem massage shops.

I would keep your expectation in check when out and about, Bkk is so much better for price and quality.

I won't comment on grab or motor bike taxi haaaa! Better hire a scooter or walk.

[GreenBud]

I am guessing you have seen and done more than that

I didn't do much at Patong. I was with my older relatives.

There were freelancers along Soi Bangla. More started to come out at midnight when I went back to my hotel. Not ugly, but nothing to write home about. I miss that BJ bar that was around Go-go street, maybe 15 years ago. Not there anymore.

I will definitely do and see more, when I go to Pattaya next month, without my older relatives!

- I like to have many cold beers and watch naked girls.

- The best one seems to be Harems, at that Go-Go Bar alley. It had the most girls and customers. But the girls were only topless. But most of them walk around topless in their skimpy bottoms, and you can slip them 40 baht and get a quick feel. Not sure if you can barfine them. I didn't ask. I saw the same girls at 8 pm and midnight. Is it just a gentlemen's club? IMO, none of the girls there were stunners, but that's on my highly selective rating scale. If you think there are 7's and 8's on Pattaya Beach Road, you will think there are 9's and 10's at Harems.

- Suzy Wong had naked girls, but most of them were ugly. But they have the Patpong style ping pong show. I like it when you hold up a balloon, and she pops it with her pussy paper dart blower. They had 2 older, ugly girls doing those shows.

- Few other go-go bars in that alley had full nudity, but the girls were not cute.

- There's a few other go-gos along Soi Bangla. I popped my head in quickly, but nothing I saw impressed me.

- Went to Rockhard's Crazy Girls. Rockhard was my favorite go-go during my first trip, more than 20 years ago. But now, most of the girls weren't cute. Couple were average / decent. It seems to be more of lap dance bar. After you buy the girls a drink, or give them a tip, some will jump on top of you, inviting you to fondle them. Not many girls, and the girls weren't cute.

Ugliness is the new Pretty in Thailand. Hahahaha.

I am guessing you have seen and done more than that at greenbud.

Can you share more insight on your travels around Patong for those who are thinking of visiting.

I am guessing they get bored of me "spruiking" Phuket.
