2003 Pattaya Reports

[Jaimito Cartero]

SR - Well, I was wondering if there was a schedule of the mini-buses to Pattaya from Don Muang. I would wait up to an hour, but more than that isn't going to work. A taxi runs about 1000 baht? I'm travelling light, so won't have to wait for baggage claim or anything.

Thanks for the other recommendations. Everytime I go to Pattaya I find another undiscovered gem.

To Opebo:

Re Living Dolls: I was there earlier this year and I love the girls at that place. I took three girls from there in three days.

Bar fine was 500 baht; the girl got 1,000 baht for short time and 2,000 baht for long time.

But, if you want a featured dancer or one of the serving girls (they run around in these cute blue and white school girl outfits and serve drinks) the bar fine is 600 baht.

I don't know if Living Dolls is the most expensive. The beer bars are certainly cheaper than Living Dolls. But I will absolutely go back to Living Dolls because I loved the way I was treated there and it has, in my opinion, a great selection of very sexy, young girls.

JC,

I think Pattaya is a great choice for six of your seven days. And to answer your questions, First "girls with tongue rings" Soi Diamond, Diamond A GoGo and Walking Street, Living Dolls Showcase and Electric Blue.

Mini buses only direct from airport to Pattaya, spend the money and just take a taxi, after a long flight you don't want to be waiting around. Taxi should be no more than 1000 baht.

Both groups are great Flipper has two hotels and Eastiny has three, Eastiny is a little more laid back, Bella Vista (Eastiny owned) between Soi 7 and 8 is the newest of the five places, January 2003 and the lowest cost 750 baht.

Have fun.

I always go to Pattaya at night from the Airport. Get a cab right from the Airport. B 1500 and hold firm on that when they try to move it up to B 2200 (helps if you speak Thai, but just keep saying "Mai ow, Pang"; "No, Expensive" in English).

Buses run at set times only during the day at 09:00AM, 12:00Noon & I think 5:00PM. Late at night the cab ride will take less than two hours.

Flipper is less expensive than Eastiny. Both tend to fill up fast this time of year. When I stay on Soi 8 to be near the "action" I always go to "High Five" Hotel. I pay B 800 ($20) for a deluxe room with a kingsize bed and a nice bathroom with a bathtub.

Guys, try eating at the little Thai Restaurant on Second Road just norht of Soi 8. "Open air"' and mostly Chinese Thai eating there but you get delicious, authentic Thai food for half what you pay elsewhere. Drinks are also about the half the price. Service is great and the Thai ladies love it. I have been eating there for 10 years now. Open until about 03:30 AM each night.

I have a slow week after Thanksgiving, so I booked a one week BKK getaway. I'm going to spend all but one day in Pattaya this time.

From some of the pictures posted, there are some girls with tongue and clit piercings, but I've never run across them myself. Any tips on what beer bars you've found good ones at?

I've heard of the buses that run from Don Muang to Pattaya, but don't know if they run late. I'm on the normal almost Midnight arrival, so don't know if I need a taxi.

I'm going to try staying at one of the Flipper or Eastiny properties. Any real difference between these?

[Jackal]

Going back to Thailand tomorrow (Tue), was going to stay in bangkok for two days, before head down to Pattaya. Don't know what's up with the reservation at ambassador, email then three times before them reply 4 days after, by that time I already change my plan, new plan is book a room at the penthouse hotel in Pattaya for 4 days, skip Bangkok hope to have great time down in Pattaya, have anyone stay at panthouse before? Is it good? Also do any one know any good diving school in Pattaya? I would like to learn water dive while I'm there. I can't be just banging and sleeping all the time. so if anyone know a good diving school or other day time sport, please tell me.

Thanks

Speaking of price ranges, what's the bar fine/short time/long time price for the girls at Living Dolls? Just curious. I'd never pull one from there, no doubt out of my price range. I've just heard its the most expensive in Pattaya, wondered what that would mean.

Did not try to flame you, sorry if you got me wrong.
You just sounded so concerned about every single baht.

Will buy you a drink (if we should meet) to make it up.

Have fun

Thanks Freeler, Joe Zop, Traveler for your feedback and opinions

Joe Zop: "........how does it make sense to cheap out and limit your experience once you're there?"

Right, doesn't make sense, some questions were not carefully worded.( Would Love to have acess to editing options). Tried figuring out how far our currency can take us and get some idea of unfamiliar conditions, native prices, be it 10 or 100 $ . You guys answered that.

Traveler:".......... sound quite different......." - Possibly expressing myself in a non-native language contributed to that. & ".....anyway peace man"

Too few days of holidaying in the sun as someone would want to haggle over every BHT, neither cheap nor on a shoestring budget, within the average for the most part.

Umm, exactly where in the world can you reasonably expect to have a hotel, a beauty, bar fees and fucking in a safe and tourist-friendly place for $17.50 or 15 Euros? Please tell me, as I need to take that trip.

Just take the hotel out of the equation and you can easily do what you want in Pattaya. If you don't worry as much about a few hundred baht here or there you can have an absolute blast. I'm not against saving money, but given what you're spending on a plane ticket, how does it make sense to cheap out and limit your experience once you're there?

Pardon me, you are right.
Was thinking about Bangkok Airport to Hotel in Bangkok (e.g. Suk area).

[Freeler]

The_Traveler,

Taxi 300 BHT. ????
A van perhaps? Taxi's are B800, or at least they were in August.

Interesting point: Families in bars. The girls like to have kids in the bar. Kids don't grab, kids don't get drunk, kids are nice people, the girls like to get the kids a coke. And then they take daddy upstairs for a quicky. But momma don't know. Damn, you would almost start to like Pattaya.

>>1.If the rate is about 500 BHT for a SHORT TIME. What does it mean by Thailand standard ? (In Europe it means 10-15 min) ?

The rate for a ST at the beach road or at soi 6 is 500 BHT, bargirl around 800, freelancers around 1000 and gogo girls 1000-1500. Prices can vary though.
ST means at soi 6 around 90-120 mins, all others one or two time of bonking, no time limit, but most chicks might try to spend just 120 mins max to get another customer :-)


>>2.Is there a general price for an all nighter or is it all up to chemistry and bargaining ?

The latter, but it will be in the above mentioned price range.


>>3.Besides all the comfort and sights in Thailand. One is spending money on the flight, so to make it worth the visit for mongering imho I would expect a beauty, a rate somewhere near 700 BHT including half an hour fucking, fees to the bar & hotel. Can that be realized without any hassle in Pattaya ??

700 including girl, bar and hotel ?
At soi 6 (bar and room 250, girl 500) or a beach road girl for 500, no barfine and back to your room, otherwise no. Beauties will charge you. They know that they are cute and can get better customers than you. But all depends on your taste :-)
Ask Freeler for a few pics of 300 BHT ho's and check if you like it.


>>4.Are the prices fixed or is it possible to bargain ?

It is possible, but will probably ruin the experience. Anyway, it's high season then and you are not the only one. You will get what you pay for.


>>5.Are you pushed to drink something in the bars or clubs or free to stay and choose your TG ?

At gogos you will probably being pushed to buy at least one drink, At bars sometimes no need to.


>>6.What are the means of transport from Bangkok Airport to Pattaya. How much is a taxi, how much is a bus or a train and where to find it ?

Taxi 300 BHT. Never took a bus. Freeler might know that.


>>7.When taking a TG up your room, can you be relaxed about your valuables, apart from the general caution, or do you have to be paranoid if your camera or wallet is lying somewhere openly ? Does the same apply when you take two girls at the same time ?

Usually TG's don't steal, but a minority might. It never happened to me during the last 20 yrs though. Girls from a bar or gogo can be tracked down, but freelancers and beach road girls are harder to get.


>>8.Is Pattaya an area which caters mainly to mongering or does one encounter a lot of general tourists in the bar areas or the girl-friendly Hotels ? I remember an odd sight of a family ( and the possibly disapproving faces of the action going on) with their kids strolling next to the GoGo Bars.

Why do you care about it ? If families go into a bar area they have to deal wth it, nobody told them to be there. Some will also share the same hotel with you but not the same room :-)


>>9.Are the bars free of Kathoys and other species somewhere in the middle ?

Nope, depends where you go (stupid question)


>>10.Is worth to leave Pattaya and travel to other towns nearby with Taxi or Bus for some action and possibly better selection and prices ?

Depends what you like. Manola in Rayong and Happy World on the way to Chonburi are real nice places to be. But I guess they will be too expensive for you.


>>11.Why could you recommend Pattaya instead of other locations in Thailand ?

I couldn't, every place has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Flesh is available almost everywhere in the Kingdom.


All in all it sounds that you are either on a extremly limited budget or an extremly cheap charlie. I guess you should reconsider to go to thailand and better spend the money for your ticket on a local ho. You should also consider to travel to cambodia instead, much cheaper girls available.
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong in not overpaying, but you sound quite different. Anyway, peace man.


Have fun

Hi Coupler,

I will check out the Soi 6 place. FYI Soi 6 is known as "Brothel Alley". A pal, Wolfgang (the "Wolf"), owns a Harley Biker Bar/Brothel there (can you believe it). The Bulldog had some cute babes there also. Bob the Slob used to hangout on Soi 6 (before the booze/tabacco killed him). He was just like his moniker, a fat slob. Yet, he also claimed the ladies loved him, for himself.

Least expensive place there is the oldest, Was there back in 1989 when I made my first trip ( this will be trip # 74). It is called King Kong. But the ladies are interested in a quick fuck and drop you like a "bad habit" if they find you want to relax and have a beer or two.

I get in late on the night of Nov 26. I will have my black , "dragon" shirt on so any of you guys can recognize me. I speak near fluent Thai (passable Japanese and ok Mandarin).

02:00AM that night on Soi 8 around "Beer Bar Row.

Note: one of you asked about "Flipper Lodge". Make reservations and get a confirmation #. They once lost my reservation and were fully boked twice after when I just dropped by. This is now the high season for the Euro guys there.

Hey guys why you all are behind "Cupler"

If he thinks he got an extra ordinary treatment becuase of being Handsome Man, let him be happy. There is nothing wrong. He may be really a handsome man & some girls may be happy to sleep with him even for free. We have lot more who are ready to sleep with our wallet. Why you guys drop into pond if jealous.

Enjoy...
