General Reports

[Banana Boi]

Never had any issues with crime in Thailand. Never had a fabled runner. Had more problem with theft at 5 star hotels in Vegas and Montreal than in Thailand hotels. Had a Farang who wanted to fight me in a Soi 6 bar because I was hogging the girl he wanted to take. I sent the girl to him because I wanted her to make money. To no one's surprise she refused to go with him. A couple of Pattaya taxi fare disputes after the taxi reaches the agreed price and destination. A couple of incidents with bars overcharging me for drinks adding lady drinks of girls I don't even know. Always check your bill especially if you run up big bills! Been accosted by tourist police twice by gogo bars I am not a regular at accusing me for not paying for a drink. Nothing came of it of course with the tourist police on the tourist's side.

I don't walk around Pattaya in a drunken stupor. That is just asking for trouble.

For the cell phone, they only want to switch the sim themselves, right? I would obviously want to keep my main sim with me. I get to keep it, correct?

How does one arrange a taxi on the way back to the airport? I assume you just flag one down at the airport to go to the hotel, but going back I imagine would be harder to get a taxi that is local to go all the way to the airport.

And as an aside, how long until I can post without moderator approval?

Of course you keep your old SIM card.

Lots of taxi services you call to pre-book a taxi. They are very reliable and pick you up at a designated time. Also a much nicer car than a regular taxi. Should be 800 to 1000 baht to the airport.

You get approval from the mods after you buy them some sticky rice and mango and take them to Windmill, offering to buy some lady drinks.

There are quite a few companies that provide this service. I used Cherry's Taxi and it was 1000 thb from my hotel in Pattaya to BKK.

My experience with crime in Thailand for what it's worth.

1) I was pickpocketed by a ladyboy. I was out walking about 4 am and a ladyboy tried to get me to take her. I said no, she got all handy grabbing at me, not in a threatening way but uncomfortable if you don't want it. I finally got away and thirty minutes later noticed my pocket undone and about 900 thb missing.

2) A girl I took to my hotel room from a beer bar took my sandals. She said her shoes didn't work anymore or some such BS. And she had to have mine to leave. And argued to the point I said ok. I went back to her bar about 15 minutes after she left and got them back. I think she just wanted me to need to see her again so took them as a reason.

3) I've been way too drunk in the middle of night and needed bar girls to find me a taxi. They're always sweet and always help. So I've had more help then harm when drunk and stupid in Thailand.

I agree, I never had safety issue with street walkers on beach road. The worst problem I had were some bad and rushed rooms.

[Christian G]

I've been with literally hundreds of streetwalkers from Beach Road, and never had a single thing missing or anything else untoward happening.

Good info in general, but this is just prejudice and hearsay. I've been with literally hundreds of streetwalkers from Beach Road, and never had a single thing missing or anything else untoward happening.

Besides that, you do not have to take them to your room. You can go to a short time room or love motel as well. Never a problem with a Thai BR chick. Took a Western Asian one once, and she thought I was about to pay her first though. Out the door in the rain she went.

[Crocodilexp]

* streetwalkers: On beach road as from sunset, streetwalkers are available. For a newbie, I advise against using their services. They are dirt cheap, but you have to take them to your room and it has been known that they sometimes leave your room with some of your belongings. It is of course always advisable to put your belongings out of sight.

Good info in general, but this is just prejudice and hearsay. I've been with literally hundreds of streetwalkers from Beach Road, and never had a single thing missing or anything else untoward happening. They are great value, no bullshit (unlike some bars, coyotes, "massages" and whatnot) so if you see the one you like, go for it.

Don't be drunk, avoid girls who appear high or drunk, easy as that. I don't have cash or gold laying around, but if they wanted to nick a 1000 baht from my wallet while I'm taking a shower they easily could have, but nobody ever did. Some sessions are not as good as others and a handful of them I had to cut short with minimal token payment for various reasons, but that's par for the course.

The only time I got drugged and robbed was when picking up an ostensible "civilian" on Khao San Road.

3. Cellular Service. Thailand has good cell service and their plans are dirt cheap. Many Thai hotels have lousy WiFi, don't count on that. I use my expensive USA cell plan for the day of arrival, but after sleeping I take a walk to a nearby mall and find a cellular service store and buy a SIM card. In February 2020 a DTAC SIM card, 200 minutes of calling, and 10 GB of data was under 500 baht. I exhausted my 200 minutes, but it was easy to go to a local 7-11 to increase my minutes for about 100 baht. Bring with you a SIM tool and small envelope for your original SIM card, they are easy to lose. You will need to be the person to switch from your Thai SIM to your home SIM. There are cell phone stores at the airport, but upon arrival I'm too tired to deal with that stuff.

4. Taxi Service. Highly available in all tourist areas. The driver will probably try to negotiate a fixed price to get you from point A to B, don't do it. Insist that he use the meter, which will save you substantial money. By my USA standards, Thai taxis are a nice experience in terms of car condition, driver attitude, and price. Thailand may have Uber, I haven't used it. People have written about Grab service, but I haven't tried them. BKK airport has multiple levels for transportation, the standard taxis are one level lower than limos, etc. If going from BKK airport to a Sukhumvit area hotel, expect the taxi driver to request cash for 2 (?) tolls along the way as you go through toll booths. The price to pay him will be displayed on the meter when you arrive at your hotel.

All great info.

For the cell phone, they only want to switch the sim themselves, right? I would obviously want to keep my main sim with me. I get to keep it, correct?

Thanks again.

And as an aside, how long until I can post without moderator approval? Curious.

[HorseTrader]

Wow. I ask for a tiny bit of help and you went out of your way to flood me with all that info. Thank you very much Wolvenvacht and Banana!

I'm thinking I am going to go either later this year, or early next. Just depends when things reopen and quarantine is restricted. I do have a few more general questions, if you could.

How easy is it to get around speaking only English? From what I've seen, most people have a decent grasp of it and I won't be SOL if I have to ask directions.

Where would I change money? At the hotel, or do they have ATMs? Related, should I be bringing cash in USD, or would using a credit card work for getting / changing money better? (I think money is so-so, it puts a hard limit on what I spend for playtime but it always comes with the risk of traveling with it.).

What about cellular service? Do airports have a place I can buy a local sim card for data? I'm opposed to spending money on roaming for my plan, as on my trip to the DR I only used mobile data for google voice translate and I used under 1 gb the whole week trip.

Taxis, from my understanding they have Uber there, and I should be fine getting around with that, yea?

Thank you gentleman again on this. I greatly appreciate it.

Good newbie questions, I've added a couple other things at the end that you didn't ask.

1. English Only. If you stick to the tourist areas, you will find plenty of people that speak English. I've only left tourist areas a couple of times and language barrier wasn't easy, but also wasn't a disaster.

2. Money Exchange. Tourist areas are overloaded with cash exchange places. For US Dollars, you will get better exchange rate if you bring $100 bills. A friend told me that sometimes they insist on newish bills. My main source of cash is the ATM. I bring 2 cards, just in case one of them screws up. Many banks charge a fortune for foreign ATMs and also have lousy exchange rates. I recommend Fidelity because it has no foreign ATM fees, it reimburses the local Thai ATM fee, and has a very good exchange rate. I'm told Charles Schwab has the same deal. Perhaps your investment house has something good. Be sure to set up for Thai ATMs before you leave home. I do bring some cash, just in case the ATMs don't work. Always have a backup to your backup. Get some Thai cash at the airport, the BKK airport has many ATM machines (I can't remember if they are at the luggage claim level or lower with the taxis. Be sure to have Thai cash for the taxi.

3. Cellular Service. Thailand has good cell service and their plans are dirt cheap. Many Thai hotels have lousy WiFi, don't count on that. I use my expensive USA cell plan for the day of arrival, but after sleeping I take a walk to a nearby mall and find a cellular service store and buy a SIM card.

The price to pay him will be displayed on the meter when you arrive at your hotel.

5. Credit Cards - Most substantial businesses in Thailand accept credit cards. I doubt the little businesses do (e.g., food carts). Be sure to pre-arrange with your bank so your card is accepted. For my credit cards, exchange rates and surcharges are really bad. I've never tried my credit card in an ATM for cash, but supposedly it will work. I use my credit card only for airplanes and some hotels.

6. Hotel Payments - I use Hotels.com for advanced reservations and pay in my country's currency. Sometimes AGODA has better rates. If I'm going to a privately owned resort or hotel, I negotiate my rate based on cash payment, this saves some money since I get better exchange rate through ATM with Fidelity than I do with my credit card. The hotel operator also might give a better rate for cash.

7. Exchanging your Thai Currency for Home Currency - This is best to do at the BKK airport on your way home. The exchange rate is actually very good as the money exchange place is happy to sell their foreign currency at higher price than they can get elsewhere. The cash exchange place is in the baggage check area on the extreme right side (as viewed from where the taxi drops you off).

Gentlemen,

I am wondering if there is any kind of a detailed how-to guide for visiting Thailand for mongering. Something that covers arrival in the airport to how to find your way around. The closest thing I have found to this is a site called 'kingepic' which has a bunch of detailed video guides / docs, but the joining fee for that is quite high, and I can't find anyone vouching for that site (except for on the site itself).

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Now is not the best time to visit Thailand for mongering. Access to Thailand is still very restricted, many bars and clubs are still closed and most working girls are still in their villages upcountry.

But, assuming things turn (more) normal in the coming months, mongering in Thailand is like shooting fish in a barrel.


From the airport, either take a taxi or the bus to Pattaya. The bus is very cheap but requires a bit more knowledge to get there. A taxi is about USD 50. Make sure you exchange some money at the airport: USD 100 should do the trick. You can exchange more money later in Pattaya at far better rates.

Book a hotel in Pattaya (using the usual suspects such as booking.com or agoda.com) on Beach Road or Second Road and you will be at walking distance of all the fun. Unless you go for the posh and expensive international chain hotels, you are almost guaranteed to find a "girl friendly" hotel as long as you book a room for 2 persons. If you want to be sure send the hotel an email and ask about their "joiner policy". Good chance they will allow your girlfriend-of-the-hour to visit you without any extra fee to be paid.

What fun is there to be had? Let's start from easy:

* Massage parlours. These are a great way to get introduced to Thailand. Look for a small massage shop, with a few women sitting outside and having curtained beds inside. There are literally hundreds of these shops everywhere. Choose a lady to your liking, or just walk in and you get the first one that is free. They will quote you a price for the massage. Choose "oil massage" for one hour. That gives you both a good massage and some time for the happy ending. Go to a curtained bed, fully undress and lie down on your stomach. When the lady joins you, ask her to undress too and what extras she does. A hand job or a blow job is almost always on the menu. About 500 baht for a hand job and less than 1000 baht for a blow job should be about right. Full sex may be available too, but usually not on the curtained beds. Some shops have rooms upstairs for that kind of fun, but there are better places for full sex. Massage starts with your legs, arms, back and neck. Then she will say "please turn over" and you turn on your back. She probably has already been teasing your jewels during the first part of the massage, so you should show your appreciation for her efforts by sporting a nice erection. Just lie back and relax, she knows how to deal with that. If she is naked too, you can fondle her or just admire her. At the end, get a shower, get dressed, pay her what you agreed and pay the shop for the massage.

* Soi 6 bars: Soi 6 is the famous side street full of bars and girls. Use google maps to have a look. If you haven't been there, you will be surprised. Hundreds of girls line the street, sitting in front of their bar and calling you in. Find one to your liking, go inside the bar, buy her and yourself a drink and before you know it she will ask to go to the room upstairs. Price for "suck and fuck" should be about 1000 baht and a few hundred baht to the bar for the room. Go upstairs with her, undress, shower (very important! Always shower because Thai girls are generally very clean and don't like sweaty foreigners) and enjoy your new-found girlfriend. Those visits are strictly a one-shot affair. You enter, you cum, you pay, you leave. Please note that it is usual to pay AFTER she serviced you. If she was particularly nice, you can give her a little tip but tipping is not something Thai people expect. Especially in restaurants, you don't tip. They may find it even insulting.

* beer bars: This is the next level. These are open bars you find also almost everywhere. If you see a lot of unaccompanied ladies sitting idle in a bar, you are at the right spot. Here you have to work a little harder. Make some eye contact with the lady you fancy, buy her a drink (the so-called "lady drink" which is twice as expensive as your drink because she gets a commission fee on it), chat her up a little and before long she will ask to come to your room or you can ask if she wants to join you in your room. Negotiate a price for either "short time" which is about 2 hours maximum or "long time" which is the whole night. Prices vary depending on the bar, her looks, how desperate for money she is and a host of other factors nobody has ever been able to understand. 2000 baht should be sufficient for "short time". "Long time" is anything above that. But I have had times I got one for 1500 baht the whole night and at other times I couldn't get a "short time" for less than 3000 baht. No problem. You will also have to pay the bar a "bar fine" (about 500 baht) to be allowed to take her to your place. The "bar fine" is usually non-negotiable. If you cannot agree on a price, just finish your drink, say goodbye and go to another bar. 1000 of other ladies are waiting for you. Don't try your luck with another lady in the same bar. That is bad form. ALWAYS negotiate clearly what you want. Standard is suck & fuck, but if you want anything beyond that, ask her before you cut the deal. Don't be shy, she has heard (and done) it all already.

* agogo bars. These are essentially up-market beer bars. They are not open to the street as the beer bars, but inside. Inside the ladies dance naked or scantily clad, but the routine is essentially the same as in a beer bar, just more expensive. For the price of a few drinks, you can just sit inside and ogle the flesh. If you call a lady over (they have numbered tags to make it easy to call them) and pay her a lady drink, you may perhaps even play a little with her and feel her up. Otherwise: see the beer bar routine explained above.

* streetwalkers: On beach road as from sunset, streetwalkers are available. For a newbie, I advise against using their services. They are dirt cheap, but you have to take them to your room and it has been known that they sometimes leave your room with some of your belongings. It is of course always advisable to put your belongings out of sight.

Have fun!

Go to the AseanNow site and ask whatever you want to know that is non sex related. You will get accurate answers from the moderators there like UbonJoe. All the information you want to know is on that site.

Things change daily in Thailand. If you read something today about Visas etc that doesn't mean it will be the same rules if you fly out a month from now.

[BionicMan]

80%+ protection against severe version of the illness and 90%+ protection against death compared to unvaccinated people. I fail to see how it would be "almost like she's not vaccinated" unless she only had 1 dose in which case she'd not yet be vaccinated.

Sinovac is 60/65% efficient, Chinese authorities have admitted. "Western" vaccines are in between 85 and 95% depending o vaccine, individual, number of doses etc.

Yes and that article doesn't say unlike what you claimed that being vaccined with this vaccine is the same as not being vaccined at all.

It just says that non mRNA vaccines are less effective against the Delta Variant in terms of preventing contamination.

Yet the main purpose of the vaccine isn't to prevent the transmission from happening (its does lower it and it also lowers the amount of contaminated people with symptoms), but to give your immunity system weapons to fight the virus and lower signeficantly the risk of being hospitalised with a severe covid (80%+) and to prevent death (90%+).

So yeah as long as people don't have access to mRNA vaccines such as Pfizer / Moderna or if they are worried of not knowing the long term effects of mRNA vaccines (not my worry but many people do) it is still much better to take a classic vaccine such as the chinese ones which have been approved by WHO and procure already serious protection against severe illness and death than not being vaccined at all. Same goes for Astra Zeneca despite its bad reputation, it saved much more people than the rare side effects which killed 1 to 2 people every million people who got injected.
