I think a few days on the coast chilled out sounds really nice but the whole reason for seeking advice was to ask you guys on the ground and for Mr E (clearly one of the most senior and respected posters in the Thai forums) to take the view that Hua Hin has little to offer, is a worry.

I went with my girl because I wanted beaches. Maybe I was expecting too much. Also keep in mind that I did rent a car when we were there so I drove all around the place. My main reason was to go to the beach on the military base in Prachuap Khiri Khan that was supposed to be so good. Different strokes for different folks and you won't know if you never go. I noticed a world of difference from the people you see in Pattaya and the Thai tourists I saw in Hua Hin. None of those people had tattoos!

A question for senior members who know Thailand very well.

I have an upcoming week only in beautiful Thailand.

Previously been to Banglok many times, Koh Samui, Phuket many times, Pattaya several times etc. Never been to Hua Hin or other islands.

I have only 1 week and fly into Bangkok where I have one business meeting. So that ensures one night in town and I fly out of BKK so that leaves 5 other nights. What would senior guys recommend? I wanted to go to both Pattaya and Hua Hin but they stopped the ferry so a long trip from one to the other. Would you guys do more nights in BKK or all 5 in either of Huan Hin or Pattaya or a mix? Want to avoid loads of flights.

Hua Hin is excellent and worth the effort.

You won't find gogos or soapies.

You will find great small bar and massage areas, plus a hidden away late night area.

I live in Phuket, and love it, I am happy visiting Bangkok, and detest Pattaya.

Yet I am comfortable and relaxed whenever I am in Hua Hin.

I was in Udon Thani recently, and was struck by the number of elderly Farangs accompanied by much younger Thai ladies.

Since I am a firm believer in the 3 day rule, I can't imagine living with a Thai lady who is only in it for money. Actually, I did for a couple of months last year, during Covid. I kicked her out for whining about her Thai boyfriend all the time.

The exception is travel, I will go with a Thai lady abroad for a while. Being away from Thailand changes their perspective.

This is really informative thanks. Obviously a different take to Mr Enternational who doesn't rate Hua Hin. I have done Pattaya before but oddly didn't really like Walking street much. Not sure why as I like Phuket / Bangla Rd and Koh Samui but then in BKK I prefer Soi Cowboy, Therme and even Hilary (pool bar) to Nana. I just wanted to try somewhere new but from BKK without a flight the options are not great. Last time I did this I ended up flying all over (Phnom Penh / HCMC / KL / Sing) and felt exhausted and wondered if I should just have picked one or two places. A hint that I am getting older! I found myself using the soapies in Pattaya more than the nightlife albeit with one unforgettable night. I think a few days on the coast chilled out sounds really nice but the whole reason for seeking advice was to ask you guys on the ground and for Mr E (clearly one of the most senior and respected posters in the Thai forums) to take the view that Hua Hin has little to offer, is a worry.

The ferry would have made my mind up to go to both. I don't want to waste an entire day travelling in a car (be it 5 hours as Mr E suggests, or 8 in your experience). Wondering if I could get a private taxi boat but then equally don't want to risk some dodgy boat cutting out in the middle of the ocean! It's not about the cost for me. It's about the time. There are no direct flights.

Which leads me to a final question if you both don't mind: leaving aside Pattaya and Hua Hin completely, are there any other destinations you would have suggested to go to instead of either? Thanks for the help. Greatly appreciated.

I have been through Hua Hin a few times and there really isn't much there. Pattaya and Bangkok have such a huge variety Hua Hin really doesn't compare and as you said it is a bit of a hike there and not much in between. I personally would not like to get there via water taxi, the chance of being ill is high. A big ferry would be fine but as you said you would lose a day.

Apart from Pattaya and Bangkok I would suggest Phuket. The Island is beautiful and there are plenty of options.

The difference between Hua Hin and Pattaya are like night and day. Hua Hin is much more laid back and quiet. There is a night live scene and plenty of bars to hang out in. In May I had the same plans as you and chose to go to Hua Hin first. Never made it to Pattaya. I liked Hua HIn and decided to stay there. But that was me. I am a 67 year old man who has had a very stressful couple of years. I found plenty of companionship in Hua Hin and enjoyed the peace and quiet. If you want peace and quiet then go to Hua Hin. If you want lots of nightlife and an endless selection of women then go to Pattaya. The trip to Hua Hin is about 4 hours by car or bus. Once there you are looking at an 8 hour trip to Pattaya.

I am a handful or years behind you. Same story. Since March 2020 I never missed a day of work and reported to the office every day. Understaffed and lots to BUT I got shit done and now it is decompression time in Thailand for two weeks. Currently in Samui with a nice girl. Just give me peace and quiet and an Isan girl. Life is good!

P.S. Always admired Jackie Sherrill.

Ain't shit in Hua Hin. I certainly would not waste it there. I don't think there are any flights to avoid. I think the drive from Pattaya to Hua Hin was like 5 hours and cost me 2500 baht in a private car.

Haha can't be real. Anyways, if a girl is advertising COF, that means you can cum on her face, but you'll probably be asked to aim for her mouth. Not because she doesn't do it, but because if you nut all over her face she has to redo her makeup, and thai girls don't like to have to do that, takes them a lot of time.

Noted to myself hehe. Just curiosity though. I don't think I'll do it, ever. Better experience other things like 3 sm maybe.

[GrapeMan]

I noticed there are escorts in smooci with a tag: COF (cum on face). Did anyone try it?

Also, I have high velocity shots, will it be a problem?

Any suggestions on how to aim will be appreciated. Can't find any instructions on the internet.

I'm not into that kind of stuff, but there is a clinic? On the Corner of Pattaya Klang and 3rd Road down from Big see Extra, you can take a Songthaw on Soi Buakhao to Pattaya Klang for 10 baht.

Hi.

Anyone know where I can get a Testosterone injection in Pattaya.

I understand the cost is 8000 baht.

I am staying in Soi Diana. So getting there from my hotel would be helpful.

Thanks.

TC.

There is a pharmacy on Beach Road very close to Tim's Bar / Tahitian Queen gogo where you can buy the test vials and syringes at a reasonable price. I'm sure the pharmacist would jab you for a tip if you aren't comfortable doing it yourself.

Note that I visited this pharmacy preCovid. Can't verify it still exists.

Testosterone is not something to be played with unless you have proper medical supervision and testing. At a minimum, get your testosterone level checked in advance and learn what the numbers mean. If you continue to use it, other things become a concern.

For self administration, there are expensive daily gels, which are very simple. You can also get vials of testosterone and syringes for bi-weekly self injection. The urologist may also inject some longer life testosterone or maybe give you implants that last about 90 days.

That 8000 baht price tag sounds like implanted pellets. The self injected testosterone from a vial should be much less expensive (maybe 1500 baht for a 6-month supply).
