Pattaya Reports

[Huevonn]

Took a taxi with a crazy driver who made it in an hour! 1000 bhat.

Checked out the Flipper Hotel but found it dumpy for 1200 so checked out the Pattaya Queen around the corner and got a great romm, very large quiet air con for 800, I thnk it is normally double that.

Yes curfew is in effect but there were a few ladies around and at least near the hotel the beer bars were empty mostly with a few ladies in the shadows.

Some places had the shutters half open and a few cusomers inside. Went to one and had a couple of drinks with a very pretty spinner, a 9 in my books who spode perfect English. Took her out for 1500 overnight and 300 BF.

She was very sexy and really aimed to please but I didn't feel the connection. Two very difficult pops, one at night and then the morning breakfast.

I'm not sure if the Thai lady thing is going to work for me, I love the Latina passion, the Thais seem kind of hollow in comparison.

I'm going to get outa dodge as soon as I can- head to Kho Samui or maybe Sihanoukville in the opposite direction.

[Pattaya Tim]

If he is not around in a few months, to grab a chang pitcher with you & hit the Walking Street, I should still be here.

Thanks SM, sounds like a plan. If PTY is as busy as you bloakes say, I may hit LOS after all, once curfew is lifted.

This curfew thing might not be so bad after all. Bring an Isaan honey back to your room by 8 pm for ST then... "sorry tirak, you can't go out until sunrise".

Thanks Thaksin!

Thanks to all your bloakes for the on the spot reporting... Tiger 888, Primo Bolan, Dominos Dick, Saint Mint, DG69, Doppel One, Run Mann, Breaknkng, Redfield10, Ekspat. It was a grand help to know what's going on for real.

Be careful and get out of there. We will live to be punters another day, it's not worth getting injured!

Breaknkng, I would love to meet up with you, but it doesn't look like i will be going in the midst of this mess. In a few months, we'll grab a chang pitcher and hit walking street, i promise.

No problem Pattaya Tim. Curfew has just kicked in again. I'm in for the night with a crate of Heineken. Breaknkng plans to be here for a long weekend at the end of May, to write his long awaited first mongering report. If he is not around in a few months, to grab a chang pitcher with you & hit the Walking Street, I should still be here.

Went to the airport today and am back in Hong Kong. The bus ride was no problem at all (The bus from Jomtien, took 90 minutes). Just called a friend in Pattaya and heard that the curfew stared at 9pm again.

[Amjeck]

Soi 6 is packed with punters. Business as usual down here.

[Doppel One]

Latest reports indicate that the curfew will remain in place in Pattaya for another three nights. Thats Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

The logic of enforcing a nightly curfew is sound: restrict assembly and prevent the unrest from spreading. So while its a bore, I'm all in favour.

Let's hope this time next week everything will be back to normal!

At least in Patters you can get a decent takeaway to keep one's spirits up.

[Run Mann]

Quite likely that the curfew will continue tonight and perhaps into the weekend and beyond. All quiet on the western front right now, Maybe the calm before the storm?

[Droppinfuknloads]

I hope everything gets better in 7 days. I already spent too much money for this trip. If I cancel this trip, I might die(inside).

[Mr Enternational]

Please keep posting up to date information, coverage in NEWS is not good. I am planning to cancel my trip next month, but would decided next month depending upon how things are reported here and other forums.

Ditto. I had just decided today to go to Pats in 2 weeks. If you guys at ground zero don't report anything positive I will have to divert to a less favorable destination.

No access to ATMs for the next 2 days they say.

I heard a curfew will be imposed tonight in Pattaya too and that the banks will be shut for three days. Having said that I just used an ATM to withdraw funds, so they're still working (lets hope the same can be said for the girls).

[Tiger 888]

The Curfew seems over for now, Minimart is open, street vendors out, at least where I am. There is a thread about the curfew on Thaivisa, where one of the menbers has a police radio and no major incidents were reported as I read. Mainly rumours it seems.

I will get the hell out of here today. Things are too unpredictible.

[Primo Bolan]

Take it easy, things can only be worse.

[Dominos Dick]

Hey guys,

I just received sms from one of my girls in Pattaya stating about the spread of the the BKK problem to Pattaya and that I shouldn't come to Thailand now. Checked the forum and am shocked to learn the gravity of the situation. This is really getting worse and resembling a banana republic type case except if it prolongs for long what will happen to the hundreds of starving bananas that we are?

God help Thailand.
