Pattaya Reports

[XXL]

On average, Thailand has twice as many holidays as Western Europe. In Thailand if a holiday falls on a week-end, it gets compensated on a week-day. Not so usually in Europe: if a holiday falls on a Saturday or a Sunday, you're out of luck. So much for Thailand being a country with low labour costs where workers get exploited.

The manager of the Flirt bar on Soi 6 was arrested by the police for human trafficking. Like giving out speeding tickets during the Indianapolis 500.

I believe its a Nightwish bar, if so, very strange.

Many countries in asia are the same and same in western europe. Not all countries flog their slaves and then give nothing in return. Aka USA. It's actually heartening to see.

When it comes to Thailand they have so many holidays I think if it was possible they would celebrate a buffaloe taking a shit. I have a Thai calendar of 30% each month seems a day has a red marking meaning some type of event or holiday. Even Thais don't have a clue what is coming.

Then you got Pattaya, it is all about the tourist so who knows every weekend there is something going on some event down the beach road. Of course, bring them in even the Thais complain about the traffic on Pattaya Watch, too many buses, nowhere to park, etc etc. Traffic jams because someone decides I'm not walking park ends up blocking the whole Soi, they even wonder where is the police and why nothing is done. According to the new mayor who ran he will change everything but only from wearing a T-Shirt to custom-made shirts now with all the money he is pocketing. His claim is that all the contracts handed out to these contractors aren't fulfilling their commitments and their citizens are so used to being dumped on they actually believe it.

Then all I know is right after Songkran it still isn't low season until Asia " Golden Week is over " not sure it has come and gone but places like Bacarra, Happy are packed with Asian.

Hold on Somchai another meme about Bargirls goes poof.

Sexy Bar Livestream. Pattaya Soi Made. I think.

Sales with full cast of characters, meaning pretty much Arisa is there, I counted 1 data point $500.

Last night she wasnt there sales of $150.

Even when she is there $500 can't be that much. It's gross, what goes to each lady can't be much.

I'm just not onboard withe the meme Livestream are making the girls Fat and Wealthy.

Could I be wrong. Sure. Hahaha.

I agree, they are everywhere right now, I hear them in all the hotels I've been to (both Bkk and Pattaya), in the bus from Ekkamai, in the restaurants too.

The holiday started last Saturday and will last until the 5th. Monday was the official "Labor Day" or workers day in China, but they try to make all of these big holidays so the public has time to travel back home. Hong Kong only had a single day (May 1), as they do not observe all of the same holidays in the same way as the mainland.

Not exactly sure where they are from majority Mainland Chinese or Hong Kong? Earlier I've run into groups some slip and start talking Cantonese which usually hints from Hong Kong or Southern China although the main language is Mandarin now. These aren't groups you low spenders but are well off, a few months back in January I ran into a bunch of them at Immigration getting extensions. I run into a few on the Darkside even in my wife's roadside restaurant I see signs the way they come across that those are the grey business many here doing illegal activities.

I run into them in small groups at High Roller, Bacarra, Peppermint, XS, Palace, and Pin Up, even before Covid many were at Bacarra. What is missing in the conversation is I've run into groups of Vietnamese on the Darkside too. There was a time I was mistaken for Korean or Japanese even local Thai for some reason after Covid I'm getting asked more if Chinese and when I tell them I'm not from the mainland but made in the USA A they crack up. I've even get spoken to in English more at 7/11 and other stores wondering why they speaking English to me since I'm mistaken for a Thai. Recently I was given change and the girl spoke in English the teller next to her said why are you speaking English to a Thai guy? Then the girl spoke in Thai " are you Thai " I just smiled.

Maybe they are here for the Durian it is in season?

I wouldn't call myself smart. Hahaha. I don't have much insight into traffic patterns.

I chose that time because arrive in BKK lunch time. Finish lunch usually can check into hotel an hour or 2 early.

Depending on the holiday forgot to mention you don't want to take the bus to Bangkok after a major holiday for example Christmas and New Year a few years back big mistake got to the station and the backup to Ekamai was for hours for the next bus. Lucky traveling alone allows you as the bus is finished loading tell the lady you alone and if sit is available for one will allow you on if no one else is ahead and answer to the one rider call.

There are lots of Chinese in town but they don't translate into the nightlife.

It's because you (smartly) departed Pattaya nice and early on the final day of a 3-day weekend. If you leave before 11 am you can usually avoid the worst of holiday weekend traffic, even at New Years / Songkran (you'll also avoid having to wait a long time for vacant bus seat). Having enjoyed a leisurely lunch I (stupidly) left Jomtien at 3:15 pm that day so I caught the worst of it. Better to leave early in the day or super early (5 am) the day after a holiday weekend, I think, to avoid huge traffic jams.

Once you are in the beach road or 2nd area it isn't as bad if you actually have to navigate the traffic yourself. Personally, the traffic getting into town has been worse than pre-covid. A week ago at T-21, there were close to 10 buses parked inside each side closing off the driveway into the parking lot to one lane. There are lots of Chinese in town but they don't translate into the nightlife.

I've been using the Ekamai bus from Pattaya Nua for close to 15 years and always found it to be good not once had I had a crazy driver look at their history I could only remember one accident being on the news. For the price even today 131 is a bargain to Bangkok. Majority of the time I tell the attendant to get off at Udom Suk and walk up to the BTS 40 baht. I'm to Nana in minutes reason on weekdays the Bus once into Sukhumvit takes a good 30 minutes to the station.

Returning is a bit different, if you happen to catch a bus that has residents in Chon Buri, Siracha, or Laem Chabang, the ride is a bit longer no much. Buses are in constant contact with others ahead if there is an accident or jam they are given an alternative route. So whenever I need to go in the choice is always the bus. To the airport depending on the time of flight I use Bell which now operates again out of Nua, the price has actually dropped from 250 to 190, my last time end of March they have reconfigure the seating seats bigger like first-class 6 am in the morning never happened I was the only one on the bus always max 1:25 time.

If you can avoid, the mini Van! Although operated by the same company.

Yesterday. Monday. Pattaya bus station to Ekkakmai. Left Pattaya 9. 25 am.

Arrived Ekkami in under 2 hours. The Bus Driver was not speeding or weaving in and out of Traffick.

Why is my experience with traffic so unlike others. Weird.

Topic of non discussion. Desire Bar on Soy 6.

I commented to a never been to Desire Bar that the actual downstairs bar is Khrap. He probably thought it was decked up like Livestream area and stocked with Hot girls.

A moderator said I was trolling. Hahaha.

Was I? Anyone been to Desire during Prime Time hours?

Please Opine.

I had 2 ladies at my condo yesterday, and they doubleteamed me on the sofa. One lady gave me a blowjob, the other mounted my mouth for pussylicking. But, she had an unusual pussy. She was a low pressure squirter. Rather than shooting water, she pulsed it out, almost like some women secrete pussy juice inside in waves. It took me a few pulses to understand what she was doing.

Of course, she claimed she finished, but squirting doesn't mean cumming, it just means her pussy is lubricating itself. I didn't sense any sign that she came.

Traffic was crazy this past weekend and it likely seems quieter now I think because everyone (meaning Thai / local tourists) went home after the long weekend, and it's now officially low season for international tourists. Driving home Monday May 1 took twice as long as it normally does. Hell, it took me 30 minutes just to get to highway 7 (main highway back to Bangkok) and then another 2. 5 hours to get to the eastern part of Bangkok.

Just a quick note that Thursday May 4 is another holiday here in Thailand, and I expect many will take another long weekend this coming weekend (despite Friday not being an official holiday). As well, advance polls for the election are this coming Sunday so my understanding is that there will be the usual bar closing / alcohol ban from 6 pm Saturday May 6 to 6 pm Sunday May 7. The same thing will be repeated next weekend (closing at 6 pm on Saturday May 13 until 6 pm Saturday May 14), as May 14 is the actual election date. This will be throughout Thailand, not just in Pattaya, so you can plan accordingly.
