Pattaya Reports

[Ebauche]

Nice to hear. I'm coming back next week.

Wingman & I will be in Jomtien next week.

Anyone on the ground in Pattaya right now?

Can you tell me what is the weather looking like? Is it raining too much to even go out?

I have been here for about 1,5 weeks now and the weather has been nice.

Only 1 shower during daytime so far, which lasted less than an hour. A few thunderstorms during the night, early morning last week that waked you up.

So I went out with two sisters who came down from Isaan. One was very drunk and was grabbing me and generally being annoying.

She reported Covid symptoms two days later.

So I went out with her sister last night. Today, she bailed from work after an hour, she has Covid.

Fortunately, I have 7 vaccinations, so I might be okay.

Acyclovir does not prevent herpes transmission. It only helps reduce the severity of outbreaks....
....Hate to say this, but it is also because of this kind of willy nilly pill popping and abuse of antivirals and antibiotics that there are stuff like super (resistant) gonorrhea. Play it safe folks.

Thank you for this reminder. I'm quite amazed at drug beliefs, I sometimes have the impression of seeing people evolve in parallel universes.

A 2 minutes search on the net turns up this:

For instance:

"An antibiotic resistant STI.

Treatment of gonorrhea requires treatment with antibiotic drugs that are effective against gonococcus. The World Health Organization (WHO) is currently concerned about a worldwide increase in gonococcal infections resistant to antibiotics conventionally prescribed for the treatment of gonorrhea. Indeed, as part of the gonorrhea surveillance program, many countries report bacterial strains resistant to antibiotics:

- 97% of countries report resistance to ciprofloxacin (fluoroquinolone);.

- 81% resistance to azithromycin (macrolide);.

- 66% resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins, such as cefixime or ceftriaxone, antibiotics of last resort against gonococcus.

Some countries are even detecting infections that no known antibiotic can treat. ".

We wonder which countries....

We should make a compilation of all grandmother's recipes to avoid STIs mentioned in the posts. It would be really funny if it wasn't so serious.

How much are the cheapest girls there? I met a chick on Thai Friendly that works in Honey 2 and I pay her 1000 baht when she comes over. It is definitely impossible for her to regularly make more than 1000 or she would not come to me for only 1000 according to other posters. She must be wasting her time in that place from 5 pm to 1 am everyday.

Like someone just mentioned, the cheapest at Honey 2 is 2400 baht IIRC.

I guess they work at Honey for continuity and some certainty of business apart from the individual requests they get on Thai friendly which helps with their overall income. The so called models are the costliest at around 4200 baht.

Tinder Woman: ST cost quoted from 2 women were 1200 baht. 1 woman quoted ST for 2000 baht. Two women from Beach road quoted 1000 baht ST after walking home from the club (330 a). Replica clothing: Best spots in my experience in terms of quality fabric / weight and price can be found at 1: Just Fashion (on walking street). 2. Pattaya Night Bazaar (stall B19) and 3. Mikes Mall (can be accessed from Second road / Beach road). Money Exchange: Not all money exchanges are equal. 1. TT Exchange is the most common seen (yellow and black in color) as of today I saw 2 TT Exchanges with the same rates at 35:43 but they do and will vary. Damani money exchange is located near walking street (Soi 13/2 or 13/3 area) has been equal to and / or greater than TT exchange by a penny or two. Advertisements can be seen on the baht buses. You will experience a lower exchange rates at TT money exchange in Pattaya IF you change twenty dollar bills vs fifties and hundreds. So, exchanging fifties and hundreds will get you the going rate and exchanging twenties will get you a lower rate. Expect to be asked for a passport or other form of ID in order to exchange money. Most will allow the exchange if you forgot the ID or if your passport is with immigration or if you have your own photocopy. Clubs: 808 is a located on walking street, been their three times and it was busy and crowded in the club which can be found upstairs. Soft hip hop mixed with electronica. Some of the highest spirit prices in town (Gin and tonic 240 baht). The bottom is a chill spot that offers live music and chairs / couches that offer seating right on the street for people watching and some fresh air when needed. Flexx club is located on walking street near the end on the left side just after a Mcdonalds. Its an after hours spot open late until 7 a. Best time is after 330 a. Been their four times and the crowds were small. As you enter the bar is to your left. Pool table is to your right. Seating is setup along both walls with small round tables and seating in the middle. Dance floor near the DJ booth and I believe VIP seating and bottle service is in the area with / around the DJ. Did not ask about cost. Insomnia / Ibar. Its setup up like a long rectangle that has been split in half with the Ibar on the left and the niteclub on the right. The upstairs niteclub has been closed off. (Gin and tonic 150 baht). Its situated in 3 parts. The front entrance has a bar to the left and a pool table. The front and the middle are the areas where mostly groups / dates are drinking and dancing although there is no official dance floor downstairs. The back area has adequate round tables for sitting, a bar and a view of the water. Those fresh night time breezes are great. This club and this area is where I have found success in having small talk with the ladies, being offered a drink and receiving attention from the FL. (They have looked in my direction, they have sat at my table, they have stood next to me table, they have said Hello, they have not asked me outright to buy them a drink). Bottle service of the Thai local whisky called Sangsem 750 ML (I believe?) and soda water is typical. Cost for this bottle service is unknown. I di not ask. Eats: Cheap Charlies: full english (menu as B1) (real sausage). Cost 119 baht. Stir fried vegetables with shrimp. Cost 99 baht (menu as TH17) Kiss Food and Drinks (2nd road, next to the Edge hotel / Condominium) Chow Soy (located on Soi pothole / Soi Chayapoon). Chicken khadpro cost 119 baht. Cost with rice 139 baht. Nice staff and food. Electrolyte Powders: Can be found at the local pharmacies from 7-9 baht. I usually get the powder drink that say sport electrolyte drink to stay hydrated as the sun / heat will suck you dry. In 7/11 and family mart you could also try POCARI SWEAT. Cost 30 baht. I first got hip to POCARI SWEAT in the Philippines. Here in Thailand I have not found the big bottles of POCARI SWEAT only the small ones.

Hope the information was helpful.

You coming around Bro. If she were making Coin at Honey no reason to see you.

Why do the girls who get very few action do it. Who knows.

Atmospheric can't be that much of a Pull if you not making money.

Acyclovir does not prevent herpes transmission. It only helps reduce the severity of outbreaks. Also things like Prep or PEP are not to be treated lightly. These things if taken without proper tests can F up your kidneys and liver. As a doctor once told me, with HIV you can survive many years, even decades if you take proper antiretroviral therapy, but if your kidneys are gone, then adios.

Hate to say this, but it is also because of this kind of willy nilly pill popping and abuse of antivirals and antibiotics that there are stuff like super (resistant) gonorrhea. Play it safe folks.

Small correction. Acyclovyr (and Valcyclovyr) taken by an infected person will reduce the chance of herpes transmission to the uninfected partner. But it doesn't work in reverse. It doesn't stop an uninfected person from getting herpes from an infected partner. I generally agree with what you say but I do take a 1 g Azithromycin after a trip to clear up the most common bacterial infections.

This week, Low Season hit hard. There is definitely a shortage of customers, although the top places are still crowded. This year, Low Season hit just as the number of ladies coming to Pattaya is rising.

I am getting numerous pings from ladies looking for customers, even those who have been booked up since early this year.

Historically, Low Season is the best time to come to Pattaya, in terms of availability of ladies. Things should be quiet until September, when the gradual uptick in arrivals happens.

Nice to hear. I'm coming back next week.

However, the "go with the flow" approach also carries significant downside risk. One could spend thousands of baht in barfines and other hassles in pursuit of only slightly better chances of BBFS compared to simply discussing upfront. As a result, I plan to adopt the following blended strategy going forward:

Scenario 1 - The girl is so hot that I don't care or I'm out of options for the night and am going to take her regardless. My approach = don't ask about BBFS. Just go with the flow and assume she's okay with it until proven otherwise.

Scenario 2 - Includes every other situation including Thai Friendly and those where I have more time or choice. My approach = gain BBFS agreement upfront or move on.

I know this may seem like common sense and overly simplistic, but based on personal experience and some experimentation I now feel confident that this is the optimum strategy for me..

I appreciate your adding to this discussion Neidermeyer. I concur that a blended approach is optimal for securing BBFS, but also when in doubt better to just specify. If the girl is hot enough I can settle for BBJ CIM, and or if its a low bid.

I've been on a strange detour in the Philippines but will be returning to Pattaya for a month next week. Although I did not contract an STD in this beautiful, wild, country, I did come down with a brutal case of bacterial conjunctivitis that has taken me totally out of action and has taken some time to recover from. The tropics are rich incubator for a wide variety of microscopic organisms and assorted bacterium. In addition to the topical antibiotics prescribed, I will be taking oral cipro and doxycycline for the remainder of my time in SEA as a prophylaxis for STD's and other opportunistic infections.

On the subject of Prep, although I did purchase a kit a way back, but I ultimately decided against using it because of the health concerns and contra-indications previously mentioned- specifically liver damage while drinking or taking other medications. Also the pills were in large containers that did not fit neatly in my luggage. OTO, I see no harm in prophylactic doxycycline other than a reported sensitivity to sun that I have yet to experience. Sorry to the do-gooders that see this a promoting species wide bacterial resistance. I put that in the category of abstractions like global warming that are just beyond what I can care about.

With BBFS, the risk of HIV is there, but I really believe it to be much more significant if you are engaging in receptive anal play (as in from a ladyboy or other man). Penetrative sex of a woman even if with an HIV positive provider is much less risk (although obviously to be avoided with prejudice). Statistically you would need to have sex with thousands of providers and I am nowhere near that number. If you do have sex with 100+ providers, you more than likely will get Chlamydia or gonorrhea, but both of these are easy cures with azithromycin.

Anyways, I will be in Pattaya next week hopefully all healed up and look forward to adding to this discussion.

I was asked to try honey number two out. The first day I went, I chose a girl with the "tag" at about 3200 baht.

I then decided to choose one with the "V" tag at 3800 baht.

FS was great. Thanked her and tipped her a 1000 baht.

Normally docs will do a full liver and enzyme panel and before prescribing those types of meds plus review all other current medications taken with. But of course on a sex board for med advice, nobody even mentions no alcohol with them either because of the hepatic toxicity. Because it's all about the BBFS. Folks should really save the medicine talk for another place so that they don't kill anybody.
