Pattaya Reports

[Rick Rock]

One may also remember that once you get to the Pattaya station you need to deal with any luggage that you have with you, backpack / shoulder bag no be deal, but if you are traveling for a length of time you will probably have a roller bag of some size which will need to be handled until you get to your accommodation. Baht Bus maybe, but most end up having to get another taxi in Pattaya- some call the taxi mafia- which will in the long run reduce your savings by taking a bus.

If you arrange your transportation in advance with a local Taxi Service like Nam's Lady Taxi Drivers the fee is 1000 Bhat (current $28) - they meet you at the airport meeting point and take you to your door in Pattaya- overall I think it is worth it.

Absolutely.

I use a VIP taxi service. They pick me up at my gate when my plane arrives. Take me right through immigration with no line. Then into an air conditioned luxury vehicle that drives the speed I want, stops when I want, delivers me to my destination and carries my bags.

The last thing I want to do when I am on a trip is hang out in my hotel room shopping for girls on the internet. What a time consuming, boring thing to do! Get out, enjoy the nightlife, smell the sea breeze, go to Go Go's, bars, nightclubs, gentlemen clubs, Soi 6, window shop sw's; there is so much to take in. Pattaya is a truly extraordinary place, but you have to get out and mix things up. Maybe guys had no choice during the prolonged lockdown, but now you do.

Agree 1000000%.

I always have to get out and "live" the location.

Never had that problem. I have a motorbike so if the chick does not have one I am usually picking her up or going to chill at her place. Most of the time it is them bugging me about when I am coming.

That is certainly one way of solving the unpredictablity problem. Though I like comfort and safety of my hotel room.

Do you only message girls who are online on TF? As they are the once who will reply instantly and can come in next 30 minutes.

Tonight, I am planning something special, a lady I know who lusts after busty ladies when she is drunk. So, she will come to the condo to drink, and when she is ready, we will go to some gogo and I will let her pick a lady to molest. If she is into it, I will barfine the lady to take back to the condo for more fun.

That's the plan, but this is Pattaya where plans go to die.

I made a newbie mistake last night, which ruined my plans.

The lady came over, and got smashed in my condo.

But, I took her to a bar that she goes to a lot, and she ended up sitting and chatting with some lady friend who I was supposed to buy drinks for. So, I bailed.

The mistake was taking her to a bar where she knew the ladies, I should have taken her somewhere new.

With great respect to Mr. Entertainment- I was on the ground for 30 days recently, had 32 sessions with TF- on each I would send a "map" of my location from Line, to the lady and ask her to keep in touch with me on timing- I had one which had not shown up within the hour- she got cancelled- she blamed it on her Mother- all others were within 5-10 minutes of appointment time- several were as much as 30 minutes early- I really think the Line Map helped.

Great content on pattya forum so far. Looking forward to my 1st trip here, though been to BKK 3 times!

Just a simpler Q. Other than walking street, is there a Nana plaza and Thermae equivalent in Pattaya that's mainly for freelancer??

Thanks. And hoping to add more reports here too.

No. For gogobars you need to go Walking street or LK Metro. WS Expensive? Depends on your taste. As said pinup is easy the number 1 Gogobar in town.

For LK Metro I think KINK is worth a visit. Old Windmill staff (and girls) created a great venue in LK!

Freelancers? Thaifriendly / Tinder. And they walk around in clubs like ibar / insomnia / republic / lucifer /808/ Myst. Enough choice in music and girls.

Nana Plaza is quite unique in its layout (anyone remember the hair salon on the third floor?) You won't find a three storey complex like that in Pattaya but there are streets of gogo bars. Walking Street has lots of options but is generally quite expensive. Some would say the quality of girls in Pinup are worth the expense though. I prefer Soi LK Metro as it's cheaper with less ladydrink pressure, plus there are some really good bars. I'd rank Queen as the top-dog but others are very good too.

When you say you're looking for a Thermae equivalent, I presume you don't mean a basement you get throat cancer in within ten minutes because it's so smoky, rather a place packed with freelancers? Maybe nightclubs like Beach Club are your best bet although most gogo / beer bar girls are freelancers when they're not working in their bar. Download Line and get lots of contacts in your phone and you won't be short of daytime meets for only 1000 baht. Only go to Beach Road for freelancers if bargain basement banging is your thing.

For your first trip to Pattaya, you must give soi 6 a visit too, it's your quintessential Pattaya experience. It's a long road of bars with lots of girls lining the street. Find a girl you like, take her upstairs to a short-time room (1300 baht, all in) and half an hour later you'll be heading back to your hotel with a smile on your face.

Thanks a lot Sir Lancelot. Appreciate your input. And I'm a heavy smoker so the basements will suit me fine LOL. But I was referring to Thermae as freelance pickup. Had the most amazing finds there and I usually get hotel close to that. Makes life easy. So I was seeing what is the equivalent of that in Pattaya. Will definitely check Soi 6. Have to learn from the master!

I definitely will not take a bus from Pattaya to Bangkok City or the reverse anymore. I did that once and it took 5 hours.

The intra-BKK part usually takes a lot of time due to BKK traffic. A workaround is to get off at first BTS stop and take the BTS from there. Saves a lot of time.

[Explorer8939]

The baht buses give a good approximation of how busy Pattaya is.

3 months ago, I would wait 10 minutes for a baht bus to come by. Now, there are traffic jams made up of baht buses.

Tonight, I am planning something special, a lady I know who lusts after busty ladies when she is drunk. So, she will come to the condo to drink, and when she is ready, we will go to some gogo and I will let her pick a lady to molest.

Taxi costs around US $40 with current exchange rates. Goes when you want. Stops when you want. Trip takes 80 minutes or so, depending on how often you stop and the speed you direct the taxi to drive.

I simply can't imagine why a guy would go through a low class bus ride after a long flight to Thailand when a taxi is so inexpensive.

If you don't have $40 for a taxi you probably shouldn't be traveling internationally.

It's a personal choice for me and has little to do with budget. I sometimes take a taxi (almost always take a taxi to Pattaya from the airport), but confess that if I am in Bangkok and I'm going to Pattaya for the weekend with just a small handbag, I enjoy the BTS ride, walking around Ekkamai bus terminal looking at people, and enjoy watching people in the "low class" bus. I don't usually enjoy sitting behind a taxi driver for 2 hours with nothing to say. The bus is also environmentally friendly if you care about that.

TF has one major problem. There is no predictability when the girl will arrive. It can be anywhere between 1 hour to 3 hours.

Never had that problem. I have a motorbike so if the chick does not have one I am usually picking her up or going to chill at her place. Most of the time it is them bugging me about when I am coming.

You should be Upgraded to Lord from Sir for such useful posts. Thanks and bookmarked.

Just to confirm, the bar fine is 300 THB for most of the bars including Sugar Sugar? I hate drinking so just want to select the girl and come out. Don't want to pay to mamasan, lady drinks etc.

Haha, thanks for the compliment. I do regret choosing a titled username!

300/400 baht was the barfine at most of the beer bars in Tree Town when I visited in March but it's always more expensive at gogo bars. As a general rule of thumb, anywhere you get to see a 'show', I. E semi-nude girls dancing on stage, the bar-fine will be more. The gogo bars on LK Metro and Sugar Sugar were charging 600-800.

If you're not in to your drinking, consider starting your search at 6 pm /7 pm as a lot of girls have just started their shift and the gogo bars have them sat on stools outside to entice customers in. You'll see pretty girls outside places like Sugar Sugar, Crystal Club, Kink, Queen etc. I know you said you don't like buying lady-drinks but one advantage is that you can have a chat with your choice of girl and if you hit it off swap Line details. You can meet her when she's not working (I. E next afternoon) without having to pay her bar-fine.
