Pattaya Reports

[Chimpo Chinn]

Took the 12:00 airport bus today for my flight to Phnom Phen. 1 hour 40 minutes to the airport. 143 baht (plus 70 for Bolt to the Jomtien station).

How's the Agogo Scene. Might go to Pattaya for three days next week.

I'm fine with Mediocre type youngish girls. Not interested in middle age rotund- office workers.

No interest in Trre Town type set up.

[Jimmy Boy 99]

Never over 3 hours for me. And that's with mid day traffic.

About 6 times.

That ekkamai Bus could be the Greatest Bargain on Planet Earth.

They really shout add 10 baht. Maintenence Bro.

Simple said. If you fuck someone with hiv (anal sex) there is a change of 11/10. 000 (that's 0,0011%) to get HIV (highest possible score for straight guys).

Population with HIV in thailand is estimated at 1%.

So simple math. Yes there is a risk. But being hit by a motorbike is more likely to happen.

Assuming those numbers are real, how does anyone get HIV, do they fuck someone HIV+ 11,000 times?

I've been driving in Thailand for nearly twenty years, particularly from Pattaya to the north. I've hired van drivers at times to take me north and to the airport. During covid during the lockdown on travel, I've even smuggled myself and hitched a ride with a moving trucker who was a neighbor to get back to my family so I could pick up my vehicle and family.

I've used taxis to and from Pattaya to the airport and back, I've used the government large bus, minibus, and their van service that is mainly used by locals to and from Pattaya down Sukhumvit through Bang Na, to Bangkok whenever the Bus schedule wasn't accommodating to my schedule last time 2021 summer when bus service was still closed and I needed to get to Bangkok for my Pfizer vaccine shots. You name it I most likely have used it. Of course, I've used the motorbike taxis often in Pattaya and in Bangkok.

Although I have a number of vehicles here in Pattaya, I mainly use my motorbike there was a time I logged in 70 plus KM, a day around town. In all those years I guess I've seen at least 50 accidents, and half a dozen dead, the majority of them were on motorbikes. There have been a couple of times sitting with the family at an intersection to clear a number of times I would suddenly blur out look here comes an accident been told I could spot it before it even happens.

Years ago I took the Bus from Pattaya Nua / Ekammai twice a week, then after my BB game, I would shower, jump on a motorbike taxi in Bangkok Soi 15, and rush me back to Ekammai before the last bus back to Pattaya. When Bell bus started operation it was only 150 baht, prior to Covid it was at 250 baht, which all the years of operation going from Pattaya to the Airport never rod, travel that got into an accident nor was the driver reckless. All their buses have sensor if they travel faster than 90 KM / H. This is consistent with the government bus that runs out of Pattaya on Soi Nua to Ekammai both services have an attendant that rides shotgun with the driver. On the government bus going and coming it can make a number of stops to drop off locals prior to entering Bangkok and Pattaya, if so you tell the attendant where you want to get off. During heavy traffic hours in Bangkok I tell these days I want to get off Odom Suk, then walk up to the BTS to get to my final destination. During heavy hours this can save you 30 minutes if not more just from that location to Nana. This is the same if you are on a bus coming back to Pattaya and need to make stops in Chon Buri, Sriracha.

Nice review.

This comment of yours is why I don't like Pattaya so much.

". I also like the Thai people, but they don't smile as much as they should or as they are purported to be. ".

If you want to see the Land of Smiles, and how Thai people really interact, get away from the Pattaya and other tourist traps.

I've always found the Thais there to have been worn down and lost their natural Thai-ness and with it their natural smiles.

What a great no nonsense, no BS report. Kudos to you sir!

I have a new hero. Not quite as up in years, it's reassuring that a guy my age (mid 60's) can find fun in Thailand. Will be redoubling my prep and planning for January. Twice as excited about it, many thanks.

What soapies you guys recommend?

[CaliGuy33]

I just wanted to congratulate you on (1) a truly exceptional report which will be undoubtedly hugely beneficial to all visiting the area and (2) to say that when I read you will be 73 for your next visit I was genuinely almost clapping in my living room. Absolutely inspirational Sir. Full respect and you are a trailblazer who gives hope to all of us in our 50's (or older) that this hobby need not be curtailed after 70. Loved your entire report. Thank you. Huge respect and admiration.

I've always said:

MLM. Monger lives Matter.

BLM. Bald lives Matter.

How do you seasoned gents ascertain what you will receive in-person compared to the pics on TF?

I'm really not that picky, I want an average face with a slim, proportioned body with no real baby damage in the stomach area.

But some of the girls that show up, their bodies are unsightly. The most recent one had mangled nipples (something I had never seen) and the weirdest, flattest teenage boy arse that I wanted no part of.

So what's the best method to pre-verify what you'll receive in-person?

Are any of you gents bold enough to send them packing if they look different in-person? And if you do, do you give them 1-200 baht for their trouble?

I will say, most of the TF girls I've seen were for 1 k baht, perhaps I simply need to move up to 1,500 baht to acheive more quality.

The bus takes the same time to get from the airport to Pattaya as a taxi does. And if you are arriving in the morning there will not be anything else to do anyway. What I used to do is arrive and go downstairs to see if a bus is getting ready to leave. If it is, then I hop on it. I do not remember the price. Depending on the bus it was like 120-200 baht. If it will be another hour wait, then I just go upstairs and get a taxi for 1000 baht because I could have arrived in a taxi by the time I had waited 1 hour for a bus.

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.

Never over 3 hours for me. And that's with mid day traffic.

About 6 times.

That ekkamai Bus could be the Greatest Bargain on Planet Earth.

For all you aspiring Pattaya Bar Owners. A guy finally confirmed something I thought about the industry.

The Boys won't bother you if you don't make money. If you by chance do the opposite you will be Noticed.

A guy on You Tube made a Video. Not really sure it was a Wise decision on his part.

[PayForIt]

I had the opportunity to return to Thailand in Mid-May until Mid-June of 2022
I will be back in Jomtien in 2023 for my 73rd Birthday.

I hope the information I have shared will be of use to future travelers and update others on what is happening in Pattaya / Jomtien.

Cheers.

Thailand is looking for a better class of tourist but these days they can't get tourists from Red China, so they are making deals with India.

Exactly how does Thailand make deals for India?

[Chris P]

Over the years I have been to Thailand 8 times (1974-2019)

It would be really fascinating to hear about your trip in 1974, how it was and how it's changed since then.

[GentileBear]

Thank You StLouisMo2010 !! That was Epic. And yes sir. Like my user-name I like to give the ladies a Gentle Hug and wait for a smile. Thai's for me seem more poker-face than Pinay's. But the genuine smile when I bear hug them is my Go or No Go approach to see how their attitude will be.

Again thanks for the info and That's a lot of Sessions for being in your 70's!

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

As a french writer said: "If she is late, she will come! "
