Pattaya Reports

[PayForIt]

Very good points. I was thinking of taking the other advice about a side hotel, but this seems to hit home. I'll keep searching to try to find a hotel I like closer by, maybe the Hilton. I can also take a day trip to Jomtien I guess.

Thanks a lot.

Until my last trip the advice I was given was that it was a waste of nights to go to Jomtien. I decided to take that advice but do a trip one day and one night to see what I thought. Well, the advice I got was bad IMHO. Jomtien, or more specifically Pratumnak, is not only a LOT quieter than Pattaya, the beach is far better and the vibe is more chilled. There are still plenty of options, bars, GCs if that's for you, and the noise is far less. The trip to central Pattaya is short and inexpensive. Sure if you go on the back of a bike over that hill it can be hairy if the rider is fast! But either take a normal cab, or the Bhat bus or even walk. It's not that bad. The girls do whine about the distance as if it's miles away. It's not. Just offer a bit extra and they are fine.

Daytime in Jomtien / Pratumnak Hill are so much better than in bustling Pattaya. I'm back soon and will definitely stay in Jomtien this time.

I went to Cambodia on a bus from a visa company I happened to see. The cost was 3200 baht though the guy sitting next to me said he only paid 2600 baht. Bus picked me up at 5:30 and I was back at my hotel by 3 pm. We stopped halfway there for bathroom break and half way back for lunch. I was told I needed two passport photos but no one took them so I didn't need, who knows if other people did. All I did when I got to Cambodia was stand in whatever line I was told to and then went to next line. I didn't time how long I was there but I'd guess about an hour.

My personal stuff is I left thailand for a week after being here a month and got first extension that way and the second extension by going to immigration office. This is my 3rd extension.

All in all easy peasy.

Hello everyone. I have been to Pattaya twice in my life and really enjoyed it, especially around Soi 6. But at the same time, I need peace and quiet while not doing my business. Therefore I was considering staying in Jomtien Beach area and then taking bolt or bus to the action. Have others done this and is this common? Importantly, will girls from Gogos or beer bars come with me to Jomtien?

I spent a month last year in Jomtien to try it and learn the ropes, definitely action there just have to spend a little time learning where it is. Unless your a hard core agogo guy you should be fine. I don't like making the trip between jomtien and Pattaya a lot.

Explorer does not get old bar girls. On the contrary, he just chooses to monger in places like Maggie Mays where the girls charge very reasonable rates. Yawn. End of story.

I'll buy you 40 drinks in March at the Soi6 crime scene. I'll explain to how Pricing works. Hahaha.

How long are you coming for? You might want to book a short time in Jomtien, to see how it works for you. I have been staying in Jomtien. At first I like it, then I soon get sick of travelling up to Pattaya. Takes longer than you think. Bolt motorcycles feel like death race 2000. My ST PSE requests an extra 100 from Pattaya and I pay it. Most girls want ST these days, and so won't want to travel far, as they want to get back to the bar. Unless it is late at night and they live here.

It is a long way from Soi6. You could stay in Wongamat which is lovely, quiet at night and easier commute to Soi6.

I'll be in Pattaya for three weeks in March (as well as 10 days in Philippines), diary incoming.

I've trawled back 100 pages but haven't found a lot of info about the new beer bar complex where Soi Made in Thailand used to be, I think it's called Myth. Any good? Does it have consistent barfine prices or is it all over the place like Tree Town?

Passed by tonight and it was quite busy, not super full but busy. Nice music, and nice atmosphere. Spotted some beauties too, but here YMMV. I just checked a bar where I had a drink and then left and the girl asked 2000 for ST and 600 BF.

Enjoy.

Not about you bro. I've decided to give you a Break. You seem a bit oversensitive. LOL.

As far as I know, the Agogo's are not too happy? Or the punters are skipping WS? IMHO, there is always a good time to go to Thailand.

I was on WS on Saturday night last week and it was jammed. Not sure what you are talking about. Could not move in Pin Up and XS or farenhight. Moon go go didn't have many girls left as they got bar fined. I could go on..........

For the newbies: the quoted post is snark. He's not serious.

Are you the snark police LOL? How many times are you going to post this?

No need to give me a break. If you don't get it by now, my CC alter ego is a parody of a well known ISger with many user names. In Pattaya, we know him as Jason Finch and on ISG we know him as 40 drinks, Raj Patel, and dam I forgot about all the others.

I recently had a great time at Club Fate. Two Laos girls working there really got it going on. Post coming soon.

At last someone who understands that there has not been any 50-100 % inflation in Thailand during covid. Its price increases because they want to make more money from tourists, nothing else. Thank you!

Stop this silly talk about "if pattaya is to expensive for you bla bla. ".

Its not about that, its about that the girls are adding +50-100% more than what they would ask from thaimen.

It did not used to be like that, prices used to be lower and more in line with what they ask from thaimen.

I can also go to Pattaya without breaking my entire bank account but I clearly see when they are setting special touristprices.

I add a little picture for you here so you can se the differance between what thais pay and what you pay.

Do you think I don't know that? If I want to go see ladies in Bangkok who normally deal with Thai clients, I can. I can speak Thai and have no troubles paying these girls their 1300 baht ST. CFS. I take advantage of all the options. Crack on mate and waste your time fighting over 700 Baht. I could care less. For me, time is money. If you want to waste time over 700 Baht, that's your choice, it's just not mine. To each their own. It's your money. Not mine.

They know that very few Thai men have the money that is available from many farang.

I don't have a problem with suppliers charging different prices to different customers. Prior to retirement, I did the same thing with my consulting business. The enjoyable customers were charged less per hour then the unpleasant customers. One of my customers was charged triple compared to my most favored customer. I didn't want to work with certain customers unless they gave me lots of money. The girls are looking to maximize their incomes while having the most pleasant work experiences. Essentially the same thing that I did. Why not?

From the buyer's perspective, I'm happy to spend top money for top service from a hottie. I'll also pay top money for a non-hottie if she has provided exceptional service in the past.

It's a Rare girl who would charge 3,000 to a Korean than charge 1500 to her neighbor next door. Makes no sense.

I can't see Superstar Rainbow 4 girl who gets multiple customers a night doing favor to a Taxi guy and charge him 500 baht. LOL. Hahaha. Unless Thai man better than Mr Nakamura.

I can see a girl who works Rainbow and get no customers charging Taxi man 500 baht. Is she really charging 3 k if no one Bites.

If the Thai man is enough, the bargirl will give him money.
