Then after you bought the drinks they would say they don't leave.

Quite possibly because you only want to pay them $13 ST and $28 LT?

I never had a girl say no in Phnom Penh.

Panhead, regarding a time split between the 2 cities, imo the best would be to stay in Bangkok for 2-3 days since you land there, then head to Pattaya. Stay in Pattaya until you are sick of it whether it be 2 or 7 days, then head back to BKK.

So I locked down the trip to Bangkok and pattaya I will be having Thai turkey and stuffing it as much as I can, So I have plotted 5 days in Bangkok and 6 days in Pattaya I will be staying at the Majestic suites Bangkok and The pattaya Blue sky, what do you Thai veterans think of the time split and the hotel picks for a first trip to LOS.

Thanks Panhead.

Majestic suites is a good value hotel in a very convenient location. Definitely the best 3 star I've ever stayed in.

I'd say you've split your time well if your trip is mostly for mongering. If you wanted to do more diverse activities I'd suggest more time in Bangkok.

Thanks for the feedback and advice guys. As I posted in another forum, I did cancel my flight and incur a cancellation fee. Oddly enough I seem to have found some even cheaper flights a month from now, as we head into high season, which offsets the loss. Then again, I should known better than to buy a ticket in August for two months out. International airfares tend to slump in the fall.

I downloaded the app for Momondo and was surprised at the features it offered to track down the lowest fare. I still found the best flight for convenient flight times on plain-old Faretracker. That said, what is your favorite site or app for cruising airfare to the LOS?

You can find the info you are looking for in the PP thread. But when I was there a couple of years ago I was paying $13ST and $28 LT freelance. The bars were pretty much a rip off. Girls would want you to buy drinks before they would discuss leaving. Then after you bought the drinks they would say they don't leave.

$28? Did you give them $30 and get $2 change?

That price seems about right taking into account inflation as when I was there 10 years ago you could get a nice young freelancer with a tight body for $20 all night at the Walkabout, Sharky, Martini or Heart of Darkness. I hear those places have all declined now.

Back then the bars were also rubbish.

Send us some pics man. I have seen quite a few pics of PP girls but never was really convinced they were that pretty. Cheap yes. Dare I ask a typical rate?

DarkSmurf, I think you will be absolutely fine for mongering purposes, other than losing girls who have decided to use this period as a good time to visit family before high season begins.

Ezspresso, I think you will see some things be normal starting on the 18th. Many places still open but from my understanding not with any authorization they are allowed to remain open. Not sure how long your vacation is for. Natty's suggestions are good. Have a Plan B and consider other destinations. I am in Phnom Penh now and am loving it. Uncle Volodya has switched to Plan B and will be joining me today. Airfare is about $140 US. Hotels same price as Pattaya. Girls much cheaper and many very pretty on Street 136,130, 104. Maybe not as convincing as Thai girls but really not far off. The big difference is it is not on the same scale as Pattaya. More like on BKK scale.

I once heard that if you go out of town to where girls can't speak English, experienced guys might get a fuck for as little as $10 just a few years back.

I'm heading to LOS on 19th November, I'm really hoping things will be back to normal by then (and a crash in the value of baht and / or recovery for the wouldn't be unwelcome!) Re-scheduling long vacations just isn't practical for me (cost and getting time off work) so really hope things go well, the crash in the value of has already eaten into my budget and I'm dreading that when the gogos re-open they might be charging more to recoup their losses!

There is a lot to be said for wait and see. Within a few days everything will appear normal for mongering most likely. Thai Baht has already devalued a little. Would have been useful to me if that happened a few months ago. Perhaps you can benefit.

I do not believe there is any reason to call off your trip or pay onerous cancellation fees in order to do so. Go with the flow & enjoy.

I concur with Natty, no need to cancel your trip. Having come back today as it was my planned exit date I would recommend you to proceed with your itinerary. You will find avenues for company and as some gogos in Pattaya have posted on their FB page life might resuscitate from Saturday onwards. Insomnia sure will be open on Monday, they have announced on their FB page as well. Am sure other bars and venues will follow. Music or lights might be missing but nightlife will region strength soon.

Espresszo & DarkSmurf, yeah bad luck on the timing of your respective trips, but if getting a refund from the airlines is too difficult, or too expensive, or changing your travel dates is not optimal; I suggest you go anyway. My thinking is this: play it loose for a day or two in BKK/Pattaya and see if the Go Go's and massage shops are operating and you are able to connect with some nice Thai girls. The country will be in mourning all month, but everything might still be acceptable. No one really knows how it is going to be a week from now. The only thing that matters is if you are having a good time. So if you are not having a good time after giving it a try for 2 nights, then execute Plan B (backup plan) and fly to either 1) Phnom Penh (50 air minutes from BKK), or 2) Manila (3 plus hours from BKK), or 2.B) AC (an additional 90 minutes by limo from Manila), or 3) Jakarta (3 hours from BKK). There are great girls in all these wonderful alternative destinations and an amazing time awaits you in S. E Asia no matter what is going on in LOS. So for this reason, I do not believe there is any reason to call off your trip or pay onerous cancellation fees in order to do so. Go with the flow & enjoy.

As we should all know by now, the King is dead and the nation is in mourning. All of the girls I have contacted via TF are in mourning, even admitting they are in tears. Needless to say, this is not the right time to be in the Land of Smiles.

I have read reports in the news that suggests that tourists wear black or somber clothes outdoors. I don't own anything black except some black socks. I don't don't do black. I am anti-black clothing, and I am not going to go out shopping for a new wardrobe to take on vacation so I can feel miserable with the rest of the natives.

Unfortunately, I have a reservation to fly to BKK via ICN on Korean Airlines, this Sunday the 16th. That's right. Bad timing. I've decided to postpone my journey. That's been an ordeal in itself, because KAL uses customer support in India and not only are their reps unable to assist, you can't really understand them, either. They keep saying they will need to have someone call me back and gave the cost of changing my reservation and of course, seat availability. I'm asking for a refund, and they can't handle that so they will also need to get someone to call me back to discuss a refund on my ticket. Seriously, in 2016 how is it possible that an airline serving such a technologically advanced nation (allegedly) not have customer service who can answer simple but critical questions regarding reservations? But, I digress.

I think those of you on the ground would do us a favor and give us feedback on what is going on, and when it will be a good time to come back. This would be my first trip to Asia, period, and I think going now is the wrong introduction to the Land of Smiles.

March 2017 will be my first trip to Pattaya and possibly BKK, so I have a few curiosities and interests I'd like opinion on.

For the Bar girl experience and play, I get the "drill" regarding LD, BF and all as, I have been to PI many years ago and played hard there.

Do most be-girls wear panties when strolling the fronts and playing in the bar (trying to get you to pony up $).

That depends. In some clubs the girls dance naked. In other they wear bikinis or lingerie or short skirts with or without panties. Just do your rounds of the clubs and see what is the flavour of the day.

In a (beer)bar however, things are more subdued, if only for the simple reason that many are open to the street and in full view of all passers-by. Soi 6 bars are different, but there you generally only go inside when you have already chosen your lady. You can play a bit with here inside the bar, but as you are likely to retire to the upstairs room anyhow, why delay?

What about Bush verses bare? I prefer a nice smooth pussy to play with. I'm guessing 50/50?

Mostly smooth or at least nicely trimmed. You will find more "Bush" with non-pros or semi-pros.

GoGo's don't grab my interest too much from what pics and videos I've seen, but if it was raunchy naked dancing & flirting, I might get into it.

Any GoGo's go to extreme raunchy play?

There are some clubs that have girls take a bath together and even invite audience participation. Again, have a look as it may be different from one day to another in the same club.

Do the girls discriminate much? I have a few years under my belt (approaching 60) fit and not bad looking. I know its all about $ for them, but ideally I want to party and have fun, not just mechanical sex. Crap shoot?

Thai society has great respect for age. I'm about your age and never had any problem to engage a companion. But of course how she will respond once in your bed is difficult to predict.

I am quick to cum on first pop, so thinking maybe I should hit a massage parlor for that first one, then go hit up a bar girl for #2, and eventually pickup a LT lady for the night in my room.

I am sure after 1st day and night, the first pop will be a little more cooperative and last a while.

That seems a realistic scenario.

Will the tiny petite ladies like my small cock, and charge less for less wear and tear? (just joking on this one).

Thanks for any comments.

You are funny! And that is exactly the way to approach the girls. Thai are a big believer in the principle that even work should be "sanuk" (fun).
