Pattaya Reports

[Gin And Tonic]

Can anyone expounder on what a friend told me on his last trip (2015) to Thailand?

He said that when he took a girl from Nana (BKK) and walking street (Pattaya) ago gos the mama charged him the bar fine and the Lady cost up front.

Is this the new way of doing things? Haven't read or seen on the web of this new process which is like the Philippines.

Damage was aproximatly 3 K.

No. If so, get another girl and post which bar / club is doing this so we know not to waste time there.

Rent a motorbike, print a map and do it by yourself. I did sometimes, is a hit and miss but I had some great party around DarkSide. Of course difficult to find a good quality girls but could find some good performer.

This might be useful. I have visited a few and I saw no reason to visit that side of town again. And even if you do find something that floats your boat, good luck in getting her to join you at your hotel, which in all likelihood, will be near beach road. Of course, there are plenty of ST options available in those parts, if that is what you fancy.

Chris / Blanq thanks for the info but I tend to drink a lot and I don't want to drive LOL.

The comments from Myrrh and Socker aren't serious they have made it personal there is really no merit to their posting. I met Mr. E, a number of years ago and although I haven't spoken or run into him directly for over a year I do see him running around town. The times I've seen him I wouldn't consider the women with him to be " Bottom Feeders ". If it wasn't personal then you would see his posting indicates he doesn't believe in paying Barfines at Go-Go's in particular. Just because we don't have his style doesn't mean he is wrong. I think he explain his point pretty cleared to everyone. Just because you don't like what you hear doesn't mean he is wrong. I live here can't do what he does and couldn't when I was his age. Get over it fellas don't let your EGO get the best of you!

Thai New Year's Day is April 13th every year. The beautiful and ancient Songkran festival, occurring between 13-15 (3 days) in April, originated to celebrate the occasion in keeping with the Buddhist / Hindu solar calendar. The celebration is meant to ritualize several symbolic Thai traditions.

Mornings, for example, begin with merit-making. Visiting local temples offering food to the Buddhist monks and performing water pouring on Buddha statues was commonly practiced. The rituals represented purification; the washing away of sins and bad luck. As a way to show respect, younger people often practiced water pouring over the palms of elders' hands. Paying reverence to ancestors was an important part of the Songkran tradition.

Unfortunately, that was then and this is now. Songkran is now known primarily for its water festival. Major streets are closed for traffic, and used as arenas for water fights during which the participants take pleasure in splashing water on each other. Of course there is nothing at all wrong with that, and the whole three days can be a lot of fun for young people, especially those who desire to take part.

But in Pattaya, the Songkran festival has, for those of us who live here, become totally perverted by gangs of lowlifes, sadists and cretins who have turned what was once a pleasant traditional occasion into a nine days (April 11-19) of Hell in the streets. Today the authorities in Pattaya have essentially given these miscreants a license to assault people with water any time of the day and night anywhere in the metropolitan area. No longer are the water festivities confined to closed off areas to be enjoyed by only those who wish to participate. Now there is nowhere to escape the water fights.

Nothing gives these creeps greater pleasure than encountering innocent victims anywhere on the streets who wish to remain dry and don't want to participate; then soaking them with gallons of dirty water often freezing cold ice water. They cruise the main thoroughfares and side Soi's everywhere on the beds of 100's of pickup trucks with 50 gallon tubs of ice water which they splash on anyone and everyone within their range. So if one doesn't want to get soaking wet anytime of the day or night he must of necessity stay home.

On top of that, police statistics show that the death toll in Thailand from road accidents doubles during Songkran. In the first four days of the festivities this year 259 people have died and 2,378 were injured in road accidents.

In short, Songkran is dangerous to your comfort, wellbeing, health, and safety. I would recommend to anyone planning a trip to Thailand especially Pattaya scrupulously avoid Songkran.

His posts have always had the credibility of someone who lives here, is active in that scene and has some things going for himself. As for the attitude in his writings please keep in mind he is an American. I learn all the time from the guy.

Yeah, I agree!

The key difference (vs. These other posters) is that Mr ENT really tries to help. Whether you like what he says, how he says it is a relative issue. But IMO I think sometimes Mr ENT is kinda frustrated that many visitors to Pattaya don't actually ' get' it!

I think it's easy to tell who is trying to help, you versus just wanting to argue, but really not offering others real specific help, whether you like the advice or not...

Take this FWIW. YMMV.

[Run Mann]

Next time try to make clear if you're being sarcastic or perhaps express your criticism in clear terms. It helps.

Was crystal clear to me from just the title of his post but how did you eventually figure it out?

[Old New Guy]

Yes our resident Mr. Egoternational.

I agree 100%. Unfortunately, I have an opportunity to stop off again (3rd time this year) after a visit to Helsinki (leaving tomorrow). That'll put me in Pattaya Sunday morning around 9-10 AM on the 17th. I'm guessing two difficult and one miserable day dealing with all the water at least until dark. But then I'll have a week to enjoy Pattaya correctly. Avoid Songkran if at all possible; if you want to experience it, plan to arrive on the last day.

/ dddick.

Sorry the last day is the last day you want to get here. Many of the main roads are gridlock. The 18th is much better.

[Gin And Tonic]

Yes our resident Mr. Egoternational.

I just walk up to a woman I see in Pattaya, any woman, and tap her on the shoulder and simply say 'Let's go' and 9 times out 10 they will go. Straightaway without hesitation. No need for any eye contact before hand.

The only exceptions are if they are on a friends night out in which case we will exchange numbers and arrange to meet up the next night.

As for price? That is even simpler. I just toss her a solitary brown note in the morning. No negotiations or discussions beforehand. Not needed or even necessary and no exceptions.

These are the times of course when I do happen to decide to pay.

Re: arriving on last day of Songkran.

Thanks for the advice and info on my scheduled arrival in Pattaya next Tuesday. I would not actually mind experienceing a few hours, well, a few minutes, of Singkran, so I think I will head on down after arriving at BKK Tuesday rather than spend the night in Bangkok, but rather than take the Bell bus and risk getting stuck at the bus station I think it may be better to take a taxi down that will deliver me to at least within a few blocks of my Soi 13 and 2nd Road hotel. I can stand to get soaked pulling / lugging my suit case for a block or two I suppose.

But are the taxi drivers willing to go down there for the 1050 - 1200 TB fee if they think they will get stuck in traffic? Or should getting a taxi from the bus terminal not be a problem? Again, I would be arriving around noon at. BKK and if I take the bus, I would have to take the 2 pm departure (a good reason to take a taxi).

Someone mentioned going to Jomtiem first, or take a train, but I am not sure how they would work. I don't speak the language so I think I should keep things simple.

I actually would prefer a big bus as they are safer. On my first Bell ride we were in an accident. We rear ended s smaller car (not Bell's fault) and the car was crushed. I think the driver was killed. There was like little more than a scratch to the bus.

Anyway, ready to get to Pattaya and start some major report writing! Appreciate all the advice.

Better to take a taxi directly from the airport. Should cost you 1500 including Tolls. Taxi can deliver you straight to your hotel without having to haul your luggage in the hot and humid weather.

This is ridiculous, I'm black and I have an incredible time in Pattaya. There's 2 hip hop clubs with pretty much all black guys and Thai chick's that love hip hop and black dudes. If the Mamasan is trying to give you her biggest broad it's only cause most blacks dudes go looking for the thickest chick and they want to accommodate you, they are not being discriminatory they just think that's what you want, you can easily choose another. Anyway I'll be in Pattaya tomorrow getting wet hope you broaden your scope Bruh. Try 808 and then go to Flexx after that they love brothas there.

Also this guy's first post. A little suspicious.

Plenty of Black guys in Patts doing good work with the ladies and welcome by the larger population. Mr E's reports alone belie thsi guy's claims.

Maybe he just had some bad luck? Who knows?

You can say what you want about MR E. As I don't know him personally. But his insight and info in regards to the P4P scene are spot on. I live here in Pattaya full time and one of the things I have realized is that you cannot let the ladies dictate and control the situation. They will actually respect you more if you have a set of balls and you lay out your conditions to the transaction.
