Posts: 16Suggestions for Hotel.
Hey guys,
Newcomer and first timer to Thailand.
Was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on hotels that are girl-friendly and all the mongering / massage / gogo bars will be easily accessible from there.
4* and over preferably.
Thanks,
IF.

Posts: 164Jasmine Resort Hotel.
This hotel is girl friendly, however the following are to note:
1 - If you accompany a girl neither they will ask for girl's ID while entering nor will call you to check if everything is alright when the girl leaves.
2 - However, if the girl comes by her own they will call when she goes up and comes down both times.
3 - Helpful staff and a nice restaurant downstairs.
4 - A little far from the happening Nana Plaza and Cowboy, but hey Grab costs only a hundred baht or so.
Enjoy your stay!

Hua Hin might as well be an area just outside of BKK. I had heard rumors about it being a great golf area and that many expats lived there. I decide to pack my bags including the 2 legged one and spend a few days checking it out.
You can get there by Bus in 3 hours for 110 baht. This is the big bus with ac and acceptable seats. Booked a room close to the beach and dug in for 3 days. Walking street is nice and the weather was nice and cool at night. There are a few streets that run off of walking street and they are all bars and massage shops. Girls everywhere. Business is slow during June and July so they were all sitting around looking for anything with legs. I realized that I had taken a sandwich to a banquet by bringing my GF.
I did manage to ask one lady, while my GF was shopping, what the going rate was for ST. She replied that with it being slow 1500 baht for a couple of hours. The girls I saw were not bad, ranging from a 5 to an 8. Something that I did notice is that Hua Hin is an area that has a lot of older men with their spring chicken hand in hand. Not like Pattaya or Phuket there were no loud groups of guys partying and drunk. Not a party place as far as I could tell.
It appears that Hua Hin is a destination for couples from BKK to get out of the madness for a few days. An old guy like me with their younger Thai lady in tow.

Cancelling a no prepay / free cancellation reservation is real easy to do on Agoda and Expedia and the hotel reservation sites themselves. It is common practice and the hotel booking sites advertise this benefit as a way to attract customers. It is all fair game. The reservation sites have no problem raising rates when demand is high so don't feel sorry for these suits when a lower rate is offered. I will always cancel a free no penalty reservation if a better deal comes my way.
But occasionally I will spot a discount rate attached to a prepay / no cancellation booking that is so low (around 20% less than the no prepay / free cancellation rate) that I can't resist the offer as long as I am 99.9% certain the rate is unbeatable and I will show up to fulfill the contract otherwise the risk is too high. To this end I keep a spreadsheet of lowest rates on all the hotels I have stayed at or have an interest in staying at in the future. That way I know when I see a really good deal regardless of whether it's a free cancellation or penalty no cancellation offer. I tend to book way in advance. For example, I have already booked most of my April / May 2019 trip and I haven't even begun my Sept / October 2018 trip yet. What can I say? I saw a couple great deals, mostly free cancellation type deals, but also a couple of really attractive (price-wise) no cancellation deals too. I can't help it. I am an addict. 555!
One more thing: I was originally booked for a March/April 2018 trip. Then in January 2018 my Dad suffered a traumatic brain injury (subdural hematoma) and had to undergo a life saving brain operation. Fortunately he full recovered in record time, but it was touch and go for a while and I cancelled my entire trip in order to look after him. There was no problem canceling all the no prepay/no penalty cancellation reservations and with a copy of a letter from the surgeon I was fully reimbursed for all my cancelled prepay-ed and cancelled no prepay / no cancellation reservations including my United Airlines reservation. So, all's well that ends well and I am really looking forward to my next trip.

OK. So now I understand the main issue / area that you've been basing your arguments on.
My user I'd is a joke that my high school classmates commonly used to tease a Muslim mate of mine, which I then continued to use as my character name in a popular MMORPG game up until a few years ago, and when I was creating an account here. Well let's just say I had a nostalgic moment (33 at the end of it is my age BTW).
I am not Muslim (Arab), Nor I am Indian (which I believe are the "nationality and race you've been referring to). I was born a Christian (not my fault) and I hate the concept of religions. And that feeling of hate is strongest towards the perceived religion (for obvious reasons that I believe you and I will have in common).
Now. I do apologize because I wasn't spending too much time reading your responses (and I admit I've had a typical "blonde" moment) and as such was perplexed as to why you assumed me to be an Arab or an Indian despite me making it clear that I was a white Aussie male. It actually was a mate of mine who slapped me on the head and pointed out the username.
So I hope that explains the confusion I was feeling, and my responses to your comments. I'll leave this argument here and once again do apologise for my role in the misunderstanding.

Posts: 1026Truth vs racism. But as I replied "suppose just a POV"
Vigor, attack, hatred. Man you must be thin skinned.
Its not racism, arrogance, racial profiling, false assumptions when it is the truth. Currently in KL where many WG tell me that they will not go with certain types as their usual complaints are smelly, dirty, rough, sometimes don't pay, sometimes have 2/3 guys back in room waiting. Some taxi drivers of some races even [CodeWord123] and abuse girls too. Just ask them and they will tell you. Due to the large population of some countries people there learn to live a dog eat dog exsistence and bring those same attitudes when travelling. If I leave Beach Club tonite I will be inindated with rip off taxi drivers selling viagra, condoms and overpriced fares. The girls will tell you they are scared of speaking up for fear of reprisal. And they aren't Malay cause I've asked.
Maybe this is your first time travelling. I would assume so. So go to Thailand and other mongering destinations and see how some WG just snub some nationalities due to their previous history. Even your brothers admit that others have tarnished the reputation and thus it make it harder for them to monger.
Playing the racism card is so easy today, just like Western women playing the sexism card. Crying racism is just an easy way to try to deflect the discussion away from the real issue which is the attitudes of certain nationalities and treatment of girls. Racism means superiority, I do not think I am superior to you but I maintain that by my respectful dealings I and others of my nationality reap the benefits.
So good luck with your mongering, hopefully you will understand more when you monger and experience the path your brothers have laid for you. Maybe you can start to reverse the sterotypes the WG, travellers and people of other lands have about these nationalities.
You know its funny that everyone wants to come to America, Germany and Australia to live but no one wants to go to these other countries to live. Why is that?
As Jack said. " You want the truth. You can't handle the truth".

I have an upcoming trip in August that will span 3 countries where I will be staying at 4 different hotels. I have already chopped and changed my hotels and rooms 3 times. Is this malpractice? Hell no! It is common sense. Anyone who thinks otherwise is living in Utopia.

The first post led me to think I'm dealing with a condescending old man, but your second response. I believe I can add racism and arrogance to the list (and I honestly don't care if all the WG line up and bend over for free where ever you visit due to your awesomeness). I personally haven't done anything to ruin your experience with WG or hotels (not yet at least, and hopefully never will). So get off your high horse and keep your racial profiling (because that's exactly what it looks like) to yourself.

I suppose many will say be a realist, that's the world we monger in and that's true. Luckily many girls will treat those of differing nationalities different based on previous expereince.
