Posts: 492Visa question
I will get my visa extended at the immigration office before my first month expires. Right before 2 months I want to fly to PhnomPenh for a week then fly back to Bangkok. Will flying back in allow me another month? In the past I used a visa run company to get third month. We went to an embassy, I think, in Malaysia.
Thanks for any advice or help.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

If you want to do Pattaya and Hua Hin then I would go straight from the airport to Pattaya and then over to Hua Hin, I sure there is a direct ferry between the 2. Then return to Bangkok. Heaps of accommodation available everywhere so you may only want to book a night or 2 to start. If you like Pattaya then you can skip Hua Hin and stay there or just go back to BKK.

If intending Phi Phi, one can combine it with Ao Nang, Krabi (which is what I did) and that can be a bit cheaper than Phuket. I took a hot Thai girl with me since I did not expect much mongering on Phi Phi (I would not really know). This meant I had a great time. Small scale mongering is available in bars at Ao Nang Krabi.
To do Phuket and Phi Phi (or Krabi and Phi Phi) really requires at least 4 days I think, but you are pushed for time. Yes you can stay in Phi Phi just one night. It's possible but rushed. So only if you are hating Bangkok and Pattaya. Personally, I don't like to be in a huge rush.
At Phi Phi, you hire snorkelling gear and a long tailed boat to go to the beautiful bays with coloured tropical coral fish to see. Better still if you have a sexy Thai girl along with you. If she can't swim, no matter, they have bouyancy vests and flippers available to give non swimmers confidence. Snorkelling trips are available from Ao Nang as well (without going far to Phi Phi).
I did PP for one night (too rushed). Found that most PP girls were a bit different to Thais and not quite as appealing to me. The girls that came from places close to the border of Thailand, looked much more similar to Thais. Hardly surprising. Need to try again some day.
Not sure why Bali was recommended. I would never go there again. O.K. as a beech resort, but Balinese girls for the most part are not that pretty for my taste, especially once they get over 20 years old. They seemed to decline rapidly with age (too much sun and hard work maybe) and looked very old at 30. Also the more rounded face shapes did not appeal. I am biased towards slim face shape and narrow jaw. The good looking girls in Bali were usually Javanese.

I also thought the beach there was good but apparently not presently. If I can get a combo of a really nice place to visit with good mongering options that would be best. But really nice place to visit doesn't have to be beach. You post made me seriously look again at PP and the flights are both cheap and easy from BKK. I'd like to experience Cambodia and / or Vietnam. I've arranged already 2 days in the mayhem of Pattaya- not because it is pretty. I guess it won't be. But because (1) I've never been so have to try once and (2) the options appear to be many. I'll do one night in BKK despite not loving the city as I like the sound of Thermae. I'm fortunate not to be on a budget so I would hope I would do well there. Looked at the PP forum and I like the sound of the KTVs which sound great fun.
But not sure I want to spend all three of my spare nights in PP. I've been to Bali but not Jakarta and as I need to head back to Europe after the 6 days and have my return flight booked back to FRA from LK that sort of rules out Jakarta and Bali as it is just going too far east.
I like the idea of PP over Phuket as I'm not a big fan of Bangla / Phuket. I liked Samui as not as much mayhem as Phuket but PP has definitely opened another avenue and I like trying places I've never been to. And not been there. I like to have something interesting to see in the daytime (touristy) and PP looks like a cool city.

Funny we are considering other places for a good beach since the Thai officials believe Pattaya is a world class beach resort.

Posts: 1860Thanks
Many thanks for the replies gents. I have a feeling Syzgies is right about cutting travel down.
Have never been to Phi Phi so might do Phuket then head to the island for one day total rest and chill but I also like the go with the flow idea and just see where it takes me.
Had seriously contemplated Phnom Phen but then it would mean all cities and no beach at all.
Really appreciated the feedback.
Nobody commented on Samui which was a little surprising.

Posts: 6387I'd take an hour flight to Phnom Penh vs. Flying to tourist trap Phuket or driving 3 hours Bangkok to Hua Hin. Didn't even realize Hua Hin had a worthwhile hobby scene.

I think Bargirls are better than FLs overall, but there is the cost problem. FLs in the Thermae may act like they are on a tight schedule (not always) but depends how busy they are. Bargirls can rush customers too, but I rarely meet those types these days. You have more time in a bar to assess the girl's attitude. I have been lucky on occasions with attitude of FLs on Soi 4, (far more lucky than in Thermae). Also Soi 4 girls are more likely to prefer Farangs, and less dick scared.

Posts: 1860Choices choices for only short trip
I'm due to be in Thailand in Jan 2020 for only 6 nights (managed to squeeze these in on business trip outside of Thailand).
I have first night booked in Bangkok. I'm not a great fan of the city, have been many times but fancied Thermae as not been and read a lot of good reports in the recent forums. That said I have a penchant for bar girls rather than FLs but let's see. Intend to travel to Pattaya then for night 2 and 3. That leaves me 3 nights. I have been to Phuket / Samui / Krabi / but not to Hua Hin (which I like the look of). So my options are to pick one of them for all three nights (in which case Phuket probably has most choice but then I find Bangla all a bit over the top). Hence wondering if I should try quieter Hua Hin (easy to get to from Pattaya / Bangkok. Obviously Samui / Phuket involve a couple more hours of travel. Would be interested to get some views from senior members of this forum on where you would recommend I spend those last three nights. Mongering if first priority over hotel / beach / tourist attractions! Would appreciate your help please guys. Nice to have these options. Would have been better to have more nights but even the 6 is a bonus.
