Posts: 492If things return to normal. Pattaya is better then Bangkok. People who know both might disagree but you don't know both. Pattaya is easy. It's small enough to get around easy. Places are easy to find. Baht buses are cheap and easy. You can walk from walking street to soi six and find aggressive sex workers or stop on soi 7 and 8 for a bit more laid back but still a bit aggressive. Or you can find casual beer bars to just sit and drink but still fuck the girls there if you want.
Bangkok has all that but it's a big city with the big city feel. You might like that better but if it's just a sex holiday and first time pattaya wins hands down.
You're asking for opinion though and that's mine others may differ.

It isn't a place a tourist would ever venture unless you go with someone I've only seen one farang in my visit and it just happens to be a friend, not a surprise he lives here and spoke good Thai. There were then lots of young local girls sitting outside but in many of the places you couldn't really sit outside majority wanted you to go inside the places were dark and seedy with a black glass door in front. So the thought was for a tourist alone will I get drugged or something many places had young kids sitting around look out and enforcements.
I hear from locals it was cheap but even for me I could never get one down to 600 baht I never partaken my brother and cousins have while I waited and sweet talk with the other girl outside. It is really hit and miss because then the girls were young many could barely speak English only " how are you " I remember the first time both took a girl from a place they took them down to another building where the rooms were like 105 baht girl wanted 800 while I sat there chatting with another girl a thought came over me I looked at my watch said to myself they will be back in a few minutes and surely with 15 minutes my brother came out shaking his head my cousin a bit later. Both last never again they would rather go to Soi 6, then Soi 6 was only 600 baht / 300 for a room. The room they both got said it was trashed, dark, towels given was like a used dirty rag. Both said they couldn't even get it up since laying on the bed they felt if something was crawling on them the added distraction the girl didn't even understand how to get a proper BJ and wouldn't unless a condom was used Oh one had to also buy a condom for 25 baht!
In spite of what I just wrote, I've had some Asian friends who live here visit often and found some gems that became regulars but they went to their places. Then on Friday and Saturday nights after 10 pm you see the young kids and older Thais cruise through the Soi, the place was packed with girls then! Many if you had the money didn't use the rooms but took the girl to a nearby place called 99, basically a short time motel you drive by the front the placed was packed with cars. Years later when my son got older we happen to cut through the Sois during the day he was staring out the window I ask him you know what the area he said yes and smiled he and his friends had cruized there at night to see what the talk was about. I try to ask him what the charge was but he said he never knew never ask because he didn't have a baht between him and his buddy. He laughed girls saw him called him Mr. Mgoo because he had thick glasses one girl told him would do him for free because she thought he was Korean and a virgin.
If they didn't find anything it is because a local complaint and their source at the Banglamung Station tip everyone off. I will put it on my list when I next cruise at night and will report back.

"Pattaya's police searched an area of the city in Naklua after reports that more than 50 women were selling themselves outside".
https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/121..._campaign=news
"On both sides of the road in front of ten closed lounges were groups of women in skimpy clothing that amounted to more than 50 individuals in total. In a blurred out video the reporter said he was visiting and inquired about prices. He was told that it was 1,200 for short time on the premises and 1,350 off site with a better room. All night would set him back 3,500 to 4,000 baht. There was no shortage of customers. There was a steady stream of cars and motorcycles circling and stopping. ".

On Soi Baukhao, just outside the LK Metro next to the closed Climax outdoor bar or few doors down is Jasmine Villa use it a few time years back not sure what the cost now. If you got a motorbike many use the Love Inn just off 3rd Road or Viva up the road from the Big see extra on Klang.

Re transfers, Transferwise (Wise they call themselves now.) is even cheaper, and the fee is effectively a percentage of the amount and pretty much same regardless of the amount, so no need to send a lot at a time and still low cost. If big amount, still cheaper than SWIFT transfer as the rate they use is better than banks use for SWIFT receptions. I was using SWIFT transfers before, but since I learned about Transferwise, not after that.
Typically next day in BKK bank account here when send from my bank in Europe so easy to manage in real time online.
So really is much better to open an account if frequent visitor, esp if you dont have one of those US fee-waiving cards. No worries about credit card fraud either as can use local ATM / debit card for all payments.
Online banking I think still requires one year visa (I think, not sure, but was so when I opened my acct), but that is not necessary.

Posts: 2439Thai bank account
I opened a bank account with Bangkok Bank on 2nd road (opposite Soi 6) in 2017 while on a visa waiver. Provided I transfer substantial amounts at a time (like 10 k euros), SWIFT transfers from Europe are not expensive. This is one thing I like about Thailand. It's not just the overheads that are low, the exchange rate is also OK, not some fancy scamming exchange rate like banks in South America hit you with.
If I were to name one thing that I would regret about Thailand if I settled elsewhere, that would be it: easy access to my money.
