Pattaya Reports

[QUOTE=FastEddie48;1640124]To Tom.

So when is the last time you are in Pattaya 3 yr ago or 10 yr ago Top market at central pattaya remodel 5 yr ago they don't have the grilling station that grill seafood or steak anymore only the Deli avalible, food court is still there but no business after central festival mall food court open.

Fast eddie 48.[/QUOTE]Since we are on the topic of food. My last trip in March -.

The top floor (5?) of Mike's Mall has a remodelled food court. Not the selection or quality of Central floors (3-5) but clean, fast & fills need for cheap snack.

[QUOTE=Mouse1;1640076]Or you could try closing the windows and turning on the air con. Never once have I been bitten by a mosquito in Pattaya.[/QUOTE]Mouse1,

Close the window and turn on the AC. Why didn't I think of that? No, both the AC and window were closed. Getting bit by bugs is all part of being in a 3rd world country. Even sitting in one of the open door restaurants here bugs are everywhere. I can't imagine not having bugs around you. Unless you are covered head to toe in bug spray. But, here taking so many showers and massages. I prefer no bug spray.

Team,

I am staying near Mikes shopping Mall. Is there any weight lifting gym someone can recommend near this area?

[QUOTE=TomSf;1639911]Lots of great artwork on the street next to Mikes Shopping center. I definitely want to by some paintings very reasonable. Now shipping is a different story. [/QUOTE]You take it off the wooden frame and roll it up to travel with it then you have it framed for hanging when you get home.

[QUOTE=TomSf;1640159]Team,

I am staying near Mikes shopping Mall. Is there any weight lifting gym someone can recommend near this area?[/QUOTE]I found Tonys gym. About 15 minute walk from Mikes. What is strange is there are actually two Mikes gyms 100 feet from each other. One inside and one outside which is better. Both are part of same gym. After I exercised in the indoor one that was more like a sauna. I left and found the other one. Gym was about what to expect in Pattaya.

Started with a nooner. First two girls were not good when The took off there cloths. Latter in the day picked up 2 more on same street as Honey Body massage cross street is second road. The girls change everyday or do long time with customers so always new girls. The last 2 had incredible bodies. The last one I picked up wanted 1000 baut. I talked her down to 700 her English was excellent. When I go pay. The manager wanted 300 bar fine plus 200 for the room. F- that. I told her I would just pay the bar fine and take her to my room. This chick was gogo girl hot 21 years old. We get back to my room. It was very rushed and she even was asking me to hurry up and cum now she wants to eat. WTF? Glad I did not agree to 1000 baut. Anyway, after we shower and she gets ready to leave I give her 700 baut as agreed before. She starts with its 1000 baut. I tell her we agreed on 700 and say she rush me the whole time. She popped out a big smile on her face and busted out laughing. She realized I was not a sucker and was not going to fall for her Bull S.

The last girl was the only reason I wrote the post. Stick up for yourself guys and don't let these girls hustle you.

[QUOTE=TomSf;1639911]Next time I come to Thailand I am going to buy one of those sleeping nets to sleep in. Every night I am getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. I definitely recommend it.[/QUOTE]I recommend to take Malarone to be sure that you will not get malaria. It's quite expensive but it works well. You can take it as preventive (1 pill a day) or as a treatment in case you get malaria (3 days 4 pills a day).

[QUOTE=Mouse1;1640075]A better alternative might be to barfine the girl (perhaps 500bht?) and take her back to your room for a more relaxed session. But to be honest, Soi 6 isn't about relaxed lovemaking.[/QUOTE]Mouse1 and Fast Eddie 48,

Thanks for advice.

I understood Soi 6 means: 1300 BTH = 1 hour = 1 shot, right? Does the same rule applies in general for ST freelances / bar girls? Or this is up to negotiations for example 1000 BTH = 2-3 hours = multiple shots?

Not only did the girl try to get you for an extra 300, the lady at the shop tried too when she asked for 200 more. Even if you were going to do the girl upstairs, the 300 baht you gave for the barfine covers the room.

I'd sure appreciate it if you would please note the location of the ones you are referring to.

Thanks.

From Soi Honey / Soi11, head North on Soi Bukhao about 300 m and you will find it on the left side (near the are-Con beer bars and the market).

[QUOTE=TomSf;1640231]After I exercised in the indoor one that was more like a sauna. I left and found the other one.

There is another one right at the intersection of 3rd Road/Pattaya Tai but that one is only for Thais and is uncovered/outdoors.

Thanks[/QUOTE]I originally wanted to go to Powerhouse Gym at 139 Moo 10 Soi 16, Walking Street, Pattaya, Bang Lamung, Walking Street. Pattaya, Pattaya, 20150. It is supposed to be right off walking street. I just could not find it. After 40 minutes of searching in the heat. I asked a motor bike to take me to the gym and he took me to Tonys Gym. From where I was an the direction he took me the gym was most likely Moo 12, Thappraya Road, Jomtien, Bang Lamung, Jomtien, Pattaya, 20150.

The are gyms in Pattaya but they all seem to be outside the tourist areas. Tonys gym was about a 20 minute walk from Mikes Shopping center. But, because there are a couple of them you have to find one that is closest to you.

If you get bitten a lot you can use a spray (with DEET if you want), that's all you need.
