The Pattaya of old is still there
The Pattaya of old is still there you just need to go away from the tourist area.
Ideas to start your day with:
For earlier bird, the little beer bar on the front of the Blues factory (Walking street) is flush with choice free lance, however the pickings are pretty much finished by 9:30 10-ish so get there early.
# breakfast at the Golf Club on Metro, I know $$ but it is pretty good quality!
# Second stop the message shops across from Triangle to help digest Breakfast -3 hole service-.
# slowly make your way over to Soi-6 Jomtien to Yellow message for a pre-lunch rub and shag.
# grab a bite at the American Burgers Kiosk just down the beach.
# slowly make your way to the top of Soi 6 Pattaya and hit Bee Bar, They'll Blow ya by the pool table and even bang ya in the WC, or if ya really want the touch-E feel-E you can head up stairs for 500 baht either or are up to the task.
# Welkom in Soi 2 always a good watering hole and give you time to negotiate the price to an amicable rate.
# Back to the triangle area for drinks a couple places to choose from with specials every day.
# Later around 10-ish at night hit buffalo or the freelance at the front of walking street beach side.
# They do have some other Expat clubs up on the hill between Jomtien and Pattaya (over in Scanda-hoolagin land) but forgot the names. One has an over priced buffet that you don't eat and is subsequently taken off your bill don't be surprised by it. BUT they have great wealth of quality poon at an Expat price. You'll just have to chat with a couple expats to finds the location.
This is what happens as you get older, your memory is stuck on faded events and happy endings, you get more ridged and fussy. They are correct in some respects but very unrealistic in others, these guys are also a great source of information but what they say needs to be taken with a grain of salt. What is more important is you learn from the old boys about how to spend your vacation $$$ . That lesson is called "Don't be a two week millionaire".
The game is the same, nothing has changed. Just enjoy, I'm coming in to town in a couple weeks can't wait!
Hope this helped?
[QUOTE=FeelzGood;1687751]I am planning another good time trip to Pattaya. But if Pattaya is getting so bad is it the time of the year? Or is it just morfing into a so so mongering environment? I am a relative newbie to the Pattaya scene the last few years and always had a good time.
But talking to some old-timers that tell me stories of the way it used to be 10-20 years ago, the stories are incredible and almost hard to believe. Anyway, I look forward to my one fun trip a year and my question is.
If Pattaya is not the mongering jewel of the world for price, quality and quantity, then could someone tell me where I should go and spend my hard earned money for a good time based on price, quality and quantity.[/QUOTE]
