[QUOTE=GymWhite]Draco,
Thanks for the information on travel to Pattaya during the day. I would like to know what options I have aroung midnight when my plane always seems to come in. I have tried unsucessfully to get others to share a ride. I think I will pack a sign and marker to hold up. My best bartering bring a price of 1200 baht.
Any other suggestions?[/QUOTE]
[email]mr_ttaxi@hotmail.com[/email] will charge 1000bht from airport BKK to Pattaya.
Had a good service from him
A good alternative is Pattaya Taxi. [url]http://www.pattaya-taxi.com/[/url]
They are reliable and frive good cars. Just send an email with your flight number and he will be waiting at exit 3 at the arrival area with a sign with your name on it. 1100 Bt, no hassle, any time! I used them for the first time 3 weeks ago and was really impressed.

I've also used this service 4 times, and they are always on time and reliable. Frankly, after travelling for nearly 30 hours from the west coast, it's worth the cost difference between a public bus and a private driver to take you to Pattaya. As noted above, the driver is waiting for you with a sign, and about 90 minutes later you're being dropped off at your hotel. I've also used this service back to the airport from Pattaya, and I received the same fine service. For just under 31 USD you can't beat it.
By the way, each of the drivers that I've had speak little or no English, which isn't a problem, as they have been given instructions where to deliver you, and the 90 minutes of silence is great for taking a little nap.
While I have seen many reports of places that people enjoy and recommend, I have not seen all that many reports of places to NOT visit. Sure, some reports with hints (and obvious STAY AWAY messages) of places not to visit have been posted - but I would really appreciate if you have suggestions of such places...and why you think its a good idea to not visit them.
Trying to gather some information before I head down in june of what places to stay clear of ;)
I'll be in Thailand next week (yeay!!) and know BKK pretty well from previous trips so this time I thought I'd give Pattaya a go.
Guys, are there any specific bars and go-go's you can recommend for young (18-21) beautiful girls? (Actually, for me cuteness outweighs beauty, but anyways).
I was recommended the Sabai Inn as a decent, clean place to stay. Anybody stayed there? I like to be close to the action but not right in the middle of it, so if you have any suggestions where to stay, please let me know.
Also, what's the going rate for bar fines, LS and ST in Pattaya these days?
Please bear with me for asking all these super basic questions. Man, I'm soooo exited to be going to LOS again!
Gentlemen,
I have been going through the reports an cannot seem to find any upto date information on the Russain Freelancers in Pattaya.
Do they have a place in Pattaya like they have in Bangkok like CM2.
CM2 in Novotel Hotel in bangkok - A disco with russian, Uzbeks chicks freelancing.
Anyone have any information if somehting like that or a bar that russian freelancers frequent?
Thanks.

[QUOTE=AsianChaos]Anyone have any information if somehting like that or a bar that russian freelancers frequent[/QUOTE]I don't know about bars but if you take a stroll along Walking Street you will come across many East Block girls that work as free-lancers and try to pick up clients there. They will "give you the eye" so you now they're available.
I heard that they also visit bars in that vicinity frequented by Arabs.
I've also frequently spotted them in front of the hotel across the new Central Festival shopping mall on 2nd Road that seems to be used a lot by Indian package tour tourists.
As Russians girls are not my cup of tea I haven't paid any attention to them.
[QUOTE=TripleX]I would stay away from the Kitten Club Half ladyboys, extremely high drink prices and though I haven't experienced it I have heard a lot of complaints of them padding peoples' bills.[/QUOTE]The old middle eastern girls on Walking Street are no Russians. They are Uzbekhs, Kasachs, Turkmenistanians, etc.
There is an Russian club behind Tonys Disco, with Russian table dancers. I am not sure if they go with customer, but I doubt. Except if you offer a little fortune. But, there are Russian Tourists and if you try you might br able to invite one for a dinner. Maybe you can land with her into your Hotel room, but that is not for sure.

Galaxy go go unless you like to be ripped off by the russian mafia
Tony's disco rip off
I wouldn't want to be in Lucifers if there was ever a fire.

Hi, having read the replies to your request, I have to agree, there are very limited Russian Bars etc in and around Pattaya that so called Freelancers may frequent.
Towards the end of Walking St there are a couple of places which are totally Russian orientated, not only the menu etc, but even the Thai band perform (poorly) in Russian. I spotted quite a few groups of girls there who could be just enjoying their holiday, but might be available to a daring Monger.
Another angle to try is the day trip on the ferry to nearby Island of Koh Larn, hundreds of Russkis go over every day. Samai Beach is one of their favourite haunts and we saw several groups of young russian girls all having a good time. Easy to spot them, mostly fake blondes with their tits out in the sun. Once again a daring monger might chance his luck and find something to chew on.
Hope this helps,
Cheers, FF
Hi Guys,
I'm searching for a tailor in Pattaya who is experienced with white tie (tailcoat) and cutaway.
Does anone of you have a guess?
Best regards
Can anyone recommend a good dentist in Pattaya for major work (bridge work). I found "The German Dental Co", now called "The European Dental Clinic." [url]http://www.travel-dental.com/web_engl/prices.htm[/url]
Highly recommended by many patients for quality, but more expensive than Thai dentists (a bridge is 35000 Baht / US$1000)
Any other recommendations?
[QUOTE=Piper1]...Any other recommendations?[/QUOTE]
I go to another "German Dental Clinic" aka "Inter Dental Clinic" (don't know if related) on Thappraya Rd (the road from South Pattaya to Jomtien) and am very satisfied with their services which are quite reasonable and inexpensive. (cleaning is only $24USD)
I thought I was going to need several crowns but after an examination was told that I didn't need any so I believe they are quite honest and reliable.
The office is large; there are several dentists; and scrupulously clean.

I like women in general of all shapes and sizes. In addition to the usual sized Thai ladies which I love, I was wondering if anyone has noticed any place, bar, disco where ever where ladies that were a little thicker (wider hips, bubble butts) tended to hang out? It may sound like a silly question to some, but I have always learned in like it never hurts to ask.
Thanks,
JohnnieBravo
