[QUOTE=BananaBoi;1928144]You can eat street vendor food for you and your girl for 750 baht or go to restaurants at Central Festival for lunch and dinner that will set you back around 3000 baht.[/QUOTE]750 baht of street vendor food will feed an entire Thai family, grandparents, nephews, nieces, uncles and aunts included.

.... To me a trip to Thailand is not just about bars and fucking.[/QUOTE]1. Absolutely! Not for me either. And not just Thailand. I will be headed to Puerto Plata soon for about 4 weeks. And same there!
I really enjoy the international (vs. the Enter....national) experience! I enjoy being with people of different cultures. Happy people. Even though they don't have a lot of moola.
2. As for shopping etc. , I did not include that in the budget. I spent a couple of hundred $ for a couple of high quality watches replicas / fakes and other gifts. But nothing for myself. So, since they were all gifts I did not include those in the budget. YMMV.
[QUOTE=Wolvenvacht;1928233]750 baht of street vendor food will feed an entire Thai family, grandparents, nephews, nieces, uncles and aunts included.[/QUOTE]Haha. So true. But I never eat that stuff. Only cause I am leery of falling sick due to lack of immunity to local viruses.
I will be staying again adjacent to Central Festival for 5 weeks in Jan / Feb and as usual I love the variety and the ambiance (people watching) at the Central Festival Food Court. And, the grocery store there is really, really good. And they deliver for free if you buy a min of 1,500 baht.
[QUOTE=BananaBoi;1928144]
I wish I could take a day off. Not in my DNA.[/QUOTE]You are one sorry MFker dude. I totally envy you! 👍👻😀🖖
BTW, why did you leave the girl at Central Festival when you went shopping? I assume you are German?
[QUOTE=Adrena;1928089]I wrote a post about 170 pages back. I want to re-post it with some additional info for the new bros who won't read back further than five pages and assume they have Pattaya figured out.
[/QUOTE]Thank you for your post! I agree to almost all of your points.
You are right, that you don't need a 5-star-hotel in Pattaya. In fact, you don't need that anywhere in the world. But if you prefer 5-star-hotels. Like I do. And if you can afford the rate, there is no need to change that in Pattaya. The Hilton and the Intercontinental are both very good and both are absolutely girls-friendly. If you have a status in their loyalty program: The status recognition are good at both.
Yes, you don't have to look good for the professional girls, but it helps you with the semi-professional ones and amateurs, which you can also find in Pattaya. They are usually higher educated, which is not a pro for ST or normal LT. But I stay in Thailand quite frequently and sometimes I appreciate a good conversation before, between or after the sex. And: There are not many countries in the world where it is more true to say 'clothes makes the man' than Thailand. Even if 99,99% of the tourists in Pattaya don't care about that. If you are not (too) drunken, handsome, well-dressed and have the wherewithal, you can do almost everything in Thailand.
Tip number 20 should be: Never ever fall in love with a professional or non-professional girl. For me it is unbelievable how many Thai girls have 3, 5 or more different foreign friends at the same time who support "her girl" with money every month and every one of these guys thinks, that he is her only friend.
[QUOTE=Adrena;1928089]I was 31 years old when I first went in 2015. I am a 6'2" (188 cm) 218 pound (99 kg) white American male. I have abs, an outgoing personality, and can bench more than my weight for reps. I can get girls easily in every country I've visited. I'm not bragging, I only included this info because I want to emphasize that I paid the exact same for the girls as every other member of this board. Looks do not matter! The girls want your wallet, not your abs. If I walked into a gogo and didn't buy LD (lady drinks) they would ignore me just as quickly as they would ignore an 80 year old fat ass. However, I can recall several occasions where pot-bellied men started throwing cash around without question. They were much more popular than me. Always remember the motto; "cash is king".
.[/QUOTE]Buddy of mine is just like you, same age, same body type. He has all the girls flocking to him and only buys a girl one ladydrink and they'll stay with him for hours. What's the difference? He speaks fluent Thai with their local dialect (like a southerner here's another southerner talking). He also lives in Thailand and gets all of his girls for free. His Line chat has over 900 girls on it, he'd turn it off while we were talking and I'd ask him to check an hour later and he'd have 50 chats from a ton of girls.
[QUOTE=Adrena;1928089]5. Have a game plan before you leave your hotel each morning. You don't have to plan every minute but at least know what part of town you want to visit. Thailand is hot, you don't want to be standing in the sun trying to decide where to go..[/QUOTE]I disagree on this point. You have to be fluid in your approach, you never know what might spark your interest. I would make a list of what you'd like to do and keep it handy to make sure the trip doesn't end before you can cross everything off your list.
[QUOTE=Adrena;1928089]7. Learn to love the baht buses. I walked everywhere the first two days; it was awful! I was staying near WS and I walked to Soi 6 and back several times. It was a big mistake. I eventually hopped on a baht bus, and everything was a lot easier after that revelation..[/QUOTE]Baht buses work well unless you have to walk for more than 4 minutes to catch one and then walk another 4 minutes after jumping off to reach your destination. Better option is to pay up for a motobike taxi nearby and save the extra time walking in the heat.
[QUOTE=Adrena;1928089].8. Lower your standards for what you need in a hotel. Like tip 2 suggests, don't expect things to be like back home. Do you really need to stay at a 5-star hotel? If the same answer is yes, go ahead and waste your money. You should make a list of the things you absolutely need in a hotel. My list was short: bed, toilet, near WS. I found a hotel with average ratings which was cheap. Turns out the hotel was freaking great! It was worth way more than the cost. My next trip, I'll be staying close to Soi 6.[/QUOTE]Highly disagree on your hotel choice. Location is key. Taking a WS or LK metro girl all the way down to a hotel near soi 6 is extreme. I look for hotels where the baht bus from beach road can easily take me back, where the hotel is close enough to second road to catch baht buses heading towards soi 6, a hotel within a quick walk to WS and also convienient to LK metro. Also a hotel where a WS gogo girl might not be too put off walking to the hotel vs trying to get you to use a short time room. Also close enough to the beach road girls if you spot something.

Your first point, "he speaks fluent Thai with their local dialect (like a southerner here's another southerner talking). He also lives in Thailand.".
Your buddy is playing a different game than most of us. Chess versus Checkers.
"I disagree on this point. You have to be fluid in your approach, you never know what might spark your interest. I would make a list of what you'd like to do and keep it handy to make sure the trip doesn't end before you can cross everything off your list. "
When you wake up in the morning, do you look at that list and say, "what will I do today?
You pretty much agreed with my point. I' wrote to not plan every minute, but have an idea of what you want to do. Maybe next list, I'll be more descriptive?
"Better option is to pay up for a motorbike taxi nearby and save the extra time walking in the heat".
I definitely disagree with that answer. I hate motor taxis. I know many others do as well. I haven't met anyone who hates baht buses. At most, they are indifferent towards them. Baht buses are cheaper, and easier for a first timer to accept. When they've visited SEA a few times, maybe they'll feel comfortable enough to hope on a motor taxi. They may be easier if the new bro lives far away from the action, or has a specific destination in mind, but most of the time baht buses are more flexible for a wandering first timer.
"Highly disagree on your hotel choice. Location is key."
How do you disagree when you basically go on to completely agree with what I said? I wrote, "You should make a list of the things you absolutely need in a hotel. ".
Location is something you absolutely need. Others may prefer a hotel far away from the action. That is why I left the point a little vague. Personally, I don't need a pool. I just need fast WiFi and very close to the action. That's why I prefer hotels on WS or the Queen Victoria Inn on Soi 6. I'm just wild like that. Others may want to stay in Jomtien or way out on the Dark Side.
I appreciate your insight. If a stranger were to land in Pattaya tomorrow, what advice would you give him? I sure you could throw in some extra points which can be added to the next list.
[QUOTE=DecrepitInsane;1926983]Hi everyone,
I just joined the forum. I have been reading up on the Pattaya scene for a few days, and found some great information and advice. I have been to Pattaya over 25 times over the last 10 years. Was there in May this year and hoping to go over in late November, as well.
I was a regular at Whats Up, Peppermint, Hot Tuna, Iron Club etc but moved to the beer bars at Jomtien on my last visit. Met a cute lady and had a great time.
I have been alone on all my visits, and would like to know if I could meet up with someone on my next visit in November?[/QUOTE]I was there was last May and am now making plans to be there again in November. Like you, I have been alone, except for some time I spent in BKK with my Thai lady friend, but think it is past time to meet some others. Dang, I missed out on several guys last time that I regret.

[/QUOTE]I doubt many guys on ISG fall into the Brad Pitt category. In fact, I don't see many guys looking like Brad Pitt hobbying in Pattaya! Absolutely agree about learning Thai. I'm slowly learning my Thai as I live out here longer. Girls seriously love when I converse in Thai with them. They are even more shocked when I respond to their Thai conversation, even if I respond in English.[QUOTE=Haven123;1928239]Central Festival Food Court.

Good to know. Didn't know the grocery store had free delivery.

You're correct that number is likely on the high side. I did my numbers up very quickly. However, I seem to find the girls who are the biggest eaters in Thailand!
[QUOTE=Haven123;1928243]why did you leave the girl at Central Festival when you went shopping? [/QUOTE]
After buying her some small stuff totalling 1500 baht, then spending around 1000 baht on a shirt and a pair of shorts at H&M, she moved on to Victoria Secret perfume at 3800 baht, then to look at jewellery. I don't care how pretty a girl is and this one was definitely pretty, I'll let a rich Japanese guy buy her this stuff.
[QUOTE=BananaBoi;1928582]I doubt many guys on ISG fall into the Brad Pitt category. In fact, I don't see many guys looking like Brad Pitt hobbying in Pattaya! [/QUOTE]Why is this guy's name always brought up? I have met a lot of guys off ISG and so far everyone is just an average ordinary guy, the same as Brad Pitt was before everyone saw him in Thelma and Louise back in 1991. But come to think of it, why does Tomjackin remind me so much of George Clooney?

Yeah, I took one out there as well and bought her stuff to wear for about 2000 baht. And then she was pointing to the jewelry store (probably half in jest) and I laughed out loud and pulled her by the arm, and said, yeah, please buy ME a ring!
And she said OK. 100 Baht. ! True story!
Sometimes one needs to have a good comeback. Like in the past when telemarketers called me in the US, I would say hang on, I have an even better deal and try to pretend sell them a fictional product. They would hang up. Or just laugh and say OK thanks!
Hello friends,
I required your help to decide the dates to go Pattaya.
I am planning a trip to Pattaya from Delhi (17 - 22 September) alone. Is it OK to go Pattaya in September. How about the prices of mongering there and hotels. Till now I have not booked Flight tickets & hotel. I am planning to book Penthouse Hotel.
Please give your valuable suggestion.
Best regards,
Kush
I should be there from 19th Nov onward, but still not got final details from my travel agent. When are you planning on hitting the scene?

[/QUOTE]Some wise man once said "Never let a hungry Thai girl order food".
I have also observed that most of these girls order insane quantities of food, sometimes upto 6 or 8 different dishes and barely get past 3 or 4 spoons. It is called "Hunger of the Eyes". One massage girl I was with who was a bit more sensible explained to me "Big Eyes, Small Stomach". I saw the Buddha in her eyes.

Prices for mongering services however do not seem to change during the year.
If I were you, I'd think twice about Penthouse hotel. If I'm not mistaken there have been very mixed reviews about its quality.
