Pattaya Reports

Hi all,

Having spent slight under 2 weeks there, I would give my thoughts and a small guide for other newcomers in a way that I would find helpful for myself. In light of recent events, please keep in mind that the observed period was September / early October.

My impression of Pattaya: Amazing and I am not sure if there is another place like it. I hope to be corrected. To me it seems a marvel for the sex industry, with its concentration and openness seemingly unparalled with something for every taste.

I remember initially when I naively asked a few weeks ago on this forum where the action was. The answer for Pattaya seems to be everywhere. I have never seen a place like this where the sex industry essentially dominates and is omnipresent (a regular nonworking Thai girl I met in Bangkok angrily referred to it literally as « Sex City » when I mentioned I was going there). However omnispresent, however large the choices, some judgement is needed on where to go and where to stay.

I personally took the Intimate Hotel in Central Pattaya (Soi 14) which in retrospect was a good choice, though I am curious about others on an equal standard for my next trip. The city is sufficiently small that one could walk to the major areas from other places. Transport options are motorbike taxis, usually for 50 or 60 baht to get from say, Walking Street to Soy Pukhao. The baht buses usually have a fixed route along a main road (Thanon) costing 10 baht wherever you get off.

Beach Road runs along the sea. Second Road is the parallel next road which should be the spine of ones ventures into Pattaya's nightlife. The Sois run on both sides. A map however is useful. The furthermost West side of Beach Road brings one to Walking Street which I think is a worthy place to start.

-Walking Street: Longer and with many more Gogo Bars than its equivalent in Phuket (Bangla Road in Patong). On my first night I couldn't believe it how many there were. I must have been in most of them, and my particular favourites would be: Peppermint, Baccara, HappyAgogo, Alcatraz. The side street to left going down (Soi Pattaya 15 on the map) has Windmill and BabyDolls agogo, as well as my personal more expensive favorite, Whats Up, which well, is in my opinion, the higher scale of what is available. These are by far not the only ones, but the ones that left an impression. As has been written, the prices on Walking Street are very high. Barfines of 800 to 1000 baht, then often Short Time prices of 2000 or 3000 Long Time. This is the most touristy part of Pattaya so I guess it is to be expected. Crowds every night of Chinese package tourists, and Japanese. Gogobars were open till 3 am from what I could see.

Walking Street of course has Insomnia and Ibar, which I admit that I only spent once inside of. I probably should give it another chance some other time. This nightclub has a number of freelancers, which skips the barfine cost, but then, I suppose the rest depends on what you can negociate.

-Beer Bars: These are everywhere and were my preferred venues. Barfines of 300 to 500, Long Time 1500 around. Pattaya is jampacked with these and they seemed to be open very late, lights on or off. Some do not close at all, proven by me hanging around one till 6 am one morning, and after realizing (I was slow) that the girl I was talking to was available, took an early morning pickup that I never forgot. Though you probably would find them if you had both your eyes gouged out, the areas I'the mention are Soi 10 opposite the Bay Breeze Hotel and a massive garden just behind the Pattaya Night Bazaar following through all the way to the next parallel road.

-Massage parlors: Literally everywhere and chances are the girls will be harassing you throughout your stay to come. Soy Honey is known amongst others for these.

-Soy Pukhao / LK Metro: Go here. Follow Second Road's Soi 13 all the way down, and you'll see that this is another major centre. To the left, near the LK Metropolitaine hotel after which the area is named, is a winding road which contains a number of gogo bars (the Office and Sugar Bar being good ones), clubs, beer bars which is less frequented by the tourists, a square of roads.

Soi Langkee which has some blowjob bars, including the conspicuous LaPoste is here, open during the daytime.

Much further down Second Road:

Soy 6 : Open during the day. Useful given that Pattaya is a place that elsewhere only seems to get going around 8-9 pm. Has bars all along the road that offer Short time 1400 I think, with upstairs rooms. Or Barfines of 500 around. Some bars offer much higher bar fines starting at a 1000 for earlier in the day that go down to 500 by 10 pm.

Soy 7 : Great beer bar street full of girls.

Soy 8 : less stuff available, some beer bars though. The notable entry here is the Silverstar Gogo bar, which is good for a pop-in to see if you like it. Full nudes, nice girls, ping pong stuff. Not for everyone.

I felt safe wherever I was, and never felt I was in danger of being robbed or attacked. The people are great, the service of the girls, in general, amazing. Though I would put the caveat that you shouldn't always take the best looking one, looking for some interest on her side, to avoid kicking her out when she turns out to not provide any service back in the room. Pattaya is the place and I'm glad I discovered it finally.

I was planning on coming back in November, but with the mourning period, I may have to choose somewhere else if everything remains dead. Angeles City maybe?

[QUOTE=Gagoo;1948957]I've read that the mourning period will be one year, and entertainment facilities need to tone it done for at least 30 days. I'm sure with the current leadership, this will be strictly enforced. And many Thai business owners will respect and understand that anyways. And good Thailand mongerer should have a big list of phone numbers anyways. I imagine the soapy and fishbowl places in Bangkok will be available, but maybe not for a few days. I'm sure the Thai people are truly sad about this. Perhaps more ladies will be seen on the streets pretending to be good girls. There might be bars open. But doors closed and no music.[/QUOTE]Buddy of mine living in Bangkok was told by a gogo girl he knows that the gogo's will be closed for a month.

[QUOTE=Breadman;1949011]Buddy of mine living in Bangkok was told by a gogo girl he knows that the gogo's will be closed for a month.[/QUOTE]Mixed reports out there. First it was 30 days now they are stating 3 and 7 days for select bars. I'm sure Walking Street will fall into one of the shorter closure categories. This is why a girl's Line is the most important thing we can all have.

For independents in both Pattaya and BKK no more that 1000 baht. Be ready to walk if they won't take it and start to walk. Maybe they will stop you. We set the price not them team.

[QUOTE=BangkokBull;1948841]I'm in Bangkok and no of course the country don't shutdown. We don't know all the plans yet. But so far life goes on, but please consider wearing black when outside in Thailand if practically possible.[/QUOTE]I read this too and that is when I frantically started trying to contact Korean Air to push my trip back a bit. I have reservation for Sunday, returning 11 days later. I can understand the closures, but with that level of public mourning, its going to be a bummed out place, I am afraid. Hey, I am very sympathetic to the Thai people, and I understand they are really hurting now. But, this is not the introduction you would want to the Land of Smiles.

We are swamped at work, so my boss was delighted to hear I wanted to delay my trip. Problem is Korean Air customer service apparently can't just tell you how much it will cost to change your reservation or if seats are available without an agent calling you back within 24 hours. Customer service rep I spoke with had an East Indian accent. Fuck! And I heard there were a really cracking airline. Their website is sporadic as well. Sometimes it can pull up my reservation and sometimes it cannot locate it. Plus the KAL ticker counter at the airport is only open a few hours before their daily flight. Just floating that info out there to you fellow travelers. I am very disappointed with KAL.

You seem like my type of guy hitting all the gogo bars.

Just to be more specific for the others, Soi 7 and Soi 8 are imo more ladyboys than girls.

Can I recommend Phnom Penh? Read their thread in about a week or so. I'll write something up when I return to Pattaya.

I'm not sure if you remember, but I wrote you a few weeks ago with a link to my report on Phnom Penh a few years ago (http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?937-Phnom-Penh&p=1572911&viewfull=1#post1572911).

Yeah, it was meant more as a first time guide for others rather than for the more seasoned Pattaya goers such as yourself. But guides like these I think can be quite helpful.

Then come back to PP I may still be here! Kidding. Even if bars are shut down in thailand I have many girls on Line in Bangkok and Pattaya to keep me busy.

[QUOTE=Lanthano;1948954]I hope you're enjoying it.

I was planning a return to Pattaya in November, based on this, this might have to be shelved. I'll be standing by for updates.[/QUOTE]I'm currently in Bangkok for a conference. I arrived the day before yesterday (great timing!) and was too busy the first night with work to go out. I didn't even try to go out last night.

People are generally distraught. Some of our student volunteers weer crying last night. I spent a coupe of hours consoling some of the girls I know via line too.

But I am sure that things will get back to normal in a week or so. If you are coming down in November you should be fine. That's at least my impression.

However, the next few days could be pretty dead. I'm leaving on Wednesday so I will join BB down in Phenom Penn. I am headed down tomorrow right after the conference.

[QUOTE=BananaBoi;1948880]All bars have shut down for the night. Girls are messaging me not knowing what to do. They are waiting to hear how long everything will be closed for and if more than a week will likely go home. I suspect bars closed at least a week. Thailand PM said no festivities for 30 days. Not sure if that means bars.

Luckily I'm presently in Phnom Penh sitting in the heart of the Red Light District.[/QUOTE]Where is that specifically? I was under the impression that there were three different, unconnected, streets oriented towards nightlife, which offered girls in various settings.

It is just my opinion. The Article stating the PM comments, " Asking the people to Refrain from Entertainment for a month ".

They are just asking and asking is this? Business shouldn't appear as normal? If you put a spotlight on yourself the place will be closed? You might see a request that places observed the closing time? You might see some type of curfew on Entertainment places like when the coup took place. Place must close at Midnight or 2 am, you will see Thais or even at the Go Go's, girls wearing Black for a few days to observe. A few days at the most, a week and that depends on the situation and how little respect you have for the situation?

I hear many members talk about finding girls using line but I guess you have to meet one BR can get their line ID or is there some way to find line contacts for girls you have not already met? Please help if you know of any sites to find line contacts for girls in Pattaya, thanks.

It's morning now and the girls' focus has now shifted from mourning to OMG how am I going to make money? None of my gogo girls have contacted me with this concern, likely because the ones I know make enough money, but my bar girls and G-club girls are in a state of pure panic.

You know we'll have a blast in Phnom Penh, Uncle V. You're the one who convinced me to come to PP for my Visa run!

I really understand the Thai people. But I just arrived yesterday and want to stay here 9 night. And now I don't not know what to do!

Was out yesterday in Soi 7. Some bars open at 0:30 wit no music. King film on TV. Mood was down.

Unfortunately I had to have a new smartphone. And through this I lost all my line contacts.

Will be interesting in the next days.
