[QUOTE=Mr Enternational]I concur and present the proof. 18 days til Pattaya! [/QUOTE]Well, I guess I'm going there tomorrow!
BTW, I just had a great epiphany.*****s are people too! I actually listened to one last night, I'm always pleasent to them, usually what they say goes in one ear and out the other. This gogo chick told me this sad story about her life and how she evolved from finishing college, dating a American guy, then breaking up and now she's selling her ass. She says she and her father had bigger plans for her than this. Nevertheless, having come to LOS many many times, I pretended to empathize and sent her ass back to her bar a couple hours ago. LOL! Well I'm about to go bird hunting in a few!

[QUOTE=PinkPearl]Why would they crack down during the low season in this economic crisis?[/QUOTE]Well, rationality leads me to guess that:
Less tourist --> less mongers --> less business for the Bars, Go-go's etc... --> less profit for the owners --> less payments made to the boyz in brown.
So, by cracking down the beach road at night, more girls will have not much choice but to join some type of establishment, resulting in more profits for owners and thus more bling-bling for the cops.
Also, the fact that no or less crackdowns occur during the day does support that theory, since then the bars and gogos are not yet fully operational, so no big effect on nightly income.
And the girls probably need some side money etc... and they probably don't want some kind of farang revolution since some of them shop exclusively at the beach.
[QUOTE=PauloThai]Hi Mr Enternational,
Where is the beach in your pictures?
Do you have more of these beach pictures?
Cheers![/QUOTE]
Koh Larn Island, Samai Beach. 40 minute boat ride from Pattaya. I don't have any more pictures. I was there with my ex girlfriend and had to take those pictures on the cool when she went to the toilet. I suggest bringing your own girl to the island though.
[QUOTE=Col Bog 1]Hi guys.
Sorry to ask again, but I have trouble choosing my hotel in Pattaya.
Jackmeoff has recommended some hotels to me but I haven't been able to decide myself so far.
I have checked the recommended hotels with trip advisory but couldn't find any place that would fit all my desires :
1) Close enough from the action to go there by feet, but quiet enough to be able to sleep (close form the walking district soi 9 and 10).
2) A reasonable room, with hot water, silent aircon, not too noisy & a reasonable breakfast (even though it seems very easy to have a better one outside). I'm ready to pay 1200 Baths per night.
3) A very girl friendly hotel (I've read that some hotels are not, or will "only" allow you 1 girl at a time without charge).
Do you have any recommendation that would reasonably fit my expectations ?
I've seen the Sunshine Pattaya ( [url]http://www.sunshinepattaya.com/location.html[/url] ) that looks ok, but they have some terrible reports on trip advisory ( [url]http://www.tripadvisor.fr/ShowUserReviews-g293919-d447136-r16785728-Sunshine_Hotel_Residences-Pattaya.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT[/url] ).
Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]
I usually stay at Sunshine. Never a problem. Free breakfast. This time I'll be staying at Eastiny though [url]http://www.eastinypattaya.com/eastinyplaza/index.html[/url]
My favorite
Near the action for hotel
Penthouse (1 blk from walking st)
Go go
Playgirl (located down a soi 50meters from walking st)
Beach
Koh Larn (pier located at the end of walking st. 100 meters along the beach walkway)
Seafood
Local wholesale (opposite the pier for Koh Larn at the end of walking st 50 meters, In front/next to the seven eleven store). Ask them to cook it for you. 250B per kilo live crab 150B per kilo live jumbo shrimp.
I normally take a girl to Kon Larn and we stop by the seafood vendors and get some seafood to bring out there with us because they will charge you up the aatat for seafood there. You are allow to eat/drink any food you like on the rented chairs. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ORDER FROM THEM.
[QUOTE=Opebo]a horrible sight - a lot of those scumbag farangs who volunteer as 'tourist police'[/QUOTE]Had a chat with one the other night after he overheard a few of my world-weary comments. He was a decent guy and concerned to keep the streets safe from 'scumbags', by which he meant drunks, drug addicts and thieves. He knew why we came to Pattaya so it seems a shame if they are complicit in 'cleaning up the streets'.

[QUOTE=Belmont]And how much for the total experiance???[/QUOTE]I took a lady out from Devil's Den last night, and from 10pm to 10am she cost 3200Bht (that's 3000Bht + travel expenses). You're paying for quality as well as quantity. Faultless. Perfection.
I'll tell you her name in a few days as I plan to book her again soon, and I don't want anyone else jumping the queue. :-)

Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]Baron Beach Hotel is pretty central, and quiet if you ask for a room in Block A on Soi 8 (or a balcony room overlooking the pool). Paid 1000Bht / night. Now having my breakfast in BeerGarden, only a short ride away (yeah, that's me in the blue T-shirt with laptop). Can't comment on multiple girls.

Shaolin[/QUOTE]Glad to hear about the epiphany. Next stage is to really empathise (why not? It's not that difficult, it doesn't mean you have to go and buy her a condo) and you'll become a fully paid-up member of the human race. :-)

I'll try that today.

Well, the part you leave out is that the authorities of Pattaya are not, unfortunately, entirely dependent upon the pimp-bars for their position and income. Another way to put this is that they do not solely serve the sex business. In fact they are more beholden to the hoteliers and mall-developers who have a vision of Pattaya with our ilk expelled ('cleaned up', as they so offensively put it).
I honestly believe that the primary reason for the crackdown is simply that lots of VIPs, from the mayor to the aforementioned local-booster crowd, drive down the Beach Road and find their sensibilities inflammed by seeing the girls there. Where you or I might feel a rush of pleasure at seeing so much opportunity, they think 'oh! It looks so [b]lo-class[/b]!'

And New York in the 1970s was quite the city - back then one could get laid all over the place with attractive young women for peanuts. Nowadays its hard to get laid in that town at any price. This was accomplished by the authorities.

back then you could also get mugged, raped, or murdered all over the place in new york.
peanuts? nothing was ever obtainable in ny for peanuts -- not even peanuts.

Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]I stayed there and didn't like it at all. The AC was crappy and the bed was bad. I must admit it was a few years ago, and I stayed in the old wing.
I heard from others that the rooms in the new wing is OK. Sunshine is on Soi 8, ideally situated in the "Bar Beer" area.
I think Sunbeam in the same soi, or Flipper Lodge in Soi 7 (just a stone's throw away from Sunshine) are better value.
Walking Street is just a B10 songthaew ride away, but if you prefer to stay nearer to Walking Street you could consider Diamond Beach Hotel.

Why would someone visit Pattaya other than for mongering? (except for Bangok[ians-ers-ese?] during weekends). I have been there for 3 days only in my life, and all I could deduct was that it is the world's largest open-air bar bordello, not that there's ANYthing wrong with that, at ALL! :)
If we were talking about "post card" beaches such as Phuket etc... then the idea of authorities supporting the hoteliers for "regular" tourist activities would be understandable, but certainly not in Pattaya.
This is probably why it is so easy to find higher-end guest-friendly hotel in Patts, when I am still looking for one in Phuket, which does not depend fully on the night life (Patong) and thus can eradicate "our kind" without too much effect on the tourism there.
