Pattaya Reports

[QUOTE=NattyBumpo;2474637]There is a thread on the ISG set aside specifically for those that want to wage war and argue politics. The thread is called American Politics or something like that. I am too lazy to look it up. I call it the rubber room because I think you have to be crazy to want to go argue this crap but it is there just the same for those that want to avail themselves of it. The problem is that there are a couple of serial violators of forum rules who feel they must get their message out and it is not enough to keep it bottled up in the designated thread. Admin has repeatedly deleted or moved these offending political posts, but the perps keep posting and arguing their politics in inappropriate forums. It is ego mania. It is all about them. Nothing else matters. They can't help themselves.[/QUOTE]And why are you posting something here that is not about sex?

Is it all about you? Nothing else matters? Can't help yourself?

We ALL do it for the reasons he cited, including you, me and him. It is just the nature of message boards.

Finally fucked a chick yesterday that I have been trying to get with a while. When I dropped her off this afternoon, I handed her the money. She looked down quickly and saw 100's. She got mad and said I told you 1000! I said okay. Give me that back and I will give you 1000. She handed it back to me and I gave her back the 1000 that was wrapped inside the 2 100's.

[QUOTE=Turgid;2474407]In my next visit to Thailand if I do not get to bang the equivalent quality of girls I got at Nataree in 2015 [/QUOTE]I'm willing to bet you won't, the scene went down a few notches since 2015 in both Bangkok and Pattaya. Still, quality of girls is in the eye of the beholder, so I guess you'll have to try it yourself (and likely get disappointed), not take some random monger's word for it.

[QUOTE=Berrys66;2473945]Comment from thaivisa.

Mr Meeseeks.

I was in Pattaya yesterday and the beach was empty. It looked pristine.

Businesses gone everywhere; boarded up, shut down, for sale and rent, gutted out, entire blocks fenced off.

The odd foreigner wandering about, but it was like a ghost town.

The party is truly over for anyone involved in the tourism sector. And for the foreseeable.

If you are a foreigner with a business in tourism, you should have cut your losses and ran already.

Worse to come too, travelling to these areas will become more dangerous with more scams, gouging, crime rates will rise exponentially against foreigners, envy and jealousy of people with money will kick in and things will get nasty.

Those that were prudent and squirreled away money for a rainy day may get through this.

Spendthrifts and money-wasters that live hand to mouth are in trouble.[/QUOTE]Plenty of bars packed. Pin-up standing room only. Windmill full from soon after 5 pm Crystal, Lady Love, Queen on L. K all raking the money in. 808, Ibar etc doing great guns. High end restaurants on the beach packed at weekends with the Bangkok crowd.

Quality of girls on soi 6 through the roof as some gogos still closed, very few customers there so easy pickings.

Brilliant here at the moment.

A bunch of restaurants and other businesses are shuttered on Walking Street and all around town. Beach Road and Second Road are ghost towns except for evenings when people come out to exercise or weekends when Bangkok people come. (Some places are only opening on weekends.) Pattaya Bazaar: the few shops that are open inside are not making money. I went in at 5 pm yesterday and bought a shirt and it was the first 240 baht the lady had seen all day. And they close at 7.

Unfortunately a weekend crowd is not enough to sustain the expensive rents on Beach Road and Walking Street. Yes there are thousands of girls to fuck here, but like he said most tourist shit is belly up. The bowling alley at The Avenue has also closed. They had knocked down some buildings and part of a parking lot on Pattaya Klang in order to do the pop up food and drink stands. That shit lasted 2 weeks and now it is an empty space.

A lot of craftsmen have headed home too. I recently had some jewelry made. The lady told me it would take 2 weeks. Well it ended up taking 1 month. She did not know the factory that makes the molds was closed so they had to make everything by hand. Went to get something made of wood on Theprassit: nope. I guess the lady was the owner said the carpenter had gone home because there is no business. But you can fuck until you pass out.

Original plan was for it to starting in April 2020. I have this funny feeling that may no longer be quite on the cards anymore.

I knew something was strange. I keep meeting chicks on Tinder and they say they are in quarantine. But then when the quarantine is over they leave Pattaya. Talking to one chick now. She said she came from Oman. There were 8 buses that came to Pattaya for 2 quarantine hotels here. She is at the Beverly Hotel. Said she leaving on the 1st when she finish. She was surprised that I did not know.

A serious question about tourism in Pattaya -- other than the primary aspect this thread generally focuses on: What is there to do in Pattaya?

With references to the beaches, I have read a lot of reports that the beaches are not that nice, and the water in the bay is dirty (really not suitable for swimming). If a beach day or water sport is of interest, a day trip outside of town is more suitable.

As for tourist sites, there I've seen mention of the "Big Budda", the "Sanctuary of Truth", (etc) -- but these are more modern constructs vs antiquity.

I hope that a frequent visitor can provide some of the serious feedback I am seeking.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.[/QUOTE]You might spend an afternoon and evening at Pattaya Floating Market out on Sukhumvit Road. It isn't a real floating market as one would go to buy general grocery items. It is more of a floating market type theme park. But not a bad way to spend a couple of family friendly hours with a date just to break up the usual bar runs. Boat rides, zip line atraction, food, drink and shopping, lots of photo op areas the girls usual like.

Seems to me it used to be open into the night but now I see online that it closes at 6pm. Maybe not nearly enough new people (tourists) these days to keep it open longer.

Not far from there on the other side of Sukhumvit Road is an elephant ride attraction if you or your date is into it.

[QUOTE=Qeast;2477953]A serious question about tourism in Pattaya -- other than the primary aspect this thread generally focuses on: What is there to do in Pattaya?[/QUOTE]Not a whole heck of a lot which is why I can't see how Pattaya will survive without the sex industry. Out of all the tourist things the only one that impressed me was Sanctuary of Truth. Sure there are a couple of half decent shopping malls and markets but I don't know many people who will fly half way around the world for that. It was good there weren't many other things to do in Pattaya as that would only make them a distraction from the bars and girls. My usual day didn't start until 4 pm hitting Soi 6 or a G club, then gogo bars from 7:30 pm, then out to the Thai bars with some gogo girls at 3 am. No time to do anything else really.

[QUOTE=Qeast;2477953]A serious question about tourism in Pattaya -- other than the primary aspect this thread generally focuses on: What is there to do in Pattaya?[/QUOTE]Contrary to others, to me there is a lot of things to do in Pattaya. These hundreds of double decker tour buses are not hauling old ass Chinese people around for them to go to bars. Before I travel I always look on Trip Advisor under things to do to see what there is to do in a place. [URL]https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g293919-Activities-Pattaya_Chonburi_Province.html[/URL].

You have water parks, markets, Silver Lake Vineyards, Tiger Zoo in Sri Racha, Coral Island, ladyboy show, tons of great restaurants, badminton. Whenever my friends or family members come here I always run out of time showing them around (and I am not talking about bars.) Shocker: I have never even been to the Santuary of Truth. And that is #1 on Trip Advisor list. I guess I have been cheating my visitors all these years.

Many people like to spend a night on the island with a chick, but I prefer to come back at 5 pm on the next to last boat.
