Pattaya Reports

[QUOTE=SinfullyKorean;2759027]Book your first 7 days in advance. Then, see if you want to go down to Pattaya. If you're dead set on that schedule, then no problem with booking ahead of time.

I suggest booking somewhere between BTS Nana and BTS Asoke for your BKK trip. And near 2nd road, between S Pattaya Rd and Central Pattaya Rd for Pattaya. This will keep you close to most of the action. Soi 6 is easily accessible via the baht bus.[/QUOTE]I have booked a room in Mytt hotel, Pattaya beach road for next years trip. Is it girlfriendly? I have booked for two people. This is supposed to be 5 star hotel.

[QUOTE=ElMexicant;2754516]Value or Not?

As for the current debate on the value of Pattaya compared to your home country or the parts of the world for mongering. One must not forget about the illusion factor or entertainment factor. Walking around, holding hands, with a 19 year old village girl, thinking you are in love and everything is rosy with world is priceless. Same like being old as dirt and going to a night club with loud Thai techno music you don't recognize, almost seizuring from the lasers, but you still are a Rockstar. Same just like the illusion of being a millionaire when you are only spending 2,000 USD in 2 weeks is also priceless. This is what Pattaya offers. These are how lifetime memories are made. Let us not forget, that regret because naivety is what makes it all memorable. The escape from everyday life has no price.[/QUOTE]Excellent and very to-the-point comment. Could not agree more. I have been mongering in Asia for 20 years and tried China, Phillippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, Cambodia and Thailand. Some of the aspects of travel and mongering can be better in one of the other destonations, but no other country can challenge Thailand on the combination of issues that is important in my travels. And the list is long; from safety issues to food, culture, standards of hotel, people, service etc. There is a reason Pattaya get all these tourists and I am sure they will kick back after the terrible covid years. I am impressed with the way Thai people have handled difficult times. As we get older, the rockstar experience can only be had in a few places in the world. But in Thailand you can still have this experience at a relatively cheap price. The "escape from every day" life cost a lot of money in travel expenses etc. But maybe it is well spent money after all? We only live once.

Does anybody actually go to Treetown and have fun?

It looks horribly Horrid. Ghost town like.

When I went in September (2 week trip), I would say all 3 were equally busy. It doesn't help that they are tearing up the streets there to re-pave. It was all dirt roads 6 weeks ago.

[QUOTE=TimTimms;2759195]Does anybody actually go to Treetown and have fun?[/QUOTE]And yes, I had a lot of fun there.

YouTube videos are the way to live and makke your decisions. Forget your personal real life experiences. Miss out on life because you were convinced by YouTube.

Girls like to show off there, not clear however which girls are available and which aren't. More like a socialising venue than a mongering one. The food there is nothing special to say the least.

If you're what they want right then.

If they say no, then ask them for their LINE or other contact details.

Nearly always they will give them.

It's not necessarily sex central as there are only a couple of gogos, but as far as freelance opportunity (face to face, not thaifriendly) tree town is a great spot to hangout starting as soon as sundown.

Seriously, lots of customers and lots of ladies. There are some bars hidden inside that are not outdoors.

Here's a pro tip for newbies:

If you are in a small bars and are drinking with a lady, if they ask you if you would like to hear some music, don't ask for 50 year old classic rock, or 80's or 90's stuff. On the other hand, don't ask the lady what she wants, she will play some Esan music that will drive other customers away, and maybe you. The happy medium is Reggeton, the customers can tolerate it, and the ladies like it. Put "Ram Pam Pam" on YouTube, and the ladies will be very happy.

Nothing makes the ladies more bored than hearing obscure 70's British music.

Tree Town is a place for the guys who enjoy outdoor bar beers like the 100's of bars along Soi Buakhao, Soi Diana, LK Metro, Lengkee, and Soi 25. Clientele is usually the same. Older balding men on a budget. I actually don't mind walking through Tree Town. Kind of entertaining. I don't watch YouTube videos but when I first walked through it was definitely a much larger area than I thought. Ghost town? Absolutely not. There are lots of girls or should I say women there and enough customers around. Have I ever bought a lady drink there? Nope. They are not top tier girls. There are on the bar beer and Beach Road level.

Swung by Soi 6 tonight (Sunday). Arrived around 4:30 pm. Any earlier and it's been rather dead from my experience this trip anyways. Couldn't believe how many girls there were tonight. Every bar had all street front seats full of girls. Easily the most girls on Soi 6 I have seen this trip. A couple of days during this week it was extremely quiet. Guess girls are making a return after hearing this week that BKK airport was overflowing with tourists. Quality tonight was decent. The best strip of Soi 6 bars are along the Nightwish strip from Around Playpen to Passion. Unfortunately these are the bars where most girls ask for 1500 to 2000 in addition to the 400 baht barfine. I've negotiated all girls I wanted back to 1000 except for 1 who wouldn't go below 1200. Prices inflated because guys who don't know any better are willing to pay 1500-2000 for an hour. Please negotiate guys!

My gem of this trip on Soi 6 was a busty ex-Tantra gogo girl I liked who only asked for 1k. She was a no brainer.
