Pattaya Reports

Amazing Thailand, to each his own but complaining about having to pay 50 baht. I looking forward to reading your experience here.

LOL, coffee drinker? Instant?

I went to PP Body Massage around 4 pm yesterday. I passed 4 asian guys who were leaving as I was going in and I was the only customer when I got inside. There were about 12 women in the fishbowl, all aged late 20's+ and thick in the beam. Don't get me wrong, most were well made up and attractive but they were a bit older and thicker than I would usually want. There are 3 colours and I chose a blue at 2700 Bht.

The room was big and very good. Usual layout of big bath, wet area for soapy mattress and a big bed. Started with a light massage on the bed as the bath was filling then on to bath, soapy body slide on inflatable mattress, shower then on to bed for CBJ (no convincing her on BBBJ) and boom boom.

Overall the lady was good fun, spoke some English and tried her best to give a good service. On the way out there were less women in the fishbowl and none were any improvement on when I arrived. There looked to be one customer though he was looking at his phone, not the fishbowl.

Would I repeat at PP. No; ladies too old and big and CBJ.

When I went from BKK Ekkamai to Pat last time ended up at North Bus Station…………….
FA.[/QUOTE]Plenty of door to door options at not unreasonable prices in a car to yourself (e. G. Angie Taxi 1200 Bht from BKK, 1500 Bht from downtown) and a lot faster than the bus. I don't know where you are coming from but I bet it has cost you a fair bit to get here and is the money saved getting the bus to Pattaya worth it considering what you are probably going to blow your money on when you get there?

[QUOTE=FortyDrinks;2882879]50 Baht is Fair. Moto guys won't go to Central for 50.[/QUOTE]Yes moto guys were willing to go for 60 not so long back, last times I came it was more like 80.

They save us the waiting time when the baht bus is not filled yet.

LOL, coffee drinker? Instant?[/QUOTE]Really?

I understand that life is tough and there is not much fun so use the Board to belittle people. Maybe a quick look at one's profile and posting history before declaring people stingy and not knowledgeable?

There is a standard price and there is availability. If you know the price you can choose to accept it or not. Purpose of this Board is exchanging information. Well it should be and it used to be. When I arrived last time it seemed there was no bath bus but with another farang managed to get a baht bus on the street (20 baht to Beach Road). On the way back I could not find a single baht bus in about 90 minutes and no other transportation so I walked. Trying to avoid this as it was not pleasant hence the question. There should be a baht bus route on the north street but I did not spot any. That is why I asked after doing some research and could not find the answer. I could go to Jomtiem and take a bus back to Beach Road but then I need to get out to the airport.

Not sure why any of this is inappropriate questioning. And I only drink handcrafted espresso and cappuccino, preferably from my own manual machine, beans from a private roaster. Not sure why that matters though. A reliable private car service might also work but I stay close to Ekkamai so not that big of a time saver doing that. If anyone has a good driver feel free to pm me.

And yes I will report, I always do. Just check my profile.

FA.[/QUOTE]It seems that there is no baht bus to go from the roundabout to north Pattaya station anymore, at least I didn't see any during my last three visits.

Personally I don't bother anymore with the baht bus when I want to go back to the bus station. I take the moto taxi, usually from Buakhao and it costs around 80 every time.

I seriously don't understand why someone would take a BUS from BKK to Pattaya?

There is a taxi for around 1200. So you save maybe 1100 THB? (30 euro).

Taxi is faster, drops you off at the hotel. Or picks you up there and drops you at the airport whatever.

Why on earth would someone try to save 1100 THB? You probably piss away too much cash during your holiday anyway?

Parking my car at the airport in my home country is 6 K (THB). THAT feels like a waste of money.

If the bus is ready to leave then the bus takes about the same time as a taxi. Add maybe 10 more minutes to get from the bus station to where you are staying. 1000 baht is what I pay chicks for all night. 1100 baht is 1/4 of my rent. Why wouldn't I try to save it if I am saving virtually no time or there is not something pressing I need to do when I arrive?

FA.[/QUOTE]I could use some choice words after reading your ridicules post as to why you did what you did and said.

You original post " 50 baht tsxi mafia ".

I have no problem taking the bus, I do it all the time from North Pattaya to BKk, I park my bike for 40 baht for the day been taking the bus for close to 20 years get to udom Suk, hop off walk up take the BTS instead of sitting in traffic. The best part being a people watch you meet interesting people.

In spite of your ignorance you seem to have done some research but can't seem to distinguish that from common sense what I consider a time and place for everything.

You get off the bus then refuse the ride cause it is 50 baht it is being charged by the so call Taxi Mafia! Seeming knowing there isn't an alternative but to walk at the same time knowing it is hot and too far.

I remember a time when I was in BKK 80's, before the BTS and there were mainly Tuk Tuk, I was around the US Embassy area needed to get back to Nana, Tuk Tuk stop quoted me 90 baht I said no, so ended up walking by the time I got back I was soaked and tired after I took shower I said to myself " you stupid MF.

Years ago I had a good friend move to Pattaya on the darkside helping to get him to settle in across from his resort was a market needed to buy a thai broom cost in general 40 baht he decline started to walk I said where you going said down the soi in hot sun cause he felt he could get one for 35 baht. I pull out 40 baht and purchased It for him and said weclome to Thailand.

It really isn't so much being cheap it comes down to human nature that we all have a moment of Stupid in your case don't let it consume you.

The coffee thing you original remarks comrs across as cheap you responded to me but there are a number of responsives that think the same. Jokingly that you drink coffee but to save here will drink instant. In fact your remark as to how you drink your coffee and prepare confirms my impression of the person you are and what I said Yet you refuse the ride for a mere 50 baht!

So worse case scenario, they make him get off and switch 10 baht buses at Terminal 21 and he has to pay 20 baht. So he saves "30 baht" by not having to pay the taxi mafia 50 that from the bus station. 30 baht is more than enough for a off the cart watermelon on a hot day, so let's give him a break. As for the other guy who said who said we should take taxis and who cares about savings 1100 baht, that is full blown sex plus taxi or tip or food for 3 days. That there is nonsense. Those who are long stay in Pattaya have nothing but time to relax and take it easy. So if the bus takes 30 minutes longer, oh well. If we have to wait for a girl to get off work from dancing and save 3000 baht, oh well. All we have is the, no rush.

[QUOTE=ElMexicant;2882899]Are you really complaining about an additional 50 baht from the bus station? Those trucks drop people off anywhere on BR or 2nd Rd, but they have to fill up with customers first. Usually takes 15-20 minutes depending on how many people from the buses take them ...[/QUOTE]That's the bad part. They wait till they fill up to pile people against one another like sardines, with luggage up to the roof and below your feet. If only they would be 10% less greedy and take one passenger less. They only stop short of shoving passengers onto the roof. And yes, there is a taxi mafia. I once called a Bolt near the bus station, he called me back asking me to walk some distance from the bus station, implying he couldn't possibly stop too near the station. This was a hassle for me because I was carrying a suitcase.

Ah. I see my old friend Pop in that picture set. Bottom. Second from the right. Sweet lady. Met her pre covid in Billboard in Bangkok. Where is she working in Pattaya? She often finds boyfriends and long term support. But it looks her most recent boyfriend and her broke up somewhat recently and she is back working.

In fact one of my better experience has been riding the bus between Ekaimai and Pattaya North, years ago I was riding back and forth to BKk to play in a Basketball league aftet each game I rush to the station to catch the lsdt bus, one time assigned next to a Flipino girl working in Pattaya went to see her parents in BKk, talking later she fell aleep and her head tip on to my right shoulder if it was a guy smack LOL, when she woke up near the station she was concern about getting a taxi etc to her apartment it ended up I had to go by her place to get home. I made the offer and told her think about it and let me know at the station she took the offer. We ended up exchanging no. Thought nothing of it since I was older she called a week later said thanks ask me what I was doing we became friends went to eat a number of time. Never gave it a second though that aftet a edhile I would be hitting it.

With the 50 baht I wasnt saying he was cheap but in fact s time asnd place to put or stand your position I gave him two example of such I felt when someone or place they got your balls you suck it up and pay your dues. I stated this a number of times it had been talk and stated also by other.

You got to have pussy for example she throws out 1500, your research it should be 1200, it is 2: am bedtime LOL, you have walked Kilo miss all night out nowhere. Just do it in my opinion been in situatlon in the past and in the future.

Give him a break! See out of a number of responsed he got including mines very similar he decide to check profiled daw and thought I was the easier target because I don't post normally like the rest so and accused me of being on the board just to belittle othersMaybe.

If he can't pay the 50 baht yet spend time in buying great equipment and top quality beans to make his coffee but pasd up at 50 baht ride cause he felt it should be cheaper he was being taken by the mafia LOL.

Maybe next time he comes give me a advance notice I rent him one of the folding bikes I store for people or one of the electic scooters. LOL.

He brags he is going to write reports because he always does but you will see he will spend but for whatever reason he has them passed up a ride becasuse he was bein over charge 30-40 Baht.

I think the break that is needed he suck it up and take whatever remarks come.

Now I always use the service of the people staying in the bus station.

Nowadays there is very few baht bus on that road, most probably because they changed the signage of the road. The baht bus cannot go straight from the bus station to the roundabout using north pattaya road and they cannot make the you-turn on Sukhumvit road too, they've got to use small sois from the back of the bus station which means they can get very few customers when they go that side of Pattaya.
