Pattaya Gentleman's Clubs

[B]Kings Club[/B] (It is on google maps).

First trip to this place. Well gentlemen this is the first time I have ever had a bad experience. Entered the club and to my right was a room enclosed with wooden lattice with kneeling on the floor sucking the dick of a guy sitting on the couch. From the back (all I could see) she looked attractive.

A fat ugly girl came over to sit me down. Then left. The bartender who looked like Tomboy came over to take my drink. I ordered and she brought my drink. I sat there for 5 or 10 minutes. The girls were congregated at the end of the club next to the bar sitting a table on the cellular phones and talking to each other. Well damn. These girls must no be interested in money at all. After what seemed like an eternity a tall unattractive girl came over to me and asked me what I wanted. I told her I wanted what the guy over in the wooden lattice enclosed room is getting. She said: "Blowjob" I said yes. She said 1500 THB. I said is that for everything with a room upstairs. She said yes. I told her I only wanted a [I]blowjob[/I] not [I]Short Time[/I]. She seemed not too understand. At which point I was laughing to myself. So, I told her to grab someone who spoke better English and bring them over to translate. Then she said 800. I was like in the room next to us our up stairs? She gave me another shoulder shrug.

My body language was saying: "I'm out of here". Because the bartender walked up to me and said: "Are you leaving". I said: "Yes". She asked: "Why are you leaving?" I told her everything was good. I just got an important message on my phone and I have attend to it. Smiled and paid my bar bill. Rolled out.

[B]Motherfucker[/B]!

I have never been a gentleman clubs or a bar in Pattaya where I have not been approached nor just received a bad vibe from the joint (with one excepting that actually worked out quite well because of the girl not the place. But that was the deal in this place. Maybe they were just having a bad customer service day. Or all the girls were just tired of sucking dick. No girls coming up to me. Failure to communicate on a most basic level. No explanation of the prices. That was the third strike.

I cannot even tell you how the girls in the joint really looked. There about 8 as I remember and they were all wearing black dresses. I visited in the afternoon it was about 1400. I order a water (because was hot during the walk) over and it was a tiny bottle not even 500 ML. Get the fuck.

I will not write the place off. Maybe I just caught it at a bad time. Or my energy was off or both. I am not going to give my opinion of what I really thought was going on until my second visit that will give me an opportunity to have my initial impression of the place proven or disproven. I am not discouraging anyone from going. It just was not my time during that visit.

[B]Hey mother fuckers, this is how you write a report[/B]!

[I]Relax and take notes, while I take tokes of the marijuana smoke[/I] - [U]Dead Wrong[/U] [B]Notorious B.I.G[/B].

I file reports when I have dead time when I am working on project. I don't see a purpose in announcing where I plan to go and then not reporting on it afterwards. I just go and report on it afterwards. Like my latest report about the [B]Kings Club[/B]. I cannot file a report on [B]Club Fate[/B] because I have never been there. But it is on my list. So many gentleman's clubs so little time.

I have not filed a detailed report on Viper and [B]KitCat Lounge Club[/B]. I have not filed a detailed report on Viper because there was nothing to report. Was not really feeling the place. Although I can see the appeal that it would have to a certain type of Farang that finds themselves in Jomtien all the time or on occasion.

[B]KitCat Lounge Club[/B] is in my wheel house. I don't have time to file a detailed report ATM. But all my visits and experiences there have been positive.

[QUOTE=SubCmdr;2919664]Viper an Agogo in Jomtien falls into that category. They charge 1500 bar fine; 800 for short time room; 3000 short time; 5000 long time. Maybe one or two girls qualified for that price range in my book. But I have never written a description of the activity that disparaged those who make the choice to accept those prices and take those girls.

What I can tell you is that I can walk right across the street to the GC next to the Jomtien Beach Pool House called the [B]KitCat Lounge Club[/B] purchase the Champagne Room package that includes the girl of my choice for 1500 THB. Do I find the girls in [B]Viper[/B] to be twice as attractive as the girls in the [B]KitCat Lounge Club[/B] club?

I find the ambiance of the [B]KitCat Lounge Club[/B] appeals to me more. I am greeted and treated quite well by the girls and at least half of them I find attractive. The next guy might not like the place at all. They may prefer to pull a girl out of [B]Viper[/B]. But I have nothing negative to say about that or the girls in either place.[/QUOTE]It has been inferred that I am a troll and have nothing better to do. [B]My time is much more important than to spend it trolling[/B].

I come in peace to the Kingdom of Thailand and to enjoy the many things Pattaya has to offer. I share information on having sex with girls and I do not speak about a subject unless I know something about it. There are those who get me in their mind and cannot get me out it. I am used to that when it comes to girls but to see that kind of behavior in me it so unbecoming. Oh well, those who do not like my writing can always put me on ignore. That way my corse and down to earth writing will not ruffle the feathers of their personalities that are softer than a marshmallow.

[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2924711]Pro tip - If you pick up a girl from a bar like Kinnaree that closes before 6 pm, you get the girl LT from 6 pm until the next morning or even afternoon if she's just staying with you til she heads back to work at Kinnaree at 2 pm. No need to pay a barfine either since she's off work. Just pay the girl what you think is fair. I used to pay 2500 LT which is likely overpaying but for the numbers of hours I get I think it's worth it. Caveat Emptor. I haven't done this since pre COVID so I have no idea how much a current Kinnaree girl asks for LT.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the tip! You are a fountain of knowledge. You have forgotten more about Pattaya than I have learned.

I don't do long time. I just do not like spending that much time with a stranger or sleeping all night in the bed with them. Takes a special chemistry for me. I have long time girl. We share that chemistry. Have not found it with any other girl in Pattaya. I am not a fan of hotels. During the majority of my working career I spent 1 to 3 weeks on the road. I like a session in-between ST and LT. I like to refer to it as MT. 3 - 4 hours 2 shots. I have been with a girl from Kinnaree on her off time and it was a very high quality experience.

[B]Kinnaree[/B]

Below you will find a old report.

[U]The Set Up:[/U]

The first girl I ever fucked in Pattaya was there. It was my first full day in Pattaya. 1500 was the agreement for her; 300 for the room; 1100 Bar Bill.

[U]The Experience:[/U]

Ho Experience "he": Straight Fucking / No kissin; Sucked me dick was good at it. Rode, more sucking, missionary, more sucking, doggy. Told her I was going to cum, she said wait a second I'm going to cum with you. She did and her orgasmic contractions set me over the top. I went deep and flooded the zone. Yes, gentlemen. BBFSCIP with my (you know what) finishing all up in her. [B]Nothing special, just the facts.[/B].

She told me afterwards she was really horny and and I turned her on so much. We exchanged lines and she told me she wanted see me again in my room. She asked where I was staying (View Talay 6) at the time. She asked me how I was going to get back. I told her I would just take a taxi. She told me not to do that that she would call a Bolt for me. She did and told me I needed to down load the app. She waited with me until the Bolt arrived. We hugged and I was off. You always remember you first one.

[U]But that's not all[/U]

Couple of nights later she came over to my room. We talked about longer term possibilities. She wanted someone to take care of her. The offer was, she would fuck me all I wanted, I could fuck whomever I wanted, she would only see me, just pay all her bills. Very early in my visit and I was like whoa, I'll consider it.

Hit the bed and still straight fucking and sucking without kissing but more intense. We were in missionary and I was kissing on her neck. She told me I was being romantic and that it was turning her on. After some really hard pounding with my (you know what) she announced that she was coming and I felt those contractions going on my dick. She was like I got mine anytime you want baby. I did not disappoint. Flooded the zone again. Touchdown!

[U]Pillow Talk:[/U]

Things started to get a little intense as she told me she wanted a baby with my eyes and skin color. She was ready to give one to me. She asked if I cared if it was boy or girl? I told her it did not matter but I'm sure a girl will be just a beautiful as she is. She told me a boy would be just as handsome as I am. We actually kissed that that point and things started warming up again. She was like, oh you want to go a second round, I was like yes.

[U]Second Round:[/U]

She started sucking and then she started riding me like she was possessed. This went on for a while and I was very surprised because I am not a big fan of cowgirl because most girls cannot ride a dick worth a damn. But she could and she did. I announced I was going to come and she went HAM on my (you know what) blew my splooge all up in her a second time. As she climbed off dripping me out of her she said I beat you, I finished twice.

[U]Epilogue:[/U]

We she hit the shower and came back and got dressed. I got her money for her and started to hand it to her. I had 1500 in my hand and she said can I get 2000 from you sweetie. I told her of course and gave her 2100. She asked what the extra 100 was for and I told her it was for here taxi.

Her schedule and mine unfortunately have not allowed us to meet again. We keep in touch. Hopefully that will change soon.[/QUOTE]

Get your hands up! Step away from your keyboards. [B]This is a mother fucking thread jack[/B]!

[U]Windmill[/U]

I think the girls in this place are fucking hot! If you ask me what are my favorite Agogos I would tell you Windmill and Kink. Now, I'll also tell you that I go with girls [B]Beach Road[/B] and that there are guys who say they wouldn't fuck a girl on Beach Road if they could use someone else's dick and fuck for free. To each their own. So, be it. It is all good. I like raunchy.

I like them: "[I]Savage, Classy, bougie, ratchet, Sassy, moody, nasty[/I]" LOL!

The last time I was in Windmill, momason remembered me. Because I roll with a two bottle buying friend and when I with him I spend all the money I have in my pocket on lady drinks. When I run out of money or get so drunk I can't function anymore. They send me out the door with a 20 baht note so I can catch the Baht bus back to my hotel room. While they continue the party. It is hell getting old.

I buy mamason a drink and she sits me down right at the end of center stage next the two girls that are doing the lez show. [B]I just LOVE that raunchy ass shit![/B] One of the girls doing the show pushes my buttons with a tremendous amount of eye contact and attention. Next thing you know, I am sprung on the cat!

I get the attention of mamason. Get this girl a drink. Drink arrives and of course she wants me to buy her stage show partner a drink. I'm like no. Just for you. That's when they kick the stage show up entirely different level. That gets me to break out the stack of 20 TBH notes and now I am making it fucking rain. I have completely monopolized the attention of these two girls and I'm touching at will and you know the deal up in Windmill. I am getting mean mugged by the other lame as mother fuckers next to the stage at this point. But hey it's my party and they could get the same thing if they just loosen up on their wallets a bit. Maybe they are happy to watch live soft porn up close and personal instead of beating off in their rooms.

Show is over and the girl comes down and sit at the table with me to finish up her drink. She immediately apologies and tells me that momason has promised her to another client but she likes me better. She takes her time downing her drink. We share a good bye kiss. She tells me that if he does not take me she will come back. [B]Whoa, shit, fuck, oh[/B]!

Well I could consider the money wasted. Who gives a fuck? I had a tremendous experiences and all I had to give up was some worthless, paper, fiat, currency. [B]Who needs that shit[/B] So I roll out slightly irritated that the girl I find to be the hottest girl in the club is not available even at the outrageous prices agogo charge for you to take the pussy life support system out of the club so you can fuck the pussy. My understanding is that there are blow job booths inside the club, but I have never followed up on that action. So, while she is hanging out to with the customer that mamason has chosen for her.

I'm headed out the door. She makes eyes at me and winks as I pass her to leave. I have to come back and look for her. But the spell is broken now. [B]My dick waits for no pussy[/B]. I'm out the door. Making the left and headed towards Walking Street. I'm texting my favorite [B]Beach Road[/B] girl. Hey Princess, you available? "Yeah" she says. I ask: "where are you standing? She tells me palm tree 11. I tell her: "I am on my way for you, don't move".

I fall in lust every time I go into Windmill. Each and every time I get my heart broken because "those hos ain't loyal". Oh, they give you much love on stage but they will leave you for a another customer with deeper pockets in a minute. LOL! But I keep hope alive despite my failures that someday I will get inside some agogo pussy to see if it really feels different. That is what I really enjoy about Pattaya is endless options. Get upset because some Japanese guy got dibs on my chosen pussy life support system for the night before I did? Oh hell the fuck no! Not The Cmdr's style.

[U]Just an aside[/U]

I just don't know what is up with Japanese and Korean guys. I find the girls in both of those countries to be gorgeous. Way more attractive than the average Thai girls. Of course my beauty standards are different because I am not impressed by the bright white skin color "toothpaste" models on TV that everyone else around here loses their shit over. LOL! All I can figure is they are looking for cheap pussy on a relative scale based on their own countries also.

[I]I shall now wait to here the cacophony of discordant songs from the price and appearance crew to talk their shit about the choices I make with my money and my dick[/I]

[B]Subcmdr[/B]: Chief of the Boat, rig for dive; make your depth 50; Chief of the Boat: rig for dive; make my depth 50; aye Cmdr.

[QUOTE=IbnButtita;2844532]For my last two days in Pattaya I decided to go all out in exploring the Gentleman's Clubs. On a Friday morning I sought out Babylon Club on Soi Bong Koch, to find that it was the other Babylon that opened before noon. So I went a couple of minutes walk around the corner to the strip of GCs on Bong Koch 8. Some were open here in the 11:00 hour. At Purple I wasn't discerning enough and sat quickly with a slim slightly older and plain-ish lady and bought her a drink for her time and her willingness to feel me and let me feel hers, but I wanted to keep my powder dry for more appealing targets. I had the opposite problem at Amsterdam a couple of doors down, where the one available girl of the two there was rather cute, but though friendly (wiping my face with a cold towel on entry), even when I bought her a drink she acted like we were at a Sunday School picnic, resisting any hands-on exploration. It was just as well that this prudish encounter did not lead anywhere, since as we were sitting at a table the power on the whole block went out, leaving the place stifling, and any physical activity in an uncooled room on this scorcher of a day would not have been viable.[/QUOTE]The OP offers coverage of numerous Gentleman's Clubs in Pattaya over a three post series. If you you are interested in Gentleman's Clubs take a look at these posts. Feel free to add to the library of knowledge.

[QUOTE=SubCmdr;2921822][B]Kings Club[/B] (It is on google maps).

First trip to this place. Well gentlemen this is the first time I have ever had a bad experience. [/QUOTE]How have I missed this place? I walk in this area often and it's been open since at least February, 2020. Surely the word "BUFFET" in big capital letters would have caught my eye. I'll pop in when in town again.

[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2934401]How have I missed this place? I walk in this area often and it's been open since at least February, 2020.

I gave [B]Kings Club[/B] another try. Very happy I did. My principle of picking the girls that choose me worked well there.

[U]The Set Up[/U]Bought a drink; was approached; she started to kiss me and I felt up her ass; she grabbed my [B]BBD[/B] and was impressed as her kissing me was already stimulating me; I went up under here skirt to find a wet pussy without panties. She asked what I wanted. I told her wanted here to suck my dick. She was like is that all I want to boom boom you. I asked the difference in price and said lets get a room. She wanted a drink and I agreed. She ordered the VIP Room for us. Grabbed our drinks and up to the room we went.

[U]The Main Event[/U]

Kissing; she grabbed towels for us. Off to the bathroom for shower. Shower as foreplay and small talk. Back to the rooms BBBJ that was good; Standing next to the bed with her sitting on it. Then she want me lay down. Started out sucking from the side then moved into the 69 position. She was enjoying that and the sucking got a whole lot better. But I cannot focus on my pleasure in that position so she moved back into sucking on the side on her own.

[B]Time to fuck[/B]: She wanted condom; Who cares I just like to fuck. Got some missionary in. Needed a rest and told her to touch me and she took the condom off and started working me with her hand; properly stimulated I asked for another condom and she just grabbed me and put me in. Missionary legs up and legs down. Doggie Style and she had a nice ass that I was slapping and pounding. She started getting vocal. A sign she was enjoying it or or my [B]BBD[/B] penetrating her deeply and bumping her cervix. Grabbed that hair and pulled it and even pulled her arms back in that classic face down ass up position.

Back into missionary legs up; then switch to missionary straddle position. This is my goto position when it is time to come. It works well for the girls because my [B]BBD[/B] rubs the clit in such a way to give them a pleasurable situation. This girl really enjoyed this as she announced see was going to cum, then gave me physical and verbal proof. It was not simultaneous but it was sequential.

Best part is she actually wanted to lay around me and gave me some serious pillow talk about her life and pervious relationships and how she prefers "my type".

[U]Costs[/U]

Lady Drink: 150 THB; Soft drinks: 50 THB; Beer: 70 THB.

VIP Room: 450 THB; Regular room: 350 THB.

Girl: 800 THB; Oral Sex: Boom Boom: 1000 THB (don't quote me on this she might have given me a lower price because she wanted to "boom boom me" her words).

[U]Epilogue[/U]

They are open from 1300 - 0000. But I arrived early and was greeted, some girls were still getting ready doing their hair, make up and eating. I would say about half the staff is boom boomable. The atmosphere in the place is completely different from when I made my first visit. I was greeted with a coordinated chorus of ladies with a welcome message. I was approached as soon as I received my drink. The girl got me a refreshing towel and toweled me off. The girl I choose was the consummate hostess. She hung up my clothes as I took them off. She washed me while I was in the shower. She was squeaky clean. The place my shoes at my feet when I was preparing to leave the room. She then came down the stairs with me. I went back over to my table. I paid my bill and she made sure I left a tip for the bartender. I liked that. Looking out for each other. Sign of a good human being. She then escorted me out of the club and I was again given a coordinated chorus of ladies telling goodbye and inviting me to come back. I will. For me it was a most striking contrast from my first visit I really have no idea why that first visit happen. I am in that area often and I am going to make it a regular afternoon stop.

[U]Personal Commentary unrelated to my visit to Kings Club[/U]

I feel sorry for young guys. I still have access to 20 year olds because I have money. A young guy needs to develop his game so he can be a PUA. But Young men cannot make the mistake of understanding how important is is to earn, save and invest early and allow their money to compound of the years. It is a lot easier to live without money when you are young that when you are old.

I do not have not problem doing "charity work" with older girls. These girls know how to fuck and a 40 year old for me is still 20 years younger. A twenty year old is 40 years younger than I am. In my mind that is just crazy. [B]40 years![/B].

Started out at the [B]Bus bar[/B]. Ordered my favorite large drink. Sat down. And waited for anyone who had beef with me from ISG to show up and have it out with me. I was waiting for the party to begin with. Maybe I could finally get a chance to meet those who have beef with me showing up with low brow version of a Diddy white party with torches, fried chicken and watermelon for dessert.

Alas, no one show up. So I set out to get my [B]Big Black Dick[/B] sucked. Headed to one of my favorite clubs and got way laid by a pair of Thai girls offering me a threesome. I'm like: [B]WTF?![/B]. They were very enthusiastic and out going. Playfully grabbing my [B]BBD[/B] hugging and kissing me. [U]None of the [i]dink, dink, dink[/i], Nightass group Soi 6 bullshit[/U]!. Just a straight offer of a threesome.

I didn't even know the place had rooms. But they did. It was a payment to each girl and for the room. So, they led me inside and I paid the bartender. Upstairs to the the room were we had this great shower together all three of us. It was great foreplay.

[B]The Main Event[/B]

It was a outstanding experience. These two had worked together before and were both on me the entire time like a coordinated ballet of sexual pleasure. 100 percent focused on what I wanted and my pleasure.

[B]I WILL fucking repeat with these two![/B]

Not being ready to call it night I kept walking. Cute girl in a massage place caught my eye. Approached her for a oil massage. It was an outstanding massage with a top quality happy ending. Hopped on the Baht Bus and rode home.

It is the spontaneity of Pattaya that I enjoy so much. Not trying to force the square peg into the round hole. I just go with energy flow and enjoy the results. I got naked with three different girls (two at one time in one case). Busted two nuts. And didn't even buy one mother fucking LD. Made me feel like I was:

[B]Ballin like a mother fucking pro! LOL![/B]

But it is not that mother fucking Bangkok. [B]It is Pattaya[/B]. That means I was: Ballin on a budget baby!

[I]All my life been po' but it really don't matter no mo; And they wonder why we act this way, Subcmdr gon' be okay[/I] - Po' Folks, [B]Nappy Roots[/B].

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2953214]SubCmdr, as someone who frequents WS Go Go's (a lot) & G Clubs, my opinion is that they are not mutually exclusive. I see the merits in both venues. So let me just state the obvious: it is very rare to find that 10% creme de la creme quality Pin Up girl in a Pattaya G Club. It can happen, but the sightings are rare. Thus, the bottom line for me is I like going to G Clubs for a bit of afternoon entertainment. It is fun and I usually find some very, very friendly girls to hang out with in the various G Clubs, but at night when I am looking for top quality girls, Pin Up and a few other high-end Go Go's are where I go. And like I said maybe only 10% to 15% of say Pin Up girls actually qualify in my humble estimation as real lookers and yes post-covid Go Go prices are insane what with various lady drink minimums and bifurcated timeline barfines which I do not like. But I don't care. When I am in Pattaya I want what I want when I want it. It analogous to deciding to go out for dinner to a top quality steak house or a top quality sushi restaurant or not. Is the fine dining worth the premium price? The answer is it is up to the individual customer. To me, the answer is yes, it is worth it because I like slender, young, pretty girls. I appreciate dry aged beef and I like creative cuts of top quality raw fish. You should check out Pin Up just to see if I am blowing smoke or I am saying something real. Up to you. [b]Either way, Rock on[/b]!

A. H.[/QUOTE]Axel Heyst, No thanks. I tag along with my friends to Walking Street or occasionally step into [B]808[/B] on my own. I prefer gentleman's clubs. Period. Full Stop!

[U]Pin Up[/U]:

I don't question your evaluation of talent there. I won't deny that you prefer girls that are basically [I]knock kneed bimbos walking like hos[/I]. It is a preference that that I find prevalent in a certain type of Farang. [B]Your time, your money, your dick, your call![/B].

[U]What I like[/U]

I like [B]Windmill, Kink, Lips Lounge[/B] but even in my favorites I have never bar fined a girl out of one. I don't like the logistics involved in a bar fine. Waiting for the girl to change. Looking regular instead of exotic one she is ready to go. Traveling to the room. Nah! [B]Fuck all dat[/B]! I like feeling the moment and fucking on premise. I identify with wanting what you want. What I want is to fuck right there while my dick is hard and my pussy is wet. I am also uninterested in taking these prostitutes back to the room where I live. Something most visitors do not give a fuck about. Every time I enter a Gentleman's Club I get my dick sucked or fuck. So, not only do we disagree on the attractiveness of the girls in Agogos and Gentleman's clubs. We have very different preferences when it comes to the logistics of fucking. When I go out I have no reason whatsoever to [I]maximize[/I] my time because a wheels up clock is ticking.

One of the things that always surprise me is that when comparisons are made people think everyone is the same. I don't see girls through your eyes nor fuck with your dick. Therefore each [B]International Trick[/B] is bound to have different desires and preferences. I am happy you are able to satisfy yours.

[B]Your time, your money, your dick, your call![/B]

Anyone been to the new club opposite Play Girlz. Cat House?

[QUOTE=EverythingThai;2955598]Anyone been to the new club opposite Play Girlz. Cat House?[/QUOTE]Yep. One visit. During a 3 weeks trip. All very clean / new / red and black. Lots of mirrors.

Stuck my head in there with some buddies. We were on our way to [B]Club Fate[/B] so we didn't stay long. Did not even order anything. But the girls had a great attitudes and there were several that I would be willing to fuck (or at least have them suck my dick). The club set up itself is great.

Like the greatest former governor of California once famously said: [B]I'll be back[/B]!

I went to Hunny Lounge on Soi Honey today. I was informed it was operating in "locked" mode, since the ladies were naked.

I wasn't there for playing with naked ladies, so I just bought a drink. And then another drink. And then a very friendly lady showed up. I bought her a drink, and we were off to the races.
