[QUOTE=Bionicman; 1153674]No flaming but if one is in need of saving two times 700 baht because if tight budget I would question the whole trip.
Something is commuting more than one time every week and something is a return trip to Pattaya on a vacation trip.
Or saving 1000baht a night in a hotel.
I don't mean to waste the money, but I don't think 1200x2 taxi money is a killer fir individual transportation!
Anyhow just my opinion and each one his own[/QUOTE]There are 2 types of expenditure in Pattaya: girls and everything else. For the latter it is a time / convenience vs cost equation. So I always get a taxi to Pattaya because it is fast and comfortable. For a hotel I aim to spend no more than 1500 Bht per night, but for a good room. Any more is just a waste of money for me, any less then the room may be too squalid. Food I buy on the street or in cheap restaurants because that's what I like. I look for the happy hour deals or the cheap drink offers because that works for me.
With the girls I have a different set of rules, but happy to spend whatever is required for the experience. So one night with a DD girl, followed by one night with a FL, followed by Soi 6 girl, etc. I don't normally pay top dollar for the gogo girls because in my limited experience it hasn't been worth it.

Some of the Walking Street and more 'first time tourist' oriented go-go's (Iron, Airport, etc) are asking 1000 for barfine. Some of the girls there are asking 2000/3000 ST / LT and higher, especially during high season.
Lately the Mamasans have been trying to negotiate the price for the girls and it is 'pay upfront'. I guess some punters are doing that, because the practice hasn't stopped over the last 4-5 months.
Show the girls a good time and bargain well and 1000/2000 is achievable, from even the best sorts.
It is nice to see Mouse 1s report as it reflects my sentiments exactly, I always stay at the LK renaissance but their prices have gone over 1500 so I am now looking round for a good alternative.
May the force be with you.

Do not bother with these. Barfines are always inflated to around 1000 baht and the girls are asking for "silly money" as one retired expat once told me. Girls at these bars are mostly there to dance and drink. Many do not want to be barfined at all. If you want to have sex with a go-go girl, there is plenty of talent in Heaven Above, Living Dolls, Baby Dolls, etc. I have negotiated to 1000 for ST and 1500 LT in the past at these.
And never the girl's fee upfront. This isn't Germany or Amsterdam. In Bangkok some mamasans will present the punter with a laminated sign with ST and LT prices on it. Duly ignored.
Check my former posts about the "inside garden resort", has excellent bungalows, pool, super friendly staff in convenient location and zero fellow punter presence LOL. 800 a night.

Just a few unusual observations from a few hours in Pattaya GoGos last night.
While I was at Windmill, all the lights came on and the place filled with Police. The girls said there was problems with liquor licensing and also girls who were under 20. They said that only girls over 20 were allowed to 'entertain' – dunno on that. Anyhow off goes the owner and his hot blonde Thai wife for a long discussion upstairs with the police. Police still there when I left at about 1130.
Passed by Beach Club and was talking to a couple of girls when the place goes into an uproar with the arrival of a big party of Japanese men and women. The girls were quickly to desert me and then a extraordinary deluge of ping pong and other plastic balls started – not the little buckets that you usually see but many large trash cans full of balls. The girls said he spent 50K baht the night before on balls and drinks etc. The girls were using the front of my shirt and anywhere they could to stuff balls that they had caught – many were showing cuts and bruises on their knees (maybe from something other than fighting for ping pong balls!) and one of the girls I was talking to got balls worth 2000 baht. That gives you and idea of what it was like. Can't compete with that!
[QUOTE=Rebel79;1153335]I have RTFF and see that you can catch a taxi from Bangkok to Pattaya for around 1, 000 baht, but does anyone have suggestions exactly where to catch taxis in Bangkok near Suk and in Pattaya that will make the drive for you.[/QUOTE]As mentioned Mr. T is reliable but a bit tad slow in responding by email some times. I have used him for the past few years.
Sukhumvit / Soi 19 to Pattaya (View Talay 6, 2nd road) is 1000 and same back to BKK.
To and from Don Muang is 1200bt.

Guys please have discretion when out hunting. I was in the disco last night with my girlfriend (non-pro) and a guy came right up to her while we were together and asked her to go with him. She told him that she was not doing business and he left. She apologized profusely to me, but I told her that it was not her fault. I understand we are in Pattaya but have some fucking respect.
Also the disco has traditionally stayed open until at least 5am but closed at 3:45 last night. My girl says it's due to political reasons and the powers that be flexing their muscle before elections.

[/QUOTE]Was the disco on walking street? If so, then she is fair game for anyone. Sorry, but this is Pattaya. If you don't like the cutthroat tactics than best to take your "non-pro" to a regular thai disco.

Very true the country offers (p4p and freebie) sex opportunities more than other, but indeed how can some think it is all granted by the flip of the fingers?

[url]http://www.thaiways.org/insidegardenresort/rooms.html[/url][/QUOTE]Forget the published price. Walk-in, smile and mention 800 "as a friend told you". The most useful employee is a small-framed guy (the only guy) at the reception.
