[QUOTE=Chris Long; 1427211]Is there a gym in Pattaya (stupid question, of course there is) preferably one in the LK Metro area, if so what are the rates.
Thanks,
Chris[/QUOTE]The best gym in town is attached to the Marriott hotel. It is actually a private high end gyma, but if you stay at the hotel it is free.
Also, I was told that they have a daily fee. I don't know what it is but I know for sure it is much better than Tony's.
[QUOTE=David 2;1427725]I'd love to find a modern gym in the area with good equipment and good air conditioning?

Aya Boutique also has a good one.

[QUOTE=David 2; 1427725]The closest gym to LK Metro is Tony's on Soi Buakhow. About 1 block south of LK on the west side of the street. But be forewarned. It's NOT air conditioned. Only about 80 or 90 THB to use it. But it's HOT. Tony's also has a few other gyms around town, but I always find them to be disappointing. Broken down old equipment, dirty inside, and even the ones that are air conditioned are unreasonably hot inside, presumably to keep his electricity bills low. I'd love to find a modern gym in the area with good equipment and good air conditioning? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
[url]http://tonydisco.com/fitness/welcome.html[/url][/QUOTE]The best time to use that gym is early morning but even then its still dirty. Take some sani-wipes and a towel with you. They turn the machines and fans off as soon as you are done with them. That seem to be the main function of the attendant other than checking IDs, they charge 1790B per month. There are several smaller gyms around town, one on Soi Buakhow to the north of LK but it is a small open air type gym so you can inhale the motorist fumes as they pass by similar to the other one Tony has on 3d Road / Pattaya Tai. There's another small gym by Big C in South Pattaya with very limited equipment, they charge 400b per month and have AC but rarely turn it on.
Hi,
May I request to suggest good GF friendly hotel / resort near beach area where they don't keep checking ids. Last year stayed in Seame Spring in Soi 10. Not sure if there is any better alternatives and better location.
Planning to visit in June 3rd week.
Also if any new bars to try out, it would be great. My fav has been XZone.
Thanks

You walk through Club Abyzz and there is a fitness club behind it and above it. They do have quite a few machines, and it is air conditioned, but like his other clubs the machines are in various states of disrepair, and they keep the temperature just one degree above boiling. It's a much better option than the one on Soi Buakhow, though, and I use it 3 times a week when I'm in LOS. I can't remember the exact price, (I think it's about 150 THB per single use) but it's on the website. I love hot weather: I live in the middle of the Mojave desert not too far from Death Valley, the hottest place on the planet, but nothing compares to the temperature at Tony's.

Thanks[/QUOTE]I'm curious why you don't want the hotel to check the I. D. Cards of the girls you bring back I know it is an inconvenience, but I actually like it. Specifically, I like it when the front desk calls to ask if it is okay to return it to the girl.

I woke up at 430 am and decided to go down to Beach Road. There were plenty still out. Girl wanted 500. I told her 400 because I have to pay for the room. We got on my bike and went to the st hotel I use on 2nd Road. BBBJ COP. Stayed about an hour then I took her to her room on Soi Buakhow. Breakfast on Soi Diana at Robin's Nest before I go home and get ready to go to the gym.

But if they charge a fee, then maybe the keep it as proof. Then again, for LT, they may be required to have it on file. When I check in with my wife, they ask for both of our passports, not just mine.
I've been in hotels where they collected the I. D. And have shook my head "no" to the guy at the desk as he was pulling out the joiner registration book. He understood that I didn't want her to show her I. D. And I just continued to the elevator.
Leaving for Thailand Sunday morning, will be in Bangkok Monday night, staying in Nana until Friday the 7th then heading to Pattaya, will be staying on LK Metro until the 20th. If any one else is going to be in country at that time send me a PM and we can chase some Thai pussy together.

imo it is a system which benefits all. i am not a ****, and do not want to see the inside of a thai jail.

if they didn't ask for and check their i. d., i wouldn't stay there. i'm not sure if an apartment or condo rental has someone around to check their i. d., as i have not rented one yet in thailand, but if i do rent one and they don't have any one available to check, i would be sure there was no doubt about the lady's age or i would pass on her.

Do you have someone checking IDs at your house, apartment, or condo? Take some personal responsibility and don't rely on others to do what you can easily do yourself.
