Hatyai Reports

[Trevor2522]

How was the scene in Hat Yai or Dannok? Any good experiences there?

Dannok lies immediately after passing the Thai border post. Fees are higher due to the convenience. The village only grew up over the past 35 years.

Hat Yai is longer-established, both for family shopping and single males. The local tuk-tuk (communal taxi) drivers will take punters around suburban houses with stocks of girls. Quieter / cheaper on Mondays-Thursdays, while Malaysians are at home. Best lookers: US$62-93 (฿2-3k) per day, on a 24-hour basis, but flexible according to quality and demand. Malaysians prefer childless, 18-23, with light skin, so typically from northern Thailand, but also Laos, Myanmar and China. Customers tend to 'book' one girl for their long weekends.

Taxi drivers will earn a commission -- which you would pay for -- if you take out immediately, so get name cards and return later, by Grab for example. Don't expect much English to be spoken. Some knowledge of Thai is very useful. The ladies expect to be taken out to local eateries and entertainment venues but that's normal and not too costly.

I like the scene because everything is clearly defined in terms of duration and price. It is rare to see Westerners and the average backpacker only perceives Asian couples, so is unaware it even exists.

An interesting phenomenon, when entering Thailand at Dannok from Malaysia (Bukit Kayu Hityam) is the 'Disappearing Kings' trick. With land-border runs being officially limited to one or two per year, at the immigration officer's discretion, one can 'store' a couple of thousand THB (USD 62) within passport pages to over-ride any potential blockages. Everyone knows this goes on, far from headquarters in Bangkok, but it can deliver potentially-unlimited, 60-day entries. Dannok is 45-minutes from Hat Yai by road.

In the highly-unlikely event of encountering a snotty official, that's where you keep your money for safety. Accept the entry-denied stamp and return to Malaysia (automatic 3-months for Westerners) for another try -- or apply for a tourist visa in Penang or KL. The multiple-entry version gets you up to 4 x 60-day entries in succession for US $200. So, $324 and 6 border runs effectively buys an economical year's stay, compared to other complex and expensive visa options.

And I expect there are still good, 24-hour-wife booking (buyout) places. Some may have migrated to the Malaysian border town of Dannok. In 1987, a hottie from Hatyai -- usually a central, northern or north-easterner -- cost B700, which would be well into the thousands now: paid in advance.

Still fair value, as they face punishment if they run off early (never happened to me; I usually got bored first and returned them, politely, the next morning). The Malaysian / Singaporean punters tended to book one girl for their long weekend or week in town.

Hat Yai has a scene, geared mostly towards the locals (it's a big regional center) and Malaysians.

Mandarin "hotel": 500 baht per pop, straight up brothel, open 24 h from what I can see, with distinct day / night shifts. At night they sit in front, during the day, you need to enter and walk around. Some workers from the north who might not be Thai, a motley mix occasionally, but cheap enough that usually low quality service won't be bothersome. Orange building on the corner of Nipatuthit 1 and Prachathipat roads.

Thank you. Excellent information. I went twice to Mandarin at around 7 am. Shift change is around 10 am, but some rooms are closed by 8.

Mandarin is a Pump and dump scene. There are several rooms on the first floor, with a staffed desk (2 men) at the top the stairs. Walk the corridor. Rooms with open doors and waiting girl are available for business. Go into room, and check details. I then paid the girl (500 baht), whereupon she left me to clean up (no accompanied shower). She returned and started with a perfunctory HJ and covered BJ. Onto sex. Sessions last about 15 mins.

First girl was older. I saw her outside and she took me upstairs. Somewhat impatient and rushed towards the end. Second girl was playing with her phone but the body was sweet and she was willing. Neither were very active (could be that it was rather early in the day and towards the end of the night shift). Both sessions good value for the price, for quick relief.

[HolaaaaHiiii]

Awesome Report first up man!.

I wanted to ask if you have tried all these by yourself BTW?

And do these 500 baht brothels have a room included in the price or do I have to get them into my own room / pay like 300 in Bangkok for ST Room.

Also are they friendly to foreigners. I for example am brown and idk if I will face racism (never happens in BKK and Pattaya).

Kim Hua "hotel": 400-500 baht per pop, mostly daytime, closes around 9-10 pm. More steady Thai workers, slightly better service than Mandarin, but not "good" by Pattaya standards. On Nipatuthit 3 road, close to the T intersection with Chee Uthit road, has an English sign.

Lao houses on Nipatuthit 1 road Soi 2 and 3 (which connect in a you circle). About 6-7 houses with Lao girls, 1000/ pop. Not great service, not particularly friendly, but some great lookers for that price. These get going at night, around 8 pm, there's not much to indicate they exist in the daytime.

There are also streetwalkers on Nipatuthit 2 and side streets, 500 baht.

Chinnawate road takeout places are nearly dead and ask ridiculous prices (2000-3000 baht for a tiny selection of decidedly unappealing women).

Was just passing through several months ago, didn't have a ton of time to snoop around. Haven't found anything else of use. If you do know, please share.

Another upside of this city was the choice of good hotels at reasonable prices. The hotel I stayed in was one of the best hotel deals I ever had in Thailand.
.

Which hotel did you stay in?

Thanks.

[TConor]

Any updates on Hatyai?

Where can I find young girls without previous pregnancies?

Especially downtown, Thanks.

The 30 minute (two showers included) brothel standard intended for locals.

Nothing guaranteed except a fuck. A blowjob is common, some insist on covered, some don't. The only purpose of a BJ in these places is to make you hard quickly for the main event, it's not meant to be savored. DATY uncommon but possible, DFK very rare. Good percentage of starfishes. They get 10 customers per day and you aren't special. That said, some are decent, and at 500-1000 baht a pop, it's easy to afford a miss or two for each hit. One good part is that there are almost no upsells or bargaining. The price is fixed, paid upfront. You can choose to pay a tip (100-200 baht) to those few who deserve it.

Even bad service in Thailand is still miles ahead from ok service in Malaysia or China, so there's that.

Is BBFS available from these brothel girls?? Perhaps for a tip??

[Crocodilexp]

Please define 'not great service'. No blowjob? No DATY? Star fish behavior?

What a great report! Thanks for taking the time to write it.

[Crocodilexp]

I was thinking of giving Hat Yai a try next year as an escape venue from Pattaya's oppressive peak season.

Getting around might be a problem. A hotel near a major shopping mall will have to be found.

Nah, I think Hatyai is a cool town. Maybe my favorite provincial Thai city. It's just set up for Asians, not Westerners. If you want everything on a platter, sure, go elsewhere. But if you've got the time to explore the bars and clubs and MPs and booking joints then Hatyai will reward you. In fact my best experiences have been in Asian-oriented places like Hatyai, and Batam and Quezon City etc. , not in sex tourist hypermarkets like Pattaya. But maybe that's just me.

(And just as well they put Pink Lady out of its misery. By the end they had exactly four ladies, all of whom had 20+ years working in soapies. They knew their jobs but, uh, no thanks.).

I found Hat Yai to be a cool town. There are worthy MPs opposite Lee Garden Night Market and other ones scattered throughout the city. Overall the vibe is laidback. There is a hypermarket less than an hour away called Danok, but I thought the scene was pretty run down there. It's definitely active thought. It caters to Chinese and Malaysians from what I can tell.
