Pattaya Reports

**NRandom940** · 05-28-25 18:44

After spending a few days in Pattaya last week, I have come to the conclusion that I much prefer Bangkok.

In Pattaya, the go-go's are way overpriced. I mentioned that I planned to go back there to get one of the hottest girls for $240 usd. I decided against it after having cheaper fun on Soi 6 for $80 usd. The average go-go girl may be hotter, but not 3 x hotter.

I didn't use TF at all even though I did in past visits to Pattaya. I prefer being able to see in person before agreeing to meet, so there's no need.

Plus the most important reason is that Pattaya is just so boring during the day. I would purposely stay up late so that I slept until 3 pm when the bars started opening. There is literally nothing to do during the day in my opinion.

From now on, Bangkok will be my base when I visit Thailand. I may take a trip down to Pattaya for a day or two to mix things up, but I much prefer Bangkok.

Hotel seems amazing. Also has a clear unobstructed view of the sea. Which hotel is it?

Hi. Hearing about rising covid cases in Thailand. Would this be a good time to visit Thailand? Am planning to visit Pattaya for mongering, 2 weeks from now. Please advise.

Dear experienced bar mongers, kindly elaborate what went wrong here? I am still wondering?

Wondering about complete senseless attitude of Thai bar staff is like wondering why rain is wet.

Never ever think just one second about it. Do exactly what you did, pay and go.

Along Walking Street you will not be able to take two steps before being offered to be escorted to one. I've never been. Not my thing. But my crew has!

I see people on Walking Street showing ads for a ping pong show. Never gone to one.

It would make sense that hookers get removed from the beach side of Beach Road because it is the most beautiful part of town for a night time couples or family stroll. By my same philosophy, the freelancers would remain un-hassled in all other parts of Pattaya. Totally removing the hookers from Pattaya would destroy the local hospitality industry (hotels, restaurants, markets, malls, tourist shops, taxi / Grab / baht bus, etc) and have a major effect on thousands of poor families throughout Issan. I cannot imagine that Pattaya government would be foolish enough to do something like that (that level of stupidity is reserved for the Americans).

What's the point of these so called raids, kinda weird. I know for me, when I think of Pattaya, just one thing springs to mind. And it'd be the only reason for me to go there.

Props to the hosts of that video for being a bit more detail-oriented than other media reports about the recent Beach Road sweep only sweeping up the female and ladyboy prostitutes in order to reduce the "open and shameful" solicitation of prostitution, which is the only prostitution-related crime the police can enforce in this case. Or perhaps there was an improper visa issue or two among those 50 arrests or sweeps. And that none of their potential customers observed in the "open and shameful" act of soliciting prostitution were arrested, rounded up, charged with or fined for anything at all.

That is an important detail for punters reading this website to know and to clearly understand the reasons for it.

However, boo to them for blithely repeating the popular misunderstanding that prostitution is "illegal" in Thailand. It is not.

And that is why prostitutes plying their trade in the quieter side sois and less open to the public areas than heavy tourist traffic Beach Road and only on the beach side of it at that were not arrested, rounded up and fined for anything, something the hosts wonder about but naturally have no explanation for as long as they are laboring under the misunderstanding that the basic act of prostitution is "illegal" in Thailand.

The simple reason for which is that if prostitution is solicited, negotiated for and engaged in discretely between or among consenting adults there is no Thai crime for which the police can observe, approach, sting, arrest or fine anyone.

Who's actually going to this joint?

I only skipped through the video but at 24:58 there is a line up of about 15 girls and I would say 2-3 of them look attractive in those particular shots.

I went to the Maggie Mays Resort before their formal opening, and reported here.

Bottom line: the Pattaya police can arrest prostitutes under whatever charge they want. The result is the same.

No it isn't the same. An arrest or conviction for disturbing the peace / causing a public nuisance, which is a crime cited in the Thai Penal Code, is not the same as an arrest or conviction for prostitution, which is not a crime cited in the Thai Penal Code. For one thing, someone CAN be convicted of the former but not for the latter in Thailand unless they change the law.
