Notes from Patts & Stay in Jomtein?
Had three days in Patts mid June, misplaced the report but it turned up so posting now. This maybe my 6th or 7th trip but first report (in the main as my nights involve usually good amounts of drink so recollection very hazy next day for FR purposes.). Stayed at Baraquda McGalley, 2nd Rd. Widely tipped up in Hotel Section. Would concur with that. Good place to stay in all quarters. Previously always stayed across the street at what was Marriott Resort and Spa. This place not quite up to that but close enough and would stay again.
I don't have whole lot to say that might be of interest but here goes. This is the first time ever ventured to Red Car and very impressed. Hit it twice both times with company. But excellent sprinkling of fine talent. Place has good vibe, good music for the ages, service, prices. Etc all reasonable enough. Place was also rocking just north of midnight. One night after Red Car went to IBar. Again this was a first for me. This was sort of 2-4 am window. Took a table right in the bowels of the place and was rammed with ladies. Good all round quality. Bar girls, students, MILF and girl next door types. Seemed to be very few guys about. Perhaps I hit the place on some sort of local holiday week or something, have no idea or perhaps this is absolutely the norm but was almost overwhelmed by how many ladies all groups of 2-4 at tables seemingly waiting for something (I wonder what). So both these places are now firmly on any agenda I will have for future Patt's trips. Previously they were not. Also, will add I am just north of the big five oh (albeit trim and smart but casual attire.), European and did not feel uncomfortable or square peg in round hole at all.
Hit only go-go's at LK Metro where I felt quality and numbers were marginally down on anything can ever recall. Only ones I could give shout out to would be Destiny, Show Girls and the one on the road heading down to LKM. Right side just before bar complex called Paya or Apaya maybe? Also noticed I think for the first time in several go-go's ladies pretty much partying with their own little group, barely taking notice of customers. Drinking quite heavily and seemingly having a great time with themselves. Also noted in several bars (Show Girls, Mandarin upstairs in Bangkok and another LK Metro place that can't recall) really, really wired up girl (s). I don't mean just a fun chick who is a bit of a bar jester but girls really bouncing off the walls almost. These girls were ultra skinny in all cases. So observing this and the little gaggles of girls partying on their own was not something I recall before so much. Something and nothing maybe!
My penchant is early thirty something girls. Have to be slim and reasonably cute but don't need to be red hot. Most important is a bit of spark! Interesting, funny and spirited. This trip found three such ladies in three days. So there is still plenty of fruit still in Patts. These type of ladies tend to wind up as hawkers outside bars in and around LK Metro, 2nd Road. My MO is always to buy a few quick drinks so there quota keeps healthy then head off with them some place to dance (like Red Car) or hit another bar with karaoke. Lots of these ladies like to sing so often paid up a few hundred Bhat for them to take a turn with the mic. All the time the lady is drinking (a real drink) a little also and feeling somewhat like she is on a date. For sure this adds maybe 1,000 2,000 Bhat to the evening expenses but IME this is pure investment and goes straight to the bottom line when it comes to a super willing, passionate and enthusiastic bed partner when the time comes.
Other trivia. First time thought about swimming in the sea. Huge mistake like soup. Makes the sea at Juhu Beach (Mumbai) look like The Carribean. Avoid certainly around beach road strip of sea. Gross.
In the past used Mr Vichram for taxi's from BKK to Patts. Seems no longer in the business! So used Pattaya Central and ended up with two pretty wild drivers. Not use again and gladly pay few hundred Bhat premium for a sensible driver next time.
I would like to finish with a question if I may. Planning next trip late September to Patt's. I am thinking about staying at Renaissance Pattaya Resort & Spa. This is a new hotel in Jomtein (address given as Moo3, Na Jomtein, Sattahip). I have never ventured outside of South Pattaya. Staying at this place, which is listed as 7 miles from Pattaya, likely to a big turn off for company coming with me for the night? And or will I be battling constantly with taxi's or being seriously ripped off to go that far? I don't mind some extra expense and disruption to stay out there but if it's a constant headache for above reasons will abandon the idea of evening trying a stay there! Any informed opinion much appreciated.
