[QUOTE=Knobrm]will be coming to BKK & potentially to Pattaya next week. Was reading various forums and some claim Pattaya is like a ghost town, supply & quality of girls down. Mongers out there now - how is it? Worth to spend few days in Pattaya or better off partying in BKK all week?[/QUOTE]
Go to pattaya!
Whats are the best bars or places early afternoon in bangkok and pattaya to find good looking younger working girls (when I say young I mean (20-25)
For those of you that have travelled from BKK airport to Pattaya how much do you expect to pay for the trip? I'm talking about by car, not really into saving money by taking the bus. On the other hand, I don't see the point of getting ripped off needlessly, how much should I expect a taxi from the airport to set me back?
[QUOTE=Woodman2]Last week there was no joiner fee at the Areca if only 1 girl per night stayed.
It could be a different girl every night.
The 300 Baht was levied if 2 girls together came to the room on 1 night.[/QUOTE]This is correct as of yesterday. But if you enter the rear wing (Corona) with 2 girls - or indeed a girl without an ID card, and do so via the car park rather than through the lobby, then no registration or joiner fee is paid.

Taxi from BKK to Pattaya you can get for 1000 bht, 800 if you really try hard. But nothing wrong with the bus ground floor and to the left the bell truck company 200 baht, its the business, air con bus, comfortable and takes same time as taxi.
Sterile,
When you come out of Immigration, turn left and go out the door, prior to that there will be many trying to wave you down for your business. Once you are out of the door you will see a Taxi booth, the cost is 1500 baht to Pattaya in a Taxi, which most likely will be a Toyota Vios, make sure you indicated to the clerk, toll included, you will see it mark on the bottom of slip!
I came back to Thailand this July and this the method I took to get to Pattaya. Although future responses might give you something cheaper I was told that the price was different from the Airport to Pattaya and that might be true since a trip from Pattaya to the Airport is much cheaper. I use a booth very dependable on the corner of Soi Diana and Soi Buakhoa for 900 baht including toll.
If you travel lite, taking the bus, depending when you arrive is a good option. Bell Travel, 200 baht and that includes toll in my opinion it is a steal even at 200 baht, last year it was 150 baht.
Good luck, LBM

If the 2500bt price is not for you then please take our 1700bt instead.
Our original ladies are the same price and we have not started to charge more (fact).[/QUOTE]
Plus the 500 baht tip that is a required "tip"
is that correct Aey ?

[QUOTE=Jokerstar]like in Bangkok things are not the same compared to last year. Girls are in general "low quality" to use an expression I saw in another post in here.
Having said that, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil offer premium quality ladies. Go and change your bath into reais and try something else, if you haven't given the Brazilian ladies a change yet. On top of that their "moves" are better.
IF you go to Thailand: spend most of you time in BKK and spend only friday and saturday in Pattaya. The general level is higher all around in BKK. On other weekdays in Pattaya you don't see goodies.

Well written Jokerstar. I am also going to spent 2 months in Thailand, though I have 2 weeks left. Well, I got the same impression in BKK the quality of girls regarding looks is a bit better than Pattaya in general, also I am now planing to spent my next holiday in Latin America, since I am a buttlover and Thailand with mainly flat asses girls is not the right hunting ground.
But, I wouldn't say that the weekends are for Pattaya. I found that during the weekends the clubs and GoGos are full of Sexpats which makes the ratio between doable girls and men to the worse. Better days are Mondays to thursdays imho. At that days the bars are not crowded and also the ratio between men and women is much better.

When talking girls you meet most interesting ones friday/saturday. I don't know if this is due to freelancers off their normal work come in or what. That was the reason for him to go these days.
But taking the ratio aspect into consideration you are right :-)
[QUOTE=BKK Dreaming]Plus the 500 baht tip that is a required "tip"

BK[/QUOTE]Tips are based on service. It would be nice if a tip was offered as of course ladies in parlous work for money. Not good service no tip good service tip would be nice.

Walk along beach road towards Soi 6. If you don't find anything along beach road that you like, then turn up Soi 7 or Soi 6 and stroll around the beer bars there until you find a girl that you like. IMHO that is where the best day time action is, others might have different views.
I have had this information for sometime before I forget about it I better post it now.
For those of you in or going to be in Pattaya, in regards to the topic of ATM'S charges of 150 baht for foreign debit and credit cards holders. It has already been mentioned that the following Banks are not charging the fee. Here are some locations of those Banks if you happen to be within the area and what to save 150 baht per withdraw and put it towards a beer to two.
Aeon ATM, One located on the main level of Carrefour but it has been OFF-LINE FOR 2 WEEKS NOW. There is also a Aeon Branch and a bunch of machines at Tesco, just off Pattaya Nua Rd.
Government Bank ATM: ( to some Thai's this is consider the Kings Bank ) Red but close to pink color machine. One located upstairs in Carrefour, just outside the super market.
UOB ATM, always located next to their Money Exchange Booth:
One located on 2rd, on left hand side right after Soi 13/3, One located on Beach Rd, left hand side right after Mike department store just before Soi 12.
One located on Soi 13/2 near Beach Rd. across from Pizza Hut.
Good luck, LBM

There are a few taxi services that will meet you at the airport and deliver you to Pattaya for 1100 Baht. Just Google "Pattaya Taxi" and you will get a good list. My favorite is VR Private Taxi Service. I've used them 4 times, and they're VERY dependable. The driver will wait for you at the airport with your name on a placard, and he'll drop you off at your Pattaya hotel about an hour and a half later. No drama.

Thanks to all for that great info. To the poster that asked why I'm asking how much if I'm not bothered about saving money with the bus - the simple reason is I don't want to be a gullible tourist paying over the odds and ultimately making it harder for us all to get a fair deal. Thanks again to all
