[QUOTE=Wolvenvacht; 1325168]Since the Vietnam war. U-Tapao airport was home to some wings of B-52s.

It is still a joint military / civil airport.[/QUOTE]I recall this has been used when BKK was hit by the red shirts a couple do years ago but did not know it was in normal operation with some commercial flights. My miss.

My miss.[/QUOTE]Actually, it was the yellow shirts that shut down BKK. I flew out of U-Tapao during this time. Luvpuss is correct, it is not really "close" to Pattaya and there are very limited flights from there.

[QUOTE=Luvpuss;1325316]Just for info, I have flown into this place before. It is about 45 minutes from Pattaya, so not really the "Pattaya airport".[/QUOTE]With BKK being 1hr and something away, I agree. Was surprised to read about the Pattaya Phuket flight, to be honest.

I have a few friends who have moved down to Phuket for the simple reason they have access to all of SEA out of the Phuket airport. Utapao is just over the province line from Chon Buri into Rayong. With an approach end being over the Gulf of Thailand

My significant other is looking to have her 40th Birthday celebration in Thailand.

We spent a month in Spain recently where she was able to enjoy a number of full body sensual massages that took her to the next level.

I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations on where we should go?

She would only consider nice spa type atmospheres with male or female attendants that are open to pleasing her repeatedly.

Thank you

[QUOTE=Luvpuss; 1327461]?

Let me know when you are in town. Since it appears you can't take care of her, I will be glad too. No cost![/QUOTE]I am more interested in helpful responses, from non adolescents.

I'm hoping this site hasn't degenerated into senior members who feel the need to be drama queens.

Thank you everyone else for your help.

Take care,

Phuket is big.

Hey Guys,

I have read back a fair amount on this forum, trying to get a feel for what to expect on my first trip to Phuket.

I am coming the latter part of next week for about a week. It is a bit of a mixed crowd, many friends of both genders and should be a good trip in that regard. I am not bringing a +1, so was hoping to find some local fun. I know it is available, but my question are these. Are there any places with the quality of Nataree in BKK? Are there any higher end clubs, like some of the G clubs in BKK? Are most of the massage places, not in high end hotels, give a HE at the minimum.

It will raise a few eyebrows if I show up at some of the events with what is obviously a "rental friend", but if I find someone compatible I am not adverse to a weekly or multi-day arrangement.

I welcome your comments, and hope that I haven't disturbed the "natural order".

What do you think is better. Pattaya or Phuket?

Thanks

[QUOTE=Goldf3;1331517]What do you think is better. Pattaya or Phuket?[/QUOTE]Pattaya.

[QUOTE=Goldf3;1331517]Thanks[/QUOTE]You're welcome.

Silliness aside,"better" for what?

Arrived today, and it was raining. Albeit lightly.

Didn't get much background info. (read zero) , so I will be trying to develop my own ideas of what to expect in Phuket.

I am in the Kamala area.

I will ask a technical question, anyone have a positive experience with one of the prepaid mobile services including data for iPhone 4?

TIA

What provider do you have? If you have ATT, you can get away with just adding international. Neither verizon nor sprint will work well since they both use CDMA instead of GPRS or the step down of EDGE. All three of them lock their phones to not allow other carriers. Your best bet is to get a cheap phone from Orange or another provider there and a pay per use phone with some international time.
