[QUOTE=Gabriel071;2683934]What options do I have to travel from BKK to Pattaya?

Buses / shuttles?

Taxis?

Planning on arriving into BKK but will spend some time in Pattaya. How does it compare as far as services and women to BKK?

Thank advance and looking forward to seeing what Pattaya is all about.[/QUOTE]If you have selected the test and go option, stay in a hotel as close to airport as possible. Next day take the airport bus or a mini bus to pattaya. It will cost you around 200 BAHT. Taxi will cost you anywhere from 1200 to 2000 baht.

Depending on your arrival time a friend recently arrived in the morning he booked a reasonable price hotel that included pickup at the airport, testing, which at the airport inside the Van took him just off the airport never got out of Van for PCR test continued to Pattaya arrived around noon, by 4 Pm his result negative off to Soi Buakhao he went.

It won't be anywhere closer to what it used to be pre covid but I am hoping that some girls are beginning to line up in the evenings. Can someone please let me know how many are lining up. Are we back to 25% of pre covid glory?[/QUOTE]Any current intel from boots on the ground boys?

A typical night out in Pattaya:

I barfined a lady from Maggie May's, and we went to Soi 6 first to drink at Ruby Club. Right in front of us, some young Farang started fighting with someone who had been driving a truck (I didn't see how it started). Apparently, the driver had a knife and stabbed the Farang in the stomach and drove away. The Farang walked away, clutching his stomach.

Then we went to Walking Street.

Maybe 50% of the venues are still closed, but one major deprovement is that cars can now pass through Walking Street 24 hours a day. No fun.

First stop was Skyfall. It's a shadow of its former self, only 4 ladies dancing.

I ordered Sansom Soda for my Date, she told the waitress to bring Coke + Soda. So, I ordered tequilas for us. When they came, I drank hers, it was tequila flavored water.

Then we went to Pinup. It had been downsized by 50%, but was jammed with ladies and customers. Most of the waiters are Tom's, the rest are fat ladies. The Mamasans are older fat big ladies. But some of the dancers are very nice.

I ordered tequilas for us, and drank the one given to my Date. It was sugar water, so I demanded a real tequila. What I got wasn't tequila, but it had alcohol. The Tom who served us drinks was clearly trying to make time with my Date, so we left for Windmill.

Once again, I had a free ATK test before entry.

Once inside, a lady who I bought a drink for the previous night glommed onto me, and then another lady I knew from before Covid showed up, and I was buying rounds of tequila for 4 people. Except the waitress added a 5th tequila for her.

My Date was fairly astounded by Windmill, and after more tequila was grabbing the dancers. The only downside at Windmill was that the second floor was closed.

Then, we headed back to my place for fun and sleep. At 4 am, my Date woke up and headed back to her room, 2000 baht in hand.

Can anyone give an update on the situation in Ban Chang? My hopes are not high, but who knows. Thanks a lot, fellas!

What's the usual barfine in agogo bar at the walking street? I visted two gogo bars last night, one quoted 1200 and the other quoted 1300. I was kinda surprised.

[QUOTE=PuteNut;2683946]If you arrive into BKK I assume you do your Test & Go PCR test at a BKK hotel? When you're good you can take a bus or van from Ekkamai bus terminal (BTS Station Ekkamai, there's OK signage). Buses are about 119 baht and vans 140. Vans can drop you in central Pattaya (at the main road) but may take longer due to many stops / avoiding tolls.

Taxi Pattaya to BKK is 1200, BKK cabbies will probably ask much more, just guessing. I'd take Airport Link to BKK airport and try catch an empty, homebound Pattaya taxi at departures, they will be OK with maybe 900, surely 1000 (99% are empty on return). Have no idea how many they are now post covid. There are buses from Suvarnabhumi as well, daytime operation mostly these days.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=IHeartIpa;2684178]Use Bolt in Pattaya its significantly cheaper than Grab.

Shuttle van from BKK airport to Pattaya runs a few times a day, iirc leaves at 12:30 and 3 or 3:30 pm and maybe other times too. Its cheap.[/QUOTE]I saw on YouTube that shuttles take a few hours to get to Pattaya as they do not take toll ways whereas Taxis only take an hour and take tollways. Also, with a lot of luggage in hand I think a taxi may be better for me.

[QUOTE=BigKahuna;2681037]Hilton next to the Mall.

Ask for the rooms facing the ocean.[/QUOTE]I checked out the Pattaya Hilton, and while it looks like a great place, a suite is about $220 US. I am partial to suites, but that seems expensive.

So, I will ask a modified request for help. I want a hotel that is nice with excellent WiFi (I will need to Zoom while I am in Pattaya) that has nice suites. It does not have to be 4 or 5 star, but it must be GF. Breakfast is not important. For comparison, I stay in the Bless Residence in on Soi 33 in BKK (wonderful suites and very GF, for those who do not know the place. If you like a great breakfast, it is not for you, LOL).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks again, GM.

I always recommend the Wave Hotel on Beach Road directly south of the Hilton. The price is still expensive @$150 but it is quite nice when compared with the cost and look of the Hilton. GF, of course, though they must have ID to enter.

[/QUOTE]I have not found a hotel in Thailand that has excellent WiFi. So far, all of them have unpredictable times when it gets slow and unsuitable for things like Zoom.

My solution has been to get a Thailand cell service SIM that allows you to use hotspot functionality. The plain vanilla DTAC service sold at BKK baggage claim area works fine for me. I only use hotel WiFi to backup my iPhone.

I must admit that WiFi at most hotels is much better than it was a few years ago, but still not excellent.

The location is excellent. The suites are large and comfortable and have really large kitchens. It's been years since I stayed there, but when I did the wi-fi was acceptably fast.

You could also consider the Baraquda:

Also features an excellent location, next door to The Avenue shopping area. They have some suites with a balcony overlooking the pool. Very contemporary decor. Probably more expensive than the Whitehouse.

Finally, consider renting a condo. These come in various sizes, but if you look around you can find a 50 square meter place with an efficiency layout and a balcony. Some even have a washer and a decent cable TV / internet package.

A day in the life of a Pattaya ex-pat:

A massage lady came at 11 am. She specializes in balls massage so after 30 minutes of regular massage, she did my balls for an hour. I am beginning to think she likes doing that. But, no happy ending, I asked her not to.

Because at 2 pm, I went to Soi 6 and got a BBBJ CIM from a lady I know long time.

Afterwards, I went to the Empire Lounge in the Darkside for drinks with an older lady. After getting hammered, I went back to my condo.

At 8 pm, 2 ladies showed up for drinks. I cut the session short, because at 11 pm, the older lady came for an overnighter. She was really into it, had a complete personality change, wanted to fuck long time. Unfortunately, I was still hammered, so after a half hour, I passed out.

She left about 5 am, didn't wake me for payment. I sent her 2000 baht this morning, via bank transfer, because free sex is too expensive for me.

Just visiting from Bangkok where I actually live. First time since a while.

Any recommendations for a decent massage with extras? Doesn't have to be a young chick, just not a granny either. I know there are plenty massage places, but then there's always the odd one where you only get a massage (and a bad one on top).

And any other suggestions for daytime action? I know there's TF and all the apps, but I actually have some work to do while here, so I'd prefer something straightforward.

Thanks.
