[QUOTE=Syzygies;2091811]What is the perfect central location to be in, in Pattaya, to minimise need to use taxis? Is it practical to try to mostly avoid taxis? Not having been in Pattaya for many years I don't know much about operating hours for the "Song Thaews" (sometimes known as Baht bus but definitely no bus). [/QUOTE]Uncle V. already mentioned the perfect central location. As for the operating hours of the song thaews: they are running 24 hours a day in this area.

I am sure no one enjoys paying ridiculous amounts to the taxis but is there always a good option? In Bangkok coming home from Cowboy 5 km by taxi is a good option at under 80 Baht. However I could see that in Pattaya you might want to be a lot closer to the action.[/QUOTE]Unless it's a block or two no taxi will take you anywhere for under 200 baht. The taxi mafia refuses to use taxi meters even though they have recently been told again that they must use meters.
Depends what your budget is for a hotel and what you plan on doing in Pattaya. This has been discussed in the Pattaya hotel thread. Since I believe you are mainly a gogo guy you can stay at places near Walking Street like Baywalk Residence, Aya Boutique Hotel, or LK Empress. If you want to stay at a place you can get home easily with your gogo date you can stay at Baraquda or Avani Hotel. If you want to be conveniently located to both Walking Street and LK Metro I would recommend LK Residence or LK Metropole, both are steps from the LK Metro gogo bars. Quick to get to and from Walking Street using the Soi Buakhao baht bus to go to Walking Street and returning home on 2nd Road. These hotels are all in the area Uncle V mentioned.

I am not really "a mainly gogo" guy, however I just go anywhere I can find pretty girls with really great bodies (limited defects) that are really into Farangs more so than other types of guys. It just happens that a bar is place where can check out thoroughly the body of the girl and the check the vibe between the two people. I don't usually buy if unsure. Can spend time and ask her questions to discover her attitudes. Can determine if she might be a GFE and into DFK. I don't need pornstars so much. I presume you don't also. I have to admit to liking girls better when they have no clothes on. LOL I would like to cut back on bargirls where I can find cheaper alternatives. I only have one regular who spends the whole night with me (more value), and she was never a bargirl.
In the past I used to be mainly a Soapies guy. Then about 10 years ago I was doing Oilies quite heavily. Never been that big on freelancers and SWs as get too many shocks when they take the clothes off and most of them are not planning on fucking for well over 30 minutes (Low success rate for me), where I am a 60 to 90 minute guy (even two hours for really experienced and high stamina girls).
Soapies vastly deteriorated over the years due to Surgeries and due to declining girl attitudes and increase in dick scared girls used to doing Asian customers. Became hard to find real natural beauties that were also GFE and horny, but still possible. With Oilies, well it is just so hard to find pretty girls there, and they don't seem to last long. Hell I can even do BJ bars if I can find a girl with good enough face and body. Just does not excite me to fuck very average type of girls, when GF has a very hot curvy body.
The other thing I like is when a lot of monger venues are real close to each other. Then can move from one to another till find something I like. Plenty of times entered several massage shops in succession not quite finding the girl hot enough for me. Sometimes looked in several bars in succession and even walked up and down a Soi looking for a pretty freelancer (are there any?) LOL
So clearly the best aspect of Pattaya has to be the concentration of monger venues close to each other.

If you are doing the same trip several times you know the price before you call. Have a few to call in case he is busy.

[/QUOTE]Anywhere close to Beach Road or Second Road. The most reliable, 24/7 songtaew line goes loops from Dolphin Monument to Walking Street along Beach Road, and then back along Second Road. There are other lines, of course, but less frequent, and perhaps not active at night.
I stay in that area and virtually never use taxis in Pattaya. To be honest, I don't see much of interest beyond the Third Road to the east and North Pattaya Road, though I know there are some venues that way.
Jomtien is also served by songtaew, but requires changing near South Pattaya intersection. Same line serves the bus station with buses to Suvarnabhumi (near Thepprasit v Thappraya junction), which is more convenient than the station on and Pattaya Road. Seems like the powers that be removed public songtaews along that road (to the main bus station there), in order to maximize extortion opportunities (songteaw departing from bus station charges 50 baht for a ride that costs 10 baht everywhere else, and there isn't one going the other way).
Bangkokroughguide? Sorry. Not trying to advertise another site here but it seems to have disappeared without a trace. This was a busy site too. I know several posters here posted there too. Anyone know what happened?
Hi!
I live on the north side of Bangkok off Ladprao Rd between Ratchadapisek and Phahonyothin. While I've found a couple good MP's for a regular massage, I'm not having any luck finding a place that offers extras. The closest would be further down Ratchadapisek, which is fine. Some days I just don't feel like dealing with the mrt!
Can anyone recommend a MP offering extras in that area of Ladprao Road, or anywhere close. I'm often near the intersection of Ratchada / Phahonyothin near Major Ratchada. Is there any along Phahonyothin north of that intersection?
Many thanks!
Other than Pattaya and Bangkok, which SEA cities are the best to go to with gogo style clubs or maybe INDOOR bars like those near Riverside 136/130 in Phnom Penh? I DO NOT enjoy outdoor bars.
I am not interested in places like iBar / Insomnia in Pattaya or other pick up bars where the music is so loud I can't easily speak with the girl or it is so crowded with guys where my girl and I don't have our own space. Places like Beach Club and Thai Club in Kuala Lumpur are ok. Ipanema in Singapore is bearable. I'd prefer to have my girl in my arms by 9 pm and go out with them all night rather than wait until 3 am to pick up a girl.
Any ideas appreciated. Ho Chi Minh? Kuala Lumpur? Singapore? Jakarta? Phuket? Angeles City? Anywhere else?

Many thanks![/QUOTE]Many that know something maybe lazy to answer since you give a very lazy impression from your post. I don't have the personal experience (not in the area) but can still find stuff easy enough.
Even Poseidon Soapy is not that far away. I travel several km to monger so why not you too, or live closer to the action.

Perhaps you can drive the translate of Thai to English on Google.
Also you can feed in Chatuchak for search functions.
Hmmm. Sorry to give you the idea that I'm lazy. I've done quite a bit of searching prior to posting my question. This searching included a number of visits to local MP's. I will continue investigating the area. My guess is I will have to travel if I want these services. However, seeking something closer and more convenient isn't lazy. Just simply logical.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
DO.

DO.[/QUOTE]Yes, you may well not be as lazy as your prior post suggests. LOL One needs to be careful how we word things these days. So would help if you posted some detail about what places you tried nearby. The info you give, the more you might inspire someone who lives in your area to give up some knowledge. It isn't me that knows the area at all.
To me it is not quite logical to go looking for action in the nearest place that might provide. I prefer to go to best places with girls to suit my style and spec. Probably very Thai oriented places are not going to suit me (Thais normally pop so quick). That (my style) could require more effort but also reward better. My most regular Gik lives in a district that is 14 km away from me. This requires a 20 to 25 min taxi ride late at night and worse in daytime. I just have to accept it. I keep hoping she will move to my side of town. I have thought about what would happen if we were in the same apartment block. LOL I might get bored with her.
What is logical for me is to travel to a location where some sure thing girls are available, even if not close by.
Maybe the difference is I am very picky about who is a good or adequate fuck, to be worth actually spending any money on it. Quality of looks stamina and attitude is required for me. Others may just want a HJ and any girl will do. Put a bag over her head. LOL.
I once lived near to Udom Suk but never checked out the local Thai oriented monger venues. Perhaps I was wrong not to do that, however just feared a lot of wasted money finding unsuitable girls.
Have a weekend free in Asia when going to China, and wondering if it's worth taking the trip to Pattaya just for 2 or 3 days. I know the mongering scene in BKK very well but I've never been in Pattaya.

Pattaya is fun also.

I know the mongering scene in BKK very well but I've never been in Pattaya.[/QUOTE]It is worth it because the vibe is very different from BKK and a cool thing to experience. However, you need to decide whether you want to devote X-hours just on travel (time to the airport in China, flight to BKK, commute to Pattaya, and then back again). If coming from South China then more bearable but flying in from Shanghai or Beijing, you're looking at close to 20 hours all-in just on the travel for a weekend!
Fact: I love BKK and Patty and have been there a couple of times.
Problem: Supervisor at home that would really question a single guy trip to Patty. I need the best fking excuse in the world to go to BKK for another 5-7 days and then escape to Patty with the bus. A business opportunity, my best friends wedding / funeral or helping an old friend become sober would work. (I have been looking for jobs that require frequent travelling to BKK just for this).
I need your help guys, what excuse could I have to go to BKK, or even to Patty? Give me all your ideas!
