Pattaya is busy, Skyfall gogo price quotes of $6 K Baht and Noki Thai short time
Arrived in Pattaya 2 days ago. It's really busy, but I've never been to Pattaya in high season.
Beach Road has lots of venders along it, so not as many street girls, but that might change after Thai Holiday ends today and all the tourists go home.
There's a shit ton of couples walking around.
I was here last August and it was really nice and not crowded at all. Bars were full of girls and not that many men.
I walked into Skyfall on walking street around 11:30 PM last night and was quoted $2 K bar fine and the girl wanted $4 K for short time!
Now that is high! I sighed in front of the manager and she said after midnight bar fine dropped to $1. 5 K Baht and the girl held up her fingers and showed me 3 for $3 K Bah't for short time.
$4. 5 K BAHT FOR SHORT TIME IS STILL TOO HIGH!
My friend and I walked out.
As I walked back to my hotel on Beach Road I sent a chat to Noki Thai ([URL]https://www.pornhub.com/model/noki_thai[/URL]) who my friend and I met earlier that night near Tree Town.
I asked her to meet me at my hotel and she replied "I only do ST - $3 K ST and $5 K ST with anal".
She was at my hotel room in 10 minutes for $3 K ST.
Had fun and she said tomorrow I can come 2 times for $3 K, we'll see if I can get her lower than $3 K.
High Season last weekend of 2023 observations
I would say tourism wasn't a massive hit The locals would hope for. Soi Bukhao was quiet last Friday night. Traffic was bad on 2nd Road. I've seen a more bigger Soi 6 crowds in years past. I would say at best the locals are getting 80% of the tourist numbers they are hoping for. Massage parlors weren't full and many businesses opening later than normal.
High season and busy or not
Well for those guys who say its NOT busy. You are right.
For those guys who say it is busy. You are also right.
Let me explain.
* This high season is way worse than last year. It started later and before Christmas it was down to 50% compare to last year (source: several business owners).
* Since Christmas its a lot better. However as mentioned here several times. The demographics have changes. More couples / asian. Less "farang".
* NYE weekend is packed. Just check prices at agoda and you will see.
Real question is. This slow starting high season? How long will it last? Will it stay at this high till end of Chinese newyear (Feb. 10) or will everything collapse again after the 1st week of January? And then pickup early Feb. (because of Chinese new year)?
