Pattaya Reports

[QUOTE=Mr Enternational;1154765]I don't usually go for chicks this slim (her bra was 32A whereas I'm more of a 38D guy) but she was just beautiful to me. 37 years old with braces, no kids, and reminded me of a hairstylist that I met off TLL my first time in Pattaya. I don't usually repeat either but this one is well worth it.[/QUOTE]Good report and excellent work bruh. I don't like the slim types either but their always one or two exceptions every trip. Especially those ones who have some gap action going on or are slightly bow legged. Keep bangin'!

[QUOTE=Keeniu;1154773]Opportunity: Teach the girl, reneging on a deal is a big mistake...[/QUOTE]My native language is English, and this report is written ostensibly in English, but I don't understand what you are talking about.

Daddy07,

If you had stuck to learning Thai you might have understood it? He was basically saying don't overpay there is no assurance if you do that you will get better service? Stick to your rule of thumb!

[QUOTE=JodyBond;1154710]Very, very informative. From the girls to the lodging and services info. Excellent.[/QUOTE]Dude, you quoted three screens of info to add one tag line.

Do a little snipping. Cut out some of the info, we have read it already.

[QUOTE=JodyBond;1154703]Thanks. Where or what exactly is BKK?[/QUOTE]Weren't you asking for the (ariport) code for the best airport. And BKK stands for Bangkok.

Suggest you do a bit of googlemaps homework before RTFF on ISG.

Excellent and very informative report, Jody Bond

Excellent report, DD Phil

Again, no complaints and the fair was pretty much the same as Mr. T. [/QUOTE]The boss at Pattaya Taxi is Mr. Virach Songklam. He answers e-mails promptly and dispatches a driver to your location. If you need to coordinate via cell phone, you can call him and he'll speak to the driver (who may not speak much English).

Pattaya Taxi charges 1,000 for the trip from Bangkok to Pattaya or vice versa. That includes tolls. I usually thrown the guy an extra hundred baht. During my most recent trip I drew a Camry for the drive to Pattaya. Very comfortable indeed. On the drive from Pattaya to the airport, I drew a smaller car. Whatever they call a Toyota Corolla. The trunk was too small for my (admittedly massive) suitcase. So the driver put in in the front seat next to him. The back seat was not as roomy as the Camry. But it was fine for one person.

On a related note, last fall I posed the definitive guide for navigating the BKK airport and catching a taxi downtown.

Hi All. I'm making my first trip to south east Asia, planning to spend 1 week in Pattaya and 1 week in Phillipines (Manila and / or Cebu). I will be working remotely and need a reliable Internet connection. Is this realistic is these places? I'm thinking / hoping the higher-end hotels will have such things. Please advise if otherwise. If I can't work I have to take unpaid vacation which adds more cost to the trip.

2nd main question is this: Is there any issue with trading stocks on the US market from foreign countries. I make a few trades a week using Charles Schwab and Fidelity. I'd like to be able to place trades from these countries and be blocked. I know I can call on phone and place a trade with a representative for $25-33 per trade (vs. $8-10 normally). Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks for the reports. I'll submit mine upon return.

Haven't ever found a hotel even in the range of 900-1500 baht that doesn't have wifi. And have always found it relibale (iei not dropping in an out). Shouldn't be a problem.

Dunno on your stock market q. But us guys are always willing to hear a hot tip!

1. I have found the internet in both countries readily available and reliable.
2. If you mean you risk to get blocked because of a foreign IP number, get a US VPN for that.

Fellow Forum Members, I just found out that I will need to be in Pattaya for a friend's bachelor party on 30 May 2011 to 2 Jun 2011. The problem is my flight from Malaysia will land in Bangkok International Airport around 6. 55pm. I wanted to book a seat on the BELL bus but their timetable indicated that the last bus leave Bangkok Int Airport for Pattaya at 6pm.

Is there an alternative bus service (similar to BELL where they deliver you to your hotel) that I can consider?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks & Regards

[QUOTE=Mango Pancakes;1154607]I was walking back on the beach walk at about 3:30 a. M. And a farang man and bar girl were having sex in the water. Or at least I think they were. I thought those huge floodlights that are there now would deter people from doing that but I guess not.[/QUOTE]Nice, I choose Hotels that have a jacuzzi, expensive but greeeeat.

I never do any banking on WIFI, instead I take the time to go the Internet shop that I have been using for a number of years. I look for a clean place with updated software protection on their computers to check into my accounts and do transaction. Like C. S. I just log in with my S. S and PW here and view my do my transaction I have never been denied access to my account because I'm here in Thailand. Whenever I'm done I erase everything that I have done?
