Hi!
Has anyone tried this disco? I never went there because I though it was a LB/Gay place, and recently someone on a non-mongering website wrote that it was not.
I'm preparing a kind of Phuket FAQ, so I would like some additional information.
Cheers!

Cheers![/QUOTE]It opened when I was out there last jan, its not a patch on tiger disco for women!
[QUOTE=Gwailo]You didn't say how many days you have to spend, but if you have time why not go to both? Air Asia has cheap flights to Phuket.
Pattaya's nightlife is much better than Phuket IMO, but I found Phuket was a nice destination just not so much for mongering. I went on a day trip to James Bond Island and went scuba diving another day.
So if you can only visit one place and mongering is your #1 priority go to Pattaya.[/QUOTE]If you want more thn mongering phuket is far far better bit its all there if you want it. try a one night on one day off rule. Phuket now boasts some of the best hotels in the world which are nice going to just for a drink. for a holiday with a mate and a bit of relaxation its highly recommended.
[QUOTE=NakedFunGuy36]Need some solid advice please. I have been to Pattaya only once (loved it by the way). Am planning a trip this week to Thailand with a buddy and we are torn between going back to Pattaya or trying Phuket.
While Pattaya is awesome we are wanting to try other places for mongering. As this will be my last chance for at least 1 year to travel to Thailand I don't want to get somewhere and say "shit I wish I would have gone to the other place".
OK what I am looking for is go-go fun, Full on in your face kind of stuff. 2 or 3 girls at a time back in the room stuff.
While there are a lot of go-gos in Pattaya I'm not sure of the count or quality of the ones in Phuket. Been trying to find websites of any go-go's but not having any luck.
As far as beer bars go I like the go-go scene better (two years in Subic bay back in the day).
Also Phuket has better day trips from what I have read. Would like to go see the "beach" was filmed but it may be overrated not sure.
Also it seems as if the party places are spread out more in Phuket. Maybe Pattaya just has more is the reason.
GFE for a few days would be nice to have our own personal guide. Also are the girls better looking than pattaya or worse on a whole. I can find ugly and pretty girls everywhere but on a whole is it about the same?
So if anyone has been to both places and can offer any advice I would be truly thankful.[/QUOTE]Dear NFG36,
If you're specifically looking for Go Gos, Pattaya is much better than Phuket. Was in Phuket last year, and IMHO it's sort of the reverse. The Phuket beer bars were better than Phuket Go Gos. The advantage of the Phuket beer bars is that they're all open and together, so you can walk through and see a dozen at a time, without having to walk in, get harassed for a drink, etc.
BANGKOK, Thailand - A passenger plane heading to one of Thailand's leading tourist destinations crashed Sunday as it tried to land in heavy rain and was engulfed in flames. A regional official said as many as 100 people were feared dead.
Worapot Ratthaseema, deputy governor of Thailand's Phuket island, said that as many as 100 were dead, based on assessments that as few as 20 passengers made it of the wreck alive.
"I believe 90 percent or about 100 passengers are fear dead," Worapot said, adding that Phuket airport in southern Thailand had been temporarily closed following the crash of the One-Two-GO jet.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) — A One-To-Go Airlines jet crashed and was engulfed in flames as it attempted to land in heavy rain at the Phuket airport in southern Thailand on Sunday, authorities said.
Maj. Gen. Deecha Butnamphet, police chief in Phuket, said on local television station TITV that "we believe that there are many people who are dead. We are taking the dead and injured out from the scene.
"The airplane is completely destroyed and inflamed," he said.
It wasn't immediately known how many people were on board, though TITV said without citing sources that 123 mostly foreign tourists were the passengers, which was traveling from Bangkok to Phuket, a popular resort area for tourists.
TITV reported 60 dead, but Chaisak Angsuwan, director general of the Air Transport Authority of Thailand, could not confirm that.
Angsuwan told The Associated Press by telephone he believes "there are people dead, but the number is still unclear."
Earlier, Angsuwan had told TITV that there was heavy rain when One-To-Go airlines flight OG269 from Bangkok to Phuket attempted to make a landing. One-To-Go, a budget airline, is owned Orient Thai Airways.
"The visibility was poor as the pilot attempted to land. He decided to make a go-around but the plane lost balance and crashed. It was torn into two parts," he said.

Hi all,
I'll be making my first trip to Phuket in the next few weeks. I've narrowed the hotel choices to these 4: Baan Laimai, Baan Sukothai, Patong Resort Hotel and holiday inn. From the websites, they are all about the same price, holiday inn being the most expensive. Location wise, they all seem to be within walking distance to the entertainment zone, baan sukhothai being the closest. I was wondering from the experienced one's on this forum, which one of these hotels have people had personal experience with. Any comments would be appreciated.
ST
I advise you, if anyone else had not previously provided relevant information on this topic for these hotels, to check if they charge a "joiner fee" (it means you have to pay extra when you bring girls to your room at night). Joiner fees can go up to 1000 THB/night in some hotels. So if you take a girl for the usual price, 1000THB ST / 1500 THB LT, and have to pay an extra 1000 THB for joiner fee, you end up paying double price for pussy.
Some hotels do, some don't. In particular, familly oriented hotels often charge JF. You can send an email or fax to these hotels to ask if they charge a joiner fee and which price. No reason to be ashamed to ask this question in Phuket.
That's the first criteria for choosing an hotel.
Hi all,
Tust reading the forum again the last days. Had been in Patong twice and can give some generall opinion.
Phuket. Pattaya:
The difference is already well described. Pattaya is the Thai centre of mass-mongering and mass tourism. I do not like it that much. It is too much industry-like in any aspect. It is loud and dirty (just because its big and crowded) in the city and on the beaches. Still you can have a nice vacation. But only if you like that kind of "big city".
Phuket as an island is still more Thailand and not just another mass-tourist destination, though it is heading this direction. But you can easily find nice cosy beaches. Patong is the Pattaya of Phuket:.) Depending on the season you can easily find nice girls in the beer bars or freelancers in the two or three discos. Though also Pattaya has developed as a destination for couples and families, Phuket definetly already is the "family island". That means, that there is a very normal tourist scene and. Also and just in another lane. The mongering scene. That means that you can have a mongering vacation in the beer bars. Also very relaxed (apart from the musical noise.), but without big show or special attractions. But you can have a nice time cheating with the girls and finally grab one for the night. But it is more "finding a girl with financial interest" than pure "pussy shopping" (as in Pattaya). And there are massage parlors (I. E. Christines) and gogos which offer short timers. I sometimes think they are specialized for husbands who sent there wife shopping. That's why they are more expensive. But this experience is avoidable.
That means for hotels:
Hotels in Patong:
There are basicly four types of accomodation:
- appartments on an monthly fee rate: for the long stay. The cheapest
- guesthouses/budget: for the still existing backpackers. They normaly choose no joiner fee. But you have to expect young european couples while you have breakfast with your girl. No problem. But can be interesting. (I had been at the beach road inn this March. And may stay some nights in November)
- mongering hotels: partly also guesthouses. There are several (nearly hunderd, I guess.) hotels of different price (20-50 bucks) with nearly only mongers as guests. These hotels are the best for first timers. You have no "stress" with your girl, because almost any other guest is not alone. You can mak friends to monger together or at least get tips where to go (I stayed in the summer breeze in soy san sabaai: absolutely to recommend for american mongerers. Prices are o. K. And offer three roomtypes. Direct at the action)
- family hotels: These are normaly the up-scale hotels that also charge a joinerfee. Some also do not like or even forbid girls. I think this is o. K.. Because there are so many opportunities for mongers that they just "protect" there couples and families. People without experience tend to book these hotels because they make a familiar and "save" impression. My recommendation: If you go to Thailand, relax while booking and planing: Apart from peak season you can find a room while you are there. So just book one ore two nights to know where to go from the airport and check out yourself. Or search a nice accomodation via Internet. Use this forum and the guestbooks of the hotels and even direct contact to check out whether it suits your interests.
Have fun!

S Times,
I stayed at Holiday Inn before the Tsunami. It was a great place, but it is [b]NOT[/b] girl friendly. If you're not planning to bring a friend back it's great.
My friends and me always go to the Patong Resort. Since about 10! Years. Book a double room in internet (atsiam.com, phuketravel or sawadee.com) at the garden wing or Main wing if you like. I prefere the deluxe rooms in the Garden Wing. With a double room you will have no problems. The joiner fee is already paid then. If you want you can change the girl 3 times a day. They only have to give the ID at the entrance. Walking distance to Bangla is 45 seconds!
But please note, that there are families and other guests. Respect them if you you have a girl.
Good luck
I can chip in a bit here. Stayed in Phuket for a week in November both in 2004 and 2005. There is a place called the Aloha hotel that i found to be quiet and nice. 1500b is regular rates and is about 1/2 mile from the beach. They do post a joiner fee of 5 or 600 baht but i don't like to bring girls back to my room so that is a non-issue. It is away from all of the noise and party animals which is OK at times. Also it is far enough away from any tsunami activity. It wasn't touched by the 2004 one.
Gee, sounds like I'm getting old here.......LDP
spent some fantastic days in patong last week. low season with few tourists, so 10 girls for evey guy. rain every day but i found the perfect place in a roof covered small soi with a few bars. walk bangla rd from the see side to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134][CodeWord134][/url] rd and turn left. after about 150 m there is a small soi to the left (opposite side from ayudhya bank). with a 7/11 at the corner. inside the soi (soi sukuhumvit) there are a few bars, but the good thing is that it is covered so rain season is no problem.
i spent several nights there as the atmosphere is very relaxed and less noicy compared to the discos like tiger, banana, etc. black and white bar is good, but my choice is thunder bar. the owner is a slim, light dark skinned lady from surin. one pool table and the owner loves to be challenged (but be careful, she is not a beginner!). lot's of fun and open until early morning or when the last guests leave. girls are on and off, but the cuties are quickly picked up. miss m will f.. till you drop dead! take care and enjoy.
As I read Phunts post I have to add another possibility to stay close to the action while avoiding different types of lisy and loud music. You just have to stand Bob Marley all the night. And have to accept that you get served your beer by stoned thai rasta boys:.)
If that's o. K. For you, the reggea pub (or somewhat similar) is an nice spot to "relax" from window shopping in all the sois. Because of the missing windows I sometimes have to relax from the sois.
Soi Sea Dragon itself is in the middle of bangla road and are actualy two sois. In the middle there is a line of bars and on the sides with the buidlings are some a-go-go's. So you can jump from one bar to another without getting to wet. The bars are nothing special, but in the rainy season now you may get some nice girl anyway.
Have fun, will join in November.
