Pattaya Reports

[Forty Drinks]

To make a comment like this, you would have to be here I think. Last week you were making posts saying you were here and then in other posts you were saying you were coming in March.

Here is the real scoop. Tourist areas like LK Metro, Walking street and Soi 6 are very busy these days. Other areas like Tree Town, Soi Pothole, Soi Made, Myth and Soi Boomerang are still struggling, as well as the bars further down Soi Bukao. They will have the odd good night but business is not consistent. One or two bad days for every good day. Play Girlz was completely dead last night. But a few bars, such as Maggie Mays and Buzzin Lounge are still going strong. Cat Flaps and Kinaree are always steady with the local expats and same with Soi Bonchot. While I was in Soi 6 Friday, the girls were focussing on the Asian customers hoping for a big pay day, that most farangs won't give them. There are tons and tons of ladies here and if some are hooked up with holiday boyfriends there are still plenty of ladies to go around. If you don't have a TF premium account you will find it hard to navigate as the girls are busier and won't be scrolling back looking at older messages they missed and unless you get them online and get lucky, its a bit of a crap shoot. Try to get their lines and talk to them outside the app.

Have a good day Mr. Finch, AKA 40 drinks, Raj Patel and who knows who else. I believe your posts are being screened by the gods as you should be a senior member by now, but I suspect your 40 drinks profile has been linked to all your others. Why not just use the original profile you created. They will always seem to keep you on moderated status anyways. believe me, it will save you all the time you use to create new accounts. This is just my theory. I could be wrong lol

Tat said 25,000,000 tourists for all of 2023. Down from 40 M pre covid.

I was there till Jan 2. 2024. Does not take a Geniue s to surmise it's not that busy.

Counter which I am getting used to. 2 days in 27 out. I got 178 days left to use. LOL. Hahaha.

I don't know how busy Pattaya is in general, only that January is peak season for guys to hook up with ladies long time. Lots of guys barfining ladies for 2 weeks, falling in love, and then sponsoring ladies until they sober up.

Next month is when the ladies return to the village to sponge off their sponsor.

My fear have been confirmed. You are going by past history.

Hot Singapore reporter said Thailand is in Rezession. Which means Pattaya is in Depression.

Is lady drink mandatory? Or even I want to ask- is it a must to order beer, for myself even if I don't drink. What else can a teetotaler like me order in a beer bar?
- What is the minimum including the overhead (bar fines / lady drink) that I would have to spend for having Short time fun with a beer bar girl in Pattaya.

No. Diet Coke, soda water. You can just walk in and say let's go fuck. The bar fine is set by the bar. The money that you give the lady can be negotiated.

how to differentiate between a girl and lady boys.

A lady looks and sounds like a lady. A ladyboy looks like a man with makeup and a wig and sounds like billy goat gruff.

Freelancer seems to be risky based on general opinion available on net due to risk of STD and being scammed by them.

Wrong.

Hey Brethren,

I am visiting Pattaya / Bangkok soon. I have already visited once but long-long back.

While I have gone through a lot of stuff available online regarding various options available -beer bars, gogo bars, soapy / massages etc in Thailand, but still haven't got information that I was looking for and that's regarding having ST with beer bar girls:

- Is lady drink mandatory? Or even I want to ask- is it a must to order beer, for myself even if I don't drink. What else can a teetotaler like me order in a beer bar?

- how to differentiate between a girl and lady boys. Last time I found that there are too many lady boys which are not easily identifiable and look a lot sexier than girls.

- Has any one stuck in such a situation that they mistaken chosen a lady boy for ST and later realized it?

- What is the minimum including the overhead (bar fines / lady drink) that I would have to spend for having Short time fun with a beer bar girl in Pattaya.

- Any recommendation on particular beer bar in Soi 6 or may be near LK metro.

I have already tried soapies a few times, but it seems to be expensive to me considering the fact that it's also hit or miss based on which girl you choose and based on your luck (may be looks and nationality as well). Freelancer seems to be risky based on general opinion available on net due to risk of STD and being scammed by them.

TIA.

I was waiting outside for a TF girl to arrive. And then when she did, this happened.

Lucky he didn't land on some poor innocent passer by. The idiot deserved to die but risking other peoples lives for your thrills is disgusting. There are responsible ways to do base jumping other than onto a busy public street endangering others.

Alright figured it's time I write a little about my trip. I'll make a full report sometime in the next few days. I visited Pattaya for the first time this past November for a couple of weeks, and boy am I utterly impressed. I've traveled to Colombia and other South American countries many times before, but nothing compares to Thailand, or at least Pattaya.

My first day there I was very tired from the flights, almost 2 days worth of flying and layovers had me really beat. Got onto my transport at the airport in BKK through Nam's Lady Drivers, and slept for half the trip. Got to the hotel in Pattaya just before 4 PM local time. Took a nice and long shower and immediately headed over to Honey Body Massage on Soi Honey, near where I stayed. This massage opened my eyes. I have never experienced anything like it before. The woman I chose wasn't all that great in the looks department once she took off her dress, but she was good at massaging. After this, I went to eat some pad Thai, then took a walk around LK Metro and Soi Pothole, took a dive into Maggie Mays but all the good looking women were taken. Had a beer and left. At this point I was extremely tired and the massage only made my body need more sleep, especially for a bed after the grueling flights in Economy class. Headed over to a 7-11 and picked up some snacks and small necessities and then got back to my room to knock out.

I woke up around 10 AM the next day, had breakfast at a British pub and took a walk around exploring Central Festival, the Bazaar, and had a foot massage that was amazing. Had late lunch and then just relaxed for a bit. After nightfall I finally visited Soi 6, and my mind was completely and utterly blown. This was it, gentlemen. The videos I had watched on YouTube did not prepare me as much as I thought they would.

I have never had as much fun as I had had in Pattaya. It completely blows everything else out of the water, at least from what I know. I'm young, late 20's, so I still have much of the world to see, but it will be hard to top this. As I said, I'll write up more details of my short trip later. I did not partake much in Walking Street, just a quick tour to see it for myself and that was it.

And I've already booked my next trip, though this time it will be for 3 entire weeks in Thailand, even after counting travel time, which is admittedly the worst part of the trip, as I live in the US. Unfortunately, that also means I will have to wait almost a year for my next trip, but it's well worth the wait in my opinion.

So being 33 years old, in pretty good shape, hanging out in a place with party time, great food and beverages, hot and cold running pussy in all directions just wasn't interesting or exciting enough for him. He had to jump off the top of a skyscraper too.

Sad report. May he RIP.

So this will be my first trip to Thailand. I am choosing Pattaya in November for my birthday, but I am also bringing my dad. I am already on Tinder, Thai Cupid, and another site trying to set things up. thinking about getting a villa, this way I can just have 5- 6 women there at all times. Does anybody have any thoughts?

As others have noted, renting a villa is not a good idea because you'll be located FAR from the action. First timers usually finding lodging in the central part of town. Say, in a 1,500 meter radius around Central Festival Mall. There is a separate forum with Pattaya hotel reviews. You'll find lots of information there. You can also rent condos via Airbnb. But beware that many of the condos for rent are VERY small, in some cases about 30 square meters. Too cramped for you and your dad. I don't know your lodging budget, but you should be able to book a couple of nice connecting rooms at any of the major hotels and be close the naughty boy haunts with plenty of room to relax.

I'll also concur with the guys who recommend against having multiple girls hanging around all the time. You won't be able to leave them unsupervised, so one of you will always have to chaperone. Pattaya is a compact beach town with plenty of things to keep you amused day and night, by yourselves or with company. If you hunker down in a villa or some other lodging you'll miss out. Far better, it seems to me, to make the rounds of the places discussed at great length in this forum. If you find somebody you fancy, it won't take long to duck out to your hotel. (Or even to take care of business on site.) Rinse and repeat, taking breaks as necessary for father-and-son time, meals, hanging out on the beach, etc.

That happened in the UK? Seems there are Farangs falling and / or jumping from balconies weekly in Thailand! No parachute required!

[Forty Drinks]

Maybe it was DECADES ago, but yes, now days security will photocopy their ID and send it to surrounding hotels. They will be black listed.

Seems to me lots of Thais came out ahead. LOL. Hahaha.

Even the Coppers shared in the Spoils.

I'm surprised our Friend X hasnt run into similar Situations.

[KumuMan]

What hotel was this? What bar are the girls from? Based on my mongering in thailand and other places, this story doesn't make much sense.

1. Security at any hotel has all of their IDs, or a copy of it, at reception. Any woman stealing, breaking things, etc. could get banned from the hotel. Causing damage is grounds for a ban. An Airbnb is different, but youre saying its a 5 star hotel.

2. Unless these are random freelancers, no WGs who works at a bar is going to risk stealing and breaking things, as there would be a long line of angry customers complaining to the bar and mamasan the very next day. Even if they were freelancers, everyone knows freelancers go to their same favorite spots, so if they were known thieves, they would be confronted with angry clients they just stole from.

3. Most WGs do not get drunk, there is barely any alcohol in lady drinks.

4. Prostitution is technically illegal in Thailand. Theres nothing the cops could do from the WGs claiming they didnt get paid standpoint. Thats a personal dispute.

I've heard plenty of stories of Dominicans and Columbians stealing. But I have never heard of Thai bar girls stealing and damaging property at a 5 star hotel to where the police are called. Ive stayed at plenty of 5 star suites, nothing is worth stealing.

4. Do you have a link to the Thai Penal or Criminal Code stating that prostitution is technically illegal in Thailand?

I can't speak for what might have changed recently. But the assertion that prostitution is illegal in Thailand comes up every now and then, I question it and provide the links to the above that to my reading never say a word about a consensual act of prostitution between adults age 18 or above being illegal in Thailand and so far I have not seen a citation stating otherwise.

However, as I allowed, I could certainly be wrong about that if some new spin on the law has been added recently.

The Code does state forcing someone to engage in prostitution is illegal. As is someone other than the prostitute raking off money for it, such as a pimp, a boss, parent, boyfriend, husband or other authority figure who might have applied undue coercion to engage in prostitution. And, of course, engaging in it with someone under age 18. Also, creating a public nuisance out of pitching a P4 P exchange, like when the sidewalks get so full of street girls that happily married couples and church ladies can't wade through them comfortably to get to their hotels and drinking bars.

But the mere act of consenting adults paying and accepting money for sex? I have not yet seen that in a Thai Penal / Criminal Code nor have I read or seen any report of anyone getting arrested and charged with a crime for doing it in Thailand.
