Pattaya Reports

[Mosquito2002]

This will be in a couple of parts / series, as doing this as time permits.

1st. General Logistics, Opinions and Observations. Bars and Ladies Specifics to Follow.

Issan Flt to BBK via ThaiAirways. 1st Leg delayed 50 minutes which caused my arranged taxi to Pattaya to be maybe 15 minutes late picking me up (don't ask why).

Used Mr. Taxi, 1200 baht from airport to Pattaya Soi 10 Sea Me Springs To hotel (tolls included in cost), same cost for return trip. Have been using Mr. Taxi for the past 3 visits to Pattaya, not the cheapest. But reliable with both legs being in a semi-new Camry.

Sea Me Springs To on Soi 10,10,200 baht for 4 nights. Great location and decent hotel, good service staff.

Pattaya was packed with Falangs, but bars weren't very busy during my stay. Asked a couple of bar managers and they confirmed unusually low customer count for this time of year.

Got hit with 2 evening down pours where the streets got flooded, and weather was warmer than I expected.

Just my observations and opinion, so for what it's worth.

- Go-Go Ladies English lacking, see if this makes sense. Years ago most of the Go-Go girls English was decent, my conclusion being previously girls would start off at beer bars then work their way in to the Go-Go scene. Now, they just jump into the highest paying job.

- Lot more mixed race ladies working the bars, not a bad thing.

- Seen this tip on a Youtube video on Soi 6, found it to be true. On Soi 6, I normally pick the girl. Video tip recommended you let the lady pick you or at least show some interest in you. Being over 60 years old and ugly by Thai standards found this tip handy in having a more fun interaction with the lady and there was always 1 poor hottie that would show interest in me.

- Soi 6 Tequila Shots. Some bars have these shot serving wire heart, wire tree and basic serving tray. Wire heart 2000 baht, tree 10 k, big serving tray 5 k and a smaller serving tray for under 1 k baht.

Bunch of guy were buying the 1 k tray and only saw 1 guy buy a 2 k heart.

- Between Soi 7 and Soi 8 Beach Road still smells like a sewer, brings back memories from 30 years ago on every visit.

- Beer Bars. I like beer bars for a relaxing drink and a game of pool. What happened to very beer bar having at least one or two hotties working (again, what I consider hot), beer bars were a disappointment.

- Visited Honey 1 and 2, along with Sabai Dee. Thought Honey 2 had the best looking ladies, did two sessions there. Oh, Naru Oil Massage isn't worth the additional cost IMO, 1 time maybe for the experience.

- Always as for ladies age with Thai ID proof. Crazy, one lady who I thought might be under age was 25 years old and another lady on Soi 6 who I thought was in her mid-twenties was turning 40 this year.

- Regular at Tahitian Queen on Beach Road for over 30 years. Love the music and relaxed atmosphere. Was a bit disappointed in the selection of ladies on both the day and nightshift. However, still love the place for a cold beer and old fashion rock and roll.

- Beach Road. Walked Beach Road on 3 out of the 4 nights (9 pm, 1 am and 4 am). There maybe diamonds out there, but I didn't see any.

Next Part. Will cover Bars, Gent Club (singular, as I only visited Heaven Above twice), Soi 6 and Go-Gos (1 on Soi 6, TQ and 3 on Walking Street).

It looks like in Bangkok and Pattaya, maybe 50% of the girls will agree to BBFS only if I promise an extra 15-30% tip. The other 50% just won't go for it at any reasonable rate. Is that aligned with your experiences?

Thats about right, though the tip amount can be zero or high enough to approach insanity. Last night my girl's BBFSCIP tip was zero, but a few days ago another girl's BBFSCIP added fee more than doubled the cost. Occasionally I find a girl who is so seductive that I don't care about a couple thousand extra baht.

Pre approval of BBFSCIP is standard for me.

[MrHappyKat]

I'm sure many would like the area, for me it's just not worth it, but maybe it's because I'm already a Pattaya veteran used to getting hands on in the bar and won't go for anything less than a BBFS.

About BBFS in Pattaya (and by extension BKK):

New to Thailand but not at all new to mongering. I've done 2 month-long trips to Angeles City, mostly for the BBFS options which I consider a must-have for any session. Overall, been in the game for well over 30 years. Mostly in Europe, South America, Caribbean, China, Singapore, and of course, the US.

In the Philippines, I found that most (maybe 80%) of the bar girls and 90% of the street and app freelancers (definitely NOT Ladyboys which I avoid) will agree to BBFS without pushing for more money.

It looks like in Bangkok and Pattaya, maybe 50% of the girls will agree to BBFS only if I promise an extra 15-30% tip. The other 50% just won't go for it at any reasonable rate. Is that aligned with your experiences?

Can you please help me understand what you look for in a bar girl, freelancer, massage, and GC girl that make them more likely to agree? Probably should note that I am 63,6-feet tall, and fat at 300 lbs. But girls say I have a nice / friendly / respectful personality and in the PH many of my girls asked for repeats often. So I'm not able to rely on youth and fitness to get what I want. LOL.

Thanks for any advice you care to provide.

And if you have any plans to visit the Philippines, I'm happy to help you out.

Thanks!

Sriracha has an area (especially one soi) right in front of the Phyathai Hospital with a lot of what they call "Japanese Snack" bars. The busiest Soi in these has maybe 20 of these bars full of girls in the evening that will grab men passing by. The area is totally intended for Japanese customers but as a white farang I was still fairly well accepted. As expected, the ladies are more the type the Asian guys would like, don't expect to see big ass tanned tattooed anal girls, the type you find there is more innocent / cute and probably a lot more starfishy than the farang oriented ones.

Great report! Well written and providing solid information about an option that's off the beaten path. Kudos.

[Mr Enternational]

We need more reports of places in Sriracha. You may wonder what's the point, but a lazy ass like me likes to stick around in his neighborhood. There are loads of massage places and bars here, so I'm wondering if anyone's ever bothered to try them out. I realize it's nothing like Pattaya, but it's got to be worth tapping into. Haven't found anything to read about though.

If that is the case, then shouldn't you be the one doing the reports? Why wait for somebody else's reports when you are right there with boots on the ground, know where the places are, and can be trying them out and reporting on them yourself. You can not be serious right now. I know that you said that you are lazy, but there can not be that much lazy in the world.

The venues are all closed doors, unlike Soi 6. Once you're in the Mamasan will get you seated (mostly sofas) downstairs or you can get a private room upstairs (no sex allowed there, just a closed karaoke room), then she will bring in all the available ladies for you to choose from.

Lady drinks also work very different from Pattaya, you pay for the lady's company (like 400 b / hour if I remember) plus a bucket of beer, and she can drink from your beer. The glasses she drinks are also charged in a lousy / inaccurate way. At the end they'll figure out how many glasses she had and write in a paper the amount you have to pay. It's not too expensive but if you're expecting the same transparency you get in Pattaya you'll feel disappointed.

Short times do not happen inside the premises but they are available, one lady quoted 3000 b and it would be in a nearby room somewhere on the street. She was cute but I wasn't really aroused so I didn't go. Compared to a GC in Pattaya they're super tame and most will just sit by your side doing nothing.

I'm sure many would like the area, for me it's just not worth it, but maybe it's because I'm already a Pattaya veteran used to getting hands on in the bar and won't go for anything less than a BBFS.

A CUTE 7. 00.

Her prices were not out of line.

Sorry for the late reply, but, um, well, the place a corner away from them offer 1600 for B2 be and full sex, so you're wrong. Again, over +2000 for 5 minutes of titty rubbing and ass grabbing when you can get laid for less than that, no thanks.

[WildInstincts]

50,000 Baht for food, mongering and transportation is for sure doable. However, for Pattaya, you can eat through that so fast. It is easy for beginners to get carried away and blow through their budget in a day or two. Why? Because they are overwhelmed. For an expat who lives here, it won't be an issue. The original OP has never been to Thailand and also has never been to anywhere. I have witnessed experienced guys with a 10 K baht per day budget blow through 80% of it in 1 or 2 nights and then they fucked the rest of their vacation.

Now for your situation in Pattaya, 5 k baht per day is not enough to have a good time in my opinion for a guy on holiday. Secondly, you better have some reserve cash for emergencies. One hospital stay will cook your budget. I hope you have travel insurance to eliminate that danger too. I forgot to mention that in my original post. I would double my daily budget and reduce your stay to 5 days, but it is too late for that now. You would have had way more fun. That being said, if you watch your money and stay away from lady drinks you will be fine. Who wants to go on vacation in Pattaya and worry about money? Please take care of yourself and watch the funds. Especially, if it's your first time. Stick to gents clubs, beach road and FLs on Thai Friendly if you have the patience and keep your money safe in the hotel safe.

Totally agree with you. For a short time visitor, 5 K per day isn't enough to enjoy his holiday in Pattaya. If you are on a 10 days holiday and can't really get what you want, it is better to go on a 5 days holiday with the same budget and do what you want to do. But again, to each their own!!

(Not OP).

I'm flying in later today. I've read through hundreds of reports and guides, and this one was particularly beginner friendly and realistic.

So, thank you!

Your budget requirements seemed v high. 10 k / day after all bookings sounds a lot to me. I've planned for 5 k / day (total trip is 10 days). Let's see.

I would say this might depend a bit too on the person. My last trip to BKK, I worked mostly during the day till nearly midnight due to time difference and would venture out after midnight to find a FL near Nana or go to a Gogo, and then visit a soapy in the morning half. That was my weekdays. Soapy+ FL usually was 4/5 k or less, soapy+gogo+FL was like 5/6 k and weekends I used to do whole day mongering so that used to be like 10-15 k range on occasion. Not taking into consideration food and booze as that would widely vary for all.

[MeethaPaan]

Great advice. It's my first Thailand trip as well, but I'm not inexperienced with mongering. I'll just keep the cash in hotel's safe so that I don't blow it all hahaha. Take out 5-7 k, walk out. Easier that way I guess.

Since it's my first visit, I'm going to do a lot of touristy things as well, because hey, I have got the time. Thanks for the heads up on the travel insurance, already purchased a good cover. Emergency cash is sorted via ATM card, and another 20-30 k shouldn't break my back. Anywayy, we'll see. Who wants to go on vacation in Pattaya and worry about money?

My plan includes watching the 89 show, MPs on Soi Honey, Walking street / Soi 6 etc for Pattaya. I have a fair few other things planned for BKK. I'll be checking here often, so if you'd like to recommend any particular MP / Girl / Bar / Touristy thingy (apart from the ones you mentioned), please do, I'll check them out.

On my way to the airport!

I am going to give you some good info. What I won't do is babysit you by giving you costs in Indian currency. Do the math by yourself.


Where to meet girls for fun. I would not suggest meeting freelancers on Thai Friendly. You will waste too much precious time. And don't contact girls before you come. Those advance plans won't work out when you arrive. Meet girls on beach road, gentlemen clubs and bars in Tree Town, Soi Buakao, Soi Pothole, Myth bar complex, Las Vegas beer complex, and Soi Boomerang.

Beach road freelancers usually start at 1000 Baht for ST. Maybe 700 baht if you are lucky. Take them to a short time room. Do not carry a lot of money with you. Just enough to pay them, pay for the ST room and enough to get you to and from your hotel. I am scared you will get ripped off. Most girls are ok, but some are not. Stay away from the girls who are not Thai as they will generally ask for a little more money and are not always trustworthy. Do not pay before. Pay after you fuck!

Next, beer bars. Beer bars are good places as they are very laid back. Customer drinks are around 60 Baht to 100 baht and lady drinks are 130-160 baht. Bar fine around 500 baht and ST is around 1000 baht. The ST room will be around 300 baht. Stay away from soi 6. You will be bombarded with lady drink requests and you will also be too overwhelmed. If you decide to go, stick to your budget.

Gents clubs are the best option for you. Drinks are all similar to the beer bars, but they have rooms above the bar. ST 1000 Baht, room 300-400 baht. Very relaxed atmosphere.

[MaxDon]

Great advice and its definitely helpful for not only this guy but all first timers / new comers. Hope its okay to add some more India specific tips here. As I think they might come in handy for this fella and any fellow Indians.

1. Get a Forex card in advance. They have a 225 baht per transaction charge but pretty much work like a regular ATM card. Get one with lower markup rates. Do not use your domestic debit card, some might work but markup charges are too much and do not take out cash using your credit card.

2. Book a cab in advance if you feel getting one from airport or outside is too much of a hassle, I prefer nam's cabs but there are tons of options.

3. Get some dollars in your pocket from India. There is a 20 k baht rule for tourists but one that is hardly or ever enforced but if its your first time outside of India and you look like a deer caught in the headlights, you don't want to be the unlucky odd man out. Also, you will get much better exchange rates for Dollars to baht compared to Rupees to Baht.

4. I prefer an e-sim to the physical ones so I don't have to keep my regular sim out, might be a bit expensive but worth hassle of not losing the original sim. Also different, mobile operators have different international roaming rules so check tht for yourself before leaving India.

4. Do not stare at WGs as if they are a display unit in some tv shop. Sounds rude but this is something I have seen my countrymen do and it really creeps everyone out. If you like someone, smile nod strike a conversation but ffs do not blankly stare!

5. Do not overplan your trip. Get a cab, check in, rest and then roam around and see what catches your fancy!

Happy mongering.

I am going to give you some good info. What I won't do is babysit you by giving you costs in Indian currency. Do the math by yourself. Also please don't send me a private message, as I won't reply. Read through the forum to fill in the blanks.

Next, do not listen to this guy.

Ok here goes. As a first time traveller and making Pattaya your first visit, it will be very overwhelming and the costs will probably be more than you have planned in your head. Therefore, come for a long weekend only. This means 4 days including travel time. Fly into Suvarnabhumi Airport, as it is a lot closer to Pattaya than Don Muang. Take a taxi from the normal taxi stand. It will cost about 1500 baht roughly..
