Pattaya Reports

[SubCmdr]

During my entire time posted up in Pattaya, Thailand, I have never had a local Thai person suggest Pier 21 as a regular dining option beyond my second month visiting Pattaya!

"While Terminal 21 in Pattaya hosts a highly rated food court with affordable options (typically 3060 THB per dish), several other locations offer superior variety, quality, or value depending on your preferences.

Alternative Mall Food Courts If you prefer the air-conditioned, predictable environment of a mall food court but want different styles or prices, consider:

Central Festival Pattaya: The basement-level food court offers a similar format to Terminal 21 but with slightly higher prices (60120 THB per dish) and a wider selection of standalone restaurants like Fuji and MK Suki.

Avenue Mall: Located near Pattaya Central, this food court is noted for being extremely cheap, with filling dishes available for around 50 THB, and it maintains clean facilities.

Higher Quality or Unique Dining Experiences For meals that exceed the standard food court fare in quality or ambiance:

Edge at Hilton Pattaya: Offers a full dinner menu with ocean views and a slightly less formal setting than the adjacent Horizon Bar, providing better quality than typical mall eateries.

Jomtien Beach Road: Features several night markets and local Thai restaurants that provide fresh seafood and traditional dishes at lower costs than central Pattaya malls.

Soi Buakhao: This area has the highest concentration of mid-range restaurants in Pattaya, offering better value and quality for those willing to dine outside of mall complexes.

Terminal 21 Internal Restaurants: Within Terminal 21 itself, restaurants like Arno's (steakhouse) and Hachicken Ramen (Japanese chain, starting at 99 THB) offer higher quality options than the food court stalls."

I've personally eaten a most of the locations above and they are FAR superior to Pier 21 in my opinion.

Local Thais absolutely love this place.

Good Authentic Thai food and International dishes, affordable prices, clean dining.

[SubCmdr]

The Airplane market next to Soi 6 is a better food option if you are looking for an authentic street food environment.

Many venders show up in from of Central Marina in the late afternoon / evening.

Zaab High is a restaurant that specializes in ISAN cuisine.

The Cmdr shares a story.

I am not getting down on anyone. I am speaking from personal experience. When I was wheels down in Pattaya and everyone was calling me a tourist. I was. I was in Terminal 21 so much a solid month it was like a lived there. It was close to where I stated and my girl would take me to eat there (Pier 21) because it was easy. But then later on in our relationship she started cooking for me. Then she started to show me other Thai Food restaurants, Street Venders and night markets. That is when I learned what real Thai Food tasted like. The occasion came where we found ourselves in Terminal 21 and we went to Pier 21 again. I ordered the same favorite dishes I had always order. Ed But this time it had absolutely no taste. It did not taste like the dishes that I ordered or she would be prepared for me.

So, if Pier 21 is your only option because you are hungry, just realize your are eating the farang version of Thai Food. Not real Thai Food. The advantages are that is, right there in Terminal 21, sanitary and cheap. But tasty? Not so much for the more refined pallet of The Cmdr.

Thanks for the enlightenment! I know there are no free lunches but paying 300* -350 for a curtain enclosure is pretty steep I reckon. Can understand for room.

300-350 (All prices in THB) is market price for a curtain. 1000 just to get your dick sucked is above market rate of 500 - 800. Hell the places I go in Bangkok to get my dick sucked are 800 - 1000 including the curtain inclosure or room.

If the curtain is too pricy for you try Lipps Lounge next time. 500 to get your dick sucked to completion with cum in mouth. No curtain required. Happens right out in the open.

Holla!

Pier 21 Food Court has some of the best selection of food options in Pattaya. Not pricey either. Just load your card and get busy.

IMHO food courts like this are the worst option in Thailand. In this case most of the restaurants in Terminal 21 are a much better option, and often less expensive than you might expect.
But if you want it cheap, you can go to Took Lae Dee for example. You will get much better food than in Pier 21.
It's all the way at the back of level M in Terminal 21, right next to the Foodland supermarket.

1000 baht for a BJ and 350 for curtain enclosure.

You're saying it was expensive, how much did you pay? These gentlemen clubs are supposed to be some of the cheapest options in Pattaya.

Depends upon the venue.

Excite: Curtain 300/ Room 400.

Honey Lounge: No fee for curtain; Included in Service Price.

Club Fate: 300 for curtain; Can't remember price for room;.

Lips Lounge: No curtain; You get your dick sucked right out in the open after buying a lady drink. 500 for CIM finish.

Service prices differ in all those venues also. From 500 - 1000.

For comparison

You are going to pay 300 - 400 for a oil massage in order to get a room. The massage girl is going to ask a service fee of 700 - 1200 depending upon the services she is willing to provide you.

Soi 6: you are going to pay 400 - 600 for a short time room.

There is no free dick suck or pussy!

All prices in THB.

Great summary report, Bunky. I'm sure that more than just Stl24 benefited from your post.

I've only spent a few days in Pattaya and was about to contribute about Soi 6 starting early and Walking street starting late. You covered that and a whole lot more.

The only thing I can contribute is that I was able to bring two young Soi 6 girls to my hotel together without paying any bar fine. That was because they both worked the early shift and their shifts were ending when I was ready to leave, perhaps that was 9 or 10 PM. Memorable for me because it was my only lifetime Thai-three-some.

Tell us about it. How much did it cost you and for how long? Did the girls play with each other. Did they come in to you together when you met? Did one rim you as the other BBBJCIM?

Thanks!

Pier 21 Food Court is good for individuals who don't know what Thai Food should taste like.

Pier 21 Food Court has some of the best selection of food options in Pattaya. Not pricey either. Just load your card and get busy.

This is food for farang visitiors] who do not know what real Thai Food tastes like. Everything and I do mean Everything in the Pier 21 food court is sub par compared to a real Thai Restaurant, Ordering off of Grab, or even an average street vendor.

The Cmdr's Favorite Thai Restaurant in Pattaya:

Dang Dum Pattaya Restaurant Pattaya.

I have a meal here then find a sexy massage girl in one of the nearby shops. Get a massage and my dick sucked 1000 THB.

Loved the overall experience but on the expensive side.

WHERE TO STAY: Just my two satangs worth, ...

Thank you for all the info. I am totally fine with partaking at their establishment to be honest. The visit back to my hotel was just a thought but I'm good with partaking of their skills at the club or bar etc. My fault on that, I should have been a little more detailed. That being said, the earlier the better if only because I could then have two visits (one earlier in the afternoon then one before bed). Thanks again for the info. Cheers mate!

WHERE TO STAY: Just my two satangs worth, but the lodging near Soi 6 is too far north and the lodging near Walking Street is too far south. Stay in the central area of town and you'll be in the middle of everything a naughty boy might need during one perfect night in Pattaya. Google "Pattaya Central Festival," which is a big shopping complex on the west side of Second Rd. Between Soi 10 and Soi 9 Alley. Stay within 500 meters of there. The Areca Lodge is super popular for a reason. Any of the hotels in the "LK" chain will be fine. I often recommend the Whitehouse Condotel on Soi 13 for first time visitors.

PLAN OF ATTACK: I see where the original poster is interested in: (1) a short time session; (2) at his hotel; (3) in the early evening. Heavy lift. Walking Street doesn't even begin to get going until 9:00, and it will be 10:00 before the go go clubs are hitting on all eight. Soi 6 will have a decent selection of girls in the early evening, but Khun 24 should be aware that the bars *HATE* it when punters try to take them off site. Some bars ban STs entirely, some insist on crazy bar fines and/or drink minimums and some girls will just flat out refuse. It might be possible to find freelancers on Beach Rd. in the early evening. But the selection will be very limited. He'll be able to find girls in some beer bars. But again, they'll be few and far between. If he absolutely insists on an early evening session in his room, his best bet is probably Thai Friendly.

ALTERNATIVES: In my judgment, the best place for an early evening session is a gentlemans club. There at at least half a dozen on Soi Bong Koch 8, and an equal number on the south side near Pratumnak and scattered around Jomtien. They all get going right after lunch, and reach full song about 5:00 pm. Finally, there are several GCs on Soi Boomerang. But I don't know what time they open for business.

I will be in Pattaya for one night only and am trying to decide where to stay. I'm thinking near Soi 6 or Walking Street. Mainly going to see a few of the sites while partaking in our favorite activity in the early evening. From what I've read, Soi 6 area seems like what I'm looking for (preferably street walker that can come back to my hotel).

Thanks for the tips fellas I really appreciate it! I will certainly report back.

- If I were you for this period of time skip walking st. It is WAY over priced and way too many people and idiots down there.

Stick to Soi 6. The action there will be in-house only. You don't want to take a girl from Soi 6 all gymnastics are done in the bar upstairs.

Stay at one of these 3 depending on your budget. I always like staying close to beach Road. If you go away from that area it gets cheaper.

Enjoy, please report back.

Street walkers are on Beach Road from Soi 10 (a 20 minute walk from Soi 6) to Walking Street. You will also find them in front of the hotels that most Indians stay at on Second Road near Soi Yensabai.
