First time BKK - Logistics question

[Tlito]

Thanks Snake…
Yes I will probably head straight for Pattaya it is always fun..stay at discovery nice and close and on Soi 6 so not far from lots of action…my last taxi driver from Pattaya to airport kept falling asleep was a scary ride…
Any easy tips for pass and news on testing would be appreciated …
Also insurance tips…I always get insurance any way but just a bit more careful now…

[OLD SNAKE]

Tilto great question on travel insurance www.smartraveller.gov.au › CHOICE-travel-insu.... :www.thaiembassy.com › travel-to-thailand › cov....webloc
but also read up on www.homeaffairs.gov.au entering and exiting Australia

Ive used Australian Post for Travel Insurance, because the credit cards i have are in the company name and not personal, so i don't get the complimentary travel insurance from them.
also i would be sneaky and keep a few negative reading RAT in the pocket, just incase you do catch something, but i read up testing did cost around $160 at the airport in Thailand before,

Thanks heaps for the advice Snake

Glad i can help Tilto,
but you know the rules are always changing, so stay up to date,

Years ago I remember seeing an ad from a gogo club regarding transportation from the airport to Pattaya. It was a van with a bed, drinks etc and a girl.

Talk about changing…was going to book flights for June from Brisbane to Bangkok 2 days ago….plenty of direct flights …
850 dollars now today no direct flights and the cheapest is 1450 dollars …
Every man and his dog has the same idea I think…
I now have to fly from Gold Coast to Melbourne to Bangkok…
Don’t wait if you are thinking of getting tickets ….they will be thousands …

Yes I have seen this service somewhere too…I might spoil myself…
Might be the last time I can get away for a while and the world is a weird place so going to write a list of things I have never done and try them all …
First has something to do with a ladyboy who hassled me relentlessly last trip in Soi 6/1 Pattaya….

[OLD SNAKE]

Tilto as soon as you have got your plane ticket book your accommodations too, they will also increase in price,

i have a funny story about ladyboys, i was walking along the Beach Walk path heading north away from walking street and towards the end came across 2 ladyboys who didn't speak but gave me the sucky sucky signal, i just shook my head and kept going, on the way back there was a commotion police where everywhere, apparently they robbed and bashed a tourist who fell for their bait, that's why its wise to stay away from ladyboys as they do drug and rob a lot of tourist, better off finding a Thai girl that does anal.

Thanks for all the tips, here is my after report

Good report. Thank you.

I am now in Bangkok. Last night some mates and I hit the bars and we had a good time. Today I went to Tulip Massage at Thong Lor. Don’t let the appearance of the shop put you off. The older lady that I picked, certainly knew what she was doing. My friend has recommended the PSE here but today I didn’t go for it. The MLs and WLs in Bangkok and Pattaya have had very lean times so they are very very keen and are very service oriented. In contrast the ladies in Australia have had it good for a while so one needs to be picky.

[OLD SNAKE]

lookha don't forget to post a budget report on what you are spending money on, and just in general the cost of tings, a lot of us will be over there in less than a month

[Lookha]

Will do.

Some other must do’s. “Addicts massage” near Sukhumvit 24 is terrific. Proper rooms and bath. The massage shops on the same streets are excellent, the girls are very cute and are greatly wanting to please the customer.

Last night, after an active day, where I skipped the massage, I was wanting a straight massage on either Sukhumvit Soi 22 or Sukhumvit Soi 23. I asked a few cute ladies sitting at the front of the shops but they would not do just a straight massage. They make their money only on hand jobs and FS. When negotiating for body to body, make sure that it’s not just a titty rub. It’s a buyers market here at the moment.

I always stay around the Asok BTS. It’s close to the Soi Cowboy Bar area, the Nana Plaza area (quite a few bars are now open in Nana), close to massage areas and even Patpong if you are interested in seeing something of the past.

Most hotels will politely check the ID of your visitor …they say for your security. Talk with the desk manager about procol. It’s normally the night time baggage guys at the front who do the stopping and directing. Get on good terms with them.

A web site that you might look at is called Pattaya Addicts. It has some similarity with Ausforum and it also covers Bangkok. You have to do some navigation to get into the right areas.

Last night, after a big night the day before, and a big day yesterday, I went to a restaurant on Sukhumvit called Penalty Spot. Standard restaurant with a average band. There were some cute ladies together. They are pickups based at the restaurants…take away service. Of course for the younger punters, there are excellent short term opportunities on the dating websites here.

thanks for the good feedback LooKha

Last night at Rainbow at Nana Plaza, 2 girls said they would go with me together. Bar fine would be 700 each plus 3000 each for short time. They also said no condom. I passed and went somewhere else. Then I went to Whiskey A Go Go…. left because the girls were not relaxed and a bit up-front…but they were very cute. Then went to a bar on Soi Cowboy that had a very good rock band. All good. Two bars at each end of Cowboy have good rock bands. One of these has good WLs.

No condom? They must be desperate. While you passed, imagine how many other guys would have taken up their offer. Were the girls offering double lesbian show?

[Lookha]

ive been many times on my own and im actually in Pattaya right now on my own, mates from Sydney flew home last week, going to Bangkok on Tuesday on my own. you can go into any bar and its easy to meet people when your with a few mates it can be hard to leave certain bars as some guys want to stay and some want to go to other bars. definitely a safe place to go on your own
