Well I've finnaly made up my mind where I'm headed this summer...and the winner is Pattaya. I HAVE to go here, not more F'ing around, Land of Smiles here i cum. Harold J did you stop here on your last visit? Cheng Ho you been here yet? I think well spend a couple of days in Bangkok and the Nana plaza, Clinton plaza, Soi Cowboy and maybe Patong and then head to Pattaya.

Been there. Don't really care for it. Too many drugs, too dirty and WAY too many ladyboys.

Harry, so you think i could get my fill just limiting my partying to Bangkok? and the above mentioned Bangkok hangouts? It would make things easier.

How long will you be in Thailand? BKK has much to offer. Depending on how long you'll be there and your M.O., you may just have to get away. Pattaya is close enough to offer a change of scenery.

Pattaya is only 2 hrs away from BKK. Some love it, some hate it, I suggest you make up your own mind. Your budget can go a lot further there than in BKK if that is an issue for you. I think you meant Patpong not Patong??? Yes, you can definately "get your fill" and then some, in BKK. When are you going and for how long? New, free board for info on Thailand, www.nanapong.com it has hotel, bar and restaurant reviews. Very good info and the price is right.

I just got back from one beautiful month in Thailand and I have to say that, for me, Pattaya cannot be beat. I spent the last 2 weeks of my trip there and did not want to leave.

I have read the mixed reviews and wondered what the hell I would find there. My feelings about the place were ambivalent for the first few days. After I met up with some real veterans of the scene and found out about all of the best places I became a true Pattaya convert.

When I returned to Bangkok for the last 2 days before my flight it just couldn't compare. Although Pattaya is a small beach town, it must have 100 times the women. Beer bars, go go clubs, massage houses, and discos are all over the place. In Bangkok, these venues are distributed in four distinct areas: Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy, Clinton Plaza, and Patpong.

Bangkok prices are about twice as high as Pattaya and I found a higher concentration of truly beautiful women in Patty, as well (after I learned where to look.)

If any of you are in Bangkok and are unsure about Pattaya, all I can say is, go and give it a chance for a few days. An air-conditioned bus cost my only 90 baht (about $2.00) and it's a 2-3 hour drive, depending on traffic.

Now that prices have gone up again in Bangkok (in the last 2 weeks) I just can't see spending much time there when there is so much waiting for me down South. The only thing that really draws me to Bangkok is the Eden Club.

Now a days I think little rush has increased in Pattaya. I could not got hotel room for a night in all the rooms selected from net. About 2 hours lost in finding hotel. Then I got in Hotel President in Soi 8 at night 9:00 pm. Hotel is OK with carpeted room 600 baht.

The haut was quite boring in Go Gos & Bars. At night found one beautiful girl in SOI8. Played the colour game & win mostly. When asked to take him to hotel, she agreed first but went with friend and refused afterward. Took her friend (who was not comparable) who told me first that she is on monthly periods. After reaching to the rooms she told that that girl was ladyboy. I can't belive it.

However I was quite bored with the night outcome & already lost mood. Have a round of sex with this one, kiss was very warm (never got so enthustic kiss from thai girl) sex was OK. This girl was a new to Pattaya. Even she did not had condom (saying farangs never use this so she didn't kept but worried if I am an HIV). This off the mood further. She wanted me to take to shows in the late night but I was off. She took shower & then got slept. I let her slept & push her out next morning. Yahh I paid her as agreed & the tip also even no service.

So guys the night was spoiled due to improper planning. Hope to plan next night stay at Pattaya properly.
