We agreed that we’d be checking out at noon and grabbing a taxi to catch the bus to Pattaya instead of hauling our luggage the 4 or so blocks to Sky Train, though Epi did try one last time to convince me to take a taxi directly to the hotel in Pattaya. To save more than 1,000 baht between us, I told him that the bus was easily the best option. I went back upstairs to pack up and then headed out to use the ATM before we left.
Even simply leaving the air conditioned Dynasty Inn and walking the 5 or so blocks to the ATM and back got me quite sticky from the pre-noon heat and humidity. While it was hot and sticky in the Philippines in July as well, the heat in Bangkok was worse, but with all the delights offered in either place, it certainly beat the hell out of WORKING back in the world and then returning home and WATCHING TV!!! In fact I don’t think I ended up watching more than 3-4 hours of TV the entire 23 days I was in SE Asia, and THAT was when I had just gotten laid and needed a little something to do with a long time girl before falling asleep. My advice, like the advice many others gave about the heat and the ‘rainy season’: If you like getting laid by young pretty girls, there is probably never a BAD time to go to SE Asia!
Epi and I checked out of Dynasty just a little after noon (only extra charge was LT girl’s breakfast while I was out getting ‘massaged’) and grabbed a taxi for the Ekkamai bus station to catch the bus to Pattaya. While not quite as cheap or probably fast as Skytrain, it still cost us little more than a dollar. We got 90 baht tickets for the air con direct bus to Pattaya and waited about 15 minutes or so for the next bus and loaded our luggage in the storage area below the bus. Epi would complain that the seats were rather small, and since they were covered with vinyl or something it wasn’t hard to break a sweat despite decent air conditioning on the bus. While it took forever to get out of Bangkok, once we got on the expressway, everything went very smoothly, and the time between leaving the hotel and arriving at the hotel in Pattaya took just slightly over three hours. I would HIGHLY recommend this bus as a cheap and still convenient way to get to Pattaya.
Upon arrival in Pattaya, a baht bus driver agreed to take us to Sabai Lodge on Soi 2 off of Second Road for 80 baht for the both of us, and 5 minutes later we were there checking in. Sabai Lodge was a decent hotel for the price and location. My room was decent sized and decently appointed for 840 baht, as guest friendly as can be, nice pool, nice restaurant (good food at very reasonable price) with both Western and Thai food (open 7-midnight) right next door, a good 40 beer bars and the two Sabai soapy palaces within 3 blocks walk. The beach was a block away. I’d highly recommend Sabai Lodge.
The negatives: Room smelled slightly musty, though Epi said that might be expected being a block from the beach and in an area with high humidity. Also, the power in the room depended on the key being inserted, so the A/C couldn’t remain running if you weren’t inside the room. It always seemed to cool off very quickly, however, and wasn’t much of an inconvenience. And finally, there was no in-room safe, and as at Dynasty in Bangkok, I had to use the safe deposit box in the lobby for my documents and return tickets, etc.
After checking in, the first order of business that Tuesday afternoon was to get something to eat, and I kind of had a hankering for Pizza Hut across the street so that’s where we ended up. As I have found to be the case in SE Asia and Mexico both, pizza is severely lacking in tomato sauce. As in Mexico, they had catsup available on the table. YUCK! Sitting at a booth behind us as we ate were a couple of (a guess from overhearing the conversation) German guys, one huge and bald and neither wearing shirts of any kind. The big ugly fucker had a very prominent tattoo on his arm. I would see what looked like 50 clones later that evening in the beer bars, sitting around in groups, no girls in sight, shirts off, just drinking BEER. Seeing all of this, I don’t think the US has anything to worry about from a unified Euro economy, and I was kind of glad the English pro soccer teams that were in SE Asia that week weren’t playing for a couple of days…
After that we dropped our laundry a block away at a little place on Soi 3 around the corner from SabaiLand massage (200 baht for about 10 days worth of clothes. MUCH better than the Bangkok price lists) and I jumped into the pool to cool off before taking a nap while Epi tried to connect with an old friend of his. I had finished taking my antibiotics upon arriving in Bangkok, and got nervous as I was starting to feel under the weather again and feeling the tickle in my throat come back. And as had been the case for much of my trip, a girl in my bed overnight the night before hadn’t been conducive to getting sufficient sleep.
So when I ended up getting my preferred 3 ½ hours sleep for a LONG nap, I woke up pretty happy and showered and waited for Epi to stop by or call so we could head out and see the much anticipated Pattaya nightlife. But after not hearing from him by 10 PM, I decided to go get something to eat to calm the acid that was building in my stomach again and look around for awhile. I was bummed a bit that I had no way of contacting Epi as I still didn’t have have his Thai cell number.
On the way back to the corner to look for something to eat, I passed several beer bars and the large beer garden on the corner of Soi 2 and Second Road, as well as Classroom 2 go go where I’d spend a little time over the next few days. The number of women just standing around in the beer bars screaming for you to come in was quite overwhelming, and I was a little sad at the fact that I needed to eat first and couldn’t just plunge into the sea of eager beauties. But it boggled my mind that I could probably have a GREAT time with just about ANY girl in any of these places and that each of these little places represented only a single grain of sand in the whole Pattaya scene. That overwhelmed me a bit, and I kicked myself a little that we would only be here for two more nights.
I crossed the street and made a pass through the big mall there and was pretty damned impressed by the sheer size of the place. But the grocery store there just blew me away. It was just like a mega supermarket in the US with everything from fresh deli meats to 20 choices of cleaning products. Was this really the 3rd world?
I ended up eating at KFC as I wanted something familiar to eat as my stomach was getting to me again. But while eating I noticed that there was a Thai local band playing mostly rock covers right outside my window, and I was thinking that I was at the only KFC in the world with live music 6 feet from my face!!!
The band obviously had limitations, not the least of which was the butchery of the English on the lyrics, but the guitar player nailed a couple of solos and the music really grew on me, so as soon as I was done eating I took a seat near the stage at the outdoor Heineken beer garden and ordered a beer. I didn’t know when I ordered a large beer, though, that I was getting a CARAFE, and that it was going to cost me more than 5 bucks… But oh well, I hadn’t drunk much on the trip so far, and the music got better with every pour!
After a half hour of steady beer drinking I was feeling no pain and decided to go back to the room to see if Epi was around. Except that I went a block too far, past the bowling place up to the Soi 1 beergarden where a group of like 5 girls grabbed me and tried to drag me into the complex. The most persistent one was also the cutest and had NICE legs and a big grin, so I soon lost thought of Epimetheus (not that I don’t love you, dude…) and let her drag me all the way to the back where the world’s WORST ‘band’ was butchering some tune worse than any karaoke singer ever did.
I got myself and my girl a drink and pretty soon the band was introducing themselves (I was the only customer within 20 yards) and asking if I had a request. They didn’t know the request and then asked if I’d like to SING, and next thing you know, Porker’s butchering the song on the guitar himself. THAT got the attention of the neighboring beer bar, but they were polite and didn’t throw anything! I don’t think I have ever sweated as much in my LIFE as I did during that 2 minutes.
Of course my new honey went and fetched me some cold wet towels to cool me off, and the band’s friendliness went into overdrive when I gave them 200 baht a few minutes later. The original singer turned out to be the papasan, and he had lived in LA for a little while. Friendly as HELL, while I am SURE that he was cutting me up in Thai behind my back as all the girls would titter when he’d say something. Oh well, it’s good to be the baht man!
The mamasan at this beer bar in the very back of the complex was looking HOT to me in my progressively drunken state, and she couldn’t have weighed more than 85 lbs. and appeared to be in her teens. It turns out she was 25! And she was very flirtatious while minding the fact that I was chatting up her underling. I wanted mamasan!!!
It wasn’t tough to cut a deal with my honey, but after a couple of Singha’s, I’m not sure if her barfine was 200 or 400. On our one block walk back to my room she asked me if I wanted ST or LT, and I told her that would be up to her. She said she had haircutting class in the morning EARLY and wanted ST only, so I said OK, what the hell. We never discussed a tip and she didn’t bitch when I gave her 500 baht for about an hour in my room.
I did knock on Epi’s door when we got to the hotel sometime after midnight, and introduced him to my new friend. He had company as well and said that he was probably in for the evening, so my beer bar girl and I headed back to my room down the hall to consummate our new relationship
After the obligatory showers, she got down to business, and this girl REALLY knew how to suck dick. She’d take it it DEEP and just let it linger there for a minute before giving some suction, and man, it felt gooood! She interrupted the action for a second to ask for a condom, then jumped on top and rode me for all she was worth, thrashing around and wriggling, and apparently stopping to cum a couple times, though I’ll never know. I do know that 30 minutes and 4 positions later she had completely soaked my bed!
I got a quick pic after she showered again and she gave me her email address (though not her NAME! DAMMIT! This lack of names thing was getting out of control!). Right before she left I told her to tell the cute little mamasan that I wanted to screw her ass. She laughed a bit and I just laughed it off, but it was funny that we would meet again and the subject would come up.
I had a good time with this beer bar girl, but again, while she apparently thoroughly enjoyed the sex, there just seemed to be an emotional element missing that always seemed to be present in Angeles with almost every single girl. This girl was obviously a pro. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it was just different than AC.
My stomach was bugging me AGAIN and I decided I needed to get something to eat again about 1:30 AM so I went to the live music club across the street to have barbecued pork and white rice while a VERY lively Thai band was playing non-stop rock music in Thai that reminded me of club bands here in Mexico the way they seamlessly kept the rhythms going as they switched from song to song. The crowd was all Thai and they were really into the music. The group of dudes next to me looked gay as hell dancing with each other, but fuck if they didn’t all get a girl’s phone number apiece in the half hour I was there.
I ended up at the gogo on the corner at 2 AM and they were still going strong. I bought a 2 dollar coke and sat near the stage where every older, skanky chick in the place came over and told me about how they wanted to tear me up. The mamasan came over and introduced herself, and while she obviously had some mileage, it was less than some of the dancers had! That she would remember the next night after I had been there a grand total of 30 minutes blew me away.
There was a REALLY cute, thin waitress here who I kept trying in vain to make eye contact with, but whose face looked like it would crack if she ever even TRIED to smile. I found out later that Epimetheus had gotten a sneak out short time with her previously and that she was a HORRIBLE fuck! Gee, couldn’t have guessed THAT from her pissed off look in the bar!
All in all, I didn’t see anything that I had to have at the go go, so I decided it might be time to call it a night. But walking back I ended up buying a drink for a beer bar girl who was doing her best to convince me that she ‘loved’me. She was kind of cute but too tall for me and with tits too small for the mood I was in at the moment so I just headed off to bad to rest up for the next day.
I went to sleep after that thinking that things were definitely picking up in Thailand (though this was the only girl I had that night) and resolved that the next day would be a BIG day. It was going to be time for some NUMBERS, baby!
