"Wondered what you guys thought the cost would be for everything on average for those have been to Thailand.
Looking to stay in a 3 star hotel. I heard some danger stories about beach girls so will be sticking to thai bar girls, go go girls and BJ clubs. Food wise looking to dine pretty average and plan on buying bottled water instead of drinking the water. Entertainment wise will be indulging in shopping trips at least once and doing random fun stuff in Pattaya." Ben
Ha! Nice one - I was replying specifically to Ben's post, namely the above points he makes. A 3 star hotel isn't any better than a good guest house, actually worse, facility-wise. I like to keep as much money aside as possible for having fun. You can find some good BR girls, Ben. Pattaya is an ever changing town. I've been 8 times and usually stay for a month and have seen a shift in standard of girls/experience. Last time I took back 1 BG (not very good), picked up another in a club (off her head), none from Go-Go's, one from BR (pretty good), 3 Devil's Den 'experiences' (amazing) and several, maybe 10, from Massage shops - I negotiated for them to come back to my room - 2 times, 2 at once - and they were top notch in attitude, services, cost-effectiveness and looks. Everyone's different though, but one of the reasons, I'm sure, was that I'd put plenty of dosh aside to be able to actually pay these girls more than they asked - unusual, I know, but because of that they were much, much better than they otherwise would have been. It's ALL about money in Patts, Ben.
