Pattaya - FAQ, reviews and questions

[AffAlchemist]

I’ve not had any issues. In fact I bought some in boots at Heathrow.

i have flown into and out of Bangkok 6 or 7 times (as well as a few internal flights) and had quite a few condoms and several packs of the "little blue pill" with me without any problems at all. This has all been in 2023 and 2024 so very recent!

Many thanks

Question: Can I take viagra or Cialis with me through the airport?
Will they confiscate it or is it illegal to take these into the country?

You can also buy cheaper in Pattaya although they are the generic versions Kamagra oral jelly or Apcalis. You can buy at most chemists.

Also an option. If you want the branded stuff it will be very expensive. There are local brands which are cheaper

[weldermike]

I was buy 50 x Kamagra gel from the seller on bike’s for 700b.

[AffAlchemist]

I bought some taladafil online recently and am planning on taking those as meant to last a couple of days
We will see lol
I was just concerned taking these overseas through customs may get me pulled up?

[Happy gent]

My understanding is that you can travel with most prescription drugs. Best to keep in original packaging.

The exception maybe controlled drugs such as for pain relief e.g. opioids etc.

What would be the location to find the super hot 8/10+ type girls? The crème de la creme of Thai working girl

that is a very difficult question to answer. Your 8 out of 10 maybe my 3 out of 10 and vice versa. There are different types of ladies everywhere and sex for sale everywhere in Pattaya. Just go around and see for yourself who doesn't it for you.

Based on this thread (among other nudges), I have booked my second ever punting holiday and will be boring (or wise) and go back to Pattaya.   If it is only about as good as last year, that is fine – it was awesome last time.  But I want more.  So, I have reflected on what to STOP, START and CONTINUE.  Hey, rubbish work training can help us have a good punt (or a good punting week.)  I do know the basics, but what I am thinking to get to the next level is:

STOP
Avoid Songkran (glad I did it once, though).
Avoid Soapy (same, but no need to repeat).
Avoid Walking Street Gogo take-away (open to visiting, but not for take-out fun).

CONTINUE
Speaking to guys, and only spending baht on girls who can chat.
Trying to spend 10k+ baht on fun daily (right mindset).
Picking up girls on beach road (street girls are ‘wrong’ in many places, but not in Pattaya).
Go to a few Gents Clubs.(maybe one in the Darkside, or Jomtien)
No BB.  Seems easy, but had several encourage it last time.  YIKES.
Bring my Bose speaker and get a great room with a balcony and sea view – the room adds to the event. Have drinks and nibbles in room.  Hmm add whipped cream can and Nutella?
Get a mani/pedi and some legit massages.  Maybe have another bespoke suit made. 

START
Go with the flow more. (this is reflection, not planning).  Not book TF girls in advance from UK anyway.
Go visit the Island (Ko Lan).
Go to a nightclub.
Book a 2 day LT (maybe combined with island trip?)
Drink water/coke in clubs every other drink.
Bring own condoms (even the best in Boots were not great for me)
Change time zone.  Stay up until 2AM, get up at 10 or 11.
Rent a motor bike or scooter (last on the list as I’m not sure – but I do fancy it).

Would welcome any ideas/questions/disagreements.

[shylad57]

Great post!

I am planning on going in March. Never been before but have learned a lot from members posting on these threads.

A few things I have decided........

1. I cant do accomodation at the lower quality end. I am going to follow your advice and book the best room in a 3/4 star hotel near the action.

2. Late nights and long lie ins for me. I see myself surfacing at noon, going for coffee and food then a couple of hours by the pool. Shower and out.

3. No alcohol before 5pm and stick to bottles of beer.

4. Decided I am deffo a shag em on the premises type, dont want LT, nor visitors in my room. That being said I know full well I will succumb a time or two if anything on Beach Road takes my eye.

I've been riding bikes since I was a kid and have hired bikes in a number of SE Asian countries but I wouldn't even consider hiring a bike in Pattaya. If you do decide that you want to hire one, Koh Lan is probably your best option. They even have a dedicated bike trail across one of the mountains!
Make sure as a bare minimum that you wear a helmet and check your travel insurance before you go. Some won't insure you unless you have some form of licence in the UK and even then it is probably up to a max. of 125cc.

i have hired motorbike scooters in Thailand a number of times including in Pattaya. the traffic is not that bad (not like Bangkok where i haven't hired a bike - although been on the back of a motorbike taxi). I think its a good way of getting around - I am reasonably experiences having a (small) bike back home! most places did not ask to see my licence and i was quite impressed by the standard of bikes they had - they appeared to be well maintained and serviced! And, yes make sure they give you a helmet!

How long are you thinking of going for?

During my trip I broke it up. I got a flight to Phuket from UTP one way for £29. Then I got a flight to KL for £39 one way from Phuket then back to bkk for £35. Overall I spent about 6 days away. If you do fancy a change of scenery or just discovering another area the option is here for it specially at those prices and if you’re in the area. it would be rude not to

Having said that. I am suffering from Pattaya withdrawal symptom. I keep thinking of missed opportunities and things I should’ve done

[UKDave51]

A little bit off topic, but there`s an American aircraft carrier group based in the region for the next week for some R&R, 5000 sailors roaming the streets, the girls are going to be busy.
TBF I`ve been there before when they`re there, for the most part you couldn`t meet a nicer bunch of guys, you`ll see military police patrolling too to keep order.

[LeedsGent]

Maybe have another bespoke suit made. 

I would be interested in where you got your suit made? price? The fact that you are considering another you must be happy with the first?

[Steely Dan]

I love it.  Fits so well that I look younger and it has lot of pockets - not PriMark shite. I had it made at De-best Tailor on Soi 13 near the beach. All they do is measure - the actual suit is made somewhere else.  So I'm sure any of the Indian staffed shops will give you the same price and same quality.  Sorry I don't remember the price ... 5000 or 8000 baht? Not life changing amount. Next month I might get something even more bold like a crap singer would wear in a crap night club.  I can't sing but I can live the dream.  I hate you that you asked ... now I have to do it! For you, I think a bespoke suit in Blue and Yellow stripes!

Re: Hotel Baraquda. I stayed there the first time I went to Pattaya. It’s a lovely hotel, I checked before I went that they are guest friendly. However I didn’t end up taking anyone back there as it was a bit too family/couple oriented and the reception area is large and very open. (Basically I bottled it). Now I have been to Pattaya a couple of times I probably wouldn’t have an issue. However one night I did see a massive spider in my room and that’s also put me off staying there are 

Last trip I stayed at page 41. Rooms still very nice, staff excellent and they call you before your companion leaves to make sure everything was ok and no issues. Great location too close to LKmetro and easy access to the bus.

[Steely Dan]

Could you mean page 10 on Soi 10 between Beach Road and Second Road?  Not come across page 41...

there is a Zen 41 hotel. do you mean that CrimsonD?

[BILLY LIAR]

Stayed in Pattaya for the first time Dec 24 & would highly recommend the See Me Too Spring hotel Soi10. Very guest friendly, clearly the receptionists have seen it all before.

My second night there I booked a ladyboy from Thaifriendly for an outcall. At the time of kick off, a call from reception to inform me I have a guest coming up.  When I open the door Im greeted by a very passerble & cute ladyboy dressed in full school girl attire. Tartan mini skirt check, stockings check, crop top check & heels check... Has this girl heared of discretion???
Being a nervous nellie took the walk of shame past reception the next morning but hey its Pattaya, leave your inhibitions at home & fill your boots

Nice story. Thanks for the hotel tip.  Added to the list on puntingwiki.  And adds to the idea that all 3/4 star hotels in this area are escort friendly - that is their core business after all.  Looks like these folks own 3 hotels on Soi 10. Confusing overlap of names.  Ah well, might be more clear in Thai (but did they mean 'three' and wrote 'tree' and decided to stay with it, do you think?)

[bugsybum]

A tip for all, in that picture you can see the Sereno Hotel. They have a great rooftop bar that is free for everyone not just hotel residents just go to the reception on the ground floor and they will get a bellboy to escort you up. Has great views of beach road and great for afternoon drinks before sunset.

yes. The hotel is right on beach road but the reception and entrance are around the corner on Soi 10

I like Soi 10 as it has a few 3/4 star guest friendly hotels (Page 10, The Stay, The Spring hotel(s). There aren't any beer bars on the Soi itself so no late night noise, but an easy walk to either Beach Road or 2nd road to catch the baht bus to either Walking Street or Soi 6.

Great thread, when you're out there, do you have to supply your own condoms? Or do the girls you bring back to hotel have them?

[RMwonderer]

You have to supply your own. The girls are 50/50. Some will carry some don’t.

[Steely Dan]

You have to supply your own. The girls are 50/50. Some will carry some don’t.

And buy them here.  The condoms there are too small for most westerners.  And if it is the condoms the girls brought, for sure too small. Shopping list: Condoms, Blue pills, OTC drugs (hay fever etc), sandals, plug adaptor, Bose micro soundlink, powerpack, and suncream. Ok, they sell sandals and flip-flops (shopping there is modern!), but getting ones that fit and wont break the first day is easier here.

I’d also add ky lubricant ( it’s in 7/11 but you know what you’ve brought from the uk is better). Small umbrella if it’s fuck hot you can get some relief if you’re walking around.  I always take condoms to massage parlour + Nura soapy massage spas as the girl in Aya Nura massage was offering had no chance of going on my cock

[RMwonderer]

If you can do this prior to your trip, pop down to GUM and you can stack up on free ones and lubes. Might aswell do a test whilst you’re there. Can’t guarantee on quality or preferred brands (I got 35 pasante)

[maybe]

Johnny's i can understand, but a bit miffed about lube, why is that.

Either way, advice taken and i'll get both before i go.

Lovely! Just a heads up. It’s going to be really hot when you arrive so take your precautions 

[southcoastpunter]

I am here atm - currently in Bangkok but off to Pattaya tomorrow! It’s about 34 or 35c by day and a low of 27/28 by night! From previous trips I found that it’s April that you really begin to notice the heat increasing - but atm I am noticing the mosquitoes more than I remembered before( even in Bangkok) ! Maybe worth bringing some lightweight light trousers- luckily I brought some despite living in shorts out here!

[Lorachoop]

Been doing alot of research on my first trip to thailand, most likely pattaya.

Question: I have seen alot of videos on Soi 6 and the girls standing outside all the bars that try to pull you in. Are they all available for ST and LT ? If so, how does the process work,

Go inside, sit down, try to call over the one you fancy, pay lady drink, pay bar fine and then agree for ST or LT ?

and lastly for ST in Soi 6, do they have a place available inside or you have to go to your hotel for it ?

Lots to learn!

[Steely Dan]

Yes all are escorts.  Every now and then a girl wont be available (time of month etc) but so rare not to bother.  Some wont do LT.  They may prefer to be in the bar.  Maybe they think they can earn more on drinks and ST than LT.  Or they just don't want to.  I am amazed sometimes that girls will hang out with me for 12 hours!

Yes you just go in a buy a drink.  You can ask if she will do ST or LT right away if you like - she is used to it.  The bar fine goes on the bar bill (as premium drink - depends on bar).  So if you want get on with it, tell her to put the barfine on the drinks bill right away.  Then finish the drink with her and send her to get changed and get her stuff (if LT), or take her upstairs for ST.  Almost all places on Soi 6 have a ST room on site.   Personnaly I don't rush it.  Don't mind a few lady drinks.  I have 24 hours in a day to enjoy, so hanging out with her for a bit is fine. Hmmm ... if I am BF her for the second time I might get her to add the BF right away and be out in no time.

[southcoastpunter]

I might get her to add the BF right away and be out in no time.

as indeed you did one of the days I and P were with you -  5 different girls in one day! Beats my best of 3 in one day!

[Lorachoop]

Amazing. Thankyou for answering all my questions
