I was part of the UKP meet up in Pattaya. It was really good to meet the other guys and I enjoyed the mix of group vibe with punting alone.
Pattaya really is a playground. I totally appreciate those doing lots of research before a trip and I get it. However, Pattaya you really can just venture and find a variety of choice. Whether it is Gogos, massage, freelancers, Gents Clubs, or Bar Girls, it is all there and accessible.
One recommendation is Soi 6, just see who catches your eye, buy them a lady drink (about 200B) if you hit it off then take them upstairs. Room fee about 500B, girls 1-3k B. Walking Street you can find freelancers in the clubs Insomnia and Republic, prices can vary but I would say 3k is about normal for ST. Walking Street Gogos you will find some good looking girls who you can bar fine for 1-2K and take home for 3-4k ST.
Beach Road had lots of freelancers, particularly towards the Walking Street end of the road. I didn't par take but there was a good variety of girls and Ladyboys if that's your thing.
I did go to PP Massage for a soapy massage. 2200 B The girl was perfectly nice looking but the service was robotic and sub standard. I prefer the normal massage places which are generally a bit cheaper and more fun. I connected with a massage girl on Soi 13/1, I think her name was Mina and she had a great rack. I think it was called DD massage but not 100% sure about that.
Treetown is a good spot to meet bar girls. I spent a few evenings here, usually a bit drunk as on my way back from a night out which meant I didn't bar fine but I got some numbers.
I tried TF and it was exactly hit and miss for me. Miss was a girl who turned up at my hotel room and was not nearly as good as her photos. Much heavier and not as good looking in person. I went through with it anyway for 2k B. The hit was May who was a just my type, petite with a out of proportion very natural looking (but not real) large rack. We hit it off instantly. A few nights later I met her in Republic nightclub and we spent another night together. She was my highlight in Pattaya. 2.5k for the first session and I think 5k overnight.
On to Bangkok for a few days. I stayed on Soi 11 Sukhumvit Arina Hotel, right in the middle of the action. Bangkok is not as easy as Pattaya but it can be just as much fun. Thermae is still going strong and 3k is still the going rate for a short session in your hotel. It's another hit or miss situation here. I rarely find what I like here as I like to connect with the girls first with some chat. However, I liked the look of one girl who was in her 30s and had a tight looking body. She spoke English so I made the offer and off we went. The service was OK and I got a bit of GFE from her so it turned out to be worth it.
I went to Analisa massage on Soi 6 as I like the 'Glory Hole' experience with 2 girls for 3.5k. Not the best looking girls but the service is aways good here. Later on I went to a normal massage place on the main Sukhumvit Road called Nang Seeda - just before the entrance to Soi 8. First experience was good with a Thai milf with a cracking body, she was very enthusiastic for 2.5k full service. Add the 500 b for the massage. The next time I went past I spotted pretty little thing outside who (after 30 mins in to the massage) only offered happy ending, I was very disappointed so I turned her down thinking I wanted a bit more than a HJ. I thought full service would be standard here but I was wrong.
Nana Plaza is going strong as was very busy. There is really only one Gogo worth going to IMO Butterflies has the best looking girls and even a few stunners. I didn't get an update on cost but I would think a bit more expensive than the Gogos in WS Pattaya. The other Gogos I felt were a bit of a rip off with very few good looking girls and pushy staff.
On the weekend along Soi 4 (same as Nana Plaza) had a lot of street freelancers. I didn't take any but I would think you could bag a bargain here. More variety as well with Africans ladies in the mix too.
There are also a few bars and nightclubs worth trying for freelancers. Hilary 2 (Soi 11) and Hilary 3 (Soi 4) had plenty of working girls plus pool tables which suits me. I also like Oskar Bar on Soi 11 (often has a decent DJ), a bit classier in here and many girls go looking here before heading to the nightclubs Elements and Sugar.
Last night was with an old flame who I had met punting in Hong Kong, a chance meeting but the perfect ending to my trip.
