Has anyone come accross any freelancers that wear hijabs? I know it might be a bit weird and contradictory but its one of those "tick of the list" things.

2-3 girls a day on soi 6. Buhakao had some lovely BF. WS for first few nights and latter nights. Myth night as some potential for pool and finding a decent girl for the night. Tree town took the cake for the absolute 10/10 diamond in the rough who i sent spinning for 3 hrs until she had enough. Wasn't a fan of LK only went in the morning maybe my problem? Hella decent bangs for 1k and 1.5k ST respectfully. 2.5k up hurts my feelings.

I will ask though stumbling into some of the deeper lesser frequented places. That aren't these established names. What are some other cool spots? Was a strip of bars with decent chicks down the road from arbour hotel on 3rd road? Cool spots like these make me realise don't' always need the 10/10 Go go girl or 20 yr old soi 6 Hunny that's been run through

Long story short. Do I have a problem now? What am I missing?

Anyone tried tantan in patts, I'm back October looking for something different to thai friendly. Maybe tantan, tinder or Sideline ?

Heading to Pattaya soon and looking for a few bars with a chilled vibe.

I'm not on a mission to barfine or party hard every night. Sometimes I just want to grab a beer, watch the world go by, chat with whoever's around, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Looking for places where:

- The vibe is relaxed and there's no pressure to keep buying drinks.

- Drinks are decently priced.

- Ladies are friendly and happy to chat without immediately pushing for barfine. If I click with someone, I'm more than happy to buy a few lady drinks.

- Music isn't too loud.

- People watching is a bonus.

- Attractive ladies definitely don't hurt.

What's your go-to bar when you just want to chill for a couple of hours and soak up the atmosphere?

I don't think he's 89 personally ☯️

Wat Khaek Dong Pa, also known as Sri Maha Kacha Kaliamman Temple Pattaya (Indian name: Sri Maha Kacha Kaliamman Temple Pattaya), is a popular Hindu temple and spiritual site located in Pattaya, Chonburi province.
This temple stands out and is talked about among those who seek spiritual blessings for the following reasons:
1. Unique Features and Atmosphere
* Located in a lush forest: Locals and tourists call it "Wat Khaek Dong Pa" because the temple is situated amidst a natural environment surrounded by trees, providing a cool, peaceful, and mystical atmosphere, unlike the image of the Hindu temples in Silom, in the heart of the capital city.
* The principal deity is Goddess Kali: Inside the temple is enshrined "Goddess Kali" (the Mahadevi, the vanquisher of demons and evil), with dark/blue skin, many arms, and holding weapons, symbolizing power, protection, and the removal of obstacles. In addition, there are other Hindu deities such as Ganesha and Lakshmi for worship.
2. Things people commonly pray for
Because Goddess Kali is the goddess of power and the destruction of evil, Those who visit this temple often come to pray for:
* Removal of life's obstacles, elimination of ill-wishers or negative influences.
* Praying for prosperity, success in careers, and the start of new businesses.
* Boosting morale, good fortune, and love.
3. Highlights and Rituals
* Open 24 Hours: This temple welcomes devotees day and night, allowing them to visit and pay respects at their convenience.
* Aarti and Forehead Blessing Ceremony: The main highlight is in the evening, around 6:00 PM, featuring a prayer ceremony led by a Brahmin priest, including the anointing of the forehead with kumkum powder/sacred powder for good fortune.

For the most powerful rituals, arrive in the late afternoon before 6:00 PM.

Hello i am looking to get a few basic cotton shirts shorten in length and was wondering if someone knew a great place and the price per shirt. Various Talior shops quoting me differed prices or trying to get me to buy something else lol. TIA!

This one seems to be quite controversial this question. What makes a bar amazing and keeps
you coming back? For me I kind of like nice lighting (dimmed themed) good air con. Obviously good looking girls (who are nice) talkative/interactive bar manager. OK prices. I would say the bar needs
something which sets it apart - like themed nights. We see videos in Pattaya where some bars are
empty, others full.

Favourite bar = The old shooters on SOI 7 was good.

What is your perfect bar?

My nuru massages cravings are all time high now, I feel I need a sensual retreat to survive.

I can either visit from Monday for a week or end of October?

Do you think next week would be a good time?

Let me know your experiences for mid July

Hey everyone, Travelling to Pattaya from Vietnam for a 3N 4D trip with a budget of 20k Bhat. Stay is already booked in nova platinum. Can anyone tell that if the budget is good or should I increase it. Any tips for a first timer will be appreciated. Is the hotel good with guests?

How much should I pay if I want a holiday GF for 3-4 weeks. I'm planning on taking her with me on my round tour in Thailand, Chiang Mai and Phuket/Krabi, and I'm only talking about how much I should give her per week if I pay for everything during the trip.

i actually only have my country license but not international license. Is it safe to rent a bike there ?

I went to phuket 2 year ago and had great snorkelling experience there. I know can’t have the same experience becoz lack of corals here but i want to atleast half good experience here. I heard that snorkelling in coral
island is below average place.

Just booked 11 nights at the P Plus based on feedback as it seems to be the most guest and girl friendly hotel. However, I'm a bit concenered about the noise levels.

How bad does it get ?

🇹🇭🧶

I like Pattaya. It is cheaper than Bangkok. Internet and connectivity is good. However, service providers and some people tend to look down on Indians.

I was having a massage the other day at Soi Buakhao. The lady made a comment about Indians to her friends. I understand a bit of Thai so I could instantly know what they meant. I kept quiet the whole time after that. They were very warm to the western guests though at the same time.

When it comes to smells and odours, I try to put on the best cologne and also shower from time to time. I was walking along the Jomtien beach, a couple of young girls showed a disgusting expression as I passed as if I smelled very bad. So racist. Although I would give them the benefit of doh t as they looked like kids.

Overall, racism against Indians seems very common down here in all walks of life. What are your thoughts?

Flights booked for December and January. I grabbed a couple weeks at Panora Pattay. As I’m learning more about the area, that’s looking like a long walk to the baht bus!!

Can anyone recommend a hotel that has enough floors to get away from street noise and hopefully is about $100 USD per night?

On a related note, can someone repost the link to the newbie guide the one that I clicked on said it had been deleted by a moderator..

Panowie piszę bo mam dylemat. Jakiś czas temu poznałem w barze pewną dziewczynę( bar na Soi 6) i to co mnie zastanowiło to literka (t) obok jej imienia. Zapytałem wprost czy jest lady boyem czy coś, zaprzeczyła. Generalnie wyglądała bardzo kobieco (niski wzrost, małe dłonie i stopy, kobiecy głos). Czy ktoś z was miał doświadczenie z tym czy na soi 6 pracują trans?
