Can anyone recommend a website, online guide, or forum that discusses Pattaya/Bangkok nightlife? TUSCL has some great info on Zona Norte but, the info on Thailand is pretty sparse. Thanks in advance!
It's my understanding that you just walk in and out of bars, and when you find a girl you like, you pay a bar fine and you're on your way with the girl for whatever you negotiate.
Just stay out of the basement bars, and avoid the "girl with a snake" and "ping pong ball show" hawkers.
Best to check out some YT videos like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVEZvhRQ… you will get a better sense of what's going on from watching than from a forum.
Pattaya is way cheap right now because the economy sucks and also its low season on top of that. For nightlife you wont beat Walking Street.
Just start at Beach Road and walk all the way down. Likely you wont have to go all the way down the road because you will likely find something entertaining before that. Or maybe you just want to walk down , see the options and then on the walk back choose your venue that you will hang out at. Either way anyone will tell you Walking Street is where you want to be at night. Plus its rather safe, the clubs and bars dont want any shit or trouble so no one would put up with any kind of crap. Just careful for typical pickpocket stuff, but the owners of bars and clubs dont put up with much due to them not wanting to scare tourists awy. Any assaults or violence (if it takes place, thats a big IF and usually doesnt) is usually locals fighting each other for whatever reason. Attacks on tourists are usually met with harsh hand since that is where the money comes from.
bankok. visit NANA PLAZA and soi Cowboy. i stayed at NANA hotel. took the elevated train in between. then taxi to pattaya. get hotel in LK area. that is betweej walking street and soi 6. lots of bars and oppertunities. i really enjoyed my time in thailand!
rode the bhat busses (blue pickup with open cage) in pattaya. 10 bhat each ride. they run random routes. never really figuered them out... but it's cheap.
Another thing is try a soapy massage. You can find the services on Second Road which isnt that far from Walking Street.
It will cost about 65USD for proper Soapy Massage but well worth it and you dont have to worry much about being scammed by bar girls. The girls also tend to be better looking. Even if the place doesnt offer full service, if you ask the masseuse for their number they will usually agree to meet you after their work.
There is one called Rasputin that has Eastern European girls in case you want a change of flavor. Also decent is Honey 2.
Just go on Second Road and there will be some there, but the 2 I mentioned have the best looking women for sure. Rasputin may be closer to 160USD for the Easern Europeans, but we are talking women who look like actual models easily 8 out of 10 on looks if not 10/10. They also have Thai women there for around $70 but they can be a little more depending on their looks.
Good thing about the soapy massage places is you dont have to get any drinks if you dont want to. Some of the bars on Walking street can get pushy and usualy there is 3 or 5 drink min that girls have to get before they can even pay the bar fine to go.
Also the massage place has the benefit of they shower before and after and so do you so its rather clean in comparison.
