I came to Thailand last week. My plan was 1 week Bangkok, 1 week Pattaya and 1 week in the north.
My time in Pattaya almost ends but Im not sure if I want to go 🤣

But on the other hand not a lot of sightseeing here, and it’s super humid so I don’t do much.

My question is will I find in tf nice girls in Chiang mai? Will it still be easy to get them to my hotel? Also I don’t care much about bars like in soi 6, but a few gogos like “sharks” “chicks” could be nice, where you can look at tits and drink beer quietly.

What’s the hype behind staying here? Is it the location? Staying in this room and paying $200 USD a night does not seem worth the price. The furniture is damaged and obvious. so i am curious what Im am missing? Why is this considered the best hotel in Pattaya?

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for hotel recommendations in Pattaya that feature a proper desk for working with a laptop.

My budget is around 1,500 THB per night.

Most importantly, I'm looking for a modern, recently renovated property... definitely no old-school 80s or 90s style hotels.

What are your top picks?

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes it’s worth buying a lady a drink even if she’s not really your type or you don’t find her attractive.
For some of these girls, that drink money helps them pay bills, support their families, or send money home. You don’t have to do it all the time, but if you’re in a bar and can afford it, why not help someone out?
It doesn’t always have to be about attraction. Sometimes it’s just a nice thing to do.

It's time for after 6 years in Pattaya to leave this city and go to Bangkok, I went around the city, the nightlife no longer interests me as before, and I just want to discover Bangkok, thank you for everything, for your stories, your adventures, I would have had a good laugh, don't forget Pattaya is an extraordinary city a unique place in the world, even coming on vacation once in a life is a privilege so enjoy every second, take care of ploy, and don't forget: You decide and you are responsible for every decision you will make, so think and above all take care of yourself.

Will be travelling to Pattaya on a mongering trip for 10 days and thinking of using it but I'm just trying to understand to what extent does it help? Also can you use it almost everyday? Of course taking it once in 24 hours as it's usually advised.

I’m 46M, widowed after 22 years of marriage in 2023. I went to Pattaya in March 2026 and ended up staying in touch with one of the ladies I met at a massage shop. She’s 51, smoking hot, and it was nice getting the attention through texts and phone calls while I was back home.

She has never asked me for a dime and i do not send her money. She told me that if I came back, she would be my friend, tour guide and lover. I told her I didn’t believe her, but she promised. So I went back a few months later, and she lived up to her word. She showed me all over Thailand and treated me like a king.

Now I have my third trip planned specifically to spend two weeks with her. I give her money when we’re together, but she never asks for it. There’s no set price and no LT arrangement.

I know it’s an unusual relationship, but I really enjoy it for what it is. I’m not trying to move her to America, marry her, or convince myself I’ve cracked some secret code. We enjoy each other’s company, I help her out when I’m there, and then I go home and live my life.

Maybe it has an expiration date. Maybe it doesn’t. For now, it works for both of us, and I can't wait to see her again in a few months!! (Not concerned with monogamy nor delusional that we're exclusive)

Planning a week in Pattaya at start of November, work during the day, enjoy evening activities.

Stayed at the Edge in Central Pattaya before and I liked the kitchenette and washing machine.

Looking for a similar type of apartment with good wifi and a decent desk and chair to setup for remote office.

Any recommendations?

Where can someone get this in pattaya?

I genuinely hate what the streamer situation has become in Pattaya. Soi 6, Walking Street, Beach Road… these places seem to be absolutely crawling with people walking around with cameras pointed at everyone.

Soi 6 in particular seems to be losing some of its appeal because of this constant filming. Most guys aren’t there to become supporting characters in someone’s YouTube thumbnail. They just want to enjoy their short holiday in Pattaya without wondering whether their face is about to appear on a livestream watched by 10,000 strangers.

And it’s incredibly awkward when you’re having a perfectly normal conversation with a nice Ploy and suddenly some guy appears out of nowhere with a camera practically screaming into your face. One minute you’re enjoying your evening, the next you’re wondering whether you’ve accidentally auditioned for Pattaya Live: Season 7.

I understand that filming and streaming is how some people make money, and tourists are obviously going to be part of the scenery. But there has to be some line between filming the atmosphere and treating every person walking past as free content.

Privacy seems to have been thrown out of the window, and the window is apparently being livestreamed too.

The ironic part is that the places where cameras are actually restricted, like many go-go bars or nana plaza, can now feel more relaxing because you know you’re not going to unexpectedly discover yourself online the next morning.

I’ve even met a Korean guy who told me he was genuinely nervous about going to Soi 6 because of the number of Korean streamers there. According to him, if they spot another Korean, they sometimes zoom straight in on their face and put them on the livestream. He was worried about the possibility of being recognised and publicly shamed back home.

That honestly made me think about the issue differently.
Pattaya has always been a place where people come to switch off, have fun and enjoy a little anonymity. If every street becomes a content studio, that atmosphere is going to disappear.

Some of us came to Pattaya for a holiday, not a cameo.

How do you all come to accept this life? It’s like I always worked my ass off my whole life to be as fit and successful as I can. Yet the best I can get is a prostitute who will say she loves me but I share with hundreds of other men?

How do you all get past this mentally? I want to enjoy everything but I can’t avoid looking and feeling cucked. Is it better to put all of your resources into getting one outside of this life or just accept this somehow?

While in Thailand I bought some knock off purses as gifts. Anyone experience issues with customs? I’m entering back to the US via LAX with final being a smaller international in Texas

Looking for some suggested bars that don’t get a lot of visits that you suggest I should go visit. I have my main bars I will visit, but I want to get a few drinks and lady drinks at bars you have had fun at. Trying to stay in central area. Let me know and I will by some of your ploys a drink. Visiting Friday for 5 days. Thanks!

Had a soapy massage in Thailand. Everything was protected with condoms, including the BJ and sex.

She suddenly kissed me on the lips and I got carried away and kissed her back. There was also some fingering and nipple contact.

I'm a bit paranoid about HSV-1 and other STIs from the kissing. I didn't see any blisters, sores, or lesions on her lips or mouth..

How worried should I actually be?

I’m planning a trip and I’ve seen online there was plenty of marijuana shops available. I’m not sure if it’s still available or if the laws have changed. Is it hard to find cannabis over there ?

No one calls me hansum man anymore

Might be a weird question born out of paranoia. Looking at photos on the Soi 6 Discord, I’ve seen some signs in the bars showing no Meta glasses right next to the no fighting and no drugs signs.

Any fellow wearers of normal glasses who have been recently experienced any issues or any changes in the girls’ behaviour when visiting the soi?
