I'd say your daily rate overall is a good estimate. Not everyone is going to have 8 beers a day for 2 weeks straight, nor daily ST, but the savings of not doing that could be spent on some better food, or other incidentals.
Hi Daz, you are spot on ! However, naturally everyone will have a slight variation in their balance sheet depending on their life style and their pockets. In my case, I am a light drinker and would prefer maily LTs for the company as well as traveling together to nearby resorts and islands to escape the overwhelming Pattaya's fever. In any case, thank you for setting a very realistic bench mark. 👍👍🌷
I have visited Pattaya so many times, through the High season, Mid Season and Low Season, the draw back to low season is that its so hot and humid you really need to be run into the AC anywhere you can find it, nearly impossible to eat outside unless you dont mind the extreme humidity, that said no tourist running around. Great video Daz.
Daz it's nice video I see where places I want to go are located from other you tube persons went . Thanks for video of restaurants. My how Pattaya has changed since I was last there in 1983-84.
Good video Daz . Currently in Thailand just now and I’m spending about £1000 a week which I don’t mind as I’m here to enjoy myself and can afford. If you want a cheap holiday go to Benidorm but there will be no pay for play. It’s all about your budget but your bang on Daz with your info.
Good video Daz! I love the Capatins Bar & Guest House is great. I had breakfast there everyday except one when I was in Pattaya. Aside from having good food at a reasonable price, they open at 7am. There seemed to be a few places that served an English or American breakfast, but don't open until 9am. In terms of lunch & dinner, walk down Soi Boomerang, follow it around to the left at the bottom, & on the right there is a great little food place where you can get a nice meal for 65, 70, 75 thb. The lady there is nice too, was up for a chat.
@@roberthill9639 Not sure it even has a name. There is only one shop selling food on the right side, or at least there was when I was there. Just a small shop with just a couple of tables & a couple of chairs at the counter. Just walk down Soi Boomerang, follow it around to the left, look on the right side once you tuen the corner & you should see it 10-20 seconds later.
Good video. The cheapest place I ate breakfast was at Cheap Charlies on Soi Buakhao. The service was very fast too, but the breakfast was just good, not great. I went to Kung's on Soi Lengkee on another day and the prices were more expensive than Cheap Charlies, but the quality was much higher IMHO. Hunger Pangs had one of the most delicious hamburgers that I have ever eaten for a competitive price. KHAO SOI CHIANG MAI (near Soi lengkee next to Admire House hotel) has excellent northern Thailand food at cheap prices.
I noticed that you like touching the glass when closing the patio doors. Do you ever get you hand slap for making marks on it from the ladies that just cleaned the room .🙂
Agree with Prices, I'm 63 so dont go out partying every night just eat out and Massage some nights. Going in June for 3 weeks Flight from Manchester £720. Staying 4* Hotel £26 a night. Go Go s too pricey so dont go, but met some very nice Beer Bar Massage Girls. New Govt. May close Weed Shops. Only eat two meals a day, late Breakfast/lunch and Dinner. Will try Gents club this time.
For sure try Gents Clubs, if your go to Jomtien, then try Passion GC, if in the city, Heaven Above or Maggie May or the new Eden GC, watch the next video for that !!!
26.35 I ate at American Bar and Grill a few weeks ago The quality of the food was top notch. Prices are what I would call lower mid range. Good value compared with back home in Australia
I spent the winter months for a few years in Pattaya far before the pandemic. I had a very cheap ventilator-room at Tony's Grand Lido Hotel on Third Road very close to the junction to South Pattaya Road. My room was on 5th floor with a city view and the price per month was only 4500 Baht (then about USD 140) + water + electric. The price included 2 x houekeeping per week, free cable TV, free internet, free use of the hotels swimming pool and free use of Tony's Gym close to the hotel. While I'm not a big drinker and work online 5 days a week, my total expenses per month never exceeded 30.000 Baht (then about USD 850)
Visited Pattaya/Jontiem for a few weeks there with about 3 days notice (as had to use up some holidays). Spent £380 on air travel return from the UK. Spent £140 on airport parking and £40 fuel for the car. Took £600 spending money and didn't need to take any more out of the bank, but then again I don't do gogo's or bar fines. So all in all about £1200 for the two weeks. If I was there for longer I would rent an Apt and save more cash.
good guide for the sensible people with good control. Ha Ha in my case i need to multiply that by about 3. after a few beers that budget gets thrown right out the window.
Im 26 from UK and going to thailand for first time tomorrow. Your video could not have been timed better so thank you. You seem like a nice guy, going on my own is a bit daunting but I'm looking forward to it. I will be in pattaya from June 1st it would be great to catch a beer with you! Let me know if you are around.
Yes it is reasonable. Walking St. seems the one place all agree is now ridiculous. Rest of Patt. is still similar to before the illness wave. Thank you enjoyed your vlog. Nicely done.
Hi Daz...! Hope you’re keeping yourself well Mate. Very interesting and accurate information in my appreciation. I been travelling to Pattaya in numerous occasions for a period between 2 and 3 weeks every holidays and my daily budget is around 4000 Thai Bath. Obviously depends on your taste and preferences but I believe is a decent budget. The breakfast in Kung’ s Soi Lengkee is quality..! Lots and lots of great choices and very affordable prices. The homemade Cumberland Sausages are Aroi...! Thanks again for your Videos and please keep the hard work coming...!
The Devonshire overall had the best English b'fast while I was in Pattaya las winter. 149 baht for 2 eggs, 2 bacon, one sausage, bubble and squeak, fried bread, beans or tomato. Big mug of tea, orange juice, toast and marmalade. Time on LKM is also very reasonable.
looking at flights from Manchester (UK) for two weeks return in October on skyscanner is £800-£900 (days i was looking at was £813 so not as bad as when i flew Christmas day, flight was £1,800
@@scott5319 never compared flights from Newcastle (i'm in Doncaster) so i would suggest you try looking at Manchester flights, even if you add a return taxi it would be cheaper than the £1500 you found.......just had another thought, are you looking at school holiday time?, it may be worth looking at September instead. good luck, have a great time
@@tonymatthews2344 Yes I was looking at the school holidays Tony, I just fancied coming out in August. September onwards is roughly nearly half the price ( £800) more or less the same price for you in October...Thanks & you have a good one too 👍
Excellent videos coming over soon for a few weeks with the intention of maybe spending the British winter here what with prices of bills... etc don't think it would work out anymore 59 and fit and retired so this looks really good ...maybe we'll meet in the future sometime who knows all the best bud....
Your chart is spot on ,id say 4 to 6 bottles for breakfast the same for lunch, then 12 bottles at nite time, 12 bottles is 8 pints, most lads i do be away with do more, for a 2 week holiday
Hello Daz, I went to the captain's restaurant in soi honey Last night. Took a shrimp phad thai for 90 baht. It was really good and copious, Singha beer for 65 b. Good place to go, thanks to you ! Ill go back again.
Hi Daz... Not sure if you have done any videos or segments visiting Vegetarian and or Vegan restaurants, but it would nice for us "Health Nuts" for you to have a look at some. Thanks as always for your great work. Louis
There is a " Ahan Jay " ( Thai for Vegi ) restaurant opposite the large Fairitt store at the traffic lights of South Pattaya road and 3rd road, but I haven't done a video yet.
@@everythingPattaya Thanks Daz :) When I finally get back to Pats, I'll check it out. Been a Vegan for about 6 years now. At 72 "ALL Systems A-OK" -online and working at optimal levels. Be happy to treat you to a "Vegan meal" when I get there. I'm still working on an ETA. Be Well!
Yeah, great idea to specifically include veggie and vegan places or options other than the typical „veg“ Indian restaurants that you can find almost anywhere…
Great video, Daz. Really like the blue sheet. I am budgeting 6250 baht a day, for my 3 week trip. Not including the cost of hotel. Just for ST/LT Food. I don't drink alcohol. Regardless, this episode was right up my alley for meals as I'll be in the Soi Buakhao area.
When I was stationed at U-Tapao RTAFB in the Sattahip area back in 1967/68 the Thai Baht was equal to right around .05 cents American. Short time with a young lady was $3.00 and "Love you long time" (Overnight) was $5.00 at the bars right outside of the Main Gate ! *Ahhh...the good old days !*
Hey Daz, , I would agree with everything you say, very informative, you don’t need to spend money in LK Metro, which simply is crazy!! Back in Thailand in October, third visit in 12 months !
love your show but you leave out some important points like here in this video I'm going to show you some prices for low season.. when's the season ??? you want us to think as we have a beer in our hand watching the video that would be nice to know do we have to check another channel but appreciate your show
I’ve just arrived home today from 13 nights in Pattaya and I spent a wee bit more than that😅, in total I spent £1875!😅 my hotel was £25 a night and I was averaging around 15 beers a day. I also bar fined just about every day ( LT 400b + 2000b) I also probably bought around 5 or 6 lady drinks a day, (could have saved some money there😂 ), and for food I spent around 300b a day, yes I could have done it cheaper but hay ho it was a holiday 😂🍺😎 but I think you are about spot on you could easily do it cheaper, few less beers a day and less lady drinks and of course go ST instead of LT😜.
@@alcoyne3333333333333 a bar fine is the amount of money you pay the bar in order to take a girl from that bar for the evening, it’s like a kind of compensation payment to the bar for them losing a member of staff for the night. In a beer bar it is normally around 400b however in a go go bar it could be over 1500b.
@@ianfraser4 glad you had a good time, after 21 trips to Thailand i still pay too many lady drinks because i love to play pool or have a giggle with the girls, i also love a foot massage everyday (not naughty one 555)
I stayed too long in BKK and spent a small fortune! But I had an amazing time in Pattaya nua, jomtien and pratamnak! Skipped phuket as my friend showed me vids raining everyday, I left the UK to avoid rain not be in it haha. Pattaya was sunny dry and hot, didn't hardly rain all throughout may
Great video as usual but I’m just wondering about gratuities? Is this a stupid question? I’m good at those. Perhaps you included gratuities and those prices?
@@everythingPattaya Sorry, yes I meant tips for meals and/ or drinks. I imagine the topic of tips for other services rendered would likely be censored on RUclips.
Daz, very good.:) The breakfasts are the most amazing value. I don't do beer during lunch or arvo, esp. in the heat but everyone can adjust to their own habits. I am actually thinking of making an unexpected off season return, and I found flights out of Heathrow to BKK for £600 return. It is very competitive V a European holiday because the hotels and eating are so much cheaper. It is really about how much 'company' you want and how much sun. My own experience of being there in June is while not the wettest month, it is very cloudy.. but if you want a break and 'options' which are not always available in Spain... and don't expect all blue sky, now is a good time to go.
Fantastic daz Coming beginning of November, How much different do you think from today’s prices? Obviously a educated guess please would be fine thanks
Great video Daz and loved it!!! except I have a few more drinks than 8 per day. Maybe 4 beers in the evening then several Scotches. Is Scotch roughly the same price as beer?
Imported spirits are more expensive, 120b a drink,local spirits like som song are very drinkable and can be as cheap as 50b,they serve Thai style, half a tumbler of spirits, 2 cubes of ice and and splash of coke,have a few of them and you will be well on the way
I’m going tomorrow and 3 of us are driving down from udon thani.4 star hotel 580b a night gasoline 1,700b each,breakfast 120b.that’s 1,220b a day but then 20,000b on beer per day.
Your info is fine although each to their own, The realism is what you make of your holiday. If you want to have a good time that's okay, if you want to have a Great time especially around Buakow area you can spend a little extra. Then a blast around walking street well be prepared for an expensive holiday. Look mate 28 years has told me it's all up to you, but when you hit the ground anything and everything is possible, especially with gorgeous ladies around. 🍻 👏
Hi Daz, love the videos mate, any chance of you doing a review of the Soapy massage parlours, who is still in business, when are they open, what do they charge and when is the best time to go etc. a lot of the stuff on the internet is well out of date because of Covid, the war in ukraine and the food/fuel crisis in europe right now.
It's about right..I always budget 5000 BHT a day for trips but bring 10,000.justin case... Even if you said 80 a beer it's only a few BHT on the day.. The killer that nobody thinks about is the tirak costs when you LT them... That can add 1000s a day ... Best to just ST them and max 2 drinks.. Walking st and any Gogo's will soon fleece you when the little cute sharks start tickling your fancy.. 😂😂
Yep your spot on with the chart , I allow for £100 a day but sometimes I spend a lot less as I don’t Bar fine everyday these days but when I do I use my regular ladies who I always get on well with 👍
Apart from the beautiful women, what I love most about Pattaya is the food, not once did get sick, or have crook guts like do in Oz, everything I ate was top notch, clean (not processed) and well priced both western and thai food. And the banana frappas at the Copperspoon 10/10. Heading back mid 2024 for 2 mths, Counting the days.
555 don't eat the mussels/oysters from the bay served on the seaside restaurants on Walking Street...28 years ago...(damn...I've been going there a longtime) I had some delicious mussels...felt great on the trip...got home and had the sweats...and was sh*tting like a goose for 1 month..finally went to the doctor...and it was some bacteria from the mussels...even with antibiotics it took 6 months to get over it...haven't touch a mussel since 555
Hmmmm...I struggled to survive on 4k baht per day back in the late 90's...More realistic spend for me now would be 12-15k per day including accomodation.
Are the safety boxes in the room secure to use in a small guest house? Always worries me so always used bigger hotels with safety boxes behind reception . Flipper house Soi 7 always been my go to …
Just had 2 friends come back from travelling threw asia for the last 2 months , they went to cambodia ,vietnam and Thailand- they finished in pattaya and couldn't wait to get there as this had been on there bucket list for a very long time but they said they wouldn't go back or recommend anyone to go there on holidays as it was crazy the price some ladys were asking and many wouldn't negotiate atal! One of them was quoted on soi 6 at 12 o clock at night 2500 for st and 4500 for lt even though the bar closed at 1 o clock ! They said they tried to negotiate but the girl simply said if you dont want to pay go somewhere else 😂 , I think this attitude by ladys and these prices are gonna be the downfall of pattaya as I have seen a lot of people commenting on other videos saying how there not interested in going back due to similar situations. They said a lot of bars they visited had the same attitude and even though it was quiet they wernt made feel welcome atal , not every bar they said was like this as some were very good but they said they would recommend Vietnam for a better service all round
unfortunately your friends had a bad experience and their lack of Pattaya knowledge let them down (no offence intended at all) personally i would never go to soi 6 late at night and there are so many options that would have been far better, places like soi pothole or LK metro would have been 100% more fun and the gentleman's clubs on soi boomerang would have given them an unforgettable experience for no more than the price of a few beers
Thanks again for your impartial uploads Could you do a review on dentists and general prices? I know this will be popular uk prices now are a rip off if you be seen. Thanks
I'd say your daily rate overall is a good estimate. Not everyone is going to have 8 beers a day for 2 weeks straight, nor daily ST, but the savings of not doing that could be spent on some better food, or other incidentals.
Hi Daz, you are spot on ! However, naturally everyone will have a slight variation in their balance sheet depending on their life style and their pockets. In my case, I am a light drinker and would prefer maily LTs for the company as well as traveling together to nearby resorts and islands to escape the overwhelming Pattaya's fever. In any case, thank you for setting a very realistic bench mark. 👍👍🌷
Yes, the chart was meant as a basic, which everyone can adjust to suit themselves. Cheers
Yes Mate, very in the pocket about a reasonable budget!
Thanks for sharing
I have visited Pattaya so many times, through the High season, Mid Season and Low Season, the draw back to low season is that its so hot and humid you really need to be run into the AC anywhere you can find it, nearly impossible to eat outside unless you dont mind the extreme humidity, that said no tourist running around. Great video Daz.
But low season is also wet season and the slums of Pattaya have 2 foot of water too wade through
@@Coming4u2 It's not just water in that sewage soup.
Its hot as out in high season, practically all the time in Thailand. its only cooler at night in the north in Dec/Jan/Feb

Good video. The cheapest place I ate breakfast was at Cheap Charlies on Soi Buakhao. The service was very fast too, but the breakfast was just good, not great. I went to Kung's on Soi Lengkee on another day and the prices were more expensive than Cheap Charlies, but the quality was much higher IMHO. Hunger Pangs had one of the most delicious hamburgers that I have ever eaten for a competitive price.

Try Chill in, just 300meters at front in soi bhukao on right side, where you entered soi honey.. Best value for money!!
When I was stationed at U-Tapao RTAFB in the Sattahip area back in 1967/68 the Thai Baht was equal to right around .05 cents American. Short time with a young lady was $3.00 and "Love you long time" (Overnight) was $5.00 at the bars right outside of the Main Gate ! *Ahhh...the good old days !*
Hey Daz, , I would agree with everything you say, very informative, you don’t need to spend money in LK Metro, which simply is crazy!! Back in Thailand in October, third visit in 12 months !
Always great content. Good baseline ..each can add more beer or entertainment but have a general idea what $
Great Vid, great info 👍
had my 50th birthday in that new club when it was oasis a go go , 13 years ago , good times back then
Good video yes many options just be smart with your money and you can live a great life.
love your show but you leave out some important points like here in this video I'm going to show you some prices for low season.. when's the season ??? you want us to think as we have a beer in our hand watching the video that would be nice to know do we have to check another channel but appreciate your show
Low Season is from May 1st to Nov 1st
I’ve just arrived home today from 13 nights in Pattaya and I spent a wee bit more than that😅, in total I spent £1875!😅 my hotel was £25 a night and I was averaging around 15 beers a day. I also bar fined just about every day ( LT 400b + 2000b) I also probably bought around 5 or 6 lady drinks a day, (could have saved some money there😂 ), and for food I spent around 300b a day, yes I could have done it cheaper but hay ho it was a holiday 😂🍺😎 but I think you are about spot on you could easily do it cheaper, few less beers a day and less lady drinks and of course go ST instead of LT😜.
What is Bar Fine ????
@@alcoyne3333333333333 a bar fine is the amount of money you pay the bar in order to take a girl from that bar for the evening, it’s like a kind of compensation payment to the bar for them losing a member of staff for the night. In a beer bar it is normally around 400b however in a go go bar it could be over 1500b.
@@ianfraser4 glad you had a good time, after 21 trips to Thailand i still pay too many lady drinks because i love to play pool or have a giggle with the girls, i also love a foot massage everyday (not naughty one 555)
Which bars did you go to for LT? I was paying 500+2500.
@@asianmale30 various bars, some on Soi Diana, one on Tree Town and a couple on Soi pothole😎
That restaurant on Soi Honey is great, enjoy eating there everytime I am in Pattaya.
I stayed too long in BKK and spent a small fortune! But I had an amazing time in Pattaya nua, jomtien and pratamnak! Skipped phuket as my friend showed me vids raining everyday, I left the UK to avoid rain not be in it haha. Pattaya was sunny dry and hot, didn't hardly rain all throughout may
nice vlog. thanks again
Great video as usual but I’m just wondering about gratuities? Is this a stupid question? I’m good at those. Perhaps you included gratuities and those prices?
Do you mean Tips ? if so, 20 to 40 baht is enough
@@everythingPattaya Sorry, yes I meant tips for meals and/ or drinks. I imagine the topic of tips for other services rendered would likely be censored on RUclips.
Daz, very good.:) The breakfasts are the most amazing value. I don't do beer during lunch or arvo, esp. in the heat but everyone can adjust to their own habits. I am actually thinking of making an unexpected off season return, and I found flights out of Heathrow to BKK for £600 return. It is very competitive V a European holiday because the hotels and eating are so much cheaper. It is really about how much 'company' you want and how much sun. My own experience of being there in June is while not the wettest month, it is very cloudy.. but if you want a break and 'options' which are not always available in Spain... and don't expect all blue sky, now is a good time to go.
Wasnt for the extortionate price for flights I'd be there now😢...but a good video...always best to shop around ..in more ways than one 😂😂😂
I knew nothing about Kung's but happy as hell that I do now. About to walk over there now. Thanks DAZ
Pleasure
Daz, you are a gem 💎 We'll be there soon and drop of loads of Earl grey & English breakfast tea bags at Amon's bar for you mate. Love your videos.
Ha Ha thanks very much LOL
I plan on going there November 1-22 my first visit back.
Fantastic daz
Coming beginning of November,
How much different do you think from today’s prices?
Obviously a educated guess please would be fine thanks
1st Nov is the start of High Season, prices will go up
Great video Daz and loved it!!! except I have a few more drinks than 8 per day. Maybe 4 beers in the evening then several Scotches. Is Scotch roughly the same price as beer?
Imported spirits are more expensive, 120b a drink,local spirits like som song are very drinkable and can be as cheap as 50b,they serve Thai style, half a tumbler of spirits, 2 cubes of ice and and splash of coke,have a few of them and you will be well on the way
Great summary Thanks
I’m going tomorrow and 3 of us are driving down from udon thani.4 star hotel 580b a night gasoline 1,700b each,breakfast 120b.that’s 1,220b a day but then 20,000b on beer per day.
Your info is fine although each to their own,
The realism is what you make of your holiday.
If you want to have a good time that's okay, if you want to have a Great time especially around Buakow area you can spend a little extra.
Then a blast around walking street well be prepared for an expensive holiday.
Look mate 28 years has told me it's all up to you, but when you hit the ground anything and everything is possible, especially with gorgeous ladies around. 🍻 👏
Hi Daz, love the videos mate, any chance of you doing a review of the Soapy massage parlours, who is still in business, when are they open, what do they charge and when is the best time to go etc. a lot of the stuff on the internet is well out of date because of Covid, the war in ukraine and the food/fuel crisis in europe right now.
Already done, just look through the videos
Great information 👍
Like the way that one sign toward the end showed their hours open in military time
Hi Daz first time viewer , and it's just what I wanted to know I'm going there for the first time ever , in July is it too hot in july
About 30 C but can have rain sometimes
Cheers mate
It's about right..I always budget 5000 BHT a day for trips but bring 10,000.justin case... Even if you said 80 a beer it's only a few BHT on the day..
The killer that nobody thinks about is the tirak costs when you LT them... That can add 1000s a day ...
Best to just ST them and max 2 drinks..
Walking st and any Gogo's will soon fleece you when the little cute sharks start tickling your fancy.. 😂😂
Yep your spot on with the chart , I allow for £100 a day but sometimes I spend a lot less as I don’t Bar fine everyday these days but when I do I use my regular ladies who I always get on well with 👍
Mate another great video 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
November is low or high season Daz?
Start of High Season
Apart from the beautiful women, what I love most about Pattaya is the food, not once did get sick, or have crook guts like do in Oz, everything I ate was top notch, clean (not processed) and well priced both western and thai food. And the banana frappas at the Copperspoon 10/10. Heading back mid 2024 for 2 mths, Counting the days.
555 don't eat the mussels/oysters from the bay served on the seaside restaurants on Walking Street...28 years ago...(damn...I've been going there a longtime) I had some delicious mussels...felt great on the trip...got home and had the sweats...and was sh*tting like a goose for 1 month..finally went to the doctor...and it was some bacteria from the mussels...even with antibiotics it took 6 months to get over it...haven't touch a mussel since 555
What is the best time of year to visit Thailand? When is the weather nicest?
December to March
Hmmmm...I struggled to survive on 4k baht per day back in the late 90's...More realistic spend for me now would be 12-15k per day including accomodation.
Leaving flights and hotels aside. I allow 10,000B per day and on recent trip spent 7500 per day...2 x STs, massage, food, drinks.
HI Daz Txs for Information what is prices LT and what place you recommend
Not easy to find any more with a looker, !
That place called hunger pangs does a good burger and a beer from 4-5 for a great price
Are the safety boxes in the room secure to use in a small guest house? Always worries me so always used bigger hotels with safety boxes behind reception . Flipper house Soi 7 always been my go to …
About beer prices. You should tell that what you get for 70 bath is no more than a small bottle (33 cl) which is quite expensive I think.
Go to 7/11 and stay in your flea pit room then...easy
Lol This is exactly where I have been staying for the last month, I would say this is exactly right
Will watch this video after work.. im coming start of november, was just wandering if that month is still in low season?
High Season starts on 1st Nov
Most advantage is the girls attitude ( bar girls ratio heavy off balance with customer ) serve you better
Just had 2 friends come back from travelling threw asia for the last 2 months , they went to cambodia ,vietnam and Thailand- they finished in pattaya and couldn't wait to get there as this had been on there bucket list for a very long time but they said they wouldn't go back or recommend anyone to go there on holidays as it was crazy the price some ladys were asking and many wouldn't negotiate atal! One of them was quoted on soi 6 at 12 o clock at night 2500 for st and 4500 for lt even though the bar closed at 1 o clock ! They said they tried to negotiate but the girl simply said if you dont want to pay go somewhere else 😂 , I think this attitude by ladys and these prices are gonna be the downfall of pattaya as I have seen a lot of people commenting on other videos saying how there not interested in going back due to similar situations.
They said a lot of bars they visited had the same attitude and even though it was quiet they wernt made feel welcome atal , not every bar they said was like this as some were very good but they said they would recommend Vietnam for a better service all round
unfortunately your friends had a bad experience and their lack of Pattaya knowledge let them down (no offence intended at all) personally i would never go to soi 6 late at night and there are so many options that would have been far better, places like soi pothole or LK metro would have been 100% more fun and the gentleman's clubs on soi boomerang would have given them an unforgettable experience for no more than the price of a few beers
Thanks again for your impartial uploads Could you do a review on dentists and general prices? I know this will be popular uk prices now are a rip off if you be seen. Thanks
