Tip. When walking into a Gogo bar in Thailand or any bar for that matter and the girls approach you that you don't really fancy or ask you to buy them a drink. Smile and Politely tell them you still looking and they will get the picture and leave.

After watching this , it turned out to be my wake up call. I met a woman on Thai Cupid and believed a young woman at 27 could fall for a 60 year old man. What a “fantasy” I was wrapped up in. Thanks Peter, you saved me a world of emotional and potentially financial pain!!..

Hi Tracy, it's just as much fun for girls as it is for the girls. Great country to visit nice people, great culture and good food. What I speak about on my channel is a very small part of what goes on in Thailand and remember I'm trying to entertain people from the UK. Scams are no different from any other part of the world, there not any worse in Thailand! In Bangkok I feel safer walking through Bangkok at 3am in the morning then I do in my own hometown at 3pm and I mean that.

Good advice Peter. I’ve used a prebooked limo service to get from Don Muang to Pattaya a couple of times now (once flying in from Cambodia, once from Burma). Around 1200 to 1400 baht from memory. Happy to not have any hassle and taxis from DM can be a bugger. When travelling into Bangkok From Suvarnabhum I grab a taxi ticket from downstairs. The price is fixed (except for a tip) and I just don’t want to haggle with people after a long flight.

Pattaya is a fantastic town and you will think you've died and gone to heaven if you've never been there before but honestly, I don't think it's going to happen until at least the middle of next year and will it be the same? I doubt it, many of the bars are closing they just can't sustain this long lockdown... but the Thai's are resilient, where somebody fails, somebody else will open up

Top Tips Pete. My first night I bought loads of drinks for me and a bar girl (and her mates) and I was very drunk. When I paid up and left very late I was surprised the bar girl walked out with me ….. I was knackered and drunk and thought she was after me for extra service and money. I told her I just wanted to go home and sleep ….. so she asked me why I had paid her bar fine then??????? I didn't even know I had and didn't know what a bar fine was anyway. And I didn't really fancy her anyway. I still have no idea how much I spent that night but it must have been close on £150 and I only went out for a couple of beers as I was tired from the travelling.

When I was living there in the early 2000's, I had a friend who brought a bargirl home with him, invited her to move in with him, and then decided after a few weeks that things weren't working out. When he told her she had to move out, she grabbed a knife in her hand and held onto the blade. He grabbed the knife out of her hand, which cut her hand, and she smeared her blood all over every single item of clothing he had, and everything in the apartment, walls, stove, mirror, etc. It looked like someone had been brutally killed in his apartment. Lesson: Don't invite a bargirl to move in with you, because you may not like the breakup scene.

The taxi for arrival by going upstairs to the departure area has been forbidden for quite a few years now more than 4? There are one way circular gates that prevent one from catching an outbound taxi who has just let off a customer. This was done because in the arrival area there is an extra 50 baht tax and most taxis wait hours for a customer and they don’t appreciate line skipping.

If someone else is in the room, make sure she doesnt look over your shoulder. One of my friends lost a lot this way. Im sure some of the girls know about this. Usually bar girls will not rob you beacause you xan go back to her bar and complainm. Street walkers are a bigger risk.

Here's an arrival tip: go down and take the Airport Rail Link to Bangkok, 35 thb and then you take a taxi for 60 thb to your hotel from Makkasan station. Also never buy any sim cards in the airport since they charge a lot more. It's cheaper to go to a truemove shop in a mall and add 250 thb budget to the sim that gives you additional free data on topping up. It's enough to last your holiday and doesn't expire after a week.

When arriving I go up to departures and get a taxi into town for 300 baht, job done.

A few people have told me about that, I have never exchanged at the airport (other than £40 for a taxi and a sim card) for a few reasons, firstly I just want to jump in a taxi and get to my hotel, secondly I just don’t know how much I will change up while on holiday and lastly, I don’t mind losing out on a few hundred baht for the connivance of changing up every few days in Soi 4. It is a good point for anyone who is on a very tight budget and wants to maximize their spending money.

There are excellent taxi services with less risk than talking to the Thai taxi drivers at Bangkok airport. Depending on where you go you should do a quick KZbin search but you will be paying the same with a tip and a happy driver instead of a potential scam price. For Pattaya its always 1500 thb for but then the taxi will stop along the way to fill u the tank etc. on your time. I like to use the once that u pay 1200 thb and they drive all the way.

Some very good tips here, although I am not sure about arriving without a booked cab. The service I use from the airport to Pattaya costs 1000, including all tolls and: no speeding, no stopping for fuel or smoke breaks, working aircon that is actually switched on, prepaid card for the tolls so they don't have to stop and can fly through and all women drivers. I have tried just arriving without prebooking before and for me it is always a much worse and much more expensive experience than prebooking one. Besides who wants to start bartering with taxi drivers after a 12 hour flight?

I wanted to show it to a mate of mine. Is that video still on your channel? I couldn't find it. If so what is it called? Still enjoying your videos mate and these advice tips were very good.

The only difference is low season and high season, the prices increase in High season you can look all that up on Google. Other than that I don’t like to be in Thailand during Chinese New Year, any public holidays or Songkran water festival again, all this can be researched on Google.

Hi Peter. Question - I have been to Phuket & Pattaya the last 3 years. The 3 day rule - if I take a bar girl for 3 days - do I give here the bar fine day 2 & 3 to pay the pay or do I go back to the bar myself & pay them instead? In other words - if I pay the girl so she can pay the bar fine to the bar, if she docent pay the bar herself with my money - can the bar go after me? Sorry I took so long to explain it - I haven't had any problems before.

You have to pay her every day and you also have to pay the bar fine every day so let's just say she charged you 1500 and the bar fine was 500 and you had her for 3 days total bill would be 6000

My first Time in thailand, was at the age of 25 in 2005. I arrived in Bangkok (from Canada) at 1am Bangkok Time, after a 24hour flight, with 0 reservation of any kind lol. No smart phone back then... I ended up making a friend at the airport (frenchmen) and I followed him in à taxi. During the drive, my new « friend » and the taxi driver got into a hudge argument because the driver would not start the meter lol almost crashing the taxi on the freeway (was not laughing then... lol ) I stayed 100 days in thailand at the Time (2 visa run + a few overtay days with a fine and a temporary ban from the country). During that time (Best of my Life) I ended up making all the newby mistake and spend about 10 Time the budget ( from 3k to 20k... crazy I Know.. lol ) came with money, went back with a hudge credit card dept and lots of Fun memory... dozen of great memorys... Now at 38 years old, I dream of retirering over there at 50 years old. But if thailand is too extensive I Will go retire in vietnam or cambodia, going in thailand on occasions. I went back in thailand last year with my wife, loved it (not the same trip then before when I was single... but still loved it)

Tysm for the really helpful video, I appreciate it a lot. What I haven’t quite understood is the way to handle Hotels, is it better to just walk in and ask for the price personally than to book online in advance, was that what you were saying? Or the other way round? Again, thanks a lot!
@ThailandBound

No, the best and cheapest way to book any hotel is to book it on Agoda. Even if you walk into a hotel anywhere in Thailand and ask for a room rate it will always be more expensive even if you book it on Agoda from the lobby of the same hotel after asking for a price. I have said to staff many times but I can get it 300 or 400 baht a night cheaper on Agoda and asked them to match it, they never will instead telling me to just book it on Agoda. I have booked rooms in Bangkok on Agoda while standing in the lobby of the hotel, it is a very weird one.

Flipper house for the buffet breakfast. Its worth splashing out the small bit extra for the superior or deluxe rooms though as the standard rooms are quite dated.

Girls will usually carry some latex-like protection with them but it may not fit you. It is not so much the length but the girth. Have a good look at what's available in your home country. You'll see that the difference is mostly the girth and some are actually the same length. If you are a slim bloke then no worries. If you are more substantial in girth then bring your own if you don't want that choking sensation or even not being able to fit into what she offers.

The main tips I'm looking for is how to prepare for that long ass flight. Should i stay up the day before so i sleep mostly or what? Should I take straight flight or break it up? First class has gotta be the way to take a day long flight, do they have beds? Should I pack a lunch? What's the probability of bagging a stewardess and joining the "Mile High Club"? So many questions 🤣🤣

I would put my money into a small pouch with a padlock(on the zipper) or a sealed envelope before I put them inside the room safe. The hotel staff actually have a master key which they can override all the room safe even if U have set your password. They probably won't take all your money but just a few pieces without U noticing it.....
