Coming to Pattaya then make sure you don’t make these mistakes.

I explain common mistakes that are made visiting pattaya and well as offer solutions!
Visiting Pattaya, Thailand requires being mindful of a few key considerations. First and foremost, it's important to exercise caution and discretion, as the city's infamous nightlife scene can cater to more adult-oriented interests.
Travelers should be aware of their surroundings and avoid engaging in any unethical or illegal activities. Additionally, understanding the local customs and etiquette is crucial to having a respectful and enjoyable experience.
Be prepared for bustling crowds, aggressive touts, and potential language barriers. It's also wise to research accommodation options carefully and ensure your safety, especially when venturing out at night. With the right mindset and preparation, Pattaya can be an exhilarating destination to explore.

I think the 15,000 baht per day budget is absurd. That's $413 USD a day for 15 days, for a total of $6,195. Add to that the flight and hotel and we are talking serious money. You can have fun in Pattaya for a lot less.

[@nevvi4766]

The mobile phone kiosks in the Avenue are always excellent and economical they only sell you the minimum coverage you need..I always get them to put my normal sim back in before I leave for the airport coming home then put the phone in flight mode until back in Australia . always works out perfect. They are just behind Starbucks. The Avenue 2nd Rd.

You can have fun for less but likewise you can still have a great time on that budget of 15,000B

@@Buzzinpattaya Sure, if you have a six figure income you can have one hell of a time in Pattaya. However, I don't think most blokes who watch this channel fall into that category.

[@SpeedyBlueBiker1]

I still advise to those that are new or newer to Pattaya (and this can be applied to Bangkok, Phuket, and elsewhere) to only book a hotel for three nights. That way if you don't like the place you are at for any reason you can easily change hotels using whatever booking site you use. If you do like the place you are at, no problem. Just re-book.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Being bored? No way with me. I'm a gym junkie,aged 78. Always book cheap hotels near a well equipped gym such as Sun Fitness on Soi Bukhauo. Following my morning workout, have a good breakfast eg at the Hungry Hippo, relax by people watching on their small veranda, then go for a massage, followed by afternoon nap in my hotel. Wake up, fiddle around on my laptop, emails etc. Late afternoon walkabout, good supper, maybe another massage, followed by dating such as at a beer bar. BTW I don't drink, will buy lady drinks, and so to bed either alone or with company. If alone, have ensured a hotel with either good English channels on TV or Fight Club for boxing. BTW2, don't like swimming pools either and enjoy 3 - 4 weeks spending as per your budget. Well done lad.

Nam’s Taxi: 1200 baht in a nice clean Camry; route from BKK to Pattaya. Hotel: LK Metropole; deluxe room is actually two rooms; a living area and a separate bedroom with full kitchen.

It's amazing the number of people who come here and don't do simple Google searches, there is absolutely no excuse these days. So last week I got on an empty Baht bus at Soi Buakhao/lenke. 4 shirtless English lads knocked on the drivers window and one said 'Koh Larn, can you take us to Koh Larn'. Another one then chirped in 'we want go Koh Larn'. It took about 30 seconds for the driver to just get pissed off and drive away. I mean this is simple, simple stuff.

Thanks, Trev Great tips and advice. One tip I have is: " Enjoy the restaurants, shopping and markets close to your Hotel. BUT walk far away from your Hotel to do the BF /ST thing. I have heard many stories about a tourist who met a girl on his first day in the Bar across the street.....Unfortunately, that girl is now going to see him with every other girl he meets and trust me if a Bar girl thinks she has lost face you are in physical danger !

[@Buzzinpattaya]

[@manosparavida3551]

I once tried to give a Scotsman the very same advice, he didn't listen. Ended up marrying her and spending £15,000 on building a house in Isaan and when I returned to Pattaya 6 months later and asked the bar owner about the Scotsman, he explained all of the aforementioned and explained that the relationship was now over and he was back working on the oil rigs in the North sea. This was about March 2010 in The Mr Bean bar in New Plaza when I gave the advice. It was the only bar he'd used in the whole of Pattaya and his 1st time in Thailand, yet he told me that he knew what he was doing 🤣 It would cost him twice that now, so in a roundabout way, he's got off lightly.

Good video Trev. I agree with all the points you raised. To get the most "bang for your buck" in Patts and you enjoy drinking with the ladies, which is a lot of fun, you need to "splash the cash" and B10k works in most cases.

[@pqfboxing358]

If you arrive at Don Mueang airport, take a taxi to Suvarnabhumi Airport and from there take the bus to Pattaya for like 200 baht. If you want to take a taxi all the way, it's also fine and should cost about 1200-1500 baht. First step to do at Suvarnabhumi Airport is to walk around and find the best rate to exchange your money. Change about half your budget, or enough for about a week. The rest you can do in Pattaya as needed, no problem. Step 2, get a sim card at the airport for your phone and make sure it works. Step 3, it's time to take the bus. Have fun.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

After a long-haul journey I just don't think I could do that

[@JackJones-ym8it]

Best place to exchange money at BKK airport, basement floor. Super rich money exchange booth, will see loads of Thais there, so that's tell you something. Do not !!! Do it at those rip off ex booths you see as soon as you clear immigration...

[@portlandGTR]

Exchange rate simplified: Baht is times 3 so figure 2,000 baht multiply by 3 gives you roughly $60.00. Or 300 baht is roughly $9.00 and for the Philippines peso it’s times 2 so 2000 peso gives you $40.00 or 200 peso gives you around $4.00 Celsius you double it and add 25, so for instance it’s 25°C you double it and that’s 50, then add 25 and you get 75°F. For hotels in square meters you multiply by 10 to get the square feet. So 31 square meters is about 310 square feet. Times 3 on the baht, times 2 on the Peso, and times 10 on square meters

I get my SIM at the airport, D-TAC. for 300THB. It lasts me my 2 weeks easily, using maps on the go as well; it's competitive and they set it all up for you. For taxis, as many vet's say, Nams is the best price. I have stopped using Mr Ko. I suffered him letting me down at the last minute. I have been touted at the airport, and had 2 successful rides to Patts for 1300thb, so just waiting for a lady to approach you is ok. She put me in an orange taxi anyway, so the driver was possibly off shift, or whatever, just making a bit extra. I've used the bus, and that's ok too, apart from a wee hassle of another taxi or bike, with your case, to your hotel.

Another thing you can do instead of the bus from the airport is sometimes it is two hours between buses is take the airport rail connector to phaya tai and then take the bts to the ekamai bus station where there is a bus at least every hour sometimes even more frequent.

As usual you have e given some good advice in this video. I even learnt something new as I didn’t know that standing on those Baht buses was illegal. If it was illegal then why were they designed that way? By the way, you were too judgmental in your narrative regarding transport. Not everyone that comes to Pattaya is a 2 week millionaire. You were concluding that people are supposed to start taking taxi’s because of their long flight to Thailand. My trips are now longer (4 to 5 weeks) and I don’t need to rush to Pattaya on arrival. It means I can take advantage of the cheaper bus and money saved could equate to 3 massage sessions or even 1 or 2 days hotel rate. Another advantage of bus travel is the opportunity for more social interaction with others which could just enhance your holiday experience. This has happened to me twice and the most recent has led for this stunner Swede coming to visit me in London! I so much love Thailand and its opportunities.

Obviously you have not travelled before. If you choose to take a bus you will first take a taxi or bolt to the bus stop from the airport, 15-20mins depending on traffic, then you will lineup and get a bus ticket, depending on how long the wait is before the next bus leaves you may wait from 5mins-30mins or longer if tickets are bought out, then 2 hours later the bus arrives to the terminal in patts, then you get a taxi or bolt to your hotel. Total time is a lot more than 2 hours LOL compared to a 1.5 hour taxi from aiport straight to your hotel in patts. Its obvious which option is best for someone that just took a 10+ hour flight

Yes, it's the same set up as Grab. Put your trip in and the price comes up. You can get cancelled by them, reason unknown (maybe they got a better offer) and you can get a call saying "I want/need more money." LOL, if it's peak times, or heavy traffic, unsociable hours. It happened to me and I just cancelled him and re-booked. The country I live in, they don't like the short runs. Other than that, either bike or car, it's good.

You can get a 60 day tourist visa online now. Costs about 180USD. You fill in an online form and upload things like a photo, a copy of your passport, and an image of a bank statement showing you have some money available. If the embassy is happy with everything it emails you the visa within about a week. I have just gone through this exact process and got a 60 day visa. Other than the cost it was reasonably painless. I got my visa from New Zealand. This online process only came in during March of this year. You must use the visa you get within 2 months or it becomes invalid. Cheers y'all.

I'm here now on 60 day e-visa from USA. It's $40 u.s. paid by credit card when you apply. Fairly simple. When it's approved you print the approval and show it at customs when you arrive. Easy. You do not need full hotel list, just for the day you arrive.

I got a sim for 15 days from 7/11 which suited me perfectly for the short time I was there. I spent up big and stayed at the hard Rock on the reserved floors.. you get what you pay for... although it was a bit far away from Walking street. it was just a short walk to soi 6. I think it was a 20 minute walk to the buzzin lounge including being grabbed by all the girls as you walk past the bars. I would also advise grabbing a good firewall for your phone/Tablet/laptop as I was hacked and lost $2000aud. I also lost a bank card because of that money first card last thing. I worked on a budget of 5000 baht a day.. with any remainder being bounced into the next day.. but I'm not a huge drinker and was more a regular tourist than just a bar tourist.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Nice one

[@stevek343]

I was in Pattaya back in late January and I wanted to stop in your bar and just have a beer and hopefully say hello to you, the only thing that stopped me was the lady's standing in front which I was kinda intimidated by then thinking they would bombard me for money so I basically chickened out and didn't go inside. 😅

[@Buzzinpattaya]

shame mate, 100% that doesn't happen ever, they just get you a drink and a cold towel

[@HelloImNotJohnnyCash]

@@Buzzinpattaya those cold towels are a the greatest gift after walking to the Buzzin Lounge.

[@SoybooCow]

If you're intimidated by the lovely, passive Buzzettes, don't go to Soi 6, you'll sh*t yourself🤣🤣🤣

[@JohnBailey-wz5wv]

Was in Pataya for just five nights in March, used it as a stopover on my way to Australia. Arrived in the Buzzin lounge and was made to feel really welcome, Boom and Ying were so lovely and helped make my visit enjoyable and that was just playing dice and pool. Will be back in November/December hopefully.

[@HelloImNotJohnnyCash]

@@SoybooCow bwahaha thats for sure... Michael took us through there after a pub crawl and it was a real eye opener.. 🤣

[@Buzzinpattaya]

You will be fine mate, you are always welcome, come say hi in Buzzin mate!

I used Nam's also, great taxi. For sim I did the same, go to the store and just get an AIS sim, not expensive at all.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Cheers mate

[@ericisking7]

The bus "it's just adding another 2 hours to your journey" ........ it's not though, is it ? A taxi is not much quicker, unless they have a transporter like the Starship Enterprise to get you there instantly. 143b last time I used it ....... 168b if you book online (not a bad idea as they are often full).

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Indeed mate

[@kevinw3800]

Bell Travel have a bus that links up with transfers to your hotel. The only issue with buses is waiting for the departure times. If your ok with waiting then all is good

[@tradeladder146]

Defo the Bus.

[@pete531]

im against taxis. normal bus is 170 b, and taxi is 1200 or more but the taxi doesnt teleport there. its a 1000 saving we are talking about, thats one FL

10.000 baht daily... Trev, are you ting tong ? i've had an amazing time on 2500 daily including everything while i was there (not plane ticket or visa obviously). i had rich nightlife with many ladies, i have explored many things even outside of the city, even rented a bike and went to sattahip. i had many massages and my guest room was very decent. but i watch where i money goes, no drinking or smoking

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Mate it's just a level. I spend that and have a great time likewise I spend 5k and have a good time. Is just a example

[@martinkenna6735]

Quality budgeting pal

[@VibrantLivingLists]

best rate you can find for ST for anything that is worth doing is 1k, lady drinks cheapest are 150 upto 250 for walking street, your drinks are cheapest 80 for a beer if outside your hotel room then upto 150 and gogos dont have water cheap its all around the 130-150 mark. massages 300-400 for an hour. then we have guest room. sure you might have only spent that but i think we know you are fibbing about "rich nightlife with many ladies"

[@pete531]

@@VibrantLivingLists you dont need to go to walking street to have rich nightlife. i had ladies from soi six 4x, gent club in soi buakhao 1x, soi pothole more than 10x and main soi buakhao a few times, and from soi honey too. and few massage ladies from sai song road. nothing wrong with that. i dont drink so its an orange juice for me which is usually 50 baht, 2 drinks for lady max then i make a decision. for the one at soi 6 i spent 1500 bf + 1500 twice, so its not cheap only

[@mjs90201]

I'm not sure whether you said LK Residence or LK President is not near a baht bus route, but the map I found suggests they both are. Is the baht bus route on 3rd road not active or nonexistent? ...I suspect the map I found is faulty because it shows no baht bus route on Soi Buakhao which you later mentioned.🙂

[@Potterthepattayaperv]

I normally use Tanns taxis, she is very good and even waited once for approx 2 hours for me when my flight was delayed I think she charges 1200 baht, however her drivers can charge 100 baht more. Which is at the end of the day is only just over £1.00. So if they do overcharge by £1.00, dont give them a tip. Up to you, of course.

[@Potterthepattayaperv]

10 t0 15000 baht a day?? Really Trev I pay my lady 1500 baht a day, she also pays for the occasional meal for me as well. I have been seeing her for the last five years though, and no I don't pay a barfine for her either even though she does work for a bar they are very flexible with her. 😊

I wished they had an updated Baht bus routes. I know beach road is 1 way. Soi Buakhao, the bus goes both directions, but I hear in the future Soi Buakhao might be 1 way street. I know about that 2nd road 1 way route, opposite of Beach Road. Then I saw a baht Bus, going down Soi Diana, but I don't know the entire route. I never got on a Terminal 21 baht bus.
