Pattaya Thailand, Mistakes to Avoid Part 2

[@elkarlos814]

I live in SW Costa Rica where scamming tourists is an art form, so I am fairly wise to that World and recently spent a couple weeks in the Kingdom. The person I was visiting and his Thai girlfriend pretty much explained everything you mention in your videos and made my Adventure free of BS. You do an excellent job of bringing things to light and not appearing jaded or hateful of the culture, which many ex-pats are. Thank you for that. My opinion has always been: Be the hustler, not the hustled and it has served me well in my travels. Keep up the good videos! Cheers.

[@pakroc665]

The food in Terminal 21 may be cheap but the portions are very small and you have to use a taxi or baht bus to get there, I think the food court in Centeral Festival has bigger portions and u can just walk there if you stay near the "bar areas".

I'll even take it a step further.. I am an older man. 55. But I keep in very good shape. I dress sharply and shower sometimes twice a day. I smell good and I look good for my age. I've had times when an obvious 8-9/10 girl wouldn't even have a LD with me... Had too many other prospects, maybe thought i was too old, is making plenty of money etc etc.. It's the new times in Pattaya.BKK.

[@keef6586]

You’re boasting about showering “sometimes” twice a day. Should be the bare minimum.

[@hectorjones5780]

Do you try to flag girls as they pass by or ask the staff to flag one of the dancing girls for a drink and the.are refusing? Is this happen at all the go-gos, or only the top go-go places (pinup, xs-gogo, Fahrenheit, etc.)?

[@LukeLoewen]

@@hectorjones5780 so first off I’m not saying it’s always happening. But it’s become more frequent. And yes it’s usually in the higher end Gogo’s. The last time I flagged the mamasan who went to the girl who refused… also don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t want them forced to have a drink.. I’m just noticing this occurring and I don’t think it happened as much pre Covid. This was one point the producer of this video was making.

I've been in Pattaya for three days now. Met this stunning bar girl who knew exactly what I liked, said all the right things and treated me like a gem. I fell inlove.** BUT** THEN I REMEMBERED THAT IM A BUTTERFLY AND I GOT THE HELL OUT OF DODGE!! Hotel Pattaya - "You can check out any time you like But you can never leave" Will always remember your advice THANK YOU haha

[@MrGman2804]

Daz, it's fascinating what you describe about 'Drinks Queens' and many girls disappearing to work online. Being here at the moment, this has been my precise experience. Good looking girls are scarce and consequently charging significantly more. Well in excess of double 2020 prices for the same level of girl ...by the time you take the whole thing into the equation, including BF, & the fact that the girls seem to be drinking the 190THB 'lady drinks' at an indecent pace, so you have to keep buying more and more. Pattaya has changed with this shortage of 'attractive' girls, and the explanation of them going online seems to tally up. Some bloke on another channel yesterday tried to blame it on me because I was an 'old timer'. In fact I was directly comparing to only 3 years ago and I do look after myself, so that is not the case. People need to take heed of your comments, and decide if they feel 'lucky'.. And on the lunatic driving, again I agree. I always walk into the direction of traffic to see what is coming. That doesn't work here as scooters happily ride in the gutter on the wrong side of the road. In many Soi's, there is no pavement, so as a pedestrian you are very vulnerable to looney drivers. Still, it is warm & sunny. Very much enjoy the channel, because you tell it like it is.

[@everythingPattaya]

Thanks for your input

Shopping mall food up at the top, maybe to do with the fire safety regulations as here in the Uk, so people can escape by go down away from the fire, it’s safer than having food cooked at the bottom of the mall Plus the smell of food rising up into other shops above and terminating clothing that sells them.

Great advice again Daz!! Once many years ago, in an extremely popular and packed Nana Plaza gogo, I wanted to take an insanely good looking gogo girl for the evening. I made the mistake of giving the barfine to one of the waitresses because it was heaving busy and wanted to get out relatively quickly and when I went to leave with my date, the waitress claimed she 'dropped/lost the barfine on the floor' and I had to the pay the barfine to the mamasan again. All manner of scams running in the gogo bar scene. Don't get plastered drunk and keep your head on a swivel if you want to take a lady for the evening is my advice!

Daz, if any man who visits Thailand after all your horror stories and all the advise you have vlogged here in KZbin, who still manages to find themselves cheated out of money from a Thai BAR girl, they either purely stupid, or insanely stupid. Most likely a combination of both. Thanks for all you do

[@MrGman2804]

The prices going up so much is not cheating, it just significantly alters the supply and demand equation and this vlog is trying to make people aware of the new normal.

[@onedge1176]

555. Most think they are smarter than the average bar girl and they are until full of alcohol and the blood leaves the brains headed to the groin area. I live here (currently home) and the arrogance of most of the girls is amazing. They honestly think honey rules money and if you are desperate, a 2 wk millionaire and brain dead it does. I've only been going 15 yrs and seen amazing changes. Many of my mates have been going way longer and the stories they tell speak of a paradise lost. It's still hard to beat though. Just need to be smart and patient. The looming world recession will restore things.

[@garys5540]

@@onedge1176 Great point. Thanks for sharing. I just find it hard to believe that anyone would fall for these girls knowing what they do for a living. Granted we all need them, but to be used by them is whole another story.

[@MrGman2804]

@@onedge1176 Yes, you make some good points. There probably will be a global recession, but will it fix it? The way I understand what Daz is saying is it is a combination of factors. a) shortage of nicer ones as many who were here have not come back b) so bars have to pay more to retain a credible line-up and c) all the girl then has to do is gouge a few lady drinks and half the time they then have enough money for their needs, and don't want/ need to be bf'd.Those that do need to to be BF'd know there is a shortage, and so are price gouging that. If someone like me walks away, they don't care, as they know someone else will be along later. I think Daz is very astute and has obviously put the whole thing together by doing his groundwork, and using his experience etc and I think he has got it absolutely spot on. I have a mate who lives here full time and has done for years, and his analysis is similar. On top of this, other girls have figured out they don't need to stand in a bar all day, they can just put a profile on a dating app, and get all the business they need that way. I fear this is all the 'new normal' rather than a passing phase. I would prefer it was a passing phase, but I am not so sure. A lot of guys, even the multi-repeat visitors will have two choices. Stay in their room or pay the new prices. Time will tell.

On my first trip, I made the mistake of paying in full up front for long time with a gogo girl in Chiang Mai (yes, they do have one or two gogo bars there or they did at the time). Got one pop in when we went back to the room, then we snuggled up and watched TV for a bit.

This Terminal 21 is kitsch central, a mini Las Vegas strip! You've got a Tour Eiffel, a Leaning Tower of Pisa and a Golden Gate Bridge among the attractions. (Being an Australian I was more than a little disappointed that the Sydney Opera House didn't also feature). The original Terminal 21 is on the corner of Soi 21 and Sukhumvit in BKK of course and within spitting distance of Soi Cowboy. Yep, good advice there, Daz, about avoiding like the plague illegal drugs and jet-skis when in Thai. I would also recommend that new arrivals avoid overly pushy bar hostesses along with predatory ladyboys. You can certainly watch your back and still have a great time...

[@dougmurphy1777]

While I'm sure the problem is especially bad in Thailand, wherever you go the highest concentration of pedestrian fatalities is at designated pedestrian crossings - the reason being that people don't think to look before crossing at a designated pedestrian crossing.

[@hectorjones5780]

To guard against this, implement the rule of "one drink per girl", so don't buy more than one drink per girl no matter what, by then you should know what is she about. Another rule, "No Tequila", tell her you have a bottle of tequila in the room.

[@j.t.r1409]

We will be studying the effects of Covid and the workforce for the next 3 years. It was a real game changer. A friend told me of a mixed Thai-Canadian girl who makes so much money on the websites now that she only needs to work 2 hours a day on average, doesn't leave her apartment unless she goes to a restaurant or shopping. She had to hire a full time assistant to handle her scheduling and customers. Good for her. I think the price of "B" level talent will go up, which then impacts the whole industry. And if you're "C" level, you're then motivated to get the cosmetic surgery to make it into the "B" level money. So....buy cosmetic surgery product company stock now! haha

[@trentlee8873]

would like to comment on a few of the mistakes - zebra crossings - these are a good idea. when your pedestrian light goes green make sure you still look as you cross the road - 3/4 of the cars/bikes will stop. continue visually looking at the road as you cross, and just allow the idiots through if they ride/drive past the red light pay up front girls - ive never experienced this myself, but i am assuming this only happens in high end gogo bars? my advice is never talk to a mamason period . only talk/negotiate with the girl. I advise these days only going for short time with a girl. negotiate a time of say 1-3 hours or so. if you want long time negotiate with the girl what you want, and not want to do etc jetskis/motorcycle rent - Never touch a jet-ski in thailand ever PERIOD! if staying in Pattaya you do not require your own transport, they have bolt app, and 10 baht buses, not worth the hassle of traveling around on a motorcycle. if you get into any kind of accident, being a farang you will always be at fault. leading a girl on - always tell the girl the truth, they have a connection of information. if you say you have to travel back home, and their friend sees you, that could lead to girl drama and problem in that bar. best to be upfront, say you're a butterfly and have fun. Do not get attached !!! and dont fall in love hehe
