Good newbie advice list Trev. First timers I do suggest staying in Central Pattaya, there are a few sois off 2nd Rd in the center that are quiet. Important to be on the Baht bus route. Daytime, lots of things to do, such as beach chair/umbrella time and for sure try some foot massages in the comfy chairs inside the AirCon shops. Money, bring crisp large bills such as $100 (better rates) and use the yellow exchange kiosks (no need for ATM) as needed. Yes to keeping small money in separate pocket. You will always need the smaller bills for street food, rides, etc.

From 2nd road you can walk soi 6 to beach rd or get a baht bus round the block. Soi 7/8 walk back up turn left or right cross the road walk to soi bakaow finsh night somewhere and bolt taxi home/ or last secret bar till 5.00 am.

Medical insurance, important, hospitals here are a 'business' before anything else and before you know your bill will amaze you. Also if staying longer term and your room/condo etc is plus electricity, always ask to see your meter for the room, take a photo of it with your phone and as the rate, domestic rate is about 4 baht and business rate about 7 baht, if there is no meter for your room, you're going to get scammed. Also if considering staying long term, always book 1 month first in case you don't like it or noisy etc, if you pay long term up front and you dont like it you will not get your money back, also if there's any damage they will very quickly keep any deposit, blaming you for the damage.

Have to say the bar is great, really good service and very friendly people, both staff and customers, so will definitely be coming in again next time out I'm in November. Re the Ladyboys, had a great laugh and chat with one on Saturday on Soi 7 who had been calling for me to come in for a drink all week without the grabbing and pulling about of some other bar staff on the Soi who literally tried to drag me in more than once! Thought I owed her a drink for the respect shown in the approach. I did get propositioned but my usual get out line works really well without causing any offence which is that I have a partner back home who I am faithful to and thanks for the offer which is really flattering.

Remember my first time stayed Pullman North Pattaya. Nice hotel and for anyone looking at quieter areas, certainly up North is. Second time Avani, I think that's when I realised just how compact & easy to get to everywhere. From there went looking for Treetown, so easy now. On way to Treetown pass everywhere, Soi Pothole, LK Metro, Soi Buakhao etc. From that position at Avani & Amethyst areas, only 20 mins walk to walking street & areas are great. My biggest wake up was tipping. On my first visit, to give 100 baht tip everywhere was just normal for me. However, to splash money so much can come across as bragging. Tip by all means 30 to 50, acting like money no object can be annoying to some. I remember went in a bar in Pattaya, tried to tip 100 to this girl serving me, was actually at Buzzin Bar. Got hand slapped, she put 100 back in my wallet & took 20.

Having lived in Pattaya for almost 3 years, this 100% on point. With the ladyboys, I would tell them I'm on my way back to my room where my gf is waiting for me. Then I would compliment them on how beautiful and sexy they were. That seemed to work pretty good. I got a foot massage by a ladyboy who was hilarious, and gave a great professional foot massage. She made me promise that if I ever wanted to try a ladyboy, that it had to be her...lol I'm planning on retiring this summer in Pattaya for a second time...long story. SMH Can't wait to go back.

Hi Trev, have I missed something. Did you have a bar in Treetown? I went to the escape and there was a few people drinking out the front but upstairs and out the back was closed.

When you get off the plane in Bangkok where is the best place to exchange money? Are there places in the airport?

Downstairs has a good exchange booth

Follow signs downstairs to the train . Don’t choose the first one you see. Go down the ramp and then go to the left side. I forget the name but there’s a place a few booths down that has pretty good rates

Good tips. Would add being a Techy person, get a Thai mobile SIM and a cheep phone. Made point in UK to get a second-hand phone from CEX before I came over. (2nd hand phones in Tukcom from 1500THB). That way you can keep your Thai Apps seperate, especially if your UK phone is used for UK Banking or other financial sensitive Apps. Have a mate who used Line on his UK mobile to contact the girls whilst on a lads "Golfing Holiday", couple of weeks later kept getting pinged with "I miss you, send me money" txt's. His UK GF wasn't best pleased. Just saying.

I found that exchanging money in Pattaya was good as they accept less than perfect notes. Bangkok knocked a few of my notes back. Also get yourself a WISE or Revolut card. Better rates than cash.

Whatever you do, don’t get into an altercation with the orange vest motorbike taxis. A few years back, a couple guys I was with got their asses kicked by about 10 of them all at once. It started out really innocent, one of the taxi guys rolled his bike’s back tire over the foot of one of the guys with me. It didn’t hurt his foot in anyway, and the Thai taxi guy was very sorry about it. But the guy I was with was drunk, and he turned the whole thing into a shouting and shoving match, and his friend joined in too. So it was 2 American guys against 1 Thai taxi guy, and the Thai guy left. I thought that was the end of it, but about 10 minutes later, these two guys got jumped. I didn’t see it happen as I had stopped into a bar and they had went on to another one. Anyway, their faces were all cut up and bruised. So beware. Don’t get drunk and start picking fights, it’s not going to end well for you.

With the money I think you should only carry what you need for the night no credit cards, If you are new take a bit more but over time you get to know how much. As this stops you over spend and lose all your money but also helps stop that compulsive spend. The worst thing that can happen is going back to the hotel for more cash.
