IS THIS THE CHEAPEST SOI IN PATTAYA?

[@georgeg2702]

Great video and brought back good memories - I was in Pattaya late 2022 (Dive bar for Halloween in fact 😀) and wandered down this soi for a look-see. Ended up having an unexpected great time as I only went to check it out (one of the bars where road splits) 300b bf which was the least I paid so definitely cheaper than other places I went to. I would definitely recommend the soi for value, although from what I saw the girls are mostly more mature (mind you so am I)

[@goodtimes8244]

Hi George, I agree, it’s always worth checking out new areas . Never know what you mind find😀

[@harryinhuahin1272]

Hi Dean, as usual an interesting vlog, and also different to what most other Thai vloggers do... BUT... You might like to pan around a little slower (see especially the shots at the end of New Plaza/2nd Road), and when you decide to pause on a sign give us a second or three to read it... Just a thought... While I'm at it, the motorbike on Buakhao was all blurred which looks to me like a camera-focus issue, as if your phone can't work it out and just gives up... but I still always enjoy what you do.

[@mdubb4855]

But but he’s the friendliest narrator ever and Beer makes me laugh sometimes so there’s that. Agreed, very fuzzy video.

[@Johndoc.]

Love the new layout, Dean....great bar and great prices...🙌🙏

[@goodtimes8244]

Thanks John, last night was really busy and the new seats were popular, I’m very pleased

[@areyouexp4]

great vid - i always stay at the D hotel which is across the street from tis cafe - had many western breakfasts in tis and they were great = 130 baht 2 eggs - bacon or sausage with toast and coffee / tea - and the thai street food carts across the street are great ( can send last nights company for thai food while you do western breakfast 555 ) and the yellow cart has the best pork noodle soup i have ever had = 40 baht

[@gkprivate433]

i used to always stay at D apartment right across the street. Then the last two trips just before COVID I stayed at D hotel. Similar.

[@goodtimes8244]

Hi, good to hear you enjoy the cafe. Great location and great food.

Thanks for the entertaining video mate ! Soi New Plaza is one of my favourites. Looking forward to stop by the new sports bar in May (which wasn't open in January). btw. I do the same calculations as you did in your video (ca. 8:30min) 😂💰🤣🍺😁

Very nice video, Dean. Thank you. I love Beer's laugh. 😀 I'm halfway between Boston and New York City in the North-East area on the US. $54usd would either be your bar drink tab or your dinner around here. 😢 Forget about spending time with a lady. Enjoy your weekend and stay safe. 👍👏👏

Pattaya not as cheap as It used to be as it was before covid, flight prices hotel and girl prices shot up this last year

[@TriggLu]

Was there in November and the prices seem the same as pre COVID in Pattaya , don't really do Gogo bf . Paid £1100 for flight on Emirates from Manchester England , going back end of April £850 same Emirates .

[@goodtimes8244]

Hi Kris, I think except the airfares, many bars and restaurants and girls are same price as pre Covid if you shop around

[@davids736]

Yawn.....😉

[@mmaranta785]

I think during Covid, the hot girls went online and became camgirls. This has been happening all over the world.

[@MrR14Z67]

Cost of a company and airfares have certainly gone up, but the rest is about still the same as pre covid, according to my experience.

[@Ozboyz60]

Great to the see the “day” vs “night” perspective! Thanks 😎🙏🏼🥂

[@goodtimes8244]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@keef6586]

I thought Sharples had opened in Bentleys in Pratumnak Soi 5 and not opening there? Great info Dean and good to see that area showing signs of coming back to life. Respect to you for promoting other Sois and not just highlighting where you work.

[@goodtimes8244]

Hi Keef, I thought that too, but looks like they are doing both now.
