NEW to The Ladyboy Forums?

[kahuna]

Welcome...

Pattaya is heaven all year...

From about June through October or so is the rainy season and the low season...But tropical rain...
Meaning it doesn't rain all day...usually brief downpours...and still very warm...and very very nice...

Post your dates in the Calendar Forum after you book your trip and I'm certain many BMs will be here...
and we always enjoy helping the new guy find his way around...

Cheers,

Kahuna

Welcome rich55!

Kahuna pretty much gave you the run down on the weather you can expect.

Board members are generally a friendly lot, and will be happy to meet and share information when you meet them in LOS.

You probably know a lot already from reading the forums - but real life is so much better!

    you call this real life?      

High season (now) has morphed into low season, god knows what we can expect when the "quiet" times arrive.

Rather than the tropical rain my complaint is the heat of the dry season, which is actually the wet season. The wet season aka the monsoon season that is finishing now can be very humid. And it can be very pleasant.

If none of that makes any sense, just remember that on any day of the year it can piss down raining, it can be stinking hot, it can be pleasant tropical conditions & that is all before lunch.

The weather of the world has gone to hell in a handbasket & Thailand is no different.

Take your chances rich55 & come any time you can. And welcome to the forum by the way...

What?


Pattaya has a tropical wet and dry climate, which is divided into the following seasons: warm and dry (November to February),
hot and humid (March to May), and hot and rainy (June to October).

Interesting, several of us had a conversation last evening about the weather...Although is was a brief conversation (we were more interested in
ladyboy cock and ass) and no one could recall any rain here since November...We have experienced pleasant warm days and cool evenings...
Although it's warming up a bit now...

To be precise Thailand has 4 season
Hot, Hotter, Wet, Wetter
There is also a cold season but since its normally one week long its rarely listed (this year it was 3 weeks, a record !!!)
June-July is Wet
Aug-October is Wetter
The monsoon rains usually come 3-4 times a week, and then for 2 hours its like pouring a bucket of water over your head (which we also do in April, but thats another story).
In short come whenever you can, the girls will be here, and 90% of the time its fine (and when its wet, just stay in your room with a girl)

Hello Rich55,

Welcome to the forum.      

As the others said above:-      June to October   -  Rain

What to Expect During Thailand's Rainy Season
No rain for a week at a time
Night rain and clear days
Torrential rains that last 30 minutes to 2 hours, then clearing and sun
Overcast days with little to no rain
Two to three days of partial day rain in a week is, especially later in the rainy season.

When it does rain it can either be a short lived inconvenience or a longer lived pain in the arse  -  it's hard to say. It's rarely a pain in the arse though.


If your travel times are flexible (from your post I guess they are)  I would say that the price of the airfare is a bigger factor than the weather.

Early June the fares are normally fairly high but not crazy like in July/August. In late September and through October they usually drop down a lot.
Hotel prices generally follow the same trend.

Booking early on airfares (60 days before or 30 days before travel) usually gets you a decent discount. (Use an internet website to get the best deals.)
Otherwise if you are really brave and flexible book at the last minute  -  though as this is a one off for you I don't recommend it.
Hotels  -  work out a budget and do some searching on the forum.

RR.

Hello Rich,
Sounds like we are both in the same boat. I too am finishing up school this year and plan on traveling to LOS as a little graduation present to myself. I plan on traveling sometime in June, I am a newbie to the Pattaya scene so it would be cool to have some buds to share a beer or two with while I am there.

[Stogie]

Erm... apart from the rain, is there anything else he should know?

[Snick]

Don't fall in Love
Don't trust anything you are told
Check the age on ID cards.
Travel light, you can buy anything here cheap
If you are here for more than a week, buy a local mobile phone and number

Be aware of Thai laws
1) There are no laws
2) don't say anything about the king
3) You must buy Snick drinks

Have fun. And do not limit your first trip to Thailand to just Pattaya.

[robbo]

no you need to know nothing in LOS except where to buy lube and condoms oh and dont forget to eat sometimes,sleeps optional.

[robbo]

personally on reflection i wouldnt want too much info on where n what on my first trip.
My first time in BKK i got dumped at hotel (way over other side of khaosan rd,samsen rd if anybody knows the area) didnt know a soul was overwhelmed by the bustle ,learnt by some hard knocks and found out most stuff by myself,great experience by yourself within 4 weeks id moved on to sukhumvit then pattaya then flew via u tapao to samui then phuket then BKK...........fantastic on your own.

[PigDogg]

My main input is to stay as long as possible since your big expense is the airfare.

Monthly room rent in Pattaya is cheap and so is food.

So stay from June until October.

Have fun!

[Stogie]

...and bring an umbrella?

[robbo]

havnt even bothered with that one before stogie.......whenever i get caught in it ive shared a lovley thai girls for a few baht,imagine trying to do that in london.........probably get a poke in the eye for your cheek! got caught in downpour 3 years ago fuck did it rain all night up to my knee down my soi. my gg eventually made it to my hotel at 2.30 am..........with soaked friend.......naturally they both had to stay the night and i only had the one bed . lifes tough sometimes!

Fall in love every night...Just make sure you fall out of love every morning...
Believe everything you are told...Ladyboys never lie...
While checking the age also check the photo...If her cock is exposed, chances are it's a fake ID...
Yep, everything is available here including very expensive suitcases to carry all the shit you bought home...
Buy the phone and sim, just don't give the number to any girls...Calls at 4 am when you have your cock stuck in another girl can be annoying...

Indeed, be aware of Thai laws...Stay away from illegal drugs...Prostitution is also illegal, as is porn and...
Right, don't ever say anything about the.............
Don't ever trust Snick...Buy Kahuna drinks...

Have fun and trust the Pattaya based BMs...If you want ladyboys, there is no other place you need to go in Thailand but Pattaya...
