Forget the Lion Women Bar on Soi 7 I mentioned earlier. The 3 Katoeys disappeared are now replaced by ugly farties. Several bars from last year have closed up entirely or lost their bar Katoeys. Some say they went to Singapore. The loss of Obsessions Pattaya is a big loss. Miss their private curtained lapdance rooms. They were my Smoking Rooms. This year is very depressing, and I have found myself having more fun getting Thai massages (foot massages are an oil mess) and shopping for Tshirts and tank tops is n the Bhukao Day Tent Flea Markets every Tuesdays and Fridays. Other shirt kiosks in City Walk next to Royal Gardens Plaza and around Mike's Shopping Center (under heavy construction with a crane being set up behind. Rooftop pool is closed until next year. So do your hunting on Soi 7 and 5 and Beachwalk across the 7-11 store next to the Hilton. If you're into real girls I see the best looking ones on supper Soi 7 right across the Aussie Bar and further uphill. Avoid the tall Kats next to Aussie Bar. I got into a fight with one of them. Remember avoid the tall older ones. A bit harder to reach their jaws so I have to kick their feet out from under them and crack their faces. You can recognize them. Fake evil smiles or stuck up faces. They want you beg them to buy them a drink. Hahaha. Funny last night I saw a tall 7 foot Popolo (We call them that from our black berry fruits in Hawaii) followed by his Thai date who was a foot and a half shorter. He wasn't holding her hand. She was just following from behind like loyal pet. Then she would walk on his side when there were no cars passing by then it was back behind him. He would occasionally look back to see if she was still there will he was talking to the air in front of him. Funny to watch from behind but sad for the girl. I would have liked to see him put his arm around her and talk directly to her. Show some affection and appreciation for being his faithful girlfriend for the night. Very few black dudes in Pattaya. Do see a few black chickies from Nigeria. They dress very nice and neatly and speak excellent English with genuine smiles. I think you might like a try here. Really surprised and impressed with their beauty. Not like the American black women who are not worth a peek. These Nigerians are petite chicks with nice smiles. Straight clean teeth and small feet in nice shoes. Go ahead and try 'em. Then tell us about your experience and how much they charge for ST. Funny I have never seen any tall black pimps near them. One thing about Pattaya hotels is how receptive to men bringing their guests for the night. This is called 'escort friendly". They require the guests leave their ID's at the desk and take a photos. Then it's off to the races. Afterwards I will see the couples having fun in the swimming pools. Sometimes there would be 4 guys and one Thai gal. Seems she helps them get their laundry delivered or picked up from the cleaners which are everywhere and across the street. Really cheap and overnight service. Use them. Other times she will call her friends for the other lonely men and have a lunch party with bottles of liquor. Am impressed everybody has fun. Never every any cops hotels around to say NO! like in the USA. Love this this free love atmosphere. No problems if you need a date for talking, drinking, or bedding. Heaven on Earth for men. So come on over and wet the bedsheets.

Sounds good to me. I do have a couple of more questions. What I should I carry in my wallet? Credit cards, From what is being said here cash is king and credit cards are only good for hotels, air fares etc. I have all my hotels booked and paid for but I am going to fly down to Phuket from Pattaya for a couple of days but I'm not sure exactly what dates so I am going to need a credit card, And for the unexpected. I have a $5,000 Canadian limit on 1 of my cards and $10,000 on another. I was going to take the $5,000 limit card and leave the other one at home. Or should I bring the $10,000 card? ID. Besides my passport, debit card, my 1 credit card and my health cards I was going to leave everything else at home. Is that enough or should I have a 2nd piece of government issued ID? I am open to any advice or comments. Thanks

I would take more than one bank card. It is very easy for one to get cut off in Thailand, even if you tell the bank first.
Then you can transfer your balances to another card if necessary. There is not really much risk to your leaving your wallet in you room safe.
While probably nothing would happen you may want more than one piece of ID when traveling internationally.
Thailand does actually require you to have your passport on your person at all times.
I actually don't always carry my passport and sometimes carry a photo copy. If by some chance your passport was lost or stolen other ID may be helpful.

Your health card is good to take although depending where you go, you might have to pay upfront for medical costs.
If you health plan has an option for international travel and instant payments that is good, otherwise consider travel insurance.
You may also want the extra credit card just in case of an expensive medical procedure you need to pay for up front.
Cards can be cancelled and replaced and no one will take a credit card in Thailand without a matching passport.

I have been to Thailand 27 times and never ever had a problem with theft or crime.
No matter what some people will tell you, Thailand is really safe. Safer than Canada in many respects.
If you get mugged or robbed, you have probably put yourself in a bad situation.

I've never even heard of hotel employees stealing and not even a penny has ever gone missing from any of my rooms.
Don't go strange places by yourself late at night and don't take drugs and watch your drink as drugging sometimes happen.
Still there is not one person that I know that has been drugged or robbed if taking care.
Obviously drug addicts are unpredictable as they are in Canada and Crystal Meth (Ice) is a huge problem in Thailand.

The majority of people in Thailand are brainwashed by religion and authority and would never commit crime.
Generally there is very few panhandlers as this activity is considered bad if you are not an amputee or worse.
Most people on the street are, at least, trying to sell something.

The police in Thailand are extremely unpredictable and you want to avoid meeting with the police even if you are in the right.
Even if you did nothing wrong, they could fine you or worse, especially in smaller resorts where they are like gods.
If it appears you have money they may want some of it. I just avoid the police as much as possible.
Still every interaction I have had with police has been fine but have heard stories.....they can be very racist and intolerant too.
Prostitution is technically illegal and although they rarely enforce it, nothing is stopping them either.
Having money to pay fines is also a i good idea if you can. Fines are often low but you could be held until you pay them.

Also consider that all Thai men have to serve in the military. As a result short hair and blind obedience are often a desirable thing.
Thai men also have no problem with rough housing. Consider walking away from any fight or confrontation with anyone.
Most people have dozens of friends that have nothing better to do that come beat you up if required.

My GF once told me that if she has a problem she can call her brother who will show up in minutes on motorbikes with many friends.
I don't stand and fight with anyone in Thailand, I will walk or run away. I could win but chances are I will lose

[Hondo]

Sound advice. Thank you. I'm not too worried about getting robbed or mugged. More concerned about myself and losing my wallet and all my Id. That would be a problem when I come back home.

So I need to get another bank card. I was going to open another bank account anyway for travelling and pursuing my ladyboy whore mongerig hobby. I appreciate everyone's willingness to respond to my inquiries.

If anything else comes up I won't hesitate to jump on line here at the Forum and ask. Excellent resource..Thanks

[Rockheart]

For me I always leave my wallet, passport and immigration exit card in the safe at all times.
You can leave stuff in the main hotel safe and even leave your room key at the desk when you go out, lest you lose it.
If you think you might bring a ladyboy back hide 5000 somewhere in the room so you don't have to open the safe in their presence.
Easier yet, just retrieve her fee on the way back to the room.

When i go out usually take 5-10000 baht and one atm card, just in case I need a cash infusion.
I have 3 bank accounts and ATM cards but only one is my primary bank and that one I never usually use.
Due to interac transfers being pretty much free now, I can transfer easily between accounts online.

I never carry my passport unless I am buying gold, using a credit card or some other purposes but I used to carry a photocopy.
Passport can be required to get into some discos and I was required to show it to get a free bottle of whiskey on my birthday at Climax disco.

Just walked downstairs to my front desk and asked how much they can get me a taxi to Suvarnabhumi Airport. They said B1400. Walked across the street to the 7-11 where there are two girls with a desk in the front for taxi service. They said B1300. I kinda like the Sunshine Hotel's deal because when I check out they return me B1000 which I can use to pay the taxi driver. Otherwise I gotta pay B1300 up front to the 7-11 girls. I want to leave BKK with as little Thai money enough to buy 2 pizzas to carry on plus a bottle of water. This may be my last trip to Thailand. Maybe I'll be trying out Kuala Lumpur and Singapore next year. Or jet to BKK for 2 weeks, hop over to KL and Singapore for a week each, then return to BKK for a week. Y'know sex isn't the only thing to do in Thailand. I love shopping for Tshirts and tank tops at the Pattaya City Walk next to the Garden Plaza shopping center or the Bhukao tent flea market every Tuesday and Friday. If you are in BKK, do visit the famous Jatujak Flea Market on Saturdays and Sundays. Full of people and tourists selling everything under the sun. Great food, boiled shrimp, BBQ pork (moo) with baked hard crusty skin, white rice (kaow or cow), osterized slush drinks, ice creams, curries, and other yummy stuff. Jatujak is in Mochit and easily gotten to in their famous Skytrain. Man, that train is so cold your sunglasses fog up when you exit the train. I like the On8 Hotel on Soi 8 and Sukhumvit. The electric escalator is right outside the front entrance to get up to the skytrain. On8 is only a block from the world famous Nana Entertainment Plaza (NEP). Now got lots of ladyboy bars, but remember the Obsessions has the best girls (and the highest bar fines). Upstairs on the top third floor is the Cascades where some famous big cocks await you and your money. Look for Sindy with the bodybuilder's physique and Candy with the baseball bat. There are others who don't seem to belong there but if you're the type to choose blindly like you do at the massage parlors, be an adventurer. Want to be daring? Try giving them BJ's under the table (very tight squeeze). No worry. Nobody looks. Bring an umbrella. Look for the head waitress with the beehive hairdo. She is fun to watch. Stands up straight, walks like a runway model, never smiles, and seems to have eyes in the back of her head. She knows when you need something. Just wave your hand and bingo! she walks up to your to service your needs. You can try the other bars but I never liked them because I can tell by their phony smiles they just want to rip you off. You can try walking up and down the Soi 4 street or check out the parking lot across the street belonging to the very old Nana Hotel. Really junk rooms more for short time usage. Better hotels are farther away and it is best to use the motorcycle taxis. I hate walking more than a 100 meters and arriving at my hotel with an accelerated heart rate and sweaty clothes. Of course there are 2 other bars mentioned in this website that needs to be visited that are more to the east of NEP. They look good, but I don't know when they have jack off contests. Does anybody know?

Just the latest info in Pattaya. I was wrong about the 3 young Katoeys in the Lion Women's bar. They are back after all. They just returned from visiting their families in the provinces in Isaan/Chiang Mai. So go check 'em out. Young at 20 y.o. Visited Walking Street last night (Thursday) around 11 PM, and it was packed on the street. Checked out Marine Disco and no one was inside. Saw two very pretty Kaoeys in Brazilian Carnival costumes flashing a Katoeys R Us sign, and they let me photo them. So I visited the bar on Soi BJ (no kidding). They got 6-7 beauties on the stage dancing around lazily. One remembers me as shooting her picture from the volleyball contest. All are pretty with athletic bods. Will excite you know you can barfine any one of them. Some have breast jobs and others are saving for them. Hard to save B50K. All are wearing think red bikinis so you can see the outlines of their small peckers. Saw two white couples quietly watching. You know they can't believe how beautiful the Thai boys are. Both couples eventually left, but funny after a few minutes one of them returned and took a front row seat on the other side of the showroom next to mine. I guess they got tired of watching their arsies from the back. I think they must have considered the possibility of hiring one to spice up their boring their same same sex life. Reminds me of the humongous Candy from the Cascades Bar at Nana Plaza (NEP). She is always smiling. Once a curious white couple walked in and took the front table. Candy, ever the entertainer, jumped down from the stage and positioned herself right in front of them making playful pantomime like I fork you while he forks me in a sandwich. Then we reverse positions. The couple was pretty shy and didn't respond. Or rather couldn't. Need to overcome this doubt because this is Thailand, home of the world's most beautiful ladyboys in the world. Wouldn't that be a surprise when they find out just how big and strong Candy is. What happens in Bangkok stays in Bangkok. That's why they call it BANGKOK!

BTW, I asked KRUs how much the barfine was. It's B500. The same as everywhere else. I think their ST prices will be a little higher. I like to bargain down to B1000, but I think they know they're worth more at probably B1500 and up. They gotta make a living, support their poor parents in the provinces, and save up for breast jobs or pecker to vagina operations (which I totally hate). If they perform admirably or surprise you which their size and erectness, I think a reward/tip is in order. After all, I do want to photo them again. You just can't help falling in love with such perfect playmates that even though you think you've had enough or think these vacations are too expensive, you will return. BTW, they wear thin bikinis so no constrictive thick panties or girdles. You can see the outlines of their cute little cocks. Dream on.

[Hondo]

Sounds like the labyboy bars are where a lot of the action can be found. Whats the best time to go? Early in the evening or later when the broads are all loosened up with a few drinks and possibly cocks already in them? I like that the bikinis are thin and show ladyboy cock bulge. That some prime entertainment right there if you get them hard.

I don't know about returning to Thailand again. From what I am learning from this forum I may never leave. I could handle checking out in Thailand balls deep in a hot little ladyboy's cock box.

[Rockheart]

In Bangkok most of the bars are opening around the 6pm range.
Check in bar is the only actual ladyboy bar that opens in the afternoon, I believe.
In Nana Plaza, most of the bars open around this time but most of them all eat dinner at this time too.
Earlier in the day most of the bars stars are not there often they will show up later like 9-10pm.
So you will have more rookies and barmaids at first.
However if there is a popular ladyboy you want it pays to go early and you can catch her when she comes to work.
The top ladyboys, in Nana especially, can be in and out all night with customers.
Places away from Nana like Check inn and Why Not bars are more pub like, not so much a gogo bar.
All the bars in Nana will close at 3am, Discos and other bars in Bangkok may stay open very late.

You are not going to find too many ladyboys during the day in Bangkok unless you contact them on Thai friendly or something.
Still i like to relax during the day, if I had a nice ladyboy the night before I might do something with her if she stayed over.
If you find a cool ladyboy sometimes they will take you out to all the discos and such which often stay open pretty much all night.
You can meet ladyboys at the discos like Climax later at night, and at various street bars.
There is also ladyboys on the street around Nana but be careful with street girls, sometimes there is a reason they don't work in a bar.
Also the authorities are not cool with street prostitution and often do sweeps on the street workers.
Bar fines can be around 700 baht in Nana but you have some peace of mind with your security if they are associated to a bar.

Pattaya is somewhat different.
Most of the bars in Pattaya also open around 6pm and that is when walking street starts to be closed off to traffic.
Pook ladyboy bar on Soi 6 is known to open just after lunch and I think many of the bars on Soi 6 open early, some have a couple ladyboys.
Pattaya Obsessions used to open in the afternoon too, but I think they are still closed.
In Pattaya there is bars all over the place that open earlier in the day which is a little different than Bangkok.
Soi 6, 7 and 8 tend to have bars that open earlier and many of them ladys with a few ladyboys.
King's bar on Soi 8 used to be dedicated to ladyboys but now they only employ a few, they don't really ever close.
Pattaya also has many ladyboys working during the day in shopping malls and other businesses, plus Pattaya has many ladyboy show girls due to the many big shows there.

The dedicated ladyboy bars are also usually best to go a little later like Sensations, Katoeys are us, 69 bar etc.
Anytime after 8 is usually good, most of the time i don't eat dinner until 8 anyway.....
Bars in Pattaya will stay open until 3am or later, it is always possible to find an open bar i Pattaya.
A ladyboy took me to a gay disco in Pattaya very late one night. We bought a liter bottle of scotch and only drank half.
I remember staggering out of there with a half a liter of scotch in my hand, then just jumping on the baht bus.
You can take your booze anywhere in Pattaya, it's great. Not finished your beer? No problem, take it with you.

As in Bangkok they do crack down on street prostitution in Pattaya. There is spot on Walking street where they work by Hot Tuna bar.
It seems to be fairly safe there but not like the old days when walking street was lined with freelance girls and ladyboys, now there is just one spot you can find them on walking street. Outside that be wary of ladyboys outside the bar especially the ones that work on the beach at night.
Pattaya has far more petty crime and muggings than Bangkok due to the nature of the entire city.
Your bars are a little more with the bar fine but usually you will find the highest quality with better peace of mind.

Just beware with bars that you may be asked to pay the bar fine for every day you keep a ladyboy, this only charged per 24 hour day.
The ladyboy gets a share of the bar fine so sometimes they don't ask you for it if they like you and want to stay longer with you.
Depending on the bar they may only expect a bar fine for a 2-3 days but some may want longer.
I refuse to pay for more than 3 days bar fine, at most, for a ladyboy that ends up staying with me longer.
Most are able to figure it out if they really want to stay with you by taking vacation or something.
Sometimes, especially in Nana, they could get fined or lose their seniority in the bar by not showing up for work.
If you do find a good one at a bar and shack up, make sure to clarify this right away.
You don't need them telling you that you still owe 7 days in bar fines after you already paid them.

Pattaya is the place where they really want to stay with you longer. Partly because there is more ladyboys but also because many are looking for a boyfriend type than in Bangkok. So it can be good and bad, they can be a great GFE but hard to get rid of after more than 2 days.
Bangkok they tend to be more business like.

Also you are best going before the ladyboys get too drunk. Some try not to drink and others get drunk every night.
If a ladyboy is already quite drunk when you get there, you may want to consider a more sober one.
It's no fun when you have to haul them back and they just get sick and pass out.

The other golden rule of bars is don't get stuck with a ladyboy you don't like.
You are not hurting their feelings if you like another better but they can put on a good act.
Buy others a drink but make sure you take the one you like the best, not the first one you see.

[George Pill]

Hondo. Just take a bunch of traveler's checks in US$500 denominations (the highest) and take them with your passport to the Kasikorn Bank on the 4th floor of the Central Festival Shopping center with the Hilton hotel. They have a dedicated window for us tourists. Just remember to tell your credit card companies that you will be in Thailand or Pattaya Beach on so and so specific dates. Exchange rates have been 32/dollar but just dipped under it yesterday. Best rates are for TC's. Lower for cash. Hate carrying large wads of cash on the plane or in the taxi to my hotel. Safer and better peace of mind carrying TC's. Remember to write down the TC's company international phone number and the s/n's of the TC's. Make several copies and stick them in different places in your luggage. Kaoteys are everywhere at all times of the day. With the Pattaya Obsessions shut down that makes Katoey R Us the only ladyboy bar with dancers in bikinis. I would try 10-11 PM to walk in and scope the auction. Watch their faces and you can read their attitudes. Went there 2 days ago and some are snotty shiteheads who don't even acknowledge your presence. One remembered me as the mad photographer from the volleyball contest so that helps when I asked if they will let me shoot them in my room. Things were pretty routine until 7 Japanese guys walked in and the girls perked up. The men asked for 5 boys to join them in drinks and they were excited to do so. Immediately started feeling their breasts and little peckers, and yes they let them. The Japanese guys are extremely generous and make things more expensive for the rest of us. I do like KRUs because you can see the full merchandise and how big their boobies really are. Thai boys and girl are really hospitalble. Place is on Soi BJ. No kidding. You may see two Kats with beautiful full Brazilian Carnival costumes who will let you take their pics. They then ask for tip, but I just say, "Wakarimasu ka?" and walk to the bar. You know, KRUs is now the only bar with dancers. The street walking LB's are across the street on Beachwalk from the 7-11 store. Ask one of the ladyboys to call Baitong for you and tip her ten bahts for the phone call. She has been around a while and is a super sexy dresser in her child-like sized frame. After 3 photo sessions she got tired of me. Aim for Soi 7 for good hunting grounds. Then Soi 8 and 5. I prefer the younger ages at 20-somethings. The older ones are limpies from too many female hormone shots. Check out Lion Women on Soi 7 for younger ones. Check out the Aussie Bar area but avoid the tall leggy one or the stuck up ones who wear sneers. Bow is a plump LB there and good for a try. Piggy Bar on Soi 7 is also good. Take your pick. More across the street up and down Soi 7. I stayed at the Sunshine Hotel on Soi 8 so really nice to just hop a few steps to bed. Make sure you check their ID's for age and the hotels require your guests deposit their cards with the front desk. I have had phonies say they have no ID or just a photocopy of one. Wasted my bar fines. Some share their ID's with each other or have stolen ones so watch them like hawks in the room. If they bring large purses or even bags get ready for them to ask you to show before playing. I just grab their arm and drag them into the bathroom with me. I will get rough, unfriendly, and demanding after that knowing they are thieves. Remember this. Only about half for less than that will satisfy you for the value of your money. Some don't know how to kiss, top, or even want to bottom. That's why I say avoid the older more experienced ones. Don't be so friendly in the bar. Be a demanding customer and tell them, "No satisfaction. No pay. I kid you not."

What about a ladyboy losing face if you are sitting with her and bought a drink for her and someone better came along. I could see that happening a lot. Being a man and on an adventure of lust I am going to be constantly looking to one up what I already have. Its in my DNA, But back on track, won't the ladyboy I'm sitting with be insulted and lose face with her co-workers. I know they are hookers but that doesn't mean they deserve disrespect. I thought moving on to someone else in the same bar would be a mistake and insult my current consort.,Wouldn't it be better to just leave the bar.

They won't lose face in such a short time, this is their business. Most are understanding, it is usually the less popular ones that are hard to shake.
Like I say they may act disappointed but sometimes they will try and grab you at the door and monopolize you before you see all the talent.
Losing face would be if they spent a week with you then you ditch them at the bar suddenly for one of their friends, for example.
You also wouldn't drink with one all night then ditch her at last call for another, I'm just saying nip it in the bud, a couple drinks is not a contract.

Buying drink for several different ladies is not a problem in Thailand. Many will ask you if you like any of the other ladyboys.
Plus the ladyboys make a cut of all the lady drinks you buy them so they will try to talk to you as long as possible.
If a favorite regular of theirs comes in they might jump up and leave you, with no guilt.

In the past I have been too polite and then get stuck sitting with a ladyboy i am not interested in, or end up going with one because of not wanting to cause problems.
Until i learned to just learned to say no, and I will seat myself thanks, I had problems like this.
At the gogo's i usually pass on the first wave of ladyboys and choose one at my leisure.
Plus many guys go to the bar looking for a certain girl or type and they will also understand if they are not your type.
Sometimes you will leave with 2 or 3 if you are too polite when you only like the one.

Certainly you could leave the bar but you are the customer and the king of what happens.
Don't leave a bar full of hot ladyboys just because you are not interested in the first one you meet.
If the bar is slow sometimes they will all try and come and sit with you, then you have to learn to say no.
Occasionally i will ring the bell and buy all the girls a drink but not too often.
Usually you can just give them a tip and they will scurry away.
Get the ladyboy you want, it's Thailand.
Learning to say no is a very useful tool in Thailand.

[Hondo]

That's true. It is my trip and my money and as long as I'm respectful and handle things tactfully it should be ok.

Thanks. I now have a little more insight into the Asian ladyboy psyche,
