  1. Actually I remember very well. My tiger was 125 baht and San Mig Light was the same as I remember, tho I usually do not drink those, and lady drinks were 120, with showgirl/mamasan drinks being a little more expensive. Your "show girls" were only 3 in number, each on their own little pole/bed/tub, and standing around doing nothing. This was at about 11:45 as I recall - still very early in the night. There was no "show" of any kind - the show girls were doing the pattaya shuffle the whole 30 minutes we were there. Yes, I can find that in any other gogo in town without exception. So.. .j
  2. I looked up there when I was shopping for my new place... not a bad location, that. I chose a place in Pattaya Hill 2 tho, up Soi Khow Noi. Very nice... IMHO a house is the way to go, no matter if your goal is to have a nice place or cheap place. When looking I ran in to several 2 bedroom townhomes between 7-15k, and while I did not choose them some of them were nice. I ended up in a 25k home... but... damn.. its very very nice. Most condo's start around 25k and you get a hotel sized room, or 1-2 small bedrooms if your lucky... and then you pay 7-8 baht per KWH for electric. I pay 3.
  3. You know, you should really learn a little bit about who you are talking to before posting something like this. I am very very well known to be a big spender in the bars I frequent, including Xzone - or at least before these major price hikes. It is not unusual for me to be buying my drinks plus lady drinks for several ladies at a time, and rarely complain about prices. This is not KL. This is Pattaya. There might be 2-3 discos that charge more than your bar now... but very few if any gogo bars. I can't remember the last time I saw 150 baht for a beer in a gogo... I am sure I have see
  4. Ran in to another friend on the way out of FLB tonight, and he had just come from Xzone... same story. Very high drink prices (140 for lady drink - we did not buy any the other night, and I didnt think to ask). Prices are way out of line all the way across the board. Will be out of business in record time I think.
  5. ok, So tonight between rounds of the dance contest at FLB, Lovedog100, Skate and I decided to go check out the "new and improved" Xzone. It did seem cleaner, with new paint and clean tables and seats. The girls were average looking, with one single stunner in the lot, and another that I would not have kicked off my lap. The tab on the other hand... was very high. 150 baht for San Mig Light, and 130 baht for tiger. To put it very plain and clear: There is NOTHING in this gogo worth that price for beer, period. The show girls were not interactive, and did not do anything whil
  6. Most of my customers are very security conscience where it comes to their internet identity, and that has forced me to learn quite a bit about how proxies and VPNs work, how they are run, etc. The long and the short of it is that if you commit a crime on the internet, no public VPN provider will keep you safe. Period. Even the VPN providers in 3rd world countries that do not keep logs can be gotten around. THEIR isp will have logs, and those logs can be used with timestamps to find you. That said, if you are not committing a crime but want your identity to be kept private, there ar
  7. I won't give LK as harsh a review as LoveDog did... I do enjoy the occasional afternoon in Champagne.... but even then the CC's are out in force. Not too big a deal for me as I have a reputation for paying well, but for people going on for the first time the girls usually ignore you unless you are fairly aggressive about getting their attention... tho that is understandable since a very high number of their customers are there only to drink the cheap beer and never buy lady drinks. Enough of that would make just about any gal start to doze off lol. Even there tho I usually see only 1 or 2 girl
  8. If ya gotta go... its a damn good way to do it
  9. I would also like to know this. We had a great dinner at Tigglebitties last year - but I am a very picky eater... and would be better served by a buffet. Tho... perhaps early in the day. Can do a big lunch at a buffet then still have dinner with friends at tigglebitties. That sounds like a plan
  10. Ahh, thanks for that tip. Damn, for 900b each I would think they can afford aircon. Still intend to try this... but maybe only on a cool day now. I hate places with no AC... Even PBG, tho admittedly its usually ok there with the sea breeze. There are days tho that its just too hot to sit outside.
  11. Probably about 50 lol. No, actually am going to hire a truck and the door guys from FLB and do it in one go. Will pack things up over the next few days, then move on either Wed or Thurs, tho I might have to leave the computer here for a few more days depending on the scheduling of my internet move. Going to have the puppy go in to the Vet on Tuesday and stay until I'm moved, and they will de-flea him 100%... and will have the new place sprayed before I move in. Little thing has fleas and the frontline doesn't work because there are other dogs here where I'm at and their owners don't do
  12. Not sure if it was official, maybe just a rumor? But someone mentioned it was either the owner of, or supplier of, the Thai Cream Pie site that (funnily enough) went offline shortly after. I think they even mentioned the hotel? If not then the general area because I have it pictured in the beach road area around Soi 2-3-4... me memory is a bit dodgy. Anyone else remember that one? It got some attention here at the time.
  13. That's exactly where I got them. Its opposite and a little down (toward 2nd road) from the post office. I actually had gone that way to check the post office, but they only had small ones. Nice big ones for 60 baht there, and she dropped that to 40 baht for 15, and threw in a couple bungie cords to tie them down to the motorbike. Now I just gotta pack. Not looking forward to that. A guy like me can buy a lot of shit in 4 years. :/
  14. That's what I was looking for. Will go take a look. Didn't know they had anything like that back there... used to be a ceramic/pottery type place I think. Bought some stuff there years ago. Will go check them out here in a bit, once I know for sure they are open lol. Exactly what I used to do, years ago when the boxes were in good shape. That last several years I was in the US the stores either stopped doing that or they dismantled them first, or they recycled them... so I started using Uhaul boxes, which while expensive were very very good quality.
  15. Well, I finally got in gear and found a niceĀ® house and am moving next week. So... I need boxes. Would like to find some strong medium size boxes similar to the ones UHaul sells in the US... Any idea where I can find a place that sells them in Pattaya? Any idea where I can get them? TIA
  16. Heres your average thousand baht burger lol. Sorry for the photo quality. Phone cameras suck.
  17. Subject change: The girls in the photo... are not from Brazil are they? Looks way too dark. As in Africa dark. or?......
  18. No shit lol. If it wasnt 11:30am, and if I had slept already, I would go get me one right now lol. Too damn tired tho. Gotta catch at least a little sleep today.
  19. Ahh, if that were only true lol. I dont use pickles, onions, tomato or any of that. The Bacon, Mushrooms and Cheese only enhance the flavor :) But ya, a nice regular cheeseburger with no extras is good too sometimes. The quality of the meat makes all the difference tho.
  20. Of course they can... and do. Many do. The problem is they taste like shite. I mean, even someone who doesn't really like burgers would be able to tell a major difference just looking at them, much less tasting them. Same with the onion rings. They even LOOK better, and taste MUCH better. The coke is just coke tho lol. Seriously... I will get photos one of these times. Of course that will mean getting a photo of the crappy burgers I dont like as well. Maybe ill have a friend order one and not tell him why LOL. As to looks, I am not talking about presentation - I could care less a
  21. Too true... But I still make the same money I did over there, or close enough to it, so... lol. :) I do miss some of the tastes of home tho. Would kill for a 6 pack of hard tacos from Taco Bell... or... maybe a pan of queso from Chilis... Or hell, even a waffle house omelet and hashbrowns lol. Sure you can get a omelet over here, but they do something weird to um... much different taste. Think I'll look that up actually... might be able to make one here the same way. I think they add a bit of their waffle mix and throw it in a blender first. Simple, but effective But ya, this is home
  22. Do you rent a motorbike? If so you will have no problem with that arrangement. Elsewise if your out past midnight it will cost you a nice chunk to get home... between 100-300 baht. ... and for that price the driver will still stop for others etc. Other then that.it is closer to a nice beach for the daytime stuff.
  23. Quite a few single (or at least alone) girls at tamnan chon tonight :)
