lol. "This song is now available on itunes, amazon and your mom"

Exactly why I won't stay in the cheap villages on the darkside. Living out here is perfectly safe if you do so in a village that has a gate (only one entrance) and full time security. Nobody (not even residents) can get in to my place unless the guard opens the gate.

Another question... What is a "Special Lotion Massage" for 500 baht/hr?

I'll give it a try tomorrow. I agree with MM - its well worth an extra 100 baht (most good oil massages are around 300) for a private room, AC and private shower. Take Yellow House for example - nothing is private there, the AC sucks and the girls aren't near as cute as those pictured here. Well worth the extra, IMHO. So Luna (and btw, why you named Luna if its your friends shop? Just curious =P), this IS a mongering board... and I dont think anyone on this board would be interested in a CUTE masseuse if all they wanted was a massage. That said... since you can't (for obvious reasons)

Damn - sorry to hear about that bro. I really am. :/ Sounds like Secrets would be a good match for you. The only downside being you have to climb the stairs to your room... But they are very friendly, have ladies in the bar downstairs and have fairly good rates. They also have a good kitchen - just tell them your needs and I am sure they can help.

Am sure its legal - but not so sure its a good idea if you have any kind of estate that needs to go to probate. At the very least you should have a lawyer on the other side (your home country) prepare a version of that will and any other necessary paperwork. At the very least ask that question on a legal forum where there are posters that have a better understanding of the laws involved. I only asked myself because I have substantial investments and assets in the USA that would need to be liquidated and distributed in the event anything happened to me, and I found it curious :) I

btw, I got that direct (tho not word for word) from the US Embassy in BKK when I asked the same exact question :)

When you die here your body will be released to the US Embassy who ship it home, and upon arrival the body is inspected by a pathologist and the proper paperwork is completed. A copy of the Thai report might accompany the body, but the official death certificate will be issued in the USA. Not sure what happens if you simply disappear, or the body is not available, etc.

If you bring her along, introduce her to the band at FLB. They can answer any questions as they have been here for about 10 years now and love it. If your on facebook let me know and I will send you their contacts - am sure they would be happy to swap emails before your visit.

Had another very rare bad meal arrive this afternoon. Ordered Chicken Cordon Blue with baked potato... Arrived way overcooked and with a half a plate full of mashed potato. The server noticed right away (oh you order flench fly - I take back one minute)... but I had to tell her no as I was eating lunch with someone who was on a tight schedule (short lunch break) and didnt have the time. On top of that, the mixed veggies were apparently added with about 4oz of water and the overcooked chicken was a soggy mess. Wouldnt have been that bad except I really don't enjoy mashed potato unless it h

I was going to go down there and try it out tonight and post a report, but will have to postpone that. Popped my lower leg out of joint at the knee during the bar crawl the other night, and it still hurts too much to go out to eat tonight. Will see about doing it over the weekend and will post the results when I do.

You will never be hassled (or likely even approached) at PBG. In all the time I have been going there, I was only approached once and she didnt say anything - just stopped by where I was sitting and looked - when I looked away she moved on. I think they even have a sign of sorts if your looking for a FL - something about a green drink coaster or something you can use that tells the girls your open to play? Not sure about this - I saw something about it one time, but never investigated since as I said its not my scene.

In that case, Soi 6 is the place to go. Plenty of places there that have what your looking for. :)

Looks like Fondles is being his usual prickish self. That particular venue has recently turned in to a gay gogo. You dont want to go there. Go to FLB. Lots of good looking ladies working there now - they open in a hour. Other then that, join up on the weekly bar crawls (see the Bar Crawls section of this forum).

Amen to that. Hell, I would kill for a good authentic Queso - but its not to be had anywhere here :/ I never had the Fajitas there, but I wasnt all that hot on the tacos. I like Mikes better. Mikes Mexican is on Thepraya Soi 5. Used to have their card around here, but cant find it now. Thepraya is the road that goes between Pattaya and Jomtien - the one Residence Garden is on. Soi 5 is just up from Residence Garden on the left as you head toward Jomtien, and Mikes is about 30 meters in to the soi on the Left. You cant miss the sign both on Soi 5 and on Thepraya - its a huge y

Gotta throw my 2 cents in here. I have eaten at PBG at least once a week (and often many more times per week) since I moved here. Thats hundreds 0f visits all told, and I can count the number of bad meals on one hand easily. Most of my bad experiences where the food is concerned were during the day, when I would typically order the same meal I do at night - the cook is very obviously different during the day, as I have found the quality quite a bit lower for some meals during the morning and early afternoon. That said, they were still not bad! Just different. (For instance, the day tim

I don't know you, but you hit that one right on the head. Tequila reef only does one thing good: Tequila. Their food sucks. Its not rancid by any means - made with fresh enough materials... but it tastes lousy when compared to Mikes Mexican. Not worth a walk across the street IMHO. That said, their "sloppy nachos" are not bad. Better then most nachos in town - but not worth a trip to Soi 7.

If the post had come from anyone credible, I would have. Fondleshimself is known for winding people up for no reason other then to get a rise. I wouldn't be surprised if he had never eaten at Bobs, much less had one of the bad experiences. When I first moved here, and before on holiday, I ate at Bobs many times - and while the food was not great maybe, I surely never found it rancid. Too many accounts say otherwise in the last year or so tho, so I believe their quality went down hill... but I wouldnt believe Fondles if he said the sun will rise tomorrow. He's not the sort you listen t

Food quality issues aside for the moment... Don't pay too much attention to what Fondleshimself says. He likes to try to wind people up (I have him on ignore, but still see your quote lol), and if he does have friends, they likely know him well enough to not pay attention to him either Will be in to try the food on Friday night... hope its up to par. Will be posting a report here. :) Frosty

Gotta agree with most of the comments here. Bobs was only "ok" at best.... with the Mexican menu being horrible. Mikes Mexican is going to be a hard act to follow - their food is awesome, and made with fresh ingredients. I will come try tho... always willing to re-evaluate. Will post a full report in this thread after :) Frosty

Well... if you want to know what the OFFICIAL dates are, someone here can tell you. If you want to know the actual dates... nobody here can tell you. At some point usually within a few days of the official start date for BANGKOK Songkran (Bangkok Songkran is a week before Pattaya officially), some drunk asshat decides to squirt some other assclown somewhere on Soi 7 or 8 at about midnight or so, and poof - the whole fucking town explodes in a waterfight. To be fair, 4 years ago (my first Songkran here), it started at midnight on the official start date in Bangkok. For the last 3 y

I don't think there are any that close to pattaya. 2 hours including the trip out and back, plus 9 holes? Not going to happen. Siam Country Club and Siam Plantation are likely the closest. Taxi will take 30 minutes or so to get there.. Motorbike about the same. Phoenix isn't too far south - probably 45 minutes. Either of those are closer then Burapha (I assume thats what you meant above). Callum with Solar Golf can give you much better info http://www.solargolf.com/English/Contactus.php

Neither of those hotels are really good for a first timer, I think. Secrets has stairs you have to climb (a pain when drunk) and penthouse rooms are filthy (but naughty!) Try Dynasty Inn or Pattaya Bay Resort. Both good places for newbies, good security, food, pool, in room safe, etc. If you want very good rooms (suite, not regular hotel), try Residence Garden.

Oh you can bet that luck was with you that day. I had decided just by coin flip to start the photos on the other 9 that day... so I was at the other "first" hole. If i'd been at your tee it would be plastered all over here and facebook already btw, hope your feeling better.
