I can be often seen having a quick seafood fried rice meal here - for around 80 baht - at around 3am when all the go go bars have finished and before I hit the discos for the rest of the night.

Post update: My original comment here has been retracted as could be construed as being libellous.

My main reason for my initial post was just to provide a timely reminder to other board members that they should always keep a close eye on their bins – especially if you have been coming to Pattaya for a while, think that you are an “old hand” at this and therefore have a tendency to become complacent. But clearly in some bars you need to be far more careful than in others! I am aware of my option of voicing my concerns to management, which is essentially what I am doing here. The manager was not around when the incident happened, they are not always present, and as mentioned the oth

Aaaaaaargh!...Ghostly!

I think the staff prefer to kick you in the wallet...where it most hurts.

One of the reasons why it is next to impossible to get the staff to back down and remove from your tab drinks that you did not specifically order, is that many bars have a rule that if the customer does not pay for the drink that was 'ordered' for a particular staff member then that staff member has the cost of the drink deducted from their wages. As for the option of only paying for the drinks that you think that you ordered and not the rest - well, Misty's is on Soi 15 which is the Soi where there have been quite a few falangs guys recently who have been given a kicking by Thai's for o

There are few of them who look as if they have been auditioning for 'Michael Jackson the musical' with all of that skin whitening paste.... ...and I see that it is not just the Western men's magazines that have discovered airbrushing and re-touching.

Eh Paul! Where's my free beer then! I was smoked 900 baht within 20 minutes whereas Vid had a couple of 10 baht coins fall through a hole in his shorts or something - total cost 40 baht (assuming that 40 baht is not actually stuck to the bottom of his shorts rather than really lost!) The point that I did not really emphasize was that the mamasans ordered drinks for themselves and a couple of other girls which I had NOT agreed to. I had only gone in Mistys to have one or two beers and buy a couple of LDs when I noticed this girl who I had known for over two years who

Apparently they have 'happy hours' in here, but they normally forget to tell the girls that they are allowed to be.

Martin, you're right. I was out of order in that last post. Shane I apologise,... and thanks for the free drinks that night.

Shane, I'll be sure to buy you a few drinks when I am next in town.

This was as much as I was able to get from the site behind the link: "Responding to waves of negative publicity created by the release of a new Belgian TV drama on Pattaya, City Hall today made good on last week's promises to crackdown on scantily clad girls and bars soliciting customers from the street by closing downtown Pattaya's afternoon bars. Shortly after noon, Banglamung officials swept through the city, presenting owners with official letters that all the bars cannot now open until 6 p.m. with no working talent allowed on the street. By 2 p.m., Soi 6 looked like a ... " What i

The last time I was there in August on my first night in Pattaya I was descended on by both the mamasans ordering drinks for themselves and some girls, who hardly spoke to me, that I was down 900 baht within 20 minutes. I never made it back for the rest of my trip as a result.

I remember mamasung Miki from the days when she used to work at Baby Dolls. She looks like everybody's favourite auntie with her horn rimmed glasses but enters into the spirit of things at these 'naughty' venues. She would encourage guys to get involved with a mischievious wink and getting hands on herself..

I'm not due in town until 16th October

Well I can't!

Martin, sorry - I've just realised that you mentioned in the thread title itself that it is near Polo bar.

But Martin, I have never been to any of these two places before and so have no idea where this Bartimes bar/restaurant is, apart from the fact that is is somewhere on Walking street.

Head for the campest looking guy at the check in. 'Accidentally' drop your documents over the counter and before he can react, offer to 'retrieve' the document, duck your head behind the counter and.... Well you sound pretty desperate.....

You can take a lady there for a smoke?

Your only 2 weeks late in posting this bit of 'news' to the board. If you had used the search function before you created this thread you would have realised that someone posted the full details and pictures in an earlier thread 'Are you sure you want to fly Etihad?, This could explain their cheap deals!' http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/index.ph...9&hl=Etihad And even then the poster acknowledges that the story was old news as the story dated back to November 2007. Anyway good to see that you are quicker off the mark than usual.

No, apart from some notable exceptions on this board. However, if the girls were flies I wouldn't mind being a pound of manure for a bit.

It sounds like a lady boy just crawled out of yours...

This is just your way of saying what we know already that it is a shit hole

Really? The large upmarket hotel chains - Marriott, Sheraton, Hilton, etc have always traditionally been snooty about guys bringing girls back. They would probably allow one up but if you brought back two girls then they either would not allow both up or they would charge you a joiners fee or charge you as if there were three people staying there. They do this partly because they have an image that they need to maintain. The majority of the customers who stay there will probably not be mongers and there are likely to be many families staying who will not like the idea of skanky ho's hangin
