Well worth the extra 200 dollars......i got it my last flight as free upgrade, but my June flight I will pay for upgrade at counter

Happy Birthday Nam!....and nice snaps!

Already planning to be there in a few weeks!

I think it is worth it, though I was nicely given an upgrade to deluxe class(only paid for economy)....but my friend pays about $200 dollars more.....I think on my June flight I will try to pay extra at counter and upgrade......anyway, I really like EVA Air, and it is now my primary Airline choice...Cheers!

I never really eat seafood that much...though I like the breaded prawns

Thank You Reggie, Martin, Bruiser, and Ozijeff...I appreciate your posts!...Cheers!

Well, I was supposed to already be in Pattaya...but a few days before I was set to leave, I got a call from work saying that I and others in my company section had been layed off.... So I was able to postpone my flight, and I have up to two years to use it, and I went back to fill out all the items in the severance package...but I am scared! I am a few months away from my 50th birthday and it is frightening because there are no jobs and I am a middle aged white guy(we are the least desireable hires in America)...who is going to hire an aging middle aged white guy? Minorities and young pretty women get the jobs....Well, I am close to rebooking and probably be in Pattaya towards end of February so I spend two weeks drinking my worries away!

Terrific pictures!....Thanks for posting!

Great Restaurant!......I eat there many evenings when in Pattaya.....I love the Lasagna! Good wine selection.....great salad bar! One of my favorite places to eat!

Thank You Frosty!....and Emil I appreciate the information and support... Cheers!

Thanks Emil....heres a bit more....I know several of the ladies were barfined because they told me....I also saw two Secrets customers at another bar so I was able to talk to them...one of the customers seemed to be "generally irritable," so I can easily discount what he said... The other guy I talked to,who had barfined at Secrets said that he thought some ladies are tired, some not feeling well, some just want to go home....or visit their friends, or whatever.... My experience with the Secrets lady who went to the other bar with me(I still actually like her, she is a nice lady).....was just part of pattern I noticed....she went from friendly to upset so quickly, I was perplexed as to what happened....since her mood change did not seem to make sense to me, I considered it within the framework of the other observations.... I only barfined the Secrets lady because I wanted to chat with her and have dinner... Anyway,does not matter.....Cheers! Midlifecrisis......What is fishy?.......What is you problem with me posting what I saw? Anyway, it is unfortunate that you are so defensive about anyone posting an observation.... I have no idea who Soi 7 is anyway.....Nor do I want to get in a misunderstaning with anyone... I posted what I saw on the this board because I it seemed the better platform.... It appears that most feedback discounts what I saw as being happenstance, which i have accepted as being a viable expanation.... It is unfortunate that anyone has to be so hypersensitive....that they call my observation Fishy so midlifecrises......"What is Fishy"

Okay I am not trying to in anyway critisize Secrets..........I like Secrets....but I have had an experience, and some observations...... It is possible that my one experience, and the series of observations lasting over several days are just a coincidence.... The initial feedback from my post seems to contradict what I observed at Secrets....I merely was posting based upon what I saw.. I apologize if I angered anyone Cheers!

First let me say that I like Secrets!...it remains one of my favorite places to visit a while when in Pattaya! I need some help though in understanding a curious trend I have noticed with the ladies barfined at Secrets? 1. My first day at Secrets I noticed a disappointed customer who was supposed to meet a go-go dancer from Secrets that he barfined....she miraculously showed up after he complained to Mamasan.... 2. Over the course of a couple days I noticed customers barfining Secrets girls and then suddenly like within ten or 15 minutes the girl would be back a Secrets after I watch them leaving with a guy.... 3. I saw one go-go with a guy at entrance of Soi 14, she was daytime go-go leaving with the guy, again 15 minutes later she was back at Secrets 4. I barfine a nice lady at Secrets to go with me to another bar and to dinner....about 5 minutes after She and I arrived at the other bar she got upset about something(I still dont know)...and the barfine ended, coincidently within 15 minutes of us leaving Secrets... 5. Later that night I saw that dissapointed customer(from above) he told me that after he had barfined the go-go at Secrets she told him she needed to talk to her sister for a few minutes and she would meet him back at Secrets--then she never show up......He told me he would never barfine at Secrets again... 6. The next day I saw my Secrets lady and she wanted me to sit with her again....I politely made an excuse, and sat by myself having some coffee--again within an hour I saw two secrets ladies get barfined, and then within in 10 minutes return to Secrets? 7. I have heard of short time, but it is absolutely impossible for anyone to anything in such a super short time....so what is going on with these Secrets barfines? 8. I saw a youtube post that said Secrets ladies required 3,000 baht? Does anyone know what the story is with the Secrets Barfines?....I still like Secrets for drinking and food...though I will never again ever barfine......Cheers!

I like it already!....I am putting it on the list for my next visit!...Thanks for the Information!...Cheers!

First, I will start by saying some positive things: 1. Still a good drink value only 75 baht for drinks during peak hours 2. No swarming there so you buy one lady a drink and you dont have to worry about other ladies wanting drinks also. So Buffalo Bar still a good value even factoring in round trip taxi price of 200-300 baht from Walking street.........so you can go to Buffalo Bar, drink for a few hours, and your bin tab will be less than 1,000 baht.... Now the unfavorables, 1. There seem to be three types of ladies at the Buffalo Bar now, over-the-hill, brats, and nasty-looking..........many ladies seem too old to be working there, over 40 years, and it is kind of annoying having to waive so many of them off.........the 21ish go-go dancers seem to have a Las Vegas style arrogance(ignoring their customers to talk on the phone, or with other go-gos, returning when time for antoher drink).....I also saw 4 or 5, heavily tattoed ladies that looked nasty(like they were walking the streets of LA)........in all, not the nice ladies that used to be there.... 2. I noticed a high turnover in the service staff, so many of the Buffalo Bar service staff that I know, I actually saw at other bars, and they said the Buffalo Bar now has some bad management(from the Thai employees perspective)... 3. On past visits to the Buffalo Bar I was treated like a king;however, on my last three visits it seemed the customers were there for the ladies "convenience," in fact, one guy that most everyone probalby knows(looks caucasian and drives a scooter on second road and tries to get you to visit a condominium, and when you waive him off he curses and swears at you!) yes, he was there, did not buy any drinks for ladies, and got better treatment than several guys who bought drinks for the bratty go-go dancers! So that is my observations about the Buffalo Bar...still worth a visit, but barely!....

when I am in Pattaya...I will try out this restaurant next trip.......do you recommend any Steakhouse in Pattaya?.......Cheers!

Thank You!....I shall have a drink there! Cheers!

And the name of the bar is?

Why doesnt this story surprise me

Well in the United States you will be happy to know that prison punishment is harsh......despite what you might here about American Justice...in the USA criminals get the: Sad story...I hope they catch that criminal.

Public Service Announcement! Do not date caucasian women !

niether of those is my cup of tea

...In salem town the executioner would say "more weight,".......Cheers!
