With enough board members staying at the Metropole, it is not the place to bring a family, in my opinion with the revolving door with bar girls going in and out. Pick a hotel either at Jomtien or Naklua with the beach area close by or beachfront. Away from the bars and gogos but close enough by baht bus.

Nuff said I think on this thred...We seem to beating a dead horse with differences in opinions. Pattaya is Pattaya, wherever we choose to party be it WS, Naklua, Soi Pattayaland, LK, 2,6,7,8, Marine, 3rd road...you get the drift... This pissing contest is what I was hoping the member's board would not turn into with the biz posting. Not because I don't like the post, but when it is open here on this area of the board, it is open to attack by BM's. And really just read the differences in thinking in the last few days...!!! Looking forward to having a corner of the board for buz owners,

Nice~!!!

Martin, you need to disguise the card maybe as a Walmart or Target card on the outside...:)

Let me say, that I do enjoy Soi LK Metro and surrounding areas of that Soi and offshoots too. The bars, restaurants and more importantly the locals are what make that Soi different from WS. You either like the area for what it is or not. Now, Mulphy, as far as promoting here on the Members Board, I do hope that Martin, considers a separate area for promotions by owners of bars, hotels, restaurants, and other business that we could all trust. Nothing against your business but in the last 2 weeks, there has been a lot of posts which have not about promoting business' in Pattaya. I do feel th

I was wondering when you would post your unusual headlines again..thank you for a different angle on things in LOS.

I want to thank you for posting questions such as this to BM's. Now as far as barfining for 200 baht at 2:00 AM. I don't barfine any woman that late. In fact, I don't even barfine at 11:00 regardless of the amount or discount. By that time, I am already with my date for the evening. If I don't have many hours of the evening with my barfine, it's useless to try to barfine late in the evening since it is almost over and I want to be in my room for some loving...

I don't discriminate...Service girls, hostesses, dancers and showgirls...If they are good company and enjoy my time with them, then it's barfine time... I am looking forward to seeing your lineup both dancers and service girls when I return in January for my birthday...:)

Shane...what happened to you is a big misfortune. My hopes are that you can move on from an ordeal such as you had... Now, as far as what happened to you...that is your business and no one else's on this board on any board whatsoever. It frustrates me enough to read about people slandering you with matters that do not concern anyone but you. That's all I have to say...Let's keep what is not about Pattaya outside of the board.

Have not had the proverbial squirters...but...had lots of really suprised thai girls that got off hitting their G-spots and soaking the sheets...

Wow AL/Shane...your posts are definitely getting interesting...Remind me to ask you more about your girls next time around.~~~!!!

One note, the lighting in your gogo could be improved to assist in both the girls and hobbyists among us checking the girls out. One thing that came to mind when I walked in, even the girl I was with commented how dark the gogo was and she did not like this either. Welcome aboard Alan, hope to stop in again on my next visit, shake a hand, and toast a drink.

thegrog, I have a sim I always carry with me when I go to LOS. I usually set it up with at least 1000-2000 baht so when I come back it is good to go. Hopefully it should still be ok, but I know there are date limits on sims if they are not used regularly.

If price is no object. There is one laptop in Asia that I would love to have since it is not available here in the US. Sony SZ92...I have a link to a Japanese website of Sony. It is what a souped up laptop should look like. http://www.jp.sonystyle.com/Style-a/Product/Sz92/ Here are the specs: Sony Model: VGN-SZ92 Motherboard Features CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz L2 Cache: 4 MB CPU integrated RAM: 512MB (2 GB Max) Chipset: Intel 945 GM Express Storage HDD: Optical Drives: 160 GB DVD±RW Graphic / Video Features Chip: VRAM: Display: Resolution: E

I have not purchased from Bangkokair at the new airport before. But my experiences, yes you can buy them at the airport directly. Also you can book in advance online if you have some idea when you are going, such as a day or two after you arrive.

There isn't any bargirl discussions in this forum, so let me say this. For what you are planning, it would be money well spent if used for say hosting a party over getting picked up via minivan/"limo" service. The price is not comparable to the service. If let us say, the usual price for a private taxi is 1500 baht, the minivan/limo rockstar treatment is 15,000 baht. Way too much money for what you get. Just take a taxi and throw a party, that's what I would say.

Welcome Alleycat. Being a judge was hell fun for sure. Looking forward to your posts and trips.

Romello since you are asking in the General section, I will keep this PG. If you prefer the service of a hotel, restaurant/room service, change of linen regularly, then the choice is a hotel. If you decide to have a live-in then a condo is a good choice, since you have the convenience of a kitchenette. One suggestion depending on the month you go, is to try a place such as Inn of the Golden Crab, Whitehouse Condotel, they do have kitchenettes. If you like it then stay if not you can always check out hotels in that vicinity since there are at least 5 more in that same block of Soi 13.

Of all the countries listed, my pick would be for the Philippines NOW. Let me explain why. Vietnam, China, Japan, Korea are all at a struggle now with many changes occuring in the next 2-3 years. These changes may affect the global economy but surely the Asian economy. Japan, will be a change in the Prime Minister the likelihood will be Shizuo(sp) Abe. He has conservative views, but he has plans to start up the military and defense with China and Korea looming with nuclear capability. Vietnam will be lifting its ban on multinational companies and foreign investments by the year 2009.

There are two main international schools in Pattaya........Mainly Regents school where most of the expats that can afford go to. http://www.bkk-thailand.com/lkintschools.html http://www.asiatradingonline.com/internationalschools.htm http://www.shambles.net/thailand/ http://www.aboutthailand.info/internationa...e=international http://www.isat.or.th/member_schools_detai...id=mm7606350072 http://www.thailandgateway.com/education_i...nalschools.html These should keep you busy learning where you want to send your kids......It would be nice to read where you decided to enroll and why.....

Wifi connections in any place you go to will not have a secure connection that you can trust for like internet banking. At the very least use a wired connection.

Got my booking today, if anyone is on that same Eva air at that goshforsaken time...leave me a message or im. Have a private car waiting for me for pick up to Pattaya.

Let me add to Whitespider's post. If you have an opportunity to understand that Shanghai and Macau had similar philosophies as Thailand years ago. You will know that the growth in both cities, are on an enormous scale. Shanghai is one of the richest cities with regards its business climate from manufacturing, processing, technology, electronics, etc. Macau is touted to be the next Las Vegas of the East. With both Bellagio, Harrahs and Wynn casinos. Now let us discuss Vietnam, specifically, Ho Chi Minh, formerly Saigon. If you look to understand that the Vietnamese government will li

Papillon, I think that Indonesia and Malaysia may be unstable with the political climate with the muslims. There have been bombings and that would not be a safe haven in my opinion. Vietnam is nice, beautiful women and country but lousy government with regards to hobbying with women. It is still illegal to bring a woman to your hotel room with punishment of jail. I am not a gambling man with regards communist regimes. Burma they say may be a nice haven to retire. Lastly do not give the Philippines the boot. If you have travelled to other areas outside the Luzon such as the Visayas reg

They are still sorting out the coup, without word from the interim government, I believe this will not go into effect yet... From the initial opening of Suvarnbhuni airport they will have their hands full.
