Americans

Do we get to shoot brown people we don't like in LOS as well? 

Well, we get to shoot the brown bargirls we do like... oh wait, you meant with guns, not something more pleasant. :)

The Roof Bar on Walking Street above Soi Diamond is a place where TGs who are only interested in black Americans(really western blacks, just not African or Muslim blacks) hang out. They exclusively play gangsta rap and hip hop music.

Some good points above about where we Americans hang out. Like Big Daddy I go down to the Blues Factory but not as often. Since I am staying at the Skytop Gueshouse for two months and stayed here for one month last October-November, I often get to Greg's cafe a few doors down or, the Sunshine Cafe, the restaurant Greg's wife runs, a half a block South of Skytop on Second Road. This can be for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If it's dinner i will often have a couple beers with Greg before heading out for whatever I want to do that evening. Both of Greg's establishments are excellent offering a number of Farang dishes, great breakfast's in the morning, and some very tasty Thai dishes. There is comfortable seating both outside and inside. Outside I'm almost believing I'm in a Parisien sidewalk cafe as I watch the world roll in front of me in the form of Second Road's traffic, except the style of the place seems more German. Much of the clientelle is British so I wind up talking more with Englismen than my fellow Americans. And those who do hang out here and get to know Greg will find he's an excellent mentor and source for good advice on a variety of subjects. The two restaurants are very similar in most respects.

 

THis central area in North Pattaya is an excellent base of operations for me since Skytop is just a few blocks walk from Soi 7 and 8. Moreover Skytop has an excellent Internet cafe at just 1 baht per minute and its rooms are very reasonable running from around $12 to $18.00 a night. The owner stocks wine, liquor, beer and soft drinks so one can have a few in the Internet cafe or at the small bar just outside where Pete's massage girls hang out. So I will sometimes have a beer or two just outside the small guesthouse Pete operates. There is plenty of action in the vicinity of Soi 2 which is more or less across from Big C. and it's all available just a ten minute walk to the North from Skytop. Of course there's all the heavy action in the many bars on Soi Six just one and a half blocks away but I've tended to hang out in other areas. Near Soi two there's a few bars up a few steps all nestled together which is a nice area to hang out in.

 

Over on Soi 8 I like a small beer bar called Foxy Lady but practically any of the bars here will do. Relatively undiscovered is a new beer bar complex just North of Soi 7. To get there from the North one goes to Central Road at Second Road just across the street from Topps. Now walk to the South side of Central Road and head towards Beach Road. You will pass some restaurants and a few beer bars. There girls will start calling out to you. Take the first left into a narrow street that heads towards Soi 7. Within half a block you will find a spacious area comprising around ten beer bars to your left. At the back of the open room is a large mirror. I prefer the second bar away from this mirror on the South t side and sometimes the one next to it. Mamasan at this bar is an attractive and extremely gracious Thai woman who is married to an Englishman named Paul. Both are a prone to ringing the bell at their own bar which means free drinks for everyone and if Mamasan or Paul takes a liking to you and you are a steady customer of her bar they will often offer you a drink.

 

Like Big Daddy I also hang out at Living Dolls Showcase. There's a spunky little waitress here who gives me good back massages so I will often buy her a drink or give her a nice tip no matter what woman I've brought in with me.

 

Pete, owner of Skytop, is Australian whereas Greg, who owns the two restaurants I just mentioned is an Englishman. Pete's a lot of fun to go out on the town with because of his mischievous sense of humor that seems to focus on what kinds of humorous situations he can help get his friends into. Like Pete, Greg, is an excellent source of good advice, but he's been here longer (20 years now) and has a Thai wife. I'm American and also good friends of Big Daddy's who I hang out a lot with in the U.S. and while he's here in Pattaya.

 

Which is pretty much one of the points raised above. Here I am friends with several Americans who visit Pattaya regularly, an Australian and an Englishman, thus pointing out that many of us Americans don't hang out with each other because we want to hang out with our fellow Americans. We want to hang out with good people wherever they are from but tend to gravitate to those who speak good Engiish for reasons that are very obvious.

I used to go in the Sugar Shack all the time when it was on the corner of Pattayaland and Beach RD. I've only been in the new one a couple of times.

 

On this last trip to LOS I did'nt meet any Americans but quite a few Canadians, and for the first 4 weeks travelling LOS (Samui, Koh Lanta and Phuket) only 4 Brits. I just go with the flow, who ever I meet regardless of were they're from we always hit it off and have a great time.

 

[tangent 42]

That's one of my favorite things about travelling in LOS... nobody cares whre you're from! I met people from everywhere in my experiences... Aussies, Irish, British, French, Canadian, American, Norwegian, German, wherever. And in Patts, everyone's there for the same reasons anyway, right?

Never seem to have a problem meeting new people. Have met many board members at the FLB and around the pool at the RG. In the morning / earlt noon it seems that all the BG's know each other and are talking to each other and I have been introduced to their punter.

[Skate 9]

When I'm out of the States I always say "I'm from Canada, ah".

 

Still remember this guy in Phuket. After talking to him for a while

he said: Your from the states. What ? With that acsent your from the states.

What acsent ? We both got a little chuckle. Later he asked me again.

[mastaloopz 0]

I've had good fun telling the gals where I'm from or my name... on nights out, we've went by the names Dudley, Dorkus, Homer Simpson, Aristotle, Pee-Wee, Tickles, Touch, and Darth Vader and his son Luke Skywalker.

 

It's immature, I suppose, but hell its not hard to get away with and it's a great laugh to hear some gal hollering for "Darth Vader" across the room.

 

We've probably claimed to be from every country in the world, and even Mars. (Which usually just gets a strange look but they seem to either give up or go along with it, thinking they're just misunderstanding, I guess...)

 

About the Roof Bar, I liked the place. I'm sure most people aren't into hip hop, but being from the midwest US it's a nice change every now and then. It's got a nice, open area. I rarely if ever saw any western blacks in Pattaya, but it looks like the Arabs like the hip hop, too. (Marine Plaza plays hip hop really late at night, not sure if they still do...) Good times dancing there and smoking the hookahs.

I see too many Americans everyday. When I'm in Thailand, I'm not really looking for them, but if I run into some and they want to run the bars, I'm game. Gotta watch out for the ones from Minnesota though.

 

At least they don't wear speedos on the beach.

The Roof Bar is the preferred hangout in Pattaya when the US Navy is in town, especially for the black servicemen. Usually, the bar is hardly busy, but you will see a few black guys straggle in there. Don't want to deter white guys from checking the place out. If you are white, you will be welcome there, but the women prefer chocolate men, especially from America.

This is an gross example of racism

 

Prefering partners from another part of the world...

No, it's an example of personal preference. Your reply is a gross example of political correctness.

[Krowdon 0]

...and, I'll agree though, that bar is popular with blacks, and the ladies there are quite receptive to them as well there. That doesn't make it racial, but rather honest. If I were black, and wanting to know where I would have the best time, I wouldn't mind someone telling me where to go in that sense. -- And I've partied in there myself, not being black mind you, but still had a great time. I never noticed any kind of prejudice among the ladies towards me because I'm white either. In fact, I can't remember any bar in Pattaya having any prejuidce against me. If you walk in any bar alone, or with other guys, you WILL get a different reception though than if you walk in there escorted by a "bodyguard" female.. lol

WTF? Who cares who's where, except that lbfm's are there.

I see alot of Americans at the: Alamo Bar, Tequila Reef, TQ1, TQ2, Drunks and Darealicks in Jomtien, Nightlife bar in Jomtien, Twilight Zone, Bob's BBQ & Grill,

Mikes Mexican, Heaven Above, and many more. Just FYI for myself it makes no difference where I go or where the people are from.

The Alamo Bar on Soi 8 is a great place to talk with American tourists and expats, although everyone is welcome there.
