Arriving alone First time in pattaya

[celtic]

Hello im arriving in Pattaya on the 4jan and staying at the mercurie on my own. Where is the best place to meet other like minded travellers. Are certain bars more friendly customer wise.

[carcareers]

Damn near any bar you walk into.

 

Smile, introduce yourself to the mamasaan, manager etc. Talk to the guys around you, never a problem finding new friends to party with.

[celtic]

thanks that is what i kind of thought however if anyone is going to be in pattaya and wants to meet up for a beer please let me know.

[BigDUSA]

Check out the Alamo Bar on soi 8. Lots of friendly expats hang out there. Go after 3PM, Gary the owner is usually in by that time. Check out the Cherry Bar same soi.

when you get to town...find walking street.....the flb is just near the only tree in walking street....(not to be confused with jenny star bar...thats a hole other story).... wander in and introduce yourself to one of the mumasuns,tell her you are a board member....depending on whether kieth or martin are "in house" they will be more than accomodating (or is that culpable?)........................

celtic i was there for the first time in early november with a friend who has been many times,i didnt see him for the first three days i was to busy and every bar i went to i fell in with someone and had a good laugh.

you will meet lots of people who are in the same boat, never lonely in pattaya

Hi

 

When the girls go through the "where you fom" routine with me I always say "very lonely, can't find lady in Pattaya" That seems to amuse them as you will never have a second without company in Pattaya unless you want to be alone.

hello all, newbie to the site. i will also be arriving alone on jan 14. this will be my 4th visit to pattaya & probably my last. Will be staying at Sawasdee Sea View. Is it worth popping into the FLB bar??? I forgot to do it last time i was there in september...

Just so you know the Mercure Hotel is abour 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the action. Although it is a nice hotel it is a terrible place to stay on your own. If you can change it, you should.

It is always worth popping into FLB.

Gary has posted elsewhere on this board his dislike of Brits, and how he likes to gang up with Australians to belittle them at every opportunity; So surely the Alamo is not the place to recommend to a Newbie from the UK looking for friendly bars.

Pete,

 

I don't know what area you consider the action, but the Mercure is about a quarter of a mile to Pattayalands 1 & 2. From Pattayalands 1 & 2 your about a half mile to Soi's 8/7 and Walking St.

This is NOT the same Gary you are thinking of.

 

Gary who owns the Alamo Bar is not on any Pattaya sites.

 

The Alamo Bar is a good place to hang out in the mid afternoons and get the party started.

 

A meeting place for expats.

You are not alone there mate!!!

[Bagwan]

One sure way to find new friends in Pattaya? A no brainer. Walk into any bar and ring the bell.

[BillWilson]

i'm getting married in march

I dont get it:

 

Been to Pattaya 4 times and getting married to a farang?

 

 

Tell us it ain't so!

[deadman]

Tell us it ain't so!

unfortunately it is, i've been avoiding it for the past couple of years but its time for me to to grow up & take responsibilty & settle down!

[BillWilson]

But what about your responsibilty to the economy of Thailand?

 

Not to mention the Twins need a steady diet of Strange?
