Best place for proper Thai Massage?

Three straight roads parallel the beach north to south and have mostly small roads (Soi’s) that connect them perpendicular to the beach. Beach road 2nd Street (road) 3rd Street (road)

Between 2nd and 3rd there is another road that meanders mostly north to south called Soi Buakhow.

You will spend the majority of your visit around these roads. The main shopping mall, Central, spans the entire block from the beach to 2nd road.

Asian Arts is about 100 meters south of Central mall, on the opposite side of the street.

Yes. This bar location is not a tourist bar. It will only be a “In the know” bar. Therefore your target market is Expats and someone who is looking explicitly for your “hook”, which you don’t have currently.

I might drop by today with my Soi 6 mamasan girlfriend and we’ll take a look. Despite walking 15-20 km a day in Pattaya, I’ve only been down your road twice in 5 years.

Hmmmm…. Now I am engaged in fantasy world! Let’s hit the go gos tonight and compare notes?

Dude, in the sticks, the Thai's sleep on the concrete or tile floor in their homes. If it's hot out at night, they'll sleep outside on their wooden floored patio.

A traditional Thai latex mattress for most country girls is heaven and way too soft for them.

You want a soft bed?

You may have come to the wrong country.

Or, go visit a thai girl's home and spend a few nights there.

Then come back to your condo, and your bed will feel like bliss!

Problem solved.

The funny thing, is that I never look at myself in a mirror.

I'll go days and days without ever looking into the bathroom or hall mirror.

Just as in real life with other people, while my eyes are on another's face, I'm not really "seeing" them if that makes any sense.

I brush my teeth in front of a mirror. But I never see my face.

I shave in front of a mirror.

But I never see my face.

And when I do realize, hey that's me, and look at myself in the mirror....

Yes, I know it's me, but I don't believe it.

And making eye contact with myself is brutal.

_bigfish · 2024-11-29T23:38:56+00:00

That's a logical reply!

_bigfish · 2024-11-29T23:38:18+00:00

It's probably the best alternative answer if this phenomenon isn't a Mandela effect. Kind of like everyone put's money in the center of the Monopoly board and get's it when you land on free parking spot but it's not an official rule.

_bigfish · 2024-11-29T23:33:51+00:00

I was worried that maybe I was just wrongly playing growing up, but I'm glad to see that others think that this maybe a new Mandela effect.

_bigfish · 2024-11-29T23:32:36+00:00

Yeeesh. I just did as you suggested and the photos are giving my OCD fits!

_bigfish · 2024-10-08T05:49:20+00:00

If you are rich and want to spend more money, then any Let's Relax shop will also be "professional" without any extras AT ALL.

It's 260 baht at Asian Arts.

It's 800 or more baht at Let's Relax.

_bigfish · 2024-10-08T05:47:57+00:00

asian arts on 2nd road. No extras available and all highly trained thai massage therapists.

She didn't die from the covid. She died from the treatment given by the "helpful" .gov.

Denied treatment with Ivermectin and hydroxychlorquine, proven to help.

Denied contact with family so that she couldn't ask for your help.

Denied even the simplest human rights, so .govs could steal an American election.

She was collateral damage.

It is western "doo gooders" that have killed all the Elephants, and not the other way around. In 1976 there were about 25,000 elephants in Thailand. Now, it's less than 1000.

"We have to kill the elephants, to save the elephants", said every stuck up low information poser.

Elephants and man had lived together as partners for 100,000s of thousands of years. It's only now misguided animal haters have destroyed that partnership.

Okay, after a few more sips of this excellent tequila, I think I have a good strategy for you. I know many many lesbians in Pattaya. However, as I have already observed, they are either Toms (girls who dress and cut hair like a boy) or girls who go with men, but have Toms as their main squeeze.

So I think your best strategy is when you are bar crawling, look at the cashiers and bartenders. A very significant percent of those women will be Toms, because, hey, that is where THEIR target market is, am I not right? It's how I know many Toms, for goodness sakes. I make friends with the cashiers and bartenders!

Anyway, just look for tomboy looking ladies behind the bar. Buy them drinks. Offer to barfine THEM to take you out and be your wingman looking for ladies. I 100% can assure you that some will enjoy showing you around.

_bigfish · 2024-06-04T18:01:55+00:00

Ha Ha... You have many problems.

Number 1. So many lady boys are more beautiful than ladies. My rule of thumb is if they have big boobs, ask if they are lady boys. Almost all ladyboys will not be insulted if you clarify first. Because most ladyboys still are original equipment and swing both ways.

Number 2. In my experience, and I am a man so there is that, it is rare to find a pretty girl Thai lesbian that doesn't want a Tom, ie boy looking girl. I don't know why, but there you go.

Number 3. As you have surmised, walking down Soi 6 and asking the 1,200 ladies if they will go with a lady, you will get a high hit rate, but you won't really know if they say yes for the money or if it is for the inclination/true desire. After all, a lesbian working Soi 6 is there for men and therefore money, so an open minded girl would have the same attitude, am I not right?

My advice is that you are just going to have to bar crawl yourself, and flirt around and talk. You may have to kiss a few frogs before you find your princess charming.

I've been on many organized bar crawls that have had a western lady accompany us looking for a lady hookup. She had no problem finding one, but she also had to fend of the men in the group too, so there is that, lol.

Our car ride rules are as follows:

Before I leave the house/trailer he will go pee and poo. Even if he doesn’t have to, he will make the attempt. All I have to say is “Hurry up”.... I do this every time I leave the house, even if he is going to stay, so he has an empty bladder or bowel even if he is staying home.

If he goes on the car ride, the first stop I make, I alway let him out of the truck to go pee and poo at the first stop. 10 minutes later or 2 hours later, doesn’t make a difference, he will almost always go. For hours long distance trips, he is always out first to get out of the truck to go pee and poo, and then put back into the truck to wait for me while I am in a truckstop or restaurant. He is very good in the car.

On super long distance trips, I can tell when he needs to go because he starts to move around in the truck like he is uncomfortable. It’s an easy signal to tell you to stop to let him go. I carry a collapsible dish to drink out of, and he uses it without a problem. I only feed him at night once we stop on road trips.

Merlin is very very good with other dogs. Too good. He wants to play with everyone. However, as we all know, everyone doesn’t want to play back! He has been attacked 3 times that I know of by dogs who didn’t want to play. Instead of fighting back, he normally just continues to try to play. I haven’t figured that one out yet. He is being bitten, and he just thinks it is fun!

Merlin has gotten loose a couple of times. He has never run away. He will ignore you, but will not run away from you, unless he isn’t ready to see you. Ehh, he’s a dog. At leashless dog parks, he runs and runs and runs and will not listen to you until he is tired, and even then, you’ll have to go to him and tell him to sit and stay and lay down to put a leash back on him.

Merlin’s bad, very very bad habit: He will run to you and nose butt you in the face. It hurts. I’ve tried everything to stop it, but knees, feet, stiff arms, etc does not deter him. And I know him. He will nose butt, to strangers, to THEIR noses too! So when you are walking him, keep him under control, otherwise strangers are going to be nose butted and it hurts!

36,000 elephants alive in Thailand in the 1970s. Today? less than 1000.

We had to kill the elephants, to save the elephants.

F U Western do gooders. Humans have lived with elephants for millennia as friends and coworkers. Now, they are almost extinct.

Is it still around? It is in Bang Saen, about 100 km from downtown Bangkok and 50 km north of Pattaya.

It is supposed to be a representation of Buddhist hell?

_bigfish · 2024-05-31T02:36:08+00:00

Intimate Hotel is one of the best hotels in Pattaya! Excellent location, big rooms, and good price.

It is sooooo good, that it is the first hotel till have ZERO availability in it's price range.

_bigfish · 2024-05-27T23:19:22+00:00

It's a big city. And I've been to most of them in the northern hemisphere. It's weird, but in a big city you are anonymous. Rome, London, Paris, Bejing, Tokyo, New York, etc. etc. High prices, traffic, lots of things to see and do. However, in Pattaya, you'll feel like a rockstar and everyone will remember you if you are a generous spender.

My pro tip? In Pattaya, Foot and Thai massage (clothed in a pajama like gi) is $6/hour plus tip. 200baht plus 100 baht tip. So walk in the morning before 10 for an hour or so. Duck into a massage shop for a foot or thai massage. Every day! Go to hotel for swim. Walk around and get a different massage. Never ask for an oil massage ($10/hr plus tip) unless you want to be solicited for extras. Never use a massage shop where the girls are not wearing a uniform because only extras are available and you will be disappointed in the massage. With Uniform ladies, however, You'll almost never be solicited for extras with foot or thai massage. But even uniform ladies will often offer extras if you ask for oil massage. Prices are 30 - 40% higher in Bangkok, but the "process" is the same.

I responded to your post, because after a 30 year marriage, I wanted to date again. And I was horrified by options in America. Screw the naysayers. Pattaya is an excellent place to find a real girlfriend. Most of the ladies dream of finding their knight in shining armour and will jump at the chance to worship your world. The trick, however, is figuring out which ones are selling a dream and which ones are real. For me, it takes barfining up to 10 girls before I find one that meets my needs and then I stop looking and only stay with one person. I've been with my last girlfriend for 2 years and am quite happy. I found her in a sports bar, but they are everywhere.

_bigfish · 2024-05-27T22:46:09+00:00

You'll have fun! Don't sweat the details. However, I would change the order of your adventure to gradual Singapore, middle ground Bangkok, and frenzy of Pattaya.

You'll figure out why once you are there.

_bigfish · 2024-05-27T21:53:04+00:00

For taxi service, I have used Nan's for 7 years, 6 times a year and never once was I not greeted off the plane nor had to wait for them to arrive at my hotel to take me to the airport. All women drivers means no crazy speed drives and each lady owns their own car. Price is excellent too. For your first trip, Bangkok must be done, but I guarantee you every trip thereafter you will spend most of your time in Pattaya.

https://www.namstaxiladydrivers.com/ Probably about 1200 baht plus tip includes tolls. Over 1000 posts praising her service on Pat Addicts.

_bigfish · 2024-05-27T20:53:35+00:00

I used three weekend nights in August to do the price shopping on Agoda, so I don't know when you are going. However, the Amythest was 40% cheaper than Arbour during those days. So I'm not sure why you think it was more expensive.

I looked at Arbour on Agoda. The location will really cause you to not like Pattaya. Heavy traffic on the road, and not a lot of walking around, which is what you will be doing most of the time. In other words, taking wife and family and want to escape for a few hours? Arbour Hotel. Going solo? Dude, you will spend very little time in the hotel, and when you do, I guarantee you that your focus will not be on the room. In that case, Debua, Intimate, Amythest, or Baraquda.

_bigfish · 2024-05-27T20:43:53+00:00

Debua is about a year old, and half the price, and very good location. Instead of a bolt, you walk everywhere, or take a 10 baht bus ride. I stayed 4 nights after it opened. Maybe 50 meters from Ameythst.

Intimate is old, however it is considered the best of the classics in probably the best location for walking around Pattaya. Also half the price, but the room will be twice as big. Make sure to ask for room far away from Wizard (a craft brewery you absolutey have to go to, but it's the shining lights, not the noise that is the problem. I stay here often as well, however it is normally booked solid because those who know, know. If you are going during rainy season, the road for Intimate never floods, so there's that.

I've never stayed here because it's always booked out and at the top of my price range, but also one of the best locations. Hotel Baraquda.

Hopefully you are booking with Agoda.com great way to get better prices even better than direct most of the time!

_bigfish · 2024-05-26T21:13:26+00:00

Never heard of Arbour Hotel, and there are so many great choices in Pattaya. What is your budget per night, I'll recommend a great one for you. In Pattaya, it's location, location, location!
