- I explain common mistakes that are made visiting pattaya and well as offer solutions!
Visiting Pattaya, Thailand requires being mindful of a few key considerations. First and foremost, it's important to exercise caution and discretion, as the city's infamous nightlife scene can cater to more adult-oriented interests.
Travelers should be aware of their surroundings and avoid engaging in any unethical or illegal activities. Additionally, understanding the local customs and etiquette is crucial to having a respectful and enjoyable experience.
Be prepared for bustling crowds, aggressive touts, and potential language barriers. It's also wise to research accommodation options carefully and ensure your safety, especially when venturing out at night. With the right mindset and preparation, Pattaya can be an exhilarating destination to explore.

Very useful advice thanks Trever
thank you
You ok trev? Ive just jumped from a video from a year or so ago to this one and you look and sound knackered!
I am tired not Gona lie but hey working hard is just par for this course
I still advise to those that are new or newer to Pattaya (and this can be applied to Bangkok, Phuket, and elsewhere) to only book a hotel for three nights. That way if you don't like the place you are at for any reason you can easily change hotels using whatever booking site you use. If you do like the place you are at, no problem. Just re-book.
good shout, just be careful in high season or holidays as hotels may be limited if moving around
@@Buzzinpattaya true, you do have to be a bit careful around major holidays especially during the high season.
This is very important if you’re sensitive to noise or smells. I’ve had plenty of hotels that have noisy air conditioning. And even if you don’t turn your own on, often the a/c box of an adjacent room is loud enough to ruin your peace.
It’s not uncommon to encounter an a/c unit that sounds like a tormented jet engine.
I once had a 30-day agreement at a hotel where another customer was an absolute menace, mostly to staff, and also wasn’t kicked out due to paying good money. The daily shouting and drama unnecessarily ruined my holiday peace. The guy almost ended up in the news after breaking stuff.
Another brilliant show lots of info thank you very much
Glad you enjoyed it
I think the 15,000 baht per day budget is absurd. That's $413 USD a day for 15 days, for a total of $6,195. Add to that the flight and hotel and we are talking serious money. You can have fun in Pattaya for a lot less.
The mobile phone kiosks in the Avenue are always excellent and economical they only sell you the minimum coverage you need..I always get them to put my normal sim back in before I leave for the airport coming home then put the phone in flight mode until back in Australia . always works out perfect. They are just behind Starbucks. The Avenue 2nd Rd.
You can have fun for less but likewise you can still have a great time on that budget of 15,000B
agreed.
That's Vegas-level playboy style! You can certainly spend that much though and you'd have an incredible time, but it's totally unnecessary.
Yes,it's very simple, spend what you can afford,can have a really good time for 5000,depending on what your after 😅
@@Buzzinpattaya Sure, if you have a six figure income you can have one hell of a time in Pattaya. However, I don't think most blokes who watch this channel fall into that category.
Spot on as ever Trev. Much of it is common sense but having it explained clearly is a great help.... rewind anything you may want to hear again. 👍
Cheers mate
Good advice, hope folks are listening
Thanks 👍
thanks Trev! All good tips.
there are obviously many reasons to love Pattaya. I love it because it's easy, super convenient and has everything one could ever want. 🙂
Cheers mate
Being bored? No way with me. I'm a gym junkie,aged 78. Always book cheap hotels near a well equipped gym such as Sun Fitness on Soi Bukhauo.
Following my morning workout, have a good breakfast eg at the Hungry Hippo, relax by people watching on their small veranda, then go for a massage, followed by afternoon nap in my hotel.
Wake up, fiddle around on my laptop, emails etc. Late afternoon walkabout, good supper, maybe another massage, followed by dating such as at a beer bar. BTW I don't drink, will buy lady drinks, and so to bed either alone or with company. If alone, have ensured a hotel with either good English channels on TV or Fight Club for boxing. BTW2, don't like swimming pools either and enjoy 3 - 4 weeks spending as per your budget. Well done lad.
Good for you mate
Nam’s Taxi: 1200 baht in a nice clean Camry; route from BKK to Pattaya.
Hotel: LK Metropole; deluxe room is actually two rooms; a living area and a separate bedroom with full kitchen.
Despite the LK Metro location; it’s very quiet!
Budget: 10000 - 12000 if you’re a drinker and like to keep the girls smiling!
Cheers mate
Thanks, Trev Great tips and advice. One tip I have is: " Enjoy the restaurants, shopping and markets close to your Hotel. BUT walk far away from your Hotel to do the BF /ST thing. I have heard many stories about a tourist who met a girl on his first day in the Bar across the street.....Unfortunately, that girl is now going to see him with every other girl he meets and trust me if a Bar girl thinks she has lost face you are in physical danger !
Cheers mate and great additions
absolute facts. there was a massage parlor i went there many times but never for extra because i walk past them every day on the way to soi buakhao
Well said, great video…. Hope to be back in buzzin lounge again soon…
Cheers mate thank you
Great advice and information. Thanks Trev.
cheers mate
Trev. You look and sound really tired! Have to rest. Have to take care of yourself. Ok. Take the time to do so. Make the effort. Your health is everything! Everything! Remember that. 👍😎
cheers mate am going home soon for some much needed down time
You seem to have a cold Trev. Get well soon mate and thanks for another great vid.
Am okay mate, cheers
Good video Trev. I agree with all the points you raised. To get the most "bang for your buck" in Patts and you enjoy drinking with the ladies, which is a lot of fun, you need to "splash the cash" and B10k works in most cases.
Cheers mate
Great info as always cheers mate.
Cheers mate
Here for the second time . I aim not to drink. Been having fun with the girls , but think I’m gonna head to koh samui and focus on my fitness and a change up. Love pattaya but this time I’m thinking this one week here is good . Appreciate the videos
Have fun!
Sir,,commodore,,Trevor,,always amazed by your content n how not to end up n trouble,,I keep telling my friends from south Florida to subscribe to your channel when they are going to the land of smiles,,great advice,,😊😊😊
Much appreciated mate thank you
A good tip if u arrive at BBK Survanabhumi and u want to go into BBK, dont get a taxi get the BTS.(skytrain). If u arrive and u wanna go straight to Pattaya. So u arrive in arrivals go thru immigration, go up one level to Departures go outside where Taxis are arriving.. U get a better price there very quick no Queue..
Cheers mate
You can't get the BTS at the airport. You have to take the airport rail link into town. Then Get the BTS from there.
If you are giving out tips make sure they are actually true.
I get my SIM at the airport, D-TAC. for 300THB. It lasts me my 2 weeks easily, using maps on the go as well; it's competitive and they set it all up for you.
For taxis, as many vet's say, Nams is the best price. I have stopped using Mr Ko. I suffered him letting me down at the last minute. I have been touted at the airport, and had 2 successful rides to Patts for 1300thb, so just waiting for a lady to approach you is ok. She put me in an orange taxi anyway, so the driver was possibly off shift, or whatever, just making a bit extra. I've used the bus, and that's ok too, apart from a wee hassle of another taxi or bike, with your case, to your hotel.
Cheers for sharing mate
Great advice as always Trev.
Glad you enjoyed it
I have been using Toms Taxi, but lately my last 2 drivers suffered from speeding and the other one looked too tired to be driving. I am going to give Nams a try. Thank you for the info.
I've used Nam's for years now after some bad experiences with Mr T Taxi drivers. Never an issue with any on Nam's drivers, highly recommended.
Sorry to hear that
Nams is brilliant
Unless I have to wait a long time I take the bus from the airport. The seats are very comfortable, it has airconditioning and it's a direct connection. Easy 900-1000 baht saved.
fair one mate
It would be nice if you highlighted bars and establishments that were owned by different nationalities. Me being from the U.S> and coming out for the first time here within the next couple of months it would be great going places that were American owned. That's absolutely not to say I would not support any other bars, but a little familiarity would be great when coming for the first time. You know you're my first stop homie!
See what I can do mate
@@Buzzinpattaya Awesome, appreciate it.
If you arrive at Don Mueang airport, take a taxi to Suvarnabhumi Airport and from there take the bus to Pattaya for like 200 baht. If you want to take a taxi all the way, it's also fine and should cost about 1200-1500 baht. First step to do at Suvarnabhumi Airport is to walk around and find the best rate to exchange your money. Change about half your budget, or enough for about a week. The rest you can do in Pattaya as needed, no problem. Step 2, get a sim card at the airport for your phone and make sure it works. Step 3, it's time to take the bus. Have fun.
After a long-haul journey I just don't think I could do that
Best place to exchange money at BKK airport, basement floor. Super rich money exchange booth, will see loads of Thais there, so that's tell you something. Do not !!! Do it at those rip off ex booths you see as soon as you clear immigration...
It's amazing the number of people who come here and don't do simple Google searches, there is absolutely no excuse these days. So last week I got on an empty Baht bus at Soi Buakhao/lenke. 4 shirtless English lads knocked on the drivers window and one said 'Koh Larn, can you take us to Koh Larn'. Another one then chirped in 'we want go Koh Larn'. It took about 30 seconds for the driver to just get pissed off and drive away. I mean this is simple, simple stuff.
hahaha yeah I see this happen a lot, where is such and such....errr open Google lol
Koh Larn, is that in Scotland. 😂
@@tradeladder146 aye, about 15 hours south of Auchtermuckty (by air)
Exchange rate simplified: Baht is times 3 so figure 2,000 baht multiply by 3 gives you roughly $60.00. Or 300 baht is roughly $9.00 and for the Philippines peso it’s times 2 so 2000 peso gives you $40.00 or 200 peso gives you around $4.00 Celsius you double it and add 25, so for instance it’s 25°C you double it and that’s 50, then add 25 and you get 75°F. For hotels in square meters you multiply by 10 to get the square feet. So 31 square meters is about 310 square feet. Times 3 on the baht, times 2 on the Peso, and times 10 on square meters
Hope this helps someone. I dislike having to Google everything all the time so on the fly this is a game changer
cheers for that
The ignorance of thinking everyone uses dollars. 🙄
@@timwalker2458the ignorance of thinking you or I matter on the internet. anyone using degrees in F are using dollars. Same with square feet. I use dollars otherwise I would have added whatever I did use. This isn’t ignorance of the fact I think everyone uses dollars, but ignorance of I have no idea how to convert every other metric of money cause it is of no use to me. Man you must be an insufferable human to be around
What sort of math did you do to multiply 2000 and get 60.00?
Another good one Trev, good info as usual 🎉
Thanks 👍
Thanks mate much appreciated
Thanks for the advices Trev. Useful as always and all the best.
My pleasure!
Get your simcard at the airport, then you have data straight away, plenty of shops inside airport and its done and out of the way.
gotcha
Great deals with Simtac at Swampy. 👍
Great Tips! Thanks!
No problem!
I've left this comment before for newbies... Don't fall in love with the first bar girl you meet and marry her in the village a month later... Im not joking!!😂
haha brilliant
I once tried to give a Scotsman the very same advice, he didn't listen. Ended up marrying her and spending £15,000 on building a house in Isaan and when I returned to Pattaya 6 months later and asked the bar owner about the Scotsman, he explained all of the aforementioned and explained that the relationship was now over and he was back working on the oil rigs in the North sea. This was about March 2010 in The Mr Bean bar in New Plaza when I gave the advice. It was the only bar he'd used in the whole of Pattaya and his 1st time in Thailand, yet he told me that he knew what he was doing 🤣 It would cost him twice that now, so in a roundabout way, he's got off lightly.
I believe it, came close myself.
@@Enochsright just dont see a bar girl more than one night. Or theyll leave youre account empty Lol
I used AIS when I was in Thailand.. It Was good..
cool
Thank you Sir, looking forward to my visit
Safe travels
if you plan on using a Thai sim/esim, just make sure that your cell is network unlocked. Also, I suggest on getting a battery pack if you running around. Also, most places have free WIFI, if you are worried about Cell data usage. If you a laptop user, I suggest in getting a power strip that is long enough, sometimes the socket is further away. I have a power strip that is 2 pronged, but has 3 prong power receptacles with USB connectors. Also, I have zipper pockets on my shorts, don't want to loose your wallet/cell phone riding on a scooter. Bolt and Grab apps for the win. Also, always pack a HDMI cable.
Well said
Another thing you can do instead of the bus from the airport is sometimes it is two hours between buses is take the airport rail connector to phaya tai and then take the bts to the ekamai bus station where there is a bus at least every hour sometimes even more frequent. I as a solo traveler have done this before rather than waiting two hours at the airport.
Yeah your right, just a lot of hassle after a long haul flight for many
@@Buzzinpattaya I would rather do that than wait two hours at the airport
I second Nam. I have used her several times, and she even saved my hide when I was stuck up in Saraburi. She sent a driver all the way up to Saraburi to bring me back to Pattaya. I only use Nam's Taxi.
Cheers mate
Great video once again, Trev. I think that you can use a vacation yourself. You work all the time. Take good care of yourself.
Off to see my wife and daughter Friday for a few days
Looking at this video and the streets after it has been 2 months since i left, all the old feelings of thailand i forgot are coming up. I repressed them in order to get used to my old life in home country. its like i've never been there until i see the streets then it all comes back
Gotcha mate
Great video full of great useful information. Thanks 😊
Thanks mate
Great advice as always Trevor. Stay safe. Kindly regards, Reine.
Thanks, you too!
Great video and great advice
Thank you!
I had a problem with peeing and it hurt. Went to pharmacy at buakoa and within 5 mins i had medicine and a jab in the bum , jobs a gooden. Perfect service
nice one mate
Syphilis is a terrible thing. 😂😂
Cherry Taxi is good i have used it
Cheers mate
Good point about room sizes - nothing worse than being stuck in a 22m2 room! You only make that mistake once 😂
Indeed
Brilliant advice Trevor
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely agree about the Blind School Massage Trev. It's brilliant and it's a PROPER no Hanky Panky massage. My first visit there was in 1996 and I've been to them every trip since.
Couldn't agree more it's a great experience
Bangkok Airport to Pattaya, just take the Air Con Coach, Level 1 or Two, just ask the information Desk its as cheap as Chips, Leather Seats reclining , ive done it on the Bus to Pattaya in one hour forty five Minutes, Cars Taxis are just as long and three times the price.
Fair one
just wanted to say if your phone is like mines and you can't put in a different sim card, get a portable mobile hotspot at any mobile phone store. it's about the size of a small pager. you turn it on, it connects with your phones wifi, put it in your pocket and go on about your day. you hook up to it the same way you would hook up to your hotels wifi and the mobile phone store will explain it to you. yes, they are a bit pricey as they are about 1500-2000 bhat but it's well worth it to have a working phone. my data lasted 3wks and I still had lots left before I had to leave thailand.
Thanks for sharing this mate, thank you
As usual you have e given some good advice in this video.
I even learnt something new as I didn’t know that standing on those Baht buses was illegal.
If it was illegal then why were they designed that way?
By the way, you were too judgmental in your narrative regarding transport.
Not everyone that comes to Pattaya is a 2 week millionaire.
You were concluding that people are supposed to start taking taxi’s because of their long flight to Thailand.
My trips are now longer (4 to 5 weeks) and I don’t need to rush to Pattaya on arrival.
It means I can take advantage of the cheaper bus and money saved could equate to 3 massage sessions or even 1 or 2 days hotel rate.
Another advantage of bus travel is the opportunity for more social interaction with others which could just enhance your holiday experience.
This has happened to me twice and the most recent has led for this stunner Swede coming to visit me in London!
I so much love Thailand and its opportunities.
I don't know why people don't spend a day or 2 in Bangkok before heading to Pattaya, same on the way back.
@@timwalker2458 I would only recommend that if it’s their first time in Thailand and never stayed in Bangkok before, if not it is better they go straight to Pattaya so that they can squeeze out as much fun as possible before their return home especially if only around for a few days.
Yeah there are some quirky laws here
Nams is the best and only one I use. Brilliant service
cheers mate
I went to the beach every day and read a book and drank a gallon of water under the massed umbrella things!!
Good for you mate nice one
Fantastic!
Many thanks!
You can now, as of July 2024, travel to Thailand without a VISA for up to 60 days. That’s from the US. I called the Thai Embassy and confirmed it.
Cheers mate
I was over in April for songkran 10,000 a day is more than enough , then again I stayed away from the go go bars and walking street, there’s no need to go there, the gents clubs are far better
cheers
My budget is more like 15,000 Baht a week!
Fair one
Ringing the bell in a Thailand bar you would be better off buying land near the sunken Temple,, cheaper.
when you do the math its really for suckers, 5-10 lady drinks per Round for argument sake vs 1 Leo - thats a really over priced leo, might as well drink at the hilton !
Lol
Another mistake would be to go to Pattaya without travel insurance that covers comprehensive medical expenses.
Well said
good advice
Glad you think so!
You can get a 60 day tourist visa online now. Costs about 180USD. You fill in an online form and upload things like a photo, a copy of your passport, and an image of a bank statement showing you have some money available. If the embassy is happy with everything it emails you the visa within about a week. I have just gone through this exact process and got a 60 day visa. Other than the cost it was reasonably painless. I got my visa from New Zealand. This online process only came in during March of this year. You must use the visa you get within 2 months or it becomes invalid. Cheers y'all.
cheers mate
Do u have to show proof of accommodation for the entire 60 days?
That's very costly considering they gave 90 day visas upon entry from Nov '22- April '23. I'd rather get a return flight to Cambodia or Laos for less money and you've added another country to your itinerary. I find Pattaya gets a bit repetitive after 3-4 weeks in my 14 or so visits since Feb '07.
I'm here now on 60 day e-visa from USA. It's $40 u.s. paid by credit card when you apply. Fairly simple. When it's approved you print the approval and show it at customs when you arrive. Easy. You do not need full hotel list, just for the day you arrive.
Just to add, $40 is for single entry 60 day visa. Multiple entry is different.
Thumbs up for Nams taxi
Cheers
I always use Thai happy taxi always good
Cheers
Question. How much money would I need for a week in Pattaya ? Not including bars since I don’t drink.
Comfortable living 5k a day
TT Booths to exchange. Or use your Monzo or chase card. Load money on and tap like you do at home. Excellent exchange rate. No pockets full of coins
thanks for sharing
Well tips as always 👍
Thanks! 👍
Just a comment to the newcomer's, some guys on here think its a big joke to get you to ring the bell,ok.Dont ever ring the bell unless you want to buy a drink for everyone in the bar,never ring rhe bell no matter gow drunk you are,some may try to con you,its a very expensive introduction to Pattaya, ok
well said mate
I always stay at the Bayview! Centrally located, and view of the ocean, from your balcony!
To Pricey.
Good choice!
First timers should not worry and just get their arse over here.
Just book the ticket and a hotel for at least a few days and you just can't go wrong.
well said
Trev mate ,i know we have never met but go easy bud ,I can't keep up watching your vlogs let alone you doing them in that heat trying to keep ''Everyone '' happy .Just concerned that's all 🙏Top bloke 👍Put some weight on mate ,sod the Fitness freaks 🙄I only made a comment the other day on Nick's site concerning Eddy god bless him .
No worries
Does Bolt quote you the price before you set off to destination?
yes. bolt will give you several options. car, motorbike, etc. and there will be a price next to each option. you pick what is best for you. the final price will be given before you confirm that you want the ride so there are no confusions
Yes, it's the same set up as Grab. Put your trip in and the price comes up. You can get cancelled by them, reason unknown (maybe they got a better offer) and you can get a call saying "I want/need more money." LOL, if it's peak times, or heavy traffic, unsociable hours. It happened to me and I just cancelled him and re-booked. The country I live in, they don't like the short runs. Other than that, either bike or car, it's good.
Yes it's all laid out before you get in
I got a sim for 15 days from 7/11 which suited me perfectly for the short time I was there. I spent up big and stayed at the hard Rock on the reserved floors.. you get what you pay for... although it was a bit far away from Walking street. it was just a short walk to soi 6. I think it was a 20 minute walk to the buzzin lounge including being grabbed by all the girls as you walk past the bars. I would also advise grabbing a good firewall for your phone/Tablet/laptop as I was hacked and lost $2000aud.
I also lost a bank card because of that money first card last thing. I worked on a budget of 5000 baht a day.. with any remainder being bounced into the next day.. but I'm not a huge drinker and was more a regular tourist than just a bar tourist.
Nice one
I used Nam's also, great taxi.
For sim I did the same, go to the store and just get an AIS sim, not expensive at all.
Cheers mate
50m square hotel room? Wow, that's huge for a hotel. The 35m square 1 bedroom condo I always stay at is bigger than any hotel I have ever been at
cheers
I use AIS and i can keep my number as long as i put money on it via line pay like 10 bath extend my number for 3 month so all my contact dont need to update for a new number each time i visit
Nice one mate
Great Advice.👍
Glad you think so!
So, you are saying that a bus takes 2 hours to get to Pattaya, who wants to travel another 2 hours after your flight. You suggest taking a taxi recommended by your group. Doesn't a taxi also take close to 2 hours to get to Pattaya? Or are you instantly beamed to Pattaya in a taxi? I didn't know there were such taxis in Thailand. I'll look for that service in your group. Thanks.
Bus 2+ hours, Taxi 1hr - 20/30 minutes
Busses are for backpackers, I'm well past that.
Hardly any diff between bus and taxi. Done both.
The bus is very comfortable, has airco and is a direct connection. The only downside is that sometimes you might have to wait for it at the airport.
Obviously you have not travelled before. If you choose to take a bus you will first take a taxi or bolt to the bus stop from the airport, 15-20mins depending on traffic, then you will lineup and get a bus ticket, depending on how long the wait is before the next bus leaves you may wait from 5mins-30mins or longer if tickets are bought out, then 2 hours later the bus arrives to the terminal in patts, then you get a taxi or bolt to your hotel. Total time is a lot more than 2 hours LOL compared to a 1.5 hour taxi from aiport straight to your hotel in patts. Its obvious which option is best for someone that just took a 10+ hour flight
Wow! Great video Trev, Keep up the great work!!
I made sure to share it to all my newbie mates for your hard work for making this video
Much appreciated! Thanks mate
I got a fantastic deal on AIS ...... 100b per month including unlimited internet 4mb speed. Even though I spend 6 months or so in England, i keep it going all year..... As long as my balance covers it, they take 100 per month automatically.
Wow
I think that sounds risky because you are a foreign person. The country you are from could investigate this.
Wow that sounds cheap where did you pick the sim up from....?
Thanks Trevor for your message.see you in October. Rajinder from Oxford
Cheers mate
The bus "it's just adding another 2 hours to your journey" ........ it's not though, is it ? A taxi is not much quicker, unless they have a transporter like the Starship Enterprise to get you there instantly.
143b last time I used it ....... 168b if you book online (not a bad idea as they are often full).
Indeed mate
Bell Travel have a bus that links up with transfers to your hotel. The only issue with buses is waiting for the departure times. If your ok with waiting then all is good
Defo the Bus.
im against taxis. normal bus is 170 b, and taxi is 1200 or more but the taxi doesnt teleport there. its a 1000 saving we are talking about, thats one FL
I normally use Tanns taxis, she is very good and even waited once for approx 2 hours for me when my flight was delayed I think she charges 1200 baht, however her drivers can charge 100 baht more. Which is at the end of the day is only just over £1.00. So if they do overcharge by £1.00, dont give them a tip. Up to you, of course.
10 t0 15000 baht a day?? Really Trev I pay my lady 1500 baht a day, she also pays for the occasional meal for me as well. I have been seeing her for the last five years though, and no I don't pay a barfine for her either even though she does work for a bar they are very flexible with her. 😊
Cheers mate
One common mistake is walking into a bar and not ringing the bell you see hanging in there. It is considered rude not to ring it when you're there for the first time, and it gives you good luck if you do!
lol okay mate
😂
Question....whenever I have rung a "Bell" in a bar, I have to buy a round of drinks, for every patron??
@@nicwalpole for the girls on stage
@@nicwalpole a lot of places have multiple bells, one for working girls only or one for everyone
Trev for new travellers I once bought a Samsung phone it was a copy and worked in Thailand but back in uk it won’t work
Yeah sadly heard this a few times
I'm not sure whether you said LK Residence or LK President is not near a baht bus route, but the map I found suggests they both are. Is the baht bus route on 3rd road not active or nonexistent? ...I suspect the map I found is faulty because it shows no baht bus route on Soi Buakhao which you later mentioned.🙂
gotcha mate
Best advice I can give to those wishing to stay in Thailand. Marry a Thai nurse, get free medical. Save on insurance.
Haha
Lol sure you don't think a naughty nurse ?, nailed it . :)
He ain't wrong 🤔
10.000 baht daily... Trev, are you ting tong ? i've had an amazing time on 2500 daily including everything while i was there (not plane ticket or visa obviously). i had rich nightlife with many ladies, i have explored many things even outside of the city, even rented a bike and went to sattahip. i had many massages and my guest room was very decent. but i watch where i money goes, no drinking or smoking
Mate it's just a level. I spend that and have a great time likewise I spend 5k and have a good time. Is just a example
Quality budgeting pal
best rate you can find for ST for anything that is worth doing is 1k, lady drinks cheapest are 150 upto 250 for walking street, your drinks are cheapest 80 for a beer if outside your hotel room then upto 150 and gogos dont have water cheap its all around the 130-150 mark. massages 300-400 for an hour. then we have guest room.
sure you might have only spent that but i think we know you are fibbing about "rich nightlife with many ladies"
@@VibrantLivingLists you dont need to go to walking street to have rich nightlife. i had ladies from soi six 4x, gent club in soi buakhao 1x, soi pothole more than 10x and main soi buakhao a few times, and from soi honey too. and few massage ladies from sai song road. nothing wrong with that. i dont drink so its an orange juice for me which is usually 50 baht, 2 drinks for lady max then i make a decision. for the one at soi 6 i spent 1500 bf + 1500 twice, so its not cheap only
I wished they had an updated Baht bus routes. I know beach road is 1 way. Soi Buakhao, the bus goes both directions, but I hear in the future Soi Buakhao might be 1 way street. I know about that 2nd road 1 way route, opposite of Beach Road. Then I saw a baht Bus, going down Soi Diana, but I don't know the entire route. I never got on a Terminal 21 baht bus.
Yeah can be fun navigating
gosh mate, you sound like you had too much beers already just before making this video
lol, thanks..... not had a drop but hey ho
I couldn't be fucked getting on a bus after all the travelling I just wanna get to my hotel and unpacked and showered .
Trev said dont ever make plans they always change. So im sticking with my $500 a day budget when i come cause I might want to take 2 🤷♂️ gotta be prepared haha
Haha
The ATM in the machine happened to me. Luckily, the security guard in Central Festival called me back over to show me I left my card in the machine. Had thar been in the US, my account would have been drained .
wow that was good of him
Do video on residing in Na Kluea for a month vacation?
Okay
Ive always stayed at the sabai Lodge hotel now called S Lodge hotel on soi 2....its on a very quiet soi , no noisy bars nearby, big large swimming pool, nice pool bar too
Nice one
@@Buzzinpattaya quick question Trev...are you ok? You don't look your normal self? Or R u under the weather?
just tired mate, am home now in the village for a week so recharge time, thanks for asking mate
@@Buzzinpattaya good to hear...rest up sir!
I took a soi6 girl to a LK metro gogo bar crawl, that was a whole new level of expense :D
Haha I bet
Yeah the budget can be flexible, my first two trips I was 6 week billionaire some nights spending between 20-40k, last two trips and future trips I budget 10k a night and try to control myself better, some nights I’ll be tighter to save so I can have a couple of over the top nights.
It's your money mate spend it how you want
I was a 2 month billionaire, go go,s wiped me out
@@Enochsrighttry taking 3 ladies to Alexa Beach Club as the start of 20hr session 😂
I was in Pattaya back in late January and I wanted to stop in your bar and just have a beer and hopefully say hello to you, the only thing that stopped me was the lady's standing in front which I was kinda intimidated by then thinking they would bombard me for money so I basically chickened out and didn't go inside. 😅
shame mate, 100% that doesn't happen ever, they just get you a drink and a cold towel
@@Buzzinpattaya those cold towels are a the greatest gift after walking to the Buzzin Lounge.
If you're intimidated by the lovely, passive Buzzettes, don't go to Soi 6, you'll sh*t yourself🤣🤣🤣
Was in Pataya for just five nights in March, used it as a stopover on my way to Australia. Arrived in the Buzzin lounge and was made to feel really welcome, Boom and Ying were so lovely and helped make my visit enjoyable and that was just playing dice and pool. Will be back in November/December hopefully.
@@SoybooCow bwahaha thats for sure... Michael took us through there after a pub crawl and it was a real eye opener.. 🤣
Always use LK empress in the centre
No-that one or the one across the road. There is just no way of knowing, tho, is there. Hehe.
You're right. These cute hotels. They sho everyone and they tell everyone. Yet they're apparently discreet, sum how.
Nice one
Excellent video! Any injections recommended before setting off for Thailand? Any other health recommendations before leaving for Thailand? I'm guessing mosquitto spray is the only thing. Also what's the weather like in September? Wet I believe, just how wet? lol
I went last September. and yes it rained everyday but the thing is when it rained, it only rained for a hour or less and then the rest of the day is all good. don't let rainy season worry ya 😊
@jujubee1290 Nice one, appreciate that, thank you 😊
September does have its share of rain at times mate
@Buzzinpattaya Appreciate the reply, thank you :-) 👍🏻
I don't think I ever had a mosquito bite in Pattaya. I have been there in april, may, october, november and december
You said the bus from the airport is 2 hours. How long in a taxi?
Bud sucks but it’s super cheap . Taxi or bolt I think was like hour and a half or less
About the same, the Bus doesnt stop anywhere it goes straight to Pattaya.
About 80 minutes
Taxi takes 1.5 hrs, Bus takes 2 hrs. So only 30 mins more and at l3ss than 200b instead of 1,500b np brainer for me..
Only point to point out, they drop you at the jontien bus station, but baht buses pass right by or book a bolt taxi, cheap as chips..
Okay
I used bus and taxi to be honest bus is fine and cheap
