I went in the 3 Angels bar on Soi 6 last week. I had a drink then 2 girls come up to me and started talking to me. I brought them both a drink. I couldn’t decide which girl I liked more so I decided on both for ST. I thought the price quoted was for both but it was for one. Worked out a bit expensive but I thought it was worth it in the end🙂
@@mrlol1498 When you are talking to them they may start flirting with you and touching you. Just go with the flow but make sure you agree the price with the girl or girl’s before anything happens between you.
Went to soi6 for 1st time in January and was nervous the first walk down but half way down I settled down and loved it. Maybe my favourite place to go in the end. The girls were always great fun and didn't take the piss. Spent alot of time in spider bar playing pool with the girls and lady boy Jin. Loved it alot and can't wait to go back next Jan. What I would say after watching utube many months before , it was so much better than I had believed.
I absolutely love soi 6. My favourite place in Pattaya and I spend at least half my vacation time there indulging or as you said, drinking and watching the world pass by. Just remember, it's your vacation so you call the shots - don't get taken advantage of.
Stayed at the Queen Victoria mid March this year. Staff fantastic, breakfast awesome and a great little retreat. Even got back one particular night with a full skin full and a bird from soi pothole…… unbeknown to me the great staff kept an eye out for me to make sure I was in good hands. Can’t recommend the Queen Vic enough.
Just got back from a 2 wk stay, I did not like the aggressiveness of Soi 6 or the LK Metro area so I opted for the smaller Tree Town beer bars. I just strolled around until I saw a girl that I found attractive and then invited her for a drink and to play pool, great way to evaluate the chemistry and personality, almost like a traditional date. I bought one girl some BBQ and a rose that some little kid was selling mainly because I was feeling good and the kid was cute, I was shocked at how appreciative the girl was over such a trivial gesture and how she carried the rose around with her all night, you would be surprised at the passion and emotion you can receive in return for treating them with a little romance and respect and not just like a bar girl. I bought another one of my girls a lottery ticket with a 14M baht payout and she later told me when we were saying our goodbyes that if she wins she will come to America and find me
@@andrewmack2161 On the other end of the spectrum is a place on Soi Buakhao called Sensual Massage, you pick one of the 4 or 5 girls standing outside and for B1000 she straight away gives you a bj, no drinks, negotiations or foreplay necessary
Here is what I've learned for myself from going to SOI 6 1. Choose a girl that chooses you ( if you approach a girl that is looking at you like you are a wall, you are gonna have less fun ) 2. Don't be too handsy with a girl. ( I wan't touching one girl and she got all over me, trying to make out with me AND ( I never asked tho ) she went home with me for a 1000 to her ( and 800 ) to the bar for the whole night. ( 19 years old ) Maybe it was a standard price, but I heard it's usually more expensive. 3. Dress fresh, and use a nice fragrance ( make sure it's a people's pleaser ) and she will be constantly sniffing you.
My take on this, everyone has to run the gauntlet of Soi 6 at least once on their trip 😂 I did it at least once a day. It's so much fun. The girls are all lovely, and if you have better will power than me , you can say no when they try to drag you in. I loved a walk along in the mid afternoon as it starts to liven up, as you said Trev, a lot of them are on their phones, and as I didn't need "a nap upstairs" usually then I'd reward the ones who did pay me attention and shout to me with a lady drink, (always a costly but fun afternoon) letting them know I was just out for a walk and enjoying lots of ladies company for drinks that day and they always had a bottle instead of a shot, as it was quiet(ish) . I'm now extremely well knowledged on Thai geography 😂 As for the Soi 6/1 , as the discord guys know, I'm comfortable around the ladyboys 🤪🤪 and I never had a problem walking along there , same same as the 6 , they're all lovely and you can stop for a chat and yeah they can be a bit "hands on" but I think it's the vibe you give off there, they know who's who but any guy who struts down there with zero confidence may find himself in a little bit of bother in a fun way . Similar to anyone who decides to be an @rse as well. Treat them with respect as you would (should) any other girl and they'll just have a laugh and carry on with you . To everyone else, if you're planning a trip there, and we all know young Trevor here bangs on about the discord group 😂 but do join, you'll get a lot of info and help, and a lot of banter on there too , and do a bar crawl, it was a life changing experience, well it was for Ian when I went on one . Not sure if they can handle me in August when I return 😂
Trev, it's great you showed everyone soi 6, like you say it's unbelievable, no place like it around, and it is jammed pack everynight, alot of choices, every visitor must visit
Soi 6 is one of the reasons why many 'Farangs' can never get near a decent Thai lady! They just won't be grouped with the same people as found at these places! The stigma of walking around with a 'Farang' outside of Pattaya / Bangkok / Phuket can be quite intense!
my last ship in the navy made a couple of stops in thailand....i stayed at the discovery hotel. i went on a walk one day, waiting on a friend...and came upon this magical place right around the corner. i literally had to walk down the middle of the street...i couldn't wait for my buddy to come back. when i brought him, all he could say was "oh boy!" over and over again. i didn't make it through that time....we made it almost to the end, where we were abducted by some LBFMs into a bar where they all wore like, red french maid outfits. good times. this was back in like, 2010 or something. i've since retired and have been planning a trip back for years. was probably the most fun i had in the 20 years i was in.
Even though Pattaya is my least favourite place in whole of Thailand, I do enjoy your videos! It gives me an insight of Pattaya without even having to go there!
I Always enjoy a laugh and joke with the LBs on 6/1. Show a little respect and most are the funniest and most wittiest people you can meet. They can always come back at you with the funniest banter and all enjoy a good laugh,just use good manners and it's returned.
Great vlog Trev was in pats last month and had a great time Pattaya will change ,but room for everyone,my experience is there’s no place on the planet that compares just my opinion ,life is all about living we are here for a good time,still great value for your money,😻😻
Took a Pattaya newbie down 6 in February, guy from the States, ex-marine, built like a tank. His head was on a swivel and he literally had no clue where to look or what to do 😂walked 2nd road to Beach Road and halfway back then dropped into a couple of bars and just enjoyed the vibe.
@@Buzzinpattaya we’ve all been there Trevor 😂 from memory we went in to Roxy, Toy Box and another I can’t remember but the manager was a Scot called Alex. Even funnier, I left Pattaya 2-days later, the Yank was there another 10-days or so and spent a fair few of them on Soi 6 😝 met up with him again in Bangkok at the end of my vacation so he did survive - just!
It’s a must see for a Newbie. Preferred it back in the day when most were behind closed doors. Used to spend a lot of time on the 6. Queen Vic was the escape from the girls for some food. Spider is my fav for people watching. Had a great time in Red point last year. The girls were really beautiful. It’s a fun Soi but now I prefer Buakhao area.
Yeah Trev for me I like the soi been going a long long time. Highly recommend it if you’re on holiday and even if you’re not, get yourself down there you’ll have a good time loads of fun. I always visit frequently when I’m in town.
For any pattaya 1st timers dont try and do all at once. start with tree town then LK metro Another night walking street Another night soi 6 Dont take out lots of money with you Dont be presureised into buying drinks (just say your looking) Dont get a girl after 1am
@@chrisellis9689 its a good question. Not all but many girls from bar or gogo with find any excuise (have to feed dog/cat, they need to be up early) just to leave you early and go home. They wont go back to bar/gogo its just an opotunity for them to earn their money and go home.
Wow, I am amazed that Jimmy Mac's is still there. I used to go there for breakfast in the nineties and even remember Jimmy Mac himself sitting in the corner before he passed away. It is iconic.
Best pub crawl street I know of. Been here many times, last time was a month ago. First time was 2001! I must admit that I liked it more when the bars were not all open fronted with competing noise. Could go inside and be more private like King Kong and a few others that remain.
mate i really appreciate how you came here during the day, it really added to the mystery of what to expect on the first soi 6 experience, im here in pattaya at the moment & on my first night time explore of soi 6 omg talk about running the gauntlet! 😂 i landed at the beach before landing in a bar 😅 after knowing what to expect & whats on offer i returned some nights later with a cool & calm mind, walked up & down the entire strip in search of an absolute stunner & luckily i found what i was looking for 😍 we got on really well & no that does not happen with every girl you sit with as ive had bad experiences in the past too (patong, phuket.) you find out pretty quickly if shes keen to spend time with you or not so happy days & overall its been a brilliant experience for me 👌 enjoying it here so much i went to see mark to extend my visa to stay another 30 days 😂 but really pattaya is so relaxing i love walking along the beach every day im so glad i made the trip here to find out for myself 😁
The first time I went to Sol 6 it was very intimidating, confusing, and overwhelming. Too many girls, too many bars. At the end of the day, I succumb to the temptations haha. It's an experience I will be doing again; until this day I don't remember what bar I went to lol.
Hi trev nice stroll down soi 6 can't believe people keep saying it's changed everywhere has changed not just Pattaya where I lived bars were bouncing it had ,5 night clubs now has 1 night club and mostly half filled pubs so you collect memories from that era your living in, in 10 years time you will get people saying Pattaya was far better in 2023 it's a generation thing like songs plenty of bars plenty of girls live life now forget the past enjoy Pattaya it's buzzing
Pattaya Blue Sky Hotel is just around he corner on Soi 5. I had a couple of fun nights on Soi 6 last time. Always worth a visit. Variety is the spice of life
Bangkok Motor Show last week was a 'million miles' away from this place! The girls both working and visiting the BKK Motor Show were really decently dressed, mostly with long hair tidily kept back, tall , slim and polite--no tattoos at all ! No trash types! No issues to talk with them on the show stands, very polite! Real Thai people!
@@Buzzinpattaya Great change of scenery Trevor! The halls and exhibition stands along with cars and bikes were world class! Big up to the organizers! Free entry for pensioners too! Yippee! * You could have made a superb video at that event! Shame you missed it mate!
My last trip to Pattaya was 12 nights. I stayed in Soi Bukhoa area and motor taxied down to Soi 6 two times. Had a great time both nights. It's incredibly intense, but really fun. There is a little pizza place in about the middle to recharge and to help sober up a bit. You're right about the young guys. When I was there there was a lot of US Military guys walking around on R&R. The girls were all over them.
Sadly young guys have slowly killed the eagerness of Thai girls with older blokes. Nothing can be done about it and it's common sense but it friggen sucks having to put up with getting rejected because of it. Still I do well with the 6s and 7s and as long as they go at it like horndogs I'm pretty satisfied. Got 2 regular 7s I see in rotating weeks but occasionally try a newbie. The last newbie I had though was a shocker of a performer. The one before that hassled me for extra funds so I'm starting to lose faith
Nice stroll and good advice. I park my scooter on 6/1 on occasion but a couple times I parked close to Beach Road and LB's that were hanging out in the general vicinity tried to charge me parking fees when I went to retrieve my bike. lol. "I was watching your motobike for you, can I have 100 baht". I paid and kept it cordial but just be warned, it's a dark alley at night and a little dicey at times especially when Soi 6 is utter mayhem. I park right on Beach Road more when Soi 6 is crowded and I'm bouncing from one bar to the next.
Thanks for another informative vid. I have long thought that soi 6 would economically explode if they made it like walking street in the evenings. Think soi Cowboy in BKK. Removing all the vehicles, including all the parked vehicles from the lefthand side, in the evenings only would transform it. What do you think?
I used to frequent Soi 6 in the days of Kiss Kool, Sweet dreams,and the Bret bar. Fun times made a lot of friends, always had my lunch at Queen Vic either fish and chips or cottage pie was in my opinion the best in town. Will add for the ones that have never been here, don't be afraid to say "no thank you"
I had for three on each arm dragging me either way like a tug of war once. I broke free and walked away fast and bosh went arse over tipon a banana skin lol. They came and picked me up and took me in a bar and cleaned me up. Next day my head was hurting as I hit it when I went down. And my shoulder was killing me where they tugged me. Mad soi but good. Came home a couple of days later and was out working in the cab. Stopped for this tasty Oriental bird at a zebra crossing. Smiled at her and she looked at me like she would a seeing something smelly she had trod on. I thought I was a handsome man I shouted at her lol. Ps I was watching keV in Thailand video at complay. There was a real tasty sort done up as a stormtrooper. keV said cor I'd like to storm troop that lol, brilliant
Yes walked down that lane way and felt like walking into a trap door spider hole they were everywhere at night fewer at the day. Took some mates down there so they get a lay of the land for what could be install if you made a mistake.
went to the old style soi 6 nearly every day for 8mths when it was all behind close doors,by golly gee there was some fantastic times to be had,my last full day in Pattaya the BGs walked along the bar took their knickers off and stuck em on me head then squat down for a inspection,bloody will stay with me forever.had a quickie in the bogroom one arvo and the bosslady got up me bacause i did not buy a short time room LOL.only in LOS love soi 6.
The wife and I actually checked into Queen Vic yesterday with the intent of doing a bar crawl with a drink in everybar. It wont be in one day but with a few bars down already we are on track.....🥳🥳
Done the Soi 6 gauntlet many times.....always a fun time looking at the ladies in each bar and then finding one that catches your eye...just like Trevor says....no need to buy a lady drink when you enter a bar....somtimes.....the mamasaan may approach you asking if you want a lady to sit with you....be polite and say 'not right now....maybe later'...your money and yiu choose when and how you spend it
Another excellent video from Trev. I'm married to a lovely Thai Lady but we still occasionally head down to Pattaya Beach for some beers and laughs. Always good fun and I find the ladies are respectful when you're with a woman.
I really enjoyed Soi 6 but as I was on my own it was a bit intimidating and so I went and sat in the pizza bar for a slice of pizza to then have a good look at the 4 or 5 bars opposite to pick which one I wanted with no pressure. And youre right Trevor, if you find it hard to say no down here you'll struggle lol :)
Soi 6 and tree town are my absolute favorite the girls are verry nice not disrespecting or on there phones 24 7 atol . Also the vibe is just verry pleasant
Thanks for the videos. I have been watching your videos for several weeks now and have learned quite a bit. I will be making my first trip to Thailand in the next few months scouting retirement locations. I have a few questions. What if you don't drink? Where would you go to meet women who are a little more mature? Where are the bars that are intended for older gents (a bit more low-key)? Thanks again Buzz!
I stay at A-One Royal Cruise to be close to Soi 6. I spend much of my time in Corner Bar, but do enjoy the other bars and their attractions, too. Love the fact that the girls don't care that I'm in my 60s. Oh, be sure to have your hotel register their identity when you take them home.
Mate Ive just lobbed home after a month. And anyone that says the city is dead must be staying out by 31 hwy. The city is back to that loveable mayhem, I concede tbings have changed but not for the negative brother its still nuts!! With regard to the 6, its love or hate Ive been loving the 6 since 2002 and in contrast its been 9 years since Ive set foot on walking street for any reason other than to drop coffee beans to Phil 🤣 B.
Wise to take a left halfway along the LB soi. A small cluster of bars at the top can be a bit iffy, especially late at night. Gotta be a bit aware. But as you say, respect is key.
Hi Trevor. I have stayed in the queen vic they sell real English ale Old speckled hen. They have rooms the only problems no lift narrow stairs and iff you enter or leave when the bar is closed you have to use the emergency exit which is on soi 6.1😅. Bye
Hi Trev, great, sound advice for what to do and what goes on in soi 6. Just a question...after 10 days of rutting like a demented ram and doikling 45 or 50 young beauties is there just a normal, quiet pub you can sit in, very quietly with no hassles and just compute what has happened or is there no such thing in Pattaya?
It's called a Hospital hahahahahahahaha nah seriously, you can go back and tell them to leave ya alone, or you could hit up less attentive (posh word) bars such as those in Buakhao, Treetown or Pothole
Hi trev stayed in the queen Vic in 2003 nice large room great food but as you said there was thousands of girls down there then you had to run the gauntlet every time you left the pub. They used to lock the doors at the front. They gave you a key for the back door which you had to access by the fire escape if you come back I. N the early hours of the morning. had a fantastic time, but not for the faint hearted.
You go to the 6 to enjoy yourself and live in an alternate reality for however long you stay there for. There's fewer places in the world that you can be yourself now that everyone is WOKE 555
If you are looking to avoid the gauntlet to get from Beach Rd to 2nd Rd or vise versa, going down the deceptively empty looking Soi 6-1 alley will land you in a different type of gauntlet. Like trap door spiders three ladyboys smoking crystal meth jumped out at me when I was simply trying to get from 2nd rd to Beach Rd. Only time I felt in danger the entire time...but saying no-thank you worked. Still, it was quite a surprise. So if you don't want that kind of thing, just don't go down Soi 6-1.
@@Buzzinpattaya It wouldn't have been as much of a shock had the three ladyboys not offered me a hit from their meth pipe. Was actually more worried that some cop would see this and think I was somehow involved. I made it abundantly clear that I wanted no part of any illegal substances. Also, I have to say, three leather clad, tattooed 6 foot ladyboys tweaking on Ice is a pretty frightening site to be confronted with. Other than that I really didn't see too much in the way of being offered drugs. I heard somewhere that a lot of the folks offering illegal dope are actually working with the police to ensnare people. Good advice...Just say No. That said, what are the rules re marijuana at this time, I recall there were a lot of gray areas.
I grew up on this street, Café Ole was a regular bar for expats just down the street towards the beach from queen Viktoria from the mid 90s to the mid 2000s, sadly shuttered and sold off, but I still know the proprietors. Even as a 8 - 13 year old half breed, I was treated with respect from the ladies in the neighboring bars whom acted like my older sisters in regards to the morality of the environment. Coming from that upbringing, I've survived 2 theatres of war from the American perspective and honestly nothing comes close to being real than Soi 6 on a weekend night.
Dragging you in by the short and curlies 😂😂 So true that in my experience. My mate whose lived in Thailand forever always refers to that as "the Bangkok handshake" 😜
I like to walk into these establishments and tell the mama-san that I want to drink 1 beer alone and to let me choose the girl I want to sit with after I finish my beer. Otherwise 4 or 5 may sit down with you right when you walk in and they all ask for lady drinks.
This street reminds me of a street in Manila, called P. Burgos. It’s in Makati. Same exact thing. Each side is lined with girlie bars. For about three blocks. Each bar trying to get your attention. I would have my favorites. Some fun times there. This street looks the same in terms of some good times. But like you said you still have to be smart. Until you get really drunk at least! The Spider Bar looked nice. Great video as usual! 👍
Just got back from a 4 month stay in Pattaya and Soi is excellent fun, just a note the bars closer to beach rd are open to 2 am where the bars mostly closer to second rd close at midnight some 1 am. The real only problem with soi not enough girls spoke English well enough to have a conversation you end using your phone to translate. But for most part you can have mild to wild something for everyone. Like many Soi’s if your still around closing time and your plan was not to choose to bring a friend home the girls and the manager are going to put some serious pressure on you to change your mind, but if you play your cards right you just might say keep a extra 1000-1500 baht in your wallet say the 30 mins before that. And guess if your in sales and you can’t close a deal you might get a little pissy so don’t be surprised if you don’t get the warmest walking out the door to say on a rare occasion but if your polite to them their polite to you.
I’ve spent a lot of time down Soi 6. What a place. It really is running the gauntlet. My favourite time was songkran 2018, it was just pure carnage, atmosphere was electric and everyone was just happy and having a great time. Spider bar is my go to place down there. One day me and my mate had a 1000 baht bet, who could have the most girls in a day? So we had 2 jellies each and went on our merry way, zig zagging from bar to bar. We both finished on double figures but I won by one although he argued the fact that my last one didn’t count as it was in Pook bar, if you know you know. In for a penny in for a pound 🤣 Night finished with me getting knocked down by a motorbike on 6/1 just behind spider bar but no injuries luckily enough. It can get super expensive very quickly down there but it’s a great laugh. Can’t wait to get back, it’s been 3 years already.
I went in the 3 Angels bar on Soi 6 last week. I had a drink then 2 girls come up to me and started talking to me. I brought them both a drink. I couldn’t decide which girl I liked more so I decided on both for ST. I thought the price quoted was for both but it was for one. Worked out a bit expensive but I thought it was worth it in the end🙂

Great vlog Trev was in pats last month and had a great time Pattaya will change ,but room for everyone,my experience is there’s no place on the planet that compares just my opinion ,life is all about living we are here for a good time,still great value for your money,😻😻
Nice one mate
Always good to actually know about the Do's & Don'ts in places youve never actually been to before and to be put into check early-"Thanks."
Cheers mate
Took a Pattaya newbie down 6 in February, guy from the States, ex-marine, built like a tank. His head was on a swivel and he literally had no clue where to look or what to do 😂walked 2nd road to Beach Road and halfway back then dropped into a couple of bars and just enjoyed the vibe.
Hahaha can picture it
@@Buzzinpattaya we’ve all been there Trevor 😂 from memory we went in to Roxy, Toy Box and another I can’t remember but the manager was a Scot called Alex. Even funnier, I left Pattaya 2-days later, the Yank was there another 10-days or so and spent a fair few of them on Soi 6 😝 met up with him again in Bangkok at the end of my vacation so he did survive - just!
Never dull watching a soi 6 video the real walking street of Pattaya from what I can tell. Thx Trev all the best!
Glad you enjoyed it mate thank you
It’s a must see for a Newbie. Preferred it back in the day when most were behind closed doors. Used to spend a lot of time on the 6. Queen Vic was the escape from the girls for some food. Spider is my fav for people watching. Had a great time in Red point last year. The girls were really beautiful. It’s a fun Soi but now I prefer Buakhao area.
Cheers mate and yeah back then was great fun
Yeah Trev for me I like the soi been going a long long time. Highly recommend it if you’re on holiday and even if you’re not, get yourself down there you’ll have a good time loads of fun. I always visit frequently when I’m in town.
Nice one mate cheers
For any pattaya 1st timers dont try and do all at once. start with tree town then LK metro
Another night walking street
Another night soi 6
Dont take out lots of money with you
Dont be presureised into buying drinks (just say your looking)
Dont get a girl after 1am
Great shout mate cheers
This is helpful info as iv never been but really want to. Iv gotta ask why no girls after 1am
@@chrisellis9689 its a good question.
Not all but many girls from bar or gogo with find any excuise (have to feed dog/cat, they need to be up early) just to leave you early and go home.
They wont go back to bar/gogo its just an opotunity for them to earn their money and go home.
@@chrisellis9689 ive done this myself and after 20mins even though we hadnt really gone into it she was going and nothing you can do.
Wow, I am amazed that Jimmy Mac's is still there.
I used to go there for breakfast in the nineties and even remember Jimmy Mac himself sitting in the corner before he passed away.
It is iconic.
Cheers mate
Best pub crawl street I know of. Been here many times, last time was a month ago. First time was 2001! I must admit that I liked it more when the bars were not all open fronted with competing noise. Could go inside and be more private like King Kong and a few others that remain.
No probs mate nice one
Glad Sawyer six is still there I haven’t been there in 10 years can’t wait this year to be there again
all okay mate
I love soi six closely followed by LK metro. Although I'm heading back in December for the first time since Covid
Nice one mate
mate i really appreciate how you came here during the day, it really added to the mystery of what to expect on the first soi 6 experience, im here in pattaya at the moment & on my first night time explore of soi 6 omg talk about running the gauntlet! 😂 i landed at the beach before landing in a bar 😅 after knowing what to expect & whats on offer i returned some nights later with a cool & calm mind, walked up & down the entire strip in search of an absolute stunner & luckily i found what i was looking for 😍 we got on really well & no that does not happen with every girl you sit with as ive had bad experiences in the past too (patong, phuket.) you find out pretty quickly if shes keen to spend time with you or not so happy days & overall its been a brilliant experience for me 👌 enjoying it here so much i went to see mark to extend my visa to stay another 30 days 😂 but really pattaya is so relaxing i love walking along the beach every day im so glad i made the trip here to find out for myself 😁
glad you had a great time mate
The first time I went to Sol 6 it was very intimidating, confusing, and overwhelming. Too many girls, too many bars. At the end of the day, I succumb to the temptations haha. It's an experience I will be doing again; until this day I don't remember what bar I went to lol.
Mate you and many others have weakened as you walk down lol
Every trip make a trip down to the soi and always had a great time. Lucky Love and Saigon have always been a great time.
Absolutely mate
Hi trev nice stroll down soi 6 can't believe people keep saying it's changed everywhere has changed not just Pattaya where I lived bars were bouncing it had ,5 night clubs now has 1 night club and mostly half filled pubs so you collect memories from that era your living in, in 10 years time you will get people saying Pattaya was far better in 2023 it's a generation thing like songs plenty of bars plenty of girls live life now forget the past enjoy Pattaya it's buzzing
Cheers mate and yeah loads of fun awaits ya
Pattaya Blue Sky Hotel is just around he corner on Soi 5. I had a couple of fun nights on Soi 6 last time. Always worth a visit. Variety is the spice of life
Cheers mate much appreciated
Fun tour! I really enjoyed the walk & talk. Greetings from Chicago.
Glad you enjoyed it and hi mate
Bangkok Motor Show last week was a 'million miles' away from this place! The girls both working and visiting the BKK Motor Show were really decently dressed, mostly with long hair tidily kept back, tall , slim and polite--no tattoos at all ! No trash types! No issues to talk with them on the show stands, very polite! Real Thai people!
Thanks for sharing, wish I had gone but sadly up to my eyes in videos
@@Buzzinpattaya Great change of scenery Trevor! The halls and exhibition stands along with cars and bikes were world class! Big up to the organizers! Free entry for pensioners too! Yippee! * You could have made a superb video at that event! Shame you missed it mate!
My last trip to Pattaya was 12 nights. I stayed in Soi Bukhoa area and motor taxied down to Soi 6 two times. Had a great time both nights. It's incredibly intense, but really fun. There is a little pizza place in about the middle to recharge and to help sober up a bit. You're right about the young guys. When I was there there was a lot of US Military guys walking around on R&R. The girls were all over them.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us
Sadly young guys have slowly killed the eagerness of Thai girls with older blokes. Nothing can be done about it and it's common sense but it friggen sucks having to put up with getting rejected because of it. Still I do well with the 6s and 7s and as long as they go at it like horndogs I'm pretty satisfied. Got 2 regular 7s I see in rotating weeks but occasionally try a newbie. The last newbie I had though was a shocker of a performer. The one before that hassled me for extra funds so I'm starting to lose faith
Enjoyed this one Trev. Often hear soi 6 mentioned but first time I've properly seen it 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice stroll and good advice. I park my scooter on 6/1 on occasion but a couple times I parked close to Beach Road and LB's that were hanging out in the general vicinity tried to charge me parking fees when I went to retrieve my bike. lol. "I was watching your motobike for you, can I have 100 baht". I paid and kept it cordial but just be warned, it's a dark alley at night and a little dicey at times especially when Soi 6 is utter mayhem. I park right on Beach Road more when Soi 6 is crowded and I'm bouncing from one bar to the next.
hahaha they never miss an opportunity mate haha
Thanks for another informative vid. I have long thought that soi 6 would economically explode if they made it like walking street in the evenings. Think soi Cowboy in BKK. Removing all the vehicles, including all the parked vehicles from the lefthand side, in the evenings only would transform it. What do you think?
Thanks mate
nah dont change anything there is already a walking street keep the magic
I used to frequent Soi 6 in the days of Kiss Kool, Sweet dreams,and the Bret bar. Fun times made a lot of friends, always had my lunch at Queen
Vic either fish and chips or cottage pie was in my opinion the best in town. Will add for the ones that have never been here, don't be afraid to say "no thank you"
Nice one mate
I had for three on each arm dragging me either way like a tug of war once. I broke free and walked away fast and bosh went arse over tipon a banana skin lol. They came and picked me up and took me in a bar and cleaned me up. Next day my head was hurting as I hit it when I went down. And my shoulder was killing me where they tugged me. Mad soi but good. Came home a couple of days later and was out working in the cab. Stopped for this tasty Oriental bird at a zebra crossing. Smiled at her and she looked at me like she would a seeing something smelly she had trod on. I thought I was a handsome man I shouted at her lol. Ps I was watching keV in Thailand video at complay. There was a real tasty sort done up as a stormtrooper. keV said cor I'd like to storm troop that lol, brilliant
hahahahaha bet ya loved all the caring and attention, took one for the team there mate lol
Yes walked down that lane way and felt like walking into a trap door spider hole they were everywhere at night fewer at the day. Took some mates down there so they get a lay of the land for what could be install if you made a mistake.
Cheers mate
Songkran will be mental this year 4 years since it was celebrated it will be absolute nuts
Don't PLEASE lol
went to the old style soi 6 nearly every day for 8mths when it was all behind close doors,by golly gee there was some fantastic times to be had,my last full day in Pattaya the BGs walked along the bar took their knickers off and stuck em on me head then squat down for a inspection,bloody will stay with me forever.had a quickie in the bogroom one arvo and the bosslady got up me bacause i did not buy a short time room LOL.only in LOS love soi 6.
Mate so many great memories
Hey Trev keep up the work and keep the information coming
Thanks, will do what I can
The wife and I actually checked into Queen Vic yesterday with the intent of doing a bar crawl with a drink in everybar. It wont be in one day but with a few bars down already we are on track.....🥳🥳
Fair play have a great time
Nice to see, the streets when you’re quiet 🫶👍
Cheers
Glad to see the proper pub is still there. Good breakfasts.
Cheers mate
Done the Soi 6 gauntlet many times.....always a fun time looking at the ladies in each bar and then finding one that catches your eye...just like Trevor says....no need to buy a lady drink when you enter a bar....somtimes.....the mamasaan may approach you asking if you want a lady to sit with you....be polite and say 'not right now....maybe later'...your money and yiu choose when and how you spend it
Good stuff!
Another excellent video from Trev. I'm married to a lovely Thai Lady but we still occasionally head down to Pattaya Beach for some beers and laughs. Always good fun and I find the ladies are respectful when you're with a woman.
Cheers mate much appreciated thank you
Don't think i'd even make it down 1 side of the 6 having a beer in every bar! That's a lot of beer!
Show off!!!! I wouldn't get past bar #10 lol
Spider 🕷️ bar was my first taste of soi 6 and continues to be my go-to spot
Nice one
Love Soi 6. Be careful it's infectious.
totally lol
A nice trip down Soi 6. Thanks Trev!
Thanks mate
I really enjoyed Soi 6 but as I was on my own it was a bit intimidating and so I went and sat in the pizza bar for a slice of pizza to then have a good look at the 4 or 5 bars opposite to pick which one I wanted with no pressure. And youre right Trevor, if you find it hard to say no down here you'll struggle lol :)
As long as you enjoyed your visit
@@Buzzinpattaya that's also a good way to approach
Soi 6 and tree town are my absolute favorite the girls are verry nice not disrespecting or on there phones 24 7 atol . Also the vibe is just verry pleasant
Nice one mate
Thanks for the videos. I have been watching your videos for several weeks now and have learned quite a bit. I will be making my first trip to Thailand in the next few months scouting retirement locations. I have a few questions. What if you don't drink? Where would you go to meet women who are a little more mature? Where are the bars that are intended for older gents (a bit more low-key)? Thanks again Buzz!
Hi mate, drink what you want mate nobody cares, older ladies stay out of agogo's all the rest will just happen
@Plan B Thank you
@@Buzzinpattaya Thank you Buzz!
I stay at A-One Royal Cruise to be close to Soi 6. I spend much of my time in Corner Bar, but do enjoy the other bars and their attractions, too. Love the fact that the girls don't care that I'm in my 60s. Oh, be sure to have your hotel register their identity when you take them home.
Nice one mate thank you for sharing your experience with us
I enjoyed soi 6, its not to commercial or touristic like walking street.
Gotcha
Question so is soi6 in pattaya to like walking street? Also what is the difference
Soi 6, even early afternoon has an adventurous vibe about it
Indeed mate
Mate Ive just lobbed home after a month. And anyone that says the city is dead must be staying out by 31 hwy.
The city is back to that loveable mayhem, I concede tbings have changed but not for the negative brother its still nuts!!
With regard to the 6, its love or hate Ive been loving the 6 since 2002 and in contrast its been 9 years since Ive set foot on walking street for any reason other than to drop coffee beans to Phil 🤣
B.
well said mate absolutely!!!
Wise to take a left halfway along the LB soi. A small cluster of bars at the top can be a bit iffy, especially late at night. Gotta be a bit aware. But as you say, respect is key.
Gotcha mate
Coming end of May, your videos are really helpful mate
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the headsup on Soi 6/1. Think I'll stick to Soi 6, hahaha. You're right about visiting Pattaya at least once.
Hahaha all good mate
Yes. My first love.. The 6. Oooyeahhh
hahaha and millions of others
Hi Trevor. I have stayed in the queen vic they sell real English ale Old speckled hen. They have rooms the only problems no lift narrow stairs and iff you enter or leave when the bar is closed you have to use the emergency exit which is on soi 6.1😅. Bye
Nice one mate thanks for sharing
Hi Trev, great, sound advice for what to do and what goes on in soi 6. Just a question...after 10 days of rutting like a demented ram and doikling 45 or 50 young beauties is there just a normal, quiet pub you can sit in, very quietly with no hassles and just compute what has happened or is there no such thing in Pattaya?
It's called a Hospital hahahahahahahaha nah seriously, you can go back and tell them to leave ya alone, or you could hit up less attentive (posh word) bars such as those in Buakhao, Treetown or Pothole
Hi trev stayed in the queen Vic in 2003 nice large room great food but as you said there was thousands of girls down there then you had to run the gauntlet every time you left the pub. They used to lock the doors at the front. They gave you a key for the back door which you had to access by the fire escape if you come back I. N the early hours of the morning. had a fantastic time, but not for the faint hearted.
Haha can imagine you going back to ya room thinking , come on son I got this lol
I just got back from a 3 week holiday and soi 6 I started to avoid it when possible 😅
Why?
Many other options out there
You go to the 6 to enjoy yourself and live in an alternate reality for however long you stay there for. There's fewer places in the world that you can be yourself now that everyone is WOKE 555
Gotcha mate
"Thought provoking attire" Love it!
Lol you know me and my play on words 555
The infamous and great soi 6 and highly recommend 555
555
Cut through soi 6/1 many times. Never had a problem , just be pleasant.
Well said
If you are looking to avoid the gauntlet to get from Beach Rd to 2nd Rd or vise versa, going down the deceptively empty looking Soi 6-1 alley will land you in a different type of gauntlet. Like trap door spiders three ladyboys smoking crystal meth jumped out at me when I was simply trying to get from 2nd rd to Beach Rd. Only time I felt in danger the entire time...but saying no-thank you worked. Still, it was quite a surprise. So if you don't want that kind of thing, just don't go down Soi 6-1.
6/1 is as you said they appear from outta nowhere lol
@@Buzzinpattaya It wouldn't have been as much of a shock had the three ladyboys not offered me a hit from their meth pipe. Was actually more worried that some cop would see this and think I was somehow involved.
I made it abundantly clear that I wanted no part of any illegal substances.
Also, I have to say, three leather clad, tattooed 6 foot ladyboys tweaking on Ice is a pretty frightening site to be confronted with.
Other than that I really didn't see too much in the way of being offered drugs.
I heard somewhere that a lot of the folks offering illegal dope are actually working with the police to ensnare people. Good advice...Just say No.
That said, what are the rules re marijuana at this time, I recall there were a lot of gray areas.
I grew up on this street, Café Ole was a regular bar for expats just down the street towards the beach from queen Viktoria from the mid 90s to the mid 2000s, sadly shuttered and sold off, but I still know the proprietors. Even as a 8 - 13 year old half breed, I was treated with respect from the ladies in the neighboring bars whom acted like my older sisters in regards to the morality of the environment. Coming from that upbringing, I've survived 2 theatres of war from the American perspective and honestly nothing comes close to being real than Soi 6 on a weekend night.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us mate much appreciated
Dragging you in by the short and curlies 😂😂
So true that in my experience. My mate whose lived in Thailand forever always refers to that as "the Bangkok handshake" 😜
Haha damn that hurts lol
Last time i was there was about 15 years ago went to bulldog bar opposite qheen vic many great memories
Nice one mate
Treetown for me. Soi 6 is more for cars than pedestrians.
Gotcha
No cars inside but plenty of rides
Loved spider bar, got myself a vest from there a few years back. I miss Patters......💋💋💖💖
Nice one mate
Possibly the best street in the world
Indeed
The restaurant on the corner soi6 beach road is spot on. Brilliant food in there
Cheers mate
Just had this come from my friend in Soi 6.
She is a cashier in the bar.
Saying where are the coustomers.
Gotcha
If you need anything related to visas/overstay/visa runs etc. I fully recommend the agency located at the rear of the Queen Vic pub.
Cheers for the tip on visas . Thanks
Thanks
I like to walk into these establishments and tell the mama-san that I want to drink 1 beer alone and to let me choose the girl I want to sit with after I finish my beer. Otherwise 4 or 5 may sit down with you right when you walk in and they all ask for lady drinks.
That works mate, no pressure as ya said
@@Buzzinpattaya there is always pressure 😂
Great info and video Trev
Thanks 👍
Soi 6 is a street of hunting,bargain,pick n go
reminds me of an old style sweet shop hahahaha I will have a quarter of this and that lol
@@Buzzinpattaya but for the first timer hard to excess or too many window shopper just walk passed ( no result )
The 6 can be so much fun just going there to do some people watching can be entertaining
So much fun people watching
It's a shame they don't understand the benefits of a pedestrian only street, it would be so much better without traffic.
Yeah be great fun
Didn't know about Darren, that's incredibly sad.. What a great chap! You Done some great interviews with him
Very nice guy, sadly missed, the business is still in operation
If a girl grabs your arm in the street do you need to pay a bar fine to the place she's outside? What's the protocol there?
If she works in a bar yes if not then no
I had a great time on soi 6 , lots of laughs, not with just the girls bur great people there to
Cheers mate
I hope that getting on the podium today is not as tough as having a Thai step daughter 😕 😜
Far easier mate and well deserved BOSH
Stay strong mate. Well played by the way
This street reminds me of a street in Manila, called P. Burgos. It’s in Makati. Same exact thing. Each side is lined with girlie bars. For about three blocks. Each bar trying to get your attention. I would have my favorites. Some fun times there. This street looks the same in terms of some good times. But like you said you still have to be smart. Until you get really drunk at least! The Spider Bar looked nice. Great video as usual! 👍
Wow mate thank for sharing your experience
Would be stoked to run into you down there, would def buy u a beer, or 3.
When you are here mate let me know
Just got back from a 4 month stay in Pattaya and Soi is excellent fun, just a note the bars closer to beach rd are open to 2 am where the bars mostly closer to second rd close at midnight some 1 am. The real only problem with soi not enough girls spoke English well enough to have a conversation you end using your phone to translate. But for most part you can have mild to wild something for everyone. Like many Soi’s if your still around closing time and your plan was not to choose to bring a friend home the girls and the manager are going to put some serious pressure on you to change your mind, but if you play your cards right you just might say keep a extra 1000-1500 baht in your wallet say the 30 mins before that. And guess if your in sales and you can’t close a deal you might get a little pissy so don’t be surprised if you don’t get the warmest walking out the door to say on a rare occasion but if your polite to them their polite to you.
Thanks mate much appreciated
Great! Hows the crime rate over there? Any problems with that?
Am here in Pattaya now. It my second day. Why it smell very bad and the electric cable is everywhere. 😂😅
Welcome to Pattaya lol
any advice for new travelers to Thailand? any scams to look out for? Ive heard so many different things not sure what to think about it
I’ve spent a lot of time down Soi 6. What a place. It really is running the gauntlet. My favourite time was songkran 2018, it was just pure carnage, atmosphere was electric and everyone was just happy and having a great time. Spider bar is my go to place down there. One day me and my mate had a 1000 baht bet, who could have the most girls in a day? So we had 2 jellies each and went on our merry way, zig zagging from bar to bar. We both finished on double figures but I won by one although he argued the fact that my last one didn’t count as it was in Pook bar, if you know you know. In for a penny in for a pound 🤣 Night finished with me getting knocked down by a motorbike on 6/1 just behind spider bar but no injuries luckily enough. It can get super expensive very quickly down there but it’s a great laugh. Can’t wait to get back, it’s been 3 years already.
Haha brilliant mate
