Well I'm going home.  Alone.  I was told my many people that we don't have a snowballs chance in he'll to get her a tourist visa since she has "no reason to come back here".  No job no family no business she's got zilch. 

 

I can't sleep I can't walk I can't think I can't enjoy a meal.  Everything sucks.

 

Well see how supportive she is after I've had to endure three or more surgeries all by myself.  I'm going to be getting into some serious grass back home which should at least glaze everything over.  I'm filing for the k3 when I get back to the USA.

 

I'm done with Thailand in general lads.  This was the last hurrah.  Goodbye, Siam.  I'm going to buy a house in West Virginia or rural western PA near a Wal-Mart and just call it quits.  She will just have to adjust to the all American lifestyle.

Good luck with everything, I think I’m done and ready to call it quits too, just having a bad day.

Wise idea, first week in Bangkok, then a month in Pattaya, and a few days in Bangkok again before leaving.

 

Please heed two important posts, one from Satcommlee about the electric bill which usually comes separate from the monthly rent in Pattaya.

 

Also the other about walking around Soi Buakhow to find the THB 6000 monthly places, they are plentiful, and if you spend a day trying to find the most suitable one, it will pay off, you just have to find a place to store your luggage for the day while walking around.

 

Keeping your food budget down is no problem with a trip to a supermarket once a week or so, for a loaf of bread and plenty of sandwich fillings including veggies or whatever you like to put in them (your room should have fridge).

 

Happy Budget Holiday!

Yes I’ll be careful about the electric bill, make sure I am not getting ripped off. I don’t have any luggage, just a backpack. 

Ill stick to Thai street food and food courts for my budget meals, bread in Thailand sucks.

There are so many rooms for rent in bkk between 4000 and 5000 baht a month with aircon so that must be no problem . And then you can get your dates online your food in the streets . But as some say , if there is alcohol in play 9 out of 10 blow budget .

Where are these rooms ? If they are far away from BTS/MRT lines, in the outskirts, I’m not really interested.

Ok I’ve made my mind up, 1 week in Bangkok in a hostel or hotel, then go to Pattaya for 1 month, find a cheap 1 month rental, should be easy to find in low season, then back to Bangkok for 4 days then go back home 

I might be staying in Bangkok for 1 month alone and I want to stay in a cheap apartment to save money, i know about Airbnb but is there anywhere else I can find out and rent an apartment? I’m not too picky, it doesn’t have to be too fancy...

They must be nice places as that is actually expensive for one month on Soi B.

Mostly LB and working girls will be your neighbors. Hope you are OK with that.

Ok any places you recommend on Soi B that’s cheaper ?

yes, the 10baht bus route goes from jomtien beach rd to pattaya...

sawasdee sunshine, in soi honey, or the sawasdee hotel in soi diana, both have discounted rates for monthly rentals..there are others along soi buakhau,similar prices...

its also possible to meet ladies for "free sex", at the discos in walking st...try thai love links..

im old...but its not that hard to find free sex.....but i dont mind paying either, if the the girl is nice...then, again....if your a 'cheap charlie', you wont even be able to buy the girls a drink or take them for dinner...maybe you need to 'get real'... nothing comes for free in thailand....

Most Thai girls don’t expect fancy restaurant meals, decent Thai girls are happy with the 40 baht noodle soup or pad kra phao, not sure what Thai girls your hanging around with ? I’m not a newbie. I’m also not flat out broke I can afford a drink every now and then. I hate walking street but might try it out out of curiosity. Yeah this trip I am a cheap Charlie but as you should know anything is possible in Pattaya. Im young slim and it’s low season, it’s gonna be good times 

Just found an Airbnb in Jomtein 1 month for £180. Looks modern and nice too, can you get the 10 baht bus to Pattaya beach from jomtein ?

pattaya is cheaper than bangkok, for accomadation,drinks and ladies..its possible to eat very cheaply buying local foods {or in my case}, i buy vegetables from supermarket...i can easily feed myself for under 200thb per day..some hotels around soi buakhou area..do monthly rentals for approx 6,000thb.

so your budget is definitely possible, however, i find it hard to understand why anybody would travel so far, to then find that they need to holiday on a minimal budget,are you insured???

surely it would be better,in the future, to reduce your stay or wait until you have more funds..

whats the point in being a 'cheap charlie',while on holiday???

Do you know which hotels in Soi Buakhao do the 6000 baht month rentals ? 

For the record, last year I managed to get sex 2 times for free in Pattaya, with non sex workers, with a Lao girl and a older Thai lady who spoke no English, so it’s possible. It’s Thailand, it’s Pattaya, when your a skinny young clean shaven White British guy like me it’s always possible to get laid in Pattaya for sex, unfortunately mainly ladyboys are the ones interested but sometimes women are interested too. Anything is possible! 

Honestly I think some of you guys are very negative, let’s say my budget is £2300, and I spend £300 on a months stay in a hotel or apartment, remember July is low season so prices are cheaper, i have £2000 to spend on food and drinks, you say I only have 2K a day, but I can easily only spend  500 or 1K per day, why you think I always spend 2K everyday? You can get cheap meals for 40 or 50 baht. I said I am not a party guy, I honestly hate the fake chats at the bars with the bar girls, I also am not a big fan of alcohol, I’m into health, so water, a morning coffee, maybe a fruit smoothie, and maybe a beer once in a while, I will not be bar fining any girl. I haven’t done that in years.

I could have a bigger budget, £2300 is just a rough guess, it could be more, let’s hope so. As said I’ve been to Thailand 6 times so I know what I’m doing , it’s possible to survive in Thailand on a low budget, especially in low season. Why did I decide to come to Thailand with a low budget? Because I have no work for 6 weeks and sitting at home in boring England for 6 weeks with hay fever would be boring as hell, I’d rather go to the Country I love and have fun, meet people, be happy etc .. 

I heard Phuket is more expensive and it’s rain season so in the south the weather is much worse, that’s why I don’t go there. 

Anyway, yes I’ll admit, maybe I should only be staying for 30 days, not 40, I’ll hold my hands up, probably shouldn’t of done that, but I just love Thailand and want to stay for as along as possible, I think I’ll be fine, it’s low season, prices are cheap. 

Still not sure where I’ll stay yet, to be honest, if I didn’t care about sex I would travel around Thailand and stay in dirt cheap hostels, but you guys know the power of women.. it’s addictive, looks like Pattaya is the safe option financially... If I could do both I would 2 weeks bkk then 2 weeks Pattaya..anyway guys try to be more positive, it’s low season, I’ll be fine

If you are leaning more to Bangkok now, post for some suggestions on a place to stay in the Bangkok forum for local input.

 

(dont post same topic, rename it etc)

I’m sort of leaning towards Bangkok, but Pattaya always has something attractive and addictive about it... men just seem to be drawn to it..but if I’m not drinking at bars and Banging hookers then what’s the point in staying there .. everything is about money over there.

Go to krabi pattaya is built around hookers, alcohol and pissing money... same for patong in phuket so go elsewhere.... try krabi or railay beach or parts of phuket outside patong.... you will have a small chance of finding any non working girls in pattaya with an interest in dating...

Rain season is normally worse in the south so that’s why I think it’s better to stay central like Bangkok or Pattaya, also I feel comfortable in Bangkok and Pattaya, I know what to expect, I know what fun I can have, if I book a months stay in Krabi and hate it then my holiday is ruined, yes that’s the disadvantage with Pattaya, it’s mostly hookers and bars, of course I can stay there and not participate in that stuff, and I have managed to get lucky twice (free sex) in Pattaya but your right it’s rare, won’t happen often. Anything can happen in Thailand, that’s what I’ve come to know over the years. 

Looks like I can get an Airbnb for 1 month for around £300 to £350 in Pattaya or Jomtein, maybe £400 in Bangkok, it’s 1 month stay so not illegal. I’ve already booked flights so has to be 40 days, maybe I over did it ..but I just want to stay in Thailand as long as possible, as mentioned I am not going to be drinking at bars really, not eating at expensive restaurants, I just want to chill, eat cheap food and meet women, preferably non sex workers. Pattaya has the beach and cheaper rooms and stuff, Bangkok has cheap food, more stuff to do and see, lots of girls to meet from dating apps, can’t do both if I’m staying Airbnb, I feel like Bangkok will be more fun as it’s easier to meet women, Pattaya is mainly for paying for sex and partying 

which I can’t do, but it’s possible to meet non sex workers in Pattaya, I’ve done it before..but it’s rare 

I’m 27 Male solo traveler from England, I’ll be heading to Thailand for the 7th time for a 40 day holiday in July, though this year my budget is low, I’ll have around £2300 British pounds to spend on accommodation, food, drink etc .. as my budget is low I think the cheaper option is to stay in one place and chill for a month, I’m not sure where to chill, I love Bangkok but Pattaya is okay too, I want to have fun with the Thai girls but I’ll prefer a non hooker, I guess my budget is too low to be Banging prostitutes everyday. Don’t fancy Phuket, I am not a party guy but I do need nightlife, I want to meet girls, I like nature, cheap Thai food, I want to relax and chill, not sure if Bangkok is best or Pattaya .. what do you guys think ?

As crazy as it sounds if you have bacterial prostate problems you're in the lucky category.  That's easily treatable.  I'm no longer certain I even have prostatitis.  I've been straining since 2014.  I got these infections this year.  The perineum and ano-rectal pain I have may be attributed to just internal hemherroid.  I think I will need to have some kind of surgery to "unblock" me, I'm just not sure what kind.  The main problem may not even be in my prostate it may be my urethra.  They can do something called a balloon catheter to unblock a stricture.  Not comfortable but it usually gets the job done.  I am just looking forward to seeing doctors back home.  This is not a good place to be stuck with these sort of issues.

Don’t forget your hernias you told me about, as mentioned before, they could be causing some of your problems too, plus the haemorrhoid, maybe a urethral Stricture, tight pelvic muscles etc .. can cause all kinds of problems. 

I found this blog post from a man a while ago and can relate to it a lot

If you are having difficulty voiding or having problems with retention a ct scan of the prostate and the tube test you mentioned (RU) is the best way to diagnose the problem.  The mri is not a bad idea either considering the cycling injury.  If all else fails for about the same price most people sink into a month long excursion into thailand you can probably get feeling better at the pt place I mentioned.  I'm going to the us embassy with a one year thai visa, 400k baht in the thai bank, two doctors letters, photos of us in the house, and my 90 percent disability letter.  I hope they'll grant the visa so we can go to the doc in america where my insurance will pay for everything.  I really need to go now.  I also have an internal hemherroid the size of a ping pong ball.  I'm blocked on both fronts.  Horrible.

Urologist wouldn’t do a CT scan with me because he said 1 out of every 200 patients end up getting cancer from the high radiation levels from the scan, I can only get MRI on my pelvis, prostate and bladder.

well at least your not giving up, I hope your wife is supportive, a lot of guys in your position would of jumped off the balcony by now but it’s good your trying to fix this. 

I do eat turmeric everyday and high antioxidant foods, foods that have an anti inflammatory properties, dark leafy greens, sweet potatoes, ginger, turmeric, fruit etc .. not sure if it helps or not though. 

I have flights booked to go to Bangkok on July 12, hopefully I’ll get the MRI before I leave. I’ll try and enjoy myself and take my mind off this pelvic stuff and have fun with the ladies with no pain hopefully, I’ll have a PT session before I go. If good news for all of us I’ll drink a cold chang to celebrate.

Fair enough, but a camera up the willy is the easiest way to spot urethra, strictures, prostate and bladder problems.

Yes it’s something I should definitely do if MRI comes back normal, I don’t think my problem is prostate, I don’t have a golf ball feeling in my rectum, I read that you and the OPs flare up started after flying to Thailand, well I’ve never had a flare up after flying into Thailand, what causes flare ups for me is certain exercises, sneezing, edging too much when masturbating. My main symptom is discomfort in my left pubic region, i have tingling sensations on my Perineum and balls, I can sometimes have frequent and painful urination, mainly during flare ups though. On rare occasions I get a quick flash of sharp burning nerve pain in Urethra when walking or doing some physical activity, and pain in rectum when moving around at work, but physio therapy has helped with that. As mentioned I had a nasty bike accident, I’ve had pelvic trauma, then months later I had sex 3 times in 1 night with a bar girl in Pattaya and 1 day later bang my pelvic symptoms started and my life was ruined. I’m convinced the pelvic trauma from the bicycle fall is the cause but it could also be hernia or urethral Stricture, Suicidal thoughts like you have is an issue, mental health etc .. also but physio therapy has helped slightly with that a bit ...

Why?

It's the best way to see what's going on and doesn't hurt.

MRI is an expensive waste of time and not that clear to see what's happening.

I want to rule out a hernia, I’m getting this MRI done through the NHS in England so not paying for it, I had a nasty bicycle accident before my pelvic problems started so the MRI will also check my pelvic structure etc.. it’s not a useless scan. If clear then I’ll check for Urethral Stricture.

I decided to try a month of Flagyl since all of my urine and semen keeps coming back sterile.  I put the wife on it for a week as that should clear anything out of her that could be potentially making my urethra pissed off.  Flagyl for a month will bust the prostate and kill any organisms like trich that doxycyline and Bactrim ds won't touch.

 

Thanks for the update, Bono.  Let me recommend two tests here to you:  an ultrasound of the prostate and a retrograde urethrogram.  The first one will tell you the exact size of your prostate and the second one will tell you if you have a stricture or not.

 

I've had both.  They tested me in 2016 for a stricture but I had actually never had an std at that point.  Since then I've had and been successfully treated for MH and UU.  Doc says these organisms both can cause strictures so once I get our visas ready to leave thailand, I'll have the RU done.

 

Sorry about the late reply.  I've been meditating a lot and trying to pretend this horrible disease isn't there.  Or cope with it better.  Or whatever.

Urology Doc wanted to stick a tube with a camera up my knob to check if I have Urethral Stricture, I declined for now, also declined antibiotics, I’ll see what the MRI shows if anything, if nothing shows then I’ll probably do the Urethral Stricture tube up the knob test. One step at a time. Sneezing makes things worse for me, hay fever season is coming soon, bad times. Learning to relax and meditate is a good idea. Keep fighting. 

Didn’t want to go back home to reality maybe, anyway whatever he was suffering with I hope he’s in a better place. RIP 

Just had my first urologist appointment, will be getting an MRI on my pelvis, bladder and prostate ! Hopefully I’ll find out what’s going on, doctor also mentioned Urethral Stricture ? Have you heard about that ?

That can be problematic in people with cp/cpps.  I'm going to wait to talk to my urologist about that.

Or maybe the hernia is causing your cp/cpps or causing some of the problems and if you fix it your symptoms will improve?

I have two huge hernias that were caused by straining due to cp cpps.   But the persistent urethritis is something else.  I'm getting my wife tested for trich next week.  That can be hard to detect as well, though.  I just got the first letter required for emergency travel to the usa.  We get the next one next week.  Then we book the emergency appointment at the embassy.  The doctor is ready in India to assist with my indian visa if this doesn't go through.  Still bedridden.  Still a mess.  Hoping to see Shoskes but we'll see.

So your getting surgery to fix the hernias right? 

Make sure you rule out hernias in the pelvic region, they can cause all kinds of problems in the pelvic area
