I'm never bored on Samui, so much else to do and enjoy, including the party life that presumably is quite different from Pattaya, at least from what I have experienced up there. Probably, as well as everywhere in Thailand, depending whom you mingle with and how you behave – there plenty of single females visting the island – if you specific are considering a Thai girlfriend, some level of providing might also be a benefit, if not a must. And for "etc.....", yes there are also numerous rainbow-options available...???? Whats your view on Lamai vs Maenam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't you ever wondered why we all left to conquer the world? As for the islands, I was always put off by the m/c mafia waiting for foreigners at the ferry. Boring, What more does anyone need than warm weather and an internet connection? Edited October 31, 2022 by BritManToo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJ2U Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Any island can get boring. If you are going to get bored either island is a great place to do it! I enjoyed it, but I was there only two weeks. My wife was bored stiff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunPer Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 2 hours ago, Sparktrader said: Whats your view on Lamai vs Maenam? I've been staying both places, but mainly Maenam. Lamai beach village or area is cozy, have more restaurants and life on the beach area and more nightlife in form of beer bars (with ladies) and a square with a Thai boxing arena in action on Saturdays (I don't know if it's reopened by now after Covid lockdown); it's merely like you expect Thailand. I however don't fancy the beach as much as Maenam, more waves and miss the view to neighboring islands. Maenam beach is quite long – about 5 kilometers – and little different, depending of where you stay on that stretch; however, beach and view almost the same. In both ends of Maenam there are some few beer bars by the ring road, while in the middle section there are no nightlife like that, but cozy pubs and restaurants. Maenam is more laid down than Lamai. Personally I prefer to live in Maenam, while lamai has been great for shorter stays and bit of partying; especially earlier, when they had some late clubs – that part of the nightlife has unfortunately ceased to exist.

Hang around the shop when she's working and go in and buy a few things to get to know her I have a few friends who do just that. They hit on civilians all the time. And they do fairly well. You need to speak some Thai, you nedd to have some game, and it helps if you have some bling. They love that. Many are single, and some are curious or game.

Your best bet is to book something for the first few night and then find it locally, either by simply asking – it use to work quite well – or rent some kind of transportation and get around the island, and look for "For Rent"-signs. You can find Okay bungalows fan-only from about 8,000 baht a month and with aircon in the area from 10,000 baht a month, even within walking distance from beach, restaurants and shopping...???? can you pm me a place so I can call them and book it?

But most women are still going to want some sort of financial support from a man - especially if there's no interest in marriage. If it's just about money than get a hooker because wives and even those with modest needs are far more expensive than hourly companionship. Of course, these two relationships are entirely different as well. The saddest thing in Thailand and I'm starting to see more of it as tourists flow in is the short / long term farang with the hooker rental gf dressed in sensible clothes. She's still a hooker and is just playing a role providing a GFE. A favorite hook up meeting point seems to be Asoke station/ T21 but I see couples roaming as far north as HuayKwang - usually lost hahahaha Judd Fairs in Hauy Kwang is a great place for a date!

There are many, but I'm not a booking agency, so I don't drive around the island to look for signs and telephone numbers. In Maenam there are Tripple S (Google Street View-link HERE) and Madam P (next door with the ATM machine in front), the latter I think is called Maenam Bungalows, but I don't have their phone number, just sawadee the owners several times a week, when I pass. Both are about 100 meters from an Asian Top 10-beach. Then there is this one, some 300-400 meters from the beach (GSV HERE), and in Bo Phut I know this one "Meesang Garden Resort" (GSV HERE). You can actually use GSV to get around, check area and find something of interest, but mind you that the GSV-images might be 5-6 years old...????
