There is no other place offering more sex in SE Asia than the family friendly resort Pattaya. Where else should they go?!

Currently, P.I. is second only to LOS for open sex solicitation in Asia. Subic Bay was as notorious as Pattaya if not worse back in its heyday.

Subic and the Field Avenue in Angeles. At least they left many hotels there. Otherwise there would not be much infrastructure for tourists. And Angeles - the Walking Street of the Philippines. But also in Manila and... But nowadays there isn't much left in Subic and Barretto. At least not enough for so many soldiers.

The US Army should build a support ship with go-go bars, happy ending massages, short-time rooms, soapy massages and whatever other sex services Pattaya has to offer and call it Pattaya 2. There are many qualified Thai sex workers who could work there. Problem solved.

Have the U,S Navy gone to Pattaya specifically for prostitution ?

They'll probably spend what they have on beer first and then slip into something more comfortable before the cruise starts.

Russians beware! 

So far they have not been obtrusive in my Pattaya area.... (The Russians).... they are around as I hear the language and the men seem to have a particular recognizable look about them. I doubt very much the US military will see much of them..... unlike their previous flooding of the town, they were strutting around like they owned the place, and a Russian woman told me as much once. 

so all you TOUGH internet trolls hating on Americans..... go tell them to their face!!!!!   lol

 

USA all day!!!!!  Greatest country in the world!!!!!   Let the haters try to take down the superpower!!!

 

impossible!!!!

After the Daniel Smith debacle ended the party, the navy are finally dipping a toe back in the water. I saw a number of obvious sailors in starbucks at the end of soi 6 today but very few in the street itself. I think they are barred from fraternising with prostitutes still. The smart ones will be using dating apps and going to hotels. They may also be required to remain in groups.

The sailors have pretty much been neutered. Depending on rank they have a curfew. I have to imagine WS will be off limits. Not like my navy days when it was a free for all.

What problem? Have I missed some announcement? Problems so far seem to emanate only from ANF posters.

They are young people and I understand that they need to have fun. So why no party ships for them? Their life is serious enough.

 

Here in Pattaya they have to behave. There is always a lot of military police taking care of this. Sure they can have sex. But bad behaviour of US military staff shown on the Internet is not what the US Army wants.

They signed up for military duty and are being housed, fed, and paid. Note

 

In 2006, the Department of Defense made it a crime for a service member to hire a prostitute anywhere in the world; the penalties can include up to a year in prison, forfeiture of pay, and a dishonorable discharge.

So the DOD would hardly pay for free p***y on "party ships."???? Again, seems the problem is in your understanding, not from any official or even informal announcements.

 

I don't recall any service members requesting party ships. Of course, if you ask your average grunt, he'll call for a continuous party time on his assigned ship, no duties, with free beer & p***y, rather like--mongers here complaining about the prices of everything. Everybody likes that free stuff; meanwhile, we don't like giving tips for Thai service because they're already being paid.

 

Experts here have always known how to solve that imagined lack of wealthy Golden Egg Layers in Thailand problem.

Yup. But not a lot, actually. Never heard any requests from the MPs for backup. Just doing their jobs; they got it.

 

I'm wondering whether the current relaxation of restrictions isn't about difficulty in recruitment these days.

I'm not sure how it works if they don't have rooms ashore as the bars don't normally have any, but it's all happened before, so there must be a way.

It was a problem even under Trump when gays were expelled. However, "woke" refers to rejection of understanding and acknowledgment of black history and issues generally. The military can hardly be accused of that.

What - since 2006 they are not allowed to use prostitutes anymore??? Now I understand why they are allowed to come to Pattaya. Here are no prostitutes ????????????. Only business partners...

Yawn. Deflecting doesn't help your case. Next.

No, the size of the military was shrinking under Obama and started picking up under Trump. Trump inspired some patriotism and confidence. The current leadership? Laughable.

 

Now the shortage is the worst in 50 years. Nor did Trump "expel" gays.

No, actually it refers to leftwing political ideology that targets all that imagined "systemic injustice," of which there are many politically convenient manifestations. 

 

 

"How dare you call my girlfriend a prostitute?!  She's a farm girl from East Ham!"

What was that, honey?  "Oh, I mean Issan."

Quite a few short time rooms around.... and even a few in-house facilities in bars. The girls know them all....

6,000 of them?

OK, no doubt some won't- US has many females in military and married guys, so lets say 2,000 needed. I guess there will be queues for the ones there are available.

The likes of The Love-In are dotted around town and then 2 or 3 short time places on Walking St, and as said quite a few bars do actually have a room or two. I doubt they all need to do it at exactly the same time!

Hope the quartermasters are out working their "deals." I haven't seen Fritos or cornbread mix in Tops or Foodland since the last navy ship dropped anchor pre-covid.
