i know the topic has been done before but usually very useful so here is my latest:

there are many white vans on suk rd with large orange writing in thai (on the front) you can flag down for short or long distances
they are much faster and more comfortable than baht buses and songtaos and cost only a bit more

Just because you hear the word NO it doesn't necessarily mean it's true.

There is a cultural problem that manifests itself with the words, "Cannot". When you hear this from a sales assistant, bank clerk or administrator it is possible they don't know the answer or are not comfortable dealing with foreigners. Don't waste time arguing the point. Move on to the next person or establishment. With patience you can get most things done.

Give the ladyboys a try. They're loads of fun and much more sexy and versatile than your run of the mill ladygirl sex-worker. You know you want to and it may start a whole new lifestyle for you.

I'd rather have my nipples chewed off by a pack of soi dogs.

don't give money to people you do not like

your first instincts are usually correct

In matters of romance with many of the Thais remember their motto:

" Sex is one thing, love is another thing, but money is everything".

My tip is not to fight those differences to your own cultural backgrounds that you are surrounded by but embrace them and flow with it all.

Thais are dangerously confused by roundabouts.

Resist the temptation to throw it into 4 lo and slowly mow down every 3 wheel piece of crap motorbike / wagon that takes up the same amount of room as a car but moves slower than a 3 legged soi dog.

Don't bother. It's not as much fun as it sounds.

don't give money to people you do not like

Make that "don't give money to anyone" and you'll get my vote.

Keep as far away as possible from expats you meet in the bar.

They will only either try to borrow money or try to get some free drinks.

For that, they do not even need to speak. Facial expression, attire and manner is enough to achieve that

The ultimate is when they start to argue they have not received 1 baht change after having waited for hours

Yes, then you can play Russian Roulette without having a revolver. They are easy to spot since they pass on the left, no matter what the traffic conditions are

When you hear the sound of a bell ringing...run to that bar and grab a seat and pretend you've been sitting there the whole time. Failing this, look for a beer bar wi a deer in the headlights farang tourists with two or three hostesses around his neck and take a seat...it won't be long before he starts ringing the bell and the free drinks come forth.

If you spot a character mooching around the bars with his ears cocked and surrounded by garishly made up katoeys, it's probably OMG. Do not approach. He will ask you for a beer.

OP - do not say "<deleted>" anywhere near a tout, pimp or motaxi. Unless you have your escape route planned.

Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.

"A month" can mean anything from 3 months to 10 years when uttered by a bargirl telling you how long they have worked in a bar.

If you find yourself saying, "but she is different". Clutch your testicles, give them a very hard twist and wake up and smell the coffee.

95% of us are not handsome.

Granted I never made it to pataya the last time I was there, but this advice seems to work where ever I go, "hands in pocket, crank in pants, and stupid look on face, and watch it happen to someone else". YMMV but this has kept me out of endless amounts of distress, and equally entertained at the show we call life as it carries on. Another bit (also world common) is "If it sounds to good to be true, it is too good to be true."

The last time I was in BKK, I got a ride from a motorcycle taxi that was like a fair ground bumper car ride. I got off paid the suicidal nutbar, then he had the audacity to stick his hand out ask me for a tip (after almost getting me killed twice in less than a kilometre), I told him "Wise man say eat no yellow snow", and disappeared into a 7-11, he was still trying to figure it all out when I can back 10 minutes later.

Best fun I had the entire trip.

The Dark Side has about everything you need, no need to cross over Suk Road.
