January 5, 201511 yr Would like to know where to stay and how much it would cost it does matter if three star just like to know a safe place and also what place would be great to sit down and have a quiet drinks
January 6, 201511 yr Depends what you want, and how much you want to spend. Patong is the biggest place, craziest, most stuff happening. Rawai and Nai Harn are a bit quieter, but then again I left 2 1/2 years ago and they where developing quickly so might have changed a lot in that time. Kata was sort of in between them in that it was developed but not as much as Patong. If you want to relax I would say stay in Rawai or Nai Harn, hire a bike, go explore the island, see what you like and what you don't. If you are going for a couple of weeks only book a few nights then see which area you like and find a hotel there. There are plenty of places to stay, you won't miss out that is for sure. Enjoy
January 6, 201511 yr There are too many places around the island for what you want to really be able to give you direct answer. If you don't want to go barhopping to hundreds of bars and don't want to go for ocean swims all the time and don't care about extreme night life, then I would say, Rawai is perfect. Have bars, restaurants, Thai and farang food, beautiful seaview with some bars opposite the beach, crazy traffic after 5pm until aprox. 7.30pm, on the beach road, everyone visiting Phrom Thep cape are going back and only two roads out of there, one is the beach road. A lot of guest houses or hotels along the beach and inside, also up from Rawai to Chalong on Wiset Rd. there's a few hotels and guest houses. Difficult to name just one. Kata is also a nice village to stay, not as stressed out as Patong, easy to find hotels and guesthouses. middle of Karon I would avoid as it's more of family village, on the north end of Karon there are a couple of blocks with bars and restaurants doing late nights. Patongs crazy nightlife and noise comes mostly from Bangla road and Nanai Rd. I think Patong is the only one that has everything the others have, but it doesn't mean I like Patong better. The cost for hotels/guesthouses is impossible to say exactly, but you should be able to get a room between 700THB up to 3500 THB a night. 18 Euro to 89 Euro.
January 6, 201511 yr Kata look for a Guesthouse and rent a motorbike, transportation is Expensive, try to get International Drivers License, it helps at checkpoints wear a Helmet, Have Fun
January 6, 201511 yr Police will stop you everywhere and "fine" you 500B if no helmet or license - worst policeforce in Thailand. As a single male, stay in Patong and enjoy the girls for about 1,000 - 2,000 per night - dont buy ladydrinks at all

Let him be.
January 6, 201511 yr Kata look for a Guesthouse and rent a motorbike, transportation is Expensive, try to get International Drivers License, it helps at checkpoints wear a Helmet, Have Fun "Kata look for a Guesthouse and rent a motorbike" - he did mention, "sit down and have a quiet drinks." I hardly think renting a motorbike is a great idea in these circumstances.
January 6, 201511 yr "what place would be great to sit down and have a quiet drinks" Your hotel room Usually, that doesn't stay quiet for long, either.
January 6, 201511 yr Stay in Nai Harn avoid Patong like the plague. Phuket town might be nice for 2 days but it is far away from the beaches.
January 6, 201511 yr Stay in Nai Harn avoid Patong like the plague. Phuket town might be nice for 2 days but it is far away from the beaches. The OP started many threads, most of which have been locked, asking about "girls" and "nightclubs" and joiner fees" - for an obvious reasons. On that basis, I would think Patong has more of what he is seeking for his holiday.

Tell me more about how paying a lady to talk to you by buying her ladies' drinks makes you think you're picking up the girl based on your looks and personality.

She is sitting there drinking with you while you waffle on and she plays interested. It makes it feel less like your paying for a hooker. More like a date if you catch my drift.

The lady drinks make them relax. It's the whole point. Get her drunk and you become more handsome.

If they are coming back to the room they get loaded drunk.

It makes many guys feel less apprehensive about hiring the services of a sex worker.
January 6, 201511 yr @ Malleebull03 Have sent you a very long PM. Hope it answers most of your concerns, queries and options.
January 6, 201511 yr Not always the case. If you aren't taking them home then yes, Fanta it is. If they are coming back to the room they get loaded drunk. "If they are coming back to the room they get loaded drunk." - some of them get drunk on the farang's money, then go out with their Thai friends.
January 6, 201511 yr Not always the case. If you aren't taking them home then yes, Fanta it is. If they are coming back to the room they get loaded drunk. Why on earth would you stay in go go and continue to buy her overpriced lady drinks after you paid the bar fine? I would advise the OP to take her somewhere more fun for her, a night club maybe if he doesn't go straight to his room

January 6, 201511 yr Malleebull, mate ! My first trip to LOS, I was the very wrong side of 50, like much closer to 60. Hadn't left home shores in over 20 years, so not what you'd call a jet-setter. Arrived in Pattaya about 2am & being somewhat rooted, I decided to hit the sack, alone, for the first night, or what remained of it. Oh, I traveled solo. Next morning took a 3 or so hour walk to get my bearings. Found out what a soapie was by about midday. Somehow found my way on the dance stage at Tahitian Queen, being force fed tequila shots early evening. They really weren't forcing me too hard... with the shots, that is. By about 10pm I was madly, deeply in lust. By 10:15 I was back in my "quiet" hotel room, & definitely NOT alone. So, it sure ain't rocket surgery. Be polite. mind ya manners, smile & it'll all fall into place. If you're really looking for a quiet time.... I'm not too sure what advice to offer. Just the way I see it. Cheers..... Mal.
January 6, 201511 yr Yep, head to Patong and stay at any resort there that allows ladys to stay with you and you'll have a ball. Sit on the beach with a mint condition little las for a week or 2. Even rent a jet ski and take her for trip round the bay. Happy days!
