January 6, 201511 yr There are plenty of "quiet" areas to stay in Patong and it doesn't have to be as mental as everyone seems to suggest it is. There are hundreds of guest houses to choose from for any budget. I'd suggest you stay in a guesthouse on Nanai Rd which is the main road at the back of Patong running parallel to the mountain. Lots of bars on Nanai if you want a "quiet" drink or if you want to head into Bangla u can get a motorbike taxi or could even walk it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
January 6, 201511 yr Just come and go for it ..the girls will love you ..you'll think you've died and gone to heaven ..All you need to remember is they all 'experts' and you are just a rookie ...never mind we've all been there ..enjoy
January 6, 201511 yr An illusion? most guys have a hand up the inside of her thigh before the 1 st sip Its all an illusion mate. They don't really want to have sex with random men for money, it's out of necessity. The lady drinks make them relax. It's the whole point. Get her drunk and you become more handsome. Dude I thought you knew they dont contain alcohol? Hmm, don't thing Hans has got out much in Thailand.
January 6, 201511 yr I stay at the Seven Seas in Patong. A three star 50 m from the beach 1 km north of Bangala road. Clean comfortable, quiet and cheap, friendly staff. For a single guy on vacation in Phuket I think it is an ideal hotel for someone on a budget. Can be found on Agoda, monthly rates available.
January 6, 201511 yr I really enjoyed this hotel. There was some construction starting across the steet so I dont know about noise levels currently. This is right next to all of the night life. Across the street is a quiet French bar with a manager named Lek who's voice I can only describe as snowwhite doing a porno .... There are cheaper hotels and quieter hotels, but I found this one to be my favorite. 1 minute walking from Bangla, its also where all of the girls park their motorbikes. Sitting at the bar at 10pm or 4am when they make their way to/from work can be great eye candy. http://www.hotels.com/hotel/details.html?tab=description&destinationId=1806849&destination=Patong%2C+Thailand&hotelId=448897&arrivalDate=07-03-15&departureDate=07-10-15&rooms[0].numberOfAdults=2&roomno=1&validate=false&previousDateful=false&reviewOrder=date_newest_first&hotelid=448897&rffrid=eml.hcom.US.440.00.2015.01.06.src00.00.00.0000.0000.00.0000.kwrd%3DHTL.TR.CAN.eml.1806849.448897.canhotel01 Another good hotel if you want to meet expats in Patong is (and you will eventually want to meet expats so you can speak English with someone fluent in it). http://www.hotels.com/hotel/details.htmlchildren%5B0%5D=0&previousDateful=false&reviewOrder=date_newest_first&dd=07/10/15&so=DISTANCE_FROM_LANDMARK&rl=GEO_LOCATION:Patong,+Kathu+District,+Phuket,+Thailand%7C7.896914958953857%7C98.30200958251953:GEOCODE:UNKNOWN&roomno=1&pa=1&rooms%5B0%5D.numberOfAdults=2&tab=description&dn=Patong,+Kathu+District,+Phuket,+Thailand&hotelId=436229&cd=07/03/15 Its far enough from the action thats its quiet (for patong) and you have message palor right across the street, 7/11 ectera... Its about 15 minutes walking distance to Bangla (where the girls are). I Know the staff is completely different now, but when i stayed there the staff went above and beyond for everything I desired. My biggest complaint about the place is the bed was hard and there was no elevator. Food is so/so, but I'm not a big fan of English style cooking...To the left and right are bars owned by expats, both are very nice guys who are very helpful. This was one of my favorite hangouts during the day, I girls were beyond sweet and fun. The night staff not so much fun, but very attractive. Decent mix of music... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kangaroo-Bar-Soi-Bangla-Patong-Phuket/46087034860 If this is your first trip to Patong... 1. Go to http://www.jungceylon.com/index_en.aspx and get some DET bug spray, use it every day especially below the knees. Its also a good place to stock up on everyday items (look for the grocery store). 2. Bring footwear that dries quickly. 3. Bring Underwear / Shirts that dry quickly (wicking). 4. Buy an umbrella your first day there before it rains, it will rain... 5. The fresh food market at night is great place to grab a bite. I will pretty much eat anything so I dont know if all of the food there is for everyone. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ban+San+Fresh+Market/@7.891166,98.301652,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xecb83eaace4d02a5?sa=X&ei=RVOsVIyfCYjaoASoxoGwDw&ved=0CHoQ_BIwCw 6. Its HOT, I mean HOT and humid. The girls....the working girls, I dont mean thai woman in general. 1. They're doing their job when they're nice to you. 2. they're doing their job when they're helpful. 3. They doing their job when they come on to you. 4. Its their job to get very dollar of you they can. 5. They will tell any lie they think you will fall for to get money out of you. 6. its their job to make you happy and empty your wallet. 7. Dont fall in love, they are working girls. 8. Dont fall for any sob stories about sick family or starving family... Its their job to get every penny out of you... 9. She's not your girlfriend, she many Farangs Girlfriend... That doesnt mean they are bad people, you are their job. Its their job to empty your wallet and fill theirs. Some are very nice girls who couldnt find any other work. If you plan on bringing a girl to your room put EVERYTHING in the hotel safe, EVERYTHING. Any decent hotel you stay at will make the girls check in, this is for your safety. I cant say for sure but Its possible my drink was drugged by a girl while I was there, watch your drinks... Read this book before you go. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0761454985/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I got sick 3 times while eating in Patong, each time was after eating a restaurant. I never got sick eating off of the food carts. If you go out to the bars during the day watch the girls who work around you. When they all run out to buy lunch from a cart go with them. I had some great inexpensive food that way. Judging from your picture you're built like me, not exactly skinny ... You'll have a hard time finding decent clothes that fit, bring everything you need with you. Insist on a metered taxi at the airport. Bring directions in English and in Thai on how to get to your hotel from the airport. Bring a unlocked phone and buy a thai SIM with DATA at the airport. Being able to use online mapping and GPS/ searching is invaluable especially if you get lost.
January 6, 201511 yr Not the prettiest girls, but they make up for it by being super sweet and fun... Kangaroo bar day staff. Can you guess which one is the lady boy?
January 6, 201511 yr Couple of more things, stay away from the really nice hotels if you plan on bringing a girl back to your room. They wont refuse you but you might get some dirty looks from the staff. If you are single and going to Patong you will eventually bring a girl back to your room, its inevitable. Buy condoms and size them before you need them, medium for a thai is not medium for a Pharang... to large or to small can ruin your night... If you care about being ripped off sign for all tours yourself. Never ever get into an unmetered taxi without first negotiating the price. My last trip I was in Pattaya, on my last day I found a taxi that would drive me anywhere I wanted to go in a big clean air conditioned van for 8 hours for 1000bht. It pays to ask around If you get tired of drinking and whoring around go See "Big Buddha" and the nearby Buddhist temple (please be respectful, these are not tourist destinations these are religious sites).
January 6, 201511 yr If you plan on getting more than 20ft out of the touristy area's and have a smart phone get a translator app. Requires internet connection... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greenleaf.android.translator.enes.b&hl=en
January 6, 201511 yr Phuket Nice bar/hotel across the street from my Favorite hotel the Orchid... Phuket nice had very low priced rooms but I didnt stay there. If you see Lek tell her Peter from America sent you and that I said hi! Her Fiance owns the bar... Fang on the left and Lek on the right...
January 7, 201511 yr Hmm, don't thing Hans has got out much in Thailand. I never was into the lady drinks personally. I just cut to the chase and bar fine the cutest one and get out of there. I don't need the phoney romance.
January 7, 201511 yr Not the prettiest girls, but they make up for it by being super sweet and fun... Kangaroo bar day staff. Can you guess which one is the lady boy? "Can you guess which one is the lady boy?" - it's a trick question. They all are.
January 7, 201511 yr Stanleys with some expats have beers and lunch with me... I would occassionally call into Stanley's and say hello to Keith, the owner. Last I heard, he was in Issarn. I know Runi (probably not spelt correctly) He is/was a TPV - but I never see him on duty. There's some friendly bars along Soi Baanzan, but I wouldn't suggest the OP have a night out in this part of Patong.

Once you quote my post there is no need to retype it as you've already quoted it. Make for hard reading.
January 7, 201511 yr I suspect you've all be taken for a ride by malleebul3, as he's been conspicuous by his absence since his opening post. (Just a thought) Please carry on though if you feel the need.

He liked to come to the hotel for lunch, sometimes with his daughter. He's got some interesting stories about the tsunami. I never met the owner
January 7, 201511 yr "Can you guess which one is the lady boy?" - it's a trick question. They all are. Only one is (to the best of my knowledge)...
January 7, 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 OP dont listen to this guy hes not in the know because everyone knows bkk cops are worst policeforce in thailand . A man could be broke and bummy in patong and find a girl just a bit of game and a strong liver are the 2 main keys to patong area oh and a few hundred baht spending money for your own drinks wont go astray.
January 7, 201511 yr Its all an illusion mate. They don't really want to have sex with random men for money, it's out of necessity. The lady drinks make them relax. It's the whole point.

It's obvious you haven't been here for sometime. The Phuket police are the worst in Thailand for extorting money from foreigners, and I am not talking about traffic offences. "oh and a few hundred baht spending money for your own drinks wont go astray." - oh, and nowdays, try a few thousand baht, not a few hundred. Phuket is the most expensive holiday destination in South East Asia, Singapore aside.

January 8, 201511 yr "They dont wont to have sex with random men for money but they do want to have sex with some new friends for free" - and how does that pay the bills, exactly???? Well ive sat in a gogo for 7 hours sipping 50 baht beers till 3 am befriended a staff member we had a good laugh and by the end she was coming home with me free of charge because she was bored and lonely or just liked me. Oh and patong beach is possible to drink for a few hundred baht just goto the whiskey venders along bangla at 3 am and drink shots of whisky with green mango for 10 baht a shot and chat with the girls
January 8, 201511 yr "Can you guess which one is the lady boy?" - it's a trick question. They all are. Only one is (to the best of my knowledge)... 2nd from the left
