Pattaya by Day - Beach Road and trying to find Sportsman - August 2016

$20-40 Pattaya hotels [ Ссылка ]


This video includes a baht bus ride from Soi 6 to Hooters, with some popular restaurants, bars and hotels on Beach Road pointed out.

After, I completely forgot what street the 'Sportsman Pub' was located. I blindly walked around in the sweltering mid afternoon heat going up Soi 13/1, 13/2 and finally Soi 13 in search of the pub for a full English Breakfast.

After that, I took a mototaxi ride to Soi Buakhao where I got a cheap haircut for 80 baht.

Additional notes:

NB: Since I made this video and completed a guide to Pattaya's best hotels $50+ I've found out that the Hilton is in fact 'guest friendly.' I have called them direct to confirm this.

There is sometimes confusion about 'guest friendly' hotels, as if the room already has 2 people checked in then a joiner fee nearly always applies wherever you are staying. This makes sense as if there weren't rules like this in place you could have an orgy with 10 noisy ladyboys without the hotel benefiting.


Soi 6 to Hooters baht bus ride.

The LK Empress breakfast buffet is currently 220 baht (August 2016) which represents great value and is a good place to pig out on the vast array of food offered.

Tahitian Queen gogo bar is highly recommended and I visited just the other night after this video was edited. They play rock music at a reasonable decibel level, which makes a change from the usual techno.

Bottled beers were around 135 baht, and the thing I liked most was the girls rotate after every single song. So if you get a good view of the stage it's a perverts paradise ;)

The girls were looking ok and weren't too pushy, and they were in very good spirits joking around a lot which makes a change from the sullen, dead eyed faces that you see in some gogos. There was no nudity on show but the girls wear sexy skimpy bikinis / bra and pants.

McDonald's food prices
I don't know what is going on but they've hiked up prices across the board in Thailand. It seems that it's almost on par with Western McDonald's prices, with less quality.

Soi 13/2 (Post Office) gogo bars
These bars have long relied on afternoon trade, but the police have restricted their opening times to 6pm which doesn't bode well for the future (especially in the low season).

Post Office
This is open every single day, and you can send letters and parcels with or without insurance abroad.

Sportsman
I was recommended this place by a friend, they had a carvery on when I visited. My food was fine, and I will include more info on this in an upcoming video...

Mototaxi ride to Soi Buakhao for a haircut
This ride cost 40 baht, and it is always a bit sketchy when your driver turns and drives against the flow of traffic.

80 baht haircut
I had an 80 baht haircut, they are never really good or really bad but for the money you can't complain. Always be quick to say no when they try to trim your eyebrows.

Having a wet shave at these places is a mixed bag depending on who you get. I've had a smooth as silk shaves here, and also had some of the worst dry skin scraping shaves of my life - needless to say I don't recommend getting a wet shave at these cheap 80 baht places unless you have skin like leather already! :)
