I'm over in 2 weeks. Cant wait. First went to Pattaya when I was 20. 15 years later I'm heading back. People complaining about prices etc. need to get over it. Its the same the world over. Thailand is still amazing value compared to our daily living costs in the west.

Highly advise staying in a hotel within five minute walk of either LK Metro or Tree Town. Options available are immense. Soi 6 and WS are easily accessible for variety

Love your Videos, Coming to Pattaya soon and the information you give is fantastic. Thank you !!!!!!

Thank you Daz. Appreciate the fun down.

One of your best Daz. Insightful and very useful info for all of us. Thank you.

Thanks for keeping us informed about pattaya heading there first time for 8 years. In March. Love your show mate keep up the great work

I was just in Pattaya in July and walking street looks quite a bit different since then luckily I'll be seeing it in person in less then a week now

“Happy leaf shop” 😂. Visited Pat in September for a week. First time. Loved it. Also these videos are gold worth, very informative.

Valuable information. You are doing a great work in helping us. Thank you.

Thank you for the up date , few weeks I am there ! Waiting 3 years ...Enjoy .

Good Show !! One of the best walking tours with lights and color I have seen. I am amazed at your stamina in the heat and humidity. A newbie would wilt just walking out of his A/C hotel room. Keep up the good work.

Once again great video and information thanks.

Will be in Pattaya first week of December! Your videos are a ton of help

Your vlogs are ways informative and very interesting, thank you.

I lived near Pattaya for a long time...working in the construction industry....but still find this type of info very interesting.

Very informative on the areas to live. Thanks, Daz!

Interesting and nice road trip, Daz... Thanks a lot

Thanks again Daz I have been a few times to Pattaya but that is good to know. Especially that last story.

Thank you for that chat....it's important info to know as your moving around

These stories are the reason when I go to a city, I look around before getting a hotel. Walk in and pay. Finally someone telling about this scam. Wait until you get here.

Your story is a very interesting one. I agree 100% with your experience regarding the girl's salaries. It's a tendency that I've been watching for the past let's say 25 years. In early years when salaries were very small, bar girls all around used to ask the customer to barfine them. That doesn't happen very often anymore unless you find a bar, club where salaries are still low.

Thank you very much for the update I was a young guy 10 years staying in central patio now I’m an old guy coming back with a child so I’m staying in jumped in and you show me a whole bunch of new avenues thank you

Good video as always Daz.I have talked with a few guys who play with my golf society and they have noticed the drink queens etc.

Grat see you back daz

Super valuable info once again!

Nice video mate ! I always like your stories !!! (here: the gorgeous real estate agent) 😂🤣😅

So true about the gents clubs. Bongkot 8 is still great fun and can find the odd looker

I come to Pattaya on 26 October, thank you for yours video and advise😊

Thanks for another informative video. I just left Pattaya and found all of your informative videos to be 💯 Bar Owners speak very highly of you.

nov 1st is my birthday! i have my trip booked for early december. im staying in thailand for one whole month. I HAVE NEVER BEEN! It will be my first time. I keep watchign all your videos. im very excited and ty for doing what you do. Im hoping to have A LOT of fun

i love these stories Daz. Thats Thailand, and this is why we love this this place 55555

Thanks bro for the useful information s

Very informative Thanks.

I'm there next Saturday Daz, if I hear your voice around I'll get you a beer ! cheers buddy 🍻

Thanks again for sharing your experience, information and mostly the "background stories". That makes it really special and unique in a way for me. Always nice to listen to your stories and get a feeling for the essentials. As for the girl's attitude it is fo course 100% fine for them. but i wonder if the Bar Owners really want to continue that kind of business model. Wish you alle the best and stay safe and healthy.

Love your work!

I always stay on or around LK Metro/Diana/honey right in the middle of every thing.

Daz, thanks for all your advice. I will be on business in Bangkok and plan to be in Pattaya from December 7 to December 11. As you suggested I will be staying ash the Acera Lodge. Thanks again for your advice and help. Ernie

Your right about tired of waiting! It's gona be expensive as hell but it's time to get back!

Coming to Pattaya for first time next month and booked first two nights at P72 then move to ceaser hotel 2 night and then Honey Hotel for two nights. Used Agoda with free cancellation option.

I'm here just now and I am loving it..brilliant hotel right in heart of city...not interested in going near walking street...average age of man is well over 50.so who really wants to be out till after 3am..walking street is for Indians now..gents clubs the odd agogo and music bars..still same prices as 2020..LK metro..pothole and baukoa and treetown are the places to be..forget soi 7 and 8 they are a dead loss...bonkot still good..boomerang as you said on older vlog is a bit pricey..Great video

Hei Daz. By your advice from before. Staying at d xpress apartment. Gotta admit. It's quite good with the facilities, friendly staff, location. Thanks

leave for Thailand 3 weeks! can't wait!

dang I started watching some pre covid vids, but seeing this one now is really helpful (new to the channel) but in a way it does help out in sussing out the interested girls cuz essentially you go to these places to feel wanted and what have you

Yes i stuffed up every trip thai ppl fantastic a couple a life saver years ago will b over shortly again diff times diff person but love your vids and stories and love bakow

I love the stories.

Was there in May, Soi 7, Blackwoods Hotel, excellent stay, breakfast, guest friendly, solid location, new hotel....also stayed further down in Jomtien, D Varee hotel...but quite far...then for those interested in a guest house..recommend The Nest on Soi Diana, or Areca Lodge Hotel...also on Soi Diana. Close to Everything!!!

Awesome

You are the best for information on the prices of girls & drinks & best Locations. Thank You.

As soon as you said 30k I knew where that was going and the obvious affect it would have on staff 'morale' when it came to looking after customers ( likely in all ways, not just the ST/ LT side of things). I imagine that some of these new clubs have felt they had to do this to get the girls to come work there as there has been a shortage compared to pre-coof times but it's a road to nowhere. The club isn't gonna get the boots through the door & when they do then those people will be short lived. Yes they'll likely make some bank off the newbies but word get's around. All that needs to happen is one of those sets of lads needs to be sat in a bar and they get chatting with others. Full of stories of the new friend they made & what they thought were great prices just for the other set of blokes to tell them they paid through the nose. Right there you've not only lost any repeat business but sure as hell those boys are gonna tell everyone they meet to avoid XYZ club & they won't stop telling everyone they meet till they go home ensuring 20, 30, 50, 100 guys never walk through the door. Now those girls might like being able to sit on their asses & play on their phones but that doesn't pay the bills for the venue which is already forking out +100k in salary to the girls a week that other places don't have as an overhead.

Excellent. Your stories are always so great.

coming for the first time in nov 24-dec 10. bkk, pattaya, phuket. and chiang mai/rai

Used to be Marine Bar area. Happy memories!!!

First-class overview of the Pattaya area. The area where you live, Daz, is the one I'd favour if I lived there. The two gents' club you described paying a 30,000 salary won't survive. Where is the money coming from? No one will go in.

Damn, what a horror story! Thanks for warning the newbies.

G’day, Hello Trevor, I am very pleased watching this post, I was interested when you walked into the top end of Walking street, where is the tourist police stand?, I am very surprised at how good the street, soi diamond and other soi’s around are looking, I know it’s day time and a lot of bars, gogo’s are closed or gone, I am so pleased even so I did not venture down to the walking street area that much, I am glad to see life is starting to pickup again, OK it’s not what it was in it’s heyday, but it’s looking good, again you've done a wonderful coverage. Cheers, Michael

Hi could you do a video clip on sea view with balcony hotels only. It would be great to get an idea of price, room furnishings and sea view. Thanks

Be in Thailand Nov 7 for the first time. Can't wait!!!

I have nothing to add Daz. I'm just leaving a comment for the algo with a thumbs up.

Got really drunk in that Swiss Bar up from the windmill then went and had a look your right about that place.

Great insight Daz, more to your look at Gents Club and their 30,000thb monthly salaries, that is the standard salary for a individual with 4 year uni degree working a professional government position after 10-15 years experience. The Top Dog running the whole hospital is only on 50k base. So that, for me, puts in perspective the reluctance for the Bargirl to put in the effort. Cheers😅

Thanks for the Information I'm coming for first time in march for two weeks I'll be staying in Romeo palace soi 18 I think

I will have to get back walking around town when I get to Pattaya to get used to it again since I have not been back since my navy 7th fleet days 1983-84

Will come to patty. Will do day trip from bkk. Get a car from bkk look around wong amat..and pratumnak for holiday trips from SG every 6 mth with family. Hope to meet you. Cheers Daz. All the best. Jan. Feb. Trip.

Could you do a hotel visit of Galaxy Suites? And would love to see both the normal room and the room that has the jacuzzi if possible :)

Another thing you didn’t mention I prefer to stay a street or two away from bar areas. I’ve stayed above bars and either you hear that loud base until 3 am or if you stay above a sports bar the Brits and Aussies will be yelling at 8 am watching their soccer.

Will be there Feb 2023 ... for the 1st time!

Hello 👋🏾 Thank you for sharing this invaluable information 🙏🏾 I have a question for you. What hotel would you recommend in the Central area for someone seeking discretion and quietest surrounding. I understand it's the busiest area, but I'm searching for the quietest / private possible spot near the action! Thank you ✌🏾

Never been. Late January I'll come look @ apartments in Hua Hin, Jomtien & Phuket. I registered on a few real estate sites

Been here three weeks now. My observations are: Walking Street Pin-Up is best but get there early because it's very popular with Koreans. Damned expensive but the girls are mostly mint. Outside of a few others Walking Street is a waste of time, (the Indians stink), only been there twice, try Soi 6 better beer prices but I prefer LK metro overall. Good value, girls not too pushy, Kink & Showgirls my personal favorites, at Kink you continue in the upstairs lounge after 2am for a giggle. Soi Boomerang BJ bars worth a visit, as are Soi Bonkot as per the previous video. Also worth a crawl along those crappy bars on Baukeuw, where you will find a little gem in every one. General tip: one drink and move on if there's nothing interesting. Be proactive. Good fishing.

More stories please Daz 😅

Behind the DJ at Frog I believe is a restaurant, don't know if it is open yet, so you will be able to sit near water. Electric Blue and Beaver, not sure if there was a 3rd place there. Wonder if the new place will be only one or more? I always stay in Jomtien, easy going Nightlife and not hard to get into Pattaya proper.

Hello Daz....great video again...keep up the good work....i,m Dutch...coming to Pattaya november 3....woud like to meet you one day for a drink and a chat...coming to Thailand since 1998....last time in 2018....greetings Burt

Thanks for the video update on Pattaya I’ve been 10 times last time November 2018 just b4 covid,I’m Planning on going back December 2023 for Christmas and new year but now I only spend a few days in Pattaya and move on I always book through 1 of the online hotel Partners always best good to hear the baht bus is still 10 thb great for getting you around Pattaya Soi bukhao is a favourite place for me lots of good hotels there 👍🇹🇭

Love the jon te rn complexe years ago the 40 baht bar

Very informative. Thank you. I am going to add that many of us come to Pattaya to golf (there are 25 golf courses) and to sail (the Ocean Marina is the largest marina in Asia) so staying on the southern Dark Side / Jomtien / South Pratumnak is a good choice. As well, there are some bars (such as Fraser's) where a newby can get a lot of sage advice. And, it is not very far from the entertainment district. One last point: I am not particularly adventuresome so I tend to frequent a few "safe" bars. For example, "Windmill" is certainly hands on but few (virtually none) of the girls speak English and the security personnel can get very assertive!!! On the other hand, in this video, you went by Le Pub on Soi Diamond where most of the girls can speak at least a little English (some a lot) and it is extremely relaxed for the most part.

The warning Klaxon immediately sounds when anyone attempts to meet outside the rental office. That kind of scam has been used with rental properties in California posted on Craig's List as well. Very common scam I imagine all over the world.

I predict that at some point in the future, the Pattaya Chamber of Commerce/Business Consortium, will be creating a seat for “Daz” at the head of the table.

Go past the dj at frog bar complex nice restaurant and still able to see the sea 🌊

GREAT VIDEOS!!!!! SO MUCH EXCELLENT INFO!!! 28:47 - WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE ROAD THAT YOU MENTION HERE?

Coming Feb! Buy you a coffee or a beer!

I’m over 11 Nov just over two weeks Been loads so know the koo have to adjust a bit as it’s been a while

❤Daz sire I became disciple of your videos

Sir Daz, thanks so much for your insight and all your vids certainly trip the light fantastic......Liz Truss here.....would you be so good as to direct me to a proper full time Phratamnak residence......3000 quid budget for a Seaview, a motorbike, a fridge full of Leo's, and all the Thai "food" I can handle. Pip pip!

Interesting areas in the first 15 minutes. Is this an older area or formerly an industrial area? Some of the buildings almost look like they might have been formerly warehouse/industrial type buildings.

Lengend daz

To Get Through the Airport you must State on the Immigration Card where you are Staying, I always Put The Amari Hotel where i first Stayed in 2001 then i would get the Taxi to the area i wish to visit then take a Side Street away from the main Area and find a Budget or Guest House and book in for 2 Days. If all was good i would Work out a Deal for the rest of the Stay if not you have more time to find Somewhere Else

Daz very very good info thanks million. I plan on getting tourist maps. An road map of Thailand because I want to visit malee in her village in isan chonoburi where she lives . Since think she gonna be hm probably For next 4 months or not be back to Pattaya long time . She has not seen her mom in person in 3 years

I wish you would put up a map of the area for easy to understand . Thanks

Hi, Can you do a video of LK Mansion hotel please. I’m not sure people know about this hotel and it’s really good.

I don't know if you have covered this before or not. If you could do a video on the quality of internet and the options you have. I know there is a lot of us over 40 that work remotely and need good internet to do our jobs, and want to come. But are held back but not being able to find reliable information on internet and the quality.

Hi great video thks can you recommend a hotel in Pratamnak pls

Really enjoying your videos… very informative 👍 I’m over in January, am I right in saying, it’s a bit cooler then? Thanks!

At Korando's the girls didn't even reply when i said hello.

iv stayed on soi lengkee most of the time stayed in hole in 1 a few times the devenonshire and the place next door when it was called place to bee

I'm staying kokotel Pattaya south beach, hopefully that's a good area

Great video Daz. Are there baht buses that automatically turn south to Jomtien from Pattaya/2nd Road? Seems easy to get from Jomtien to Central Pattaya for 10baht but need 2 rides back to Jomtien?

Good Video Daz, I always try to stay in Soi yi sip et , best prices, close to the action, future Video idea > How about touristy things to do aside from filling holes, other things to see like Mini Siam,Nong nuch gardens, Santuary of Truth etc.

to be honest i noticed a change in attitude towards me when i hit 40 , im in good shape for my age not fat smart looking but unfortunately grey hair or silver in my case , now at 55 is a huge red flag , but at 40 or so there was a very noticeable around pat pong and pattaya take it easy see you on the next one ,

Be there in 2 weeks. I hope I run into you. You sure know pattaya.
