Smile Resort, Thung Song

The Smile Resort, Thung Song is a very simple and basic resort, one like there are popping up all over Thailand. For around 1,000.-THB per night, or in this case even less, you get a basic room with all you really need, air condition, fridge, wifi and a bathroom but no breakfast

.

You can park your car under the roof,immediately next to the entrance door of you room and basically, without your own means of transportation, you're pretty much stock in the resort, since there's not much to in the immediate vicinity.

We stayed here because there was a running event nearby that I visited and it just was perfect for my purpose.

The way this resort was set up had me immediately think of a short time hotel (the car parking, the car hidden out of view), but it didn't seem to be used as such, although across the road there were a couple of very straightforward short time establishments. This place seems to be pleasant though and if you ever get find yourselves in the provincial area of Thung Song in the province of Nakhon Si Thammarat, this is a good budget option.

Rasputin Massage in Pattaya Review

Pattaya's Rasputin Massage - On Second Road between Soi 5 and Soi 6

So I already made it quite clear. I'm not a huge fan of Pattaya's soapy massage parlor scene. That's one of the main reasons why I never made a top 5 list like I did for Bangkok.

That's not to say all body to body massage establishments in Pattaya suck. I'll still list and map them for everyone to find. Because what I don't personally like could be something you enjoy. And also massage girls come and go and get better.

But Rasputin Massage in Pattaya, boy oh boy - I know for a fact everyone will enjoy. Although I suck at math I don't need to be Einstein to know that the more ladies a soapy has the more chances there will be better looking girls or at least ladies that you particularly find attractive.

Rasputin is located on Second Road between Soi 5 and Soi 6. They open from 12pm until 1am. Although last call is usually around 11:30am to midnight. It's super easy to find and the best way to get down there is by taking a Baht bus.

If you're staying at a hotel between Walking Street down to Soi LK Metro through Soi 11 and 12, it only cost 10THB to get to Rasputin's massage location (maps coming soon). With no traffic you can get there in about 5 minutes. But the easiest marker for finding Rasputin is the McDonald fast food restaurant.

Outside of Rasputin Massage - This pic was taken around 11am so it was still closed.

Continue walking down the driveway and you'll come across some restaurants and some sort of cabaret theatre about 300 meters and you hit Rasputin.

Every time I come over to Pattaya this is the place I always come to for a good old fashioned body to body soapy massage. I typically go there around 6pm because that's the time that the models show up. Around 8pm you can expect to see around 100 girls, about 10 or 15 of them are in the model category. That's a lot of ladies.

Call me an elitist snob but I prefer the model girls. They've got the looks I like a lot. Slim, long hair, long legs and fair skin. Models are quite tall too.

There are three price points for Rasputin model girls:

1. 3800
2. 4500
3. 6000

Rasputin's normal soapy girls' prices start at:

1. 2000
2. 2500
3. 3000

I don't stick to models exclusively because some of their normal girls are fairly attractive too. You get hour and half and only 1 shot with the ladies.

Rasputin has nice big rooms

Rasputin's viewing area is quite nice. There are no actual fishbowl sections separating customers from the girls. Its all basically open and all the ladies are seated on couches along the walls. Model section girls are seated near the front where customers come in. Papasans speak English and are quite helpful and as far as I know do not charge foreigners extra.

Nice big tub for plenty of soapy fun joy joy...

Rooms are huge, the biggest I've ever seen at a soapy with big beds. But for some reason looks like most of the rooms had some major water damage. Okay, yeah I know, you don't come here for the rooms. But Rasputin has porn playing on TV!

Even though Pattaya does have quite a few soapies that I pretty much avoid I'll probably still go just to take a look see. Because I know management changes. New ladies arrive and so on. I wish I could make a top 5 soapy list for Pattaya. However, if you don't want to waste time looking for pretty massage girls Rasputin is always the safe bet.

And if I had to make a top 5 soapy massage list for Pattaya, Rasputin would be #1.

There are also many nice hotels in walking distance to Rasputin Massage. And many of them are not so expensive, about 1500THB - 2200THB per night:

Pattaya Discovery Chic Tower
Season Five Hotel Pattaya

Whoring Around in Pattaya

Doing Research And Having Sex in Pattaya...

Walking Street Go Go Bar Map - Updated May 2015

It's a tough job. But someones got to do it and it might as well be me. For the past few months I've been going back and forth between Bangkok and Pattaya to do research and update my Pattaya Red Eye website.

I've been told it was just fine the way it was before and should've left it alone. But I wanted to switch my website to a Wordpress platform same as I did for Bangkok Red Eye. I reside in Bangkok which is why BRE site was transitioned faster.

Anyways, I also wanted to update my maps of go go bars in Pattaya which I've done. Thing about Pattaya is everything is so spread out. There are pockets of go go bars here and over there.

And oily massage parlors in Pattaya are not condensed like it is in Bangkok. Still easy to find a good old happy ending massage in Pattaya but a real pain to mark all of them on my maps.

If you're into ladyboys, Pattaya will be heaven for you. I've also noticed there are many more massage parlors with ladyboys in Pattaya than there is in Bangkok. Though if you want to get a massage and bang one head over to Pattaya Soi 6 ( maps coming soon). Heaps of ladyboys in Pattaya can't really stress that enough.

Pattaya's soapies are sort of condensed together and as I'm writing this post I'm uploading a video I made walking from one soapy to another. Bangkok's soapies when it comes to quality of girls are way better. However, there is one awesome soapy in Pattaya with hot model girls. But be prepared to pay for it will cost a pretty penny. I'll be writing a post about this soapy soon.

I noticed from my stats that videos like the one I did on Kuala Lumpur's sauna and spa are extremely helpful. So I made some videos of walking around Pattaya's soapy area. I gather newbies find it helpful it's the closest thing to hand holding.

I won't go as far as videoing inside such places. For one, the ladies don't want to be on video. Second, I'm pretty damn sure customers don't want to be on video either. Last, it's a 2000THB fine if they catch you which isn't a painful penalty. But management will probably give you a beat down for good measure which I'm sure will be painful.

Pattaya Red Eye should be up 100% by beginning of June. But I will gradually add content to the website soon. It was fun going around Pattaya's red light districts even though I enjoy Bangkok more.

Recently at a bar in Bangkok I saw a group of guys with iPads looking through my Bangkok Red Eye website. I was close enough to hear that they enjoyed my website. But I also overheard they like it a lot because it's not filled with advertisement. Even though I do get a lot of requests for banner ad placement on my website I keep it to a minimum of only a few banner ads. Even on this blog you'll notice there are zero advertisements for sex services.

Though I earn money through hotel referrals but that's because it's useful for the readers. Besides this blog is really meant to be - about hotels near the red light districts.

As an avid web surfer myself I don't enjoy websites full of ads too. It's quite distracting, but that's just me. Though I'm sure for others it is quite helpful. And I promise my readers this blog will never be crammed full of ads. Not unless some one throws me so much money I can't refuse.

Pattaya's P.P. Body Massage Review

P.P. Massage on Soi Chalarmprakiat 2 - It's not far from Soi LK Metro

One of my most popular posts on this blog is about which are the best soapy massage parlors in Bangkok. I've been receiving a lot of emails on why I don't make a top list of body to body massage shops in Pattaya.

There's a good reason for why I haven't come up with one yet. But to start off here's a review of my recent visit to P.P. Body Massage.

Entrance to Chalarmprakiat 2 on Soi Buakow - Turn right...

P.P. Body Massage is not far at all from Soi LK Metro - a small popular slice of central Pattaya with decent go go bars. You can find P.P. by walking along Soi Buakow, towards Soi Honey. And when you see Siam Sawasdee Hotel you make a right where you'll see their sign overhead.

This soi is called Chalarmprakiat 2. Don't worry, this place is super easy to find and I promise maps are coming soon. To give you a perspective on distance, walking from Soi LK Metro to P.P. Massage takes about 6 minutes. You can check out their website for directions though. Or take a look at the video I made below to giving you an idea how near Soi LK Metro is to this massage parlor.

I went there around 7pm which is the time most ladies show up. P.P. Massage opens from 12pm to midnight daily. And they are busy. From what the ladies and papasans tell me - they have a lot of customers coming in by busloads from India and China.

Keep walking down about 200 meters and you'll find P.P. Massage

So what's my impression of this soapy joint. Well, when I stepped inside, sat down and took a look at the fishbowl I thought I was in a weight watchers convention. I've never seen so many fatties stuffed in a fishbowl. And believe me, I've been to many. I have no doubt this joint is busy as the ladies must be making some serious cash for food.

There are girls with red numbered badges with prices ranging from 1800THB to 2000THB (have no clue how the papasans tell the difference) and girls wearing blue badges costing 2500THB. There are no sideline girls or models at P.P. Massage. You get hour and half and only 1 shot. For extra shot you pay 1500THB.

Body to body massage service in Pattaya is not dead...

I was lucky that P.P. had a handful of skinny girls with decent looks. I picked the best one out of the batch, a girl with a red numbered badge. She wasn't super hot but from 1(ugly) to 10 (hot) I rate her at a 6.

If you've been following this blog you'll hear me gripe that soapies these days, particularly in Bangkok do not involve inflatable mats. Well in P.P. a soapy body slide on a rubber mat is normal service. That's a plus. It was fun and my girl did a decent job on the mat. After a quick wash down it was off to bed and I'll spare you the rest of the details.

So here's the rundown. If you enjoy fat voluptuous Thai women then you'll have a great buffet experience at P.P. Body. Rooms are clean and the place looks renovated. I took a good look at the other rooms while I pretended I had to go to the bathroom.

To be fair, I'm not there on a frequent basis. So maybe they do have better looking girls. But since this place is easy to find and if you're staying in the central Pattaya location it wouldn't hurt to drop by.

I'll also be checking out a few other well know soapy massage parlors in Pattaya called Rasputin and Sabai Room Body Massage so check back soon.

Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort And Spa, Karon beach, Phuket

The Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort And Spa, Karon beach, Phuket is one of the bigger hotels on Phuket, with 665 rooms! The resort also boosts various pools, a beach within 1 minute walking distance, tennis and squash courts, a sauna and steam room, a kids club, 5 bars and restaurants all under one roof so to speak. Within 3km there's also a golf course, just one of many available on Phuket.

Convenient and 5* service although strangely enough no free internet in the room. 

An impressive resort with all you need to relax and kick back for a while and if this isn't enough for you, plenty of things to do and see outside of the resort as well. Plenty of restaurants, shops and attractions in nearby Karon and Kata. Patong is slightly further away.

Relax at affordable prices in a centrally located area.

The Leaf on The Sands Resort, Khao Lak

During my recent visit I finally visited the The Leaf on The Sands Resort, Khao Lak resort, next door of The Sands and run by the same Kathatani group and formerly known as the Andaburi Resort.
The resort is centrally located with plenty of restaurants, dive centers and banks within walking distance and the Khao Lak central area within just one kilometer of walking distance, where even more conveniences can be found, like a couple of supermarkets and the obligatory 7-11, we're in Thailand after all, right!

The hotel rooms, 92 in total, have all you need, basic but convenient with aircon, fridge and bathroom and breakfast is included at a great rate to boost! Two things to keep in mind, the ocean is about 600 meters or a 10 minute walk away and the room has only one power connection, so bring a cable with additional power points.

Not the top end best hotel in town but a very good deal for a nice and calm surrounding, clean and with good management that I can highly recommend.

Where To Find Cheap Hookers in Bangkok

I've mentioned before that what you see in Nana, Patpong and Soi Cowboy is just a tip of the iceberg when it comes to Bangkok's cash for sex scene. Sure, those three red light districts are built for the sole purpose of entertaining foreign sex tourists in the form of gogo bars and beer bars.

But the local Thai men that don't have a whole lot of money to spend have their own little pockets of areas for finding hookers. Now a lot of these places are practically inaccessible to the average Mr. Johnny Foreigner. But if you've ever had the chance to travel through the rural areas of Bangkok you'll find lots of tiny bars with tinted windows with stools outside with 500THB hookers sitting around waiting for Thai customers on a budget.

That's right, 500THB is the price to pay for these girls for short time. But typically Thai men will buy drinks too. Usually a bottle of cheap whiskey and get drunk before going up to a short time room with a girl. These tiny little bars are no place for foreigners so no matter how cheap their women are it's probably best you stay away from.

But where else do the locals go for cheap pussy?

A lot of Thai guys have cars so there are places they'll drive to right in Bangkok for cheap sex and thrills. Thanon Phet Uthai is one such place. So guys will pick up a girl, drive to a quiet spot and do the deed. You're probably thinking well that is gross. Where does the girl go to get cleaned up when she's done with a customer? There are places nearby with a public toilet. You might still think that's gross but hey that's just the way it is. Though there are small Thai hotels nearby that rent out room by the hour. Just ask the girl and she'll take you to the nearest one.

Personally I prefer to take the ladies back to my place since I have my own car. And chances are if you ever get to this area you'll probably be taking her back to your hotel room. If you are not familiar with the streets of Bangkok it's probably not a wise idea to follow someone to a situation that is not in your control.

This very popular local pick up spot is near the Makassan Airport Rail Link and Phetchburi MRT subway station so you can walk there in about 10 minutes. But you'll at least need to get a taxi to get back to your hotel. Not unless your girl won't mind hiking it back to the subway station.

From my experience the ladies will charge foreigners more money but not as much as hookers you'll find at Nana Hotel parking lot or along Nana Soi 4. At Thanon Phet Uthai I get charged about 800THB for short time and for long time about 2500THB to 3500THB depending on the looks and age of the prostitute. From the gathering of street hookers I see there often I am sure you'll find some in the 500THB range with no problem. That is if you like older unattractive women.

And Then There Are The Parks...

A park with plenty of car park spaces for customers are also prime areas where Thai hookers hang around for horny locals.

Even Chatuchak Park where the famous weekend market takes place has a small freelance scene late at night. Starting about 10pm I've seen prostitutes standing around Phahonyothin Road side of the park. That's the only spot I've seen prostitutes as pictured on the map below. Not sure if there are more inside but I don't think so. It's quite a long stretch of road but the Chatuchak MRT and Mo Chit BTS subway stations are right on the same side of the road.

Chatuchak Park Map...

Out of pure curiosity I drove out there once to ask how much those girls charge. This was around 11pm at night on a weekend and I saw about 4 hookers. As I walked closer I could see they were all butt ugly. One of them was a butch looking ladyboy. Now this area is very dark and not well lit. No surprise they were all hanging out under that spot.

They saw me approach and being the only white guy in a half a kilometer radius I could see them licking their lips. I turned around right before they opened their mouth asking me where I was headed in Thai. I backtracked towards a line of waiting taxi drivers on a break and asked if they knew how much those hookers charged. A few drivers said 500THB for 30 minutes or an hour. Could be cheaper if you bargain. One of them told me if he had the money at the moment he'd go bang two of them. I nearly vomited in my mouth when I heard that.

So never once have I ever picked up a hooker in that area. But I do drive by that area and ever so often I do find a couple of cute girls standing around. If I wasn't busy I suppose I would've stopped and talked.

Lumphini Park Map...

Another park where you can find hookers is at Lumphini Park, which is not far from Patpong red light district. Nearly a 10 minute walk. At night this park is a haven for street prostitutes even though there are many police in the surrounding area.

There are a mix of young hookers and old hookers. Real girls and ladyboys. Some just hangout out sitting around in the same spot. Though most are just walking around and about in sexy clothes. This place is a popular pick up spot not just for local Thai guys with not a lot of cash but also foreigners who want a cheap bang.

I've never picked a hooker from Lumphini Park either. But from what I've been told from reliable sources is the asking price for short time is 1000THB. But that can be talked down to 500THB to 800THB. Long time is about 3 times that of short time prices.

Working girls at the Bus Stop...

Finally, one last place where you can find low priced hookers is right on Sukhumvit road right between Nana and Soi Cowboy red light district. Particularly between Sois 4 to Sois 7, it's an area I call the Bus Stop because it's a local bus stop. Also between Soi 15 (right outside S Sukhumvit Hotel) to Soi 19 (right outside Westin Grande Hotel) are also some spots to pick up cheapies. As I've been told, most of the girls, and I am saying the ugly ones will head off with you for short time for a measly 500THB.

The Million Baht Question?

So you're all probably wondering, are these cheap hookers hot? To me, they are not attractive at all. I'll probably get a bunch of email or comments from guys telling me I'm wrong. That it is possible to find a hot Thai hooker for 500THB. But I'm being realistic. No right minded attractive Thai women would open their legs for such low amount of money.

Young and attractive freelancers may charge a minimum of 2500THB for short time or about an hour and probably twice as much for long time. And they don't stand around dark street corners waiting for guys driving around in cheap cars. The best looking girls moonlighting as hookers hang out wherever guys with money are.
