11. June 2008 .....................Koh Samui......................ANDREW
Hi, My name is Andrew and enjoyed your site so I thought that I would share recent experiences of the delights on offer in Thailand. There seems not to be much info on your site about Koh Samui, we stayed at Lamai Beach and had a fantastic five days there. From Lamai there are two main towns you can visit, Chewang and Lamai. We stayed in Lamai because taxi drivers here are far less easy goign than Bangkok and will set a flat rate of around 500bt to travel pretty much anywhere. The cheaper option is to get the bike taxis but the can be a little scary. There is plenty to do of an evening with kick boxing on in the main square most nights and entry is free of charge, drinks are a little more expensive though. We had a great night playing connect four and ninja jenga with a girl called Ki, the bars are a great place to meet the girls but forget bar fines here it is far too easy to arrange to meet the girls at a club called fusion afterwards. I even saw a few of the mamasans there. The going rate for a girls is 1000bt long time. On the last night I picked up a girl at fusion and took her back to my bungalow, she was petit but with a suprising lovely set of boobs that you couldn't notice from the way she dressed. She wanted the lights off which doesn'r bother me either ways. The main thing about this girl was how cool and special she thought she was. In the club I walked other to her rather than her coming over to me. She even asked me why I picked her. Because of all these little reasons I went absolutely hammer and tongs on her and my friend and his girl in the bungalow next to us were laughing their asses off at the amount of noiuse this girl was making. The highlight of my trip was after about forty minutes of sex she asked me why I hadn't cum yet to which I rplied that I was a real man and I'd be done when I was ready. She then responded you want to fuck all night you crazy. I was just about done but I just fell off her laughing. A low point was the next moring when my friend realised that his wallet had been stolen but it was his own fault through carelessness as he awoke in the morning with his door slightly open. Andrew |
10. May 2008 .....................Koh Samui........................... Note : I forgot about posting this for a few days and now on posting realise its not signed off and can't recall amongst the numerous emails I have received , who submitted it. Hopefully he will email and clarify. In meantime here is the Koh Samui section of his nice report : I've just come back from a trip to Thailand. Here's a write-up of what i got up to... Firstly i'll start with KOH SAMUI, where i spent four days. I stayed on Chaweng Beach which probably isn't a place for an out-and-out whorist but there is definite pick-up potential. In terms of gogo bars, i first tried DREAM GIRLS on the lively street leading up to the Green Mango club. It was busy with lots of beered up tourists and even a few couples. There were about ten girls on stage, ten girls doing the rounds, some good lookers, some good movers, but i chose the one with the cheekiest smile and playful nature (she was also the curviest). The barfine was 600 baht and although she quoted me 2500 for long-time, she ended up staying the night for 1500. Her name was Jaob, she was 26 and eager to please. The sex was great, she cuddled up to me as we slept and then in the morning we fucked again. I gave her a decent tip. A much better bet for gogo action in my opinion is CHARLIES ANGELS. Head up towards Green Mango, follow the road around to your left, take a left at the junction and then Charlies Angels is on the road to your right. There were about 20 girls in total, lots of which were very pretty. The girl i chose was Mui, a really pretty girl who had that innocent butter-wouldn't-melt look about her. She had glasses, a tongue piercing and was a great little dancer. Again the barfine was 600 and i paid 1500 for short time. I had a great time with her - she had a great little body, lovely dark brown skin and small but perfectly formed tits. Lots of kissing too - it was like girlfriend sex. There are a number of massage places around the back of Starbucks, just a three minute walk from the Green Mango area where i saw a few decent lookers, although in the end i opted for PINK LADY on Chaweng Beach Road. You can't miss it, it has a big pink sign. There were only four or five girls when i visited and they had to be called through to a waiting area (no fishbowl here). A few nice ones, a few bored looking ones, price 2000 baht. I chose the girl who greeted me on reception, who undoubtedly gave me the best sex i've had in my trips to Thailand. She led me upstairs to a pretty basic room and introduced herself as Top (Top by name, top by nature!). She had long curly hair, a big smile and a latino look about her... although she assured me she was 100% Thai. She gave the most energetic, passionate sex i've ever had - it was really hot and sweaty, with lots of frantic kissing and she collapsed in a heap on top of me afterwards. A+ for effort! The main area for beer bars is the Green Mango area. Head up the road towards the Green Mango club and there are a number of bars either side of the road. Follow the road round to the left and there are lots of open-sided beer bars with lots of girls. I went to one of these (can't remember then name) with a friend to play pool and a really pretty girl kept rushing to the table to re-rack the balls every time we finished a frame. Her name was Ann and she was a very cute looking 20 year old, who hardly spoke any English but had a really innocent smile. Her manager explained that it was her first night working at the bar and it would be 1000 baht/ST or 2000 baht/LT. When i took her back to my room i became convinced i was her first ever customer. After we showered she lay next to me, wrapped in a towel and just cuddled up to me. Sensing she was nervous i didn't rush her and after a while we were kissing - really gentle stuff, like boyfriend and girlfriend. This went on for about half an hour but then she unwrapped her towel and before long i was fucking her slowly in missionary. She let out lots of gasps and groans, so i was gentle with her, but by the end she was on top of me, riding me confidently. The best bit came after we both came... she collapsed on top of me and just lay there for about ten minutes, kissing me from time to time on the neck while clenching her muscles around my dick. A really memorable girl. There are also definite pick-up opportunities at 1 o'clock when the bars close. Lots of girls can be found around the 7eleven at the intersection between the Green Mango road and the beach road. I picked up a pretty girl here after a night out and paid 1000 baht for a quick fuck before bedtime. She had big fake boobs and sent me to sleep with a smile on my face. All in all i'd say Koh Samui is more geared towards package holiday couples and families (so it can be a little awkward walking a girl back to your hotel room) but the honeys can definitely be found and i had some really memorable girls. |

7. 1st March - June 2006 .............. CHIANG RAI - Overview......................... Thomas (of whorist.com)
UPDATED : This original FR is updated on a regular basis (beyond June 2006). See after this date for any new postings above. Although I do not visit Chiangrai much nowadays cause Philippines takes up most of my time. The following info is a culmination of years of collecting info up to and including 1st March 2006. Updates to that information have been added after re-visiting Chiangrai again. As we still travel to Chiangrai on a fairly regular basis , we will update this Field Report .7. , from time to time. Check the "Fishin for Fun" series in NEW page too , for info on this and other towns we visit. JUNE 2006 Decided to update this one report (below) indefinitely , rather than post seperate mini reports after it. So , from my point of view , this is the definitive report on Chiangrai. I dont think anyone else in the world has put so much info on such a tiny town before : ) Keep coming back to this report for the 'latest' on Chiangrai , the most charming and non sexy town in Thailand. Personal opinion only , of course. It's a long way from Bangkok. Dont go there unless your desperate to get away from hard core action of places like Bangkok/Pattaya.
CHIANG RAI : ORIGINAL REPORT with updates. SEX with HOOKERS CHIANG RAI : Note : I still visit this town , but not much nowadays. It is no longer a Monger town , died a natural death. So fact it is not updated often really doesnt matter. No one visits , so no one updates. It is very slow paced including the nightlife , nothing much happens or changes. Here is largely dated info :
This 'time warp' of a town is situated north of Chiang Mai. Well, I could say a lot about this place. It was, and I emphasis the word was , a top whoring town pre-Aids days. Along came Aids, bad publicity for Thailands tourist (and whorist) industry, so the local authorities launched an aggressive drive to wipe out whore houses/brothels. Then around 2002 the government got serious about cleaning up Thailands sex image. This clean up campaign continues and has seriously affected Chiang Rai. To my knowledge only one Lady House the 'Wat Lady House' (my nickname) exists , see info below. There might be one or two more but damned if I can find them , and I have tried , believe me. Found one more December 2004 , but by September 2005 it was 'gone' (such is the night scene .. ever changing). Chiang Rai nowadays is a whorist ghost town but still retains its old world charm , and if you have been pushing it to the limit , little Chiang Rai , with its push bike taxi's (samlors) is a nice place to chill out and still get a naughty or two : ) MAPS : We suggest you buy the The "B&B Thailand North" Map which has an adequate map of Chiang Rai in addition to the large Chiang Mai map. Then you can mark on the B&B Chiang Rai section the spots indicated on our makeshift map below. You can buy maps (and Thai Dictionaries) in Chiang Mai , at the DK Bookshop which is located in Kotchasan Road , about 75 metres up from the corner of Kotchasan and Loi Kroh Roads , near No.22 on our Chiang Mai map (see our 'Chiang Mai Basics' web page) . Kotchasan Rd Chiang Mai , is on the opposite side of the Moat to True Blue Restaurant/Johns Bar. DK Bookstore is a large white building set about 50 metres back from the road. Ask anyone you come across , everyone knows the DK Book Store in Chiang Mai. Alternatively , buy the same map at a Bookstore in Chiang Rai itself , but the choice in maps there might be limited. The Chiang Rai Tourist Office next to the Tourist Police (No. 15 on the Map below) also hands out free local maps. But sometimes they lack detail and accuracy.We have produced a very simple map below , to give you some idea of where everything is. Use it in conjunction with the B&B Map we mentioned.
-------
TRANSPORT :From Chiang Mai - By Air : Last trip there were no air services to Chiang Rai from Chiang Mai , only from Bangkok. This could be the result of SARS , Chicken Flu and other drama's. Chiang Mai -Chiang Rai flights could resume at any time , I suspect. UPDATE : No sign of flights resuming , bus is the only way.By Bus : Bus Terminal and tickets at Chiang Mai "Arcade Bus Terminal" . It's a relatively short and safe trip. Not much traffic on the road. By VIP bus it took a pleasant 2.45 hours to get to Rai. Bt216. Thirty baht from Rai bus terminal to central Chiang Rai accommodation (either Tuk Tuk or Samlor). They might ask for 40Bt : )All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com Within Chiang Rai - You have a choice of Tuk Tuk , Samlor (bicycle taxi) and Songthaew (communal pick up trucks). Tuk Tuks try and get Bt30/40 for every trip , Bt50 for others. Samlors are available at Bt20 for most trips , Bt30 for others. Songthaews charge 10 Baht for just about any trip , provided they are going your way. Ask beforehand. By the way , No.4 on the Map below , is the Chiang Rai Bus Terminal. You can hire a Honda Dream Motorbike from ST Motorcycle Rent , 527/5-6 Banphanrakarn Road, just down from the corner of Rattanakhet and Banphanrakarn Roads , ie , the Clock Tower intersection. On the left hand side if coming from the clock tower. See No.11 on the Map which is the mini Go-Go area. The Go-Go laneway leading on to Banphanrakarn Rd is roughly opposite where the motorbike hire shop is located. Baht 150 per day (Baht 130 in Chiang Mai where there is more competition) Make sure it includes Insurance. Take a helmet with a visor. Check tyres , brakes and lights before going very far and return to bike shop if defective (mine wasn't). This is the best way to get around Chiang Rai , and for little excursions to places like Mae Sai in the north. Alternatively if you want some exercise and fit into the 'old world charm' of Rai , hire a bicycle at 'Fat Free Bike Shop' in Banphanrakarn Road very close to the corner of Phaholyothin Road. From Bt50 per day up. Drivers Licence or a stiff deposit (Bt2000 and up') is sufficient security for the friendly English speaking owner (woman). I dont think they supply a helmet or lights though.
MAP : See our rudimentary Map below.Note : the spelling of street names varies from map to map. We have followed the B&B spelling. No.8 on the Map below : Tourist Inn - 1004/4-6 Chetyod Road. Phone 053.714682. No fax/email. Very good location , small and a little homely. Not a Hotel atmosphere. No problem with overnight ladies. Friend 'road tested' the place. I personally inspected it after he recommended it. There are two buildings. For discreet 'lady' action I suggest you use the 'old' building which is still in good condition and is located behind the 'new' building. Double Fan Room with Hotwater Baht 200/300. Not sure if they had Air Con rooms at the back, if so deduct 50 Baht off front building Air Con price. Front building , where you will have to pass the Reception and fellow guests (backpackers and the like) lounging about - Double Fan with Hotwater Baht 250 ; Air Con 350 . No.12 on the Map below : Suknirand Hotel - 424/1 Banphaprakan Road. Ph. 053. 711055/711801. Fax: 53.713701. Heading west along Banphaprakan Rd , and on the left hand side , you pass over the intersection with the clock tower , and you will find Suknirand , before Sanambin Rd. Dbl Air 550 Dbl , Fan 320 Baht. Rooms , ambience etc seemed ok. Reasonably convenient location. All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com

RESTAURANTS :There is not an over abundance of good eateries in Chiang Rai. Even so , there are at least two good places ... Ayes Restaurant and the Wiang Inn Hotel , see below.
Wiang Inn Hotel - No.5 on the Map above. 893 Phaholyothin Rd (main drag). Phone: 053. 711533 Fax : 66.53.711877. Great place for all you can eat Buffets : Breakfast 7am on' Baht170 ; Lunch 11am on' Baht120 ; Dinner 7pm on (?) Baht300. Just front up, outsiders welcomed. Try this one and Ayes (above) before you try others , think you will be impressed mostly with Ayes. Muang Thong Restaurant - Further down from Wiang Inn Hotel , on the same side and on the corner of the 1st Soi (Sanpanart) , South of Wiang Inn. Cheap and popular Chinese Restaurant. All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com Bier Stube - Phaholyothin Rd (main street). No.6 on the Map above. About 75 ? metres further south on the opposite side of the road to Wiang Inn. German/Thai menu. Good standard. Reasonable prices , but has seen better days. Possibly change of management by the time you get there. Stick with Ayes for similar food and better choice. UPDATE : New management and name .. Bo's. Looks like a Thai Restaurant now (?) Stick with Ayes. Other Eateries - You might like to munch in Chetyod Road (Jetyod/Yedyod same street) see No.10 on the Map above. It runs between Banphanrakan and Satharnpayaban Roads. Chetyod is the (mini) Beer Bar street of Chiang Rai. A few foreign owned eateries there too that you might like to try. Personally, I regard them as breakfast spots only. Wiang Inn and Ayes , if your really hungry.All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com
NIGHTLIFE Venues for SEX with HOOKERS Chiang Rai : Beer Bars - Location - Chetyod Road (also referred to as : Jetyod/Yedyod). From the Clock Tower intersection and walking down Chetyod/Jetyod/Yedyod (take your pick of spelling : ) Road (No.10 on the Map above , running vertically South to North) , the Beer Bar/Girlie scene starts about 150 metres down the track on your right hand side . (First lane on left is 'Go-Go' . See further on Go-Go Notes). Clock Tower intersection : Well it is the intersection of Soi Chetyod (No.10 on the Map) and Banphanrakan Rd. That is , the intersection close to No.11 on Map (Go-Go area)Most , if not all of the Beer Bars are on the right hand side (coming from clock tower). Maybe 6 on right hand side and 2/3 on left hand side , in all. Not your typical Pattaya style Beer Bars. Small cantina's with an equally small number of cute smiley girls in their employ. Normally only 2/3 girls to each bar with some bars seemingly only one girl : ) Never asked to bar fine , but Ladies Drinks rule and I believe barfines at Bt350 are available (can take girl out). Another Bt1000 max for an all night show would be normal. Girls themselves are reasonably attractive (no stunners) and particularly sweet and charming. A happy, friendly , but not particularly sexy atmosphere pervades Chetyod Road micro mini Beer Bar scene.
UPDATE : The one in Sinambin Road seemed to have closed down and the Wat Lady House only had six 'used by' babes. In effect the previously active Lady House scene in Chiang Rai has been destroyed by the government. Do not travel to Chiang Rai for Lady Houses. Wat Lady House -It's No.7 on the Map above. Before reading all of the following info , let me tell you , since writing the stuff below , the owners of this place , under pressure from the government , do not do business with foreigners anymore. Of twenty five girls they would only let me select from five seasoned troopers. The good stuff was for Thais only ("fully booked" papa-san said : ) UPDATE : Only six tired ladies (Bt2000 LT) there last trip , no other girls on premises. Looks like this business is going to crash. There is no easy way of describing how to locate this place. Best is - to find the Tourist Inn (see Accommodation Notes) and then backtrack in the clock tower direction (Northerly) , to the first lane on your left. The Wat/Temple is located on this same corner. Proceed down this lane and the seventh house on the right is the only lady house in Chiang Rai nowadays. There is a little Buddha box to right of long steel gate and its lit appropriately with a soft red light. Thats the 'Wat Lady House' (my nickname for it). Samlor drivers will take you to this place if you say "Lady House" or better still : "bahn pooying sow". Better babes at the Wiang Come Hotel Massage Parlour (which is not saying a lot : ) Sinambin Road - It's No.9 on the Map above. See Update below !From Wat Whore House , if you backtrack to Chetyod (spelt differently on dif. Maps) where you entered the lane in the first place , and turn right, and go to the next T intersection with Satharnpayaban Road , one hundred metres or so down , and turn right into that road (S P Road ), then turn left at the first intersection, you'll be in Sanambin Road.The only place of any interest is a 'garland' sing a long spot on left hand side. Its quite a big building and had girls sitting out front when I was last there. See pic of girls and more info in "Fishin for Fun - 2" in NEW pages of this website. Lady Houses : This street housed 2/300 girls in days of yore. Not any more. Only the garland place mentioned above is worth your interest and time. All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com ------------ Massage Parlours Sex - No.5 on the Map above : Wiang Inn Hotel , Phaholyothin Rd - 1200/1600 Massage /Sex. 15/20 girls max on offer. Friday Sat nights best. An odd 'looker' sometimes. Baht1600 90mins. No.17 on the Map above : Wang Come Hotel ... no longer has a Massage Parlour (victim of govt clean up drive). Karaoke - 1. Wiang Inn Hotel (see Massage Parlours No.5 above) , had three or four uninspiring ladies sitting out the front. 2. Inn Come Hotel (see Disco's below) had a good line up of 15/20 pretty girls outside their 'Kumkhong' KTV. If facing Inn Come's Par Disco , Kumkhong is about 70mtrs along to the right. Girls sit out front. Beer 90Bt , usual expensive ladies drinks/time situation for the girls methinks. Thai language skills important , otherwise you will have a 'dummy' sitting next to you. Pretty girls at Kumkhong ? , thats for sure : ) Arrive 10/11pm. UPDATE : Last two trips quality of girls out front of Kumkhong was lacking. Massage Parlours No Sex - Pemayipat Street , off Phaholythin Rd (see your Map) , about 5/6 in this street. Baht100 no hanky panky. Walk around surrounding streets , seems to be blossoming (massage no sex). Disco's - are a remote possibility for pick up. Remember this is a small town. Any gal who steps out of a disco with a falang will most probably be branded a whore. Even so , if you like to gamble and see what the young set of this province look like (pretty damn good) try Par Club Disco at Inn Come Hotel , Rajbamrung Street (off Phaholyothin Rd) , South of Night Bazaar area (some distance , way past No.1. Map above). Baht150 entance , Beer Bt80. Action starts around 11pm , stops 2am. On the corner of Rajbamrung and Phaholyothing Rds there is Reuenthip Hotel with its own smaller but popular Disco too. Named 'Sperm' Disco , yes sperm. Par Club is the one on weekends , possibly Sperm for during week. Restaurants (Waitresses) and Bars in this street (Rajbamrung) are always a possibility too : )All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com Night Bazaar - It's No.3 on the Map above. Heading north along Phaholyothin past Wiang Inn and on the same side, you will see an arch over a Soi with people sitting down on the bitumen selling handcrafts. There is a Kodak shop on the corner of the Bazaar laneway. Walk in under the archway and when you come to steps on the left , walk up them and enter the nightmarket proper , sit down at any of the tables , have a beer , watch the traditional thai dancing and perv on the young ladies walking around. UPDATE : best perving and pick up tables have now been removed and replaced by 'shops'. Hence chances of a pick up greatly reduced. Nowadays do not count on a pick up at this Night Bazaar.A walk down memory lane : One night , in times gone by , I scored a young lady at the Bazaar , whilst sitting at one of the tables (spider and fly) UPDATE : These tables now removed ! , who took me home in a late model Volvo. Think she must have had a Sugar Daddy. She drove like crazy through quaint little Chiang Rai and had the music on full blast , smiling giggling and laughing all the way , especially when I asked her to slow down : ). Admittedly I had got her pissed (drunk) at the Bazaar beforehand .... devious : ) A one night stand, with promises of a return . She did return to my accommodation the next day but I was out. She left a note with management saying she could not come that night. Never saw her again. Sugar Daddy must have found out , or she was not too impressed with my performance : )That was the only time something like that happened in about twenty or more visits to this town. But then , I am not so young anymore : ) MISC Internet Cafes : In the main drag (street) where the tourists and whorists wander up and down , named : Phaholyothin Road (No.1 on Map above) you will find them here and there. Also in side streets running off main drag. In Phaholyothin Rd , "Mae Hong Solong" is one popular with falangs , boasting of its special coffee (?) etc. A new one : "Connect Internet and Cafe" is also in the same drag , on the opposite (Night Bazaar) side of the street , just North of Thai Airways. All charging much the same , and cheaper than Bangkok or Pattaya , from memory. ---- CONCLUSION : Chiangrai is a rather small dormant town sex wise , where its hard to 'butterfly'. Nevertheless , a mix of Wiang Inn Hotel Massage ; Inn Come Hotel Disco and/or Karaoke , and Yetyod Road Beer Bars , might be sufficient for you. Depends how much time you've got. If only staying for a day or two (most folks) then the first mentioned (Wiang Inn) is the only sure way of getting a respectable bang (f . . k) with the minimum of fuss. Even then , some guys are disappointed when they visit the place , especially if best ones already taken. Be prepared for a 'slow' and limited sex scene in Chiang Rai : ) --------------

6. 1st Jan 2006 .............. MAE SAI - Overview......................... Thomas (of whorist.com)
The following info is a culmination of years of collecting info up to and including 1st Jan 2006. As we do not check out the Mae Sai scene anymore , doubt if we will post another Field Report about the place. Its up to others that follow our footsteps , to keep readers up to date on Mae Sai matters. UPDATED : This original FR is NOT updated anymore.
SEX with HOOKERS
MAE SAI : In my opinion , this town is no longer a sex destination. Of curiosity value only. Governments crackdown has seem to have made taking ladies back to your hotel for sex mandatory and 'difficult'. Didnt find any 'lady house' (massage) that allowed 'nookie' on the premises (didnt try too hard either : ) --------------- A one street town that is worth visiting every 3/5 years for one night. That’s Mae Sai : ) The main street of Mae Sai is the same name as the main street of Chiangrai - Phaholyothin Road. How’s that for being original. Wouldn't be surprised if Phaholyothin means 'Main' in Thai language : ) TRANSPORT : Catch a bus at the Chiangrai Bus Terminal (No.4 on Chiangrai Map above). Costs next to nothing (40 Baht , Air Con ?) and takes about one and a half hours to get there. Alternatively zoom up on your hired Honda Dream motorbike. I have done both , but because of punctures and other problems along the way I go by bus nowadays.Within Mae Sai - Songthaews will take you from the Bus Terminal to the Myanmar Bridge/Border area in the main street. Cost me Baht20. 10 min trip 20 Baht, 90 min trip on air con Bus (ex Chiangrai ) 40 Baht !Once you have settled in , use the motorbike taxis. They can take you to the limited number of nightspots. Ask them how much per hour (Baht50 ?) , and do a tour of the nightspots with them. "Bahn pooying sow" (house with young lady) works everytime. Otherwise just say : 'Lady House' : ) ACCOMMODATION : MAP : Neither B&B or Periplus have an inset map of Mae Sai. But you really do not need a map of this place , as it is a 'one horse' town. See our simple map below : No.2 on the Map below : Wang Thong Hotel - 299 Phaholyothin Road. Phone 053.640387-92. Fax : 053. 732233/733399. Finding it : Coming from the south and walking along the main road/street of this town (Phaholyothin Rd) north , towards Burmese Border/River. The last road/street off Phaholyothin Rd on the right (coming from the south) runs along the river . Well just before that last road/street there is a laneway leading to Wang Thong Hotel , Mae Sai’s biggest hotel. It looks like a pedestrian laneway , but on Lonely Planet it is presented as a regular Soi/Street. Vendors line the laneway before the Hotel itself. This hotel is of special interest because of its Buffet’s and very pretty waitresses. I ate and perved here, but slept in sub standard Daw Guest House on one occasion and Taitong Hotel on another. Wang Thong is not cheap for Mae Sai. Rooms Baht750/1000/1500. Not sure how you would go if you brought a Baht500/1000 LON into the foyer : ) No.9 on the Map below : Tai Tong Hotel - 6 Paholyothin Rd (right side heading north towards bridge) Phone 053.731975-6 Fax : 640988. Baht 250 Fan ; Baht 300 Air for basic rooms , then better Air Con rooms for - 500/700/900. Much more convenient location. I have stayed there , ok place , but no hotwater for 'fan' prices. No.10 on the Map on the map below : Tip Sukon House - Walking up the main street (Phaholyothin Road) you turn left under the bridge to Myanmar (Burma). Walking 200mtrs along this river road known as Sailomjoi Road , you will find Tip Sukon located on the first corner on your left. You will not see the river because of the buildings built on its banks. Tip Sukon is a little upmarket by comparison to Daw Guest House , listed below. Baht 2/3/400 rooms. O/N Guests - It would pay to ask beforehand. There is no 0/N Guest problem with tiny little Daw Guest House : No.11 on the Map below : Daw Guest House - 9 Moo 1 T. Wingpangkum. Located on the opposite side of the same corner as Tip Sukon House. My room had no window and was Baht160. No extra charge for overnight ladies. Very rudimentary budget accom for a short stay. Think I would try "Tip Sukon" next time. Although the Manager (Owner ?) at Daw had a very good grip on the English language , including expressions, and falangs/foreigners needs (sex with Thai Ladies : ) All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com RESTAURANTS : Map below , in Nightlife section. You will be hard pressed to get a decent feed in this town. Personal opinion only of course. You might be easier to please than me and thus have no problems with Mae Sai's Restaurants. No.2 on the Map below : Wang Thong Hotel - see above where its also mentioned in the accommodation notes. I found this place the best bet for a feed. Try their Buffets. Plus they have pretty waitresses , and a nice ambience , and my favourite - Klosters Beer : ) Other beer brands available too , of course. Alternative is "Johns Restaurant" on the river road , right hand side , before Tip Sukon House (see accom , No.10 on Map). Adequate menu , falangs meet here. Worth a try.
NIGHTLIFE What there is of it : ) Venues for SEX with HOOKERS MAE SAI : No Go-Go , about a dozen non sex Massage places and no typical Lady House as in days of yore. If you want sex you have to take a massage babe (very ordinary , the ones I saw) back to your Hotel , but getting a Hotel to accept your babe might be 'difficult'. They were asking Baht1000 all night (take home) , and thats all they would be worth. Amongst about a dozen 'b grade' (some c and d grade) massage joints the best one was "01 Thai Massage" 394/1 Moo 3 Wiangpankam Mae Sai , Phone 053-732600 or 09-5554910. They showed me their album of girls , I wasnt all that impressed , but saw a couple in the flesh walking past who were better than the other ten or more places I visited. From memory I think it might have been possible to bang on the premises , not sure , but hey forget Mae Sai. There is also a little bit of a Garland singalong scene , and a fair sized disco called BM. Called at disco during week , it was pretty empty , might rock on weekends. Suggest you hire a motorbike taxi on an hourly basis , minimum 3 hours @ Baht50 per hour (otherwise not attractive to him) and go to every single sex spot. Tell the driver - "Barn Pooying Sow" , which translates to : House with Young Ladies. You could also use expressions like : "Lady Sing" (= Garland shows where ladies are not cheap but possibly can be had after hours next day) ; "Lady Dancing" (No GoGo) ; "Massage" ; "Beer Bar" (Nil Pattaya style beer bars to my knowledge). If the motorbike taxi boys cant find the girls, then there are none. Do not shout him beers along the way , too dangerous. They get carried away on small amounts of alcohol : ) Maybe at last stop , ok. All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com

Lady Houses - See above notes , now called Massage and no sex on the premises (govts clean up drive). Location : See No's 5 , 6 & 8 on the Map above. Actually a bit misleading see instructions below. Quickest simplest way to find them is hop on the back of a motorbike taxi and tell driver - "Lady House" or "Barn pooying sow". Translated = House with young ladies. But if you take ladies after alighting the motorbike 'taxi' you will most probably pay an inflated price , which includes a tip to the motorbike driver. If you walk to these houses you will find they are not far from the main street/drag (5 mins from Wiang Thong Hotel). Here are the directions to them. Didn't come across street names , so the instructions are a bit vague.The best way of locating the former Lady Houses (sex on premises) now called , Massage (no sex on premises) is as follows : Walking from a southerly direction (eg from Chiangrai ) along the main drag/street of Mae Sai , Phaholyothin Road , (No.1 on the Map above) , towards bridge and Burmese border , you enter the laneway before the 'river' road. This same laneway houses Wang Thong Hotel (No.2 on the Map above). It is on the same side but before the cement 'Myanmar Border' sign. You have gone too far , if you are at that spot. So back to the laneway. Continue on down this laneway/soi until you come to a T intersection , that is you can not go any further , and turn left until you come to another T intersection , turn right and there should be a place (No.5) on your left , further up at the crossroads (see Map) you'll find No's 6 , 7 and 8 on Map above. There is an enchaged Buddhist Shrine in this area (See Feb 1st 2005 (No.16) link on 'NEW' page for pics). There are at least six other similar places , here there and everywhere. Motorbike taxis are required. Garland Nightclub - On one occasion I took a motorbike taxi who delivered me to a large barn of a nightclub. Singers and dancers get on stage, you buy garlands if you want to impress. Lady you buy garlands for sits at your table and you buy ladies drinks etc. Some pretty singers here. It’s something like a Cabaret. To cut costs you could arrange to meet one of the garland girls the next day, otherwise its going to be awfully expensive to take one of their star performers away from the other customers who want to hear her sing , buy her ladies drinks/garlands etc . Management sometimes makes more via drinks and garlands than 'bar fine' (if that is feasible , dont know). To get home I had to hire the Managers private car for Baht 100 to Daw Guest House. Do a deal with a motorbike taxi, eg fifty baht per hour, mininum of three hours. He sits and waits for you outside, then off to the next one. Good way of getting an overview. Mae Sai never was a good whoring town , as of my December 2005 tour , it is even less so. |
5. 1st Jan 2006 ............... KOH SAMUI - Overview......................... Thomas (of whorist.com) The following info is a culmination of years of collecting info up to and including 1st Jan 2006. As we do not travel to Koh Samui anymore , doubt if we will post another Field Report about the place. Its up to others that follow our footsteps , to keep readers up to date on Koh Samui matters. UPDATES : This original FR is NOT updated anymore.
KOH SAMUI NOTE : Originally I personally collected the info on Koh Samui , but then updated from reliable second hand sources. Nowadays cant be bothered going to Samui just for a 'minnow' (mini) sex scene : )Ko Samui has a relaxed laid back atmosphere. Girls consequently come across as less commercial/money orientated and with more personality. But the number of pretty girls is limited . As a rule , pretty girls gravitate towards the big cities like Bangkok. Pattaya , Patong/Phuket and Chiangmai , offer a lot more opportunities than Samui. European younguns wanting to hang around tropical beaches , and return to cold Europe boasting "I've got a tan" visit this place. An older person might feel a little out of place (Young Europeans disapproving of oldies going with youngies : ) Whereas a place like Pattaya is a straight forward 'animal farm' where everyone feels comfortable. Personal opinion only.High Season - December to Feb ; July - August. Accom. can be difficult then. Prices Dec to August - high. Sept to Nov prices more reasonable , with some not waiting for Dec to increase their prices. It's a touristy beach scene, not a genuine whoring scene like say Pattaya. Even so , there are enough Ladies to keep you busy for a few days at least. Maps : Possibly try www.samui.org/map .......Place cursor over area of interest , eg Chaweng and it enlarges into broad detail. I hope to find a better internet map source one day : ) TRANSPORT : ex Bangkok -Train : by Train/Bus/Ferry - Thai Overland and Tour - 407 Sukhumvit Road, between Soi’s 21 & 23, and therefore a long walk from Soi.4. area, so catch Skytrain to AsokE4 Station (Soi 21).

No train ticket sales during lunch hour. Call 9a - 11a or 2p -5pm.Round trip Ko Samui, Phuket, Hatyai - Train/short Bus tripsIf you want to go to Ko Samui, Phuket and Hatyai the cheap way. Here is one suggestion utilising trains to the max. I do not have much confidence with long haul bus trips . Possibility of accident or your valuables being interfered with are greater with the long haul buses. You should discuss the feasibility of buying all tickets in Bangkok with the TOT people. Bangkok to Ko Samui - TOT Travel Agents, 2nd class special express train to Surat Thani Baht 6/700 ?...and 10/11 ? hours. Bus/Ferry/Bus to Nathon Pier Ko Samui Baht ...170 ?....and ..3 ? hours..., then Songthaew (shared) to Chaweng Central , Baht 50, 45 mins.Ko Samui to Phuket - Consider Songserm Travel Agents, opposite the Nathon Pier (Ko Samui) in amongst the line of shops for tickets. Songthaew, shared. Chaweng central to Nathon = Baht 50 and 45mins. Bus/Ferry/Bus Air con to Phuket Baht 300, 7 hrs. Phuket to Surat Thani - Buy ticket in advance at Songserm Travel, Nathon Pier , alternatively, all tickets at TOT Bangkok.

Buy tickets in Bangkok or from Songserm Travel or in Hatyai. All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com
Air : Note - cause of 'terrorism' and consequent hike in Insurance rates for Airlines , prices quoted hereafter might have sneaked up a bit.Ex Phuket to Samui by Air : Bangkok Airways, small plane, 35/45 mins (Baht 1800 + !) Samui Airport - They make you wait until all bags are off the plane before you can take yours = Ten to fifteen minute delay. even if your bag is one of the first to be offloaded. ATM’s - didnt see any, doubt it , thatched roof, no walls. Info Desk - didn’t see any. Booking Hotels - yes, some info available. Map - take free one from Bangkok Airways Limo Desk. Bangkok Airways Limo Service - Mini Van, not sure if they had Limo on offer ? Mini Van Baht 100, not far to accom. area but some dropping off of other passengers along the way..........mins ? Ex Samui to Phuket by Air : 1800 plus ! Bt 35/45 mins , hard to get a seat ! Note - 100 baht Dep.Tax. (These figs could have inflated). Air from Bgk : Bangkok Airways , Baht 3500 one way ? , double for return. 1hr & 15mins. At Samui Airp. Air con Van 120bt to Chaweng, 100 bt to Lamai. If/when Thai airways gain rights to fly to Samui , air fares should drop. All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com Transport on the Island :Songthaew pick ups - everywhere and usual fare 20 Baht (share).50 Baht at night if Chaweng-Lamai. They put up fares at night. Regular taxis also fairly common, but no need for them when Songs’ are everywhere. Motorbike Taxis abound. Seemed to be charging same as Songthaews. Motorcycle Hire - Honda Dream 100c = Baht 150 per day.
ACCOMMODATION :All of the accommodation I have listed is in Chaweng and on the beach side of the main road. It’s about 100/150 metres from the main road to the beach . Some rooms at these places are only 20 mtrs from the beach itself. Note - High Season is December - Feb and July to August. Clarify re overnight guests (extra overnight charge ? ) before paying for a room.
Coconut Grove - 159/6 M.2. Chaweng Beach. Phone 077.422269. No email/fax . South of Montien House, opposite Islander Restaurant , or alternatively, next to Pizza Hut , is a laneway. CG Reception Office is about 75 metres down that lane, on the right. Baht 300 but only suitable for backpackers on a very tight budget. Good location and cheap for Chaweng and November of the year , when I was there. Listed by Lonely Planet , but unfriendly, slovenly/lazy lot running this place. About 150 mtrs to beach itself. Honda dream via them Baht 150 per day. This place (which I briefly stayed at) is not reco. unless your on a very tight budget and there is no other accommodation available in Chaweng.All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com Chaweng Gardens Beach Hotel - 162/8 Chaweng Beach. Ph. 077.422265 Fax 77.422265 Email : chawenggarden@yahoo.com. Location - from Islander Restaurant heading in a Southerly direction, 100 mtrs up on opposite (Beach ) side of the road you will see a sign : Chaweng Gardens Beach Hotel, enter that laneway and 100 mtrs down there is another similar sign and rickety fence.Walk through the property and past rooms 150 mtrs to beachside Restaurant and Reception Desk. No high/low season prices. Price same all year round. Fan 350 cold water. Air Con, with Hot Water, about five different categories from 750 to 1000 Baht. It looked very good, including beachside Restaurant. Nice Garden, shady trees, buildings in good condition. Recommended for a try. Baan Chaweng Resort - Phone 077. 422403-4 Fax 66.77. 422404 Heading further south along the tourist drag/main beach road, 100 mtrs up and on Pizza Hut (beach) side you will come across another lane with a Baan Chaweng Resort sign. Dbl Fan 500 Baht cold water; Air 800 Baht hot water. o/n no extra (throughout Samui I think). This place is not competitive price wise with Chaweng Gardens. Also entrance to beach obstructed by old buildings and rubbish laying about. Restaurant empty, not so ‘Gardens’. Nice tropical garden and accom. buildings in good condition. ‘Gardens’ is a better option.--------Note : Lamai cottage accom can be had for less than Baht500 per night. You might glean more accommodation info via : www.samuiaccom.com ; www.samuiguide.com ; www.sawadee.com/samui/resotel/All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com
'Will Wait' Restaurant - Heading South - 25 mtrs up from Pizza Hut on same side. Popular , but for me, nothing special.PS: There are plenty of other Restaurants to try. Cant' miss them.
NIGHTLIFE Venues for SEX with HOOKERS KOH SAMUI : Quality of the girls is so-so, most good lookers go for the young European travellers. It's not a genuine unabashed whoring destination. Too many foreign women around - 'observing'. Less so in Lamai which is quiet by comparison. Sex Massage has just started to develope in Koh Samui. But I do not have any details as yet. Possibly "behind Starbucks" (?) There are basically two areas .1. Lamai Beach: Bauhaus Pub/Disco is worth a try , midnight on'. More laid back and less commercial than Chaweng. Bauhaus is the Freelancer haunt at Bt500 Long Time (pay more if you wish : ) . There is also the possibility of picking up a freebie at Bauhaus , but don't bet on it : ) There are a few Beer Bars where your drink will cost around Baht 60. "No Problem" Bar ; Beer Bars near the Boxing Ring and Central Lamai Plaza are popular. For a Lady there is a Bar Fine of 200 plus 'tip' to the Lady - Long Time is Baht500 , but they will ask for Bt1000. Some , after first night will even drop their price below these figs. To date there is little ST mentality in Lamai. Whereas in Chaweng , its starting to creep in. Overall - cheaper and less commercial than the Chaweng 'touristy' area..2. Chaweng Beach has everything Lamai has, plus a little more and therefore is a little more 'commercial'. The Reggae Pub and Green Mango Disco and surrounding Beer Bars is where the action is. Prices a little more than Lamai's. If your youngish, ladies can be as cheap as Baht 500, otherwise 1000 is the correct rate. Naturally some ask for more. Suggest you hold out for 750/1000. Talking about Chaweng now : ) 1. Chaweng Beach :Green Mango -In the heart of the Chaweng tourist area and a short walk South from Islander Rest. and on same side , ie not beach side of road. Beer Bars - are the first ones you come across , both sides of the alleyway x 20/30 bars, 2/3 have disco dancing with 75 or so people in attendance , including a sprinkling of foreign women. 33% of the Beer Bars were well catered for on my survey , others were suffering/empty and it was November ! , maybe I was too early as usual : )Green Mango Disco is at the end of alleyway and to the right , about 200 people in attendance on the couple of occasions I called. Didn't see a great number of pick up possibilities. Signif No. of falang/foreign women around there too. Thais def. in the minority when I was there. Thai girls in Green Mango area are a little more sophisticated than the beer bar girls of Reggae Pub area. Nowadays there are two Go-Go Bars in the Green Mango area. Enter main Green Mango soi/entrance and you will find Dream Girls on the left. Continue on around the horsehoe soi , turning left all the time and then you will find G B Lounge Go-Go on your right. Bar Fine Bt500 , Short Time Baht1000 and up , depending on demand. Note - if busy , gal might only stay with you for one hour. Long Time 1500/2500 depending if high/low season/demand. Not cheap , and just as good looking gals elsewhere in Samui for a lot less , eg Baht 500 all night at Lamai. These Chaweng Go-Go's are aimed at first time tourist suckers : ) Reggae Pub - Beer Bars : From Islander Restaurant catch a Songthaew Taxi heading in a Southerly direction. At night, 20/30 Baht if left on the main beach road , where you have to walk half a kilometre or more to the Beer Bars and Reggae Pub itself. 50 Baht and the driver will drop you right in the heart of the Beer Bar area , or at Reggae Pubs doorstep. Reggae Pub itself is only 40/50 metres further on from the Beer Bars. 20 Baht return trip if you use the motorcylce taxi’s which are parked alongside the Beer Bar strip. 5/10 girls in each Bar. Average looking and youngish. Casual , relaxed , friendly atmosphere. Bar Fine Bt200 , Short Time Bt500 , Long Time Baht1000. You can get them for less , if your in no hurry. Fairly dormant on the couple occasions I was there and therefore not inspiring. Reggae Pub itself - This is only forty/fifty metres past the Beer Bars, on the right hand side. As you enter , the Bar on the left is the biggest and most popular. Smaller bar to right. Band and singers good. Signif. number of falang women. When I was there , about 30/50 relaxed Hookers, ( will not normally approach you) representing about 20% of crowd in attendance. Not many really good lookers amongst them. 12 m/n on it starts to rev up with the nearby Beer Bar girls drifting in. Signif. number of patrons come with partners. Beer was not cold ( 1 off prob ?) and 90 Baht.........No entrance fee. LT anything from Baht 500 - 1000. Not a short time venue.Nothing like other pick up dance halls/disco's in other parts of Thailand. Not the numbers or quality. Drink plenty of beer and you will have no problems in selecting someone. The more beers you drink , the prettier they look : )All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com O'Neils Sports Bar - This place has the reputation of a Freelancer (FL) pick up place. Located at the northern end of the strip on right hand (beach) side , 50 mtrs from Green Mango area. Utopia Club - UPDATE : Closed , see Field Reports for further info , incl. 'replacement'/alternative to Utopia. Written before closure : This is a relatively new player , something along the lines of Eden Club in Bangkok (See Bangkok Other Nightlife notes). That is , a 'fantasy house' of sorts , uniforms , alternative sex etc available. Check : www.geocities.com/utopiasamui ...for more info. It's not far from Mango St and the action , ie convenient. Massage - Apparently there are Massage Parlours close to "Starbucks". Sex available. Originally dormant , the sex massage scene seems to be gradually growing and Starbucks area seems to be where its happening. Pink Lady Massage : I am a bit hazy on its location , but it is supposed to be at the Southern end of Beach Rd and housing better looking ladies than those employed at the Massage places near Reggae Club. This is not saying a lot , as Samui Massage joints employ 'dragons' (hence no sex : ) Pink Lady opens 12noon to 12 midnight Baht2000 for 1 hour of Massage and sex. For Samui , this is expensive. Obviously aimed at the first time sucker tourist. Service is reportedly mediocre at best. So you've done the beat , it's 1/2am and your still empty handed , then try : Entrance to Green Mango -Hang around there , anytime from 11pm onwards. LON 'predators' abound : ) Also near the 7-11 Store (opposite Chaweng Gardens Beach Hotel) and Burger King , 1am on , apparently. Short Time 3/500 , Long Time 500/1000. Islander Restaurant - Early hours of morning not many punters. Take a Beach Road seat, sip a beer and see the goings on lam - 2am. Katoeys trawling up and down on their Honda Dreams/on foot, looking for a sucker, chatting to each other, swapping notes. Fun to watch. It was amusing to see one novice falang motorcyclist , both feet skidding along the ground trying to maintain stability . Whilst in this state he was propositioned by a Katoey who trolled up alongside him on another motorbike. Consequently the falang nearly fell off his bike. There are more lady boys/katoeys hanging around Chaweng preying on gullible first time tourists/whorists than at Lamai. Be on guard : )Occasional chicks were heading home empty handed. You can call them in to join you at your table. Good rates 1am - 2am : ) I scored a respectable Baht500 LON that way. All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com

Massage either Area : In both Chaweng and Lamai areas , a sex massage with average or below average looking women is not Thai cheap : Baht2000.
Full Moon Beach Party :Check www.thaisite.com/fullmoonparty/ for specific details. Punters have told me the following - The beach party takes place on Ko Phan Gnan Island at Haad Rin Beach. They do not necessarily wait for a full moon : ) If there happens to be a full moon , the party is held the night AFTER for religious reasons. You might see Notices pinned up around town. Transport : Speed Boat. A return ticket of Baht550 can be purchased at Hotels or Travel Agents. Departs Big Buddha Pier and takes about 20 mins. Latest info : www.thaisite.com/fullmoonparty/ Beach party for the young at heart , very few if any hookers, lots of foreigners incl. foreign women. There are thousands at the N.Years Eve 'Full Moon' Party , which usually starts on the 29th going right through to a.m. 1st Jan. Accommodation is understandably tight around this time and one should arrive at least a week beforehand. Finishes sun-up the next day and thus ignores governments 2am closing requirement. However, you can return early if you like. Speed boats leave regularly for Chaweng. There is a Police presence , but beware of thieving. Don't leave anything unnattended . For the younguns, including foreign women , who might outnumber the Thai gals. Check it out , and let's know : ) # Black Moon Beach Party :Info via the grapevine - Held on Ko Samui itself at "Secret Beach" in Maenam. Black Moon meaning , no full moon , presumably. Held every second week. You catch the local communal Songthaew taxi to it. Two hundred and fifty (250) to 1000 people attend this one. Some Freelancers. Kicks off around 1am and finishes at sun up. Your Drink Bt100. Not many go if it rains , cause the township floods. ------- Na Thon Pier Area - A long distance from the abovementioned areas. It's where you arrive and depart Koh Samui by Ferry. This is the exception to usual Koh Samui massage prices. At the Na Thon Pier area and next to Palace Hotel you will see girls sitting out the front 6pm onwards. Inside , there is 1hr Massage and sex for as low as Baht500. |
4. 1st Jan 2006 ............... HATYAI - Overview......................... Thomas (of whorist.com) The following info is a culmination of years of collecting info up to and including 1st Jan 2006. As we do not travel to Hatyai anymore , doubt if we will post another Field Report about the place. Its up to others that follow our footsteps , to keep readers up to date on Hatyai matters. UPDATED : This original FR is NOT updated anymore.
HAT YAI Is it worth travelling to ? Accommodation is satisfactory , but the Restaurants for me were lacking (others disagree). Nightlife is quite ok but would rank number four behind Bangkok , Pattaya and Patong (Phuket) for ‘opportunities’ and liveliness. The city itself is flat and uninteresting , lacking any charm or uniqueness. Personal opinion only , of course.Even so , this town could be for you. You'll never know , until you go , and check it out for yourself. TERRORISTS : March 2005 Hatyai .... Muslim insurgents let off two bombs , one at the Airport , the other at a Department Store. Two people killed others injured. Beware , they might be heading from their camps deep in the South in a Northerly direction (to eg Hatyai) , to gain more publicity for their 'cause'. If they ever get as far as say Phuket , then that will be it , tourism/whorism will plummet.
:
ACCOMMODATION :There seems to be an oversupply of Hotel accommodation in Hat Yai, hence prices are reasonable and service/rooms are good, including no objection to overnight ladies and no extra charge. Prices quoted below , can float up or down according to demand and supply , for example , when there is a Public Holiday in neighbouring Singapore/Malaysia and tourists/mongers stream across the border , prices can rise. Louise Guest House - Address : 21-23 Thamanoon Vithi Road. Phone 220966. Dbl Fan Baht 300; Double Air Baht 320 ? (yes I think so) . Generous sized room and bed. Clean tiled floor, plenty of windows and thus ventilation, central location and satisfactory management. Typical with Hatyai , no overnight lady charge.Take one of the freebie town Maps at the Reception Desk. They are easy to read and helpful. A fresh change from the scrambled Bangkok Maps. There would be, no doubt , better accommodation for the same money or a little more, but I intended to only stay about three nights and once I have unpacked my bags I usually stay put , and that's what I did at Louise Guest House. No regrets, it's ok for a budget traveller/banger. Kosit Hotel - 199 (?) Niphat Uthit .2. Road . Coming from Thamanoon Vithee Street , its on the right hand side just after Niyom Rat St. Phone (074) 234366 Fax (074) 232365. No Email. Double Air Baht 590. Looked a good place. Karaoke sign to the side of the building , but I did not enter. Kings Hotel - 126 Niphat Uthit .1. Road on left hand side around the corner from Thamanoon Vithee St. Phone (074) 261700-7. Fax (074) 236103. (ie 66.74.236103) No Email. Single room , double size bed Baht 390. ( Make sure room has x 1 double bed and not two by one and a half sized beds). Double room , Double bed Baht 490 includes breakfast (590 if two persons, both get breakfast). It was an ok hotel (I inspected the rooms). All of this info belongs to : www.whorist.com ------ Did not personally check the following : Lee Garden Plaza Hotel - 29 Prachathipat Road. Ph. 66-74-261111. Fax 66.74.353555. Email:reservation@leeplaza.com (www.leeplaza.com). Baht500 and up. Not far from Pink Hotel. No Ladies for sale/rent on premises though, as is the case with Pink Hotel/Complex.
River Inn Hotel - It's more than a walking distance from the centre of town. Ph. (074) 356621 Fax 074. 231871. No Email. Has Cabaret ; Sexy Dancers etc. Did not personally check.
RESTAURANTS : In respect of food, I am almost what you would call a vegetarian, although I do partake of fish on occasions. Hatyai was a disaster for me in respect of Vegetarian style Restaurants. Everything seem to be fried in Hatyai. Not for me. I tried to fill up on vegetable soup with rice, most of the time. There was one spot where I was able to scrounge some vegetables, beans etc and make up a meal. This place was not very salubrious , but I managed to survive , eating at it. Name : T.S. Vegetarian (real backpacker joint : ) T.S. Vegetarian - small, local style vegetarian eatery. Very cheap. 16 Prachatipat Rd. Opposite Central Sukhontha Hotel. Not far from the corner of Prachathipat and Niphat Uthit .3. Streets. Get your bearings by first locating Lee Gardens Hotel, nearby. See free handout Tourist Map for specific location of the Streets. Don’t expect too much, but if your a vegetarian this place could help fill your stomach. Other Restaurants - For budget style Restaurants you could try Thamanoon Vithi Street. Coming from the Railway Station direction, most of them are on the right hand side of the street as you head East. On the corner of Thamanoon Vithi and Niphat Uthit .3. Streets there is an elevated , and open to the elements , Restaurant that looked interesting ,and was popular with meat eating budget foreigners. The Pubb - 79/4-5 Thamnoonvithi Street. between Niphat Uthit .3.St and Sanehanusorn Streets, on the right hand side. Cheery , English fluent and helpful Hostess , who usually stands at the entrance. Ask her for assistance in finding places etc., she will oblige. Live and competent Band. Beer Baht 140 when they are playing. Attractive waitresses and good atmosphere. Restaurant - perhaps for you.
