Cheaper too than Phuket.
Pattaya is like the land that morals forgot.
Highlights from my 3 day bender trip from Australia to Pattaya.
- Drank too much at airport lounge and on plane, couldn't walk and puked on myself in business class seat that airline buddy scammed for me. (His final words, "have fun but don't do anything stupid on board")
- Convinced a couple who must have been >60 y.o to drink with us on the flight. By the time we get to Hong Kong (for some reason we flew Aus-HK-BKK) poor old man is finished and we have to push him through customs on a luggage trolley as he cannot stand/walk. His wife is hysterical and screaming, "He has a weak heart you know". I think his heart is fine but the 12 Scotches he had on the plane might be the culprit.
- When you check into your hotel they explain the fee for bringing 1, 2 or more than 2 girls home to your room. This is explained as nonchalantly as a western hotel would explain check out times.
- Decided downtown Pattaya would be a good place to learn to ride a motorbike. Lol, ended up crashing into a parked car whilst attempting to do the "thailand right turn" which involves just driving into oncoming traffic and then merging onto the correct side of the road.
- Somehow broke a jetski handle off
- Whilst cruising around in a motorbike convoy heading to do some shopping when two motorbikes each with two thai dudes on the back box the lead motorbike in and one thai guy grabs a gold chain off the neck of an American passenger. (all this happening at 60+km/h) Crazy ****
- Last night I'm there after whatever bar we'd been at closed we hit a pool hall with some of the thai guys who worked at the bar. At some point my Aussie buddy goes home with a girl and I'm left with the barman army. WE shoot some pool one guy seems good so I challenge him to heads up. (I can barely stand at this point and he has had like 4-5 drinks and is a pool hustler/barman) The wager is if I lose I have to ring the bell and if he loses he has to naked 3 laps the bar. I lose..... 3 times. Ringing the bell involves buying a round for the entire bar (staff included). At the time there is only like ~50 ppl there but everytime I ring that ****ing bell i swear 20-30 thai "workers" magically appear.
-After the pool losses I decide am wrecked and need to get home. Problem is I am quite drunk and have no idea where I am, or where I am staying. Luckily I have the card for the hotel in my wallet so I show it to one of my new friends and ask him to take me there. This is where it gets interesting...
I jump on a bike with him and his buddy follows on another bike. We're happily cruising along when I realize we are def not going to my hotel. We pull up to a crappy apartment block and they say, "Mr Kieron we stop here quickly". Thoughts of missing kidneys and ice baths briefly run through my head but **** it I've survived this far. So we get off the bikes and knock on one of the doors, while waiting for the door to open Mote turns to me and says, "Do you want girl?". I assure him that I'm fine and just want to get back to my hotel. We head into what turns out to be his apartment and him and his buddy head out onto the balcony and fire up this monster wooden bowl/bong contraption.
After the two of them hit this thing for a while the man of the house explains to me the wife doesn't let him smoke and he wanted me to **** his wife so him and his buddy could smoke in peace.
After all this they drive me back to my hotel where the receptionist is astounded that once again I haven't bought girls home with me. (gf ftl)
All in all I spent roughly A$2500 in the 3 days 2 nights I was there but I bought 2 suits/5 shirts (all custom made) and ~300 worth of womens handbags. (These saved my relationship when i got back to Aus) Also I drank all day everyday which kinda added up I guess.
I'll try post some pics from the trip if anyone is interested
