    I left the UK 2 weeks ago, and must admit I was pretty dismissive of this then.

    However, it is now becoming a bit worrying. It might be problematic getting home, and I could end up being quarantined when I get there, plus I might not be able to get back to LOS in May to renew my retirement "visa" are figuring in my thoughts!

    Well we're on Oman tomorrow and checked in normally online but another fella here on Emirates has gone to check in for Bangkok Dubai and instead of normal procedure its saying "come to airline desk at airport"

    The only time I've ever had that message was when I was bumped off a flight

    And let me guess, if your flight is banned/cancelled due to the virus outbreak it will be classed as an act of God so insurance won't cover it, and the airline won't be under any obligation to offer you compensation or an alternative at a later date. 

     

    No the airline itself will refund if their flights are cancelled. I suspect rerouting via different airlines would come into play though first

    If the Middle Eastern countries ban travellers from Thailand, will that also apply to people in transit to Europe, or can they still pass through?

    The bigger issue is not so obvious at first

    If all UAE citizens are banned than that will obviously include Captains First Officers and the rest of the cabin crews as well. I know they use other nationals but could be savage

    I seem to recall bottle beer is treated as a double LD. You have to specify a single LD when ordering, and then they only get a glass of something that passes as a drink.

    Great information appreciate that. I thought they were eye wateringly expensive compared to everything else...still if that was the only mistake we made we didnt come out too badly !

    Great TR. As for double LD, at 350P LD's I think you might have been paying for double LD's without realizing it.

    You could be right. You mean as in double gin and tonics for example ??  (so we wouldnt know)

    Having said that some of Girls were drinking a single SML but still 350 P

    Ok, good to know all that. When I’m ready, I want to enjoy myself and not penny pinch on ladies or hotels. But it’s comforting to know  we can go to AC and not need to spend $400+ a night to have fun with decent company. Always been a binge drinker, but really lost the taste for it the last few years, so more worried about those double LD, than my own beer prices.

    Although I'd heard of this Double LD thing absolutely didnt come across it to my knowledge.

    As regards Air Asia I've shrunk slightly lol I was over 6 foot 3 but around 6 foot 2 now. I'm around 107kg as well....Wasnt the width of seat but purely the pitch that was the issue

    Pacific Breeze has an ATM inside foyer I should have added. Didnt use it personally

    One item I forget to mention and kinda important if you're either tall or fat lol

    Avoid Air Asia to Don Muaeng. The smallest seats I have ever seen on a scheduled flight. I was incredibly lucky that I had an empty seat beside me otherwise I would have been stood at the back for 3 hours. Absolutely ludicrous seriously. (The outbound on Cebu Pacific was fine)

    Thanks again for adding to your report, it’s much appreciated. Even if it’s less than a week, definitely hitting Philippines next trip to Asia

    I'd say by our experience you can go 3 pricing levels.....not saying set in stone but say top end girl 2150 Baht (3500 Peso) plus say 200 Peso tip in morning

    Booze from 65 baht to 92 baht (105 to 150 Peso) in Go Go bar really cheap....even cheaper in Sports Bars like Envy

    Disco Girls say (923 Baht) 1500 Peso ST (I'm not into ST but mate always is and he had his pick in High Society at 1500 P)....I cant edit earlier post but meant to say SML in High Society Disco was just 62 Baht (1000 Peso).....there is an entry fee which varies from 200 Peso down to zero midweek

    In hindsight I was pleased I didnt do any research other than few forum threads etc and just winged it because it turned out perfectly.....I think obviously anyone on here will grasp the scene PDQ but if you'd never been to Asia at all may have been different

    Mid November we're looking at a 10 dayer

    ........Emmaline simply didnt want to go home....after a another session we retire to the Pool and grab some Sun.....I find on Youtube "Emma" By Hot Chocolate turn the phone up and say "for you" lol.....shes mesmerized said she'd never heard before...friend for life in fact she hasnt stopped via messenger since we left....

    Really noticeable the difference in pollution in the air.   Absolutely clear skies in Angeles unlike the haze am staring up at in Pattaya right now.....Obviously weather will change with the seasons for the rest of the trip

    If you're into the sun we found that clear skies through to about 1pm and then a gradually build up of cloud

    I sat on the lounger and was soaked in sweat within 2 minutes burning off the booze.....and really was a case of same sequence of boozing and best Girls we could find with most expensive being that 2150 Baht (3500 Peso) bar fine.....I was lobbing them 200 Peso  for trike in morning no idea if thats the norm or should have been more.....whatever every single one was up for repeats so clearly not an issue

    Favourites were Shooters Lancelot and Baiking (Viking).....if you want to stay on the piss 24/7 lol go to Voodoo which is open 24 hours a day even at 6am it was going strong and I thought it might be wise to sleep

    Special shout to Atlantis and Xs Showbars

    In Atlantis an absolutely huge place they had simply the best 4 Girl pole dancing team I've ever seen in my life all on one pole at the same time....absolutely brillaint and than some

    In Xs another huge place decent floor shows inbetween dancing.....Koreans on upper level decide to start throwing notes. I can see them floating down and all pretence at dancing as ended....they're 1000 Peso notes lol.....every dancer showgirl waitress hostess  outside security guys are now on stage jumping to grab them....a one off ??  Nope lol...this goes on for 30 minutes. No idea what those guys went through but the girls were over the moon not surprisingly

    High Society was the main disco from what we could see. An absolute sausage fest for sure.....in the main they wont or cant go LT because from chatting to many they are hotel staff cleaners waitresses etc

    Mate had a double team for 923 Baht each (1500 Peso) and said they were right lezzers as a bonus. Geezer could hardly walk straight to Kokomos following morning

    The ones that did or would go LT were quoting 3000 Peso far too much in my opinion you can take out a Go Go for that or it may well have been they quoted high as didnt want to go in the first place.

    Food was fine for me. Others have said its bland but I was fine. Ministop convenience stores got all the basics we need plus snacks etc. Water was double the price of Thailand. There was also a 7/11 further up from top of Walking St.....local booze Gin was incredibly cheap.

    Laundry just opposite Pacific Breeze hotel 170 Peso for 1kg of gear worked out about the same for 6 shirts as Pattaya.

    Couple of videos attached obviously not mine.....Every Saturday Scorebirds has a pool party from 2pm to 6pm....as a non resident it was 500 Peso to get in....right laugh as you can imagine that and the bikini competitions. I assume if you're staying at Scorebirds its free

    Have uploaded one of the videoes from Walking St that was on youtube....it kinda reflected accurately the lack of punters strolling around Walking St...There are many others as well

    Would I come again.....definately yes. Same same but different a good expression I would say

    Girls Cheap...Our own booze very cheap.....LDs which you could avoid obviously were expensive.....Disco Girls cheap to boot.

    Group trip planned for November

    We booked via Hotels own website. Could have been cheaper via one of the booking sites but as only 5 nights no sweat

    Really enjoyable trip all around.......

    Stop in to Centro located close to dollhouse same side there on walking Street. Ask for the manager Gabriel tell him you know Larry from secrets and baby dolls he's a really good friend. He almost married Apple from Secrets years ago good thing he didn't we still laugh about that to this day. If you love it there now you absolutely would have never wanted to leave 5 to 10 years ago it's a totally different place

    Yes would have loved to experience it 10 years ago. Although same could be said to a newbie to Pattaya today....if they thinks its great now 30 years ago it was in a VERY different league of GFE No tattoes and no attitude. Havent mentioned tatts in Angeles but they were considerably less than on their Thai cousins that was clear. Neither of had a single girl with any
