Butch Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 Bit of a double edged question really. When in town , do BM's prefer to visit a swathe of bars and cover a fair bit of ground, or just go out, look for a place you're comfortable in and stay there, or do you just go to a bar you're previously familiar with and stay for a while and move on to another familiar bar?. The "hit and miss" but nowadays more "miss" aspect of Pattaya would lead to some of us perhaps going to a familiar bar and staying there, but last trip I got caught out a bit, as my usual haunts (Jibbys and Town Bar in Treetown) were both lacking in the atmosphere and attraction that they had previously. As a result I changed my routine and went seeking different bars, but struggled to find somewhere which I felt comfortable and relaxed in. If I manage to get out there again in the near future, I think I'll adopt the "seek and ye shall find" strategy of visiting a large number of bars and seeing what turns up.

Freee!! Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 I have a tendency to visit a number of bars and other venues until I find one where I am comfortable. Once I have found one where I am comfortable, I usually stick around there until I am not anymore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya has it's fair share of bars where "familiarity breeds contempt" that's for sure !! Over the years I think there is only one bar I always visited...... others I would drift from one to t'other every few months or so... Before Blues Factory opened there was a bar called Hand Rock near the entrance that I would always use. Great band, cheap beer, cheap bottles of Sangthip and great company.. Loved it in there !!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true and in many cases, noticeable. I had a chat with @Nightcrawler where he had this happen in a Bar on Soi Honey, the manager began to take his customers for granted. It's always nice to be remembered, but I tend to look elsewhere when the girls start to hang around expecting a drink and then sulk if they don't get one. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 For a number of years after I first moved here I enjoyed ranging far and wide, checking out different bars and music venues. But as the years here added up, it's become a been there done that, and what's new doesn't interest me for one reason or another. Now I've become a creature of habit and only stop in at a select few. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite is when a sulking girl takes her hand and does a cheers with your drink,with her empty hand holding her imaginary drink... Many guys cave in right away when girls do this....

richy65 Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 I’ve got a couple of regular bars on Soi Nana I tend to stick to, I’ve known some of the girls for years and always have a good time. Probably boring for some guys. Now and then I’ll try somewhere different like the Soi 7 bars which can be great fun. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasseye Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 My bar nights are very limited nowadays in general (wherever I am). Back in the hey days (back in the States) I had 3 of them. On a typical night I would start out at a dive my best friend owned, get primed up there and then hit one or both of the others looking for tail. ---------------------------------- When in Patts I don't do much bar hopping anymore, just go wherever any mate happens to be or follow them around on a crawl. Now that Dolls has gone there isn't any place I get very excited about. I do enjoy an afternoon/evening in TQ every now and then. Beyond that it is all pretty much same same to me. ----------------------------------- Many bar owners/managers have their heads up their asses. Never properly managing, never showing appreciation (occassional beer on the house, etc.). I tend to end up in places where I like the manager/owner who is often in the bar. Mostly for a good chat and some laughs. Those types of places tend to attrack others who have good/fun attitudes also which makes for a good time. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to stay on that Soi for a few years but never seemed to see much action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
