I went out again last night, walked past Phillies and saw a ladyboy that I had been chatting with on Skype. I went for it and man I'm glad I did. She started out a little shy, but then she "blew a fuse" and rocked my world. I know its her job, but we really hit it off. She is a very nice person that I had the good fortune to take short time. So sweet that I'm worried that she might melt, if it rains... Ha!
About the bars, I'm not really that excited about ladyboys working in them. Yeah, you can buy her a drink and get to know here- but I can do that at Phillies as well... and her drink cost the same as mine. Basically the freelancers hang around outside and and if you invite her in, that's cool. If you take her, there is none of this bar fine BS that some ladyboy bars charge in Pattaya.
The bars on Fields are really slow, its a very low, low season. There are a ton of Korean guys around now, especially on the weekend. AC is close enough for a quick, two day trip.
Kokomos is another good spot to observe the night life, and LBs. They will try to catch your eye and, if you repond, they will some times approach and stand by the rail and exchange name, numbers, etc. Its not a problem if you invite them in, as long as you buy them a drink or food.
A couple of LBs have mentioned that they go to Paradise Beer Garden (near the junction of lower Fields and Macarthur Hwy) to shoot pool.
So there are three freelancer places to check out.
Good hunting!
