Scott40 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hi gang, I just joined LB Reviews, and I am so sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I figured because it is LB related (and related to the scene in general) I I would be ok to post here. I am coming from Melbourne, Australia hopefully on 2nd August and staying in Pattaya (most likely LK Empress). It's the first time I have traveled anywhere alone, I'm totally bricking it, and would really love someone to show me around a bit, have a chat, and just steady the nerves somewhat, before I go ahead and sample Pattaya. Ideally, I'd like someone local to Pattaya or someone who regularly visits, but none of this is set in stone. Some kind of support for a fellow LB admirer please? :-) Thanks so much in advance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXASMAC Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I will give you the advice that I was given for my first trip. Do your research, check the bars on line, use Thai Friendly and ask the BM's here. Then make your list and when you get off the plane throw the list in the trash. Enjoy not plan.

ArchieBunker Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I would say dont go crazy making a list and making palns set in stone. Some of the best night I have had are when plans had changed or I didnt have any plans at all and went with the flow. I wont be there in early August or else i would take you to a bar or two. If you have half a brain, you will take to things like a duck to water. I guess it can be daunting the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobber32 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I basically agree with all of the above. It doesn't hurt to check out the location of the bars (can do on here) and ask advice, and have a vague plan in the back of your mind, but leave it there and enjoy your trip. We've all been first-timers once; try to relax and as Archie says, go with the flow. All the best for your trip, Scott40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyzzy Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 My first trip I read an older forum for hours. When I arrived in Pattaya I mostly knew what to expect. As mentioned learn where the LB bars are located and just walk in and have a drink. If you are a hansom young man (under 45 or so) you will get a lot of inviting looks from the girls. If you an old ugly fart like me you might only get a check me out look from part of the staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXASMAC Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 xyzzy, I remember it was explained to me that I had to pay "The Old Man" Tax. But was I going to fight over $17.00 to get someone I would NEVER get here in the states. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
