Pattaya update August 2025

orson · August 30

Transport: used the bus from ekkamai to pattaya. Waited around 20 minutes before the scheduled departure. The toilet in the station has been outsourced to mr. Loo - a pay toilet company. When we arrived in pattaya bus terminal, i was surprised that only 2 of us went to the baht bus. So we waited for another 10 minutes to see if other passengers from arriving buses will join us. But alas no luck. It seems grab and bolt might be better alternative.

Going back from pattaya to bkk, i took a bolt car from my hotel to the bus terminal. I paid Less than the typical 100baht the songtew charges. I waited about an hour for the bus going to ekkamai. I was tempted to get the mochit bus, which was departing 30 minutes earlier. Is there a mrt/bts station that the mo chit bus can drop us off? For the ekkamai bus, i decided to alight in on nut bts as i see much traffic going to ekkamai.

There's ongoing construction along jomtien beach road, so the songtew does not return via the theprassit road. They make one huge loop. Good thing the driver stopped at the junction and asked if i was going straight or going back to the city. He dropped me off and i took another songtew back to the city center.

Not more roadworks! Where does the baht bus actually go on its way to Jomtien?

Bars: went to BBB, bar was surprisingly not that full on a weekend. Most of the groupies were asian women. Smoking was allowed despite the no smoking signs plastered all over the place. Most of them have a couple of guys drinking with them. One VIP farang came and was ushered in the front part of the audience. He had almost a dozen guys (including any few mamasan) drinking with him. During the 2nd show, he was picked as 1 of 3 to have a special dance by guys in bath robe. He was drunk and took his Dick out on stage during the performance. I don't know if you can off the performers, but i doubt it - more on that later. I was surprised the off fee was 1k, they want to earn from boys drinks vs off fee. 350b for drinks. The guys doing the big cock show goes around the audience around 3x a night, that's why some punters give less than 100b as there were around a dozen guys asking for tips. Bar closes at 0030.

Xboys: This is yet another bar that has 3 shows per night. I later recognize that the big cock performers on the first show was the same as BBB. They also share the bboy group. Unlike BBB though, this bar is mostly hands off except for the finale fxk show.

BBB after: i don't recall the name, but this is the bar opposite BBB where they direct customer after their last show after midnight. I find this place better. Again they pick 3 from the audience for a special dance, bboy show, a special bed show where a few from the audience went up to stage to have a chance to apply lotion and grope a guy lying in bed, the the big cock show. Drink prices are 350b as well.
