Hey guys I'm trying to plan a trip to Thailand and was wondering how much time is the right amount of time for each area. I have up to three weeks plus 4 days. Do I need three weeks, or is two enough and. I am mostly thinking about Bangkok and Pattaya. Thanks in advance...

Why not play it by ear?

I'm not wealthy enough hop on and off planes on a whim, not to mention I only get three weeks vacation a year. Americans live to work the rest of the world works to live. At least that's what they say, been true for me these last 30years.

What I meant was, there's no need to over-plan your trip.

Come over to Bangkok, pop over to Pattaya, when you get sick of it pop back to Bangkok or somewhere else.

Transportation and hotels are so easy here -- no need to plan far ahead.

And cheap.

I agree with icon, book a hotel in Bkk in advance for say 4 days, then make a further decision.

Bus trip to Pattaya is about 2 to 2.5 hours, a big range of buses, as low as just 5 or 6 US dollars. minivan services even cheaper but safety can be a concern. Depends on whether you want door to door service etc. Many of these services depart Bkk / depart Pattaya at least a couple of times every hour.

Hotels in Pattaya in low season (high season is just finishing) can be booked a day in advance, and again 5 star down to whatever. Very liveable hotels, safe, clean for US$25 or thereabouts, even less.

Why not give a few details of the level (stars) of hotel your happy with, and whether you want full gay hotel or whatever. There are many members here who live long-term in Thailand or visit regularly who can then give you lots of specific ideas / information.

I do hope your familiar with what 'gay bar' means in Thailand - the commercial sex scene, but maybe that not what your looking for. And of course that's your business.

Again, give a few more details, you'll probably get more advice than you can cope with!

Have a nice holiday.

In either Bangkok or Pattaya, what is the best way to engage a go-go boy, massage boy, or other boys as dinner companions / escorts? Usually they are not at the bars during dinner time.

If you keep a go-go boy overnight, what time the next day do they usually leave?
