Hi, 27.june I am going to Thailand for the third time (alone) My prev trips ware in june 07 pattaya and koh samet 2 weeks, and new year 07/08 pattaya 2 weeks, so all i know thailand is Pattaya the most, as i spend most of my time there so far, and one night before flight in khao san rd. bkk. I like Pattaya sure, good night life, good schooping, beach, cheap, girls. But it kind of modern, not much cultural, and hard to find honest girl, for something more then sex and £$. So what I am thinking is to after i arrive bkk (15:05 sat), change airports, and go to Chiang Mai flight is 20:00 so i should get there right? taxi? plan stay there up to 8 nights and then go for 6-7 nights to pattaya, what do u think is it any good travel plan? Is it Chiang Mai so nice? I heard cute girls there Actually got one friend, met on net she so cute Student, say she can see me there So that one of my reason behind going there 555:) But that not the point really:) I am not too much in to temples and stuff, but like to see some Prefer party and schooping most time Want go to Mandalay club, anyone know it ? think most thai peoples going there Think it full up of cuties Any good go-go there? Where is the dirty area ? Chiang Mai soi6 ? I know there is walking street, but i guess bit different from one i know from Pattaya init? I wonder do i love this city? but i bet yeah for real


Can you advice me on some cheap hotels please

anyone know: Lai Thai hostel ? http://www.laithai.com/index.html 650thb/n


hope i not get bored there

thx for help

Chiangmai is nothing like Pattaya. A few bars and discos,3 or 4 soapy massage places. I'm bored after 3 days. Big question tho is why are you changing airports to fly to CM? Air Asia has flights from Swampypoon, I think Thai does too.

8 days is way too long for ChiangMai. I agree with BM Carguy, 2-3 days to do the touristy stuff and unless you find a sweet young thing that you want to stay with for a while, head south to Patts.

I was there in winter 2006, and after 2 days I had seen soo many temples I got bored with them. Night market on the weekends is worth doing though.

ok i go there and depends how it goes i stay there or go back pattaya i mean bkk, and then pattaya, hope i like it may be disco good

any reports on chiang mai ?

hey guys any more feedback on chiang mai please



cheers

I lived there 4 yrs..Nothing like Pattaya..Center of town are the bars, mostly beer type bars..No go-gos when I lived there..Disco mostly freelancers and L/Bs..Top North Hotel is centerally located and good value..Safe, clean with nice pool and a easy walk to most places of interest..If your looking at a laid back holiday then this is more suited for you...Train from BKK is a treat and very scenic..

Hi, no i am more after party, hmm, I am so confused, cuz i know what pattaya is about well I never been other place, now going third time to thai, I am going to pattaya for sure, at last for week. So i just wonder hard, go chiang mai or not, waist of time, may b i get bored there alone. I know 2 cute girls there from net, students, can meet may b But it not guaranteed u know what i mean haha, pattaya is top noch fun and got it all. But i think in pattaya can not meet good girl really, i mean it hard and I wish meet sincere girl, it hard in pattaya i reckon So may b it good idea for give a try in chx ? I got already ticket to chx, question is go or not, and for how long? or may b not go and go stay 14 days in pattaya stright up and get good time


anyway i am addicted to pattaya haha



thx 4 help

I say go for sure..City is laid out much kile Venice with many Canals..A Pretty city but your not likely to find a GOOD girl on a Holiday..Good Thai girls take lots of time..C.M. has its share of snakes too so just because your outside Patts Doesnt mean your girl will be a good catch..Spend a few days there to say that youve been and then come here..Meet the girls from the University..I suggest going alone and not take a Patts girl with you..Plenty of Hookers in that area so why take one?

Taking the train one way is an option but I wouldn't do it round trip.

When in Chiang Mai the first class sleepers were sold out so we went second class sleeper. They give each of you your own compartment. After being in teeraks's comprtment for 15 min, I decided it was too claustrophopic and climbed up to mine.

there is a beer bar complex down the first road, soi 1. around 15 beer bars of varying quality with a muay thai ring at the bottom which houses fights weekly, there are other bars in that area that all have girls working. there is a go go called the chiang mai star or some such, i forget... what ever you do DO NOT go in there! it is by far the WORST go go i have ever set foot in, the ugliest girls in the darkest lighting possible, i thought it was a scene from the film "hostel"

forget temples theyre boring, do doi duthep and forget the smaller ones, they all look the same, around the night market area there are many many beer bars and there is a go go called the honey club, but it is in the middle of the gay area, (dont ask me why seems a bit odd to have a lady go go surrounded by gay bars), girls in there are ok, but expensive.

head over the moat and into the student area near the universtity and the hospital for the real action, student bars are readily in reach and the girls are amazing, although you will need to speak some thai to ensure misunderstandings dont occur. but be warned - the girls there are not too interested in getting laid off old hairy falangs - they have an abundance of readily available thai students that are rich kids with more hair and better looks than a 35 yr balding, old ex pat!

chiang mai is worth a stay, but you got to explore or youll end up wandering the night market thinking that is all chiang mai has to offer.

it is the world capital of ruck-sacks, so if you dont own one, that is place to buy one.
