Any advice for a first time traveler going to thailand ?

[gpeck80]

As in decent hotels near the action (where they let you bring a guest), good security air con etc ? Any other advice cheerfully valued. Thanks in advance !

I usually post in the bris section but I figured a more populated area might increase the odds of good advice. Cheers brothers.

I goto Soi Cowboy a lot so i stay at Millenium as its very close. Good hotel and sexy female staff. I miraculously managed to get a date with one of them too. Transport is at your door step too

Bring stack loads of condoms too. Too many is never enough

Thank you both of you. Cheers.

Hospitality in Thailand has an understanding and tolerance of what tourists desire. Most hotels will advise over the phone or email what the additional guest fee is. Everybody wants a piece of the action as tey say.
The 2 problems associated with company in Thailand can be summed up using just 1 sentence:
Be careful what you bring home...

okay first. tripadvisor.com is your best bet for travel reviews. if in bangkok near soi cowboy AND NANA plaza and very very handy to transport like MRT (underground) and Skytrain. I would say Park Plaza near the Queen Sirikit park. just down the road from the Financial Centre is a food stall market.

if you can not afford Bangkok, then Bangla Road in Phuket is a must. go during off peak season to have all the girls to yourself instead of fighting with other European tourists. the best time is July August when it is Mothers Day and Queens Bday. you will save on Airfares Accommodation by at least 40% - there is also no need to haggle as much

Same for Pattaya but there is no PUBLIC regular service Airport in Pattaya (nearby Utapao is for the Air Force only) - only a 2.5 hour taxi cab ride from Bangkok which will need you to haggle your way to at least 2100 baht to make you feel good. if anything more you have to pay then imho you have been ripped off!

one word of advice from a guy who has had 3 ex-thai girlfriends and they are as gorgeous as Cici but with Lola's tits, dont get a lonely planet book - its not good for punting NOR is it a good travel book - its full of things you dont need - what you need to enjoy yourself like dating a WL and taking her Go-karting all night and karaoking is found in the next sentence below.

you need a groovy map which is available from any Dymocks or KinoKuniya Store if you are in Sydney. or you can order it online

it will show you all the naughty parts to go to for only $12 AUD

as always Ask DR Commander for advice and I will save you money!
