first trip to patong

[awm_2266]

I will be arriving at 7pm Friday night (Nov 18). Staying at summer breeze. Traveling solo.

Can I get some recommendations on where I should start?

Thanks,

Start at the beginning, keep going till you get to the end, then stop

I like to start some evenings with a couple drinks at the SB Its nice to sit and watch all the people (ladies) heading to work as a lot pass the hotel on their way.

I think the plans would be the same whether in Pattaya, Bangkok or Patong. That is, no plans. Just do as the moment takes you, walk, stop, talk, walk, stop talk, all the time having a beer. The people you meet, the things you see will almost certainly decide how you spend your days and nights.

As you're travelling solo, like I will be for the first time 10 weeks today (not that I'm counting! ) you can do whatever you want, when you want

As advised, I'd have a drink or two on your doorstep then venture on. Your instinct (or lack of) will guide you to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

Ha, got it. So then what time do things really get started? And thanks again for replies.

I think you mentioned before you only have a couple of days, but arriving at 7pm gives you plenty of time for a good night out. Bangla Rd is up and running by then so aim there and then maybe a soi or two after 10.30/11pm. You won't miss Bangla - just follow everybody else.

As everybody said....just go with the flow. Plant a big smile on your face and soak in the good times.

The bars start as early as you like 12pm (Some start later), but the Night really starts getting lively around 22:30 - 23:00.

Well your off to a good start staying at the SB, get some food there and start drinking, sure there will be plenty of other friendly people staying there too if you need someone to show you about, or just head down to Mai Thai Bar for more drinks, then walk around bangla with your jaw on the floor looking for a ti lak for the night.

My usual first day usually consists of checking in, getting my room sorted. Then have a quick shower and a change. Go out get a new Thai sim card then get some money on the way back to the hotel. Depending on time, get some food either at base or one of my fav places. Then back to the room to return card and put stuff not needed in safe. Head down to SB bar about 9 to 9 30ish and have a few beers while passers by say hello and ask me how long I stay for or for my number(thai sim already got.... see). I practice my old lines at this point and try to make sure I have change by the time I leave for Bangla.

Hit Bangla around 10ish and see who's about. I usually hit at least 2 bars before MTB, just to see what's the craic like and to further practice my Thai. Hit MTB where I get slightly drunk before Nicke and Ead try to get me more drunk.

After a while I hit A club or two to see what's about.

That's too true. They're deadly good at gettin' ya drunk. Last night I was there in January this year Ead sent me off with a tasty long island iced tea. Quite a night!

I reckon plan not to plan... Summer Breeze is a great place.. friendly people and pretty damn good food at good prices... Just wander around town take it in, find somewhere u like and feel comfortable, plonk yaself there and ENJOY yourself.. one thing tho... my opinion only, DONT OVERTHINK what's going on around you... just allow yourself to go with it.... you will love it
Cheers

Sleep is over-rated.
