Patong crowdy right now?

[Maria]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if Patong is busy right now, or has been for the past few weeks?

Maybe I'll be visiting Patong again in two weeks time for a couple of nights.

Patong is pretty busy with tourists but the bars are not as busy - just seems to be a lot of families.

Hobbsy,
Please tell the girls to hang around, and not go home to Issan etc. We WILL be over in three weeks....
Cheers

More couples than I have ever seen here wandering around in Patong..

I have a theory thats why the LB bars are doing so well... You see lots of couples in there and I am guessing that chicks feel safer with thier straight guy in a LB bar than in a girly bar.. The 'he wouldnt go there' line of thinking..

 

[Wisen Smart]

Or are they looking for a threesome with an add-on for her? Not wondering if some woman think quite the same not to be lesbian if they have a LB as the man not being gay! so everybody can have his fun without beeing embrassed

 

[zerolandy33]

No I meant it in a way where they dont want thier BF's around BG's where they are tempted and make the assumption (note thats what they assume) that thier straight guy would not be attracted to LB's..

Kinda like a safer environment..

This kind of post always intrigues me and this time my curiosity has got the better of me.

No offence meant or intended (or double/hidden meanings !!) steven eleven but....

what difference does it make whether it is busy or not ? I mean, if someone says that currently it's quiet, will you change your plans and wait until someone posts that Patong is now busy ? Or will you still go down there regardless of whether it is busy or not ?

As I said, I'm not having a go or trying to start a fight - I was just wondering why the question gets asked

 

[Who <3]

Only reason I can think of is seeing if you have to book a room before or just walk in, and knowing if you can try to ask a better price.

ill take patong in low season anytime over high season as long as weather isnt bad. i always seem to spot a few girls i like everynight, and i seem to do well in LOS. thai girls seem to like me, especially ones that work in bars. i guess im lucky!

Hi Diz,

It's the sort of thing I would ask too. Not why he wants to know, but if there are crowds. Being older, I do not like crowds a great deal and if the sidewalks are packed then this is probably not the time for me to be there either. Had I been S11 I would have added that as a qualifier, but I am interested in the crowd situation.

One of the joys of now being retired is I can make a decision and act in a very short time frame. Flight costs are not that different when booking a week ahead or 3 months ahead so it makes little difference to me when I go. Other than of course, I'd like to get there real soon. :embrassed for obvious pleasures of the flesh, reasons.:biggrinlo

I asked this question because I want to know which price I should pay when I step into a hotel when I arrive in Patong, I never book up front.

The best way to check this out is to ask if the nightlife is busy ... acc to me.

 

[J2J]

well, i hope you know i was joking. all along i thought it was beer gut

unless i pooped my pants couldnt be anythign else. never owned a wallet. actually i have a pet peeve about putting things in my pocket. cant carry change, which tg loves, she gets it all. keys forget about, cell phones, thats why i lose them, always taking them out and putting them on the bar

 

[John V]

the hotel prices are normally pre-set depending on the season (low-mid-high peak-
no matter if patong is crowded or empty, it won,t alter the hotel price ,indeed they will probably ask more if they are quiet!)

 

[Lucy Blue]

Upcoming March\April mid season not that crowded and weather still nice.
Sidewalks in Patong, Pattaya and around Nana BKK are measured to 8 feet
wide only . Dense traffic in H seasons might require some patience or deviation to the street, have both radars on and avoid collision
