The center of South Pattaya is found along Walking Street, so-called because of the traffic that is blocked off from late afternoon till 2 a.m. Walking street is basically a strip of open beer bars, Go-Go bars, restaurants, shops, pharmacies, outdoor food stalls, discos (Tony's and Marine Bar), a Thai boxing ring (located under the Marine bar), a Seven/Eleven mart, and other shops and fun things to see. It's also a great place to meet women during the late evenings (midnight onward), especially around 2:30 a.m. when the bars/discos shut down and the women hang outside the Marine Bar. | ||

There are basically three discos in South Pattaya where hooker/tourist merge. The most infamous is the Marine bar disco, located on Walking street, second floor above the Thai boxing ring. The disco gets going around 1 a.m. and closes at 3:30 a.m. Follow the crowd directly to the Marine bar disco II which is open till dawn. Tony's disco, located on Walking street (about 2 minutes walk past Marine bar) has a lot of publicity lately. I think the band is way too loud and there are way too many vendors selling anything from flowers to drinks to cigarettes. The disco used to attract a lot of really cute girls, but now it's more of a male crowd with their Thai dates. The dress is casual in all three disco's, but you may not get into Tony's if you wear a tank top. There is no cover charge and a soft drink will run you about $2 at each disco. Your chances of picking up a girl at Tony's: 50%. At both Marine bars: 99%. Rate for sex at Tony's: 1,000 baht short time. Marine bar I: 500 to 1,000 for short time. Marine bar II: 500 to 800 for short time. Note the girls are all free lancers - you pay the girl, not the disco. |
