Funny Russian Women must be really agro because we have seen quite a few Russian women going off big time at their partners on walking street but always seems to be around that upstairs Russian gogo bar.

We spent hours in a mini bus to Koh Chang with an Irish couple who split up in Pattaya,it was the guys dessision and he didnt speak a word the whole trip,she was a bit upset by it all.

We also met a couple on their honeymoon by the pool of a hotel who were no longer talking to each other after 3 days!

My friend who as just come back for a few weeks wants out of Pattaya as it is now flooded with Russians.

Yeah I'm glad to be out of Pattaya now. The Russians love the place, without doubt they outnumber all other tourists.
Incredible - a honeymoon couple no longer talking to each other after 3 days!!! Sounds like one of Lisa Marie Presley's marriages.

With mongering going on everywhere in sight I dont see why Patts should be a honeymoon spot...

Of course if a girl wants to check on her Fiancee she could run him by Patts for a few days and check for the straying tendencies

Yep, ma kore I often wonder about folk who go to Pattaya for a HM. I guess many don't realize what goes on there, their travel agents book them in.
By the way, I guess you're a big Doors fan. Same here. Jim would have loved Patts.

The adds for Pattaya look so great in the travel agents brochours,and it is good if pattaya life doesnt offend you!

Also a lot of people have friends who have lived there or stayed there and want to check it out(without telling new wifey the full details)

We have been many times and am suprised Tracey has lasted this long but now she as said no more pattaya! no loss to me as I am sick of drinking cheap drinks at stone tables and breakfast at "Crazy Daves" with those stupid constant running vids of 'Only fools and horses.(I dont really eat there)

Mind you the"Cubba Huts" in soi boukaw are a litte oasis,and could forrget you were there all be it for the few bar girls that pay a short visit just to use the pool in the morning lol.

I wouldn't think Pattaya is a honeymoon destination because I think Pattaya is a hole.
God knows I am very broad minded but to me it's not a couples holiday, straight or otherwise. Miles and miles of girly bars and a thousands of guys on sex holidays but each to their own.
I certainly wasn't concerned with my husband straying off for a message with or with out 'happy ending'.
However, if you do decide Pattaya is for you I can recommend the Rabbit Resort, the owner, an American lady Deb is wonderful and nothing is too much trouble for her and her staff.
Another good hotel is the Woodlands.

I think the point here is: if you have never been to Thailand and Pattaya is a pretty close "holiday Destination" to BKK,then a few people will get a bit of an eye opener!

No body is saying it is good ,just that travel agents should let at least female travelers Know what it is all about!

Pattaya is what it is,and people should be told of the pittfalls!

I would hate to go to one of those African resorts where the men are there just to please the women!

But Pattaya is a mans world and women should know so.

I know people who refuse to holiday in Thailand because of the Pattaya type label but that is their loss!

Suits me fine,Thailand is a cheap holiday for us and we love it.

Get to know some people fom BKK and forget about the Laos girls and you will be fine.

Really? There are resorts in Africa where women go to get big black men? The mind boggles over that one. There are of course plenty of male whores in Thailand, never hear anybody complaining about that. Both gay and straight Thai men selling sex to tourists.

Yes and also Islands somewhere! It was on the "Cutting Edge" or some other tv doc a few years ago.

I dont think they go for the "Sex" so much as to be pamperd by men after a long year of single executive life style at the top.

OK, being served by big near-naked black men, guess that'll appeal to some.
