It really helps to make the videos YOU like to watch.
Paying for one of these bar girls while your back home working is the ultimate SIMP move.....😆😅
True dat! 👍
This guy is an absolute treasure!! My favorite channel about Thailand.
Another do's and don't video. Dazzler you are a legend. A very patient legend. If you collected all the beers we owed you. You would be one of those very sad units Trev tells us about.
My favourite Thailand videos are these ones you make. Some sights voiced over by your lovely commentary. Perfect for my coffee break ☕👌
Awesome, thank you!
Regarding whether the young girl was lying to you, I have no idea. Either way, I wish her all the best. That said, I always follow the advice and wise counsel of my late father: "Beware of strangers crying crocodile tears."
I have heard that similar story over and over.
YES , cancer , I am all alone , big family to feed bla bla bla ..... that is why I think first girl is not telling truth, not in Pattaya
Listening to your channel for a while and have found it very interesting and helpful. This video was the most informative. Excellent.
Welcome aboard!
Always Helps. Excellent from start to finish.
Hi Daz, another great vlog. On the first story I'd like to say that it is easy to get drifted by such stories and suddenly find yourself in midst of another human drama which is a typical with Thai girls in Pattaya. Now this challenges our humanistic side separating the wheat from the chaff, but we need to remember two very important elements, firstly we are here on VACATION or on retirement . So do I want to spend my time firefighting on behalf of others. Secondly, Kindness has no boundaries,I appreciate that, however don't we all have poor and suffering people in the places we left behind ? So my advice is to be generous with people you meet but never get involved.
Your the best you- tuber in Pattaya…keep em coming..thx
Thank you very much
Thx mate, great video and advice, love the stories
Regarding money exchange at the airport the bottom level has the best rate equivalent to TT Exchange it is Superrich best rate I found. Story #1 I would say True. Story # 2 follows the old Pattaya saying "you never lose your girlfriend you only lose your turn". Great starter points for the newbies!!!
I love the two Buddhas guarding the door
I always skip the exchanges and go straight to the bottom level. The rate is as good as TT as you said. This is some of the best advice I got for starting out in Thailand!
@@kevinc.8815 yes, Airport Link skytrain level .
@@kevinc.8815 and there is a 7-Eleven in the basement for a cheap coffee and to load up on snacks
The exchanges like TT do you have to have the cash or can you just use your debit or credit card? And how much would you recommend exchanging at a time.
Great advice about having an in-locked phone, something I never thought off but took for granted the sim would work.
Also love the stories, please do more as you have a great style
Great video I like the walk and talk format it's just like being with a mate and chatting ,first things first never believe anything unless you can see proof with your own eyes , may sound harsh but this is the land of smiles first story probably true second story is true and more than likely , see you on the next one
Thanks for the great tips!!!!
I love these stories at the end!
So nice...I love thailand..a beautiful country with the best people
Daz, as always, great advice 👍
Excellent infoDaz....right down to the menu!! which is great....those visitors also need to give themselves 1 day or 2 to adjust to time difference, jet lag etc LOL, I see one vlogger after 3yrs rush out 1st couple of days feeding from7/11 while boozing & end up sick for the next week
Another tip Daz,
Don't pre book hotels or acommodation unless you get a great deal because you can always find something cheap while youe looking for better or a condo.
Usually get a better deal on a walk in 👍
This really only applies to backpacker or other low cost accommodation. The nice hotels (I stay at Royal Garden) you won't get in without a reservation.
Great info for the newbies Daz! The first story is true with perhaps a small bit of embellishment perhaps, but true none the less...I visited Ubon in a rural village once...seen poverty first hand.
Yes sir! Absolutely watch them cook on the spot. Been here four years, four bouts of food poisoning….😂
very good advice that.I got really bad food poisoning one year and had to go home early.Took me about one month to get over it.I have my suspicions but cannot prove the suspects outright.
Hi Daz. One comment to make about the Bolt service. Whilst I would agree that a Bolt car taxi is generally more desirable than a motorbike one and worth paying the extra amount, the traffic in Pattaya can be horrendous at the best of times. I live in Pratumnak and when I go into Pattaya 2nd and 3rd roads are generally very busy so travelling by car can take a lot longer than a motorbike. I've used the bikes a lot and never had any issues but they wouldn't be for the faint hearted. I take up a slightly forward position for balance and keep my eyes on the road as if I were actually driving so if anything untoward were to happen I'm at least prepared for the worst to a degree!
I've lived here nearly 3 years and been coming to Pattaya for 9 years in total. Based on your comments about the young lady such as poor English, no tattoos, not knowing the area, not asking for any money and not being pushy for drinks, I would say that she is telling the truth but I could be wrong 555.
Good information, thank you!
Another don't is don't go into any Russian bars on walking Street because you will be ripped off
Great advice. They will rip you off big time. And will resort to violence if you can't/don't want to pay. Avoid any Chinese owned places also.
Russians rip you off everywhere. They run most businesses where scamming is easy, like HVAC, Plumbing, ATMs, Used cars, weed shops. Can't trust a Ruskie. Anywhere. Period.
Yeah totally agree on this they might be gorgeous the Russian women in Pattaya but stay away from the bars I went into galaxy on walking street never again
How would you know which is which? I meant bar owner,🥴.
Yup went in with some friends and one beer was 360 😂😂
i wanted to hear another story im glad you did the first one was interesting
great video thanks for the tips
I laughed so hard at this video. I literally printed out an arrival guide for a coworker going on his first visit. A list of apps, line, TF, bolt and grab for food delivery. I made a detailed map with Hotspots and a guide on exchanging money and how much to tip and what 5 or 10 baht coins are used for.. pay toilets and baht bus... I could have just sent him this link. Great job... ill be there on the 24th.
Thanks for info Uncle Colm
You cant believe anything at face value….until you get to know them better 👍🏻
Then u still can't believe ! 🤣😂😅
All the tips were spot on. I wish I knew them the first time I went. Have been away, not by choice, for over 3 yrs. I actually forgot some of those tips. 1st tale...sounds real, but do be kind if not. 2nd tale is sadly not likely, but I do not begrudge the ladies. Understand how it works. Enjoyed the blog and Merry Christmas!!!!
What was the quote? "Remember, bar girls can't eat love"?
oh how I wish I was heading to 'The Windmill' tonight!! ...memories!!!
Haha. Great info! Im staying after February 1, 6-8 months, Home 2 months, come back, etc. was planning to use Key visa, now need an alternative.
Cambodian women are much more matter-of-fact, even to the point of sounding callous, when talking about how tough their childhoods were. One of the few times I've felt pity for a bargirl was when a Cambodian lady asked me for a rough drawing of the front of the hotel I was staying at - she had never learnt to read in any language. Her attitude was no different to the hundreds of people I've met who cant swim : no-one ever taught her and she didn't think it was that important. If it was a ploy, it was a good one - I went downstairs the following morning to find her laughing with the staff as they handed my crude drawing around. I remain impressed - resilient people will do what they have to regardless of the deck stacked against them.
Thank you for starting from the airport.
You're the best pattaya adviser! ❤
Wow, thank you!
haha had a draw full of Breitlings , all kaput
me & the wife were staying in the Labua hotel in Bangkok , we decided to go out for lunch so we flagged a tuc tuc driver & I said do you recommend a good sea food restaurant , he took us to an outdoor place nothing flash plastic chairs , I had king prawns , wife had crab , it was really good food , but the bill came to 7,000 baht , this was 10 years ago
Daz, you are the man sir, this was great. So much excellent , valuable information, thanks for sharing.
and again ……. Hope that this Australian guy of story #2 is a subscriber of this Chanel 😉
Just an update for you.. Sim's available at Bkk in the baggage hall before customs..... Most people have dual sim no need to take out old sim ....And Bkk- Pattaya by Taxi... 1000bht per book including tolls TOMS TAXI SERVICE
Great video daz
Glad you enjoyed
Hi Daz, another excellent report. Another word about exchange rates for the newbies: Don't change your money at the airport at home!! The rates at Suvarnabhumi just outside immigration are far better than what you'll get just before boarding in your home country.
I had baht when I landed and went straight past immigration and a hundred people with a 200 baht bribe
@@Jack-gn4glI'm going to try that 👌
Looking forward to a month-long holiday in Thailand starting next Wednesday!
It's amazing most stores and restaurants have English words in it. Which is good for a foreigner.
At the airport, if you go down to the 'Airport Link' train level, there are some currency exchanges there that have decent rates. Maybe not quite as good as the best in Pattaya or Bangkok but pretty close. It's the ones on the other levels that are generally poor rates.
If you're not going straight to Pattaya and you're staying in Bangkok for a night or few, the Airport Link Train is really good, easy to use and cheap. Depending where you're going and the time of day, it's often much quicker than a taxi, although you may need a taxi to finish the journey.
We were planning on unsung the train next time! Traffic is awful in Bangkok.
you may also want to include, when it comes to exchanging currency...you get a better rate with larger denominations...for example when you change a 100$ U.S. bill..the rate is slightly better than if you change a twenty dollar bill
mr jack sells good fake watches bought mine in 2017 its still working
Daz you can use WIFI calling on home phone to talk to family no charge no roaming and cheap thai phone for thailand. Also Google FI is option at least until you get set up they do charge a little extra good for short trip.
Much better to go to the money kiosk on the very lowest floor by train station..almost street price exchange rates.
... and the goldshops that do exchange always have better rates than Mr. Rich
Super rich money exchange at the Bangkok airport near the metro station.
Great stuff as always Daz! I never exchange anything at airport, all the taxis I've taken have excepted USD and the 1st thing in Pattaya is walk to TT exchange. Unfortunately, the story is most likely a scam. Sure, it could be true, but all the stories sound awesome. But if we call BS we will be correct 95% of time. Thanks for Bolt advise, I'll be back in Pattaya in 2 weeks
Beauteousness is enough to catch somebody's eye , to stay in memory it needs a good character !
Thank you so so so much for another good one Daddy Daz !!!!!!!
Looking forward to your next video, curious what type of research you’re up to 😉 Like Button ✅
Pricing research ONLY, I'm sure !!!
Been to Pattaya twice. Flew from China via Hong Kong. Just took a cab directly to street number 3, easy to find a hotel. Only problem there are too many bars.
Thanks Daz for this video. I only left Pattaya last week so it was a bit nostalgic seeing places I’ve been like that VIP Massage.
I was glad when you even turned your camera towards VIP massage and I decided to zoom in to see if the lady I picked was sitting outside.
She wasn’t in the video.
Please Daz can you explain the significance of tattoos on a Thai lady?
What it means and the likely implications etc?
I’ve done the journey from the airport to Pattaya on 3 occasions. It’s never taken more than 2 hours.
If you have dual sim/e-sim phone get an e-sim from your home country and physical sim from Thailand. Then you can use apps like what’s app to talk and message aboard while using the the Thai Sim 3/4G
Excellent info and do appreciate the comments on your video which are constructive and non-critical. Well done Baz !
New girl could easily be telling truth and be learning quickly as the girl's do talk. I've met a few newbies and it's amazing to see transition.
Speak Thai to them, and you not long get the cold shoulder from them😱
Daz, If you do anything for anyone especially one that has a story, the last thing you do is freely hand out $. You have to have some type of control of the situation. If she resists? then you know you're getting scammed.
Wow I haven't heard those two stories before.
1) Exchanging money. Whether at the airport or anywhere else, just use your ATM card and don't select Dynamic Currency Conversion. You'll get a good rate.
2) Rather than a taxi or bus, I usually grab a car from the limo kiosk just as you're exiting Customs. Double the price, but for around $60USD you get a nice, comfortable air conditioned fairly new car in good shape.
Quality effort Daz. See you in March!
👍 Thanks!
Love your stories!!
Some spot on advice here, definitely bring some cash from home (eg, UK pounds) and change the minimum amount you need at the airport - rates are well below what you will get anywhere else but still better than the UK.
For mobile phones, I would highly recommend some Xiaomi phones as they have dual SIM and the phones are unlocked. You can change SIM within the phone settings and dont need to restart it.
If you bring your phone from the UK then my advice would be turn on airplane mode and THEN TURN ON Wifi - your phone is essentially then like a tablet. You can use it to connect to Wifi, send emails, WhatsApp etc and it wont cost you anything. You can then use a cheap phone with a Thai SIM for calls etc.
Good you look after yourself and stay fit, the amount of overweight guys in the video is awful...
The best exchange rate is from Superrich at the airport but not easy to find near the train station at the lowest floor
Thanks for sharing once again value info and stories. As for the first story, i believe this happens, and this is true in some cases, all girls come to Pattaya for the first time, once...so maybe you "caught" one on her first days. Maybe you see her again in a few weeks or months and see how things change. So, by then, you'll know it was her true first contact. if she is still telling the same story after a few months...maybe it is something different :-)
Another great vlog. New sub here. On the fe first story, I can't say. I would have had to been there. Otherwise I am just basing my opinion after your's. The 2nd story you left us hanging or wasn't much of a story. But please keep them coming. You are a wonderful story teller..
Thanks for the sub!
Cheers Daz. I thought you were going to tell the Sick Buffalo story . They still try it on nowdays.👍
Hav'nt heard that one for about 10 years 🤣😂
BTW, love your channel and tips. Regarding to first story, you made it thru life this far with your experience. Therefore, you picked up on some clues: no tattoos on the NEW RIPE 20y/o and more settle clues. Little girl is speaking the truth. For me, no free ride, meaning she must go thru my school of hard knocks. Free training and pointers.
Great video. E Sims are very convenient can download before arriving in Thailand and pay with credit card. Dtac simple to use. Pixel phone is ideal not as expensive as I phone but can download an app to do the same. Thai ladies are so adorable I believe everything they say not 555
More insight needed for Thai friendly and tinder
I have already booked a 4 week vacation, 2 weeks in Pattaya and 2 in Bangkok. Yes I am aware its a bit overkill however I do plan on doing a lot of nothing as well, meaning sitting at a pool or beach and contemplating life or drinking a beer people watching. I also Plan on possibly buying some condos for a quick turn around Airbnbs if you have suggestions on real estate or property managers that would be great. But nevertheless whenever I listen to you I think, the Great Michael Caine has retired and lives in Pattaya now and offering great advice and stories. Since I dont know your face, ill stick with you are Michael Caine retired and working for us as a guide lol
Yeah that's beyond overkill. Why not explore many other locations in Thailand? So many things to see all over the country. Pattaya will get boring after 2 to 3 days. Lackluster beaches compared to many other locations. Sitting at the pool all day will get old fast too.
Merry Christmas and happy new year from Clive in the Philippines
Same to you!
No matter where I travel , I always find where the people that serve the tourists eat when they are off duty... better , cheaper.... especially Thailand with their world famous cuisine !
Daz, your tip on fresh BBQ food is very important. I would say bring a small box of diarrhea tablets like imodium, as either you will get a bug or an upset stomach. If you want or need a 'blue pill', bring your own supply with you, as those sold locally are often fake. Learn some basic Thai words like hello, thank you, 'how much' etc. If a girl says 'you handsome man', be relieved that someone has finally recognised your good looks. It is then you realise why you came here! However, also be aware, if a pretty Thai girl will 'go' with you... It is NOT love. It is business......One last tip. Watch Daz's videos for newbies. Daz knows his onions!
Yep......but what if she's different ? 🤣😂😅
I got diarrhoea from eating a few kebab sticks from a street seller and yes I didn’t follow daz tip (although this was way before watching the video) it’s a good tip, only eat when u see if freshly cooked, but tbh I won’t eat from one again.
@@Gaztravels l got it the opposite way , seafood buffet in a nice hotel had the trots for 3 days.....never had a problem with street vendors Gaz 👍
i been here 10 days almost like the old days . Shame so many places closed down but new places opened up
I was there in October, plenty there.... superb !
My xyl is a wps and she is very truthful & to be trusted and some
I dont just say that because she is my xyl
An untimely deceased father and brother are in prison. Well, this is just an Isan classic, only a sick buffalo is missing.
I find so funny that when waking around, fellow tourists give you the STINK EYE, meaning you’re their competition and will try to out alpha you.
I remember old days when I use have travel check from the UK banks going to Thailand , just carry cash for top up sin card taxi or bus maybe few beers in Pattaya on 1st day
Yes, I'm going to get £50 worth tomorrow, the rest in Thailand.
Thankyou for your valuable videos Sir 😎
How do you know for sure that she really has ANY tattoos ANYWHERE? Have you looked everywhere? I would be very skeptical of her story, similar things, to a lesser extent, were told to me by ladies who all just wanted my best too. My money.
Great advice Daz, recommend getting any vaccines? Yellow fever etc?
Not for Pattaya !!!
Great video, Daz. Love your perspective! 😀.
As regards your Ubon girl, how come she can speak any engrish if she's been in the sticks all her life? They get taught very basic engrish at school from age 13 to 16, but this Oscar nominee left school before that, aged 12.... I know you can speak basic Thai, but not enough to communicate with this wee actress if she had just come from the fields (laundry) to Pattaya. Also re tattoos, that's a very personal choice. I've met plenty Pattaya bar girls with bodies unblemished by tramp stamps so it doesn't necessarily mean that she's not a "seasoned" bar girl. (Last week I met a lovely hostess who's back was so embellished, it took so long to read them all, I lost my stroke!) 😀 .... so age 20 at the Ubon bar in 2020? She's 22 now? Give her a couple more interviews 🙏😍😎
Truth!
This guy's video's should be the in-flight movies, they will pay off dividends.
Ha Ha Ha
Only place I got food poisoning was in a well known Bricks and Mortar run English place .
Be there in 6 weeks. I kinda believe the first girl since you gave the details. Cheers
At 1min 2seconds. Food place on the right. Is that closed now? The food was excellent there.
Looks ace here. My kinda town. What is the currency conversion today for gbp to baht? 2023
Xtra Very informativ and interesting video , tnx alot.
- many were driving without helmet, is that u can get fine only at checkpoints?
- the streets at the end of the video, what kind of categori are those girls if u anderstand my question?
At the end is a Mixed category shop
first lady... true story because she let you change the subject and didn't push for drinks... Been with a Thia that didn't let me change the subject story about her when we first met
...then try no go Pattaya, until you decide that the story is and absolute lie...even if she change the subject.
Always on point with simple key information but I would say use the ATM while in the airport. Smart travelers deal with a bank with ATM fee reimbursement (you're going to use doing your trip anyway) and you always get better exchange rates. As far as your story, hard to tell, lots of sad coincidences in a row but I would feel bad for her and help a little after a while of seeing a pattern but not in constant support. I get that Pattaya is easy money with sex but what does a Thai girl need to live comfortably without being a "super butterfly"?
Maybe not be the hit rating video but I wonder? Keep up the good work, Happy Holidays!
hi, with regards to your first story.. when in Thailand I tip generously.. whether hotel staff or waitresses.. its still very little money compared to the west.. am sure I have been "scammed".. but have met some seriously poor people whose lives are slightly better with a few tourist coins.. cheers 🍻
Hey Daz love your new channel, very informative. I was looking for an email to contact you. Im visiting for my 2nd trip to Pattaya on Feb 9 haven't been for 3 years be great to catch ya for a beer or ask for advice how do I get in touch mate Ewan
COPY WATCHES, I’ve had mine from Mr. Jacks at the end of Buakou / Central rd. 5 years old still running spot on. 3000bht.
Cheers Daz, flights seem cheapest in May but is there a downside to then? Very informative posts thanks
Yes, its usually raining.
@@barrydwyer2039 yup, and HOT!
Guy I worked with went every Xmas and May for about 10 years. He never complained about weather in May.
@@SUPPS2GO Maybe because he likes it hot and wet.🤣
@@barrydwyer2039 he’s into the LBs. I don’t think they can do wet? 😂
