Coming back to Pattaya after 3 years… has the overall scene changed a lot lately?
My last trip to Pattaya was around 3 years ago and I stayed there for almost 2 months. But unfortunately I met with an accident and had a spine injury which made me to stay at home for 2 years. All that time i only thought about healing soon and coming back to Thailand.
Honestly I had an amazing time and back then I never really felt the prices were too unreasonable for the amount of fun I was having.
Most of the time I either used TF or met girls around Treetown, Soi Buakhao and LK Metro. From what I remember, the usual rates back then were around 500-700 for BF, around 1500 for ST and usually somewhere around 2500-3000 for LT depending on the girl. Even when I went a little crazy on Soi 6 and spent way more than I planned, it still felt manageable overall.
Lately though I’ve been seeing a lot of YouTube videos and comments saying that prices have gone up massively. Some people are saying certain bars now expect you to buy 5-10 LD's before BF, which honestly sounds insane to me. I also saw a comment where a guy said a girl quoted him 1500 BF and 4000 LT at Treetown and he just walked straight out.
I’ll be coming back again this June and staying for around 45 days, so I’m trying to get a realistic idea of what the current situation is before I completely ruin my budget again 😅
For people who have recently been there, what are the normal BF, ST and LT prices these days around Soi Buakhao, Treetown, Myth Night, Soi Honey and LK Metro? Are TF prices still reasonable or have those gone up a lot too? Also, are these crazy LD expectations actually common now or is it mostly just certain bars targeting short-term tourists and “2 week millionaires”?
