Well, like I said last night, I am back. I'm glad to be back, but at the same time, I didn't want to leave. (Even though I really had to.) Anyway, I really didn't get to do too much of the tourist thing while I was there. I only had a few days where I didn't have to work, and the days that I did work averaged in at 10 hour days. But with that being said, I didn't get much sleep. I spent as much of my off time partying as possible. (After all, when am I going to get another chance to go to Thailand, and get paid for it?!) The Place I mostly went to is called Walking Street.
Its called Walking Street because from 7 PM till 2 AM it is completely blocked to vehicles. (Except for the always present scooters.) All down this street (and the adjacent roads and alleys) are Go-go clubs (Very interesting places, if I do say so myself), resteraunts and regular stores.
This is the main tourist area in Pattaya, mostly because of the above mentioned Go-go clubs. In these clubs, women dance up on stage and perform shows. (Either completely nude or, more usually, toppless.) And every girl has a button on them with a number. This number is so that if you see a girl that you're interested in, you can tell one of the servers the number and the girl will come over and talk to you. Her talking to you doesn't have to mean anything more, unless you want it to. If that's the case, then you ask about her bar fine. Basically that's how much it will cost you to be able to take her out of the place and do what ever you want to do. (Not nessisarily to have sex, but that is the usual reason.) Now, before I say more, if the girl doesn't want to go with you, she will tell you no. They have that choice. I saw quite a few tell people no.
Next are the open air bars. These places, usually about ten smaller bars in one big area, are completely staffed by women. These women will call to you, screem at you actually, to get your attention and get you to go to their bar. I'll tell you what, it can be an interesting experience. Its the closest thing to actually being a rock star that I can think of. The girls in the bar will sit there and talk to you (Admittedly to get you to spend more money.) and play games. (Connect-four, checkers, and a dice game called Shutbox are the most common.) They're really simple games, right? Don't expect to win very often (Unless the girl decides to let you.) because you will lose, regularly. The only exception is the shutbox because it relies completly on luck. And, as with most places here, the girls have a bar fine.
The place that I mostly went to is a bar called QT. The bar is owned by a great girl named Sa. We got to be fairly good friends while I was there. She would by me drinks and shots, but unfortunately, I could only get her OJ or cokes because she is pregnent right now. But, I could get her fiancee pretty drunk, and did on a few occasions. There were also a few times that I left Sa's place and the sun was comeing up. Those were rough nights. (Now, I know that you want to ask if I paid any bar fines. The answer would be no.)
And finally we get to the resteraunts, there are some pretty good ones here. And the have every type of food you can think of. I saw Russian, Mexican, Irish, Swiss, Thai (Big DUH on that one.) just about everything. And talk about fresh sea food. You get to pick what you want while its still alive. Doesn't get much fresher than that. Yes, I did have a lot of Thai food. Everyone had told me how spicy it was, and I wanted to find out for myself. I'll tell you right away though, I like spicy food, but it has to have flavor, not just turn my mouth into a cinder. Anyway, I didn't find Thai food to be all that hot. And I was eating stuff that the Thai's themselves were saying was to hot for them, with no problem.
Well, I'll have to continue this after lunch. I'll see ya'll later.
