Second Road trip report — what I found

Returned from Pattaya last week. 10 days trip, visited late February 2026.

Arrival and first impressions: Taxi from airport was straightforward. Checked into my hotel near Beach Road.

Day 1-2: Explored the area, got the lay of the land. Prices seemed fair.

Days 3-5: Had some incredible experiences. The Beach Road area was exactly as described on the forum.

Prices: 1000-2500 THB ST, 3000-5000 LT. Pay the asking price — it's fair.

Tips for others: Be respectful and you'll have a great time.

Would I go back? 100% — already saving for the next trip.

This matches my experience. Pattaya is a solid destination.

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

Great report! Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

Thanks for the detailed write-up. Very helpful for planning my upcoming trip.

Excellent write-up. This is why I love this forum — real, actionable information.

Great report! Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were higher.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Did you feel safe using taxis?

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has stayed consistent recently.

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Late night you get the best deals.
