I am a newbie who will be visiting Thailand for the first time end Oct. I have looked at various threads regarding Bangkok vs Pattaya and cannot make my mind up as to which location would be best. I will be in the country for 3 days, so realistically can only do 1 location. I have been with a few LBs outside of Thailand, but have never experienced the crazy nightlife of the country. Sole purpose of trip is explore the LB scene in either BKK or Pattaya, but at the lowest cost possible.
So the question of BKK vs Pattaya...please can someone answer the following questions:
How much would you expect to pay for the barfine and how much for a girl for ST and LT services?
Do LBs prey on newbs...I want to know the scene before visiting, so I can prepare myself to try and blend in, not standing out as a newb. Anyone have any tips?
Is staying in a guest friendly hotel near the area cheaper alternative than using the ST rooms?
I know some of the questions may seem direct, but want to do as much research as possible before booking my hotel.
Thanks
