I looked up the Penthouse Motel and found this website:
http://www.thailandredcat.com that has a trove of information. Looks like I’ll have to fit this trip into my schedule!
Didn’t spend much time on it. But it seemed Ok to me. The dude’s making money somehow, so I’d avoid shill recommendations. But in general, his take seems to be heavily biased towards P4P in locales off the beaten trail for most P4P fans. iMO, in those spots, frequent the tourist spots in addition to the obvious hotspots.
For simplicity, put yourself up for 3 or 4 days (or more) in Pattaya, then decide from there. The nice thing is that it’s better to book once your in the country for most popular spots in Thailand. Find a travel shop (on every street) and decide once you get to Pattaya what you want to do next.
More P4P? Nana in Bangkok (or SoI Cowboy), or Phuket. But no matter where you go, it’s available. Want a cultural trip? Chiang Mai. Want to learn how to dive? koh tao. Party like you’re 19 again? koh Phagnon. Everything in-between, koh Samui.
Phuket and those islands are spectacular and catch all.
His Koh Tao take might been accurate for him, but it’s a sure sign his kind of game absolutely requires a partner willing to accept money for his ‘assets.’ I’ve never bothered with the P4P scene there, because thoughts of the backpackers that shared my AC in some occasions still outrank the vast majority of my all-time SP experiences.
I met 2 of my last 6 long-term girlfriends on that jewel of an island, including my current gf. All were “backpackers” that he seems to find fat or generally not worth his time. I assure you, “fat” wouldn’t be the common trait I remember these women sharing. “Young” is probably the most common trait. Beyond that, all six are jewels in my little black book.
But I’m a diver, so maybe it’s easier for me.
Here’s the URL for the actual hotel I mentioned:
