Don't let people scare you with stories. If you collected Vancouver Sun stories for a year, nobody would dare go to Surrey. You'll be just fine.Thanks for the head up. I guess I will just try the regular stuff that everybody does. Since I am going to Thailand, I will try the Spas, clubs and some GOGO bars? That should be safe and most likely STI's free, right? I heard the professionals are exam-ed regularly?
However, I do wonder if I should try some luck in those bars, clubs as many say chicks down there are quite easily picked-up..... All those drug and internal organ shits just made me feel scared of doing so....sigh
That said, don't let 'health checks' fool you. The girls can buy a certificate on the street for next to nothing. Devil's Den in Pattaya actually enforces real checks with the local hospital and posts the certs on their website, so that's more trustworthy. Infection rates are low though. Bag up - you'll be fine.
As far as where to go, if your only intention is mongering, get off the plane and head straight to Pattaya. Coaches are easy to find at the airport, are inexpensive and frequent. I stayed at the Pattaya Bay Resort, and enjoyed my stay. http://www.pattayabayresort.com/index.php/en/. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to the action and there are closer hotels, but this one comes with a rooftop pool, good food, and was recommended to me.
The other big red-light area of Pattaya is Soi 6, so you might want to look for a hotel around there.
If you want to combine some tourism with your mongering, spend a day or two in Bangkok. Mongering prices are about twice what you'll pay in Pattaya, but you can take a boat ride up the river and look at ancient temples. The Reclining Buddha is a must see.
I stayed at http://www.on8bangkok.com/en/ Very clean and inexpensive and close to Nana, Cowboy and the skytrain. My room had no windows though. Both hotels very girl-friendly.
As far as light skin - Thai girls suffer from the same Asian affliction that you do and value aspirin white skin. My barfine and I spent the afternoon splashing around in the pool, and she was absolutely horrified when we got back to the room and she noticed she had developed tan lines. Thailand has a mixture of skin types, so there is something for everyone. I love honey-bronze skin colour and find it incredibly erotic and beautiful, so to each his own.
As far as pickup bars, go to Insomnia in Pattaya after the Gogo bars close down. All the bargirls tend to head there after their shift is over, and you can easily find a bedwarmer without having to pay a barfine. The girls usually have discount cards, so be sure to use them as drinks are expensive (i.e. Vancouver prices).
Enjoy! Your biggest risk is falling in love with a bargirl. Many more mongerers catch that disease than any STI, and it is usually far more harmful.
