Monday Morning from Pattaya

The discussion opens with lighthearted banter, where the male host playfully teases the female co-host about her appearance and a recent night out, during which she reportedly drank "only 11 beers." The co-host, Kip, clarifies that she works for PR and is too old for dancing due to a heel injury. She then explains the bar fine system in go-go bars, stating that the standard bar fine is 1,500 baht, but she charges 6,000 baht and sometimes gets it, though usually settles for 4,000-5,000 baht. Lady drinks in go-go bars typically cost 200-255 baht, with some places offering them for 195 baht. The host expresses his unwillingness to pay 6,000 baht for a bar fine. The conversation shifts to the co-host's level of drunkenness, with the male host suggesting she was much drunker an hour prior. She claims to have had only seven beers, while he insists it was more, possibly 20-25. They then reminisce about their drinking habits when they first met, with both claiming to drink more than the other. The host notes that tourists on holiday often spend lavishly in Thailand because things are cheaper than back home, leading them to throw money around. The host shares his experience of living in Thailand, mentioning he hasn't been back to the States in five years and plans to visit Chicago in the summer. He discusses his health insurance, TriCare SOS, and how it works for hospital visits. He then recounts a story from an online forum about a man who woke up to find his long-term girlfriend had sleepwalked and urinated on his mattress, then demanded extra money and a ride home. The conversation briefly touches on specific clubs, with the host suggesting 808 for "thick" women, noting it's popular with black and Arab men. He expresses a preference for "party girls" and shares his personal budget for nights out, ranging from 5,000 baht for just the club to 15,000 baht for a combination of go-go bars and clubs. He also mentions that Bangkok is significantly more expensive than Pattaya. The best way to travel from Bangkok airport to Pattaya is by bus, costing around 140-150 baht, compared to a taxi which can cost up to 1,500 baht. The host shares his long-standing plan to retire in Thailand, dating back 25-26 years to an MWR trip to Chiang Mai while in the army. He was 21 when he first experienced the lady bars and witnessed a 70-year-old Frenchman with two girlfriends (ages 40 and 26/27) taking them to a lady bar to find a third girl to play with. This experience solidified his decision to retire in Thailand. He lists some of his favorite places: IBAR and Insomnia for nightclubs; Voodoo, Juicy Lucy, Sin Club, and The Factory on Bonut 8 for gentleman's clubs; and Purple and 007 for BJ Bars. For Soi 6, he likes any bar with cute spinners. The co-host then recounts a story about ladyboys fighting and robbing customers, advising caution. The host adds that he's seen recent news about men being drugged and robbed by women they met on Beach Road. He advises against wearing gold jewelry to avoid theft, citing a personal experience. The host explains his strategy for finding long-term companions: he rarely bar fines women, especially on Soi 6, due to the five or ten-drink minimums. Instead, he goes to gentleman's clubs or Soi 6 for short-time encounters, then heads to a club to find someone for a "long time." He often invites women he meets at bars to join him at the club later, avoiding bar fines. He notes that many women on Soi 6 live in cramped conditions in the bars, making a comfortable bed a strong incentive to stay with a customer. He reveals that his YouTube channel gets demonetized every six to nine months due to content, causing him to wait three months for re-monetization. The host then attempts to recount their Saturday activities. They went to a mall where Suan bought three pairs of shoes. They also visited a bakery called Continental Bakery, where they enjoyed omelets and caramel macchiatos. Later, they bought matching red and black dresses for the women. After relaxing and massages, they met up with friends, including Brian, Andy Fox, and Charlie, at Bron's Pizza, then moved to Bibong for drinks. The host mentions smoking hash and being "blitzed" during the pizza dinner. During their time at Bibong, Kip showed interest in Andy Fox, and the host jokingly implies she tried to ditch him and Suan to go with Andy. They then moved to IBAR, where they danced and drank heavily. Andy, Charlie, and Brian bought multiple bottles of alcohol. The host recalls seeing a "cutie" at IBAR but doesn't remember talking to her, only later finding out from Suan that she had a video of him doing so. He also mentions his friend Tommy eating two and a half burgers and all his fries that night. The host clarifies that he is not married, as his wife passed away 13 weeks prior, and the women he is with are his friends. He then discusses Tommy's voracious appetite at IBAR, where he ate two and a half burgers and all the fries, even after his girlfriend claimed not to be hungry. He advises that the "best looking girls" in the city, especially freelancers, don't typically appear until 2 AM in clubs, or 6 PM on Soi 6. He believes going out during the day only yields average or below-average looking women. The host also shares his educational background, having just completed a bachelor's in science in digital cinematography and now pursuing a master's in arts in new media journalism. He considers himself a filmmaker and plans to continue making films as he pleases in retirement. He encourages viewers to like the video and support their channel through Patreon, Cash App, or PayPal, as his channel is currently demonetized. He also invites viewers to join their Discord server for updates on his outings. He addresses questions about dating older women, confirming that Candy Club and Bamboo Bar are popular with older crowds, where women can be found for as little as 500 baht. However, Kip insists she's not that old and charges 4,000-5,000 baht. Regarding cannabis use, he explains that while smoking weed everywhere is possible in some areas, he is more discreet in Udon and Bangkok, smoking mostly at home or in parking lots. He also provides information about dining costs: expensive Western food can be 1,000 baht per person, while a burger or Italian meal is 300-500 baht. Thai food ranges from 50 to 150 baht per person. Hungry Hippo is recommended for Western, Thai, and Indian food, and Bacon Brew for breakfast. The host outlines his routine: he works out at Sun Fitness early in the morning for 1-1.5 hours, followed by an 8-12 km walk. He tries to party only two days a week and dedicates a third day to relaxing. Every other month or so, he used to send his previous partner to Udon for a week or ten days to party hard alone, but he's been going out alone more recently. He emphasizes finding a personal rhythm and avoiding constant partying to stay healthy, recalling a time when he gained significant weight. He concludes by recommending V Dental Clinic on South Pay Road for dental care, where a cleaning costs around 800 baht. He announces that they will be live again on Wednesday at 11:30 AM Thailand time to discuss an upcoming party.
