I thought only coastal areas are affected ? From what I saw in the news the earthquake originated from Indonesia and the result caused a Tsunami which trashed nearby coastal areas in Thailand and Malaysia as well.

Thaivisitor, hows things at your area? Is it safe for travel?

Been watching closely the pictures being shown on BBC & CNN. They showed damage to Lee Garden Plaza. There were cracks on the buildings exterior walls. There was also debris on the ground. Looks like they have evacuated this building.

Here is my FR from the recent visit to H City. Exchange rate is B$23.70 to S$1.00. Time is Thai time, which is one hour slower than S'pore time.

Day 1:

Arrived at H City Airport by Tiger Airways. Booked transport to Lovely Tours to get voucher for hotel. When I reached there at about 2030 hrs, Lovely Tours is already closed. So went opposite the road to Holiday Tours to get voucher. Take note that if you travel by Tiger Airways, you will not be able to get vouchers from Lovely Tours. Did not do much as it was raining heavily.

Day 2:

Booked a gal from Suriya. Decided to choose an older lady (ie 31 years old). Service is average, not much fun and she is always hinting for tips. Hence, not in the mood.

Day 3:

Nightmare begin. Went to See Kim Yong, Lily KTV. It is a corner KTV and I think the house number is 17. The OKT is Benny who claimed to be a S'pore Brother. Speaks reasonably good English and seem to be familiar with S'pore Streets and a very sweet talker. Introduce a "fresh" stock to me and told me that the service is excellent and will pay me double if the service is poor.

Brought her back. After less than 2 hours of company with me, she wanted to go off to meet her friends. Told her to be back latest by 5 pm. She only returned at close to 6pm. Took her out for expensive dinner and thinking that I could enjoy good time with her after that. After dinner, she said that she needs to meet her friend urgently downstairs. I told her to do it quick. She promised. She returned in half an hours time and said that she needs to leave and will only be back at 11pm or maybe later. I was pissed off, told her that this is not acceptable. Asked her who paid for her booking? Her friend or me? She insisted on leaving. I told her that she need not return.

When I looked for the OKT Benny, he just brushed me aside and asked me to take another girl for ST to test out. He will only charge me B$1200 for 2 hours. I told him off.

Just some info to help newbies who are contemplating getting gals in See Kim Yong Area, please avoid OKT Benny from Lily KTV.

Hopefully, this lesson will be useful to newbies as the FR are generally on taking gals to disco and the good KTV.

I think bros here can learn something from your experience and not to trust any of the OKTs. I will also ensure that I'll not recommend any samsters to Lily KTV too.

Hello Bro! Happy New Year! ( & a wet one at that!)

Thanks for taking the trouble to "take care" of fellow bros in your territory.. It was a pleasure meeting you in HDY and hope to cheong with you really soon..

[fat29]

Bro Thaivisitor,

It was around 10 to 14 Dec 2004. Cannot remember the exact date.

The OKT refuse to tell me the gal's name and ask me to just call her Ah Huay and then later changed his mind to ask me to call her Lee. When I checked with her on her name, she was evasive. So I just address her as puying.

Now that I think about it, it is quite abnormal as booking gals normally have no problem telling people their names.

Yes, after booking her when she comes in, I did have sex with her. It was heavenly as I find her attractive. The OKT Benny from Lily KTV at See Kim Yong is the one that is problem. He is totally untrustworthy.

If bros decide to book gals from him, make sure you don't pay him first and only pay the next day to the working lady. Not sure if this is acceptable as I have always paid upfront and when service is over, I usually give the gals a tip.

Anyway, the next time when I travel to H City, I will contact you for more guidance. Thank you for standing by S'pore Bros.

Anyway, will advise bros against going to Lily KTV.

Looking forward to your next visit.

Meanwhile, stay cool
The system here is "pay first" so you can't book and pay the next day.

Hey bro thai, long time no see, how you doing? Best wishes & a happy new year to u.

I was in Hatyai during the new year weekend. Normally, i would take a lady from one of the farms but that day, saturday, i decided to check out this place opposite Merlin hotel. It is called Cherry Lounge, its business hours is at night. Above it, is the Villa massage, a place where you can get a short time session for 1000baht. Reached this lounge around 10 something at night, after the liverpool-chelsea game. The place was dark and no other customers in there, perhaps i was early. Anyway, sat in and bought some drinks for myself and the two ladies that i called to sit with me. Later, i decide to take one of the ladies back to hotel for the night. Over night booking cost 2000baht. Total costs was about 2600baht. Back at the hotel room, we chit chat and 'Toon' claimed she was from Phatalung. Then, she received SMS, need to pass the apartment keys and will be back in an hour. I waited and waited. It was almost 2am, I went back to the lounge and the place was closed already. Damn! No bonk and i slept alone for the night. Sunday came and i had a long thought on this bitter issue, i decided to let it go and enjoy my last day in this city. Got a lady from Channivate area and she was a happier experience for me.

Well, moral of this experience is to stick to familiar or recommended places.

[fat29]

Yup, now we have two stories. Lily KTV and Cherry Lounge. Bros, pls avoid both places.

I have just been to Cherry Lounge too. I saw the gals there and I think they cannot make it, so decided to give it a miss. According to the papasan, they offer body sexy massage like Pink Lady and it cost B$1,200 now.

You are right that they open till quite late, as I was there at about 11pm and they are still open. It is directly opposite the main hotel lobby of Hatyai Merlin Hotel.

Here a suggestion. Go shopping, eat, touring, massage, spa, live shows and lastly fuck.

Honestly, I dont think the nationality counts, it do take combination of many factors to click like spending power, cheong style, attitude, personality, etc..

There are Sporean who is as romantic as Romeo while some as stingy as bonking and eating all the way in the room. The same applies to any other nationalities.

Whatever it is, if you are out to cheong, just pay and enjoy the day of companionship. You may find a good one sometimes and you may hit with a bad one occasinally. This will just make you appreciate the good one better.

When Say Hi Disco was still operating, these WL from both lounges will be gathering there to hunt for customer. Met one with extremely nice figure but too drunk to take her back.
