Part 3

Patts is visitor friendly, and accesible. It would not be wrong to say the obvious: economy is wholly tuned to tourists, and with foreigner's money (real estate as in Jomtien). My resident sinkie pal admitted it was near "surreal".

I have been back to Patts since (4X past 2 years). In May 2013, even had a black book FL from BKK to meet me in Swampy and accompany me to Patts for 2 nights. Evens out the need to go on prey nightly.

Had fun with our sinkie resident pal, with another sinkie mutual friend visiting from Bkk. If you are into seafood, the WS restaurants are a rip off (too touristy for my liking). Can do popular Mum Aroi along 3rd road, nice garden setting with mostly asian crowd. There's another at Naklua

Recall we 2 couples + Patts pal finished my McCallan over dinner. Trouble is thais dont know how to enjoy single malt whisky, they dunk every scotch in mixers (blasphemy!). After dinner, we even parked Patts pal's bike in songtaew to go to some hiso club (forgot name in alcoholic daze).

He gave me and Bkk gal a 3some ride on his kapkia. Kns, had fun, as he purposely rode over a road hump (so I got a nice one bump with her back).

Stayed last 2X at boutique hotel Page 10 in soi 10, conveniently between 2nd road and Beach rd. Just 2 doors away to Central Festival. Definitely GF friendly (low season circa 1800). But SeaMe and SeaMe too nearby seems enticing too, with balconies.

Last year I did 3X (not counting Dec but more of that later). Never did the beach thingy (we all know Patts is not known for nice beaches). But I had to meet 2-3 farangs who started their daily beach ritual from 11. They can actually loiter with beers, massages all day long. I got bored after 1 hour, and popped over to Rasputin MP. I wrote FR before, had a matured northern fair lass with very old school treatment (wai you before the deed).

Also did a good seafood restaurant Preecha after Jomtien. Frequented mainly by locals, great and fresh seafood and positive Tripadvisor reviews

Also did a ter huang kiam chye shop for brekkie, with very aroi kow tom (forgot name) off Klang area

Between April and June last year, I was back 2X. 1st was undeclared below radar trip (before visiting my new squeeze in Thonburi Bkk). 2 nights of fun, met soi6 and my 2 cronies in ex Kawai bar and GF. Had a noob from 1 Soi 6 bar, who even did not know how to take baht bus back to soi 6 next morning. Best thing was no mention of LT rate, but I found the going rate. Last night I did atas agg from Soi Buakow (wrote FR before)

I took taxi back to Thonburi, alleging longish taxi ride from Swampy
