First of all, try relaxing and having a good time, you're going on holidays not a covert mision behind enemy lines.

I think you'd be better off just taking half the bollocks you must have read on forums with a pinch of salt, looking at some of the other boards I'd be suprised if half the posters had left their houses before let alone travelled to another country. Just enjoy your holiday.

hi Tim i was lucky enough to go with a mate first trip but have been on my own several times you'll be fine as gonzo said in the last post just relax and try and enjoy yourself a smile goes a long way in a strange place, everyone here loves whoring drinking ect so your in the right place, i always think if you wouldn't do it at home don't do it on holiday and you'll be ok the only don'ts i have are take lady boys, once your in patters just ask people in your hotel/ bars about things and most people will be happy to give their advice and what you do with it is your choice have a good trip mate

1. Don't keep bar tabs

3. Avoid political demonstrations
4. Don't accept drinks from anyone
5. Always have 2 wallets
6. Don't buy anything in the airport duty free area
7. Don't rent a jet ski or anything for that matter
8. Don't enter a taxi unless it has a meter
9. Don't raise your voice
10. Lie about your identity if possible
11. First night in a new place is a test night
12. Bargain hard
13. Don't be sympathetic to anyones cause
14. If anyone asks if you have been to Thailand before say yes
Good plan. Problem is when you get a few beers down and a bunch of TGs all over you like a rash they will all go pissing out of the window. If not one by one then as a bunch.

I must have been in about 35 different "taxis". Around 30 never had a meter and of the few that did it was'nt turned on. The fare was quoted or negotiated before setting off. Never had a problem.

LOL!!. The birds will tell by the look on your face and body language that its your first trip. They will slaughter you, in the nicest possible way!! Just lie back and enjoy it. Its only ever the first time once, unfortunately.

IMO your trying to apply Western logic to potential scenarios you may encounter in Thailand. One of the many reasons I like Pattaya is that you never really know for sure what will happen next. So you cant really plan for anything, just go with the flow and see where you end up.

Anyway where are you staying at?

I`d try and be a bit more relaxed about it.
It`s an adult playground, not an assault course.

First couple of times I went(alone)hadn`t read anything
on internet and nothing bad happened to me.

Maybe Don`t get too drunk on your 1st night(assuming you drink)
and Do keep your hotel/guest house business card with you, some fellow in a bar had forgotten the location of where he was staying,
card would of been useful in that instance.

Just enjoy your trip.
