Hi All,
For years i've been using this forum as a way to find information and thought it was about time I posted a datasheet for Phuket given how well i know the place.
Getting There
There are many airlines who fly direct into Phuket from Sydney, Melbourne, all over Asia and parts of Middle East and Russia. Otherwise the best bet is to fly in via Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur (be sure to stopover for a few nights in either of those cities as they are both worth it!). Phuket has a new international terminal and i've found that sometimes clearing immigration happens really fast and other times there are long queues so just to be safe try to sit near the front of the place and once you get off the plan head to immigration quickly to beat everyone else on your plane just in case. Also i'd advise to arrange a hotel pick up at the airport as lately i've found taxi fares to be about the same and there can be a long wait.
Where to Stay
-Kata and Kata Noi have lovely beaches and are about 15-20 minutes from Patong.
-Patong itself isn't the greatest place the stay in Phuket, however this is the centre of nightlife so there are logistical advantages of staying here. Last month i stayed at the Avista Hideaway which was only 8 minutes from Patong and worked well.
Bang Tao - lovely beach and nice hotels along there. Catch Beach Club and Dream Beach Club are at either end of the beach. Catch can be alot of fun (check their website for when they have events on).
Bang Tao is full of Russian Tourists. It's incredible to see such beautiful women with old/ugly men. However some of them are single and it's a day game paradise there in the resorts and along the beach. There are loads of russian girls along bang tao beach by themselves or with a girlfriend. Also try Xana Beach Club for day game. Get a daybed by the pool and chat to the russian, french girls there. Only issue with staying in Bang Tao is that it's about 30-35 minutes from Patong which is a bit far when you're pulling a bird back to your place but in saying that it's never stopped anyone coming back.
Kamala - i'd avoid the Kamala area. very down market.
Girls
You're going to come across tourists from all over the world here. Mostly you'll see Russians, French, British, American, Australian, Asian, German and French Arab (moroccan, Algerian etc).
Forget the french arabs. The easiest to pick up will be the Australians, Germans and Russians. With the Russians you just need to know how to game them. If you like Russians then i recommend going from early December until end of March. This also coincides with the best weather (sunny pretty much every day)
As far as the local girls go, it's a combination of freelancers and hotel workers. There are plenty of Thai girls in Phuket who are well employed and not freelancers and it's very possible to pull these girls either by day game or out at a nightclub or bar.
Nightlife
i'm sure some will disagree on here, but i find BangLa Road in Patong to be paradise for anyone who likes to party and game. From about 9pm onwards the street is pumping and all you have to do is ignore the ping pong shows and head straight for any of the following clubs from 11pm onwards:
** recently it seems that the clubs are being allowed to open much later than previously. they used to close them at 2am but now this is definitely not the case..
1. Illuzion: This is like a super club. it's huge. A very mixed crowd, a really melting pot of tourists from all around the world and a large contingent of normal Thai girls and working girls. The working girls will generally hang around the sides of the dancefloor and the normal girls will be on the dancefloor generally with a group of friends. The VIP area requires you to purchase a bottle but is in a good spot and gives opportunity to open with alot of girls. Music varies from commercial house to deep house. It usually closes around 4am-5am and almost always they open the doors upstairs to an afterparty which goes on until 6am or 7am. I've been to Illuzion a few times and picked up one ONS with a Thai girl and a few kisses from Thai and British girls and a few phone numbers. A mate of mine kissed the hottest chinese girls i've ever seen in here and she did all the approaching too. At the after party i've manages to kiss a Thai girl on holidays from Bangkok (7) and a british tourist who was no better than a 5.5 but i was quite drunk and she seemed better at the time but i will admit to blowing her off for a Thai Girl who i took home but was too drunk to remember if i had to pay or not.. what i do know is that if i did pay it she was worth every cent. (i'm not the P4P type but i can't rule it out on that occasion)
2. Seduction: A few years ago i would have said this was the best club i've ever been to. Without fail it would deliver. Had the best vide. One night i kissed 7 girls in there and there were countless ONS's with Russian, Thai and Australian girls. However there was a fire and it closed down and then reopened with a whole different layout which really stuffed it up. As a result it was nowhere near as busy and now they seem to have targeted a different crowd and it's filling up again. The last two times i've been there it's been busy but more groups standing around tables and has lost it's free love vibe. The crowd seems to be much more african and also arab these days, with music generally more R&B and hip hop so that may suit some people more than others as far as gaming goes.
3. White Room: A little bit more difficult to find (just ask around) but it's currently the best club IMO. Lots of western tourists in here (mostly German, Scandinavian, Australian, British, American, Asian) and both normal and freelancer local girls too. Good music in here and a friendly crowd. Recently we've been starting our nights here just after 11pm and use Illuzion as a back up around 2am if White Room isn't delivering. Have kissed a few westerners (a 6 and a 6.5) and also a Thai non-pro (7.5-8) but no ONS yet from here.
There are a few other bars along bang la road that you'll see as you walk along, mostly with live music playing (combination of western pop and thai songs) and these places will be filled with about 75% Thai and 25% westerners. i've always found the lure of the other clubs too great to stick these places out but my impression is that it's not as easy to pick up and the quality is lower.
Catch Beach Club (Bang Tao). About 35 minutes from Patong is this luxurious beach club which is semi busy on most nights during peak season but is really pumping on certain nights when they have designated beach parties during peak season especially. Check their website for details. This is more of a high end place so expect to drop some cash here. The crowd is mostly Russian Tourists but you'll also find alot of expats here from Russia/Australia/Europe and tourists from elsewhere. We even encountered some Thai freelancers but it took us a while to work out that they were working girls. The last party i went to there in April picked up an 8 from Kazakhstan (half russian, half asian looking). In january there were significantly more Russian girls there than in April. The Russian girls were very approachable. If you're wanting Thai girls i probably wouldn't go here and would stick to Patong.
Another tip - Songkran is Thai New Year and the Thai really get into the spirit of it. It was Songkran on my first night there in April and i went to BangLa Road with a friend. By the time we got inside White Room we were completely soaked (make sure you wear clothes you are happy to get really wet if going out on Songkran as everyone will spray you with serious amounts of water whether you like it or not). What we found was that lots of normal Thai girls go out on Songkran so it's a great opportunity to pick up Thai Girls who work in the local hotels or other businesses. I picked up a Thai girl (7.5 or 8) in marketing at a local 5 star hotel who i continued to see for a few days after and hope to see again next time i go back. she wouldn't ordinarily go clubbing in Bang La road but was out celebrating Songkran with her friends.
Whilst this is not always the case, generally the good Thai Girls wont go home with you for a ONS. They will make you work for it over several dates. These girls are caring, sensible, fun and witty and it can be really fun communicating with them (the ones with decent english) over whattsapp and catching up for dates so i don't find it a chore to play the game for a while with these girls.
I highly recommend Phuket as a holiday destination for anyone looking for great weather, great food, great people and a pumping nightlife 7 days a week. it's quite easy to move from club to club along BangLa road so don't be afraid to leave where you are if it's going stale and head somewhere else (and then head back to the first place later on), even if it's 2am or later.
i hope this is of some help. i'd be more than happy to answer any specific questions that any of you have
