34: Thailand Adult Trip (Bars, Night Markets, and an Island)

With our sixth trip back to Thailand, we had a chance to explore
with our friends that were visiting from the US. It was a
fun-filled ten days showing them all that we love about Bangkok,
exploring the island of Koh Samet together, and taking in the
craziness of Pattaya. In this episode, we discuss Muay Thai
fighting, street food, the adult life options, and why Pattaya is
built for the male western traveler. Beaches, beer, and scooters.
Buckle up.

Our friends, Chris and Arlene, joined us for ten
fun-filled days in Thailand. 
If you want more details on Bangkok (this was our 6th trip) check
out Podcast 8: In LOVE with Bangkok (and a Visit to the
Hospital). 
Sukhumvit is our favorite place to stay when in
Bangkok. 
The Patpong Night Market is wild as hell and a ton of fun.
Wat Pho (Temple of Reclining Buddha) is a
must-visit location in Bangkok. 
Scooters are part of the culture and a great way
to see the city and get around. 
Koh Samet has beautiful views, an authentic
vibe, and plenty of beaches to chill on. 
Ao Phrao Beach is the best beach on the island
of Koh Samed and is clean, warm, and clear.  
We have also visited Ko Phi Phi Islands, Thailand
(Incredible Beaches) which are more active than the
quiet Koh Samet vibe. 
Pattaya is an adult playground with plenty of
nightlife options. 
Muay Thai Fighting is a must-see event if you love sports. The
competition is fierce and the rituals are fantastic. We attended
Max Muay Thai for 2,000 baht each. Yes, the
price is steep but it was well worth it. 
Pattaya is different in Patong with the range of bars and size.
We discuss The Insane Nightlife of Patong, Thailand (What
to do in Patong 2018). Both are crazy in their own
way.
