Any info on Summit Windmill in Bangkok - and photos of caddies now and in the past?

Their main media is on Facebook.  This club doubles as a tourist hotspot for big groups and weddings events.  The golfing is the main factor, the caddies varies in age but there are some decent lookers.  On hot days they are covered from head to toe, thinking they are about to do a heart transplant.  Nice course, good if you are focusing on the golfing and not the extra hole.

What is the upcharge at 7-Heaven for fs?

That would be between you and the girl.  I've only had gotten their Line and met after work hours but not in the building.  But I could hear people go at it on one of my trips.

7 Heaven if you prefer the quality being the girl instead of the room.  Not to say there are exceptions but the lineup is definitely going to be younger at 7-Heaven since it's a well known place that caters to Asians.

The rooms are nothing special but I've had great experiences every single trip to 7 Heaven.  You can always just pop into MC first and see their lineup and then head to 7 Heaven if you don't see anything you like.  Both places are considered the higher end of pricing but I don't see it breaking any bank for your trip.

Check the Who's Going & Who's Coming section of the forums for November.  Someone out to be in town the same time you are.

 prefer Pattaya? how do you like to spend your time in each?

Bangkok I like to hit up 7th Heaven, soapies and the clubs.
Pattaya I like to hit up Soi 6, the gogobars and the clubs.

For me it's better quality preference in BKK.  Pattaya is a little harder.
Food I prefer the choices in BKK, Pattaya only has a few spots I feel cater to my tastes.

Nice hôtel but i ll never go there again:

its a alcohol free place... you can not ask for a beer at room service, not get a mojitos at the swimingpool bar !!!

really upset...

Oh that's good info for a lot of people.  I don't drink so I would of never known that.  I do stop by at the 7-11 next door and stock up my fridge with beer, red bulls and a bottle of whiskey for my guests.  But I can see why it's not a place for drinking.

It's very cheap to just take a flight to Cambodia or Vietnam, have fun for a few days or 1 night and return.  I did this one my last trip.

BKK November 1st to 5th
Pattayay November 5th to 19th
BKK November 19th to 21st

39, Asian American, staying at Grand Centre Point top of Terminal 21 Asoke.

I enjoy the bed the most at Sofitel, but the prices have gone up juristically and doesn't give me value anymore.  For the same price, you can go literally next door to my go-to hotel, Grand Centre Pointe above Terminal 21, get the grand suite for a lower but similar price.  And the room size is double of the Sofitel.

Need more information to assist you better.  But the above link is probably a good source for general information.

You need to consider letting us know, the budget for a night our, how big a group, how private do you want the experience to be, what is the main goal of the night (socializing, drinking, smoking, taking a girl home, enjoying the girls' company), and how close you want it to be from your current hotel.

This is one of the things I've always wanted to research and look into.  Not much info on the forums about it but it gets asked once in a blue moon.  I first got to experience this in Las Vegas, in the lobby of a big casino hotel.  It was around $130usd for the Vitamin Drip.

The combination of drinking, partying and Bangkok's weather, a IV drip is definitely useful.  Here's my suggestion for BKK.

I'll throw this one in too for Pattaya because the famous AJ gave me the info for this spot.  But I don't know the prices..

I've always had to think of ideas for my friends who brought sand to the beach.  Let's Relax Spa, they have locations almost in every major city.  Set up your wife with the 3-5 hour pampering spa.  Gives you enough time to head to a BJ bar, walk around, try a FS place, head back to the hotel, shower and change, and then go pick her up.  Best thing is, you can change your clothes and say you felt heat exhaustion and took a power nap.  I also like the fact that your wife most likely won't be playing on her phone when she's getting the full spa treatment.

Here's some info coming from someone who plays golf in USA, China and Canada.  Bangkok has the most affordable golf courses, Phuket is on the higher end.  In terms of cost, it's a little on the premium side to gold in Thailand.

Cost break down.

Green fees as a tourist range from 1500 to 4k baht depending on the golf course you visiit.  I'll share the best site to book golfing in Thailand at the very end.  Also golfing in Thailand does require you to have proper golfing attire/dress code.  Be sure to ask where you do go.

Mandatory fees but I'm just going to average up, and this is per person (most courses 99.99% won't allow sharing)
1.  Club Rentals  1200 baht
2.  Golf Cart 800 baht, per golfer, you can't share a cart with your buddy
3.  Caddies 400-800 baht
4. Caddie Tip 400+
5. Transportation to/from (give 1 hour transportation time before tee time) 1k baht 1 way

Overall, expect to pay close to 200-300usd to golf in Thailand.  Thailand is a mecca for golfers with some of the nicest courses you will ever play on.  The caddies don't usually play for you.  I'm one of the worst golfers in the world, I obviously play for different reasons.  You can play singles, you can book for more people, you can also end up playing with another couple.  Some courses are so busy, you are waiting behind a group of 5+ people.  Some are nice to let you play through, some are not.

Here's the good stuff you all really want to know.

Golfsavers.com is the best place to reserve a course/discounts
Suwan Golf & Country Club near Bangkok is the cheapest/one of the nicest places to golf at
Panya Indra Golf Club has the most beautiful caddies out of the 8 or so golf courses I have been to.  Most caddies can't speak conversational English but they are good with golfing terminology and the design of each hole.  Most will love to encourage you to try out their 19-21st hole bonus course after work.  This place also has night golf which I like because it makes it easier to take the caddies with you to dinner afterwards.

Welcome welcome.  If you guys are coming in January, check out the Barstool banter Section and see if the January 2023 group has started.  Good way to get meet ups happening.  I did that on my last trip and it made the experience more fun.
