It all depends on the person I think, I was paying 1000bt LT and the girls were happy with that, I too never talk about money, Although on this trip a couple have asked me about money, And how much I give...
Like one night about 4am walking down Sansabai, I seen this little stunner looking my direction so I stopped and said hello, Anyway we talked for all of 30seconds and she said to me "You pay me".... I laughed and said yeah, And she said 2000bt and I laughed again, Told her I would give her 1000bt and she just turned away in a strop, So I turned to walk off and her friend turned around and said ok, You give her 1500bt... And I would have because she was hot, Only that she threw a little hissy fit when I said 1000bt and the fact that she was on Sansabai at 4am looking for 2k, I just got the impression she would have been hard work, So I told her no I go home sleep alone... She just gave me a dirty look... And I laughed again

And that was that.....
And another one that I liked and knew her for a while, And was gonna BF her one night until she said to me "You know I am expensive" I just laughed said so am I sweethart

But seriously after she said that to me it just put me right off her, And she couldnt understand why I never took her out after that, Anytime I seen without a BF she would ask me to bring her with me, But after that she didnt appeal to me anymore... Kinda spoiled it for me.....
And the last one was a girl from the Pool hall, Now this one never talked about money with me and was happy just to come with me, And I was gonna just give her the normal 1000bt because I already was paying her BF at 500bt, But a few of the boys (BMs) kept putting into my head that the girls were a little more expensive when you take them out of this place, So I ended up giving her 1500bt, Which she was really happy with when she seen it, I knew then she would have been happy with a 1000bt...
PS: There really is no set rate, I know lots of people who pay very different prices, Some 1000bt, Some 2000bt, Some 3000bt... Its really up 2 you what you want to give... Or if you dont want any problems in the morning about how much you have to give her, Sort it out at the bar, Its really simple...
