(thanks to river its a great thread)
Always get girl to leave id card at front desk.
myself i have never been robbed also if taking girls from bars its pretty safe as you know where they work.(keep money etc locked away just in case)
LT is until next day and girls are usally very friendly most dont want to leave until 3pm or later or at all and sometimes have to let them know its time to leave.on "prices its up to you" some talk 1000baht and some BM wont pay more.
That will do for me maybe some other BM will answer also
