I have only ever talked to bg's in Patong (and gone LT with 1 girl only, Darwan is her name), but I must admit, I saw some lovely freelancers and was tempted to pick one up (younger girls, around 18). They can be seen walking around the streets after midnight. They are not bg's going home - they are dressed in street clothes (not in the usual sexy bg outfits) and look younger than the youngest bg. Has anyone got any experience here ? I agree with steven eleven - the bg scene is a bit intimidating and full on ... I get numb to it after a while ... The steet walking freelancers is more like a real girl "pick up" and I saw some real honeys. Yes, It is obviously more dangerous, the girl is untrackable if anything goes wrong ... (like waking up to find her and yr stuff missing - NB: THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ME, I have no experience in freelancers, yet.) I was going to take home a girl working in a road side food stall, 15 mins out of Phuket, who was keen on me, and was young (19 years old) and spoke reasonable english (amazing!) but I chickened out. But I am keen to try some "street" girls next time unless anyone convinces me not to.
