Hi london1

Welcome to the forum,

I think if you allow yourself around £100 a day it will more than cover all your food/drink and girls. You will probably have money left over at the end of your trip.
Feb/Mar are perfect months to visit. March/Apr are the hottest.There will be more girls there than you will need
If you have any specific questions,try the search function at the top of the page first.If you can't find the answer,I would post in the "Newbies" section to start as there is no flaming there to anyone asking what may be considered a "dumb" or repeated question.
You have lots to look forward to as a first time visitor

Have also booked for this time with swiss air for 500 euro, from Germany. There are similiar threads, money you need depends on you.

BG is around 200 Baht bf, 1500 Baht lt
GoGO is around 500 Baht bf, 3000 Baht lt
Ring the bell is between 1500-3000 Baht
Beer is around 100 Baht, Ladydrink 100 Baht.
Have a good dinner 350-1000 Baht.
Make trips about 1000-2000 Baht, if you take the local.

This depends on my own experience in 8/05 in Patong.

Maybe we will see us, i hope

this is far to much money to be spending as you are only 20 yrs old if you got the money then it's up to you but i think that this is more of a sensible amount to spend------
hotel 500-1000 a night
short time 500-700 baht
BG is around 200 Baht bf, 1000 Baht longtime
GOGO girl is around 500 Baht bf, 1000 Baht longtime
Ring the bell depends on how many ppl are at the bar 100 baht times x amount of ppl
Beer is between 70-100 bhat pending on what bar
Have a good dinner from 20 baht pending on what you wanna eat
Make trips, well depends on who is haggling

i still agree with the other BM's that £100 a day is a good amount to go with i always try to aim for this and most the time i have some left over but there is no point paying over the odds as this bumps up the price for people in the future.

Thumbs up Why fly thai?

Add to your "good heart budget" by sorting a cheaper flight

Feb flights with Malaysian to Phuket (same flight time as Thai) were recently and maybe still available at just under £500. That gives a few more treats to be taken where it really counts.

£100 a day will go a long long way!!

i'm not having a go at all. just simply giving advice to ppl that might not have to much money, letting them know that you can spend alot less then the impression you were giving. maybe you've seen more than me but i think 6 trips to los qualifies me to give a opinion and advice, i'm only giving out facts, i don't just make things up to pi$$ you off.

Having A Good Time

I think we can all agree that you can have a "good time" in Thailand on very little money. When I was in the North I spent about $10 a day. It was fun and easy. But...

Patong is Patong. It is a bit like saying "How much money do I need to go to America?" and "How much money will I spend in Disneyland?". As the Thai people say "up 2 U".

My own experience is that 7000 Baht (£100) is sufficent for a great time if you don't go mad. If you do then you will need a lot more!!!

But having said that I am sure it is possible to go to Patong and not spend much money. I just have not ever quite succeeded...

What gogobar? 1000 baht LT is way to low. Rock Hard asks 3-4000 for LT.

Yeah I would say most gogo girls I know are looking for 1500 - 2000 in general..

Of course they ask more (hell a sharkies bird started at 3k the other nigth and it was late in Safari !!!) but 1500 seems like a current gogo minimum unless she is a minger..

Geeez!! 4,000 baht is a mighty amount compared to what a bg askes for which I understanding to be around 1,000 baht.. Are the gogo girls that much more aggresive and unabashed when it comes to give a price for LT???

If so I'll stick strictly to sweet bgs...

Unless this is more a personality thing not depending on where they work (beer bar or gogo bar)

Well I think you will find that the 'stunners' of the bar world will also be looking for 1500 - 2k LT....

Try and ask Mai from Bunny bar for a 1000 baht LT (she asked for 5k from my buddy but it was early evening and she didnt want to leave the bar... Old trick).. The girl I mention above was from Sharkies bar (a beer bar) and was asking 3k in Safari at 4 or later in the morning.. Sure lots of girls will go for 1000 and also many the money will not be discussed but the best of the best are not 1k LT the first night IMHO.. Also 'asks' and 'gets' is totally another matter.. They are trying it on to see how much you know and what your likje at spending dosh..

Of course if you are with the same girl for a few nights then it nearly always is down to that kind of rate... itsd also how you play it.. You chase them the rates up, you let them show interest in you and chase you and the rate drops.. Standard psychology in any type of deal the world over..

Thanks man, great info. I think I'll go for the "let them do the chase" I think it'll work fine judging from the way I was treated the first time I was there eventhou I had company And to me, women or girls that behave as if they're queens of the world is a major turn off, which means I wouldn't go with such even for free...

A sweet woman wearing the "right" outfit, being sweet and pleasent to be with is what it would take to make me tick. Then I wouldn't mind at all in going with her and giving her 1,5 or 2 K even if she's fine with a grand.

I think I know the girl you mentioned... If I'm not mistaken her pic is in this forum and I had in mind asking if she's "taken" however since you mention she's asking such rates it's a major noway and she's off my list...

And I have in mind changing girl every night or at least everynight someone ask me to barfine her, otherwise I guess I'll stick to the massage places

Thanks again for the info! BTW is this the girl that wants 5,000?

Damn! 4k-5k LT? I had a threesome for 3k with really top foxes from superbaby.

And 1k for two other LT . and a hottie in a undercover 6am gogo in bangkok asked me for 1500 LT and i though "rip off alert"

And each times i was drunk and totally lacking in the negociating/cheap charlying department.

Remember me not to go to phuket. girls are cheaper in europe ( hum... no ).

5k girls should stick to japanese people.

Thats because you Velly handsum young man

PS: My mate is the same, Pays every girl 1000bt even if she is from an Ago-go, I would pay them 1500bt but like you I never talk about money. So I probably would get away with 1000bt but if they did say something I would feel like a right ****, So the extra 500bt does not bother me.

Talking Pattaya (probably the cheapest in Thailand) versus Phuket is not apples to apples..

Pattaya especially with its large scale gogo scene is much cheaper.. Drinks, girls, food, accomodation, etc..

When were you last here.. I would think that the last 12 - 18 months have seen a noticable price rise.. I was always 1k per night for months 18 months ago... Much more being definate about higher prices and stating an amount before going in my experience..

Of course FL's in discos are much less likely to raise the subject than beer bar girls and in turn less so than gogo girls.. Due to me having a LT girl at home maybe its the fact I am picking up gogo girls more often for the descresion they give than beer bar girls who can try to cause your relationship hassles..
