pattaya prices high season versus low season
Hello guys! I would like know what your take is one the prize differnce between low season and high season in pattaya. I have only been 3 times to pattaya all of them were during the low season june until august. I usually go once a year for a month or so but i it is really hard to stay away from LOS for a year, therefore I think 2 short intense trips a year would suit me better. I usually only get girls from the beer bars so that is my main question? i like to chill out in go go bars first like shark, beach club, living dolls to name a few than head back to soi 7-8 for some picking. Going rate for girls in beer bars in februari any ideas? june - august 500 short time and 1000 long time seems to be the norm any different in februari you reckon?
thanks for your input

I have not been any later then November (getting near to high season) but from what I have always read on the pattaya forum, the price in beer bars don't change in pattaya. Of course there might be that stunner who wants to play bargaining games but the general impression I get is that they are 500s/t - 1000 l/t

thanks for your quick respond. Probably november and februari is pretty much the same i suppose so prizes in beer bars seems really good i reckon. This summer i stayed 5 weeks in pattaya, whcih was to long for sure 2 trips a year 2-3 weeks is better i think?

Hi,
June - Sept is usually very quiet in Pattaya compared to February to April. On top of the hotels charging higher prices in February due to higher demand for bookings I have found that the girls ask for a few hundred baht extra compared to the quieter period of June - Sept. Drinks prices however seem to remain the same BFblonde says but in the more popular go-gos you wont get a seat as easy as later in the year. C66*

Agree with Mr.BFB there .. but of cos´they will always try to make some x-tra bath if they can Go Go girls are more tricky during high season .. but on the other hand there are both more customers AND girls during high season so there are always Go Go Girls you can pick for the usual 1000b ST- 2000b LT On my last trip i started to wonder if the Go Go girls are really worth the double price compared to BG´s .. i know many many velly velly plitty Bg´s and some of them fukc like rabbits´  I used to have 2 Go Go Chicks as favorite´s and they use to damage my valet pretty good ... of cos´this last trip none of them where there (Sept. Low Season) so what did i do .. did i stay happy with the BGs´? Hell no .. i found a little Isaan Sweetie in a Go Go on Beach Rd. that i can´t let out of my mind , i will run and look for her first thing 2 of February , be sure of that  555

i disagree it don't matter if it high or low season when it comes to girls, ok hotels might change a little. over the last few years i've been in feb, april, may, august, x-mas & new year and the price i have always payed is 500ST 1000LT this high season sh*t is just an excuse to get more £$ out of you.

So..you have always paid 500 st & 1000 lt no matter what the season but at the same time you disagree that ''it don't matter about it being high or low season'' affecting girl prices ? How confusing is that ?

Oh I C, could not work out which side of the fence you were on from the wording, but thanks for clearing that up. As for higher prices in high season, although you may not agree with it, there is a reason they do it, maximise profit while the going is good in preperation for the low season hibernation period. Like it or not, it's something you will have to get used to if you want to continue to return in DEC/JAN time. And from what I keep hearing, 1k beer bar l/t is the standard in pattaya, but BKK and phuket are a different ball game.

I see what your saying about supply and demand in relation to prices but Ive visited Phuket and Pattaya every year now in High season (Nov to March) and during part of the low season (April - June) for the past few years and each time I have noticed either no difference or very little difference in the numer of tourists/girls. Last year there were more tourists in April/May than in Jan/Feb (probably tsunami related). For the past few years April/May/June have certainly not appeared like a hibernation period to me. Adding on to this my opinion is that the hotels in particular artificially create high and low seasons to maximise revenue. The only time I can see higher rates been justified is during the xmas/new year period when there is an obvious change in tourists arriving into Thailand. Apart from this time of the year I think that hotels just follow what the majority of BKK hotels do which is to smooth out their room rate pricing tiers. Additionally I have never experienced girls charging higher LT or ST depending on high/low seasons but have experienced this in both Pattaya and Phuket.

Your either joking, insane or not observant.. Town probably doubles at high season and maybe more over the Dec 22 - Jan 2 period.. Prices rise.. Thats for Girls, rooms etc.. Not just a little bit but VERY noticably here in Phuket.

I should have mentioned, excluding Xmas and New Year but I disagree that numbers double in November or February compared to April/May for example. For the past 4 years I have visited Pattaya at all these times and I have honestly seen very little difference between Nov/end Jan/Feb compared to April/May. The so-called low season in Pattaya in April/May last year in fact had more tourists than my visit in November 2004. Cobra Gold may have contributed to the increase in numbers?

I just got back from Phuket Chucky and can tell you that it was booked solid and dumps that go for BHT500 are currently letting at BHT1500...........You only need to look at any website and you wil see that Phuket has distinct Peak (Xmas/NY + Songkran, High (November to April excluding Xmas/NY + Songkran) and low seasons (outside of the above) during peak ALL prices including accommodation and entertainment are as LiL says at least double whilst at High times they are still well above the low season bargains (although you do get very hot and wet weather which is not so condicive to a great holiday) In my experience Pats is a little different and only really has two prices.........Peak and Normal with Peaks generally at both western and Thai New Year periods for a few weeks. Prices across the board generally rise here for these periods but nowhere near the extent of Phukets Peaks. I am surprised you didn't find last April in Pats busy as I was there for a while either side of Songkran + through Songkran and it was packed.......even Jomtien was very busy

Chucky may have visited Pats (not here in his posts, and Pats has more ability to absorb visitors IMHO) during Song Gran which is not really low low season..
To say high season is made up by travel companies and hotels is just crazy.. Nearly everyone gets a holiday over christmas and new year and town literally doubles in population from its lows for that week... Its not as monor or subtle difference.. Just look at how many BM's were here last month v BM's around now (and in 2 more weeks again) ??? Things now are back to handleable levels but June July (before the Euro summer vacations start) can be very quiet as can Sept Oct and first weeks of Nov.. Theres a little spike in the midsummer of summer vacationers but often those are families with kids on school holidays so not as effecting Pattaya or Patong as much as say Samui..

LivinLos..I know Thailand and my dates of visit to Thailand well enough to know if I was visiting during songrkran or not and I certainly arrived in Thailand well after this...lol
Why is it crazy to say that high season is created by Hotel and travel companies?...and I did say " excluding xmas and new year" ? They have much to gain from doing this and little to lose. Some hotels/guesthouses offer a flat rate for most of the year, excluding only xmas and new year and maybe two weeks either side of this. Nelsonone...I just booked up in Patong for 3 weeks in February. I easily got booked up and they offered may the room for only a 100 baht above low season rate. Entertainment doubles during high season? Luckily Ive never experienced that yet. This is my opinion from my visits fellas...take it or leave it. Last edited by chucky66 : 18-01-2006 at 15:42.

Not that I want this to drag on chucky but my point was that accomodation and entertainment in Patong can double during PEAK season............and that during High season it is also more expensive than at low season Pattaya is different as I point out in my post Glad you got a good deal for February........this is still HIGH (but not PEAK season) so should be a lot less busy than the last month ............I hope you have a great time
