Back to basics.

Fellow boardmembers, I'm going to ask you a question here. I know this has been discussed hundreds of times on this forum, but this has been eating away at me for a few months and I figured you guys might be able to put this to rest.

I'm an ex Pattaya bar owner. I moved back to the UK March 2006 and went back to see my buddies in Pattaya Nov 06 and Jan 07.

My question is this..... during my years living in the city of sin, the going rates were (Regardless of high/low season, and i'm talking Pattaya not Bangkok.) -

L/T - 1500B
S/T - 500B - 1000B
Soi 6 - 500B

I only ask because a couple of times in Novemeber I gave 1500B and the ladies looked at me as though i'd walked into their front room on Christmas morning and p**sed on their kids. They explained to me in their native tongue that this wasn't the going rate anymore, and I always argued the fact that during my 2 years in my bar these were the rates customers gave their chrome pole polishers. Am I living in the past or what?

Obviously things need to be taken into consideration such as is she a gogo or beer bar girl. Do you look like the elephant man? etc etc. I'm just talking on average.

Fellow board members, help out a fellow LOS brother.

Cheers

These are the sort of prices I paid 12 months ago, so they obviously don't change quickly.
Maybe you need to take another look in the mirror, or that salami shoved down the front of you trousers scares them a bit!!!!

That is exactly what I found on my trip in February.
I did, however, not do Soi 6 ... guess I missed something.

I walked through one night (I think you were there too). I was under the impression that Soi 6 was a scary place, even though the night I walked through it looked like any other Soi.

IJ was in front and you positioned yourself inbetween Dogblower and myself

I paid 1,000 ST once on my last trip for a BG as she was velly sexy, but STs were usually 500. STs for gogos were 1,000.

Some freelancers asked for 1,000 and would not budge, one genuinely even asked for 2,000 for ST. I said no but she did turn a few heads as she walked down WS.

I felt safe ... I guess.
I do remember you guys commenting that it was a bit lame that night.

Next time in Pattaya, I will need to give Soi 6 another look.

Depends wher you findem in my experience

if you are taking a top of the line showgal she will be expecting 2k LT minimum these days........and 1.5k ST.....and the bar fine of 1k or thereabouts for her........

standard gogo gals + upmarket FLs from a club....1.5K LT-1K ST

beer bar gals + most FL's 1kLT-500ST

of course you can get a bargain on the beach promenade....but that's not my idea of fun

Who cares how much it is....I certainly don't, just roll with it and enjoy it then pay then what you regard as appropriate in the morning.
However, I draw the line at those LD2 cosmetically enhanced showgirls who ask for 5k all night.
I know some who have paid that much and it aint me !

I do agree with you with respect to 500 baht more or less, however, this is good information for the newbies. Without no reference the girls wanting 5K sets the rules. Remember that to some that amount would still be a bargain at home.

Not only some, make that "all". What you would get for 5K anywhere else in Europe would be a warm beer and a pseudo lapdance.

Nevertheless, I believe the 500st/1000lt are quite stable and are the benchmark with +/- a few hundred bahts tip or taxi

I guess this makes me an LDOP, to use an expression from another site (lame dupe over payer). In Pattaya I don't bother much with Soi 6 or the beer bars I just do the gogo or enclosed bar scene and almost always take all nighters. I usually tuck a lazy 2k under their purse while they're in the shower in the morning, unless I was less than happy. Maybe it's my selection criteria or sheer blind luck but I rarely wind up with a girl who hasn't made me happy enough to pay that kind of money in the morning.

I think that is a very acceptable fee dogblower.
Some guys seem to get a real kick out of paying them as little as possible.

And I am certainly not pointing the finger at anyone on this forum.

I threw one guy out of my bar for bragging that he paid one of my staff 400B for LT. She came and had a quiet word with me telling me the story about him giving her 400B and I said to let me know if it happened again, but when this guy came in bragging about it, he was out on his ar5e.

A service is being provided, and just like anything else being purchased in life, you don't want to be over charged, but pay the going price.

hey Pentire,
i wouldnt say its about "kick-out" of paying as little as possible...
not all the guys in pattaya who would also like to shag r british, western europeans, us, where average salary is significantly higher than in central or eastern europe, or some other countrties...
so lets call it "economical" rather than cheap charlie as ones budget is far smaller than someone elses...
if 500,- is ok, why should i pay 1.000,-
if 1.000,- is ok, why should i pay 2.000,-
...thats the reason why we will all stare at the end of the day , when girls ask for 5.000,- with smile on their face...

Well in that case LDJ, you should start to petition that those babes who frequent the ''Gentlemens Clubs of Bratislava and Brno should bring thier prices down and more in line with the average earnings for the area, because I was quite shocked at what they are now charging

Us Western Europeans, Aussies & Americans also have cause to because I have noticed a few places in Pattaya have now opened which only entertain the filthy rich Japanese cos they are wealthier
But yes your point about the Eastern Europeans (in general) having less to spend is a valid one.

Is Wales in Eastern Europe
