I often pay BFs, but rarely have I paid over 200. For 200, it's not worth a second thought about it, was less than $5, until the recent demise of the $. But the last week of my tour, they raised BFs in Pattaya beer bars to 300, which at today's rate is close to $10. Still no big deal, but it makes a difference to me. However, in Pattaya beer bars, I have not had girls, mamasans, bartenders, "sisters," roomies, and general hangers-on pumping me for drinks, like in Patong, where it seems de rigeur.
I've only paid over 300 3 times, all on my first tour. First girl(500 BF) was real sweet, but I thought I was BFing the hottest chick there. When she got off the seforum.xxxe, she was a midget with zits, and when she took the gogo boots off, those "great" legs turned out to be well below par. Second girl(500 BF) was OK, not exceptional looks, cost me 1500 for ST, was nice kid, and polite, but I've had ******s in the US, who were a lot hotter in bed than her. Third(600 BF) and final gogo BF(to date), was smoking hot bod, and a great f*ck and an absolutely miserable, f*cked up b!tch, one of the worst experiences I've had, in spite of her looks, and the good sex.
So those 3 convinced me that, in general, the less you pay, the more you get for your money. Money only buys looks, and sometimes not even that. And if you make the extra effort, you can find nice-enough looking girls in discos, and beer bars. And I won't pay gogo BFs at beer bars, like they charge in Tiger. If every bar in Patong raised their BF to 500, then it would be a rare day in May that I would BF a girl there.
The next trip to Pattaya, I may try out the gogos there, however, since at 400 BF, that is only 100 more than the beer bars, and some days, it would be worth the extra 100, to save the time of sorting through the beer bar girls there, trying to find one I like.
