but it will
LOS is overpriced IMO
body-to-body is in actual fact, ยฃ60 in london. (over and above the price of the 1hr massage though, which is nominal)
china town, across the street from the famous won-ki restaurant (its the only massage place on this little patch), go 2 flights upstairs
with that in mind, considering LOS is a 'developing country', a service of a similar nature should be a 3rd of the price IMO
for a HJ in a massage place in the center of london the rate everywhere is ยฃ30 no matter where you go (note that HJ used to be a flat rate of ยฃ20 over 2 years ago now). so translate that current london rate to 1500 baht UK money.. some places even in patts have tried to command 1000 baht for a HJ, which of course you say no. but in BKK they all seem to ask for 1000 now for a HJ!! (in any place that is of equal quality spa surroundings that you will find in the london place, not talking about some shithole with a shower curtain separator) etc i can imagine with some obvious noobs they will ask even more! and some wont budge. when they dont budge off 1000 it can kill the whole afternoon if you didnt just say ok whatever and get on with it. 1000 is the same as the ยฃ20 price in the UK just 2 years ago. ridiculous
dont get me wrong i love annies and the like, and would (and will) go back. but the 2500 baht or whatever it is + tip is expensive. in the grand scheme re what you get especially when the girls do a damn good job its a price well worth paying, but none the less it is still expensive. i'm trying not to complain but the fact is if i'm paying $200 sing dollars for a hottie for the night, its reflective of the economy and cost of living there, its fair IMO. some thai gogo girl trying to charge 5000 baht (same as $200 sing) as seen so many times noted on these boards... IMO it is ridiculous. patts is NOT singapore
