Re: Is it me or what?

[cshs1960]

Hey guys,

Great forum here, really useful guide before my trip here in Phuket. Just finish my rounds at Patong. Met a really pretty lass, and was quoted bar fine 600BHT with ST 3000BHT (1 hour 1 pop).

Now, is it me or the standard of living has gone sky rocketed? I have to pay over 4000BHT (including room rental) for a shot?!?! Wanted the opinions of you folks here whether someone encounter the same situation.

Thanks heaps.

Cheers,
Jeff

I hope you didnt pay that and told her to pi$$ off!

1000 - 2000 baht LT should be the maximum so to pay 4000 baht including room and BF was about double what you should have paid for LT.

But some ladies will ask for that much.

 

[Pompal 09.]

Way too much guy.......... do alittle bit of searching on this site for other opionions.

but the price for ST usually goes from 800 baht to maybe 1200 baht depending on the BG. Heck LT generally goes for no more than 2000 baht. It all depends on the BG also.

If she is a stunner and you have to have her, then maybe 3000 baht may be reasonable for you. Not me though.:angry:

Pretty steap barfine as well. Must be a great bar

 

[Maryshaye]

like the othre BM's already said, i think you paid too much for the girl.... but hey if you think it was worth it then it's up to you...

 

[devilman bravo]

She might have a large family and need that much to support them. Why is it not OK to pay this one the asking price, but OK to pay the other asking prices that are much lower? I thought most on this board were OK with the rates and asking prices. I don't get it sometimes. This paying BG's is getting complicated. I'm taking my business back to the local bar scene where a couple of drinks and nice conversation can get LT for nadda and sometimes it comes with free breakfest.

 

[ponderingincanada]

slingaling has answered the question for you. If all the girls asked this high rate,and got it, it would push up the rate everywhere. Then the girls asking for 3/4k baht would ask for more. Where would it end?
Don't you believe in keeping the rates down to their current level?

 

[Sex.See .]

she was just chancing her arm. because, although 500 st, 1000 lt is the guide price, it is all up for negotiation, so she quotes you a crazy price because;
1. she has plenty of money at the moment (sponsors?), so doesnt need to fxxx you, but hey, what the heck, I`ll do it for an inflated price.
2. she maybe thought you were a newbie, and didn`t know the going rate.
3. thats just her opening gambit anyway, she`s willing to be negotiated down.

always remember, you are the customer, if the price is to high, shake your head and walk away. its not like she`s the only girl in phuket, is it?

 

[demon_man520]

strangely enough, this reminds me of last year when I spent 3 months in Patong. Because I wouldn`t go above 1k baht the girl said to me `ah, I understand, you live here in Patong, right`?
Then everything was ok for her, because I `knew the rules`.

 

[Angel D]

Yes Ok. We all know the rules... But being a newbie and faced with the luscious manipulations of a beautiful woman, while drunk, makes it hard to think clearly. Most people do not like to offend and negotiating for a woman's body seems so tacky when you are having a good time.

My response to over egging, (not that it happens very often to me now) is a quick smile. "You are so beautiful and I would love to pay that but I must save money for my holiday. How about 1500..." If the answer is no, buy a drink and say goodbye.

Just need to haggle.....if you can't get the price down, well as they say "Up 2 u"....pay it...or move on...it's that simple....you will learn.

 

[Pompal 09.]

Thanks for the replies.

Yup, I must agree of not succumbing to the urge and sticking to "market rate". In the end, it was just a friendly drink and good bye before I wander off to other joints.

Just curious why the gal even think she's going to get it at such rate. Maybe someone before me has paid that much (duh!)..

Jeff

 

[julie_becu]

5k ST.. I know one that was on 60k per month not to work (from one person).. And still was scouting..

 

[AVDADDY]

>>because, although 500 st, 1000 lt is the guide price,

 

[...]

Totally agree 500BHT st is just being cheep. The girl must look like a dog or she was really in need of cash.
I usually pay 1000BHT to 2000BHT st /Lt. For a stunner 3000BHT LT will be max to the max
3000BHT st is on the high side. which bar was it in?

 

[gustavo r]

Jeff Chang…..not trying to read too much in your screen name, but by any chance would you be Japanese? That might explain the price expectation of a BG. I remember something very similar was discussed recently so I dug up the thread. http://www.phuket-info.com/forums/general/14785-misconception-about-lt-bf-price.html

 

[tehabwa]

No and No. Though I will add that I took the time to get to know the girl which made the whole thing more comfortable for both of us.
As I said, it is the guide price, it is up to you if you pay more or less. Personally though, I have no respect for people who get off on paying the girl nothing, or alternatively make out theyre the big man by grossly overpaying (I`ll let you into a secret, the girls don`t think these guys are jai dee, they think theyre plain stupid, no Thai would pay 3 or more times the going rate for a service).

 

[Chariot]

You're right Searanger, they are so clued into everything.

You can't let the language barrier/accent fool you into thinking they aren't extremely intuitive and intelligent girls. They know how to play the "game" and are professionals in the truest sense of the word.

 

[Pompal 09.]

I was thinking something similar. although i think he's singaporean and to the thai bg she may have thought Jap. Also i think the bg's or some at least can smell a newbie a mile away.

Not even girls in bkk ask for that much. I think the girls in CM2 and Q will go LT for around 3000 baht. Plus or minus 1000 depending on certain things...

 

[StanKy]

I had a request for 10k in Q once.....couldn't stop laughing at her and just glided away after a good 2 hours of fun + dancing together....not that I asked....... she just popped it into the convbersation where she thought it might fit...derrrrrr!!!!!

All the gals I've met in CM2 have been more than happy with the 1.5k or 2 k left in the morning......definitely only 1K to 1.5K in Angels......I have never found a "connection" in Q

so there are no ready + fast rules anywhere in LOS unless it is on a menu with a fishbowl in front of you.....and that is not my scene.....

In fact I have never brought it up at all with the gals....just leave what I think is fair....all things taken into consideration ....next to their personal belongings whilst they are having a morning shower..and this method has never backfired on me....
