Been living in pattaya for almost 2 years now, punting scene is getting expensive, used to pay 2-3k baht for LT now most of the girls ask for 5-8k baht. 2k baht for ST now which is standard price in Thailand now for 1shot. Same price as we pay in Sydney so I have decided to move back to Sydney.
Soi 6 is till crazy, LK metro, few places in Jometin have started to flourish but the tourism is no longer same as pre pandemic.
Happy punting everyone.
I have just come back and sure, some girls are asking crazy money but there are so many girls now on Thai Friendly happy with 1200 to 1500 ST, and 2000-2500 LT.
Last time I was in BKK I paid 5000 for two hours plus barfine 1500… still she was a definite 10/10 and didn’t feel ripped off
2000 Baht = about $80 AUD .... $80 for ST/1shot in Sydney? That's where massage shop Part 1/Entry fee prices are currently at. Whereabouts are you planning on punting?
Yes - relative to pre-pandemic times, Thailand (and in general travel expenses or living expenses if you're staying longer term) is getting expensive now.
Hoeflation is real
In comparison to aud it’s not bad but compared to what it once was is still way higher. I guess that’s with everything thought it always used to be cheaper at some point in time.
2012 Pattaya, I met a girl in a bar, bought drinks for the night (unsure the cost of that, negligible) took her back to some cheap hotel we found.
Fucked her twice that night and once again in the morning. When it came time for her to leave I was a bit unsure of what I should even offer, or if I should ask because I felt a bit rude.
I said to her “ah..so what do I owe you?” And she just said a thousand baht. Which at the time was around $30 aud.
Needless to say saw her multiple times over the next week.
Many brothels in Sydney you only pay $100 for 30 mins full service or $150 for diamond service. Just google it mate.
WAAAAAY back when, turn of the century, you got off falang alley, Suk, Cowboy, 'Pong, no smart phones, walking down the street, people made eye contact, and if you smiled, you ALWAYS got the BIGGEST smile, guaranteed... A falang was appreciated for visiting... Soi Tong Lor... ALL Thai, all the time. Now... totally gentrified... Now, BKK like any big city, no eye contact, people just looking so they don't bump into the MMB's (moving meat blobs). Waaaay back, still LT the norm, and a girl would be very happy to be pulled for sequential LT's, either meeting at your hotel and walking together to the bar to pay the fine, meet outside the bar, and, with some, just hand them the barfines, tell them to take care of it, meet at the hotel at this hour... Now, MERCENARY... Lady drink optional, worked for, NOT mandatory.
So maybe Thailand has moved up to 2nd world, more employment opportunities outside the industry, and even working inside, not so dependent on customer charges. Haven't read Stick for a long time, or followed ISG, but I'm thinking bar salaries are enough a girl can eke by, or at least not be compelled for the customer/night to survive. Just my opinion.
The internet has made all the SWs smarter. They read what the others are doing and getting up to and they emulate.
