Use the seach function and do some research. The Thailand forum is by far the most comprehensive. There is a wealth of information in here. Everything you need to know and then some.

Phuquar's FR from 2005 in the Reports of distinction is still accurate, even though a couple of years old. I suggest you start from there (I think it's the first or second report in that thread), and then come back with a more specific question.
Going to Bangkok next week. Can anybody recommend the fishbowl with the best looking girls?

Check out the massage parlor thread.
In my opinion Posidon is the best.

....but that 500b extra for FARANG is very annoying and racist. I think Nataree and Colonze don't rip off foreigners for the sake of eye slant and/or skin color.

Many girls are trying to push up to 1500 or even 2000 for ST, but I would say 80 per cent accept 1000 eventually. And we should all stick to that level !!! Don't forget they get another 100 or 200 on the bar fine too, which has gone up to 600. Plus on their drinks.

I consider the 500 THB to be fair compensation for the wear and tear and depreciation and disposition of the asset when I am through with it.
It's like a rental car, I am going to drive the hell out of it and turn it in dirty. I pay extra for the company to maintain it, clean it and utlimately dispose of it.

I appreciate that to some folks money is no object, and we all have paid over the odds for a stunner. But by agreeing to pay more without even a good moan over it is driving the prices up for a lot of us!!! And if you are mongering at a ferocious level, it gets pricey!! I hope this argument starts a ferocious argument!

Maybe, but why should you pay more for the same car than I do? (Or vice-versa).
I found that every go go girl asked for B1500 or B2000 on my last trip.
I've been [b]asked[/b] for all that and more for years... in fact, I remember paying 3k plus barfine for ST from Patpong about 10 years ago. I only paid this because my education was sadly lacking and I genuinely believed she wouldn't take any less. I look back now and shake my head with amazement at the younger me.
I apologize to every single person here for paying that much and contributing to unnecessary inflation.
What is asked for is completely utterly irrelevant, as relevant as the salt content of medium grade, high gloss patent leather, maybe even a little less so, because at least the latter probably matters to some chemist somewhere. The only relevant number is what they can get. The number they can get is set by you and I my friends. If the prices creep up we have but ourselves and our brethren to blame and noone else.
To come back to current prices, for LT you should be able to get 1500 + BF. I've [i][b]never[/b][/i] had anyone say no to 2000, but, since the 3k event mentioned above, I've never actually paid more than 1500 LT in BKK (the reason I mention 2k is that sometimes that is a number that always comes up while we are bringing the price down during negotiations).
I've had a grand total of one girl reject the 1500 number - in Nana Plaza. Noone from Soi Cowboy has ever said no to it (and somewhere between 50-100 at Nana have said yes).
My standard price for street walkers is 1000 LT, and I very rarely get complaints for that - usually I avoid all discussion about price with street walkers and just give them the 1000 in the morning/afternoon. There is sometimes a token attempt to negotiate more after the fact, but it is never very serious and we both know it.
Ocassionally street walkers are gogo dancers who have failed to find a customer that night, and try and negotiate a bit more than 1000. If I am in the mood, I will let them push me to 1500, but not one baht more. With that pricing structure, I have never had a no on the street.
To summarize - I've only ever had one girl reject 1500 LT in a gogo bar (and she said she would take 2k)
If there is no discussion, 1k LT is good for a street pickup.. only offer 1.5k LT under extreme duress and if you are really really keen.
Here's a handy little rhyme to help you remember:
[i]When in Bangkok having your fun,
Heed what follows to avoid getting stung.
If she dances, take no chances
For one point five kay, she'll go your way
If she's a walker, don't be a talker
One thou in the morn'll buy more than porn
[/i]
^^ No, honestly, that didn't come from a book or anything, I wrote it myself.
Even after saying all this, the funny thing is, if I was to see someone overpaying and I went up to everyone else in the bar, pulled out their wallets, took a few thousand baht from each one, then, threw the money in a pile on the floor and set fire to it, then, handed each person their wallet back and spat in their faces as I did so, I'd be the one who'd get the shit kicked out of him, yet, my crime would only have a one off effect on each person, whereas Mr Overpayment is costing everyone over and over and over again into the future. Is it I, who openly steals from you and spits in your face, or Mr Overpayment who costs you money and doesn't even have the decency to look you in the eye while he metaphorically spits in your face, that is your greatest enemy?
After all is said and done, I'd pay you back the money I stole, and apologize for spitting in your face and explain it was vitally necessary to make a point, then, if you were really upset, I'd rent someone to lick it clean.

Because I like to ride the clutch?
Sorry, I had to bring this one back, there seems to be a problem with the exhaust?
In all seriousness, there is no reason you should pay more, they only charge it because they can - dog, has balls, will lick.
This stuff drives me fucking crazy - mainly because the solution is so blindingly fucking obvious, yet, short of buying a placard and spending my days out the front of the place, I am utterly unable to implement said solution.
[b]Do not patronize places that have stupid foreigner fees/unreasonable overcharges etc etc[/b], then the establishments are left with 2 choices: become non-farang places (fine), or, lower prices/abolish fees until customers come back.
It is my teary eyed dream that once Jackson gets the wiki up and running (which will be supercool!) that we can maintain a boycott list in the hopes that members of this board will adhere to it and some real changes can be effected. We'll be like our own little mini UN with trade sanctions and embargoes - the only difference will be that we'll the US will be a genuine part of our new mongers UN rather than operating independently ;)
