dancing in the nude - yeh!
Hey Draco!
Thanks for the happy news about girls in Pattaya still dancing in the nude! You just made my New Year!
I think I'll make the trip from Indonesia after all... wooh, can't wait...
Jakarta is one of the best places in the world for pussy, almost all inexpensive and lots absolutely free. But there is nothing to compare to a Thai go go bar with a festival of naked female flesh on show.
Hey JZ, I think you guessed correctly...
thanks for the kind words and info and i think you are right about the long term thing as i have now been hanging with the same girl (first one who everyone thought got ripped off) for a few days now and counting dinners, drinks, cab rides, etc, have probably spent more on her than i would have otherwise but probably less than what i would hve had i continued with different girls every day. oh well, she is a pretty cool chick whatever her motives and girl-friendly so i consider it money well spent. there are a few guys staying in my hotel who have also been with the same local girls for the duration of their stay and i can definetely understand why; less hassle and these girls really know how to take care of a guy. i had to get used to a woman handfeeding me and pouring my drinks wherever we went! going to spend ny eve with her and her friend tonite on walking street hitting the go-go's then back to my hotel to ring in the new year with her and her aforementioned girlfriend. i'm planning something really raunchy for this so stand by for the future report!
as for my somewhat smartass replies, well, i was somewhat peeved that it seemed that many here were really quick to believe that i was out to rip the girl off without giving me the benefit of doubt as it was my first day. yes, i had read the reports and in hindsight should have logged on here once i arrived to get a "refresher" course in the price/currency system here but was really excited about being here and finally experiencing it and really just wanted to get laid right away. thanks for the tip on how to manage the baht, i've found it is really easy to spend money here if you don't have a realistic idea of what you're actually spending and your system will definetly prove useful. anyway, getting behind on my reports, this is day 8 and i have a lot of catching up to do. will try do post more about days 2-7 later.
peace
s/h
p.s. how the hell do you post pics here? i have some great ones so far but can't seem to get them on.

just to be very clear, the only reason i posted anything regarding your first night tip was because you'd noted you'd been a member for a long while and had always envied other people's reports. from that i (and i expect others) simply presumed you'd read the reports and done some research before your trip, and so was commenting on something that didn't seem to fit. you've now made clear that you're learning as you go along, as many do, and i for one appreciate your reports, hope you keep them coming, and hope the rest of your trip is as enjoyable as it seems it's been so far! i certainly meant no disrespect, and my comment was simply about fairness to someone who treated you well. i agree with you that if you're unfamiliar with a currency, it can be difficult to get your head around what things truly cost or are worth -- i usually just try to keep in mind that 100 baht is about $2.50, so 1000 baht is $25, and so on, and i look at each note as being a dollar bill of that value. so i think of the purples as $12.50 bills, the browns as double that and the little blues as a buck and a quarter. that way it's easy to keep a general sense of what you're really paying.
as far as your repeat encounter with the night's first girl, it sounds like you might have either lucked into a true gem or found someone who might be interested in playing you for the longer term/bigger bucks. sometimes it's tough to tell one from the other, so just enjoy and be careful.
and just to clarify dinghy's post to you: massage parlor girls get a portion of the fee you pay to the establishment, (3600baht, in this case, which probably included some baht which went to the driver who brought you there) so the common practice is to give lower tips than you would with a freelander or bar girl, who is generally only getting what you give to her. traveler's list is a good one, as it points out that there is generally the same kind of price structure you might find anywhere, with a "going rate" for a particular situation and then people trying to move up or down the scale accordingly. of course it can also be the old argument about whether the food at a more ritzy restaurant is truly worth twice the price (posters here who frequent the beach road girls emphatically argue no) but that's the general way of things.
and don't overly worry about people criticizing this or that -- some are trying to help, others are just sniping, as people do -- just have a good time! i for one am envious as hell, as you're there right now and i'm not, and i am happy to see your reports.[/quote]
