[QUOTE=NoCBJ4Me]Phuket is a lot different than the last time I visited On my last trip to here 3 years ago, I had no trouble finding P4P, for ST or LT, in the Bangla bars.
Now, the Mamasans in the beer bars won't let the girls go before closing at 3 AM. They figure they make more money on drinks, than bar fines. By then, I'm asleep! I tried to pull a girl out of Tiger Entertainment the other night, but they wouldn't let her leave 'til after 1 AM.[/QUOTE]I would not generalise from this experience. This is tipical from bars at Tiger entertainment, and in particular if you want to pick-up a dancer. There are plenty of other places where you can pick-up girls at any time.
To come back to the general discussion on Phuket, the main problem is the price/quality ratio of girls. If you restrict your choice (such as me) to girls in the 18/22 age range, slim, with nice face, firm tits, no birthmark, there is practically no girl for you. Last time in Pattaya, after 30 mn of looking around I had found a cute 18 years girl that I paid 1500 LT because it's the price I was used to pay in Phuket, and found out later that I could probably get her for 1000. I like Phuket, but for girls it sucks more and more every year. 2nd class girls asking for 1st class price (even if it's usually possible to bargain). Next week I go to Pattaya instead of going to Phuket as usual.
