[QUOTE=Bionicman;1336767]PS and by the way, whilst I paid a correct 215 taxi meter fare plus 70 for toll from BKK airport to Soi 2 hotel in sukhumvit, on my return trip from the hotel to BKK I opted for 450 all in paid to the hotel limo (oh well. Limo is an overstatement, we all know that, it is a Toyota Camry). Sheeeeeet! I wasted the cost of a beer or two in doing that, what an asshole I am. Now I know why I was thirsty when at the airport.[/QUOTE]What a nice discussion about fares taxi / bus. You overpaid quite heavily from low Suk to Suvarnaphul I hope you know that. Shame on you and you probably increase the going prices for the rest of us. Jokes aside. For me it is all about comfort and I order in most cases fast track and limo pick up at the airport to hotel and return as well. Nothing to do about me having more or less money but comfort comfort. And the Limo is in most countries No limo but a ordinary car as stated here a Camry (sometimes better but rare).
For my BKK. Pattaya trips I allways order car upfront with agreed price (most likely 1500 one way) but then with safetybelt in the back. Normal taxis rarely have that. For me it is a big point not having to drag my luggage around (heat) and I want door to door transportation. And I like to crash and travel alone as well so that is pretty much why I would go by taxi rather than some sort of bus.

Long, long time
My buddy will be spending 4 months in Jomtien during high season. He would like to hire a live in for that time. Any help on where to find such a lady and the price would be helpful. He is a youthful 60 years old. On the beach I have seen many Euro's of the same age with "girlfriends" around 35 - 45 or so, for weeks at a time. Myself I am still a working stiff who can only put together 8 weeks and I like the variety of hitting Walking Street most nites, although a certain cute spinner at Baby Dolls keeps me company a couple days a week. Thanks for any advice.

If satisfactory, informally contract for whatever time period is required and set clear financial guidelines. Non-performance is a cause for immediate dismissal. Start over with the above outline, never throw good money after bad. He could follow this program daily if so desired.
Make copy's of all her ID. If something untoward happens you have the info the police will require to locate her and redress your problems.

But of course as you said variety is best and it keeps the drama down.

[QUOTE=Gin And Tonic;1338214]That was alot of f__king help[/QUOTE]Jeeez. What happened to "thanks for any advice"?
OK. Here's what I think. I think he has time to shop for this when he gets here. Do a lot of auditions. Price? Good question. I'm guessing 20, 000 or more per month plus he pays for everything, food, phone cards etc etc etc. Also 9 out of 9 will try to play him in some way. If he cares about money it might be good for him to decide in advance what this is worth to him and where he'll draw the line. Just my opinion, but I don't think the issue will be finding someone but finding someone who will not try to bankrupt him and takes good care of him will be the challenge. The less experience he has the happier he will be. There's also the option of advertising for this on CL but that might attract the kind of person who would have her Thai husband throw him off his balcony after getting his atm details.
Just my opinion about how things really work here.

Example: my rent is 4,500/month. So if she has a place as well just tack that amount onto the 10,000.

Does your " live in " mean your friend expects her to just clean and cook or are we implying the added duty of f-king him?
Based on your remarks he is a youthful 60 years old and like them around 35-45 or so, in my opinion the older they are the price should go down certainly if they look their age which means less customers?
Certainly picking one must be only be done after he has seen and been with her. It certainly would not be wise to hire one and have them meet you at the airport to take care of him hand and foot? As noted, By C4, if he was a wise old man he would take some time and do auditions before selecting.
As for only 10, 000 baht plus food, I'm not sure but lets not rule it out. It would as noted if she doesn't have a place to live and staying / sharing with a friend and she isn't getting barfine etc. Along with not having a kid or any immediate responsibility. Most likely it will be somewhere in the range of 20, 000/30, 000 thereafter you have to worry about her honesty and trust that when its time to leave she doesn't leave with your stuff before you come home?
Good luck, tell your friend he's 60 now! Go it alone the headache isn't worth it unless he ends up finding a gem?

Finding someone truly unemployed and available might be just dumb luck. Unless he pulls from beach road and then who knows what kind of package deal that is. Actually that part is true for anyone. Still, I think he has reason to be optimistic as some gal will view him as a long term sponsor and do everything she can to play the long game instead of the short game. And as LBM says, there could be a big difference in the perceived value of a 45 yo vs a 35 yo. Lot's of my short time adventures are in the 35 yo range and those ladies are making easily 20, 000 per month and many of them more than that.

[QUOTE=Crazy4Thai;1338311]Lot's of my short time adventures are in the 35 yo range and those ladies are making easily 20, 000 per month and many of them more than that.[/QUOTE]C4T,
I admire your generosity. I assume (perhaps wrongly) that you arrive at that figure by extrapolating from your usual fee per day. Girls working the beer bars are making maybe 3-4, 000 B monthly if they make their drink and bar fine quota. Many are lucky, in that age range, to pick up more that a few BF a month. A hot looking 35 yo in a go-go could reach your estimate easily if she was an outstanding performer. Still, all said. 20, 000 B for a month of on demand sex toy action is a bargain. 714 B daily (28d mo) seems to be a more than fair deal if you resist the gold dealer trips and the sick relative ploys.
Be cautious always when Thais talk money as they often equate that with status and like to give the impression they are big-time girls (same as many punters). Don't get the impression that they are only that way with farang. The only people they lie to more than farang are other Thais.

Josh[/QUOTE]Nah, I'm just guessing. I do most of my mongering in BKK and still mostly do 1000 baht short times and some 2000+ baht at the PSE massage places.
I do hope that G&T reports back on the results. I'm sure prices for this will fluctuate far more than they do in the usual P4P venues, which is considerable.

Thai Rates are different

The couple girls I have known in both BKK and Pattaya pay for their own place (room, with seperate shower and balcony) anywhere 1200 baht to 2800 baht. (Pattaya was definitly the more expensive) These rooms do not have air condition. Electrical is extra. Food is cheap, especially for locals. Their main expense is they have to pay the gold / pawn shops the monthly fees, and their "sisters" who shared with them when they were low on cash.

When I first took my Baby Dolls hottie LT a couple of years ago she told me she had changed bars from Tiger because at Baby Dolls she could make 10, 000 a month. This seemed low to me but never talked about it again. Could be averaged out over a year.

[QUOTE=Mr Enternational;1339299]Mine is 4500 shower and balcony, air conditioner, free internet (which other buildings wanted 600 baht for).[/QUOTE]That's less than $145 USD for a months rent; unbelievably cheap.
I've seen what some of the go-go girls get for 1200-2500 baht. They are filthy dumps with absolutely no amenities. On top pf that most of them have roommates and they all sleep in one bed, (usually just a thin mattress on the floor) often in shifts. Their clothes are piled in heaps on the floor as there are no places to hang them. They are used to living like that and it's probably better than what they have on the farm in Isaan.
If the go-go girls are living like that you can imagine how the beer bar girls, street vendors and shop girls must live; no doubt in hovels with common shower and toilet facilities for an entire floor of tenants.
No wonder the girls think all us farangs are rich.
