Bangkok Reports

[Tesla Coil]

guys,

i confirmed my flights. the sheer anticipation is killing me.

i land at the airport around 5 am, and plan on staying in the landmark or jw.

but it looks like most of the places will be closed by the time i get checked in?

any suggestions. since i am only there for a short time, i would like to hit the ground like udonis bolt. (not running, but with superhuman speed) lol.

i am not a fan of sw's and don't want to wait till 1ish for eden when i have 4-5 good hours to kill.

I went to Pegasus for the first time last year, and I was underwhelmed. The atmoshpere is plush, but in a somewhat gaudy, Las Vegas-like style. I don't remember the exact pricing, but it was something like 7,000 baht for S/T by the time you added up the entrance fee, the drinks, the barfine and the tip to the girl. I went there on a weeknight around 10:00 pm and the place was dead--only about four other guys in the room. The girls were OK looking, but nothing special. I have seen better ones all over Bangkok. I wasn't tempted to take one out, so I can't report on the sexual service. I went there just to see what it is like, but I don't recommend it. If you must go to see what an upscale gentlemen's club is like, just pop in and look around. Don't spend any money. There are better values around town.

If you want an upscale experience, I recommend that you go to Tarawadee. It has a nicer feel, the decor is very attractive, the papasans are polite and helpful and you can eat a nice dinner while you're looking at the girls. The pricing is straightforward. There's no membership fee, no lady drinks and no Farang surcharge. One girl I went with at Tarawadee had a beautiful face, a nice personality and a very sexy body. The charge was only 3,500 baht---about half what it would be at Pegasus, and the girl was much better-looking than anyone I saw at Pegasus. (I did tip her an extra 1,000 baht for the great service.) Some of the model sideliners went up as high as 5,500, but I found that some of the 3,500 baht girls were just as attractive.

Usually when I go to Tarawadee, I'm the only white man in the place, but I've never felt uncomfortable. Everyone was nice to me and I liked the no farang surcharge policy.

Utopia is my choice for the best looking girls & best service in BK. Have been may times & all total GFE. Many 7 to 9 out of 10. Cost is similar to Tarawadee.

That's an understatement. A New Orleans ***** House would be more accurate

Gee ... those members and guests must feel so special.

10-15K per pop ... must make a guy feel like a prince.

I have been there once a long time ago. My company's manager in BKK had a membership and lots of Chivas bottles.
A very nice upscale place with a common large area and other private large living rooms where mamasan would bring the girls.

I finally took back to my hotel a tall stuner that turned to be a dead corp in the bed although I was young and handsome and in good shape back then. The worst I ever had in my life, that's why I remember the experience. I was fighting to open her legs. She must have been very new to the business.

The deal was for 4.000 Baht then. I am talking about 20 years back when average rate was 300-500 Baht. I finally sent her off very early in order to enjoy my bed alone.

For my next visits I was taking the station manager to Cleopatra's at Patpong where we both had a much better time.

I' don't know what kind of math you guys are using, but I never spent anything like the figures you are quoting at Pegagus.

The most I've ever spent is 6,000 and that included renting a ST room upstairs for 1,500. I was told I could take her to a ST hotel near by, but I couldn't be seen leaving with a girl so I played it safe.

I bet there are a few sly on the side arrangements going on there!

[Daddy07]

...It's complicated. There is a fee you pay for the girl to sit with you. If you are a member, she can drink out of your bottle. If you're not a member, you have to buy her drinks. If you want her to provide sexual services, then you pay an additional fee that is a combination barfine and service fee. So as a non-member, to sit with a sideliner would be 1,800B entry + 2,200B "time fee" = 4,000B, plus whatever drinks you buy and then 2,000B S/T or 4,000B L/T. If you're a member, you don't pay the entrance fee, but you still pay for the girl's time, although less than a non-member. So it would be 1,700B for the time fee, then 2,000B S/T or 4,000B L/T. Plus even if you have a bottle behind the bar, you still pay for mixers and ice and that ain't cheap. Even if you are a member, figure on a minimum of 7,000-8,000B to take the girl home and then she's going to expect a tip on top of that.

Evil,

I think Pegasus is a good place to bring your business customer.

The model girl there is hot.

It is very expensive, mostly japanese and chinese business men.

If you want model quality girl you should go to the Posiedon or Emmanule.

You can just pick the girl without paying for entry fee or membership.

I wasn't citing anything, but good info.

I think this is the equivalent of the bar-fine.

Here's an excerpt from the long explanation on pricing at Pegasus given on a Bangkok Website. I believe it is the one Mick is citing.

[Evil Penivel]

Here's an excerpt from the long explanation on pricing at Pegasus given on a Bangkok Website. I believe it is the one Mick is citing. Bottom line for non-members, according to the poster, was, "Drinks, lady charge and short time / long time fee will add up easily to at least 10000 Baht, probably more in the region of 12000-15000." (I'm not sure about the rules in linking to that site, but if you do a Google search for "Pegasus Bangkok," it will be the first link to come up. Starts with ww w. private...)

But that post is old. Now there are only two categories of girls at Pegasus, sideliner and model. But not all the ladies are available for barfine. Some will only sit with you. Nothing else is guaranteed for the "companion" girls. That's the way it is at most high-class gentlemen's clubs. You may be able to arrange to meet the girl after she gets off work. You pays yo' money for drinks and the girl's time and you takes yo' chances.

At Pegasus, there is an explicit fee for takeaway that guarantees some of the girls will hop into bed with you. It has to be paid upfront before you leave the club. On top of that, the girl expects a tip for services rendered.

My personal experience of Pegasus is limited, as I was only there once as the guest of Taiwanese associates who paid for everything. That was a few years ago, when there were three categories of girls. I really couldn't see what the fuss was about. The girls to me looked very much the same as the girls you see on Soi 33 or even Nana Plaza. There were some stunners, but you see the occasional stunner just about everywhere. If anything, the attraction seemed to be that they had light complexions, or at least were made up that way.

Some more recent reports from ISG members:
Escort Fan's Report

Hoboken Michael's Report

This is the grid from the Bangkok board's report:

Entrance with 2 drinks: 1800 Baht (free for member)
To have a lady sit and give you company: 900 Baht for 45 min. (450 Baht for members)


Sideliner girls:
Sideliner charge: 2200 Baht (1700 baht for members)
Short Time charge: 2000 Baht (2000 Baht for members)
Whole Night charge: 4000 Baht (4000 Baht for members)

Model girls:
Model charge: 3200 Baht (2200 Baht for members)
Short time charge: 3000 Baht (3000 Baht for members)
Long time charge: 6000 Baht (6000 Baht for members)

Memberships are available as follows:

1 year: 30000 Baht (9 free whiskey bottles + free entry & discounts)
2 year: 50000 Baht (15 free whiskey bottles + free entry & discounts)
3 year: 60000 Baht (20 free whiskey bottles + free entry & discounts)
5 year: 100000 Baht (not confirmed how many bottles + free entry & discounts)
lifetime membership: 200000 Baht (not confirmed how many bottles + free entry & discounts)

Explanation:
If you want to have company you pay the 900 Baht for 45 minutes as a non-member. Now you can also opt for paying the lady charge (for example 1700 Baht for a PR girl). This will enable her to drink from your own bottle so yopu don’t pay any extra drinks and also you don’t have to pay the 45 minutes rate. This price is for the whole time she is sitting with you and will save you surely some money. If you pay this you can also take her out to wherever you wish. Now if you want to take her home you have to also pay the short time or whole night charge, depending on what you want. Drinks, lady charge and short time / long time fee will add up easily to at least 10000 Baht, probably more in the region of 12000-15000. A proud price but like I said, you gotta try for yourself to see if its worth it or not as reports are too different to really say how it is.

[Showdown]

Can anyone recommend a good post for newbies that gives a general introduction to the Bangkok and Pattaya scene?

[Retired Army]

So you think membership is worth it?

If you live in Bangkok full time it's definitely worth the membership.

[Retired Army]

Well, of course I have no first-hand knowledge, but this is what I picked up, hence the questions to clarify. Don't know what PR stands for, but it's the lowest level, the models run into 5000-6000thb range

Memberships:1 year: 30000 Baht (9 free whiskey bottles + free entry & discounts)

Entrance with 2 drinks: free for member
Lady sit and give you company: 450 Baht for members

PR girls: 1200 Baht for members (don't know what PR is)
Short Time charge: 1500 Baht
Whole Night charge: 3000 Baht

"You can opt for paying the lady charge, 1200 Baht for a PR girl. This will enable her to drink from your own bottle so you don’t pay any extra drinks and also you don’t have to pay the 45 minutes rate. This price is for the whole time she is sitting with you and will save you surely some money."

I think this is the equivalent of the bar-fine.

"If you pay this you can also take her out to wherever you wish, you have to also pay the short time or whole night charge, depending on what you want."

So the revised numbers: About 1500thb in drinks, 1000thb bar-fine, girl + tips 3000thb = 5500thb - 1200 BF at Pegasus - 1500thb ST (does not sound right!) = 2800THB net >>> 11 times to break even

If these figures are correct, then they are not any more expensive than the girls at the Sports Bars around town. That's why I want some validation.

PR actually stands for Public Relations girls. It's the lowest level.

However, if I remember correctly, and I often don't as a member there was no barfine and no charge for time spent with the girl in the club. Your membership should include X number of bottles and Y number of bar fines.
