NO. USD. Obviously, world default currency.

And tip number 24: Find out what suits you most and stick to that. Don't think you MUST love agogo's or Soi 6 or whatever because other guys on the forum are lyrical about them / it. If you don't feel at ease somewhere or think 'meh' then move on to a place you like. Always go your own way and do what you like. It's YOUR holiday.

Cheap Charlie options are available and also guaranteed a wonderful experience. But as many wise Mongers on this site have mentioned it is like going from a Toyota to a Mercedes Benz. You can also take that approach with most things here in LOS. Slightly increase your budget and the experience and value exceeds expectations. EG: Hotel rooms. Happy hunting.

Indians get treated differently than Japanese. In what way if you don't mind me asking? I'm Hispanic but depending on where I am / who I'm interacting with people may confuse me for different races. Hispanics usually know I'm Hispanic. From there I've gotten confused for a lot of things including Indian / Middle Eastern. At the very least, I'll have a Northeast American accent hah.
Anyway, I feel like I'll need to explain at least a few times while I'm there that I'm not what they think I am so just wondering what I should expect.

What's so terrible about saying LOS was better years ago? It was better IMHO and most others too. Girls were prettier, service was better, and it was much cheaper. It doesn't mean you should stay away now. Few, if any, other destinations are better than LOS for this hobby today. I can't wait to get back.

Posts: 96I personally budget about 9,000 baht a day. I rarely use anywhere near that much though. I always come home with money left over and no regrets from being a cheap charlie. I've found that worrying about costs can dampen a holiday.
Sadly, this forum gets lurkers who think, 700 baht for a room, 50 baht for each meal, 350 for Soi 6 room, and 1000 for the girl. Maybe 300 for beer, since it's so cheap. I won't buy girl drinks. Those drinks are a rip off anyways. So, I just need 2,500 baht a day! And that's including the hotel!
I've seen people do their budgets like this and fully believe that's what will happen; it gives me a headache.
Also, notice that I said 6,000 after paying for the hotel room. If you are a lurker, don't be a stupid cheap charlie! Trust the veterans!

From conversations with others when there, it seems definitely that young bucks who want to do 3 different stunners a day will be shelling out a LOT more. I know I spent gobs of cash in my heyday when doing things like taking four or five gorgeous girls for a private party. But those days are now in the distant memory banks, and I am just a mellow old guy who likes the company of an attractive, younger (than me), personable girl who will make me feel good all night (and only part of that time is doing the deed). Yes I can get crazy and pretend I'm 20 years younger with a bunch of blue pills and Red Bull, but after a few days it gets old and I get tired and feeling it is not worth it. Sometimes on my trips nowadays, I find a keeper and buy her out of her bar for three or four days in a row, and we go somewhere nice out of the city. It is Thailand: go with the flow, have a wonderful time, and enjoy what comes your way.

The suggestion to budget 6000 baht per day is reasonable and, if anything, may be on the low side now. If one thinks they want to indulge in high end gogo girls, they need to bring more. If they will concentrate on BR and Soi 6, they can get by with a little less. My recommendation is to prepay your hotel by credit card, then add up your expected expenses based upon the type of mongering you plan on doing and budget accordingly. Certainly, if this will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, don't skimp out!

Posts: 492My tablet went dead so I did not get to finish my post. Then I got on my computer, wrote several more paragraph and lost them. I am taking that as a sign that whatever else I had to say wasnt meant to happen.
