Bangkok Reports

[Member #4698]

The phrase "it's not worth it" holds no meaning in economic terms although it serves as a personal statement. This is because of the fact that price is determined in the free market by the supply of something and the demand for that something. Only in Communist, Socialist countries, and price regulated markets is this not true.

A free P4P market is absolutely the condition in Thailand despite a couple of obvious quirks, thus I consider the BKK Go Go scene is a good example of a free market at work where nobody forces punters to walk into a Go Go and barfine a girl for 3000 baht, the current market price and likewise, no one forces a girl to go out with a customer for 3000 baht - the girls could offer less if they wanted to and thought it was in their best interests. Guys could walk away. So, it is all voluntary and the resulting price is a fair market value. I don't think anyone can argue with that.

A key peculiarity of the Thai P4 P market, however, is that every December / January there is a huge spike in demand which causes the P4 P Go Go price to rise approximately 250 baht every high season. Then for the rest of the year the girls try to hold to that "sticky" price. If current market conditions were fully operative in low season, I believe the price would be 2000 to 2500 baht as there is just not enough demand to sustain the 3000 baht price and as a consequence many Go Go girls do not get barfined every night or even every few nights. They should lower their price to get more barfines, but due to a national Thai character trait, the girls are very reluctant to do so. I kind of feel sorry for them. Ha Ha. Not really.

But this is one of the main reasons I like to visit Thailand in the low season. The girls are really "friendly" in low season since they are literally starving for customers. I could negotiate price, but I prefer to meet their price and in return I receive a grateful girl very willing to give me GFE and high-quality service. I get that a lot. Other punters can do it their way and negotiate a lower price. Up to them. I believe a lot of guys are getting it for less than 3000 baht, the asking price in low season. So again, it is a free market and no one holds a gun to anyone's head. Guys can do what they think is in their best interest and so can the girls.

Anyway, my point is the free market price is always fair by definition since it is created by supply and demand. And as I stated in the 1st paragraph, the phrase "is the market price worth it?" means nothing in economic terms, although it can mean everything in an individual's own decision making. But until aggregate demand drops off significantly and I mean significantly, I do not expect the price to go down. And whether price continues to rise at the 250 baht per year rate is anyone's guess, but I would not bet against annual, seasonal price rises. Maybe what we need is a futures market on Thai Pussy. 555.

In line with the post below and what someone said a few days back, cheap is very 'relative' in 2019.

I'm spending an entire month (closer to 4 weeks) in BKK and exclusively at Thermaes before starting my next job back in the States in 6 weeks. To me it's not about looks or if the girl is worth it or not, but rather what's in my budget and what I'm willing to lose. Kinda like gambling I guess; a personal decision not impacted by external factors.

[Member #4698]

I have yet to see or have a Thai gal (and this is in my 20 years here), whose looks and service are worth over 100 USD to me. Sorry, it's just not.

That's really harsh. In my last visit to Bangkok in 2015 I saw, in Nataree alone, many gals who were worth above US $100.

I hope you guys don't mind me saying this, but this particular discussion is totally subjective and pointless.

Goatscrot does not like the BKK Go Go scene and he is not alone in this view point. It is entirely up to him whether he engages or not. I have no argument with what he prefers to do with his own cash and time.

Houston Player and others have a different point of view which I happen to share more or less. Again IMHO, our individual preferences are totally subjective so unless I am out barhopping with a fellow punter and we are discussing the girls at hand, I don't really see the relevancy of this. Tastes vary and the amount of cash we are willing to spend on girls varies as well.

Recently I was discussing the attributes of various girls with Smoothy and as the conversation progressed it became clear that we have very different tastes in girls. That's fine! I respect our different tastes plus I know he has a large knowledge base which he is willing to share, especially on Jakarta. He can find his type and I will find my type. Sometimes in the same Bar, but often different tastes will lead to a preference for different bars and venues. Its all good.

Turgid, on my last visits to Nataree, just before it was closed down, I found a number of attractive girls and I did partake on numerous occasions. HA HA. Was it worth the $100 and more that I paid? Well, I paid the price and came back for more, so it was obviously ok for me. But for someone else it might have been totally not worth it. The price is what it is. Other BM's can choose to pay or not pay for whatever reason. I don't care.

So, what this forum needs are more reports IMHO. Where did the punter go, who and what did he find there, how much did he pay, and was he happy afterwards. Now reports can be very subjective too, but at least they contain some specific information good or bad which might be useful. I am more inclined, however, to read and take seriously a report from someone I know, knows what they are talking about or with whom I share similar tastes.

The cute Ann from Mango long ago. To have someone like her now, I would pay more than that. She's the only one.

[Goatscrot]

Yep, prices are getting crazy in Thailand. Last time I was in Buenos Aires, the USD was 1 to 1 exchange rate with the Argentine Peso and girls wanted between 100 to 300 USD short time (100 if I pulled them from Cattos or Hook and 300 if I pulled them from the upper class place called Black). Glad to hear the prices have dropped due to their recent economic crash. However, I hear the scene there in BA is not anywhere near as fun as it was back when I was there.

Prices in Venezuela also used to be pretty expensive, but they are dirt cheap now if you are brave enough to venture into that country.

I also hear Angola is cheap now. The girls there are hot. Way hotter than the black girls you see in the streets of Bangkok. Bad infrastructure there though.

Bangkok has it's advantages since it has great infrastructure and it's never boring. These other countries are pretty dead during the day hours.

Clubs in BA are all closed as far as I know and that is where the high prices were. I would imagine Venezuela is amazing at the moment. If I was back in that hemisphere it would be top on my list and I'd be on my way. After it settles just a bit, mongering there will be incredible for a few years as they get the economy back on track. Might be out last chance to have a really great time without paying a fortune. Sad I missed out on Eastern Europe in the early 90's. Man, great looking Czech gals for 10 bucks. Must have been wonderful. People were frightened of Cambodia and stayed away in the late 90's and early 00's, and that is why it was so good. I loved it. Angola, well, I'm just not into black chicks.

[Smoothy]

As far as GoGos are concerned, the price is just insane IMHO. 1k-1500 BF plus gals wanting 2.5-3k ST. Add in drinks and ST room and you are getting close to 200 USD. Friend is here from BA, Argentina and showing me what he pays about 40-50 USD for ST. Man, some amazing talent. And pop down to Jakarta and prices are more in line as well. Thailand is just not great value in P4P now. Too many tourists year round and fewer and fewer residents.

How do you know the pound won't go up? That reminds me of the people who were saying the US stock market would plummet if Donald Trump was elected. However, it sky rocketed after he was elected. They were dead wrong.

Of course I don't know that for sure. Nobody knows for sure what will happen. I just think the Brexit will have a major impact. Much more than the election of Trump.

[Mogwai]

In other words, CNN is fake news since they were reporting/predicting the market would drop if Trump were elected.

Just because they were wrong doesn't mean it was fake news. A prediction about the stock market can never be fake because nobody can ever know for sure what will happen. Not without foreknowledge anyway.
It's just a prediction, not a fact.

[Goatscrot]

This might be a good time for the Thermae report I mentioned in my earlier post.

Somewhat inadvertently, I conducted an informative (to me) and unofficial survey over the course of three months where I, a 66 year old Caucasian punter, happened to take three different girls, 1 each month, from the left side of the Thermae line up. That side is often referred to as the "Japanese Only" or "Japanese Preferred" side of the bar. Well, I question that assessment. For certain individual girls, of course, they have an ironclad rule on that point, I am sure. But I know it is not true for the whole side or perhaps even most of the girls on that side. I can see what guys mean by it, though. That side seems to have the most or highest percentage of girls stereo-typically thought to be the preference for Japanese punters and who seem to only or mostly indicate interest in going with a Japanese customer.

The girls on the left side are usually better looking with prettier faces, are taller, lighter skinned, slimmer, younger, have better racks or at least something enhanced or natural that can create cleavage. The girls on that side of the bar are the most fully visible from head to toe as they stand there far enough away from the S shaped bar for us to get a good look at their body. This is as opposed to the girls who sit perched on the stools (some standing) around the bar and on the right side of the room as you walk in through the front door.

Each of the three girls I took from the left side during this little casual "test" qualified on those appearance counts.

I should interject all the usual qualifiers and caveats here: There is no way for me to know for sure what they charge other customers, how they behave in the room with other customers, how they treat other customers in the room, whether what they told me in the room was true or a bald faced lie, what they are willing to do for other customers, how much money it would take for them to finally do for me what I needed and preferred, I realize only three "test" subjects is a small sampling, etc. Therefore, YMMV applies as much to this "test" as any other time.

There were a lot of similarities with those three girls in this casual three month "test". Each time, I arrived between 9:30 PM-10:30 PM. In each case, I never got past the left side of the line up, never made it around the room once or even all the way to the back of the room before one of the hotter girls on the left side agreed to go with me at her going rate (as far as I know) of 2,500/3,000 baht for ST. None of the girls smiled at me first, all waited until I smiled broadly at them and I made a simple "Sawatdee krup" (Hello) greeting in Thai. Then they lit up and smiled back. One reached out and grabbed my arm after that. Two had arrived in their own car, parking for two hours free at the nearby Sofitel Hotel and drove with me to my nearby apartment.

Under these circumstances and considering the conditions in Thermae are horrible for negotiating something so far off the modern Thai P4P menu as an upfront agreement to provide a BBFS+CIP, I only negotiated something upfront with the last of the three. That was for a BBBJ+CIM. Otherwise, I decided to do the old "go with the flow and see what happens in the room" bit and, unfortunately, none of the three experiences flowed into a BBFS+CIP result in the room.

I performed DATY on each of the three. And in each case, the girl was not an easy cum. I had to quickly switch from one technique to another, summon all my decades' long DATY acquired knowledge until I found the secret formula for each. Once found, they all seemed to greatly enjoy and appreciate it, as though cumming that way or almost any way during the course of this part time job of theirs was a rare occurrence indeed.

The first girl was actually the only remotely erotic experience of the three for me. Ironically, she was the most adamant about everything being covered at all times no matter what. She pulled out some oil to put on my dick and balls. I told her I really didn't like oil on that area of my body. She seemed crest fallen. Ok, the idea was for me to "go with the flow" and give these girls a chance to show their stuff and demonstrate what all the fuss is about taking one, right? So I let her do her thing. However, as I expected, her thing with oil and a condom, even for BBBJ as mere oral foreplay, only got me up and capable of her riding me cowgirl style for a series of apparently terrific orgasms for her and did nothing to get me closer to finishing wearing a condom. That same thing can happen for me even without that goddam, sticky oil. Maybe she is the one who likes it for her own pleasure.

Therefore, for me there was no finish. And I knew there was not going to be a finish for me as long as a condom was on me. But I paid her the agreed upon 2,500 baht anyway. The other two did provide BBBJ, supposedly attempting to provide a BBBJ+CIM. But their "skills" at this, even with my calm and seemingly well understood instructions, were just hopeless. Consequently, I did not finish with any of these three left side Thermae test subjects. And none of the three seemed to be all that concerned about my not finishing except maybe the last one who I negotiated a BBBJ+CIM with upfront in a booth she insisted I sit in to chat about it first. But her "skills" were the worst of the bunch so I had to abort that mission and insist I was fine without finishing.

In none of the three cases was I inspired to get their Line info for a follow up or a repeat. And none of them asked me for mine.

Again, only three test subjects with these likely "Japanese Only / Preferred" girls is a small sampling. However, it was enough for me to decide that from now on when a hot girl on the left side of the Thermae line up as well as anywhere else in or outside the bar agrees to go with me, I will now negotiate for an upfront agreement for everything important to me in the session. If she balks about it or says no, fine. Next. There is always another one in Thermae. I have had quite good experiences with other Thermae girls fairly recently, let's say 8's to those other girls' 10's by Thermae standards, even during the course of this "Japanese Only / Preferred" test. And a 2,500 baht ST with one of those cute or pretty, young girls is still less costly than many other options around town. But not all other options, for sure.

If they are regulars at Tmae and providing that type of service, then I guess there are dudes that are satisfied with it. I do think that overall the current crop of punters is far less demanding than the generation that was here in the late 90's early 00's.

[Goatscrot]

Goatscrot I respect you and your posts on this forum for your opinions and advice that you have given over the years. But you sir are sadly living in the past. The only reason I can see that you are unable to find beautiful and excellent performing ladies anymore is because you are unwilling to use the Social media and gogo bars to find talent. It does require more time and effort to find quality companions than in the past however they are still here. By limiting yourself to the spas you are limiting yourself to the quality available in the spas. If I'm correct you also have a live in girlfriend which naturally limits your ability to search for talent.

Since I moved here 10 months ago my largest dilemma each day is which of my many regulars I am going to see today because I surely can't see all of the ones that want to meet me each day. My requirements closely resemble those of EihTooms less the (cip).

I will be 70 in July so age is no excuse. I do spend multiple hours weekly finding and keeping new talent. I do mostly freelance and gog girls but occasionally will date a girl you doesn't think she is a hooker. I never lie to them about wanting a serious relationship I always tell them I only want friends no girlfriend. I normally don't go with girls over 28 years old or 45 kg depending on their height. The regular non hooker ladies (they don't except money for sex) are some of the horniest women I have ever met. Every civilian that I have taken out at least twice has had sex with me most on the first date.

If you would like to meet sometime and tell me your requirements I might let you look through my Line contacts and actually share one of my top perfomers with you just to prove I'm not full of shit and you can still get the quality of lady and service that you have always been able to get in Bangkok it just takes a lot more effort than before.

Greetings fellow Texan. Oh yes, I agree with you. There are plenty of gals on social media sites and most are willing to go for 1500 - 2 k. I have many friends who use them with much success as you do. Personally, I just don't want to nor do I enjoy putting in the kind of time and effort it takes to weed through the chaff. I don't enjoy the small talk, nor do I really enjoy the meeting up, etc. I have a gal that I have lived with for well over a decade and I truly enjoy spending time with her. When I want to partake, I like to walk into a place, pick out a gal, and have a PSE / GFE and then vamos. I've always been partial to brothels. I imagine if I did not have a live in my approach would be a bit more like yours, but I still would not want to put in that much effort.
As far as GoGos are concerned, the price is just insane IMHO. 1k-1500 BF plus gals wanting 2.5-3k ST. Add in drinks and ST room and you are getting close to 200 USD.

Thailand is just not great value in P4P now. Too many tourists year round and fewer and fewer residents. Although some bar owner friends in Pattaya are saying this is the lowest low season they have seen in well over a decade. Perhaps the insane prices are finally catching up!

[EihTooms]

In other words, CNN is fake news since they were reporting/predicting the market would drop if Trump were elected. I can't argue that.

Since the liberal media is also against Brexit, the effects it will have are likely also overblown by the media.

Your chart doesn't go back far enough to show that a increase like that over the course of a 2-3 year period was not only fairly common before Trump was elected, inaugurated or signed his first major economic legislation, there actually has not been as great an increase in the market since any of those events as we'd seen previously.

Go back 10 years and use the much more broadly diversified S&P 500 Index as the measure for USA Stock market performance overall rather than the somewhat irrelevant DOW.

Since December 22, 2017 when the current administration's first major economic legislation was passed, the S&P has gained roughly 7.6% or about 4.35% on an annualized basis (factoring in partial years). Ok, let's be unrealistically generous and go back to the January 20, 2017 inauguration. The S&P has only gained about 11.25% on an annualized basis since then. Going all the way back to the November, 2016 election, although there is no historic precedence for why we should, we have seen a roughly 14% per year/annualized gain since then. Compared to most recent years prior to the election, those are not particularly impressive results at all.
Just sayin'

[EihTooms]

...
That is when I headed over to Thermae and, for the 3rd time in so many months, take one of the better looking girls on the left side as you walk in the front door, the supposedly "Japanese Only" or "Japanese Preferred" side of their line up around the room. More on that later.

...
The better girls in Thermae may cost 3 K, not sure if that includes a Farang surcharge or not. Probably does. Some are clearly not worth it. There may be cheaper girls too. I have struggled to get a really good performance from any really good looking girl (preferably natural) from the Thermae recently. So I am clearly picking the wrong ones. So Thermae is a waste of time and money for me (not like the old days when the girls performed great all night).

Finally amongst all the whinning about the good old days someone posts how its done in modern BKK.

As an aside: "I don't go with girls over 28 years old or 45 kg depending on their height" is funny as fuck. Kudos to you!

[Guido88]

Almost true. Taxis are still so cheap that one can use them every day, and you can eat wisely healthier Thai market food very cheaply (without doing Maccas or KFC). I even know of Vegetarian food stands. You can also rent a room by the month cheaply. So its the sex that is getting expensive really. Clothes and shoes should still be priced okay.

Imported goods have ridiculous prices. The middle man agents make big money for doing nothing. King Power Duty Free is a rip off too. I don't buy from them any more.

Thais make so much less money than Farangs, for the lower classes. Its hard to understand how they can afford to buy their car and fill with petrol. Huge gap between the rich and poor here.

The Thai baht was even stronger when I first came here so it has merely recovered somewhat after bad economic times spread over 30 years and including world economy crises. When is the next one?

Would I spend $50 to $100 extra each day on a more fancy food and hotel or on sex? I would not waste it on the Hotel and food, personally. Priorities! Rebalance required caused by rising cost of mongering, and monger less frequently.

Syzygies.

Priorities? I don't plan to skimp on anything. For me food, hotel & sex are a package deal. I can only screw for so long.

When I first started visiting Thailand I loved the $30 short time for GFE sex plus great food and lodging options. Now with the price bumps, lack of GFE and changing service attitudes why pay the increased prices period?

Based on your posts I think we both share a fair number of years mongering. I have 47 years under my belt. No pun intended. We have both watched great sex markets go to shit. Looks like Thailand is heading downhill.

Better to change venues to visit that offer value.

Russia is on sale at 64 rubles to the dollar. Columbia offers decent value. Canada is on sale with the big drop in oil. When Bangkok starts pricing at FKK levels I would rather hit an FKK. I know its your area of expertise. Plus I like the white meat.

Doesn't make sense to chase Thailand of old which most likely will never come back.

I have Thailand, Germany & Columbia booked this year so far. Probably going to delete Thailand for somewhere else offering better value.

Just my. 02.

Best.
