Not too much or too little
[QUOTE=Bkkdog;2259266]Oh god! We have price police for paying too much and price police for paying too little. We have the safe sex police and......
What the hell is this? We can't win with you guys can we. Better we stop mentioning what we pay then and the rest of you can figure it out on your own. Do you want that?[/QUOTE]I didn't say he paid too little. I asked a question. Which I suppose only he can answer. Although, if others derive satisfaction by winning a negotiation over $9. 14 I suppose they might chime in as well.
Thanks for the Considered Response
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2259307]Satisfying? I have explained this before. On Soi 6 there is no set price. The only thing set is the bar fine or room fee. The amount you give the girl is negotiable. I have always given chicks on Soi 6 700 for short time and 1000 for long time, and I have reported doing such. Not my fault people here walk in and take the first price they are given.
Just like last night when me and my brother walked into a tailor shop and asked how much to make a shirt. He said 1000 baht. I said come on man you know that is too much. Then he said 800 baht. Now when I go to him and tell him I want 5 shirts etcetera, I will end up paying 700 baht for each shirt. But of course $9.14 means more to the tailor than it does to me right? Maybe, maybe not.
But the way things work around here is through negotiation. It is just that most people don't understand that and take the first price they are given. So who is really being taken advantage of? The bar girls that gets "out-negotiated" or the punter that does not know to negotiate? No chick is going to go for less than she is going to go for and no tailor will sell a shirt for less than he is going to sell it for.
P.S. It might stand to reason that the guy that did it all the time would have less money. The guy that only did it every blue moon maybe could afford to splurge. If I go into the club once a year then maybe I will get $150 bottle service. If I go into the club every other day then you think I am going to do that?[/QUOTE]Thanks for responding in a constructive way. I would only ask that you consider the following. How long have you been paying 700? Has not Thailand experienced cost of living increases in that time? Perhaps 800 (+$3) or 900 (+$6) is more appropriate and you still didn't take the first offer. Then since Thai girls are like a box of chocolates you never know what you will get top her up to her asking price or more after the fact with a tip depending on the experience.
