Soi Nana Freelancer Pricing
[QUOTE=Syzygies;1896088]You could have tipped her for good service already, if you really wanted to help her. Generally these types of honest girls do not ask for extra money. I would have tipped her if she was worth more than 800 and I know a lot of others would not.
It's actually a very common theme that many hookers are single mothers, and some have other extended family members to support. Also a common theme to meet part time hookers like this, at least it was many years ago, especially in the Thermae and Nana Carpark areas.[/QUOTE]If you understand the pricing for Freelancers in the area known as the soi Nana, then you'll understand that the 800 I paid her is actually good. For those of you who don't know there is a standard pricing system for Freelancers in Bangkok.
After 18 years of living in Bkk, here are some of my insights. Just outside the Nana Hotel, where the parking lot is you will find younger Freelancers and lady boys. The younger Freelancers will be standing against the sign where it states Nana Hotel. These younger girls generally will ask anywhere from 1500 to 2500. Most will open the bid at 2000 and stand firm if they are young and cute. If the girl is not attractive of course she will be willing to settle for less. If you are old and unattractive, she will generally ask for more. But generally speaking most girls will be happy with 2,000 if they are young and attractive.
If it's late at night and they do not have any customers for that evening some of the younger and attractive girls are willing to settle for 1500. At 1 am or 2 am the bar girls also come out and become freelancers if they did not get a customer that evening in the bar.
As you walk further down Nana on the left and right hand side you will see women who are older. When I first started living here in Bangkok, these women would generally ask for 500 and you could negotiate them down to 300. Those days are long gone. However, the going price for these older Thai women are about 500 to 1000. Some old ones will go for 500. A lot of these women who are much older will settle for 500 and be happy with it. In Thailand, a Thai women who is 37 or older is considered old. I have seen Thai women in there 50s and 60s on soi Nana.
In my particular situation in my last post I stated that I paid her 800. That was her opening bid but she would have taken less. As in most Asian countries when you negotiate, the person selling the service always starts out at a higher price and expecting you to come down to a lower price. As noted in my previous post when she offered 800 and I took the offer without negotiating she was very happy. Therefore, my 800 payment was quite good.
It important to note that long Nana particularly in front of the Nana Hotel, the price of short time is simply ridiculous. However many guys over the years have taken the price the standard price 1,000 for young girls to 2000 or even 2500. I would caution anyone from paying these ridiculous outrageous prices. The only reason these girls ask for these silly prices because foreigners horny come here and throw money at these freelance girls. Bear in mind that for 2000 to 2500 you can have a very attractive lady from a massage parlor who's providing Full Service Plus a bath for up to 2 hours. So the idea of paying a freelancer the same price for one hour sex is silly.
Even though I like the freelancer I had, I will not spoil her for the next guy by throwing money at her and overpaying.
Western Misguided Ideas About Thailand's Sex Trade
The Western misguided ideas about why the girls in Thailand come to work in Bangkok in the sex trade is still kicking and alive. When I first moved here to Bangkok more than 18 years ago, it was that these girls are forced into contracts and shipped to Bangkok from the countryside to work in the massage parlors.
Even today this is still talked about on this website. There is a simple reality why hundreds of thousands of Thailand girls come to Bangkok to work in the sex industry. It is simply money! A girl from the poor regions of Thailand can hope to make $150 - $200 a month working in a factory 6 days a week. Think about it, would you work in a factory if you get paid $150 to $200 a month working every day and you're only off day is Sunday and you are working 10 hours a day. Of course not.
These girls come to Bangkok because they can make more money in one week than they can make in one month if they stayed home in their own small fram city. Sure, from time to time there are people who sell their daughters or have contracts for the girl to work and pay off the contract. But I would venture to say this is probably less than 1/2 of 1% of the millons of girls working in the sex trade in Thailand. Consider the fact that many girls work in the sex trade are Freelancers. There's obviously no contract involved there. These girls simply get up go out to the street in the evening for the money. They're in business for themselves and there is tons of Freelancers in Thailand.
So whenever I see someone write on this on this website Thai girls are forced to work in the sex trade, I laughed to myself because I know that they have no clue of why women work in the sex trade in Thailand. They are simply repeating what they saw on a western news Outlet. The Western news outlets are famous for rehashing the reasons why these poor country girls are forced to work in the sex trade in Thailand. The Western news outlets pretend as if there is no sex for sale in their own Western Country. Therefore they have to constantly focus on Southeast Asia and the prostitution.
Regarding the topic of girls under 18 working in MP, they have always worked at massage parlors in Bangkok and other massage parlors throughout Thailand. This is no new news. What happened at the massage parlor recently was that they most likely failed to pay their monthly fee to the police and they were raided. Or they refused to pay in incrase fee.
Rich Thai men and government officials enjoy girls under 18 and that's why they're provided in the massage parlors. If you think these girls are provided for your pleasure, you do not understand Thailand culture. You will find these type of girls throughout Thailand and working and all sorts of massage parlors. And many customers of these massage parlors are well-to-do Thailand man, policeman, and politicians. So whenever you hear about a raids because the girl was under 18, itwas because they did not pay the increased monthly fee. Or, a western news Outlet wanted to make a story for themselves so they approach the Thai government with rumors of a massage parlor that had girls under 18.
Of course the government has to follow up on it or the news outlet from the Western Country will write something terrible about the Thailand government. So the Thai government will go through the charade of having a raid to satisfy the Western news media outlet.
If it was left up to the women working in the western news media, westerner men would be restricted from traveling outside your Western Country in search of sex with beautiful young Asian women in Thailand. The Western woman would require you to stay in your own country and put up with their BS and provide them with their alimony and child support on regular basis. You would be required to tell them they are beautiful even though they are gaining weight at an alarming rate and becoming the size of a battleship.
