Amazing Thai Board, I. E. , ISG
Nice to see ISG is still kicking. The usual suspects are here, in another body, with the same spirit. I like this, I like that, you are both dumb for liking this or that. I promise, I jest in a good way.
Read the latest info about what-not: Thermae, General Pricing, other stuff.
Qualifier / Note: Do not read me for current economic information. (I have not been active in BKK for about 10 years).
Thermae. Things have changed from your reports, not unexpected. Facts from my stay in BKK: $1000 Baht was the rate ST / LT. There were obvious exceptions, but one K in my day was the norm. That said, paying more did happen in the morning for whatever reason. My advertised norm was how I negotiated (I really hate that word, but it is what it is too).
But you can negotiate without making it look like a negotiation. Look on the bright side anytime. All she can say is no.
Maybe there is a deeper point. Let me think on that. In the meantime, here is a pretty funny story. At least it is to me.
First time alone on Sukhumvit, circa 2002.
It's hot and I've been meeting many people in BKK I'd met on ICQ. Yeah, they were all women, duh.
I'd said goodbye to the last one for the day and waved as the Skye Train departed. A long day (three or four days really).
Walked down the stairs from the Skye Train and decided to explore on my own. Walked a bit, realized I was getting hot, and sat down on some steps.
Within minutes a girl sits down and propositions me. I had no idea at the time, but I was sitting on the Thermae steps. I declined and moved on down the road.
I ended up at Nana Plaza and checked out several Go-Go bars. It was just like I'd read it would be. I could not believe my eyes! Other stuff happened, a story for another time, I left the GO-GO bar just before close.
Back outside I was still wanting excitement, nothing super exciting had happened, even though I'd seen some things for the first time, still restless.
Walking out of Nana Plaza, I (literally) bumped into someone. It was the same girl from Thermae. She was a little miffed and wanted to know why I was here after I didn't go with her. I didn't know what to say, so I went on a walk with her after she suggested it.
She was hungry and I said hey, I can eat too. We went to some food stall on the side of the road and I learned about Thai noodles with meatballs and other amazing things.
After the food, she wanted to walk some more, I was quite OK with the idea, so we walked.
She was a clever girl, asking a couple of personal questions that made you want to answer, followed up with where you stay?
Since I knew we were getting close to where I stayed, I knew I had to make a choice or not. On cue, she asked where I stayed when we were about 50 meters from the place, so I pointed and said, I stay there.
What follows is obvious (Summary):
Came three times.
First time from sex.
Second time from be. J.
Third time from sex.
In between was full of listening to her life story:
1) a kid.
2) a divorce.
3) Mom takes care of kid while she is working.
I called her out on this the next morning and was shocked when she said OK.
She took me to her apartment somewhere between Soi 30-50, and there it was, the kid and her mom taking care of her child.
Now here is the exception to the rule I mentioned.
It was time for me to leave and she saw me out the door. This is the first time we ever talked money.
She looked at me and said, "you come three times all night. ".
I looked in my wallet and there was 5 one thousand Baht notes. I kept one and gave her four. I've always wished I'd given her five.
So there ya go, scrutinize my story until you're done.
I can neither confirm nor deny that most times, I was a normal punter, paying as little as possible.
And I am thinking, you would not believe me anyway. . . .
