[QUOTE=Opebo]Even in Bangkok, even in 2008, there is no need to put up with so much nonsense - happily the economy is getting worse and we are being put, however temporarily, back in a position of some power.[/QUOTE]
With the poor world economy and lowering of tourism to LOS you should be happy as I expect locals are getting better value or better service for prices paid.
However... in typical form I have found that the girls who are working the tourist areas are upping their price and "Joe the visitor" is paying it.
I wish every visitor had to read this forum or a post on pricing before they go as the numbers I'm hearing is crazy. And I spend generously as it is.
But even I'm shocked by what I am hearing. I don't mind paying a fee then adding on top for good service but the figures I've been first offered since the beginning of the year and now are just going up and up.
I'm back in town in a few more days and my mate told me about a girl who wanted 6,000 from soi cowboy last weekend and he rightly so laughed in her face and she quickly came straight down. But there is a reason she is asking so high.. because some idiots are paying it or considering it.
