[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2887143]For the newbies: the quoted post is snark. He's not serious.[/QUOTE]Are you sure these latest ones are the unserious snarky ones and the earlier ones about buying 40 Lady Drinks for a Soi 6 bargirl and slipping an extra 100 baht note for her under each drink were not the ones where he was only kidding around?
Hehe.
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2887151]Of course inflation is existent in Pattaya, but 100% inflation is not existent. The price of what has doubled besides hookers, bars, and the tax that the government put on cigarettes? One company (I think it was Chang) tried to go up on their bottled water prices and the government told them they could cancel that idea.
If Soi 6 went from 1000 baht to 1050 baht, then we could talk about inflation. From 1000 baht to 2000 baht, then somebody is getting ripped the fuck off. Has the price of your 2500 baht room changed? Because the price of my 4500 baht room has not moved 1 baht in 15 years and I am sure inflation would affect the seller that is my landlord.[/QUOTE]Exactly. The level of mongering inflation shouldn't be double. Doesn't make sense. That's why I don't pay it and why as Explorer commented, I go to Thailand in low season for better pricing. At this point it seems like this EverythingThai commenter has a stake in bars on Soi 6 given the way he defends it.

Its price increases because they want to make more money from tourists, nothing else. Thank you!
[QUOTE=EverythingThai;2887112]So, in your mind, it seems that ST Soi 6 prices should be 1000 Baht plus the room and the girls are trying to move that to 1500 plus the room. I would say that you are sadly mistaken. Further, lets just say that you are correct and in your mind, ST on soi 6 should be 1000 Baht plus the room and the girls are now asking 2000 Baht plus the room. If that makes you want to take a break from Pattaya, you better just stop coming all together, as prices won't go down. Maybe Pattaya is just too expensive for you. It's funny about how some of us think inflation is non existent for sellers and only exists for the buyers. lol. So again, just don't come. You better not stretch your budget or you will be living in a fan room for 2500 Bhat per month the same as me.[/QUOTE]Stop this silly talk about "if pattaya is to expensive for you bla bla. ".
Its not about that, its about that the girls are adding +50-100% more than what they would ask from thaimen.
It did not used to be like that, prices used to be lower and more in line with what they ask from thaimen.
I can also go to Pattaya without breaking my entire bank account but I clearly see when they are setting special touristprices.
I add a little picture for you here so you can se the differance between what thais pay and what you pay.
[QUOTE=Frankypanky;2887200]As far as I know, the Agogo's are not too happy? Or the punters are skipping WS? IMHO, there is always a good time to go to Thailand.[/QUOTE]This is a Big One. Go anytime you feel like it is the Answer.
Pattaya is Dieing. Not in the sense it will go away.
But Business is down and 100 million Indians won't be the Cure.
[QUOTE=EverythingThai;2887137]I can't afford 2000 Baht LT in Pattaya. Are you kidding? That's almost the same as the monthly rent for my fan room. I still have that LEO from my trip to 7/11 and Catalpas. It looks a little shabby though. LOL.[/QUOTE]Not about you bro. I've decided to give you a Break. You seem a bit oversensitive. LOL.
Our Exploration Dude pays 2 k long time. Bargain or he get old Bargirls.

[/QUOTE]They know that very few Thai men have the money that is available from many farang.
I don't have a problem with suppliers charging different prices to different customers. Prior to retirement, I did the same thing with my consulting business. The enjoyable customers were charged less per hour then the unpleasant customers. One of my customers was charged triple compared to my most favored customer. I didn't want to work with certain customers unless they gave me lots of money. The girls are looking to maximize their incomes while having the most pleasant work experiences. Essentially the same thing that I did. Why not?
From the buyer's perspective, I'm happy to spend top money for top service from a hottie. I'll also pay top money for a non-hottie if she has provided exceptional service in the past.

Makes no sense.
I can't see Superstar Rainbow 4 girl who gets multiple customers a night doing favor to a Taxi guy and charge him 500 baht. LOL. Hahaha. Unless Thai man better than Mr Nakamura.
I can see a girl who works Rainbow and get no customers charging Taxi man 500 baht. Is she really charging 3 k if no one Bites.

If I want to go see ladies in Bangkok who normally deal with Thai clients, I can. I can speak Thai and have no troubles paying these girls their 1300 baht ST. CFS. I take advantage of all the options. Crack on mate and waste your time fighting over 700 Baht. I could care less. For me, time is money. If you want to waste time over 700 Baht, that's your choice, it's just not mine. To each their own. It's your money. Not mine.

If you don't get it by now, my CC alter ego is a parody of a well known ISger with many user names. In Pattaya, we know him as Jason Finch and on ISG we know him as 40 drinks, Raj Patel, and dam I forgot about all the others.
I recently had a great time at Club Fate. Two Laos girls working there really got it going on. Post coming soon.

Could not move in Pin Up and XS or farenhight. Moon go go didn't have many girls left as they got bar fined. I could go on..........

[QUOTE=SirLancelot;2886758]I'll be in Pattaya for three weeks in March (as well as 10 days in Philippines), diary incoming.
I've trawled back 100 pages but haven't found a lot of info about the new beer bar complex where Soi Made in Thailand used to be, I think it's called Myth. Any good? Does it have consistent barfine prices or is it all over the place like Tree Town?[/QUOTE]Passed by tonight and it was quite busy, not super full but busy. Nice music, and nice atmosphere. Spotted some beauties too, but here YMMV. I just checked a bar where I had a drink and then left and the girl asked 2000 for ST and 600 BF.
Enjoy.
