[QUOTE=NattyBumpo;2250980]
As for Jakarta: I really like Jakarta girls and its nightlife, but again quality does come at a significant price. This is NOT a Cheap Town although it was 15 to 20 years ago. [/QUOTE]One thing that often gets left out of price increase or comparison discussions is the spread. Over time this has widened considerably and there is now a much larger difference between new players and the higher end girls.
The current Jakarta girls in this discussion range from 500 k to 3 million, a 6 x spread. There was a time when any Blok M girl could be had for 100 k and a 5 star stunner would be laughed at for asking anymore than 250 k.
The other regions I play in have seen a similar widening of the market so it pays to know what the market rates are and where you want to play. 😁.
New girls are learning a little English, how to apply some make up and after buying a few sexy dresses are seeking multiples of what there starting rates were. Often ST only, CBJ and the like are now requirements as well. 😭.

Now it's 14500 to 1 (almost 6 times better exchange rate). If you multiply that 100 k by 5 or 6, you will get the actual comparison. So it equates to about 500 or 600 k now. The going rate is about 1000 k now, so prices have about doubled since then. They have gone up more than that in Thailand.
Indonesia is cheaper than Thailand because of that exchange rate. 14,500 to 1 is a fantastic rate. When I first came to Thailand in 1999, the rate was 47 to 1 for the THB. It is now a worse rate than that, so not only have prices increased, but the rate have gotten worse. I find Thailand to be pretty expensive these days, but I still like it.

[QUOTE=RobJones;2251252]3/ I have never had a Gogo girl offer anal, I have by freelancers. This you can negotiate before you bar fine.
4/ I am not 100% sure of Thai law to what the age of consent is, some hotels will not allow you to take a girl under the age of 20 into your room. There are 19 yo everywhere but some girls lie about there age believe it or not.
Have you done any research on dating apps and started to meet some girls to test the waters?[/QUOTE]Thank you very much. I really appreciate that you took the time to answer those questions.
I have done some research on dating apps, but most of what I have been pointed to is Thaifriendly, Thaicupid, and Tinder. Any advice on which ones you recommend would be great. I am going there early December so I think now is a bit too soon to start getting connections. To give an idea of my situation, I am a younger man, usually popular with women, and have a promising career. So I hope that the dating scene will not prove that difficult and that I can pickup some non-pros. But I want to enjoy the red light experience to the fullest.
Your advice on age is really good. 20 is fine by me and young enough. I'd rather avoid legal landmines. When in foreign countries, I like to respect their laws and avoid any unnecessary risks. One question I had is that you said that you have not had gogo girls offer anal- do you mean that as in "they have never been the one to bring it up" or as in "they have not been willing to do it"?

[QUOTE=NattyBumpo;2251085]So rather than waste time (time is money) and valuable jism I prefer places like Emporium, a mid level bordello, where you can find attractive girls and a more consistent high level of service. Prices start at Emporium at 900,000 idr (2000 baht) for regular girls and then go up to 1,200,000 idr (2700 baht) for the VIP girls. I wish I could report differently, but on every one of my visits the cute girls were in the VIP section and I noticed that most of the Indonesian customers felt the same way. As I posted earlier 3 of my 4 VIP Emporium girls were memorable and absolutely repeat worthy. Sadly, I only repeated with one of them.
Top end Malio Club and Malioboro Lounge have couch girls too, some of whom are very attractive. Over the years I have had some great sessions with these girls and only 1 mediocre session that I can recall. That is a high level of consistency. Malio & Malioboro prices start at 900,000 idr (2000 baht), then 1,100,000 idr (2500 baht) for preferred Indonesian couch girls, then rise to 1,700,000 idr (3800 baht) for Malioboro dancers, 2,000,000 idr (4500 baht) for some Malio Dancers to 3,000,000 idr (6800 baht) for other Malio Dancers. Don't ask me what the difference in Malio dancers is. So clearly one can see the two lines of distinction: couch girls are priced similar to BKK oily massage girls and the dancers are priced similar to BKK soapy sideline girls. I have left out the Imports which are priced at 2,200,000 idr (5000 baht). While in Jakarta I took a sexy, Asiatic looking, Kazak Malioboro girl upstairs one night and had a great time with her.
My conclusion is Jakarta prices are very similar to BKK prices. One might think there is higher quality of girls and service in Jakarta.[/QUOTE]Natty, from your posting on prices, Jakarta is still cheaper than BKK for the quality. GoGo gal is going to want 3 k ST and BF will be 1 k, add in drinks, ST hotel, and you are in excess of the 4500 you would spend on a "top-end" gal at Malio or 'Boro. Also BKK lacks the middle. Many of the old hags at the Beergarden are crowing for 2 k now. Gals in Thermae want 3 k and it is sometimes tough to get them down to 2. 5. SW and Tulip are great for performance, but yesh, looks are well below par. Also, seems gals in Jakarta are less likely to have a kid. You could also say the same for most of the 141 gals in HK. So you do tend to get better looking gals in those two cities than you do in BKK for the same money.
Guess it depends what you are looking for. I am not into GFE and don't need a sweetheart. I want a nasty 60 to 90 min, then I'm done.

[QUOTE=Crocodilexp;2251096]For a resident expat, though, Thailand is a shadow of its former self. The sex scene is getting worse every month, we're scraping the bottom of the barrel of Thai women in terms of looks. Even if it's still technically better than other places, the taste of disappointment is difficult to wash away. Going rates are now high enough that even though I can afford them, I always wonder if I should just jerk off and do something more fun with my money, and the answer is usually yes (with the exception of a few venues like Tulip or Snow White).[/QUOTE]Yep, it blows, and not literally. I'm with you. Love your quote from a few months back, "I'd rather spend the 2 k on a great meal and go home for a wank. " What used to be a three to four times a week habit has decreased to once or twice a month. Most of the time even with the small frequency I am disappointed. Really wish Tulip and SW would up the looks a bit. Don't think that will be.

FWIW, I know we have debated this in PMs but for others, my prices were as at the start of the Asian crisis when the exchange rate had collapsed to ~10 k: 1. Unfortunately, 2500 forex rates were before my time😭.

[QUOTE=Goferring;2251338]my prices were as at the start of the Asian crisis when the exchange rate had collapsed to ~10 k: 1. [/QUOTE]It would be nice to gauge all prices on a currency crisis. Unfortunately that didn't last long in Indonesia. It started in early 1998 and by the time I arrived in October of 1998 the rate was 6600 to 1 (and girls were 200 k at blok m at that time).
Venezuela has a crisis going on now though. It's surprising people aren't flocking from Thailand to Venezuela to get the cheap deals.

Price isn't everything.[/QUOTE]What are Oz prices, out of curiosity? $200 (5000 Baht) for 30 minutes? Or even more? Just a wild guess. In Thailand could get the whole night maybe? In Oz you have to do Asian girls to get any chance of a good time and reasonable price, is that right?
Are rub and tug joints, the way to go in Oz?

[QUOTE=Smoothy;2251256]The gogo across the street from Baccara right at the end next to that restaurant used to have some girls who would offer up anal as standard service. I'm not sure why that was, but the girls acted like they hadn't done their job until you had done their backside as well as their front. (and no, they were not lady boys) I'm not big into anal, but the girls acted like I needed to do that so I did. They also had an awesome lesbian show at that bar. I think the bar was called Our Place or something like that at the time. This was around 2007 or 2008 I believe. Then the arab bought the place and it turned to a worthless place with coyotes and no shows.[/QUOTE]Joy Ngwen maybe the name? Probably was associated with Suzie Wong at a guess.
Restaurant was Old Dutch there for many many years. Rumour that Crazy House make take over next year when Old Dutch lease ends.
Correction. It seems that "Our Place" was in between Joy Ngwen and Old Dutch. I never entered Our Place from memory. Smallish I guess.

My favourite bar was Sheba till it closed about 5+ years ago. A lot of fun staff, whether dancing or not. Before that I had liked Suzie Wong and Long Gun. After Sheba closed I was forced back to Suzie Wong until Crazy House took over my interest.
Strangely I sometimes went to Shark now in last 2 years, yet I had hated it, its music, and the way the dancers just shuffled a few years earlier. Girls had had horrible hair styles like Bacarrat. Shark at some point did a complete change and moderated to become a little bit closer to older style bars (unfortunately without nude girls), with better music for the old timers, and surgeries levels actually declined (somewhat).
Even more strangely I never became acquainted with the Cowboy Annex bars (completely gone now) at all in the years 1998 to 2003 or so, as I had a girlfriend for the period and did not get to sneek out much at night. before those years I had been mainly to Nana Plaza when it had full nudity. So I returned to the Cowboy only when I became aware it had full nudity and Nana did not any more, a few years late, like maybe 2004. By 2004 to 2006 bargirl prices had jumped significantly, but I did not know when it had happened, being away from bars for so long. I had come back with no clue of the going rate.

Maybe that's the place that is now that lady boy bar. Our place was right next door to the Old Dutch restaurant, there wasn't another gogo bar after it on the strip. I remember the girls at Our Place weren't allowed to get french fries from that restaurant because the owner had a falling out with that restaurant, LOL. I also liked Sheba back then, they had good shows and a good lesbian show as well. The one girl with the big silicone tits was kind of their superstar at that time. I think her name was Jay or something like that. I took her a few times, but I took a lot of girls from that bar. Our Place was my favorite back then, but Shebas was close behind.

For old times sake, I went into Mandarin, upstairs, on Monday night. Haven't been in their in 5 years? After putting pushy Mamasan in her place and getting a frosty beverage, I watched the talent. There were a few skinny eels there that caught my eye, but not with a 1500 Coyote bar fine, no thanks. Maybe Ill go back and buy one a lady drink and slip her my card.
For those of you in the quick gobble department, the talent was atrocious looking at Magic Table, Kasalong, [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord900][CodeWord900][/url], and Dr. Wood. A mouth is a mouth I reckon, but it should have some attractiveness around it, otherwise just roll down to Sanam Luang.
The ones outside of Eden Club made my little head go Turtle.
I feel my inner pervert stirring. Its been too hot here and wandering around Suk makes me sweat. I feel a Pattaya trip upcoming.

Perhaps I was not yet attending Sheba. Would have to look at my old Sheba reports to see when I first started there. Joy Ngwen was definitely right next to Our Place, later was renamed just Joy, and as you say possibly is now Cockatoo if it is not in in "Our Place" premise. I would be surprised in had no go go dancers although was a very small bar.
Early 2000's Noi was tall pretty and tall (170) model type in Long Gun with great natural "see-Cups". I like tits like that. It's all about the beauty of the shape of tits for me more so than the size. So usually silicones causes distorted ugly shape for me unless girl really had quite good amounts of tit flesh already and silicone is down deep. I do take silicones girls but has to be a good job, not too hard and not too pointy or like coconuts. That eliminates about 90% of tit jobs for me. Similarly I eliminate over 90% of the bad nose jobs that look so silly. A good professional job still looks fine. I just like the curves and shapes to be almost natural looking and having beauty. It's not about wanting a big nose or big tits for me. Yet I would love to do Lucy "Buffy" Wilde the pornstar with enormous tits, because they are natural AFAIK, she has a sweet face, beautiful pussy, and slimmish thighs. Normally I am liking pornstars of pretty skinny model type, possibly with darker skin no problem. I have one regular girl with implants and another with a nose job (a good one). So not automatically ruled out at all. It's just that so many bad ugly jobs are around.
I think Sheba was a bar very low for surgeries when I went there.
