I think your first Butterflies girl was the rare gem
[QUOTE=Steve9696;2840016]I am sure I am paying some gringo tax but it doesn't worry me much. Billboard and Butterflies were both 4000 to girl and 700 bar fine. They gave the 4 K to the girl in the club in front of you but they probably have to rebate out if that. Bunny was 3000 and 1000.
Are you saying you personally have taken from Billboard and Butterflies recently at 3000 for the girl? Yes I spoke w Mamasan as I thought was the way here. My buddy is from Asia and that is standard. I am sure the group would benefit if you are saying that is wrong thing.
Happy regardless with my first two pulls.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the reports.
Unless I misread it, your "first two pulls" were the same girl from Butterflies and in all three cases you paid the girl's 3,000 baht quoted fee upfront in the bar, right?
Of course, Your Mileage May Vary as usual. But in my experience your getting a happy experience with the first Butterflies girl after paying her fee upfront in the bar was the rare exception result, a truely rare gem of a girl, while the result you got with the second Butterflies girl, your third pull that turned out to be a disaster, would be the norm in a pay upfront arrangement.
Additionally, I'm guessing you did not specify anything upfront before paying the money in the bar regarding DFK, BBBJ, BBFSCIP or whatever it was that made that first girl experience so happy but that the second girl felt she had no reason to provide anything. Which, unless you did get a specific upfront agreement for those things from that second girl, she is pretty much within her rights to refuse doing them and keep the 3,000 baht you paid upfront.
So, if that is how it was with no upfront agreement from her to do anything that you expected to happen for the money in order for you to be happy about it, "going with the flow and seeing what happens in the room" so to speak, then marching back to the bar to complain might have been interesting for all involved and might possibly have made the mamasan unhappy. But, imo, it would not have been an inspiration for the mamasan or the girl to give your money back or to do anything different for the next guy who comes along.
For me, unless I ask for it upfront before I pay the money and get a clear and unambiguous Yes reply to it, it is highly unlikely it will happen in the room. No matter what it is. And paying the girl's fee upfront instead of after the sex session at any point whether it is paid upfront in the bar or paid upfront 5 seconds before gets into bed is the best way to ensure an unhappy experience for me.
A quick BKK trip: Cherry (Snow White), Soi Cowboy and The Pimp Club
So my amazing wife decided to surprise me on my Birthday with a weekend trip to Bangkok. Most of the time was of course spent with her but as a special birthday present she bought me a 4 hands 2 hour special massage (after I told her about Cherry). I had never been to the old Snow White but the set up is very similar to the old Devils Den. You are not going to find any 10's there but at 4 pm I got a selection of a dozen girls, some young, some older, some chubby, some skinny. Mama san told me which ones offer A+ (anal) and recommended a 25 year old. I also chose another 20 year old chubby girl (sometimes they try a lot harder). All in all a fully satisfying 2 hour romp. Non stop action, Anal, Rimming, Deep Throat and whatever else I wanted. Like directing my own porn shoot. Well worth the 4600 B plus 500 Beach tip I gave them.
Wife had read about the Pimp Club and wanted to check it out. I'm sorry but I don't see the point. Theres a minimum spend of 5000 B so we had to get a bottle. Cost to have a girl just sit with you for an hour was 2 K-3 K. Most of the girls had fake boobs and by no means were they all 8's or 9's either. I didn't bother with taking a girl or a private room so don't know what happens there. There was live music and we got drunk on our bottle so it was okay, but we could have gone to any bar in Bangkok for a good music without spending that much.
Finally last night wife and I checked out Soi Cowboy. Went into Suzie Wong, Afterschool and Sharks. Mixed bag of girls. Out of a dozen on stage maybe a couple were worth a drink. I bought drinks for a cute 22 year old in Suzie Wong and she was fun and interactive. Also bought some drinks at Sharks. Whats the deal with Crazy House at the end of the road? Asshole bouncers at the door saying "members only or 500 B entrance". Rude as fuck too. I've been in there before and it was a wild scene but I'm not paying 500 B just to look inside either.
If I go back ID stick to the massage joints around Soi 24/26 as it was by far the best experience and value for money.
Great posts. And the dilemma
So, have read all of Steve 9696's reports and found them very valuable indeed given my upcoming trip. His reports in other forums (London / Spain / Germany) are also very good. Following on from his experiences of Nana bars (recommends Billboard and Butterflies) I enjoyed the report from Expat American, mainly due to his experience at Pimp.
I tried Pimp last year and found it a cold experience, but I wondered if I didn't stay long enough? I felt I was being ripped off so left early. Despite this, I really like the idea of an excellent high end gentlemans bar where you can enjoy a whole night of on stage performances, VIP room pool, KTV with a few girls, fun etc. Yep - "expensive" by Thai standards, but not by European standards. Paying circa 12-15,000 baht equates to about 400 euros. Truth is that most guys who visit FKK clubs in Germany, or one of the top clubs in Spain (Vive Madrid, Scandalos Malaga, E92 Fuengirola) will very easily spend 400 euros in a night for an hour or so with one girl, entry, drinks etc. Ok it is very tempting, when its possible to go to a BJ bar in BKK or Pattaya and be well serviced for a tenth of that price to think its crazy to spend this sort of cash. But for a tourist to come to BKK and enjoy a night in a top club / top venue like Maria's, Black Caviar, Sherbet Club, M club, Elite (13 Thonglor) as a one off is not a bad deal. But only of course if the quality of the girls is top rate and the entertainment the same.
So here is a question for experienced BKK forum members, but including the recent tourists: assume you have 4 nights in BKK. How do you spend them? Easy to say 1 night Nana, 1 night Soi Cowboy, 1 night 7 Heaven, etc. But what of other options? Nobody reports on Soi Thaniya yet a see a YouTube video from Jonny recently visiting Sena Club there where some of the girls look really attractive. The recent videos of Thaniya look like there are a lot of good options. Would that be one of your four nights? Thermae? What about one of high end soapies. La Belle? Or even the quirky Stocking Massage Spa? My trips to BKK inevitably result in nights barfining from agogos. I would really like to look at other options this time, but am strictly limited to four nights. Budget is happily not a consideration. Don't like escorts so Thai Friendly etc totally out. That's possible the world over. And I hate bait and switch. I like to select from a (real not ipad) line up so I can see exactly what I'm buying (renting! So, how would you guys choose to spend 4 nights only if budget wasn't an option? Steve 9696 might STILL say he'the spend at least one of them at Butterflies? But I think the answers would illuminating. And of course helpful.
