[QUOTE=DDavies;2282668]Thanks for the details, FiddyCent.
So it now looks likely I'll be making two visits this month. Which gives me a chance to try things out properly.
I did see that other forum, but even with Google Translate, some things just didn't make much sense. I also saw that PrivatPrague had been blacklisted, but didn't understand why. Are you aware of the pricing change there? I got the impression that you pay 2000 Kč for the hour and basic service and negotiate with the lady for any extras once you're there.
So maybe for my first visit I'll try this place out, give back to this forum, then try SP Market out on my second visit!
Thanks for details about getting around, I'll use Uber as I have an account and whilst it is tracked, I'll just say that's where I went for the restaurant that evening!
Also thanks for details about how easy it is to get a SIM whilst out there. Had tried the T-Mobile app in hope I could get an eSIM setup without having to find a shop. But it doesn't seem possible.
Thanks again, and if you have any other advice would greatly appreciate it (especially with the visit to PrivatPrague). I assume taking is fine for paying, or would you recommend taking Kč?[/QUOTE]It is my pleasure to help out a newbie who promises to give back DDavies. Information goes a long way for others who follow after you and can be useful for the old veterans as well. Since you have two visits to Prague, I would carefully check out the schedules of the privats you plan to visit. Sometimes a girl who is listed won't be available due to overbooking, or she could just be having her time of the month. If you are dead set on going to Privat Prague, find two or three girls that you might choose and ask the operator to see who is available at the time you are visiting. Do that to avoid disappointment. You must remember, the guys who post to the Czech review boards are generally the locals who are used to paying 1500 CZK per hour and then pay for the extras on top of that. For the privat to now start charging 2000 CZK per hour, that represents a significant price increase, without any increase in service levels. To you, that is a mere 20 Euros, but to the average guy, that represents a 33% increase. Well if anything, you will get first pick of the girls now, especially if the locals are avoiding them. My guess is the 20 Euros extra won't break the bank. However, each increase represents an upward pressure on the market. It is already evident at Show Park, but if it infects privats, then everybody will be paying more. If every tourist pays this, then the locals are priced out. I do not blame the locals for this resentment. Just be smart about it and not flash the money all around. Prague offers a good setup, so everyone must do their part to preserve this. Tourists often come in and price out the market for the locals. If you don't believe me, try reading several pages of the German FKK forum. Prague is a victim of its own success.
The fact that you are making two visits may be an advantage or disadvantage. If you find success the first time, you are not guaranteed to find the same girl the next time you return. As I have stated before, the girl that I met at Privat Prague left for home almost immediately after my session with her. I have not seen any reports of her since. My suggestion is to have 3 names for every day that you plan to visit Prague. If you are there for 7 days, then I would make a list of 21 names spread out over 3 or 4 privats. That is to ensure you have options. For the guys who don't have time to do research, clubs and Show Park are better options. If you thought that 2000 CZK per hour is expensive for privats, the girls at SP charge that for 30 minutes. I can just hear the locals say "stupid tourist". The main advantage of Show Park is you get to look first before choosing. You may be able to find some gems at the various other clubs such as Neon, AAA, Sweet Paradise, and K5 Relax, but at those places, expect to pay even more.
One last tip. Listen to Bardy73. Pay everything in Czech Crowns. If you look at the websites, they do not give you a fair exchange rate for Euros or USD. Better to make use of your ATM and take out enough cash for the transaction. Some clubs like K5 Relax and AAA will allow you to pay for everything on your credit cards. I have done that before without problems, but I have read some horror stories where some clubs may try to skim your credit card. I know it was written somewhere on this forum, but there are at least one or two honest Forex booths, but I cannot remember where the guys said they were. Just stay away from the ones in the touristy areas. I need a reminder of where the best Forex offices are. I will post that question to the forum.
Good luck in your hunt!
