Bangkok Soi 1-33 Changing
Just back from short stay. Bangkok Suk 1 to 33soi has changed. I have been doing short trips to this area for 10 years and while I enjoy Thailand it is clear that the nana parking lot, nana plaza and soi cowboy days are much different than a few years back.
The area from soi 1 to soi 23 at one time was full of freelance. Today there are just a few ladies and the days of the 20 year old are gone. Most are sporting a number of years more. Please this is not a race thing (from Europe) but the number of Arabs and Africans on the soi's shopping almost exceed the Thai. The new store fronts do not allow the girls to stand around. Just a trend that there will be less freelance in the area.
Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy: These areas appear to be holding up but the prices are up. When you consider that you will buy a drink if not 2, plus the bar fine and all are now 2000 for short time and add a short time hotel you are at 3500 to 4000.
Nana Parking Lot. This is now a hit or misses. It appears the local police continue to visit and the girls can be there one moment and gone the next. Price is on average 1500 for short time add a short time hotel and this will set you back 2000 for an hour event.
My observation is that the free-lance is disappearing with the girls moving to the bars.
In short, Thailand Bangkok fun but costing more. Just the trend that is happening all over the world.
500 baht tip not good enough?
[QUOTE=Harold444;1324328]500 baht tip is so 1980s. LOL. If she has any looks at all 700 plus seems appropriate, espcially if she had to touch your anus. LOL.[/QUOTE]500 is double the minimum wage per day. I know the girls expect more from farangs. Why? It is because farangs are willing to pay far more than Thais and this way they push the prices up. This is not only true in the sex business. I have a friend who is married to a Thai girl. She always scolds him for tipping too much, in restaurants, legitimate massage places etc.
