Well
[QUOTE=FLHawk;1941027]If you come from the US, as I do, 2 AM in Thailand is 3 PM for me back home.
That said, being tired from the flight over, even with a nap after arriving at the hotel, I find I soon get tired that night from lack of sleep. I mean, I leave LAX at just past midnight, tired as I am still on eastern time, but I can barely sleep on the airplane, so when I arrive the next day at what is late at night for me back home but noon locally, the daylight is telling my mind I should be awake, even though I am tired. I stay awake for a few hours to get to my hotel in Pattaya, and maybe I can nap a bit before going out as my body is very tired but the mind says to be awake. The sleep deprivation eventually catches up and, while mid-day back home, locally it is dark, and my body overrules my mind and demands sleep. So, I go back to the hotel and maybe though the mind is still saying it is early afternoon, the body wins and I will go to sleep, and I will sleep until the sun comes up. And, just like that, it seems I am then acclimated with the local time and will thereafter wake up by 9 AM, and I will want to sleep soon after midnight. As mentioned, you can combat this (going to bed at midnight) to some extent by taking a nap in the late afternoon or early evening.
But while I can acclimate to Thai time in a day or two without trying, when I go home, it take two weeks! It is a killer.[/QUOTE]I'm from the US also. I mean I'm tired in the US at midnight or before. I guess my point is assuming one adjusts to the time differential. Still. Staying up until after midnight. Or 2, 3, 4 like some of you do for the discos (which I'd like to do) is very difficult, if not impossible for me. Heck, I can't stay up until that late at home. Why would I be able to do it in Pattaya? Oh sure. There's a little more motivation, ha. But still, tired is tired.

[QUOTE=Adrena;1941983]I don't care about the next punter, or the previous one either[/QUOTE]And that's one reason why the prices spins upward and the services downward. Not to care about the next punter or the previous is equal to not care about the market. Overpaying and over tipping contributes to price hikes. Price hikes are not good to anyone.
For most punters a main reason to come to Thailand is that the ladies services are affordable. What happens when more and more punters thinks that the prices here are not affordable anymore?

My first night in Pattaya: Hit the Walking street. Immediately it reminded of the one I had experienced in Phuket years ago, but on acid and massively longer. Started off with walking street, christening my Gigi bar tour in Peppermint. Cheap beer, decent selection of girls but not many seats near the stage, still however miles better than what I had in Phuket. Here I met up with a Swiss guy who knew the city much better than I did. On to baccara with him: two floors, still cheap beer, and nice staff. Second floor has glass stage through which you can see the bottom floor, girls here were shorter and in scanty uniform wear, likely to appeal to Asian customers. Here an American expat guy suggested. We both join him at his favorite go go though with much more expensive drinks. The bar was called sapphire, and was on a side street from the walking street. My jaw dropped when I went In. Proportion of girls to customers that I had never seen before. 3 stages /4 with couches chairs, white colours, and perhaps 30-40 girls at least, loved the atmosphere, French maid dress, flamenco dancing on stage with matching music. Bar fines In walking street Gogos are about 1000 and the girls can go upwards of 4000. My friend then took me to soy phukao where we stopped at a beer bar and this girl serving me caught my eye, my Swiss friend insisted on negotiating on my behalf. 300 BF 1500 for all night. Beautiful dark issan girl, amused by my attempts to speak Thai, passionate, bath together in my room, patient, playful, skilful with her legs. Amazing, stayed till 12 the next day. Even had her own bike to drive here. I adore this place. As easy going as phuket with bars that run all night. Abundance of girls better and more available than Bangkok. Prices better than both. No place like this, hope to see angeles city too one day though I'm curious to hear people's preference. T

Thanks.

You've been doing this for decades and you guys are all just talk, talk and no action!
You can't make America Great Again, with this kind of attitude, low energy or complete lack of stamina!
The Thai Military should build a wall to keep people like you away from crossing the border, and make The Philippines pay for it.

Wake up around 10 pm shower shave and grab something to eat. You should be good to go after that.

[QUOTE=StreightUp;1942255]What does BF stand for?[/QUOTE]BF=Barfine. The fee you have to pay to a bar for taking a lady away from the bar to go with you. Then you also have to pay the lady an amount for her services.

[QUOTE=StreightUp;1942255]What does BF stand for?[/QUOTE]BF = Bar Fine, a fee you pay to the establishment for the privilege of taking a girl out. You then have to pay the girl her own negotiated fee for the privilege of inserting your bits into her bits (or the other way around as the case may be, I'm not judging). So 300 BF and 1500 all night = 300 to the bar, and 1500 to the girl, 1800 in sum.

You think I don't care about the market in Pattaya, and you'd be right. There is always another destination I could go if I stop enjoying Thailand. Right now, I think their prices are fine. The day I believe they are too expensive, I'll move on to a new playground, simple as that.
In your final sentence, you asked a question with a very obvious answer. The mongers will move on! I bet most of the gentlemen on this board could name several others cities worth a try.
Now, some of you actually live in Pattaya. I understand your concern with prices and tipping. That's a different situation than I am in, so I can't approach it in the same manner as you lucky fellows. I'm here for a short time, and I want to enjoy every minute. Stressing out over tips isn't something I'm willing to do. I want to treat Pattaya like a dream, not like a business transaction.
