Short time bars on the 6.
[QUOTE=Crocodilexp;2212425]Busting people for sex in Pattaya of all places is disheartening, have to admit. However, the important thing to note is that sex on the premises of the establishment (e. G. Above the bar) is illegal. Taking a girl to your hotel room should be fine, and I don't think they'll start raiding random hotel rooms anytime soon.[/QUOTE]Is there really a likelihood of a bar on Soi 6 being raided while one is upstairs with one of the bar staff? I hope not as Soi 6 and the short time rooms and girls are some of the highlights of my trip.
Less fun now for old guys
[QUOTE=Crocodilexp;2213599]Oh, there's plenty [I]new about that[/I], at least when it comes to Pattaya.
Just ten years ago, it wasn't at all like that. In fact, girls were often saying they prefer older guys since they would typically be more generous, demand less bang for their buck, and are easier to hook in a longer term game. Of course, they normally say what a customer wants to hear, but there's usually at least a small grain of truth to it. Sure, they might prefer a young guy who pays big bucks, but such guys were rare unicorns and competition from other pretty hookers was plentiful.
This scene where decent-looking prostitutes are so scarce that they can BOTH be excessively picky about customers AND regularly get the sizable amounts of money is definitely a new thing in Pattaya. They rarely even try to play the longer term game anymore.
In the 2000's, I was relatively young (and handsome), and I remember being just slightly disappointed that I'm not really pulling any better chicks from bars or Beach Road than a 60-year-old drunken Hans with a huge beer belly. My consolations was that when I get old and decrepit, I'll still be pulling those hot Thai hookers. Alas, that is not to be.[/QUOTE]Absolutely 100% accurate.
