[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2914594]I have no Vendetta against you little fella I just know who and what you are.[/QUOTE]Actually, you just think you know who and what I am Mr. Keyboard warrior. [B]That is ok with me.[/B] Because I am not worried about what you think.
[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2913861]Mess Boy, you are one of the saddest folks I have ever seen on a message Board about Thailand, and I go back to the old days of the Nanaplaza forum.
Obsessed with the Klan I see, again the white hood imagry. Beyond the fact that such references mark you as even more of a bufoon that your posts in general show, I wonder, is their some psychological inadequacy involved, or projection, or trauma? You should seek help and your not going to get it in Pattaya banging Coconut Bar girls.[/QUOTE]
The Cmdr offers his insights
[QUOTE=Vendelo;2914642]I started hobbying in Thailand in 2019.[/QUOTE]I first arrived in Thailand in 2023.
[QUOTE=Vendelo;2914642]And I envy those who hobbied long time ago.[/QUOTE]Why is that? I know I don't. I live in the present. How can you envy the memory of an experience you never had? Personally I don't get it. Now I can think back to pleasurable experiences I had in the past. But that all they are: pleasant memories that get idealized over time. But they don't get in the way of my current fun. I live in the present.
[QUOTE=Vendelo;2914642]Why do you think overall talent has declined?[/QUOTE]Who says it has and how can your verify that? When I was a kid I paid. 05 USD for 4 cookies. Now that the price of cookies went up it does not mean that the quality of the cookies went down. In fact, the cookies I buy today tastes as good as the cookies I used to buy for. 05 USD. Same same for pussy, mouth and ass. Still feels just as good as when it was less expense. [B]Pussy is Pussy[/B].
[QUOTE=Vendelo;2914642]Is it because there are more economic opportunities now for women?[/QUOTE]Being a prostitute is a choice. Unless someone is trafficked and that is illegal. I do not condone that. These transactions should be made between consenting adults. But we are all prostitutes. Unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, got your inheritance from daddy and momi and now travel the world and have private bankers in every country. We are selling our time, using our bodies and minds to make money. No one is any better up in here than the girls they pay to lay down with.
It is low season in Pattaya again. My Thai Friendly in box is blowing up. The prostitutes are soliciting business from me. I am low balling them and they are accepting.

[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2914819]Female talent is about the same as 20 years ago.
When guys get older, they forget about the dogs and just remember the good ones.[/QUOTE]You are keeping it 100.
[QUOTE=ExpatAmerican;2914400]I think the main point is not the cost. Everyone understands inflation. McDonalds meal could be had for $1. 99. Now its like 10 bucks. But WHAT they are serving is more or less the same thing. Consistent burgers and service. You know what you are paying for.[/QUOTE]I beg to differ with you. Others do also. Check out this post:
[QUOTE=KrumeLurer;2914535]There has not been any inflation in Thailand that justyfies price increases of 50-100%. And the prices asked in the tourist sector is not always the prices asked from the own population. You really think thai men are paying 35 year olds 1500 for a 30 minute fuck?[/QUOTE]You are making a point that is valid throughout the entire world. In every country there is a tourist economy and a local economy. You have to be a very special person to get a local price as a tourist. Half the time it requires no more than knowing how much the locals are paying and refusing to pay more. During low season that is very easy in Pattaya. During high season not so much. Simple supply and demand, the most basic market dynamics at work (Econ 101) or just google it.
In the places where I have established myself as a local I am not paying what tourists pay either. So, if you are doing the same as I do, then why do you care what the tourists are paying? I know I don't.
[B]Pro Tip[/B]: Stay focused on the deal and not the girl; be willing to say no; you are more likely to hit the price point that you seek.
[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2914575]I've now become one of those guys who look back at the Good old days. I thought I'd list some of the best gogo bar lineups I have ever seen, in no order. (edited) Likely forgetting a couple. Don't care if LD's have doubled since 2015. Would pay 2x more now if we could have the talent we once had.[/QUOTE]Correct me if I am wrong, but I bet the girls back then were charging premium market prices relative to what was standard at the time. In other words, those agogo girls were not going for the same prices street girls were going for. Am I right?
If I am right that means that quality can still be found at a premium price point. Or is everyone saying the the quality of even the top tier girls have gone down now.
[QUOTE=ExpatAmerican;2914400] The issue is that the product, Thai pussy, is no longer the same. Yes it is is still available but the body its attached to is now tatted up, fake boobs, fake nose and eyes and a mercenary attitude.[/QUOTE]I disagree with you. But then I do not have the reference point that you do. On the other hand, who the fuck cares. Sex is in the brain. I only need a girl to cooperate with me enough to give me reasonable access to her mouth, pussy and ass. I live in the present.
The product is exactly the same along with the bodies they are attached to. The problem is (and I am not saying this applies to you) is that many individuals complaining about the "Glory Days" are also unwilling to pay the premium prices that are required to pull the talent they are interested in.
When a restaurant changes it's menu I cannot order off the old one. My only option is if I have a special relationship with the restaurant is to ask the chef to prepare something special. If prices go up I must simply pay the new prices. Or I can find another restaurant to eat at.
As I roam throughout Pattaya, I see my asian brothers with girls that look like they could be models in the commercials I see on Thai TV. That's right, slim bodies, void of tattoos, fair complexions, hair did, nails straight and dressed like they just got finished with a "pretty woman" shopping spree. Oh yes, my fellow brothers, you can have what ever you like if you are willing to pay for it. Does not appear that my asian brothers let themselves be restricted by the amount of worthless fiat currency they are willing to pay their prostitutes.
Most of the individuals complaining are not willing to pay for what they want. I see it all the time. Complaints about certain visitors driving up the price. Stay home and make some damn money. That way you can spend it when you get wherever you are going.
I recently told a friend, do not think you are going to come here and get top tier girls (whatever the fuck that means) for 1000 - 1500 THB. But if you want to ejaculate, they will provide you with service.
[QUOTE=ExpatAmerican;2914400] Yes I know the glory days are not coming back.[/QUOTE]Good to see that you accept the reality of that situation. But I can argue that our best days lie ahead.
[QUOTE=ExpatAmerican;2914400] But for better or worse people have reference point in their mind that sets expectations whether we like it or not.[/QUOTE]They also have the ability to choose how to relate to that reference point. Complain about the Glory Days having passed them by or doing something about in real time to improve their results.
[QUOTE=ExpatAmerican;2914400]Good for you that you can only remember as far back as your last ejaculation. Many of us are not blessed with such selective and ultra short term memory.[/QUOTE]Damn straight. I feel sorry for people that do not have enough control over their own minds in order to live in the present. They look outward in order to place blame instead of looking inward.
If you want a girlfriend then you do what you need to get one. If you want "top tier" prostitutes, then you pay what you need to pay to get them. I keep it real. Prostitutes providing a service. I do not need the GFE fantasy. I have real girlfriends for that. I goto prostitutes for "he" Ho Experience. You are not going find me walking hand in hand with a prostitute. Taking them to dinner or shopping. Nor going on trips in or outside of Thailand. Or spending the night with them for that matter!
If I was dissatisfied with Pattaya (and I am not ATM) there is the entire country of Thailand to explore. If I found Thailand was not working for me anymore there is: Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan all within a short flight. Laos, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan all have my interest. Not because I have a problem with Pattaya but because I am interested in fucking the prostitutes that are available there.
You see I think everyone should go where they are treated best. If your eyes and your dick are not being treated well here in Pattaya, then ask yourself why are you here? Why do you visit?
When I got tired of the culture in LATAM countries I decided to take a break. Flew half-way around the world. What did I find? Pussy is Pussy! Latinas have better hardware overall. But Thai girls have much better software. This is no perfect pussy to be found, past, present or future. Although I am looking forward to going to a the first brothel staffed with sex robots.
