Excellent, level-headed insight
[QUOTE=SubCmdr;3036805]The idea that the only way to know what prices are is to go into the venue and ask is bogus. Those of us who have visited a venue recently can give you exact prices or ranges. The only reason some says you cannot know is because they don't know.
[/QUOTE]Thanks, Commander, for bringing the topic back to task. With a range in price, I get a better idea in my head of what is reasonable and what may be perceived as the girl clocking me as an easy mark. My aim is to stay inline with market prices. Not to be a cheap charlie to brag about how I banged the same girl you banged but for half price, nor to be a scammed weekend warrior to start inflating price expectations.
My frustration with this site has turned to generally abandoning it due to so many non-answer answers that overwhelm the count of the site.
The sites order of usefulness.
Trip reviews with numbers = That's what this site is here for.
Direct answers = Great.
Speculative answers with caveats = Good, helpful point of reference.
Non answer replies that pad the stats and clog the search filter = Waste of electricity, time (writer and readers), and server space. This is why RTFF has yielded such a high amount of little value, and if it is there it is from years ago.
Again, thanks.
Nice hotels and good food
[QUOTE]So this was a question about good food, which is why I didn't bother with the hotel section.[/QUOTE][B]Grand Centre Point Pattaya[/B], there is a fine dining buffet in the hotel that was one of the best I have ever eaten at in my life. Plus the range of restaurants in [U]Terminal 21[/U] next door will keep them eating a different cuisine ever meal for their entire trip.
[B]Grande Center Point Space Pattaya[/B] has a roof top hotel with views are are amazing. Get there before sunset and be amazed.
[B]The Chocolate Factory[/B]
Search Michelin Star Restaurant in Google Maps.
Now if you want to go to the next level when it comes to restaurants [B]Cockbang[/B] (aka Bangkok) is the spot!
Everyone has a different standard of value
[QUOTE]The best value girls are going to be on [u]Thai Friendly[/u] or club freelancers as there as no barfines or lady drinks. The reason the Soi 6 take out barfines are so expensive is because they don't want the girls to be barfines. Looking for long times in Soi 6 is like looking for a steak in a seafood restaurant.[/QUOTE][B]Thai Friendly:[/B] you are taking a risk on what the girl who show up at your door looks like. Unless you meet her for an interview so that you are not dealing with a problem at your door or in your room. I know that there are claims that 1300* Long Time is available. That has not been my experience. Usually older (and that is relative to your own age a personal preferences) girls will accept 2000 for Long Time. But younger more attractive girls are going to ask for 3000 Long Time. With the girls that are smoking hot asking for 4000 Long Time.
[B]Soi 6[/B]: Bar Fines between 500 - 1000; with [I]Long Time 4000[/I]. If Long Time is two shots that the same value to me as [I]Short Time for 2000[/I]. So, you are getting the stranger to sleep with you (something I am not comfortable with) for free. Along with her time. If you are bar fining for long time before midnight then there won't be any other expenses if all you do is head to the room and bust that first nut out, sleep and bust another nut in the morning before she leaves.
[B]My favorite is short time![/B] Last time I was there (on Soi 6 - 7 days ago) room costs were 300 - 500 and amounts quoted to me were 1300 - 3000. That being said my personal preferences are Gentlemans Clubs, Naughty Massage Places and [U]Thai Friendly[/U]. But even as [U]Thai Friendly[/U] can represent an excellent value overall, for me nothing beats being out on the street or up in the the bar / club and getting that direct 1 on 1 personal interaction with the potential prostitute you plan to hire.
