Thanks for all your suggestions.
Thanks for the great suggestions!
[QUOTE=MrHappyKat;2963177]My trip dates are set and I've booked air and hotels. Now I just need to find a door-to-door car service from my Bangkok Hotel to my Pattaya Hotel. And presumably, my Pattaya Hotel to the BKK airport 12 days later. I can see some car service websites through Google, but they seem expensive (3000 THB+) versus what I think a Grab or Taxi might cost at around 1500-2000 THB. Not really interested in super cheap methods like the bus lines. I don't mind paying for the private ride luxury, assuming the costs are not more than $50 (1800 THB) each way.
Any suggestions or referrals will be much appreciated.[/QUOTE]
Probably the best advice ever and so well articulated too
Thanks K 'everything Thai This should be mandatory reading before entering Thailand for everyone.
I'd just like to stress your point about "face" further. It is not very intuitive to understand, but once you do, it'll by far be the best tool in your kit. Helping a Thai girl save face, or giving her bragging rights has always led to amazing nights for me. It's very small simple things. A common example is from girly bars. If a girl is chatting up another customer for a drink and gives up after 10 minutes / after customer refuses, volunteering to buy her a drink. Or else picking the 3rd /4th best lookers to buy drinks / chat despite the best 2 being available etc.
[QUOTE=EverythingThai;2963030]Navigating interactions with Thai working girls in Bangkok can sometimes be a challenge, especially considering the many stories ranging from disengaged attitudes and mechanical experiences to refusals of BBFS and runners or girls asking for money upfront. As a result, it's essential to approach these situations with strategy and awareness to ensure you have a positive experience. Below, I'll share some proven tips that have worked for me over the years. While no method is foolproof, these approaches can significantly improve your chances of achieving a mutually enjoyable encounter. Bangkok is much more different than Pattaya guys.
1. Presentation Matters.
First impressions count. Ditch the ragged look, such as flip-flops, tank tops, and unkempt attire, as they send the wrong signal. Instead, opt for well-fitted clothes, polished shoes, and good grooming. Cleanliness, deodorant, and a touch of cologne can go a long way. Thai women often respect men who look well put-together, successful, and healthy. A polished appearance makes them more comfortable and relaxed, which can lead to a more enjoyable and intimate connection. The girls in Bangkok spend hours getting ready to go to the clubs and often look amazing in their dresses and high heels. Try going to Flamingo in Emquartier or Thonglor Soi 10 and you will know exactly what I mean..[/QUOTE]
I don't know if I like or hate
Yes, I have read the many reports going back and forth. I used to think better than PH because of the potential scams in PH and didn't have that experience in BKK but this time seemed more bad than good.
Thermae. Got turned down by 2 cute girls. Decided to leave. Came back a few times but never found anything I liked and having to buy a drink each time I came in was not ideal. The SW outside were a bad choice. Tried 2 different girls with the same results. Girl gets to hotel and demands money first. I show have it but want to wait until after. She refuses to get shower and leaves. Other girl was preg and tried to cause a scene to get more money for doing nothing. I paid her to leave the other girl just left. Price was 2000 plus hotel.
SWs on Nana used to be my favorite. Found a lot of gems. This time was more Ladyboys and older than before. Price was 1. 500 to 3. 000. The most I paid was 2. 000 plus hotel. Russian girl turned out to be great and had a good body. The cute Vietnamese girl was not interested but then said would do a 3 some with her older friend.
Patpong Night Market bar fined one girl for here. Had to also pay for lady drinks. Total cost was close to 6. 500 but the girl was cute and I wanted to try. Had a great experience but not into paying BF and lady drinks. I do like the idea of maybe getting drinks and having fun without the take out.
Fiwfans tried 2 girls. 1 was great. She was into everything and the price was 1400. The other one the manager sent me to wrong room. Then when I got to "correct" room the girl was a little older and did not want to do 69 and her BJ was bad. Same price 1400. These places are a little outside the center but found 8 listings from same area. I like the price but picking from fake pictures and YMMV reviews are not easy.
I had more fun in Pattaya because of beach life, great resort, and lots of food and girl choices. BKK as been said is becoming overrun with tourist and tourist followers. I had fun and enjoyed my visit, just not sure I will rush to go back until "off season".
