[QUOTE=BoobsMcghee;3075139]I've been reading through a lot of older threads and noticed different approaches to negotiations on ThaiFriendly and similar sites. Some guys seem to ask the girl for her rate first, while others appear to simply make an offer (e. G. , "X baht for why") and let her accept, decline, or counter.
For those of you who've been doing this a while, what is your typical approach?
* Do you ask her rate first?
* Do you make the first offer yourself?
* If you make the first offer, do you usually get a counteroffer, or is it mostly take-it-or-leave-it?
I'm not asking what the "right" price is. I'm more interested in how the negotiation itself usually unfolds in practice. I'the be interested to hear how you veterans typically handle it.[/QUOTE]I won't ask her fee first. I will ask if she would like to go upstairs (Soi 6, Pattaya) or if she would come back to my hotel for short time. At that point she will mention bar fines and rates. If she quotes a high rate, I will frown and tell her I won't pay that much. I will make a counteroffer only if she requests it. I will only negotiate briefly. I don't go for rock bottom pricing as it ruins the vibe. My stack permits me to do this. By the same token I won't accept her offer if it is way out of line. On very rare occasions I'll bring up pricing if she doesn't first. But I never sit there and haggle. I'll do one counteroffer at most.
