Pattaya Reports

[XXL]

... and sure not everyone go for 2 k and of course there are a lot of 'hot' ones (who may well be starfishes in room) who would not look back if you say 2 k LT....

Indeed 'hot' ones, as you say, unwittingly putting your finger on the real issue. And when not only 'hot' but 'young' to boot, it's even worse. As to their possibly being starfishes, doesn't it sound like sour grapes?

With much idle time on my hand, I often sit surfing in my hotel lobby, at the same time spying on what girls guests have in tow. It's a mostly non-Asian hotel. I'm not impressed, to say the least. I don't know what those guests paid but I'm sure you can't accuse them of driving up prices.

...
... but if you are normal looking fellow I doubt you need to spend a single night alone if you willing to part with your 2 k.

I was answering fellow member Lanthano's query and since he and I met some years ago he'll be the judge of how normal looking I am. But again, not needing to spend the night alone is not very relevant. As mentioned above, the real question is: 'hot' and 'young'?

No Great soi 6 shenanigans to report today.

Only the normal price for guys that can't negotiate and think they are cool if they overpay or look better. I think its pure idiocy. Its guys like you that drive up prices.

And for no reason at all. I have never seen any girl wanting 4 k for short time on all of those thaigroups and pages I have looked at.

That's because you're looking only at the low scale of what Pattaya has to offer.

You're focused only on the price per bucks, like the subcmdr motherfuck so you can't understand other people's mindset and you call them idiot.

You've got to understand that some girls are popular and are racking up loads of dudes queing to get their hands on these kind of chicks.

If you pay attention to the attractiveness of the chicks, eventually you'll have no other choice than giving her an interresting enough offer for her, because these kind of girls have become kind of scarce in Pattaya.

If that chick is queing guys willing to give her 3 or 4 K for ST, why the fuck would she want to accept your lowball 1,5 K offer?

The problem right now is based on offer and demand more than anything else, there are too few attractive girls for the amount of punters visiting Pattaya and any guy coming in Pattaya can afford to pay 3 or 4 K for ST at least once (except subcmdr it seems).

Many times here it has been said that it is bullshit when a chick says she has to bring the key to a friend. I have always said it is true and actually a thing. At my building the person without a key thing happened so often that the owner posted a sign on both sides of the door saying 20 baht if someone needs the door opened for them. He has even gone as far as to put one of those card readers in the elevator to remind Thai people not to leave their key. (You can always take the stairs without the card reader though and wait by the door for someone coming in or going out to let you out.).

In true Thai fashion, they would rather repeatedly pay a 20 baht fine for not having a key than to get a key made for 30 baht. Somehow my girlfriend has been getting into the building and showing up at my door. The first time I thought maybe she walked in behind someone. But I went outside yesterday and saw that instead of copying the damn thing someone stores their keycard on top of the change machine next to the door so they can share it.

Another thing we know is that Thais would rather risk a 1000 baht fine than to buy a 200 baht helmet to put on their heads. If guys here report paying all this money and giving all these tips to people, then you would at least expect them to take care of mickey mouse shit like a key or helmet so it will not cost them exorbitantly more in the future, but TIT.

I never ask a girl "How much? That's a rookie mistake that even some so called veterans make. I always approach a girl with my rate first and negotiate from there. If you ask the girl "How much?" then of course she is going to shoot high. It's a no brainer and some guys don't get that. If you make your offer first your chances are better.

What the hell? What you are talking about doing is the rookie mistake. Who would go up to the owner of a car or house and just make an offer without knowing how much they were looking to get? You walk up offering them 2000 baht off the bat when they may have been willing to take 1000 baht if you had bothered to ask. In 90% of the cases dealing with you, it is their lucky day. You do all the shooting high for them.

Case in point. I emailed dive shops in the Caribbean about taking the self-reliant course and they responded in the neighborhood of $500. This morning I went to a dive shop in Pattaya and asked about the course. From your perspective I should have walked in and offered $400 for the course. But no. I walked in and asked how much for the course. I was told 1500 baht, which is $45 for 2 days with everything included.

Even when offering, there is a saying that goes if you are not embarrassed by your offer, then you are offering too much.

I am premium member and have no such problem. My photos have never been verified. Moments ago I sent 2 TF messages, both were successful. One used the mobile app and the other used the full website (laptop). One possible twist is that I'm currently located in USA and not using VPN.

I'm a premium member as well, and never had this problem either. Not until yesterday anyway. And I'm not using a VPN.

[KrumeLurer]

I don't think 2000 baht is anywhere realistic these days for long time. In fact 2000 has become the normal short time asking price.

I myself pay (ok, overpay) my regular girl 4000 for short time. We have had a barebacking arrangement for a couple of years now and we never gave each other any STD, which is also what I pay a premium for. But it goes to show girls' level of expectation at present. Before covid I was paying this girl 1000 at Soi 6 + 400 for the room. During covid I paid her 1500 to meet at my condo.

P.S. You should clear some space in your mailbox if you want PMs to reach you.

It should not be a problem to get ST from 1200-1500 with anything that looks good on TF. I have barebacked long time for 2 k baht.

[HorseTrader]

Suddenly I cannot reply to messages or send new messages anymore in TF. Instead I get the question if I want to verify my photos.
Anyone else who has this problem too?

I've lived here over 10 years and yet to pay more than 2000 for LT (I mostly do LT) and would not call myself sex starved, nor do I go with overweight ones. Certainly asking prices have gone up and average transaction prices too, and sure not everyone go for 2 k and of course there are a lot of 'hot' ones (who may well be starfishes in room) who would not look back if you say 2 k LT.

Sure being resident and having had time to find matching regulars helps keeping prices fair, but if you are normal looking fellow I doubt you need to spend a single night alone if you willing to part with your 2 k.

The problem with guys that talking about and accepting the higher rates is because that's what they are settling for. I never ask a girl "How much? That's a rookie mistake that even some so called veterans make. I always approach a girl with my rate first and negotiate from there. If you ask the girl "How much?" then of course she is going to shoot high. It's a no brainer and some guys don't get that. If you make your offer first your chances are better. If you don't like a counteroffer then move on. A lot of guys don't hunt. They are obviously too lazy for that. They don't want to put in the work or effort and it doesn't take a long time either. In Pattaya I have never paid over 1. 5 K for ST /2. 5 K LT the highest and the lowest was 700 for ST.

Use mltiple venue and avenues to achieve what you want and it will be fruitful. Guys that just sit up in one bar all night will be limited to only what is offered there and then come on this website and tell everyone that the going to rate in Pattaya is what they found at that one bar which is a total misperception and giving misleading information about Pattaya as a whole. In other words they are spreading "FAKE NEWS"!

Aside from the fact that these are relevant questions for this forum, maybe if the threads weren't clogged with peripheral topics, it might be easier to access this info without wading through nonsense.

Yes, this is a real problem. My solution was to put the worst few offenders on my ignore list. With their posts invisible, it is much easier to find the interesting information that was posted by others. I took that step when I realized that these nonsense posters provide near zero valuable information buried within their prolonged posts.

[Turgid]

It is not as easy as you make it out to be. Even the girls in the bars do not want to go with non-asians if they are cute or young. I saw a guy from Germany offer a girl 30,000 and she still refused him.......

Even if he was a smelly Shrek I'd find that hard to believe. 30,000 baht?!

[Mogwai]

But honestly, from what I can see on TF, I may be overthinking this. Pattaya still has the same kernal. Can't wait for next week.

Yes, you may be overthinking this. In the last two weeks I have found several lovely young ladies in TF. The usual price was 1500 baht for a ST with BBBJ and BBFSCIP.

[XXL]

....

And the prices, are people still getting long time for 2000 baht around?

What did you find out so far from doing research and reading?

*Here's a side note* ISG is not the only place to obtain information. As a matter of fact, there is more information to obtain outside of the ISG website than here and if this website is your only source of information then you're doing it all wrong.

This is the second time I have come here, and I find myself interrupting someone's irrelevant multi-page discussion about baht buses, to bring the topic back to what people actually care about, and then to get the usual RTFF. You know what?

Aside from the fact that these are relevant questions for this forum, maybe if the threads weren't clogged with peripheral topics, it might be easier to access this info without wading through nonsense.

Apparently this reaction is so entrenched on here by some, that it's become acceptable? I dunno.

For my own fair city, I provide information if I know. (That's the word 'guide' in internationalsexguide.).

I've been to our fair sin city at least 4 times, and it's good to get an update whether much has changed. I didn't ask for a guide for every single venue.

Thank you to everyone that answered.
