Are these prices realistic though: (http://www.kingsofthailand.com/how-m...t-in-thailand/) ?
I see $30 is their low end for "long time" but I suspect the nice fresh 10/10 young 18-21 yo is going to be more than $30 for the night?!
Refering to these prices:
Quote:
Now that you know what the range of cost is each type of hooker costs in Thailand, below is the price most men pay for sex (long time):
Bar Girl:
2,000 baht (60usd) + 300 baht (10usd) for bar fine
GoGo Dancer (Strippers):
3,000 baht (100usd) + 600 baht (20usd) for bar fine
Freelancers:
1,000 baht (30usd)
Massage Girls:
1,500 baht (45usd)
They are realistic for most places. In Samui and the non-walking street parts of Pattaya, and probably also Chiang Mai and other lesser-known places, 1000 for long time is standard for a bar girl, and freelancers will quite often go cheaper depending on what time it is and how drunk they are. I'd be lying if I said 500 baht was common, but I'd be lying to say it's unheard of as well.
Remember that most of these girls are not only looking for a cash exchange over 1 night. Many of them are looking to make you their boyfriend so that you'll continue to send them money when you go home to your country and she can then sit around on her arse and do nothing as most Thais like to do. So they will sometimes go for very little or even nothing in the hopes of running a long con on you.
In my experience what the girl looks like doesn't affect their price that much - only their availability - since obviously the hottest girls have far more customers.
Finally, bar fines are also not always required, especially after closing time. Some bars are very strict about it, some bars don't care what happens after 2am. If it's a bar you're a regular customer in, they might just waive the bar fine anyway.
All this is just my experience of living here in Lamai. Even in Samui prices differ by location and bar. Chaweng has a lot more tourists so it's more common for girls to want 1,500-2000 baht for long time there. Lamai is mostly expats who obviously spend less money than tourists, so the going rate adjusts to reflect that. Even here though there is the occasional bar where every girl in there would want 2000 baht.
Basically you can expect girls to cost more in tourist trap places like Bangla Road in Phuket and Soi Cowboy in BKK. If you hang around in places with more expats, e.g. Rawai in Phuket, Lamai, Chiang Mai etc, they are probably charging less.
