Just got back from Patong on Nov 27 after 3 weeks.
Price report
Didnt do ST only LT... 1000 would do the trick some were 500. One that was acting weird, I sent packing with no money at all the next AM. No clothes came off. nuff said. Most, when asked how much would just say "up to you" I think we only settled on a number twice.
I think those guys at the end of Bangla were TukTuk drivers. Damn there are a lot of those guys!! they are supposed to post a fare sheet. We met one and the going rate is 150 to go from Patong to the next beach south. I felt very safe there. With all the scams I keep hearing about in Patt and BKK.
LD were 120 where I went... I really dont understand this whole LD thing. I thought it was pretty stupid. She is going to get paid if I take her with me. But I got the skinny that they get 20Baht commision on these. I think you would be better off just giving her the 20B yourself. I would just politely tell them no. If they give you any grief there are only about 800 more girls to look at so no biggie IMO.
Food seemed quite reasonable but probably not by Thai standards. Decent plate of food 120B
Dont eat at Papaya on beach road... service sucked and it was overpriced. No need to put up with that with so many options around.
Sweet Restaurant at the base of Patong Tower was a repeat performance on this trip. Friendly staff and good food. Other restarurants in the plaza are probably good too.
Room at Tropica Bungalow was 2700 Nice place. girl friendly. I wanted to BF the desk staff but didnt have the guts. Probably a bad idea anyway.
In terms of girls not being available to go out.. I encountered this only twice. Both times probably shouldnt have done it. Chances of success were low to begin with.
One was decent looking one behind the bar at U2 she said her sister worked there and didnt go out. The other one was a very hot waitress at Mr. Goods seafood.
Motorbike rental according to TG should be 150B got a brand new one for 200B
In terms of attitude I guess it depends on what you look for. Seems to me that a lot of the folks on here like to go for the gogo scene. I personally didnt go to one. I prefer the girl next door anyway and had no problems scoring numerous hotties for company that met my criteria.
The BG are literally physically pulling you in off the street. This is especially true in the sois where all the drink prices are the same and all the bars are the same. Thus it doesnt matter which bar you go into as long as it is theirs. They seemed really aggresive towards me at times. Not in a mean way but lets just say very motivated to want to talk to me. Does everyone experience this?
As far as attitude goes. I thought everyone I met was very nice and friendly with the exception of the one weirdo and the one starfish fat model.
Of course, I have nothing to compare to since this was my only visit to LOS but thats the skinny so far.
Phuket is definitely more expensive than Pattaya and Bangkok. Hotels are more expensive and transport is more expensive. Generally food is also more expensive. There is a much smaller selection of women in Phuket and there is a limited number of stunners. Most of the girls who were decent wouldn't budge from 1500LT and that was at the bottom end. Phuket is more a general tourist resort rather than a sex tourist destination and it is much inferior to Pattaya and Bangkok for nightlife.
