I have heard from 2 different sources that some boys in go go bars in Bangkok are asking 6000 baht from customers to stay overnight.
This is a joke right?
Who in their right mind would pay this?

If it's not, guess which boys there is no way I would ever take.Quote:

I wonder where they got the idea to even try to ask for that much.
Jupiter?
Wherever this began and whoever came up with it won't be getting any business at all from me. That's the equivalent of nearly US $170. No thanks. I'll stick with the apps.Quote:

When I am fortunate enough to find a boy who has been extra special, he certainly gets an extra special tip. But asking for 6000 baht before even leaving the bar? That's one bar I'd be alone when leaving, never to return.
I am curious about one thing, though. If a boy tells me he wants 6000 baht, then I'd at least want to know what he intends to do to earn it . . .
lol...even when I reward them with 1000bht I still wanna know what they are going to do to deserve the reward...especially "u bottom"...or me 1 you 0....and the time Im renting the body for.....thats also critical...
Had a wonderful flip fuck today, man asked for 80 cop (20usd) gave him 100. he paid his own taxi. definitely has my repeat business. (in Medellin , Venezuelan man 24 yro. great kisser.
maump...Im so jeallus i coulkd scratch your eyes out...not that id bottom...naturally
It could be the boy's way of refusing you without hurting your feelings.Quote:

On the whole, I'm a little sceptical ....perhaps a miss-translation on the part of homeseeker's friends?
On Romeo, there is a thai boy in Pattaya who demands 200€ (7,600 baht) for ONE HOUR of sex.
Another one asks 300$ (10,000 baht) for one night and a third one 30,000 baht for the night! The first one is Thai and the second is black mixed. I don't know if they have any customers but looks that prices are beginning to increase sharply
Just seen this on a different Thai gay web site:
" 6000 baht for overnight quoted to me recently by few Moonlight guys"
The same people who think it's worth paying 550 baht for a drink in Bangkok gogos probably think 6000 baht is a bargain.
550 is not for the drink silly....its a cover charge...i dont mind paying at all as i enjoy the show..loved just about all of them...yje silly antics dozens of guys in tight underwear on the stage showing off their bodies....the big cock shows...the fuck shows...walking & fucking amongst the audience..love every minute of it...cant stand the drag queen lip sync but hey whatever rocks your boat...yet when it comes to renting one off an app i enjoy bargaining.....
Sounds great. Which bar was this?
LOL, when were you last in Bangkok gogos? The 90's? You pay for a drink and for watching some fat ladyboys lipsync to horrible music.Quote:

I can confirm that there are no fuck shows anymore in Bangkok go-go bars. I was there last week and went to shows in three bars. they all consists of drag queens doing lip sync and boys doing some sort of dance number. That's it, basically.
oh good lord no, must admit I cannot stand drag queen or anyone else lip syncing....and now with babylon gone there is no reason to visit BKK, guess It wull be straight to Pattaya...
Bangkok is quickly becoming an upscale, cosmopolitan and international city. The standard of living has risen dramatically, and prices are going to reflect this. There are now 34 restaurants in Bangkok with at least one Michelin Star, more than San Francisco, LA, or Chicago. The IconSiam and Asiantique shopping malls are more opulent than most you will find in North America, indicating the spending power of the local economy. Although many services are still being offered at good value, it is simply not the dirt-cheap city that it once was. $6,000 Baht is about $167 USD, which is not enough to buy even one hour of escort service in North America, let alone overnight. Given an international perspective, it is perhaps not surprising that prices are catching up where demand is high.
asntp...you need to venture away from your wealthy ghetto...Thai minimum wage is still only BHT360/day....there will be no shortage of affordable companions while this huge disparity exists....Id rather be poor & out in the west than in Thailand..you can keep your upscale malls.....I suspect the government social safety net does not amount to much
I dint think your comment about wealthy ghetto is justified, but I take your point. The Thai safety net is loose, and full of holes. There is supposed to be free healthcare, but none of the boys i know had heard of it! However, as was said, sometimes Bangkok seems like London or worse. In Icon Siam there are plenty of goods that you can buy in London more cheaply, but it is busy. The Oriental et al are as expensive as New York.
All the boys I know who have tested positive for HIV seem to be aware of the free health care (30Baht) and are taking advantage of it. For HIV cases the non-Thais can also avail themselves of free or inexpensive meds.Quote:

Not qute accurate! Mid week the Mandarin Oriental in New York like many similar top chain hotels is around double Bangkok rates. Unsurprisingly, New York is much cheaper at weekends whereas Bangkok is more expensive. Supply and demand!Quote:

I once was asked for 5000 for short time from a boy who had a few videos on twitter and onlyfans.
I think he was offended when I offered 1000. I'm the one who should feel offended!
There is a huge difference between what boys ask for and what they actually get paid.
Plenty around for 1000 for me, everyone who wants more good luck with someone else!
cpfc, it was possible that he just didn't fancy you as a client and was him politely letting you down so as for you to save face. Possible?
nah, highly doubt it.....money is money...apart from sex my other favourite activity is people watching and I'm fascinated with the hard working "working boys"...night after night with a different client...sit outside telephopne bar & watch them arrive with or meet a client there...the feigned interest, the smiles, holding hands, caressing...all shapes, ages,sizes, colours...possiblt chridstians mistake was going too loow too fast in a too direct manner...if its a face to face negotiation...I'll clutch my heart & laugh saying his price soo high he give me heart attack...he will laugh...I say he too hi society for me...joke around a little...let him know not my first time hopping onto a whore...that I know the going rate...fun and easy exercise....love bargaining for butt...say with a funny surprised look that you dont wanna marry him...only want to enjoy fopr 1 hour...that he can then come back & look for 5k man to marry...joke around..inevitably he will realise that he can save face by climbing down from his silly 5k request as u have given him a way out...so easy...
...and as far as what fair is...must admit I shop in low income envionments...Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Africa, Brazil, Costa Rica, South& East Europe, USA (not the LAs or New Yorks) and vast majority of my shopping has been under USD50/short time....so 6k is just silly for Thailand...thats a months salary for a labourer.
In my experience, Friday and Saturday nights in NY, are actually more expensive, as people come in for the weekend.
During many visits to NYC I have usually found week-end rates are cheaper. Not that I can afford the high-end hotels but a quick look at the Mandarin Oriental rates does show reduced week-end prices - some as low as half price. If travelling for business, I try to arrive on Friday, see friends and a show or two over the week-end and pack as much business as possible into the Monday.Quote:

Asking for sky-high ‘tips’ is nothing new. Around 1998-99 I was quoted 5000 baht for the winner of a just- ended big cock contest at Super A bar in Bangkok.
"No thanks."
In my opinion, while comparing prices in Thailand to prices in other locales might be interesting, it is also meaningless in terms of Thailand. The only thing that counts in Thailand is the way things work in Thailand. Maybe in the rarest cases there are boys asking for thousands of baht, but it is not by any means the norm.
From where I sit, a boy asking 6000 baht is WAY out of line. If a boy ever asks that of me, before I respond he'll have to wait a bit while I finish having my little laugh. Not going to happen. Those kinds of asking prices are unprecedented in Thailand, and I, for one, am not about to let such a precedent be set, especially since there are multitudes of boys perfectly willing and happy to go with normal prices.
