Cost for a night out and other questions

[LoveYa!]

Same reaction I get when I read "Farm Fresh" on every second trip report.

It's fairly easy to predict those nights...you'll have spent the whole day running to and fro from the bed to the toilet 555

 

[RoadRunner]

Luckily never had one of those days last trip, had a day or two when I felt like death but forced myself alcohol and felt normal. 5555

My apologies for anyone who was offended by my comment. It wasn't meant to be offensive, though I can understand how some may have taken it that way.

As I mentioned, I've been in Japan for over a decade, and I've spent a bunch of time in China, as well as dating a girl from Taiwan, and all of these nationalities refer to themselves as yellow, and in fact, the term for Asian in Japanese is 黄色人種 - 'yellow-colored-person-type'. With my comment, I was kind of hoping that Thai people referred to themselves the same way (though they are definitely much more brown than the East Asians), and between that and the English saying of 'the other white meat' (a saying which I incidentally also have a lot of fun with in Japan) I only meant it to be a humorous play on words. So for those of you who were offended, again, I apologize.

-------------------------------------------------

An anecdote: My first trip to Thailand was 9 or so years ago, with another Canadian friend from Japan. It was our first trip to SE Asia, and while I had the idea that there might be girls who luv me long time, from seeing too many Vietnam movies as a teenager, I didn't really realize that it was a big industry in Thailand. Both of us had girlfriends in Japan, and we weren't here to meet women, but rather just experience that which was Thailand - and buy some cheap suits.

We went to Chang Mai first, and on our first day, we noticed a bar with a sign that said 門 (Mon - means 'gate' in Japanese). It said 'Japanese club' (in Japanese) on the sign. Now in my mind, this meant a dance club, discotheque style, that Japanese people frequented. So we decided to go there that night. At this point, we hadn't seen any kind of p4p scene in Chang Mai, so we didn't really even know it existed. As we tried to walk into the bar, an arm got thrown across my chest (I'm a pretty big white guy, and by no means could I ever even pretend to be Asian) - "Japanese only" I was told. "But I speak Japanese" I responded in Japanese. This threw them for a bit of a loop, and they chatted for a bit, then let us in! Now at this point, I was still expecting a dance club, so were we ever surprised when we walked into a bar that was the same style as a Japanese hostess bar, and they lined up about 20 girls with Santa hats (this was Christmas eve) and told us to pick two. In Japan, they just send girls to your table, you have to pay extra to choose a favorite. We were a little shy as this was a completely unexpected situation for us. When we sat down with the girls at the table, they told us that we were the first non-Japanese ever in the bar!

It was a good time, and we ate, drank, and had a good time for two hours, and as far as I recall it was something like $25. In Japan, this would have cost us $250 for that same thing, so we were completely surprised.

We didn't barfine the girls, because we didn't even realize you could, we weren't even there to pick up girls in the first place, and we both had girlfriends back in Japan. But it was still a great time, and a good memory I have until this day.

Anyways, my point is, I almost wonder if I shouldn't try one of the Japanese places on this next visit. From all accounts, the girls are quite hot, but more expensive. I'm coming on a Japan salary though (well kind of - I'm self-employed), and I'm wondering if I can leverage my Japanese ability again.

But realistically, I'll probably just try to find a hot chick who will go with white guys

 

[Zamarus]

why is that a rule?
i would find it boring if i didn't buy ld's
you don't have to be a fool about it, but a few here and there livens things up, regardless if you plan on taking the girl or not

 

[Dennisse]

Had to google him to see who is was - looks like an older version of Steve Coogan

First of all, the question cannot really be answered and in all honesty (response to 5-10k spending) and based on my recent experiences (low season), I think you could possibly manage to do a whole day and night and two ladies (depending on what ladies you want and from where) on only 3000 (VERY limited drinking), but then the involved people would not be really happy, but then again even if you spend 20000 nobody will really truely care anyway (it is the baht world and you are just another customer), it all comes down to what makes you happy, which could be to enjoy making others happpy to a less or more extent as well as yourself in the process or only yourself.

5000 or less budget does however require that you make a plan for what you want to do and that you don't drink to much (= loose control of your brain), if not you will easily end up on 10000 or more.

It depends on who you are (how the ladies perceive you) and how and what you enjoy doing during the day and the evening and night and whith whom and where you like to spend your time - up to you

^ Especially in Rawai?

Last trip i was the only customer in the bar and was buying rounds 4 LDs at a time.. only problem was me getting in a taxi back to Patong they wanted me to sleep out the back of the bar with them all.. 5555

 

[eyedea]

Of course! I knew coming into the thread that everyone will be a little different, I was just wondering on some thoughts. I think that's given me enough to work with. I'll have up to B10000 a night that I'm willing to spend, but I'd rather keep it down around the 5000 mark if I can. I just wanted to see if this was in line with other people's thoughts or not, and it appears to be.

 

[Nicole_x]

Yeah and you'd have woke up with an ar5ehole like a blood orange !!!! 55555

 

[wazzyrobin]

Don't drink to much (hey you want to remember your experiences, right?), stay away from the bell (especially in crowded bars without 1000 limit) and keep LDs to the ones you want to go with and you should be fine on 5k (still depending on who and how you are though and what and how many ladies you like every day+night) and enjoy your trip

 

[Miss smiley]

There was only 1 LB out of the 4 and she had already smoked me.. so thought it was best for me to leave. 55555

 

[sipadan]

Allowing yourself 10k a night will be fine, sometimes you will spend it all, sometimes you will hardly spend any of it, just go with the flow

 

[eric d on my block]

Talking from experience Si???

 

[Pompal 09.]

WTTB White Ninja, I agree... stick 10K in your wallet every day, what you don't spend is a bonus.
I would love to sample the talent in Japan one day mate.

 

[Cecil]

Not a chance mate...mine's an exit NOT an entry you sick fcuk!!!! just refering to Simon's previous experience in Rawai with the taller ladies and what it might resort to if he over stayed his welcome !!! 55555

i try and allow myself 2 types of day - 1 where i do pretty much whatever i want and another when i have fun but try and watch the cash. by then i'm out for 3 weeks so have to budget a bit.

my beer drinking remains the same irrelevant of what type of night i'm having 10 ish beers and then a few samsongs to kill the night - usually about less than 1000bhat for that

food usually about 1500bhat

on a big day out i usually spend about
800 for a massage and extras
2000 for ST/BF & few drinks for the girls etc (i always check the price of the drink for the girls first)
1000 for the other things i do like buying some of the girls a bit of tea or similar

so about 6500 for a good night out.

A lesser day out i do away with 3 above so it's nearer 3k

but each to there own

 

[aloha]

How do you get 10 beers and a few whiskey's for 1,000?
