Yes, and noโฆ
Expats are very likely to be hooked into a LT relationship or marriage, so you are not likely going to see them trawling beer bars, gogos, pool halls, discos etc. picking up the โusual typesโ that occasional visitors (assuming the OP in this case) would be wanting to hear about. If at all, maybe something a little more discreet like a massage place, or, even better, flying out of town.
LT stayers and single expats operate in a different league than occasional visitors simply because they are here forโฆ well, a long time. Not โbetterโ league, but just different. Most I know that P4P will generally have a stable of โregularsโ rotating in and out of the SIM card. Also, there is a degree of familiarity built up with the girls as the LT stayer is more likely to be seen out more (plus the girls quickly pick up on the fact that he is a LT stayer based on body, and subsequently, spoken language). In general, I would say that LT stayers, (and people that visit often or have been visiting for many years) get better (and therefore different) rates for things that are negotiable than an occasional visitor.
The reality is that YOU are the best type of BM to answer the questions posed by the OP, and you did a pretty good job, except that I think your ST/LT rates were 500 baht short on either end if we are talking about mean averages for the P4P population taken as a whole.
Furthermore, a lot of BMโs donโt want to address the OPโs questions because:
1. They may get called an overpayer or cheap Charlie.
2. They have already given several responses/posts already in different threads.
3. The questions are really vague and you really could write a small novel on the subject (did you hear that JayBee?
).
4. They are bored to death with the subject and/or it is apparent that the OP didnโt do any โresearchโ.
