Ok, I don’t want to sound like a grouch. but I am SO glad high season is just about over. I venture out a bit less during high season because the throngs of new tourists invariably jacks up the prices for everything debaucherous. Drink prices go up, bar fines go up, and girls get these crazy ideas in their heads about short times. Pattaya’s Walking Street has started to undergo a very upscale shift that takes away the fun of being a manwhore. I’ve been finding my girls on less traveled roads lately, not wanting to deal with the attitudes of Issan farm girls trying to squeeze me for a dime. For example, the other day I was out with my friends. I chatted up this decent looking girl – not superstar showgirl mind you – and bought her a drink. 1000 baht for the barfine, 2000 for the short time, plus the room. She wouldn’t budge on the price. What the fuck? I tipped her and thanked her for her time, and headed off to one of my secret locations where the whole experience is 700 baht. I took 2 girls for a 2 hour romp that I’ll never forget for HALF the price of a snotty little gogo girl. Low season will return, the girls will be desperate for a lay, and things will be back to normal. For a few months.
