fforest Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 There are now more than 200 perfectly legal retail outlets in Pattaya and beyond whose main function is selling the now-decriminalized weed. It can be bought in top or medium quality, straight or in joints and as a food and drink additive. https://www.pattayamail.com/news/pattaya-cashes-in-on-marijuana-bonanza-413657 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh cow Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I would like others opinion. Having been a long retired monger due to the ravages of age and a good woman that gives me no need to stray, I have oft wondered the attraction of bar girls. Being still an occasional barfly who can enjoy the banter with the girls and as much as I can enjoy their company within the confines of the bar and if they are funny and entertaining I am happy to ply them with a few lady drinks for their trouble, but that is the end of it for me. IMO many are pretty average looking. Many are well tattoed but I accept what is a turn off for me maybe a turn on for others. I often see on Thai forums the cost of bar fines ST/LT, lady drinks etc. Being a frustrated retired engineer in costing projects It peaked my interest as to what a bar girl short time would cost all up. Having no current experience in this field, the following would be my estimate. Now this is predicated on someone, not a cheap Charlie but not overly generous either, intent on some drinking entertainment finishing with a happy ending. So would the following be unreasonable on a night of a bit of mongering entertainment? 5 X lady drinks say 750 baht. Bar fine 1500 baht S/T 1500 baht. Total 3750 baht. Now I just had a quick look at Smooci escorts and picked a lady at random that IMO had a nice body and was quite attractive and looked better than most bar girls I've seen and the price was the same (3750) for two hours. What am I missing here? In my youth it was the thrill of the hunt. Buying it removes that thrill either way, be it escort or bar girl. Is it just easier after a bellyful of alcohol to top it off with someone available, or the belief you've got to "know" her after buying her a few drinks? Or is it a drunken delusion that they would go back with you anyway after dazzling them with a few lady drinks and your amazing patter? The "bar fine" is just to get them released from their job temporarily and S/T money is just secondary, more like paying them to leave after your thirst for a little horizontal rhumba has been filled and your interest factor in them has now dropped to zero. Or have you deluded yourself (probably fatally) into thinking there was more there than a monetary transaction and this could be the future love of your life, whereas the Smooci escort you have to consciously pay for sex. There is no delusion of attraction. To me there is no right or wrong answer, I am just curious to others take on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learnt my lesson driving on weed early. When i was around 20 a friend offered to share a joint but i told him i had to drive. He told me it would be ok as it was very mild. Anyway about 30 minutes later Im driving down Nepean hwy in melbourne in first gear wondering why the motor was over revving. I had to detour to a friends house and crash on the couch for about four hours. I then had to go and do a job for work. I was still stoned on the job and had to go back the next day to finish it. I never did that again. The irony of the story was my boss knew I had an occasional joint on the weekend and had asked me not to do it near his son as he was easily influenced and he didnt want him taking drugs. Guess who my supplier was? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no delusion of attraction. To me there is no right or wrong answer, I am just curious to others take on this. Ive been there with 2 long term relationships with thai girls,4 and 5 years each,first couple of years yea never strayed either..😙 if i remember right lol,i was the same ply some bgs with a few drinks,play pool but......,then i did,not that the sex got boring with the gfs,just well its our nature is it,you see someone you like thats it game on,wasnt just the drink as stopped drinking for couple of years while in pattaya so no drunken delussions there. For me its the freedom going from bar to bar,the hunt ye,maybe couple of nights just got drunk had a good time without finding a girl,tho mostly did even when not really looking,the prices you quoted seem to be bottom end gogo prices,most i payed for a bf was 600bht beer bar,lowest soi 6 300 bht,and zero bf beach road 😃.and happily if they were average looking or not tho i thought some of them were above average for me,wouldnt give me a second look out with an entertainment area. The prices arent unreasonable tho,ive spent more than that on a night and also less than that,but i was on holiday blow out mode for 3 weeks,so didnt care,to sum it up really its just great fun,a great time meeting new girls in the bars...living there with a tg totally different,spent a lot less...but the delusion works either way :) Edited October 30, 2022 by Phantom51red 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 6 weeks ago in Soi 6 for an ST with an absolute stunner,400b fo the room(upstairs) & 1200b for the girl. I did buy her a drink but can't remember how much it was but I do remember getting change from 2k fo the lot. I also gave her 100b tip as she was also an excellent player of the pink oboe. 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no delusion of attraction. To me there is no right or wrong answer, I am just curious to others take on this. I find as I get older that I am not as motivated to knock as many of them off in a given time as I used to be - especially on the longer trips where you're not so concerned about making every day count. In the early years it was always LT but nowadays I find that I am happier with ST unless I know the girl well because I simply sleep better alone, and it seems that most of the girls would rather do ST themselves. Plus, I think that LT is a good deal if she is willing to come across with the goods in the morning, but if she just wants to bugger off then you've basically paid her to sleep with you and I can't justify this. I've always been a beer bar/hostess bar/GC type of punter, have no interest in paying stupidly expensive barfines and while not a cheap charlie, I do keep tabs on my expenses and don't give extravagant tips. I don't mind the go-go experience occasionally but won't hang around them every night. But I do enjoy the social aspect of it - the "hunt" so to speak, just cruising around from area to area, bar to bar and seeing what is around the next corner, a bit of banter here and there and I've found some real gems this way. Sometimes I end up drinking too much and going home alone but if I had a good time I'm fine with that and the girls will be there the next day. One thing I love about Pattaya is that even if I don't feel like having sex on a particular day, I know that it's only five minutes away in one form or another if I change my mind and it will certainly never be that way at home. 7 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post, maipenrai! I would bet that many here, especially gentleman of a certain age, would agree with your synopsis of their own "hunting" adventures while in Pattaya. Your description above pretty much fits me to a T. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
